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.

    • Yes, I am familiar with Fred Silverman. Agree, the 90 minute AW a very poor decision by Silverman. I think Silverman was behind the decision to go with Texas.
    • Thanks -- you're doing God's work The Gio reveal was everything I hoped for and more. GH got it right. Head to toe, GM is a stunning physical specimen.
    • I really wonder how they'll handle Netflix's usual long breaks between seasons. That girl is going to grow up fast... makes me wonder if this wouldn't have been a better fit for HBO Max considering they're leaning into a more broadcast style of production model with The Pitt.
    • I agree -- I didn't suspect Ted, either. I think a lot of people are giving themselves way too much credit in predicting Ted's problems

      And can I have a different take on Ted here? Yes, he's made a huge mistake with this Leslie debacle, and yes, he has to suffer and pay for it. But does that make Ted a terrible human being? I don't think it does. He made a horrific mistake over 2 decades ago, and as far as we know, he's been a good husband and father since. As far as we know, he hasn't strayed or violated his marriage since. He didn't know that he fathered another child, and thought he "removed" Leslie from his life. I won't blame Nicole if she doesn't forgive him, but I also won't blame her if she decides what they have and what they've had more than makes up for what he did. Ted is getting dragged far more than Bill is on these boards, and I think Bill is MUCH worse as a husband and father. How many times did he cheat on Dani during their marriage? How many times did he do vile things in his role as fixer? How much did he hurt his daughters by screwing their friend and marrying her? With Keith Robinson coming in as Ted, maybe we'll see a character change in direction and we'll discover that Ted has many flaws and always had a dark side. For now, though, I'm inclined to both be angry with Ted for hurting his family while also sympathizing with him. I know what you mean, but I do think that was intentional. So much was going on in that episode, and I think they decided not to let Nicole's reaction be lost in all that. Nicole will get those scenes that you're asking for.  
    • That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be. 
    • I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here. 
    • It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.
    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
