We lost most of B&B in the NY market today, due to news interruption. Guessing we didn’t miss too much … Probably Steffy, Hope and Brooke repeating the same dialogue from the past 2 weeks, and a disinterested Ridge sleepwalking through his scenes, as usual. #BoldandBeautiful

#GH (the fallout of Sam’s death, Lulu’s return, Ric’s return) and #Days (farewell to Doug, so many vets returning) being *so* good & soapy lately, and #YR having its moments too (Ian & Jordan!), really shows how weak and deficient #BoldandBeautiful is these days …

Phyllis is, by far, the *worst* on any of the 4 soaps. And the ridiculously over-the-top scenery-chewing of her portrayer only makes it worse …

#Days was heartbreaking - and perfect - today. The emotional resonance of Doug’s death is a reminder of why soaps matter, and why we love “em! And how difficult must those scenes have been for SSH, with the blurry line between reel and real life. Your heart has to break for her. ❤️ #DaysofourLives

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head of how to enjoy the high points of B&B and not be driven insane by the bouts of repetitive dialogue and recycled story!

Yeah … you’re right … but I’m going to think positive and hope for the best this time! 🙏🤞

I’m liking that “60 Seasons” preview for #Days that’s running on Peacock. Lately, it comes up automatically after the show ends each day … and it looks like some fun, interesting, dramatic stuff coming up! #DaysofourLives

And, a week later, the DC-Chicago Capitol Limited would be replaced by the new Floridian, offering through service between Chicago and Florida via DC.

This seems as good a place to start as any …. Amtrak’s last photographable westbound Capitol Limited rolls through Gaithersburg, MD, at 5 PM on Nov 2, the day before the time change. The next day, this photo wouldn’t be possible as it would be past sundown.
