Things That Make Ya Go Hmm…

Oh, it’s been quite a week on Young & Restless, Bold & Beautiful, Beyond the Gates, Days of Our Lives and General Hospital, hasn’t it? Now Soaps.com is asking the tough questions about what happened, from “Should anyplace besides a snowball stand be this cold?” to “Did we miss a love scene, or did they just not tape one?”

#Clueless

How ironic was it for Young & Restless to have Phyllis going on and on to Cane about how Newman was “irreversibly” theirs… when they’d just stolen it from Victor, who is bound to steal it back?

Maybe It Was an *Extra* Light Snack

Apparently, dining with Beyond the Gates’ Leslie is a great way to lose weight. How else to explain that both Jan and daughter Ashley didn’t touch their food, especially when we all know Orphey Gene’s has the best grub in town!

Look Away! Look Away!

If Bold & Beautiful’s R.J. really wants to keep his latest sketches under wraps — especially where his dad’s concerned — maybe he should work on them somewhere other than the main office?

He Urn’d It

So Days of Our Lives’ Stefano was cremated? Isn’t that awfully on the nose for The Phoenix? You know, the man named after the mythical bird that’s reborn from its own ashes!

Meanwhile, *Off* Screen…

General Hospital’s Lucas told Marco, “I love living with you. Coming home to you every night, waking up with you every morning.” So wouldn’t it be nice if we got to see some of this domestic bliss instead of everything revolving around Papa Sidwell?

Just Chillin’

Why are Young & Restless peeps sitting on a patio in Wisconsin in wintertime? Soaps.com editor Candi Young says, “I live in Canada and can assure everyone that this is not a thing.”

What? It’s a Very Private Booth

If Smitty’s source Max was so worried about being revealed as a snitch, should he and the Beyond the Gates journalist have met at the very public Uptown?

Lather, Rinse, Repeat a Lot

Anybody else laugh when Bold & Beautiful’s Sheila said to Deacon, “You already said that”? Get used to it, girl, because you’ll hear it again… and again.

‘That *Would* Have Been a Good Idea’

So Stefano’s bones fell out of his sarcophagus on Days of Our Lives, and Liam’s first thought was “I should bury them in the dirt”? Are we crazy, or would anyone else also just put them back in the sarcophagus?

Pressing ‘Paws’

We know General Hospital was just having Sonny and Justine engage in a little flirtatious wordplay, but didn’t their dialogue about dogfighting still make you hella uncomfortable?

Hair Ye, Hair Ye

New curling iron? Young & Restless stylists had a noticeably twisted Tuesday this week.

Bad for the Goose, Fine for the Gander?

Why is Bold & Beautiful‘s Ivy only going after Dylan? Why not confront Will as well? He had his hand on Dylan’s leg when she fell on his lap. He was sitting close to her and confiding in her by the fire, and he invited her to put on a suit and go for a swim. Why not tell the man who is in a relationship that what he was doing was not proper?

Playing Favorites

How does Days of Our Lives’ Julie pick and choose what family members to stick by? Back Nick through heinous crimes but throw Doug III out for theft. Back Jeremy no matter what but throw JJ out for questioning him. Huh?

Coma Chameleon

Given that to General Hospital’s newly awakened Nathan it’s still basically 2018 and he’s practically a newlywed, doesn’t it seem like he’s catching feelings for Lulu awfully quickly?

Play ‘Free Bird’!

Has “The Itsy Bitsy Spider” ever sounded as creepy as when Young & Restless‘ Mariah hummed it?

Those Were the Days

How fun was it to watch Beyond the Gates’ Dani and her mom flip through old photos — clearly from the personal collection of Anita’s portrayer, Tamara Tunie — while trying to decide on the matriarch’s new look?

Something Fishy’s Going On

Chopping lemons at the bar, we get. But doing seafood prep in the main dining room? Not so much. Plus, would Bold & Beautiful‘s Deacon even consider telling Sheila he was dumping her while she was holding a meat cleaver?

Hey, If the Home Works…

Doesn’t Vivian’s home in Alamainia bear an awfully big resemblance to Days of Our Lives’ Kiriakis mansion? No wonder she’s been so obsessed with taking it from Maggie!

Much Ado About Nothing

What, exactly, was the point of the blizzard on General Hospital? Laura told Josslyn there was almost no impact on the town, which was somewhat ironic given that in the real world, much of the country was dealing with the consequences of a similar weather occurence!

Maybe She’s Been Skiing?

As discussed on Reddit, Abby’s dark face make-up/self-tanner was so obvious in scenes, it took Young & Restless viewers right out of the moment. What the heck? Does this girl live in Wisconsin or not?!

New Heights of Obliviousness

Really, Beyond the Gates’ Kat? You’re going to call Eva insecure when you’ve done everything in your power to get her out of the lives of your family?

‘The Finest Price Chopper Had to Offer!’

Bold & Beautiful‘s Will is richer than all of us combined, and the best he could do by way of flowers for Electra was a bouquet he picked up at the grocery?

Consider the Belt Tightened

We know Days of Our Lives’ Dimitri cut off Gwen’s funds, but couldn’t EJ take pity on his poor business partner and give her at least a couple bucks for some coffee?

Freaky Friday… and Monday, Tuesday…

How far gone does General Hospital’s Willow have to be for even Nina — who drugged Drew and sicked a call girl on him — to be arching an eyebrow at her daughter’s custody tactics? Rhetorical question. Pretty damn far!

‘But You’re a *Nice* Two-Timer’

Young & Restless‘ Noah still hasn’t told Allie that he’s been cheating on her for ages? Sorry, but the show can have Sienna say as often as it likes what a “good guy” he is, that doesn’t make it so!

Well, Hello, Gorgeous!

Were you blown away by the new look Beyond the Gates’ Anita wound up rocking post-makeover?

Open-Door Policy

Obviously, Steffy’s front door was unlocked because… well, Bold & Beautiful. But shouldn’t Taylor have at least asked “Who’s there?” rather than just shouting for Deacon to come in?

You Catch More Flies With Honey, Honey

If Days of Our Lives‘ Dimitri really wants Leo back, wouldn’t it have been smarter of him to applaud his ex joining the ranks of Salem’s respectable citizens rather than mock it — and in robo-voice, no less?

Place Your Bets

Why is it that every time General Hospital has Kristina and Jacinda cross paths, we become surer that they’re going to be paired up? (Sorry, Michael.)

Neigh to This Nonsense

OK, we get it. Young & Restless’ Sienna grew up in L.A. in the big city… but did she really ask Claire which way you face when sitting on a horse?! Like, she never saw a photo of someone on horseback or watched a movie with someone on horseback? Come on.

When He Talks, People Listen

Watching Beyond the Gates’ Vernon offer Andre marital advice, didn’t you want the elder statesman to be your father-in-law… or at least personal mentor?

Too Cool for Rules

Bold & Beautiful’s Taylor destroyed a marriage she was supposedly helping save and got involved with her patient. Anybody have the number of the American Psychiatric Association? #AskingForAFriend
