Your photobucket must be a scary, scary place.

Much better. (As long as I don't think about what's been done to them...)

It's sad that this is her least tragic wedding look yet.

Wait, what day are the Emmy's? I kind of hope they're planning on hijacking the Emmy stage and forcing everyone there to be their wedding guests. A girl can dream.

You know, ulkis, I was able to scroll quickly past in the other threads without hitting play on the videos, thus avoiding all the eye-gouging, traumatizing awful. But forcing that picture of Redrum MyKill on us like that? Too far.

I'm just going to tell myself that Thighbolt bought him an engagement ring, too. I refuse to believe their wedding wouldn't be some tacky spectacle.

I mean, isn't every day Horrible People Day? That's all this show has any more.

I can't believe I forgot to mention Julian's hair earlier. What the fuck is on his head? I refuse to believe that a professional (or anyone who has ever seen hair before) was responsible for that.

I'll be honest, I laughed at Ava's "you said talking about Morgan was off limits." I mean, how does one handle polite social conversation with Mom after you find out she was banging your boyfriend while pretending to be your aunt? And then we got NuJoss and Morgan doing a commercial for the Marvel universe movies. But I'm calling bullshit on Michael being the brother Joss needs to explain movies to. You just know Morgan's the guy in the theater going "who's that?" a dozen or so times throughout the movie.

I think the part where his health comes into play is that she's moved the retirement up. She was supposed to retire later this year.

Until a few months from now when someone in the writer's room gets bored and says "hey, weren't we going to do Maxie/Dillon?"

You mean outside of morbid "how bad are they willing to make this?" curiosity?

Has anyone else caught the most recent Quinn/Liam/Steffy/Wyatt promo? I could swear the wording about the Steffy/Wyatt wedding was something to the effect of "will her future be in jeopardy because of her past?" So are they really trying to portray this as Steffy and Wyatt are this genuine, deeply in love couple, and not a rebound?

I can imagine how that decision went "well, who hasn't been on screen much, so it won't stick out that they have literally never mentioned losing their money to Rebecca Budig's father? That old guy who had a thing for Laura? You know, Franco's dad? And people will, naturally, be up in arms, because everyone loves Franco!"

Am I the only one who wonders if that's a recast? Maybe they're recasting Ivy for some reason? If it's a new role, I hope she's for Wyatt. Let's get him off the Liam's leftovers merry go round.

If it was about TJ, it would just be to glorify the mob life all over again.

I just imagined Quinn wearing Steffy's various wedding ensembles and saying "cha cha cha" over and over again, and, I won't lie, I laughed.

If this show was being written by someone competent who takes time to build up a story instead of rushing in head first and slapping shit together the second they get a new idea, we could have had some build up to someone in town having lost money to Rebecca Budig's father. Or someone in town worked with him and ended up in legal trouble. Like you say, it's not necessary for her to be related to anyone in town, but she should be tied to someone for her reveal to make any sense. I mean, if I befriend someone who is new in town and, months down the road, I find out that she's been lying about her name because her father bilked investors and she wanted to get away from the shame of it all, it's not going to be a blip on my radar. But, if I find out that she's lying and, oh yeah, one of the people her father bilked was my grandmother who ended up losing her home, or, oh that guy my brother worked for who bilked people and left him holding the bag and now he's doing time, then it's going to be more of a meaningful reveal. But this show does everything so half-ass slapped together, making it up as they go along, so there was literally no set up for what the actual reveal was. They did a lot of "who is she really?" stuff, but they never planted a single seed to make the reveal mean anything. If I had to guess, they didn't even know who they were really going to make her until about 5 minutes before they wrote the reveal scene. Much like the Fluke shit, they probably changed it multiple times as they went along, for whatever reasons. And, much like the Fluke shit, it just ended up being annoying instead of compelling. I applaud your optimism, but there are two options here: 1), they're not, or, 2) they are, but they're not going anywhere good. It's probably Alfred. I hope the poor guy's getting hazard pay.

He had so much promise. It seems like anyone with any promise ends up getting sacrificed at the altar of the Moobster. I don't get it. He went from kind of interesting veteran with PTSD who wanted to be a teacher to the world's most inept hitman with no real explanation as to why.

Oh, he can't.

I don't think he was pissed at Liz for enjoying the Britt reveal so much as he was pissed because, really, the reveal wasn't shit Britt was doing to him, and now he was going to lose his fuck buddy. I never thought he really gave a shit that Britt screwed over his sister. He's just not that deep anymore. With the Rebecca Budig reveal, though, he has already been suspicious of her, so he was ready to hear that she was lying to him. And the Britt reveal was so public, so it was more embarrassing for him.

I honestly wonder how much of what we see on this show is really Nattie vs. she's just willing to do whatever the show wants her to do. Because it seems like, when she's not part of some "wacky Nattie!!!" story, she's pretty normal. We've seen her be pretty reasonable and mature in offering advice to the other girls. I think that, for whatever reason, they're asking her to dial it up to 1,000 when they do stories focused on her, and she's doing it. How long has Nikki been with John? I mean, when you say "I want to work out with John to rehab because he always comes back early," do you not have even the slightest idea that the reason for that is that he's extremely hardcore and disciplined in his rehab? She's seen him go through it, she has to have at least an inkling of what he's like when he rehabs. This shouldn't have been a surprise to her. If she wanted to get the kind of results he gets, she should have known it wasn't going to be easy.

Take this with a grain of salt, but my husband said he saw a rumor that Daniel has some health issue. The rumor also said that Brie would be retiring after WM to be home with him.

I think Spencer was on his way to serial killer well before even losing Britt as mother figure. That kid's messed up. I can easily picture him becoming one of those rich frat boys who "charms" people into trusting him and then offs them. The kid's a mixture of Cassadine and Corinthos. He was always destined to kill people.

Is there anyone in the US who doesn't have at least one orange Boehner joke in their arsenal? I agree. I know some Republican leaning people who are as genuinely horrified as Graham seems to be. And I feel for them, because, while I don't agree with their stances on some policy issues, they're not for the over the top mess the party has become. Heck, I didn't think my father would ever not vote Republican, but he voted in the Dem primary this year (for Bernie), and he flat out refuses to cast a vote for either Drumpf or Cruz. I may actually be able to convince him to vote for Hillary if she gets the nom (that will take work, but I'll have a few months to work on him), but, at minimum, he's not voting for the GOP, which is a huge deal for him. I kind of like that Graham has endorsed Cruz, but not in any way that Cruz can really use it. He's on the record, both before and after the endorsement, as calling Cruz a poison (among other things). If Cruz were to dare use that endorsement in any meaningful way in either the primary race or a general election, it could be immediately countered by a clip from this episode. Not that I think that an endorsement from Graham is going to hold a lot of water with most voters (hence the reason he was one of the early drop outs from the clown car), but I just like that he basically said "fine, I'll be a good little soldier and endorse your new preferred candidate, but I'm going to make it damn clear that I think he'd be a real shit in the job...and in life in general." Bill Maher's already done it, but I look forward to Trevor and Larry covering Cruz's essentially saying "I fuck rats." Nobody could have ever dreamed up the WTF that is this campaign season.
