I am sad to hear that Lester Holt is leaving his position as Nightly News Anchor. I have watched him for years and he is so fair, calm and professional...he is my "go to" broadcaster. I cant help but wonder if this is all part of Comcast's re-arranging people on their various networks.

I guess I am the only one, but I am getting a kick out of Galen's portrayal of "Arnold" :) Galen plays a good bad guy, lol. When he kissed Stephanie today & then she kneed him, I cracked up. I would imagine Galen and the various actresses laugh while filming these scenes. But, good for Stephanie for finally remembering "Arnold" from before.

I had my Kleenex out for this episode, I cried when Mrs. Hall was talking to the wounded young man who served with her son, and then I cried when the Telephone call came through & they all gathered around Mrs. Hall: They are a Family! And then the end was lovely with Jimmy's Birthday celebration(should he be a Farmer or a Vet?!)

I got a laugh out of Jackie's story about her getting criticism about her "RBF" so she had to put a post-it note on her computer to remind her to smile! And on a shallow note, Jackie's dress is fabulous with the Greek statues on it!

EJ & Belle(Dan&Martha) have such chemistry, it is fun to watch their scenes. But, their storyline is making me cringe...Belle knows what EJ is up to & she is going to get hurt but she doesnt seem to care. Same with EJ, he says he 'cares" for Belle but we know what he is up to. Oh Good Grief! Kristin has another vial of 'magic liquid"!

I rather enjoyed Dougie3 barging into the cabin, then seeing Holly in her sexy lingerie...and when he read the romantic poem to Holly...it was very sweet & romantic, I like the vibe between Dougie3& Holly. I think young Dougie will want to follow in his Grandfather Doug's footsteps & find true Romance. Totally opposite from romantic were FakeRafe's crude words & kisses on Belle(altho it made me laugh, Belle's face was so confused :) But, then Belle runs to EJ...rolling my eyes. I also liked the sweet moments between JJ & Gabi.

I saw Chevy Chase walking in right as the show closed out! I thought I had read that Chevy would Not show up...

Was that black/white movie AI generated?

The one show on CNN that I enjoy, is at 10pm, Abby Phillip & her round table...she always has interesting guests on, people I dont see all the time on other networks, she manages to keep everyone under control, she is a good moderator. Scott Jennings(who makes me want to scream), did have a good idea the other night: he said Abby should take her show on the road, go to various college campuses..I like that idea.

I enjoyed today's show, the sweet moments with Julie bonding with Dougie3, telling him stories about Doug & we got to see flashbacks of young Doug&Julie. And then the sweet moments of Maggie being a supportive Grandmother to Holly, being concerned about what she was planning to do, but not "preachy" about it, but was realistic. And then Steve & Kayla,(a favorite couple of mine), just loved Steve's surprise & him telling Stephanie about his early days with Kayla, and what a grreat flashback! Young Steve & Kayla were such a romantic couple. I always love the Family moments on this show, when things are brought back to reality. And the "New" Sophia seems much younger & more "soft" than the other Sophia, who had an edge to her which I liked. This Sophia is more like a very young Teen.

I read that article too, acting with babies & animals keeps the actors on their toes. All 5 babies are So cute! Tristin(Callum)said being around the babies made him feel 'broody", lol, which he said would make his girlfriend laugh.

Abe & Kate were getting hit with Lawsuits(altho I only knew of one from Bonnie), and were afraid of what that would mean for the show, so the Network bought it from them(and Kate & Abe now have Money), and offered members of the cast to move to Los Angeles as they were moving filming the show from Salem, but only Hattie (and Seth Burns) were interested in moving, everybody else has Family in Salem, yada yada. Even Leo was tempted to move, but he likes living in Salem & he does not want to leave Javi, but then Leo was told he was fired & the Network was hiring a new Head Writer(sound familiar?)

I got a big kick out of David Letterman's impromptu appearance on the Tonight Show last night! David was there to say "HI" to Paul Shaffer who is on Tonight Show filling in for The Roots.. then Dave & Jimmy proceeded to slap each other with Tortillas, LOL

I was LOL at Issac's Final Jeopardy answer :) I am rooting for Adriana because my daughter graduated from Purdue in W. Lafayette, IN.

And just like that, B&S is done! Seemed like a very abrupt ending. There were a few amusing moments, but overall, I did not care for this Storyline.
