Weddings are big business in L.A., but so is divorce. Like Mama said, marriage is like a candy bar: sometimes you feel like putting up with a nut; sometimes you don't.

November 30, 2020
Liam ran off instead of checking that Thomas was really kissing Hope. And since Hope can't do her say-something-nice-about-the-person-at-your-right tradish this year, here's a quick overview of what B&B characters should be thankful for in Mike's holiday Two Scoops!
