OMG............is this how the new regime plan to increase ratings?
putting on Boretoria practically everyday?
I personally don't even remember any other character being on for so long non-stop.
I dont know, during the MAB era, Victurd was featured just about everyday until EB went on vacation.
so, I guessing now that this new regime have a fondness for Boretoria like MAB had for Victurd.

If that wasn't enough for you, there's more of her next week. Probably every day again and her dumbass spawn is back too. Looks like DickSea is going to be one very damn day too now :shithitfan:
That means Boretoria will be on for more than half the month of February.
I am betting the new regime is banking on the wrong character.

maybe, but she probably have tape scenes in the can.
so her going on vacation will only give us a two or three days reprieve.

If they want Boretoria to be a lead, they need to replace the actress. AH is not a lead.

I dont know, little Faith seems like a flip-flopper these days.
well she is a little kid and they tend to change their minds a lot.
so she might like DickSea for a minute, then she might not.
she will probably feel for them what she felt for the Plant.

I am hoping that HT quit, because seriously that's not a story that will garner her another Emmy.

Last we saw, Faith was demanding her daddy to cheer up her mommy. She's not going to like daddy tonguing down Auntie Chelsea on her turf.

I think they are writing her like the young Victoria who hated all of Victor's women and only wanted her parents together. Chelsea = Ashley

actually, that's a good idea to write Little Faith in that direction.
she will give Greasy-Dickolas women hell.
and of course, they will her behavior on Sharon.

Did anyone here understand what Philly were talking about? :rolleyes: I didn't. The way they showed their relationship in 2016 wasn't about self-destruction or just because they liked it.
Does any of their writers watch the show/watched it in 2016?
I totally understood what Phyllis was talking about. I never saw it as a "love story", I saw it as a passionate reaction to circumstances.

my understanding - Red was telling Billy that he has self-destructive patterns.
when things dont go his way, he will gamble, drink and have inappropriate sex.
Phyllis is right. That's who Billy has been for many years. He's briefly charming but it's not endearing to me.

What is the reason for him to self-destruct? The man is young, healthy, has money, job, children. And the way they write him right now he doesn't even know which woman he wants lol.
This is nothing new. He's been self-destructive for a long time. When this behavior is habitual, it doesn't need a logical reason -- it becomes his default reaction to whatever happens.

Yeah, we all interpret things differently. If we don't like something/someone we don't buy the story. That's our right. The show didn't show that the affair started because of self-loathing. There were no signs that they wanted to self-destruct back then when it started.

Well, he has an actual addiction to gambling and everyone on this damn show is sex-craved and borderline alcoholics. Let's be honest, half of the characters on canvas have done worse things than Billy in their heyday. It's not healthy but he's hardly the only one in Genoa City who has these self-destructive tendencies when things don't go well. I think the problem with Billy or with writing Billy is that no one takes the opportunity to write him as an actual adult for more than a week at a time. They other characters were allowed to grow and mature in a way that true to them. Billy doesn't get that treatment or at least he doesn't get to keep that treatment. The writers will always find some way to make Billy the loser Abbott son who just came back from boarding school even when he's 40 years old and has a family. Hell, even Kevin got to change and he was basically a serial killer in the making when he came on.

These past few weeks have been the worst for his character since early 2013. He's going back & forth between Victoria & Phyllis trying to get laid and he has completely loss any sense of purpose that he has had for the last 2 years. It's ridiculous and reductive.

I agree that each of us interprets things differently.

What I saw was Phyllis and Billy both feeling enraged about situations like Jack/Victor/Delia/Adam/Marco/rape/Victor, etc. And then having been unsuccessful in getting the revenge they wanted, and then having no place to put that energy, so it turned inward to self-destruction. That's always what *I* saw on my screen. I felt that they were drawn together because of that, and the passion was because they both felt the other understood the inner rage. It made sense to me on that level. I do think they were genuine friends who cared about each other but that's all I saw.

Phyllis said as much a few months ago (long before Sally), and I remember reading a post here where the poster was surprised at what she said. But I wasn't surprised at all.

When a rape victim feels powerless, she can sometimes turn her rage inward. Sad but true.

That's my take on it.
