Ideas to increase the range of Hallmark movies

So many of these are second chance at love for thirty to forty year olds. Why not

*give us a main love story for people in their 50s or 60s

*give us a story featuring someone who has stayed single without finding love before, so the new relationship is a shock to them

*give us a story where it's the male love interest who has to change his dream and move to stay in the relationship

*give us a few sequels. I would like to see a followup to the Reluctant Royal, among others. Not a retread where the same couple has broken up and has to get back together, but the next chapter of their lives.

These would all still maintain the essence of the Hallmark movies, but would be a little different.

I am a Steffy fan, but...

we all remember how she verbally eviscerated Hope for kissing Finn. I sincerely hope Steffy and Carter BOTH get the verbal beat downs they deserve for what they're doing.

There is no excuse for this. None.

Carter is going to sleep with supposed best friend's DAUGHTER???

Ew. Ridge and Carter have done lengthy speeches over the years about being besties, and how they feel like brothers. Now Carter - who everyone claims is a man of honor - is going to break his wedding vows and have sex with his best friend's married daughter.

This rivals some of the garbage Brooke has pulled.

Silver versus Miyagi: watching the fight

I'm watching Karate Kid 3. Just passed the fight in the dojo between Miyagi, Silver, and Kreese.

When Pat Morita and Thomas Ian Griffith were face-to-face, it looked like TIG's legs were the length of Morita's entire body. That height difference alone should have made it almost impossible for Miyagi to so easily win the fight.

Fun to watch, but pretty unrealistic.

Prentiss and Doyle

I know we're not supposed to like Doyle, but good grief he and Prentiss had chemistry. No one will ever convince me she didn't have feelings for him, which muddled her ability to cleanly handle this case.

(I'm a huge fan of Timothy V. Murphy.)

The new youth line: Electricity

With it being centered around Electra - the show's new "It" girl - what else could they name it?

Electricity! The Conduit to Fashion's Future

A question for Electra...

She told Will an unequivocal NEVER. She's furious he spent time with Dylan a few days later. Someone needs to ask her how long was he supposed to wait? And WHY should he HAVE to wait? If Electra is done with him, then she shouldn't care what he does. She certainly shouldn't have a say about it.

Her indignation that he dared to move on is sickening. She just wanted him to pine for her forever.

Some people get to be violent while other aren't allowed

Brooke can slap Katie, throw things, and break monitors. Risge gets to hit Bill. And now Electra slaps Dylan while still playing the victim. yourself. RJ pushes Will and hits him.

But Will and Bill are branded violent and put of control? How does that work exactly.

Too bad Dylan has no witnesses. I would love to see her press charges against Electra.

How is Finn all that Sheila has?

Where are the rest of Sheila's children? Her bio lists the following:

Children: Daisy Carter, Mary Carter Warwick, Diana Carter, Ryder Callahan, John Finnegan

Maybe she should put some effort into finding some of them.

Samantha Malcolm - seqson 5 episode 12. I feel sorry for her

Samantha is one of the unsubs I end up feeling sorry for. She was abused, traumatized, and emotionally abandoned by the person who should have loved and protected her. Her own father destroyed her innocence and then her sanity.

Just horrifying and sad.

Thomas Gibson in episode 100

I don't care how you feel about him personally. I have watched 100 at least 15 times since it originally aired, and TG's embodiment of Hotch makes me cry every time.

Gibson should have been nominated for an EMMY for this episode for displaying such an incredible range of believable emotions.

Gut wrenching.

Dylan needs to be more than second choice

She deserves better.

The dialogue made it clear she and Will did NOT have sex. They talked until they fell asleep, and they were fully clothed when they woke up. So it isn't too late to change direction.

Age difference between damned. Try her with Wyatt.

Eric, RJ, and Electra at Bikini

I am catching up on last week's episodes.

Let me get this straight...after verbally trashing Logan and the line they just showed, Eric goes to Bikini: the bar owned by the father of the designer (Deke) Eric just insulted.

Does anyone think these things through at all?

Thomas Barrow was a pirate

I didn't realize the name of Thomas Barrow also belonged to a real pirate. List as part of the Pirate Golden Age, he is described as this:

**Pirate active in the Carribean. He is best known for proclaiming himself Governor of New Providence.**

Interesting! I wonder if that name was chosen on purpose.

Forrester has come to a standstill because of a singular other fashion house?

Does LA not have any other clothing or jewelry designers? Everything at Forrester has come to a grinding halt all because Logan launched ONE LINE.

Forrester used to have 2 lingerie lines (one for young women, one for older women,) the men's line, the couture line, and HFTF, as well as jewelry and fragrance. They even considered shoes at one point, although I don't think they ever followed through. (Rick ran the company then.)

Now they only concentrate on one line at a time, and freak out if another company dares to debut something.

It just goes to show how small everything has become on this show. No confident company would run scared like this over a little upstart, regardless of one of their former employees being there.

The problem with Electra...

She has ZERO range of emotions. She is either bubbly and happy or she's moping, crying, and has a constipation face.

If she feels betrayed, why is there no anger? Where is the passion? The fire when something interests her?

She is so weak and vapid. There's just nothing to her.

What of Kelly hears "Forresters and Spencers don't mix."

That would be an interesting story. If she overheard this idiotic phrase, think of all the adults who would be culpable for shattering a little girl's world and making her feel like she doesn't belong in either family.

And then we could have a story with a kid that had some meat to it (unlike the while Beth Plans A Wedding thing.) When was the last time this show had a family grapple with a truly troubled child...with an issue caused by their own family.

edit please pardon the typo in the title.

Electra and Will < Romeo and Juliet

I wish the show would stop pushing the WE relationship. If you have to work THAT HARD to get the audience to care, perhaps there is something missing in the story.

The writers are desperate to make Will and Electra into Romeo and Juliet, but there is not heat, no passion, and frankly no intellect. They seem vapid together. No substance. And I just don't care about their scenes.

A big part of it is how Electra is written. But she also is not a very good actress, and she and will (Crew Morrow) don't have chemistry.

Please. Just let them separate and be done.

52 Pick Up...on of my favorite episodes

This episode has Currie Graham, which means it automatically has my attention. But the chemistry between his character and Prentiss is great. The actor who plays the unsub is spot on. And the bartender who catches Spencer's interest is wonderful, too.

Great script, stellar cast.
