I already like Tyler more than Remy. Remy needs to go. There should be no logical reason Deke would take him back. He's completely against Sheila being able to get beyond her past, so why would he turn around and forget about Remy's? If they pursue with something between Deke and Tyler I hope it's more of a slow burn and not rushed. Yes, I know. All this show does is whiplash movements when it comes to romances, but I think it would be a positive thing if they didn't show gay men rushing right into sex.

-- Carter is so embarrassing. A woman just looks at him, and he gets on his knee and pulls out the ring.

-- Remy is more proof that a Daytime Emmy means nothing. Has the guy appeared in even 5 episodes since the Emmy win?

-- Knowing Brad Bell's track record, Remy will see Deke and Tyler together and become jealous -- reverting back to who he was with Electra. This show is on a run of psychos, you know.

-- As far as gay guys having sex, I'm fine with Deke and Tyler getting at it right away. These are young guys with raging hormones. It's 2026. The truth is that IRL they'd have sex before the weekend was over. I'm tired of the soaps being stuck in some fantasy romance that was big 50 years ago.

It's hilarious how Taylor, Deke and Hope accept that Deacon is a changed man even though he stalked/terrorized and shot at Quinn multiple times - his most recent crimes - and, yet, Sheila is nonredeemable.

One of the most frustrating aspects of B&B is that it's good/evil - there's no gray. Hope was good, until she betrayed the Forresters (Thomas and the takeover) and then she was pure evil, but now she's back to good.

B&B is like The Simpsons of soaps. B&B characters never grow, change or evolve - they are literally the same - even if there's a short-term diversion - they revert to form. It's unlike any other soap where we see characters evolve over time.

Oh and I do think RB/SK have great chemistry. While I would've preferred they simply created 'Aunt Taylee' for RB, she's actually made Taylor viable again.

Krista Allen would make gold out of Bradley's piss. And she also added humour to it. The role was so fresh when she played it. I feel sad even thinking about how we don't have her anymore. I am still not over it.

She suuuure did. Though I WILL give the writing soooome credit that they did her recasting very well. Made her look similar. Eaves her onto the canvas slowly in ways that made sense. And then gave her a story. Heck, what they are doing with Taylor and Deacon now started when she was in the role. And I'm still disappointed they didn't go there then. And I did vent about how I felt about them going there now though at least RB and SK have chemistry.

But yeah Krista was such a breath of fresh air.

The show is definitely on the upswing, by B&B standards of course, LOL. They are finally using different characters and moving story in other directions, instead of the rinse and repeat drivel we'd been getting for YEARS. Thank God it appears the Ridge/Brooke/Taylor or the Steffy/Liam/Hope/Finn merry go round has finally stopped.
