Steffy …

Oh Lord, Liam is like a goddamn broken record! Mr. doom and gloom. Also why was he at FC?? Btw no amount of flashbacks will erase the amount of times Liam dogged out Steffy! Did Sheila call Kelly her "granddaughter"...oh oh.. As tired as this Sheila/Steffy feud is, that was some good acting today with with JMw/KB. Best part of the episode:No RJ/Luna

I see Liam is sorely in need of that Steffequin 🤔

Like Jon Snow (GOT ref ) - I know nothing but here is my unsolicited speculation. SC is kinda dangling in the wind - I do agree, the writers got themselves into a corner. He is a strong actor but without Steffy or Hope what is his purpose? I think they were potentially planning on revisiting Steam, but the popularity of Sinn put a hard stop to it. I recall one of the soap sites social media asking who wanted Steam and a majority of the responses went from "no" to a "hell no". I think they put the nail in Steam with Steffy crawling and begging. Steffy spent how much time alone looking at that photo of her and Liam. Along comes Finn and Sinn is born and they gain a solid fanbase. Steffy's character has also grown with Finn , she has matured. Now we have Thope, I still think Thope was meant to probably be short term but they have also gained a solid fanbase even though their storyline is molasses paced and all over the place. Some may not want Hope with Thomas but they don't want her with Liam either. Hope is now evolving as a character. Liam has not been allowed to evolve and mature over time, his claim to fame is which woman he is dating and the TOD part deux. Now Steffy/Hope are entangled with other men and now tptb is stuck with (Sound of music reference) - How do you solve a problem like Liam- They need to give Liam a business based story and more scenes with his kids.

I’m flabbergasted at Liam. How many times will he tell Steffy to leave Finn before he realizes that his milkshake doesn’t bring all the girls to the yard anymore

RJ's sweater.... Imma leave that there....just marinate on that...

So I see Thope is now also on the obligatory propping of RJ/Luna. I hope that new drawing means a new line, I’m so sick and tired of HFTF and frankly it’s way past time for Hope to transition out of that line. I will forever 😒 the writers for making Thomas so evil when MA came back. He just works so well with AN. I’m sorry I find them too cute 🥰. We could’ve done without RJ walking in on his bro/sis making out. 🫤 RJ looks odd when he’s sketching. He has a terrible posture. Also while pocket sized Runa may fit on a couch, it don’t work or Thope. They’re on the taller side. ETA:Zende wtf ? Just let it be.

Soo..am I the only one who thinks Deacon just painted a target on Hope’s back which may come to fruition.

RJ really needs to stop scrunching up his face.

I was thinking - Poor RJ His brother and sister are f**king each other for the second time in his life. First was Steffy/Rick...

Poppy mints and Luna’s mints were in different shaped bottles. One was round and the other square. I do feel bad for Luna though. I keep going back to Hope’s sexual expression with Wyatt and Thomas which is/was a lot more free. Today would’ve been a good segway into a conversation about her first time. She was clearly uncomfortable talking about it when RJ brought it up. Would’ve even nice that she reflected on the impact of her disastrous first time with Liam after RJ left the room. Thomas has commented on how she has surprised him in that aspect enough times. That would’ve been better than repetitive conversations.

I would say today it's constant texting and not so much calling lol.

So I just binge watch’s season 1, I’ve never played the game so I know nothing. However I enjoyed it. Didn’t realize that Makee was show created, sorry to see her die. I was sure she would end up preggers with a super blessed one but alas she was just a plot device.

This Luna/Zende situation bothers my soul and yes the fact that he’s a black character getting thrown under the RJ bus during black history month irks me even though other characters have had the same treatment. Thinking back I’m realizing how many times this has happened Ridge/Caroline Sr - she thought he was Thorne Eric/Brooke - Bridget Ridge/Brooke - where he says “they needed this” blech Thomas/Caroline - Douglas I won’t be watching this week.

This will be misunderstanding night #4 or 5??? Awful story..

No offense but no amount of happy pills can make someone mistake Zende for RJ. They’re different race/ethnicities and RJ ain’t cute WTF is tptb smoking… I’m feeling a bit insulted - my intelligence that is.

They should let Thomas be Thomas, this new version needs his edge back. He’s not meant to be good, let him be gray. I need snarky Thomas who will tell Brooke about herself instead of the well controlled “I believe etc”. Hope can accept that he has a manipulative side and go from there. We’ve seen this type of pairing in soaps before. I mean it’s quite clear that Hope has drunk the Thomas cool-aid. Not that I mind since I love the pairing. Speaking of meetings wouldn’t it be nice to show the characters in these business meetings moving and shaking vs the repetitive dialogue. I’m more interested in that HFTF meeting than Eric’s party. Can we get someone trying to steal some fashions ? ETA: I’m thinking Luke and Laura from GH, Luke was always involved in some mess (usually illegal) and Laura generally knew what he was up to. 1993-96 they had stories not related to a triangle or cheating. They were just two very different people who loved each other until tptb blew them up in 1996 and retconned some of their history. Their conflicts were usually the consequences of Luke’s schemes on their family.

Finn is working and Steffy is sick and doesn’t want to pass on her cooties. Hope and Thomas have an all important HFTF meeting they just can’t miss which makes no sense if this is an evening party. I got all this from the recap by the way, I didn’t watch the show. No interest.

I’m here with you. I’m wondering if Finn is the daddy. Finn was in college when Poppy lived with them. Maybe Finn was altered and doesn’t remember and we have misunderstanding night #4???

Gawd I hope not. I am curious about those mints she and Poppy keep popping.

We’re back !! Missed you all .🤗 RJ is way too bulky for my taste, looks like someone who is juicing. He and Luna are awkward awkward awkward and that translated to their sex scenes. They need to recast. Loved all things Thomas and Hope except when he was pressuring her about the ring. It’s too much, time to let it go. He shouldn’t have proposed because it was too soon. My favorite line was Hope telling Thomas “I adore you”…it was a blink and you miss it but she said it, I know because I kept rewatching their scenes. Those two have chemistry for days and seem like a real couple. Very natural together. I also noted that their kissing doesn’t look so odd anymore, before it looked like fake kissing so I’m not sure what that was about. My favorite scene was when they were clearly just tired, Thomas just did a grunt/giggle he couldn’t even speak and Hope’s hair was mussed. That seemed realistic after a round of good old “collaboration”. Thomas isn’t operating solely on delusions though, not with Hope saying stuff like she’s never felt this way before and she can’t get enough of him. Her lips may not say ILY but her actions and body language do. Smiling and kissing him when he talks about their shared future is not the move if she’s not serious. I enjoyed the Ridge/Thomas and Hope/Brooke conversations and their follow up switcharoos. Brooke carrying on with the tears was a bit much. There’s a cute bonus scene with Thomas /Ridge discussing the engagement where Thomas asked Ridge if he was wasn’t concerned that he (Thomas ) has lost his mind and Ridge also ribbed Thomas about the unromantic proposal. He supported Thomas in the end. I was like go European Ridge. And clearly Thomas knows this proposal makes it seem like he’s off his rocker. Sex is back on and Thomas is going to be too exhausted keeping up with Hope’s libido to scheme about anything. Speaking of Hope and sex, did the writers intend to make a running joke out of Liam’s skills in the bedroom cuz … 👀 Steffy had some good points I have to say re Thope. Her hair looked terrible though. Looked like one of those plastic hair helmets. She and Finn are one the same page but for different reasons. So glad to be back.

😂 I looked that up and I see what you mean...AN does sing, she recently released a song. Yup Hope is most definitely dickmatized - one has to wonder wtf Liam has been doing all these years...😬 I would LOVE LOVE if they brought back Nick for Brooke!!

Flashbacks..hmm...who do we need to see stuff that happened within the past year. Flashbacks should be used when they add to the story and I prefer old flashbacks like, 10+ years ago which adds nostalgia. Thomas/Hope, scene started out awkward and ended 🥹.🥹.Even holding hands they have chemistry.. Hope has the perfect opportunity to break it off with Thomas, but 1. she's still wearing the ring and 2. She hasn't called it quits and he isn't manipulating, a bit pushy yes but no background machinations. Also - darn, these are some forgetful kids...at least it was books and not toys this time around. Methinks Finn is fine...

Maybe something happens to Steffy? Finn already “died” once.
