She really has been benched. Which is why I was happy to see that she seems to quickly be becoming friends with Remy, and it felt like her 'psycho' senses were slooooooowly going off observing him. And I hoped she might catch on. But if they are rushing the story (I haven't started watching this week episodes yet) already...perhaps it will be nothing.

 

I agree. B&B...like Y&R BITD...had a reputation of seeing if a story is not working, quickly taking a turn or ending it outright. So it should be easy fixes and yet...*shrugs* 

IKR!!! How the mighty have fallen.

I don't get the acceleration of the Remy reveal. Why has Will been the one pushing for answers and not Ivy? That's completely illogical. Ivy is not only her aunt, but also her boss. Ivy's just been like OK Electra got fired. Um, I thought Ivy needed a skilled assistant to successfully launch the jewelry line. So Ivy's lost her assistant and is completely blase about it? Stupid! 

Remy is a goner after he snapped back at presumably Deacon about never cleaning the grill again. Why bring him on, get him at job/apt at Ill Pizza Shack only to write him off. This is weird.

Meanwhile, we have to listen to Luna whine that she's being mistreated in prison. Honey, ask Tom, Hollis and Steffy how they feel. Watch Finn/Steffy welcome Luna back to the family, while Sheila is a forever pariah. Maybe Sheila will save Electra. Perhaps, Eric will thank her as Steffy rolls her eyes.

One last thing: the French singer asks for Brooke. Instead of saying Brooke, as CEO is taking meetings with anybody, the response is Brooke is at *home* taking care of things. WTH? So unbelievably bad writing.

The frustrating part is that all of the above stuff could be somewhat compelling with a few tweaks in the writing.

Spot on, as usual. I have nothing to add. I just love I'm not the only one that thinks all of this. Especially the last part about Brooke - she is the disappointment of 2024. I can't root for this woman anymore, if she'll act like this.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks the Remy/Electra storyline is being rushed like crazy.

You know what's worse than a bad storyline? Rushing a bad storyline. I appreciate it when soaps make course corrections based on what they see or on audience feedback, but BOLD takes that to new heights. What's happening with Remy is nuts.

BOLD does this with stories and with actors/characters. Krista Allen pissed off someone? Gone. Joshua Hoffman as RJ? Gone. Matthew Atkinson? Gone. Darrin Brooks as Wyatt? Gone.

I'm still waiting for Krista Allen to write a Tell All. Getting the boot after a fresh Emmy nomination and being invited to a cast photo... is something I want to read more about. The dynamics and the situations that led to all of this. I have my version in my mind, of course, but would love to read it from the woman herself. That's just a dream of mine, she's not obliged to do it of course, Krista doesn't owe us anything.

I just... have these scenes in my mind.

It's time someone did a Blake-Lively on Daytime. We need to hear what happened.

Like I said...Ridge ain't @#$!. He stood there in Brooke's face and wanted to go off on her when he was just playing kissy-face with Taylee. Oh the reveal of that was delicious. The only thing missing was Brooke slapping the taste out of his mouth.

 

I wonder how long this Zende double agent storyline will go on.

      Yeah. I wasn't feeling it either. If it was meant to be a chem test, it didn't work. I don't think so. Because I think Neil and Liz moved into that house after Stefano "died", and Neil lived there until he went to go see his patients and never came back

      I was really starting to enjoy it, but after Anspach, Shelton and Keane left, it got a bit blah to watch. Jane Russell was great as Rose, Buddy Ebsen as Toat was interesting as well.  If a second season were in the cards, I would have signed  Karen Carlson on to a contract and cast a couple more women as regulars. The cowboy aspect could continue. Sam Elliott, as always, was fantastic,  The camaraderie between Roy and Quisto was really good as well. Cybill... she was sex on a stick and unapologetic.   Poor Robin Wright barely lasted five minutes, though, before being raped and murdered.

      I love it that we've gone from daylight to dark -- Luna's even returned to work -- but Steffy is still sitting next to shirtless Finn on the sofa.

      Is the current DiMera mansion the same mansion Stefano moved into around 1983?  I remember that house was out near a lake, and not far from Doug Williams' night club.  In fact, there was a tunnel connecting Doug's Place to the DiMera mansion.  If it supposed to be the same house, I'm fairly sure it is not the same set.  But I'm aware sometimes soap opera sets change without any explanation

      Amazing work @slick jones I remember watching and enjoying Yellow Rose but losing interest once they went to self contained episodes, Interestingly that's the opposite of what Dallas, KL and FC did. So maybe YR should have been more episodic at first and then go to a fully fledged serial. But really the timeslot was the problem -Sat @10 was not the spot for a serial. And Rounders turned out to be a poor lead in. Maybe 9-11 Tues following A Team would have helped.

      LOL!!! He looks like he is reacting as if Luna just passed bad gas or something.

      Doug Marland came on board shortly before Gloria Monty, I believe. Jackie Smith was in charge of ABC daytime at that point. All of the characters in place were not his creations. Alan was created by Irving and Tex Ellman who wrote the hurricane story a few months before and brought in Alan, Scotty, David Hamilton, Dorrie and Lisa/Lana. His first character was  Bobbie in Jan 78. Apart from wrapping up the Lan/Lisa story he pretty much kept all the stories going just adding new elements.

      She is 29... she's inching closer, and we know how important age is on soaps.
