I'm out. Can't stand Brandi. Why do they even need a villain? I liked the first season of OC the best and that was before the villains took over. So done.

First off to all that have shared your stories, I am very sorry for what you have been through. It takes courage to talk about it and kudos to all. You have all made so many good points too and nobody understands these things as well as survivors of abuse. Your insight is invaluable. Cosby has inflicted pain on countless people. Not just the women he abused but all the people that love them also become victims. That is some evil shit right there. He really needs some consequences for his crimes.

Thanks for that link. Very interesting read. Notable that the overuse of antibiotics for Lyme can cause neurological side effects. Another thing with Yolanda that I have always worried about was all the vitamins and herbal meds she was taking. In my nursing experience I have seen serious side effects from these types of drugs. Usually cardiac in nature but the toxicity of taking so many different drugs can also be hard on the organs which process and filter them too. More isn't always better.

Boy does that bring back memories. Raise one for the "good ole days" when ignorance truly was bliss. As far as Yolanda I really don't know what to make of her. She certainly seems to have an agenda where her children are concerned.

Wow Steffy is a real piece of work. Quite the little manipulator that one. She was giving me creep vibes today. Ridge and Caroline's story is feeling dark and ugly. Where exactly are the writers going with this one?

I am enjoying the scenes of Ridge and Caroline. It is the best acting going on the soap right now IMO. I'm curious to see what they will do with this story. Common sense tells me it will blow up big time But for now I am just going to sit back and enjoy. I'm trying not to overthink it too much. I have only been watching this soap for around 1 1/2 years. I appreciate that many of you are long term fans and I understand where you are coming from cause I have that type of history with Y&R and holy moly that soap is off the rails. And now I have to shut up cause I am going off topic.

The enema fiasco was so fitting because this whole season has been a load of crap. The scene in the restaurant with Tamra, Shannon, and Heather was so fake. It felt like they were tying up loose ends and setting the stage for the reunion. Now the alliances have shifted and the 3 amigos are on the high ground. Only out for truth and justice and such good people cuz you know girl code and all of that too. Truth is this was Vickie's season to be the bitch and last season was Tamra's and so on and on it goes. Whose turn will it be next season? I feel I have once again been punked by Bravo. Edited for incorrect sentence structure. As in the words of Mama Dawn from Teen Mom 2, "that don't make no sense."

I remember that quote but not verbatim. Anyway I took it as he was saying to OJ that basically he was his own worst enemy. He was so bent on keeping money out of Goldman's hands that he stole the memorabilia rather than see the profit of said items going to Goldman's. OJ really seems to get off on sticking it to the Goldman's. Revenge seems to steer his actions. That and pure arrogance. I believe as someone earlier stated that he is a sociopath.

Thanks all about the feedback on the dialogue between Brooks and Tamra.

This makes sense because I am sure he said PET/CT scan when talking to Tamra. Unless I heard wrong but I don't think I did. I didn't record the episode so I can't go back to listen again.

There is a difference between a PET scan and a CT scan. Brooks had a CT scan. I don't know why he referred to it as both when talking to Tamra other than his own confusion over the two tests. I believe that CT scans are done at the imaging center. Please Bravo end this storyline. It is wrong on so many levels. I have to stop watching this show because I feel very strong about the privacy of patient's med records. That is why we have federal laws in place. The situation is making me angry and that is not why I started watching these ridiculous HWs.

I like the chemistry between TK and LG. However I do agree that the giggly LG we have been getting lately is not her best acting. I thought her breakdown over losing Ridge was believable and some of her better acting. She really sold me that she was hurting I haven't been watching this soap for as long as many of the posters here. But what I find strange is how some story lines move at lightening speed and others get drug out. This week has bored me to tears with all of Brooke's ominous talks with TK and LG. Last week I was all excited about a possible new fashion house and this week just zip on that story front.

I liked how Tamra was trying to take the heat off of Ryan by referring to him as grumpy. Being grumpy is the least of Ryan's character flaws. But yes Tamra let's label his asshole behavior as just being grumpy. Isn't Ryan just so adorable too. Not.

I gotta say I was disappointed today that Bill shot down the fashion house. Setting the plot holes aside, I was really looking forward to the drama it would bring. I like Caroline and Ridge together. Their chemistry works for me so now I am dreading the fallout of their secrets. So yeah, earlier this week, I had hope for some good story lines I could get behind and now I feel deflated. Big fat bummer. : ( And why oh why doesn't someone convince Steffy to lighten up on the makeup. It is way over the top and IMO not flattering at all. I just don't get it.

Thank you for this response. I am also a nurse. Regarding the stethoscope, it absolutely is a tool of our trade and needs to be close at hand. I sometimes wish there was a easier place to keep It because I have actually gotten a sore neck from having to wear it in this manner. This is after a 12 hour shift mind you but yes we need it handy. It is a grueling job but I love it and care greatly for the people I have cared for over the years. Peoples lives truly are in our hands and I take that fact very seriously, no matter what Joy may think about our tools of the trade. She obviously doesn't have a clue what we actually do on our jobs.

Kendall looks very pretty in above pics. I am getting a young Ali McGraw vibe facially.

These are some ugly clothes. Notice the extra long sleeves. Is this why Kim has been wearing her sleeves so long lately?

Oh I am not blaming it, just speculating. I don't know enough about the process to give anything but thoughts based on speculation.

I am getting a kick out of him too. He also makes for a great nemesis for Victor because he is not held back by the ethical restraints that Jack has. Of course I still love Jack. He is one of the main reasons I watch this show.

You make a good point about Steffy. These characters need to be fleshed out more. Too one dimensional. Maybe that isn't realistic on a half-hour soap but it would certainly be more interesting for the audience.

I didn't enjoy the show last night. Too much of Rocky and her ceiling eyes. She is exhausting to watch. Can you imagine trying to have a serious conversation with her? She is such a slacker on the job which leaves her workmates to pick up her jobs. But that's ok with her I guess. Kate was right about one thing. The Greek God Narcissus fits her well.

So many good points in this post. I will never understand the nonuse of actors who can actually act such as Quinn and Deacon. Y&R does the same thing. Good actors sitting on the back burners. I am actually interested in a rival fashion house despite the absurdity of it being unlikely. I just want to see Steffy and Liam get their comeuppance. Make it happen writers and give Quinn and Deacon an integral part of the story. It did seem like when Wyatt mentioned it, Bill had a twinkle in his eye. Plus Katie wants a new endeavor.

This is a great analysis. Sometimes I think I need to stop watching the HW shows because it all feels so manipulative. We are all (the viewing audience) pawns. But obviously I get something out of it as I continue to watch. I think part of it for me is the challenge of trying to see beyond what these ladies and Bravo put out there. That is why I love to read all these opinions. Just fascinating.

Yes I felt the chills through my tv. Yikes. Then throw in that comment about being just friends and not BFF's anymore. Even though Juliet kind of set herself up for that, it came off as mean.
