Can I say that I loved that Daphne got the Friday cliffhanger coda? Love it. Loved how she looked. The camera angles through the door. The music. Classic soap. Perfection!

 

That said...overall, I guess it was a good week. It went from a lot of things going on, waiting to see if anything sticks to a lot of things going on, but feeling more intrigued by it. Even if Friday was full of the usual B&B camp elements. Which didn't bother me cuz I'm used to eye rolling over it.

 

Like Brooke in her lingerie...was that even Ridge's office...and of course Taylee sees her. And I will give Taylee this...I was eye-rolling right alongside her. Because it is soooooooo Brooke. I'm not sure if I like Carter encouraging Brooke to be with Ridge, but he didn't say anything that was not true. Meanwhile, there was Taylee talking to Daphne about the silliness of Brooke. It did remind me that we are overdue another Steffy/Daphne scene. Since they are good friends, I really wouldn't mind that still going. 

 

Like Sheila, Luna, and the pizza. Heck, I was shocked it was a pizza ordered by ZENDE. And I wondered if Luna would even see Zende since I remember how triggered a lot of people get here when they are in scenes together. Thankfully, that did not happen. Meanwhile, she still acted like Luna in disguise so how dumb are folk to not realize that was her? Still...only Silk Press Sheila would think to go in in a disguise so I giggled as I eyerolled.

 

So...are they really going to kill Liam? Cuz it makes me think of how I feel about Sonny and his heart storyline aka DIE LIAM DIE.

 

Uh oh. Trouble in paradise for Will and Electra. Perhaps Sheila is not wrong when she was talking to Luna about how men are so easy. Well...*sips*

 

I loved that the back half of the week Daphne has been slowly tempting Carter. Classic vixen. And the coda really took my breath away. 

 

How funny. Y&R started off good last week, got great, and ended in a whimper. Meanwhile, B&B was the reverse.

This show was playing earlier this week while I waited for BTG. Taylor and Brooke were fighting about Ridge. OMG, really? Its been like 35 years and both have become grandmothers multiple times over. I cant believe either woman wold still see him as a prize with all his pingponging back and forth between them

The Sheila/Poppy scenes were illogical. The only reason Sheila would turn on Poppy is simply because Poppy will be eliminated and they need more suspects. Sheila passing judgment on anyone is just dumb and isn't true to character at all.

Sheila and Poppy as outcast allies would be interesting. Sheila understanding why Poppy kept the Lunacy secret because it protected Finn, allowed him to go to medical school, etc. Poppy could lean on Sheila to help her with Luna, even though she's still bitter about being framed for the two deaths. 

Poppy/Sheila united front against Li and Steffy! And Sheila could totally manipulate Poppy as a way to get Finn back into her orbit, which is Sheila's real goal.

-- I see Liam got the typical Bold "illness/diagnosis." We have no idea what's wrong. We hear he's getting better, but have no idea what that means. I have no idea why Bridget is typing on that computer in Liam's hospital room.

-- Sheila tells Luna "You are good." I guess that means people who aren't killers are "great."

-- Glad to hear Finn tell Sheila at the end of the show that he didn't want to be a part of Luna's life. I'm sure that will go away tomorrow.

-- This daddy/daughter stuff is so bad. BOLD doesn't care about kids unless they need to write contrived scenes that say "These characters love their children more than life!"

-- Finn spends all his time in his office while Bridget and  (apparently) Liam's personal physician are in his room 24/7. Wonder who covers the rest of the hospital.

-- Had to LOL at the previews for next week. After an entire half hour about Liam's inoperable brain tumor, it was all "Next week, a BOLD fashion show!!!"

Lord...the dialogue on this show. For all the good dialogue in the Poppy/Sheila catfight, there was the silliness of it in the Will/Luna and Daphne/Carter scenes. And Brooke talking about having class? GIRL, BYE. lol.

 

I don't know. I felt that having Poppy and Sheila getting closer before she found out Finn was Luna's father was obvious set-up for this moment. And what was Poppy thinking? It's SHEILA. LOL. And she gave fair warning and Poppy had to slap her twice. smh. And other than the ending with a cake fight, it was giving. So sad it went silly at the end. 

 

Ugh. Shut up, Taylee. It almost makes me want Brooke to take Ridge back out of spite. That said...I didn't like Brooke eavesdropping and then thought she was going to confront Daphne. GIRL, BYE. 

 

Will/Electra was just typical B&B silliness. And all I could think was that either Will is going to get drugged. Or he will fall for Luna's wiles. 

 

But...so far, so good.

If this happens... I will take everything bad I said about him (Bradley) in the past 2 years BACK. I'll forgive him for everything. Even for Sheila's missing toe. I want to see a tombstone with Liam's name on it! No, correction... I want to see ashes spilt over a swamp. I don't want to have even a slight chance of him coming back. Kill him with fire. And let us all forget that the years 2010-2025 even existed.

I don't usually like to cross post, as it borders on spam, but just in case some don't visit the Days thread, the Hollywood Graveyard channel on YouTube uploaded a new installment today. And the second grave visited in the video, right after Bob Barker, is Joe Mascolo, who played Massimo on B&B. I tried to mark the segment to around where his segment begins, at 2:44. But if it doesn't, just go to that point (or, hey, feel free to watch it all if you want to!):

 Bridget's reaction to Liam's "inoperable brain tumor" had me in stitches.

Not only was it fun watching Ashley Jones (try to) emote with a face that doesn't move, but seeing a doctor react to a tumor as she did was hysterical! "IT'S JUST NOT FAIR!!!" Bridget cried as she moaned and wailed about Liam's impending death.

Of course, Finn also pulled the "It's not fair!" card. Another clueless doctor.

I just can't with this show.

    • 1976 Pt 12 Final part Laurie agrees with Stuart that Peggy is rushing into marriage to prove that the rape didn’t ruin her life.  She points out that the only way Peg can be sure is to make love with Jack before the wedding. Stuart admits she’s right but points out that he can’t suggest that to Peggy. As the wedding approaches, Peg seems happy that Jack’s become close to the family. However, her happiness is shattered by a nightmare in which her loving bridegroom turns into a leering Ron Becker, forcing her to cancel the wedding. Jack reassures her he’ll wait as long as it takes, and Chris confides that she and Snapper didn’t consummate their marriage on their wedding night because of her own rape experience, but Peggy tells Chris she might never be ready.  Despite her desire to keep Karen as her own daughter, Chris helps a police artist create a sketch of Nancy so it can be printed in the newspaper as part of a search for her. When the attempt proves fruitless, however, Chris asks Greg to file application for permanent custody of the child. Greg points out that adoption is the only way to prevent Ron from returning and claiming the child, and that it will take quite a while. Meanwhile, a nurse in the psychiatric ward sees a resemblance  between the newspaper drawing and her autistic patient, Mrs. Jackson, but since “Fran” doesn’t respond to the name Nancy and no one else sees the similarity, she fears she’s mistaken. Jill is horrified to overhear Kay, when brihging baby Phillip a Christmas gift, telling the child she remembers the night he was conceived. Kay has to then admit to Jill she saw her with Phillip in the bunkhouse that night. Jill is aghast to realize that Kay new the truth all along and put her through such agony in spite of it, denying her baby his father’s name. Lance tells Laurie they’ll marry on Valentine’s Day. He laughs that it’s corny but agrees, secretly wishing it were sooner, as Vanessa has vowed to prevent it. Indeed, Vanessa makes an unprecedented venture out of the house to visit Brad, telling him to rebuff any advance Leslie might make to him, as she’s reaching out to him only from a sense of duty. But Laurie then makes a concerted effort to reach Vanessa. Without being sure why she’s trying so hard, she tries to assure the woman she’s not losing Lance and she, Laurie, will help her find a plastic surgeon somewhere who can help her. Grudgingly, Vanessa seems to be reconsidering her view of Laurie, and Laurie is delighted when Lance offers her a choice between two diamond necklaces, explaining that her preference will be Vanessa’s Christmas gift. Learning from Les about Brad’s blindness, Stuart tells Brad he could have turned Leslie away only out of great love. Knowing that Les is going to see Brad again, Laurie warns him not to bring the baby into their discussion, as Leslie will come back only she’s convinced he loves her, not for the babies sake. Leslie finds Brad disheveled and sloppy, and proceeds to straighten the apartment, stating that she can't respect him if he lets himself go. Realizing that neither Brad nor Les will make the first move, Laurie hurries things along by refusing to help Brad with his grooming, saying he should ask his wife. Then, having learned  that Brad offered Les the use of their piano, Laurie untunes the Brooks' piano forcing Leslie to accept his offer. By refusing to cater to his  blindness, Les manages to get Brad to stop wallowing in pity, and by the time Leslie’s Christmas braille message of her love and her need for him arrives, they are husband and wife again Lance takes Laurie on a business trip on New Year's Eve, and tells her, on board his plane, she won't be  won't be able to call him “Mr. All Talk and No action” after tonight. When Laurie protests that waited this long and will continue to wait until married, Lance delights her by instructing his pilot to land in Las Vegas, where they are married immediately.
    • Yeah, not sure why Jack and Jen didn’t rush to Marlena - or even Carrie - to offer their condolences. A few flashbacks would've been a nice touch too. Instead, we got a whole episode of them talking about Chad and Abby? Come on. On the bright side, I loved Anna’s scenes with Marlena and Carrie - sweet and heartfelt, felt like a real 80s throwback.
    • Martin and Smitty were designed to avoid the stereotype of gay men sleeping around (which to an extent is true). If you recall Martin had a line about them not being open when Chelsea came to talk to him. The producers are walking a very fine line right now and it might not be popular to say but I can understand it. Establishing enough footing to ward off complaints will let them showcase gay characters more openly later.
    • The week was decent. They have started to rotate their stories and finally got a rhythm going. I disagree about them allowing every character to have a moment to shine though. Nicole really hasn't been given anything to do. I completely agree with all this. I adore Doug and hope he makes it through.

    • There was the one appearance in '96, but otherwise, that's correct as far as I know.
    •   It's working fine now.

        Question for the B&B group: I see @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded multiple seasons from Videoland  (in the folders that are to be put away). They are huge folders and difficult to download so I started breaking them down into months but I realized they are by season so for example, Season 4 spans from March 1990 to March 1991. Now I'm wondering where to actually place them, since we have the Full Episodes section divided by year, not seasons. And most of these seasons we already have in full, so these are duplicates. Not sure if it's necessary to keep the older versions. I could just make another new section for Seasons, so the main folders would be "Behind the Scenes and Interviews," "Clips," "Full Episodes," "Full Seasons," "Music CDs," and "photo archive Marquise" but I'm not sure that really makes sense. Also wondering since we have almost every full episode now if "Clips" can be deleted in its entirety, as it's nearly 300GB.
    • CBS moving Murder, She Wrote from Sunday to Thursday was straight up sabotage. Les Moonves knew exactly what he was doing.
