Let’s not forget the Taylor vs Brooke story. Can’t stand the new Taylor prancing around like a 20 yr.old, makes me sick and Ridge holding them both off like he’s some big trophy going to the winner, should be lower, and don’t get me started on old grandpa, he and Donna are ridiculous.

People hate on this show but as of late it has been bringing it. It packs a good punch into its 30 minutes. The only other I find better right now is days. Yandr has improved slightly but that wedding and it’s supposed 70s theme was a miss and I understand the music budget issues but we couldn’t license a couple of great disco hits from the era instead we got elevator disco. Good for bold and the beautiful

I’m never a fan of poor, entitled Steffy. In this case she knew Sheila was unhinged so the worse thing Steffy could do was pursue her, make demands and deny access to Finn and Hayes yet again causing Sheila to snap. She reminds me of how Carly.would act. Finn got caught in the line of fire. Blame Steffy. The rest of the cast did what you would expect them to do. But IMO it was Kimberlin playing her role that increased B&B numbers.

Exactly right. Steffy has never controlled her mouth and from the get go she was in Shiela’s face, even in the alley. It was her own big mouth that caused Sheila to try shooting her, getting Finn instead. Even after that she couldn’t shut up even to the point of telling Sheila to call 911. Hopefully she’s learned something from this, but I doubt it.l

You know Sheila will be back and not before too long either. It was too easy for someone as wicked as Sheila to just be carted out in handcuffs. And don’t forget…I’m still waiting for Lauren on Y&R to find out the woman she shot dead years ago wasn’t Sheila. That is one loose end that has to be tied up before we say goodbye to Sheila.

I see her kidnapping Hayes unless he has decided to wrap it up ! Where is Finns parents? They keep teasing us about another twist who knows but if we end up going back to the triangle of Hope Steffy and Liam then it will come back off DVR . The actors involved are even tire of that.

Finn’s adoptive mother is supposed to be keeping him alive somewhere, and Sheila will probably be admitted to a mental facility where she’ll escape and kidnap the baby.These are rumors, but sound very believable. I can’t see them putting her in maximum security without a trial.
Aside from that, I noticed Hope looked like she had a major makeover and her hair all highlighted. I like the fact that Brooke wasn’t all looking like a beautiful socialite but looking like someone whose been under so much stress.

Hi Violet I like KKL very much but we need to get past the triangle I’m way past These so called adults jumping back and forth it’s tough for me because I like Thorsten but he has never been Ridge to me. As for Brooke and Taylor still fighting over this guy it bugs me! Hope you are right b

That number will drop as it always does when they write out the magnificent Sheila.

Congrats! Brad may actually get B&B to overtake Y&R in the ratings game. The writing and performances by Kimberlin and Jacqueline make them front runners for next year’s Emmy awards. Kimberlin’s storyline has propelled this show as a must see each day. Now can’t wait for the Finn revelation that is sure to explode the canvas! CBS could be a real daytime powerhouse but they will have to address The Talk with its 1.6M viewers.

B&B was never my favorite but, I will.admit…when “they” pull out all the stops….the show is a runaway train you can’t look away from. Writing choices aside, the dramatic music, closeup shots, campy dialogue make for good soapy DRAMA.

Walt Willey Brings All My Children’s Jackson Montgomery to General Hospital

Look for another legal eagle character from a former ABC soap opera to pop up on General Hospital!

News today out of Soap Opera Digest has that none other than Walt Willey set to reprise his role as All My Children’s Jackson Montgomery on upcoming episodes of GH in July.

Willey played Erica Kane’s (Susan Lucci) love interest and the Pine Valley lawyer from 1987 through to till ABC’s cancellation of the series back in 2011.  The actor previously crossed-over to another soap opera in 1996, when he played Jack on ABC’s The City.

Taking to his Facebook account, Walt confirmed the news on his appearances on GH: “Hey Folks… Been sitting on this one for a while but now I’ve been given the clearance to announce that “Jackson Montgomery” is visiting Port Charles! I’ll be doing a few episodes of General Hospital, due to air mid July. So excited to reprise my character and see and work with old friends! I’ll keep you posted on any details. “Jackson” in Port Charles…who would have thought it? Let me, and ABC, know what you think about it!”

Could Jack’s sudden arrival in Port Charles have to do with the SEC and the trouble that Carly (Laura Wright) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) find themselves in?   Will AMC fans get to see Cameron Mathison and Willey share scenes together again?  Mathison played Ryan Lavery on the beloved former soap opera.

So, excited to see Walt on General Hospital? What do you think brings Jack to Port Charles? Weigh-in below and stay tuned.

DAYS Alum Jensen Ackles on ‘The Winchesters’ Inability to Find New Home is a Case of ‘Unfortunate Timing’

Former Supernatural, Big Sky, and Days of our Lives star, Jensen Ackles (ex-Dean, ex-Beau, ex-Eric) took to social media on Saturday when the news broke that his series, The Winchesters, in which he executive produced, has run out of options to find a new home.

The show which aired for one season on the CW was a prequel to Supernatural.   In an update, The Winchesters producing studio, Warner Bros, attempted to find another network or streaming partner to move forward with the series after its cancellation.

Now comes word that all avenues have been exhausted.  All this, even though a #SavetheWinchesters campaign led by Ackles, himself, was attempted to bring some attention and heat on the show.

Jensen expressed his ‘thanks’ to the viewers and cited the current WGA writer’s strike as one of the main contributing factors to making the search for a new home for the series extremely daunting.

Ackles shared: “To all of you who watched, followed, and supported this story, THANK YOU. And to all those who brought this show to life…I couldn’t be more proud of what we all did together. But as they say…timing is everything. With a massive Network shift coupled with an industry strike…welp…that’s some unfortunate timing. Sleep well dear  @WinchestersOnCW…until we meet again. Somewhere down the road.”

So, did you watch The Winchesters? Do you hope it can someday return? What did you think about the sentiments shared by Jensen Ackles? Comment below.
