Wow, a Deke sighting!

I thought Bradley had him hiding in the closet, never to be seen again.

I think (that's my personal take and I don't expect people to agree with it) Bradley used that Deke character to get a little bit of publicity and the "first gay male couple" articles around the internet. Of course exploiting a community (the gay community) who he hasn't given a f-ck about... Because yeah... A show based in LA with no gay males for 40 years... Lol... How not homophobic! So... using that same community for clicks and clout. Nothing more.

If he had any real plans for him, he wouldn't have paired him with a perv and a sociopath... (The half of that mesmerizing first gay male couple) And not only that but hint in dialogue that a gay man in the closet may become psychotic and dangerous because he is in the closet. It is a disturbingly ugly, absurd and outdated message that we should be way pass in 2025. But this degenerate show clearly isn't. And knowing who is behind the scenes... I'm not surprised.

Shame for their better sets and production values. It doesn't change absolutely anything, it makes the vile smell of garbage writing even stronger when you have everything else working to make a visually okay show.

I know, I really like Deke and HC is a find. We just need to see him more. We get pointless scenes of the Logan coven, lets see Deke instead

WTAF do they have Katherine Kelly Lang wearing? And Jennifer Gareis' tracks are very visible. Come on now. Raise the attention to detail.

Repost from the spoiler thread:

Dec 2023 - Eric is dying or not

Dec 2024 - Eric's stapler is being taken away by Carter

Dec 2025 - The Combo Remix! Eric's health is in question + Ridge wants to take away Eric's stapler

Dec 2026 - Eric does something or another to use up John McCook's guarantees for the year again.

Good on Daphne for standing her ground against Ridge when everyone else passively went along with his plan.

Absolute s**t writing (of course) but John McCook, as per usual, is doing outstanding.

Brooke and Ridge are completely insufferable, they bring out the worst in one another

And a Nitroglycerin pill tucked in Donna's g-string... just in case.

The show is telegraphing Eric & Katie leaving to create a startup fashion house but I don't know if there will be a follow through.

I love it that Ridge and Brooke spent about $75 on Eric's forced "retirement party." HILARIOUS😂

John McCook is chewing the scenery like nobody else 🤣

Brad is clearly on a mean streak because these characters are illogically acting hateful:

1. Katie being marginalized because of Lunacy now. OC when Lunacy was arrested after caging FC co-CEO + committing two murders while she was a FC intern - it was OK.

2. Bridge forcing Eric into retirement out of the blue - we're not talking about some business relationship - this Ridge's father and Steffy's grandfather and the father of two of Brooke's children. Really?

3. The omitted spouse at Lope wedding. And why wouldn't the invited spouse fight for their inclusion?

None of these make sense - not even #3.

The audience is willing to accept plot-based drama if it leads to compelling stories, but this stuff isn't even good.
