@Maxim Thank you, I hope you're having a wonderful Boxing Day!

Hilarious that RJ wasn't invited to neither the Logan or Forrester gatherings. Maybe he and Li are hooking up on the downlow and ditched Eric's party. Or he spent it with cousin Flo.

I hope today's show opens with Eric telling Ivy & Electra that the party's over so they can come out of their rooms now.

@bongobongIs it any wonder Ivy Forrester is happy about Carter taking over? Good grief.  Even though Ivy and Electra live with Eric and Ridge, did they even meet with Ivy regarding Carter/Hope? Nope. Zende. Were they even mentioned on Christmas Eve? Nope.

This is just awful writing. If Eric asked Ivy to spy for the family, you know she would. While Ivy/Steffy have issues, Ivy knows Eric supports her unconditionally. She wouldn't betray him. It's just weird.

Wouldn't E, R and S get bent out of shape that the *Logans* fired Electra without cause? That's just easy fuel for the fire in this whole story. I simply don't get this.

The fact that Brooke texted Ridge that she thinks of him on Christmas, after what he did to her the previous day... proves to me that Ridge and Brooke deserve each-other. They are both incredibly selfish trash human beings and everyone around them suffers in their orbit. That's the fact.

Brooke should have blocked his ass on her phone and never looked back. Then she should have started terrorizing him and his proxies through her CEO position. That would have made me GLUED to my screen. It would have, as @edgeofnik said a day ago, made me relive a little bit of BeLief's glory. A little bit, but enough to make me care.

But no... we have to watch this incredibly disappointing weak type of woman-gaslit-to-death-turned-into-pushover that in 2024 exists only in Bradley Bell's universe. Nobody in this day and age, especially if you are a successful rich b-tch, acts like Brooke did. 

If they don't turn this around after the Holidays... to Brooke getting her revenge... I don't see any hope for this show. I am not about to watch Brooke beg Ridge to pick her for the 38th year in a row. I'm done.

The stalking story of Electra started and came to a climax at warp speed.

I rolled my eyes at Hope chastising Ridge for swapping lovers so quickly. Hypocrite!!

Disgusting, especially given the context of this chauvinist pig calling her child a worthless slut and a nasty bitch days ago... and the same pig running to his ex less than 24 hours after he and Brooke had a fight.  Brooke Logan needs to seriously re-think her priorities. Like. NOW.

I hope this is just a Holidays moment and after New Years... the storyline turns into the BeLief from the dollar store- revenge type of thingy.  I would hate if they missed this opportunity. Finally Bridge has enough drama to break-up for good and Brooke has enough reason to become vengeful - something, she is actually good at.

You are probably right... Sadly. 

Knowing Bradley this will probably be a recycle of Ridge is preparing to marry Taylor while parallel to this Brooke is fighting with time to get Carter to sign the company back before Ridge marries Taylor.

It could go two ways.

1. Brooke succeeds. Ridge realizes she worked for his interest and leaves Taylor at the altar. Steffy starts getting nervous tics. Taylor's chakra breaks into little pieces and she suffers a cardiac arrest. They bury her very very deep so she can't dig herself back up next time. She will... of course... return some day played by in her late 20s actress.

2. It will be too late and Brooke will run to their wedding with the papers that are getting him his company back... Only to see Taylor and Ridge married already.  Brooke cries horribly. Brooke gets emotionally unstable and starts getting panic attacks that look like medical emergencies.  Hope calls Finn to help Brooke who has fainted. When Brooke opens her eyes she sees the handsome doctor and an idea comes in her head. Maybe this is her destiny. All hell breaks lose from this moment on.

-- Bradley is screwing up this Remy storyline, too. Am I the only one who thinks this is moving far too quickly? No way should Remy have been caught already.

-- The "executives" at Forrester have to be the dumbest bast@rds alive. It took WILL to tell them Electra's photo was AI??? And don't get me started on firing someone and not giving her a reason.

-- That's "Will To The Rescue On A Motorcycle" in the previews for next week? JFC.

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
