I was surprised to see Justin in the previews. I figured he pulled an Ivy. I'm still perplexed by her visit. "Oh Liam, I love you more than cows love to chew cud!" *poof* She gone.

Those two have jobs at FC. They probably work remotely half the time anyway in Paris. They can stay a little while longer in LA and work remotely. Especially considering that they are both entitled. That was just a weirdly short visit. It feels like a lot of the story hasn't been shown, or actually happened. It's more of a head scratcher than a whodunnit. It kind of feels like at this point in the story they haven't quite decided in which direction they are going to go and how it's going to play out. But they have made it seem like Ploopy killed both men. Since we heard Tom insist to Ploopy that Luna was his daughter that is the only motive anyone could have. Sheila's little tiff with Tom was nothing major. She barked at him and he backed off. She proved to him that she was top dog and he knew his place. That's a red herring. Sheila being taken in for questioning is part of Sheila's Redemption Tour. When the real killer(s) is/are revealed someone is bound to apologize to her. She won't be doing any evil deeds for a while yet. Not during her Redemption Tour, which most likely will be playing in every major city around the globe. So settle in for a long ride. If it was two different killers, the problem with that is that both men were killed with the same drug in the same dosage. After Tom was killed and the news got out about his overdose, a second person could have used that same drug, but would they have used the same dosage? This really makes it seem like it could only be one killer. Who knew that Hollis found and read Tom's stash of letters? And who would care? Ploopy because she found her sugar daddy. Not Li because why would she care that Tom was Luna's bio dad? She would laugh in Ploopy's face and revel in telling $Bill. Why would Jack or Justin or anyone else give a rat's ass? Even Luna wouldn't have that much motive to pretend to be $Bill's daughter for the money considering that she is practically engaged to RJ, heir to the Forrester throne. And this is another drag of a story for $Bill. He needs better story. I will be so glad when Ploopy is revealed to be the killer and sent away forever. I have been team Li since Ploopy came on the scene. Although between all of this and Hope going through whatever it is she's going through, it has been must see tv for me, lol. But damn, they couldn't let it be too good of a week, they really had to stick it to us with a horrible scene of Finn and Stuffy's "love-making", if that's what it was supposed to be. I like them together as a couple, but it is so awful to see their clumsy unappealing scenes like that. Neither one of those actors can bring sensuality to the screen. And then there was Sludge pawing Brooke. I feel so bad for KKL having to be in scenes like that with him. That's all I can think when I see them. She tries to make it happen, but he ruins it. It's like an accident you might encounter - you look, but you don't want to see anything bad. And then, just to leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth, like sour milk, there was Liam.

With his hair growing long and that mustache he looks like he's going off to France to become one of the Three Musketeers. It sucked enough that they killed Tom, but now Hollis, too? It's too much. Both characters enriched the show. Is Deacon going to hold memorial services for them?

Did you notice that the last time we saw $Bill and Ploopy in his living room she was at least a foot and a half taller than usual. I think they had her stand on a box of oranges so it would look less like he was hugging a starving war orphan who hadn't reached puberty and finished growing yet.

Well, proposal number three came faster than I expected. RE the previews - can't wait to see what made Sheila scream like that. What or who was on the floor behind the bar?

So we’re all agreed, Katie is Ploopy’s next victim . Do they dress RJ stupid on purpose? I didn’t think you could get toddler outfits in his size. Anyone,”hey Bill here’s something shiny.” Bill, “it’s the love of my life!”

I think that's half of it. I also think it's his last ditch effort to get Hope to marry him. Well, maybe not his last ditch effort. If this ploy doesn't work, then at least he's left with a wife, while he works on his next plot to get Hope to marry him.

I am grateful that the spoiler I read that said that Thomas would be returning with a new love, Amber, wasn't true. Having it just be two-faced Paris, while disappointing to see her again, was quite a relief.

That wasn't just any ordinary flashback. That was a flash-prequel! I love it when this show brings the comedy. And by the way, that was actually two of Steffy's wigs - one on his head and one on his face. While I do believe that Ploopy murdered Tom, intentionally, I am willing to entertain the thought that perhaps more than one of those music loving patrons drugged him. Didn't they have any Narcan at the hospital?

Thomas is smooth. He's going to manipulate Hope into saying she wants to marry him. Then it's ta-ta Paris! Or is it, ha-ha delusional Paris. I don't know about Hope, but I sure need another Douglas fix. He is still adorable. And Thomas is using his son, again.

I thought she was crying because she never killed anyone before, or else she always cries after she kills someone. Again, I feel like I missed at least one episode. I didn't see Sheila administering CPR. In fact, I never would have guessed that Tom died in between yesterday and today's episodes.

I felt like I missed an episode or five. Jack - I didn't even recognize him at first. So all of a sudden he's back AND hanging out where Sheila works? And Li, she was there to see Tom perform? Really? She must have really wanted to see the show to go to where she had to know she'd see Sheila. And when Tom collapsed she just sat there. I was expecting someone to yell, is there a doctor in the house? (I don't remember, is Jack a doctor too or a lawyer?) And then there's Justin. Justin! All of a sudden he's back and looking very suspicious. And he was there to see Tom play? Really? He didn't look like he was enjoying the show. Li didn't look like she was enjoying the show. Jack didn't look like he was enjoying the show. But Sheila - she was singing along to that cliche of a song!!! She knew the words. And where was Luna-tictac? I thought she was going to be there. But instead she had an evening meeting? Isn't she still an intern? And from what I've just read here - Tom died? That's disappointing. He was a fun addition to the cast. Are you guys sure he died? Can't Li revive him long enough to get something transplanted from his bio-daughter who would be his only match? And will we ever see Jack and Justin again? Or did they come to town just to kiss Liam?

Well, if you got a kick out of "Ploppy", get ready for another one. I've moved on to "Ploopy". It was a typo that just seemed to fit. That scene always feels like it could have been from a John Waters flick. While I don't like Katie and Bill together, I do flove HT and DD together. They have great chemistry and elevate the show whenever they share scenes. So yeah, I was wondering, too, if Tom was Luna's daddy. Now we know. It's in interesting story now. So what I'm wondering now is - who is going to spike Tom's blue sports drink? I vote for Ploopy to spike the drink and Sheila to get blamed for it. I can't wait for $Bill's wrath to rain down on Ploopy. That better happen. And I'm fine with this story to be drawn out for a bigger bang of a pay-off at the end. Heh heh heh.

Just ask Joe Piscopo.

Damian: I'll be on the next Greyhound bus!

I didn't notice Ploppy's wardrobe change, but I did notice that she is a major bish now. To start with, her, "I had him first" was so uncalled for. Her attitude and facial expressions to Katie make her out to be the gold digger that Li claims she is. As wrong as Katie's actions may be, Ploppy's are wronger. I am hoping that this is another undercover sting on $Bill's part, and that Li is in on it. They are bringing down the mint smuggler. Maybe even going through her to get to a bigger mint kingpin. And Katie will prevail since her spidey senses about Ploppy were right on. I just hope it's the next day soon so that we don't have to see CinderLuna in that awful white dress any longer.

I think you cracked the code. I think this is just what's going to play out.

She morphed into the Katie who faked a heart attack to stop her sister's wedding and slept with her niece's husband, breaking up their marriage and pulled a gun on Quinn and then blackmailed her.

Claire and Kyle have no chemistry and are both extra creepy together. I am so rooting for this couple. There really are no couples to root for here. I don't care about any of them. I don't even care enough to be against any couple or anyone. I was hoping to get something out of Tucker and Audra, but I couldn't muster up a care one way of the other. Too bad. I do agree that Mop and Cole need a get to know you date. Last time he was here he was with the real Victoria. Now he's opposite Cruella DeVille's bitter twin. That's gotta be hard on the actor. His speech pattern and way of speaking is so old school Y&R. What a nice reminiscence.

Now that Il Giardino has a delivery person, a homeless-wino-ordained minister-space alien-bear befriender of a delivery person, Steffy never has to send Finn to fetch pizza there again. I wonder if we'll see Tom delivering to Steffy's, and perhaps spilling some beans as a plot point in the future.

I don't know. They're probably both bottoms. I mean, Steffy.

Yeah, something is not right. I keep thinking back to when $Bill was with Sheila.

According to Google, Luna was the most popular girl dog name of 2023. Either some dope is giving the new characters pet names, or they are making a statement about the characters by giving them girl dog names. I wonder which? Neither choice is really a great option.

What I did get a kick out of was seeing "Finn" and "Sheila" sitting next to each other at the awards show. I think seating arrangements like that are intentional. And humorous.

Well, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins is estimated to have between 57 and 75 illegitimate children, 33 of which have been identified. $Bill has some catching up to do. I just don't think that the Ploppy character and $Bill are a good fit period. And this new insta happy family is just nonsense. Your idea about Liam sounds like it would be interesting. And Wyatt sure needs to come back to town for this and have some opinion and feelings himself. And so does little Will, at least for the summer while school is out. So far there hasn't been anything interesting about this story line. And seriously, calling a woman "Poppy"? That was my grandfather's name and basically the name of everyone I've ever known's grandfather. Poppy = Grampy, Gramps, Grandfather, Granddad, Peepaw, etc. That would be interesting. I was thinking that it was Hope's fantasy since everything in it was focused on her. And it was out of the blue behavior for Finn. All we've seen from Finn is him loving his wife and him being a caring friend to Hope. He hasn't shown us anything yet that would make that scene a believable event.
