Very disappointed with this new season (2019) and new format. And even a bit ashamed. I admire and respect Judge Toler, but I am dismayed with the behavior that apparently the producers have decided to allow in her courtroom this season. Most of us know that these shows are also intended to entertain, however Judge Toler's past shows were indeed entertaining (and informative) without this level and extent of disrespect to the court. The excessive screaming and yelling, talking over the judge, and especially the profanity this season, are totally inappropriate, and send the wrong 'message'; it 'tells' people that they do not have to adhere to any courtroom decorum, nor demonstrate respect for the judge. (Previous reviewers have compared this season's shows to both Springer's and Maury's TV shows...) Such behavior, in the courtroom, is totally unacceptable.<End>

It was refreshing to see that so many viewers agree that this Beth and baby story has lasted far too long. It is so heartbreaking; and, this is coming from a normally Team Steffy viewer. How can the writers keep Beth and Liam from knowing the truth for so long? This is flat-out wrong. And to those who say that 'soap operas are supposed to be filled with this kind of drama', I say "yes, but this story line has overrun its course. Beth and Liam should be allowed to know they have a baby, while she is still a baby." Additionally, after today's show (6/14/19), it's more clear than ever that Thomas needs to join his mother, Taylor, on a couch being counseled by a real, healthy-functioning psychiatrist (unlike currently dysfunctional Taylor)! He is flat-out dangerous, reminiscent of his mother, Taylor when she shot Bill.
