  1. Audra, for whatever reason, idolizes or at least respects that family. Victor especially. Which is one of the reasons I haven't warmed up to her much. Even if she hadn't signed an NDA, I doubt she'd come for them anyway. Nate & Sally didn't, they were wrongfully terminated and pretty much took it lying down too. That aside, I wish we'd seen Audra at least consider suing or trying to devise some payback before giving up. But I guess that would've taken time away from JG living out his cringe fantasy of banging a younger woman, with a woman his age embarrassing herself over him via Tucker Lily isn't a Newman, so the writers aren't going to let her fire people for personal reasons and that be the end of it. I hope I'm wrong and Heather & Daniel just piss off.....Because I'm not looking forward to watching a character get punished for something that the Newmans do with impunity. That's just more of the same bullshit that has ruined the show for me over the years.
  2. Well damn Lily really pulled the trigger 😳. Can't say it was hard to watch her do it though, even with the risk of lawsuit. I enjoyed it. If Lily gets sued for wrongful termination then Victoria and shitty parents better be next. I suppose there won't be a convenient NDA that Daniel & Heather signed so they'll have to stfu like Audra did after Drinki fired her. Nothing to say about Ashley & her 20 personalities other than I want it to be over since JG can't do it right. I didn't watch OLTL in it's heyday but what I did see in some of it's final years was still better than what is being done now. I don't doubt that the good beats the show did with Viki/Niki and later Jess/Tess DID disorders, was likely the doing of other writers with JG sprinkled in. As mentioned before, alters are supposed to be low-key there might be tics or habits that eventually give them away to one's that know them well & interact with them daily. But by that point the goal has been completed or mostly completed and the alter doesn't care about being discovered. Do we even know what the alter's goal is? Other than get Tucker's attention, which was done weeks ago? The OCD is already hard to take seriously(the needless handwringing part of it anyway) but why would the writers force all this, finally bring Connor onscreen just to ship him off again? That's not going to help the audience care about his OCD, serious or not. Also if Connor is at least happier at home it shouldn't matter that he's still showing symptoms. What he has isn't physical so he can be treated anywhere there is a decent therapist. He's gonna have symptoms any and everywhere, not sure why Chelsea doesn't get that but whatever...She needs to take her own advice, and accept Connor's illness in that respect first before tossing him to somewhere far from home....Again... Is it bad that I found her more annoying than Nostrils? He was definitely presumptuous as usual, but he was only parroting what Chelsea wanted like a good little prop. He was more of a dick to Lily & Devon in my humble opinion.
  3. Yeah this is gonna be a sweep and I'm glad 😂 Phylty & Summer
  4. Well sure on paper Lily is doing the right thing, but it's still fair to call her a coward/pushover imo. This show already asks us to suspend our beliefs on how corporate/office politics really work. Would Lily canning Daniel and Heather be unprofessional? Sure, it wouldn't be the first time a character was unprofessional & got away with it though. Nikki fired Audra for sympathizing with her snobby ass and didn't face any legal repercussions or pushback. Moreover, Nate got fired for trying to help Victor, who faked a whole illness, and Nate conveniently didn't sue for wrongful termination or sexual harassment (not that I believe he'd have the balls to do that to queen Victoria). I think Lily can fire Daniel & Heather for making the conscious decision to fuck her over, since they won't leave on their own. If they're as magnanimous as they pretend to be, I'm sure they'll take it with grace. But even if they kick up dust, Lily should not back down. Also unless Omegasphere is on the level of Nintendo, Epic Games, Sony, Microsoft's or WarnerBros gaming platforms, then I'd say they can almost certainly afford to dump it. (Replacing Daniel & keeping is an option too) It was a stupid concept born out of propping Chelsea's lame ass mental illness cure all game or whatever anyway. On that basis alone it can, and should go.
  5. After watching today, I agree but the way it happens just leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Which is surprising since, I don't even like this couple 😭 I guess underestimated the fact that I dislike Steffy much more or just dislike the idea that she gets away with being such a bullish, instigating, pain the ass much more. Either way, if Thope breaking up makes her happy or happens because of her yapping, then that's just about reason enough for me to spitefully begrudgingly "cheer" them on. Lol Well bucko, she's a woman. Women aren't people they're objects. They don't have wants unless men say so and men people decide what those wants are. It only matters what men and Steffy want. What show are you watching? 🤡 Yeah that's about where I'm at. Rebound from Lame angle, that's understandable, because Hope has done that before with Wyatt. But Thomas foolishly, haphazardly proposing twice after being told she didn't want to get married, and promptly gets rejected. That's not a Hope malfunction. But if he wants to walk away over that on his own then fine. But in trying to blame Hope, Steffy and Ridge make everything worse. Then Steffy encourages Thomas to take their son out of town (likely without telling Hope) the same son they share custody of because she doesn't cave to his proposal. Notice how Thomas pushing her to wear the necklace(saw that being brought up elsewhere) wasn't a deal-breaker but Hope saying "I love you, but no marriage right now." somehow is a deal-breaker...🙃
  6. I can take or leave March Madness but with that said, for me it was something to get more upset about when soaps were good or even just midly decent. Nowadays? To be completely honest....it's refreshing to be able to take 2 day break from awful, contrived writing without falling behind nearly a week on episodes. Found this on twitter(still a cesspool but this was funny) and to think it was posted before her dream episode lol
  7. Well.....shit.....I'm a little embarrassed to say that this week, Steffy is almost made me a Thope shipper out of sheer, unadulterated spite. If Thomas weren't acting like an aggy, impatient, borderline abusive jerk I would've already boarded the ship in the most petty way possible already. She was not being supportive to her brother, and said more to push him over the edge than Hope ever has. Rushing into marriage has pretty much never worked for Hope, and only an asshole would find fault in her trying something different for the first time in her adult life. In fact, seeing 2 rich women raised in L.A. put so much stock in marriage was always weird because I know southern, god-fearing christian women that approach marriage with more caution, or even straight up disdain believe it or not(with varying degrees of experience ofc). But at least Hope made sense considering she had the dark cloud of her mother's sins over her head, so her emotional maturity was stunted. Steffy OTOH has no excuse for this June Cleaver-esque nonsense, other than she just wants to be contrarian to Hope. Which is fine, but she should be getting dragged for that by everyone including Thomas. So yeah, I'm never buying that Steffy has such faith in the institution of marriage considering her own is a wreck now, she spent the 2010's marrying/remarrying Lame ass(with Bill tipping the scales in her favor). Now here she is shaming Hope for not marrying Thomas not even a year after her divorce? Fuck off. Hope knows karate so why she's only trying to slowly smack Steffy and not full on beat her ass in the previews is beyond me. I guess Bradley still wants to peddle Steffy as the baddest bitch to ever bad since NeNe Leakes. So she's too good/tough to take a few deserved licks for running her mouth. Awesome. 😒
  8. Whoever decided that Claire needed a dream episode to herself should be put under psychiatric evaluation. Claire definitely has the full of herself part of being a Newman down already. How does her presence prevent Cassie from dying? Claire would've been much younger than Cassie at the time & probably wouldn't have been aware that Cassie was grounded for lying to Nick & Sharon. She would've been home asleep with her parents by the time Cassie went to the party with Daniel that fateful night. Thus still tried to drive him home after he got drunk & had the same accident, and so on. Even if she did live, then Summer is out unless she accurately gathered that Nick is a dog that would end up cheating on Sharon anyway. Which is the only feasible thing about her dream, so I'll give her that one. But then Nick would have 5 or 6(if he adopted Mariah) onscreen children. Noah, Cassie, Summer, Faith, & Christian. If Jordan isn't dead maybe she can thin the herd of Newman offspring by killing Claire & one or two of Nick's offspring. And does she really think that she's so awesome that Abby & Summer can get along because she asked them nicely? We all know JG loves propping boring newbies & Newmans not named Adam, and Claire is both so I don't see her learning anything the hard way because that wouldn't appropriate for a spawn of Victoria's. On the very off chance that Claire is ever ostracized by the Newmans, Adam is the last person that should give a fuck. Considering how she acted towards him having legitimate concerns about her. What happened to understanding that redemption could takes time Claire? If the Newman's ever give her their ass to kiss, Adam should just be like "I told ya so bitch!" and keep walking. Yep, unless Victora cheated on Cole with J.T and Billy. Which given how wooden Cole is, wouldn't surprise or even bother me. But in truth, Claire is just like her mother. She doesn't give a damn about her younger siblings(beyond what they can do for her), and wants to be the exalted/main child. Nice dream Claire. You managed to make the Newmans look weirder & more classless than they usually do.
  9. I'm convinced Josh Griffith changed his mind at the last minute like he always does. Tucker went from trolling Ashley when she went to Paris, tracking her to "avoid" her, to being sick of her presence almost overnight. Now he'll probably be thrown under the villain bus again for Nate/Audra this time. Or perhaps JG really thinks months of Tucker/Ashley going back & forth about who said/did what with stupid flashbacks thrown in was good foreshadowing for Ashley's disease. 50/50 chance knowing him. Connor acting out and behaving this way for attention would be too good to be true. It'd be better than what we're getting for sure. I like the kid enough and the actor is good, so I think he could pull it off. But we're likely stuck with the OCD storyline. Funny enough even though I just criticized him for it, if JG wanted to change his mind halfway through a story this would be a good one to do it to. Which is why he won't 🙃. While Connor chose to leave for the school, Chelsea being self-absored & dropping "Johnny is your brother" bomb on him then trying to kill herself, surely influenced that choice. She knows this but still wants to feel better about it. Throwing Adam under the bus by projecting her failures onto him is a way to do that. Chelsea is one of Griffith's favorite pets so she won't be held accountable for being a trash, undependable parent. Which just makes this plot even more insufferable.
  10. Lol at the show on claiming Sally/Adam as a once in a lifetime love/fate etc. They're like "Please ignore the year we pushed Nick/Sally, down your throats! And peddled them as the end all be all!" "Please ignore that interview that CH did saying Nick/Sally should have an unshakable bond" "Lol our bad" 🤓 Even if we ignored canon, MG & CH broke up IRL & the chemistry has evaporated. Now for me, it dissipated last year, a bit before or maybe after Sally's miscarriage. Today, I just think it's hard to miss the lack of chemistry they have compared to two years ago. It feels forced, not Nick/Sally levels of forced but it's up there. Also, there is no way Tucker is Audra's great love. And on Ally's worse day shouldn't be compared to it. I know TSJ & ZS work well off each other but it's beginning to drag. Especially since JG couldn't decide if Audra was using him or not. I kinda wish she was. Tucker is suffering from the writing, and it's really starting to show. Now it's getting hard to care about him one way or the other. Audra would be better off without him, and I say this as someone who's pretty meh on her at best. I will admit I'm intrigued by Sally/Audra friendship. I wonder if Audra will ever go after Adam now that she's befriended Sally? They don't seem to like one another (please god let it stay that way) so hopefully not. But it would very soapy for Audra to ruin the only friendship she has, by betraying her friend down the line. Heather is really planning on showing her face around CW like nothing is wrong? And then her & Daniel are gonna put the onus on Lily to be "the bigger person" and not make things awkward(because sure this is all her fault) yeah hell no.....where's that lunatic Daisy? She's got some work to do. And by work, I mean terrorizing Daniel & Heather. Fuck those people. Hell no to Kyle & Claire. That might actually be the worse pairing idea yet....they have negative chemistry. Of all the Abbott/Newman pairings this one is the biggest dud. I don't think Claire is a catch at this time in her life, but whatever good qualities she might have are still too good for Kyle. I do think her being Harrison's nanny is cool. Not cool because her quickie, convenient redemption arc makes logical or legal sense. But cool because they're both cut from the same unnecessary, rectonned soap kid cloth. I look forward to fast forwarding them both! Ashley's rectonned alter ego has yet to have a name but I nominate the naming her Accurate for the way she described Abby. 😁
  11. Monday & Tuesday episodes: I gotta say this insta acceptance of Claire is not hitting at all. Not even just because of the obvious bias towards Nikki's spawn, in this case grand-spawn, but because I will continue to stand 10 toes on the fact that this show did not need another Newman character. Not even her potential relationship with Adam is enough to intrigue me. Though it looks like that potential was crushed anyway when Claire outright said that Adam is not like the other Newmans. Claire is not ever going to be seen as an outsider the way he(or even Abby) are, so they'd have nothing to bond over as, unlike him, she will always be accepted. I kinda saw Josh making Adam look punitive for asking the right questions and not rolling out the red carpet for Claire coming. And I also saw her taking offense, and getting pissy with him just like her mother, grandparents, and uncle coming too. Just not this soon but again, Claire is an unnecessary addition to the cast. Yes the actress is good, but good acting rarely saves awful writing. Case in point, Elieen Davidson and Ashley's ridiculous, plot-induced DID disorder that's turned her into a unhinged stalker. ED can act her ass off or not, either way no one wants to see that. Michelle Stafford plays narcissistic hot mess better than anything else. They should lean into that instead of trying to force her half-assed, practically non-existent "I've changed" crap down our throats. No you haven't changed bitch. Danny said to your face that he didn't feelings for you, and yet you insist that you didn't imagine the "connection" between you two. Now you can't change because it's too hard?? I guess if continuing your trash behavior, and still having your nonsense be entertained is hard, I can't imagine what onscreen community service, or better yet prison and your children actually cutting you off would've been like. These aren't the words of a changed woman. Fuck off. ButtBiscuit has gone unchecked almost as long as Phylty or anyone else. I hate it for him that he was used to prop his rapist & her son that's none of his business. Instead of being involved with his own children who have a new sister, but he's still a self-righteous, jealous tool. He's gotten away with plenty, Summer revenge sex, trying to kill Adam, & being a petty/arrogant fuck up in general to name a few. So to that end, I have no problem with Chance sending that same energy back to his ass. Fine by me if Devon & Nate keep it going too, they might become tolerable again in the process. All I can say for Wednesdays ep is that Daniel sucks, Heather sucks, Lucy is on her way to being a nuisance. I guess nuisance is the best we can hope for her since she has Phyllis & Sheila Carter for grandmothers, a psycho bio mom, douchebag dad, and snake for an adoptive mother.
  12. Chelsea.....Adam is Connor's father. Normally, I'm not the "blood is thicker than water" kind of person but in this instance if useless, air depriving via his nostrils fuckboy can't do the bare minimum of keeping his unasked for opinions/comments to himself then he's the only one that needs to stay behind. Not both him and Adam. Also, this bitch was 2 seconds from ending her life last year....so why is she being propped as the semi-rational parent while Adam is hand-wringing, and being treated like wanting a second opinion is so out there? I can't even take 4 more days of this shit, let alone 4 years. Please someone fire Josh Griffith.
