With Gloria gone and Lois going home to Bensonhurst, I'm just afraid they will backburner this until May/November sweeps. Though 5 or 6 weeks of seething and stewing might be tolerable, there currently aren't many stakes for fallout story right now. (I assume they would want some but you know how that goes.)

I don't necessarily hate the idea but is there really a large enough audience for it?

I'm out too. The gaslighting is just too much for me. Carter is easily the worst partner ever and Brooke needs to be deprogrammed asap. But they pale next to Steffy. It was fun coming back for the Finn/Luna reveal but this show... I'm mainly mad at myself for coming back. Unless there is twist coming in the next day or so (like Carter refusing to file updated paperwork) I'm not sure what could salvage it. But at least I can reclaim my dvr space. 🙂

The stupidity of all things legal on this show is really ruining it for me. The sheer laziness of ignoring a 2 minute Google search - the implied condescension that none of us are smart enough to even notice burns. There's a good chance that Martin's fee hasn't even cleared the bank yet. Sonny's been in the house days, not months. Alimony is mainly monitored at the federal level by the IRS and would include garnishments and processes like that long before prosecution. Now child support in arrears might eventually lead to some sort of inter-state prosecution but the writers have never mentioned any kids for Martin. Ugh. I feel like I lose brain cells watching this show. (Note: I am not a lawyer but this was just me googling on a commercial break. I really hate them some days.) Otoh, at least BLQ was smart enough to realize her anger at Lois and Gloria made her a hypocrite for not telling Chase that Dante was the guy.

Right? That made no sense. It almost seemed petulant or jealous with Luna going on and on, calling Finn "dad" multiple times.

This makes sense. Those of us who are older remember J. Edgar Hoover was once one of the most feared men on the planet but now he's just an old joke about cross dressing that younger audiences don't even really get.

I am reminded again today of how good (and bad) TG was for daytime. Over on DAYS, Sami and EJ's adult son is just finding out he was a child of rape. And while it's watchable by today's standards, it doesn't compare to young Lucky flaming his parents over the past. I don't think Luke's character ever really recovered. Not that it bothered Geary, from what's been said, but it always bothered me. I like my mostly redeemed characters to stay mostly redeemed. 🙂

They've (Republicans) already given away their power, haven't they?

I'm not a Schumer fan but honestly, I kinda felt sorry for him last night. He looked defeated. He had some good points about the various moves Trump/Musk could make with the government shut down. The one that resonated with me was the courts being shut down. It's been awhile since the last shutdown so I don't remember exactly how the courts were affected but we need them operating at full force. And he did point out once the government is shut down, how would it end? If Trump likes the non-essential federal employees being furloughed, what would motivate the ruling Rs to come back to the bargaining table to reopen the government? They win either way. Schumer looked as sick as I feel.

The whole mother conversation baffled me. Harmony had Holly beat in the awfulness department. (Imo, anyway, con woman rates slightly better than cult recruiter.)

I thought I must be the only one. I've spent the last couple of days wondering if it was accidental or if someone in the wardrobe department has a sense of humor. Hope's dress, otoh, someone in Wardrobe must hate her.

He can be cute, though he can also be smug and/or spoiled. At least he doesn't sing or write songs.

I vote for Willow's DID name(s) to be tree varieties. At least that would be self-limiting, right? Let's see... Olive, Cherry, Silver (Aspen, Birch) - any others? Eta: I take back wanting Lulu to wake up. I'd forgotten that the way she was written was one of the reasons I stopped watching for years.

I kept expecting a long hook, like the old vaudeville days.

I was only 13 when Kent State happened but it was traumatic for students everywhere, I think. (I had a lot of older cousins though. And was taking some advanced classes, so I was probably more exposed.) Ohio - the photo montage is pretty much how I remember it. The idea that it could happen again makes me sick to my stomach.
