I know I'm in the minority, but I liked the fantasy scenes. I really felt they were doing foreshadowing of where their storyline will be going.

You mean the stalled triangle? ;P But seriously...I'm starting to worry that they might actually be stalling Hayley's storyline now. If we have to wait until November Sweeps even I will lose it. There are too many people suspicious of her for me to believe someone won't do anything about it. With Kat on the case and AA recurring, I hope that will be sooner rather than later...with Tomas dead of course as the man who knows too much. Given Liberty's tea about AA's filming schedule, it might be November though. :(

I think the show was unprepared for Andre/Dani taking off and are unsure how to proceed with them. Although if the writers actually valued their male characters, they would explore Andre's backstory and fear of being in pictures as a nice summer/fall story.

The show needs to know that sweeps aren't a thing and they can have climaxes happen at other times of the year.

I looked at a summery of episodes from 120 to 150. I was so surprised at everything going on from Chelsea's kidnapping wrapping up to Eva/Tomas hooking up to Kat finding out to Derek starting to get feeling his legs back to him withholding it to Doug 'dying' to Vanessa and Joey hooking up.

All within 30 episodes and staggered. Now it's as of the show is on blood pressure medicine and this past week was the show running out of its supply so it got heated up.

The funeral program says Monday May 25 (which happens to be Memorial Day).
But actual TVListings show Monday May 25 as
a one-day repeat of the BTS episode "Inside Fairmont Crest" that first aired January 19, 2026 on M.L.King Day.
(link to BTS episode description).

The actual spoilers for the rest of that week will be posted on the spoiler thread when they're officially released.

I look forward to your posts every day! Even though I usually read them before I get home to watch the episode at dinner time. A little teaser is always nice!

Thank you so much. I appreciate it.

Them and SOME in the audience. The potential was always there since Chelesa did her diva hair toss for some of us. ;) I was happy that they got a clue right before Winterfest and really was building the Bill/Dani/Andre triangle finally. And that goes back to my every-two-month post about Bill's investigation because I don't remember him cancelling it in the scene where the investigator asked if he wanted him to stop or keep digging into the year before Andre returned to Fairmont Crest because the investigator said Andre had something happen then. Bill told him to keep going. I'm sure. But...crickets when I ask on the board. So shrugs

They should let it play out organically. Since Dani and Andre do talk about everything good and bad, let them continue to do so since that is part of the reason their pairing won over the audience. Let something naturally comes up so they can have drama. And no, it's NOT Andre being insecure...cuz they have dealt with that. If it must be brought back up, find an organic way to do so and not out of the blue...something I called them out on. No, it's not Dani's pull to Bill. They talked that out, too. So her running to him after setting boundaries out of the blue...was also something I called the writers out on. You can do the Bill/Dani pull and have it be organic. That's what they did when Bill was dealing with his stroke...and it was completely organic. Bill hounding after Dani these days has been organic as well. And none of it felt out of character like what I mentioned above.

You made a good mention about that the other day...and I WILL be getting back to it when I have more time this weekend. I feel you were always right and the plot structure we had that worked was Guza being the Co-Writer to MVJ's ideas and it showing vs what we have with Tracey as Co-Writer. We of GH know how Guza can be when it comes to plot and events. The prime example being Doug/Vanessa/Joey which was clearly Guza's baby and in line with how he writes and plots...and IMO the best organic B plot we had last year. And that period of time you mentioned as he was leaving proves it as well.

The ending seemed more like a fantasy of Deanna's. I dont think Doug was actually in the scene but this means he will be back soon

Wish she and Derek had died together.

I was praying to the Lord above that Ashley would accompany Derek to the warehouse on that fateful night, and they'd take Tomas with them as their legal counsel. 😅

After viewing the episode, I have a feeling he could all be in Deanna's mind. There was a tv movie from the early 00s starring Jenna Elfman where she was accused of stalking someone while you saw her talking to another woman on and off throughout the movie. The very end of the movie revealed that the other woman never existed, it was all a figment of Jenna Elfman's characters mind.

And here is the thing, perhaps Doug is in Deanna's mind... and once that's revealed and dealt with.. Doug ends up being alive.

That might have been a fantasy of Deanna's, but the part of me wants to stretch and say that Joey hired a Doug look-a-like to make Deanna seem crazy so Vanessa can lock her up.

What a shame if he is just a fantasy (and he more than likely is). He looks so fresh, shiny, and new. Very nice.

Maybe had he cornered Deanna outside where they were alone but this guy is freely walking around that country club where other people would have recognized him. I mean you cant get in there without membership and people know Doug's face. I definitely think this is a fantasy bc he's not trying to be discreet
