IMO Neville isn't wrong about Dan, he gives off grifter vibes. Neville had the right to know what Dan did with the $500 Neville gave him for the DUI. 

This screams "The tumor made me do it" that AMC did with Jonathan Lavery 

Are they really suggesting that a hip replacement for Heather will "redeem" her, please tell me this is a joke?

I will say if Steffy was a narcissist she wouldn't feel remorse for things she does, especially killing Sheila.

I think some need to learn the true definition of the word lol 

I don't think they think FIZ is a success at all, that's why they keep digging their heels in despite a good majority that hate the pairing. Frank never admits defeat till he has too: ie Peter

IMO, there's more drama and conflict to be had with Liz, as a single mom of three boys/young men, finding love with someone who isn't already one of her baby daddies.  Someone who's solid and reliable - possibly, working as a doctor at the hospital - and who isn't played by Michael Easton, lol.

Right, I agree. Free Liz from the succubus

I'd sooner see Jason knockin' boots with Audrey!

IMO, LW's best chemistry was with Amelia Heinle on LOVING/THE CITY and Kim Zimmer and Cynthia Watros on GL.  No, I'm not kidding.

lol Khan, I don't want Liason but their fans have stuck around 25 years, give them something 

I think the best bet is give Liason a chance at long last. 

I remember the soap boards calling him "MYKILL" when he was played by Dylan Cash lol 

and CHUCKY too lol

I said that. And I said it because he said so, on the show yesterday. Which is available to watch on Hulu!

lol I knew I read it somewhere.

Sonny hasn’t been the same since Nixon Falls. Maybe there is something to play there in regards to Jason. He is also mostly isolated except for Ava. Sonny isolated traditionally means he is on the verge of a breakdown/in one. Plus he is paranoid after Michael/Dex was revealed.

I don’t find it all that strange Sonny thinks something is up with Jason. Because Sonny at his Guza core is a selfish bastard that wants power more than anything. Not being in the know is a threat to his power. We have seen grandpa Sonny who is pretty mild for close to decade. Him being volatile and unreasonable is back to 2000’s basics for him.

What I am hopeful for is that other characters are allowed to be as strong as him, so that the show doesn’t slip back into Sopranos lite like it did when Sonny/Carly/Jason became the dominant characters.

Someone said he's still pissed about the Jarly marriage

In no particular order:

Y&R: Victor, Nick, Phyllis, Billy, Adam, Tucker, Audra.

B&B: Ridge, Thomas, Steffy, Bill, Liam. 

I agree about Ridge, Bill and Liam, but how does Thomas and Steffy fit that definition? Let's be real and not just throw in characters cause we don't like them lol

Just listen to Bold live. That's all you need.

Casey: Yes your are live with Kimberlin. What's your question?

Idiot female caller: What dress would Sheila wear if she married Deacon?

Lord!

LMAO, and yes that person is right, this show doesn't use foreshadowing or anvils or whatnot. That drives me crazy that some see anvils in literally every single thing. Aaaah the days of watching soaps pre social media lol

You're right Ron that's so the type of question they'd get

To be fair to Brad Bell this is not just a B&B problem. Soaps are rarely very subtle in their dialogue. They don't use foreshadowing, they use a huge mallet to hammer home whatever point they're trying to make.

It's cause they have to dumb everything down. I mean go read FB or Twitter and you'll see why lol 

I thought it was cause wasn't something mentioned about a "Gated community" lol 

I like the "Accelerated development" part, it seems not to rush it but to also not go too slow either

Doesn't B&B only follow Y&R in about 50% of the country? In many cities: it's Y&R, local news, B&B. 

CBS tried to get B&B to expand to an hour in the 90s, but the Bells refused. While that worked when the schedule had 4 soaps, I think it's hurt them during the past decade. The narrow format has really hampered the show's ability to add depth to the canvas. It's the same merry-go-round and that's really burned them since 2021.

Yeah I watch a feed from I think New York for CBS when I wanna catch BOLD, and it is YR, News then BOLD

This answers our question, it's being developed as an HOUR

And how ominous that the lights went out in today's episode of The Talk. 

They also started with a weird commercial two screen split while the small screen had the talk with visual only.

They always do the split screen

My fear, though, is that B&B's ratings might suffer without the Y&R lead-in.  

Then maybe Bell will wake up and realize his "safety net" is gone and actually make an effort lol

Somehow I doubt that they have any basis for saying it looks like it will be an hour. If they had basis, why didn't they say what it was? 

I think it will be as well 

Yeah sandwiching it between YR & BOLD makes more sense, especially given YR is the higher rated of the two, IMO it following BOLD might work against it

What is it @Liberty CityI don't see anything

The show also paired her with people that looked years older than her.  Kiefer looked like he was 25 at 15.  Ethan?  Looked 10 years older than her and I actually don't think there was that much of an age difference.  Parker?  Get out.  Why would you pair LA with a woman that is a decade and a half older than her?   I really do understand she looks like a teenager, but the show didn't actually ever try to cast a love interest around that.

That is very true, I agree!

Oh I know she can't help it, but I remember at one point she looked younger than Molly who was like a pre teen and they had her in a romance, yikes lol
