I'll try to tell the story as basically I can do.
Steffy Forester, a rich beotich, meets a handsome doctor named Finn, and they get married.
They have a baby called Hayes, all is well, until Finn's estranged mother Sheila, shows up, and wishes to be part of the family, and she is rebuuffed by Steffy.
Sheila is determined to be part of her sons family, and comes up with a scheme, to have Steffy's alcholic step mother(Brooke), have a drink on New Years Eve, and all hell breaks loose.
Steffy finds out about Sheila's doings and confronts Sheila in an alley, and they get into a verbal fight.
They are both adamant in their positions about their family situation, there is no middle ground.
Sheila pulls out a gun to shoot Steffy and Finn suddenly shows up and is shot by his mother.
The irony being that both ladies with their animus towards each other, lost the person they most loved.
Mods pull if you wish.
LOL!!!!
Can’t believe you posted this.
The narration is hilarious š
Thnx
Doesn’t anyone dead in a soap opera eventually come back to life?
Not in the habit of watching soaps, or reading about them,
but this is sounding like the plot from DALLAS.
Back in the day, the only soap watched when possible was
GENERAL HOSPITAL during the Luke and Laura story line.
And then there was “SOAP” which aired in the evening broadcasts. Both DH and I followed this as best we could.
My favorite soap has always been The Young And The Relentless.
I got caught in too. Didn’t realize the commercial right before the show...Bang, bang, BOOM had meaning. Think one more person is going to get shot. Steffy is due to have a child in real life so she may be getting a hiatus for several months.
There’s too many characters on B&B that hardly get any airtime. Bill Spencer has barely been on in months, ditto Katie, his estranged wife. Wyatt Spencer is invisible, Flo hasn’t been on in a long time. Missing Forresters, too. Where is Rick ? Ridge, Jr ? Justin Barber, a storyline they just dropped after he betrayed Bill ? Quinn is largely missing, too.
Finn is a boring character and hardly has anything to do as well, so killing him off makes sense. His storyline effectively ended when he married Steffy. Stable, married couples on soaps are usually boring.
If Sheila doesn’t shoot Steffy on Monday’s ep (which would be overkill), they’re just going to have Steffy try to get Liam back for the umpteenth time (boring, Liam is such a flake).
"I never drink until sundown. That way you don't get to be a heel."
"Tough on the Eskimos," I said. "In the summertime anyway."
She watched me get my little flat bottle out. Then she went on: "His name was Sype - Wally Sype. He did it alone. And he wouldn't squawk about the stuff, not a peep. Then after fifteen long years they offered him a pardon, if he would loosen up with the loot. He gave up everything but the pearls."
Are you familiar with Tracy Melchior who plays “Kristen Forrester”? She and her family are friends of mine but I’ve never watched that show. Very conservative Christian actress.
This actor is the Liberty Biberty (Liberty Mutual) commercial guy.
1: (The) Guiding Light (1952-????)
2: As the World Turns (1956-????)
I spent the summer of 1959 living with my Grandmother. I worked as a railroad brakeman and was not home that often.
She kindly offered me free rent and a lot of food. She was a tremendously hard worker and a widow. I mowed the lawn, did odd jobs around the house and helped when I could re her chores. I would buy groceries if she made a list.
Every weekday, she watched those soaps.
I learned quickly, that we didn’t talk during either soup. She would talk during commercials. It was like going to church when the shows were on. Be quiet, listen and be ready to discuss what happened when the soaps were over. Often she would do dinner preps while watching the soaps.
She hated the tv broadcast news and loved the local news and local weather guy.
My granddad after his retirement would watch the soaps with her and would read the headlines and comics during the commercials when he was alive. They ate lunch during the soaps and discussed current news as well as the soaps. He was retired and only did custom carpentering for people he liked.
He told his daughters that he really liked those lunch hours, tv watching and discussions with his wife. Raising 5 kids and working 50-60 hours a week had not given them a lot of time together.
Years later after I was married, I found out that my wife’s grandmother and her friends were hooked on both shows. On Fridays, they would met at one of the widow’s homes for a lunch and some serious soap watching and discussions.
Apparently, my grandmother told her neighbors and friends not to come over when I was there nor to call her.
Now that my wife is fully retired, we understand how enjoyable it is to be with each other. We talk and enjoy our own internet sites and discuss what is happening locally, state wise, national and world wide as well as about our family. Our friends and family wait to call us in the early afternoon or early evening.
Our tv doesn’t come on until about 6:30 pm, and we mainly watch UK shows and a few of the CBS action shows. By nine we are usually in bed or heading there.
The Soaps have been an American addiction for decades.
JR did it.
If I were to watch this show, should I go back to the first episodes in 1987 so I know what is going on?
I haven’t watched a soap opera since Luke and Laura were a thing.
