B&B: December 2024 Discussion Thread
Yeah, Bridget's reaction was hilariously weird. What an acting choice. I wonder what Joshua Hoffman did to piss off Brad Bell, because this makes no sense. Look, he's no actor, but at least he looks so damn good. I miss ignoring the dialogue because I'm checking him out in tight shirts and tight slacks.

Yep, I agree. There's no reason to show Blaze ever again, and my hatred of Natalia continues. Who in the hell chooses these repeats? Violet? Because GH never gets it right. -- Lots of great comments on these pages about Trina, Gio, Lulu, and others. Still, I don't think they're going to listen to any of us. Have you seen the streaming numbers? Last week, GH was number 1 on Hulu for most of the week and in the top 5 every day. I'm sure they see those numbers and tell themselves how awesome it's all going.

This Christmas episode is SO BAD it's awesome. I'm loving that every scene, every line is a laugh riot! -- The camera panning those Xmas ornaments like there's some Horton family tradition involved. -- Brooke pretending she decorated that tree. -- Katie showing up like she's dressed for a night at the strip club. -- Zende looking like he hasn't put down the fork since Halloween while RJ is nowhere in sight. -- The kids are off in some other room, as usual. So much "It's all about family" while the kids are nowhere in sight. -- Taylor giving Ridge his pen from "our first Xmas together." Dumbest psychiatrist ever. -- Carter and Hope under the mistletoe, without a single ounce of chemistry. -- Katie presenting Brooke with a plate of food, and Brooke proceeds to eat a grape. A single grape. -- Brooke tells Katie she's "not giving up on Ridge" -- the day after catching him with Taylor. -- Taylor telling Ridge "I know this must be a tough Xmas for you" while Ridge replies "Because I lose my best friend." Taylor has to add "And Brooke." -- Steffy telling Taylor "You're home...where you belong...and Dad agrees." -- Doormat Brooke texting Ridge a Merry Christmas with an XO. -- Chubby Zende reminding everyone that it's really all about the birth of Jesus. -- Singing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" without any of the kids around. The entire show was an epic fail, but worth watching if you laugh at all of it.

I'm halfway through the episode, and I have half a mind to turn it off. The Leo stuff is worse and worse all the time. It's a complete waste to make any attempt to redeem that character when you write scenes like this. Yep. Its bad enough to waste DH as Hattie in these scenes, but also making Rafe a putz? Leo turns every scene into some drag show escapade.

I think you're right about them. They were a good fit for characters who at first glance didn't seem to be one. They worked well together, and I blame the show for ignoring them. Now we're supposed to feel something about a relationship we haven't seen for months. Dreadful is right. I can't stand it when a soap pretends an in-town "university" like PCU is some major player in sports or academia. No, they're not playing Oregon, Georgia, or Notre Dame and they don't have Heisman hopefuls on the team.

They're trying hard with the Joss Mourns Dex stuff, but none of it resonates. We just haven't seen enough of that couple in recent months. It's possible I wouldn't care to watch this even if we had, but that's a moot point. GH dropped the ball. I also don't think Eden McCoy is doing much with these scenes. Not seeing a grief-stricken partner, that's for sure. Doesn't help when -- for some godawful reason -- spends the day at the Xmas tree park so she can run into Cam for a really awkward conversation.

-- I admit I don't like Sonny, but that's hardly the whole point, because I also dislike the way Maurice Benard is playing Sonny. The truth is that his acting skills have really regressed, and he's just not the same performer he once was. He struggles -- mightily at times -- to remember lines, and it's annoying and awkward and hard to watch. -- Do I think the order of the head writers' names matters? No, I don't. I think those names are alternated, and I don't believe their individual skills sets are attached to anything regarding the credits.
