It's like I'm reading my own thoughts. I am very disturbed by the current condition of the show.

For some crazy reason it will forever remain my favorite soap opera. It's the show that defined my childhood. I learned to speak watching the dubbed version on the TV. 

So I'm still not ready to give up that everything is lost.

Yeah it's terrible that not one story is working as of now and I'm getting really tired of every character being judgemental and hypocritical.  Sheila being offended that Luna has killed folks is just straight up idiocy.

Sheila and Luna were fun. That kiss would have seemed a lot less creepy if I didn't watch White Lotus on Sunday though.

Anika probably needs to see a chiropractor after doing all the heavy lifting in her scenes today.

I'll never understand why they didn't just keep Liam/Hope as the "supercouple". not that I care for them that much, but Thudley deciding to ever do a triangle at all with Liam/Steffy/Hope will always be a head scratcher to me...

I thought their scenes were ridiculous. Brad has two women kiss yet we haven't seen a gay character on the show. 

I guess Brad is going to have serial killer grandma Sheila and serial killer granddaughter Luna cause havoc in LA. Whoopi Not!

Hope...

Switching gears for a bit, I have a very nosy question, that's probably none of my business, but I'm curious none the less. I went down a bit of a rabbit hole into Kimberlin Brown's instagram page, and she had posted a video December 2023, that her youngest son and his wife were expecting a baby boy in June 2024. She's never posted any pictures of her first grandson (I think it's her first at least) so I was just wondering if anyone knows if everything went ok.....IDK, I'm probably a bit paranoid, but she seems to post often, though her son may have told her not to post any baby pictures.....

When Sheila was initially killed off, she was leaving LA to be closer to her son and grandson, but Bradley brought her back.

Bradley has become a mixture of Ron Carlivati, Josh Griffith and Megan Mctavish.

He has no vision for this show, much less stories, so he uses his crush of craziness to create plots.

3-14

 

That's it??? They went through all of that trouble with Operation Carter only for Daphne to get through to him so he can agree to give back the company? I didn't mind the pacing of it though in the home stretch it really did feel like Brad felt it was an afterthought. Still, I was not expecting an abrupt ending like that. At least it is going to have fallout from Hope's reaction to Hope/Carter/Daphne to Steffy being Steffy.

 

And speaking of abrupt, smh at Bill getting Luna pardoned. Does he have the power? Yes. But that was clearly seat-of-your-pants writing because if he had it, I would think he had used it a while ago. And now he has turned Luna loose? Lord...lol. But I did like having the smug look wiped off Ridge's face. I also loved Li being...Li. (choke her again! choke her for me! hehe). And I actually did like Luna vs Poppy...the one authentic note in the whole thing. Luna's throughline has always been her wanting to know her father. And while she's crazy, that does not take away from the fact she was right to call Poppy out. At least, not for me. 

 

Well...it was nice to have multiple (and rotating) stories while it last.

Brooke to Hope: "Until you take responsibility, I have no sympathy for you"

 

WHAT? Brooke dragging her own daughter and holding her accountable? Color me shocked

    • Thank u so much! I love that show and the more I see of it the more I want to find more of it even if it’s just in script form. But that house and especially the room looked like Victoria Winters room from dark shadows lol  this was great find! Thanks 
    • I genuinely thought when they said she had been throwing up, we were going to get a pregnancy story. I’m actually not convinced we aren’t. Especially the way she and Doug danced around her own infidelity.
    • Shouldn't it be the other way? I don't think Taylor Hayes is playing Rebecca Budig.

    • And the most detailed discussion I've seen from an industry figure about some of JFP's worst choices as a producer (steamrolling over writers) was from another woman, Megan McTavish.
    • IMDb is definitely incorrect, because the final week of episodes in 1974 is uploaded to Youtube in audio form, and Mark and Laurie are there until the very end. The last episode shows Mark going back to the priesthood. I looked at the newspaper and the earliest reference to their house being haunted by Georgina is in December of 1973. This is dated Dec 14, but this same synopsis ran in the papers until the end of December in other publications. So it must have been within those last 3-4 months. I think Stephanie Braxton joined around 1969-1970 so that's probably right. I saw it stated in other newspapers that David Gale joined around September 1972.

    • Opal having siblings could add to the story. However, it raises questions about Tad's adoption. Why were the Martins allowed to adopt him if Tad had aunts or uncles who could have cared for him?  Logic limited the number of possible Gardner's (and whatever Opal's maiden name was).  Even though Linda Thorson would have been a hysterical choice given her British accent.  Especially because SOD often published questions by readers who wondered why Tad and Jenny didn't speak like their mother.   All of which is still not an excuse for Tad's evil doppelgänger Ted. 
    • And if I remember correctly, at one point, they were considering having Linda Thorson play Opal's sister.
    • Interesting. Makes me wonder how the day to day looked for Secret Storm at this point in the run. This seems very to deal with the psychological aspect, I guess the "inner storm", and the music is almost sinister. If this is from 1974 there's not much room for dates it could've been from as it ended on February 8th.  It's hard to tell from an edit featuring just one storyline, but if this was the day to day it might've been heavy for the casual viewers.   ETA: Stephanie Braxton is credited to have appeared as Laurie from 1970-1973. David Gale is credited only in 1973 and Alexander Scourby from 1972-1973. I know IMDB isn't always right, but I'd say this is likely 1973 - I'm guessing all these characters exited before 1974 and this might be a part of their final storyline. 
    • Well, they were both involved with Ray Gardner.  Then, the actress left in 1980, only to return as a somewhat broader interpretation of the character after Dottie was SORASed.  By that time, Opal had left in 1983.  So, while they serve the same story function,(verbally abusive/neglectful mothers who make you feel sorry for their daughters), one could argue that Edna was the carbon copy.
