Steffy is a shrew.  However Comma And although I don’t watch much - I did look up from a presentation I was giving, put it on mute, gave people a pee break. And yelled a gutteral MM! MMM? MMMMMMUH!   Finn may have turned dumb, but damn I’d shuck him until there was nothin left but an empty husk.  His athletic lean sinewy needy body. Shewwwww

It really should be so easy for someone to tear Steffy apart for her hypocrisy, but because Bradley is obsessed with the whole namesake and JMW becoming Susan Flannery, I think this is how it will be where Steffy always wins by being a judgemental scheming shrew, without any consequence as Bradley often wrote Stephanie those last few years...

It shouldn't be remotely possible, but Bradley is definitely pushing this agenda cause I really think he's forever resented the fact that Susan got smart and up and left because she realized how Shi*ty the writing for Stephanie was. JMW has been his "new" muse for sometime.

At this point, Steffy is nothing more than one-dimensional antagonist for me. He tried to humanize her again with the Lunatic story... but she is just... incredibly 1 note. This has nothing to do with JMW. I actually like her as an actress and would place her maybe on my 2nd or 3rd place in the show. The only thing I don't like lately is how they are doing her hair!

I agree, I really do want to like Steffy more (there actually was a bit of time I did warm up to her for a bit.) and it's a shame so much potential has been wasted on this constant one-dimensional writing for her....but again that's pretty much how Bradley saw her namesake, and again he's determined to make that stick for as long as he's in charge....

The show will end before Steffy even remotely resemble Stephanie Forrester. Sadly for Bradley, he had the worst luck to FOLLOW his father William Bell... and we know gold from garbage.

Ok then I’m on….I have felt the same because I think, she’s a strong actress, but this is terrible.  Soooo mannnnnny things need to be thrown in their face when those gloves came off.  Like - you and your nutso son, Steffy/Liam/Wyatt just as incestuous as my daughter but she gets a pass?  Etc.

This is the strongest material Bradley has given Scott Clifton in the last 12 months.  God... if Liam was more like Scott... he is such a charmer! And Liam is NOT. 

 

Yep. Someone needs to get these things out in the open. Steffy is not someone who should be throwing stones, when she is living in a glass house.

But @soapfan770 how can you not like someone with such a SOAPY name as Daphne Rose.

Is she campy? Yes. Did I like it? Oh, yes. lol. I was wondering what the point of the perfume designer was. And then that reveal? Oooooo Steffy how scheming of you. Such a soapy reveal. 

 

Ridge continues to be ain't sh&t.

Acting wise? 

Easy picks.

1.Crew Morrow - he is acting circles around the cast. His scenes with electra, are... filled with so much chemistry.

2.Tanner Novlan - that man chose to stay in Bold, when he probably could get in high-budget cinema any day he wanted. So much talent. 

3.Murielle Hilaire - she is giving me Susan Flannery realness the moment she stepped in front of the screen. And that little moment with the scarf! Talk about iconic, girl!

Sorry but not sorry but the Ridge & Taylor, or Ridge 2.0 & Taylee or whatever scenes do not work for me at all, and I say this as someone who was a massive Ridge & Taylor stan back in the day 20-30 years ago.

RB & TK have zero chemistry and feel like complete strangers to me. This might have been interesting if HT or KA were here, but nope RB does not work for me at all. Decent actress but is not Taylor. She could’ve easily been a new character or if we had to a recast of some previous lost love interest ie Alex Simpson, Heather, or hell Shauna lol but no no no. 

At least we finally have gotten Donna involved in this story, spying on Ridge & Taylor and providing intel. Much overdue. 
 

And did I see right:

    • 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.
