I like the new look Nick, with the slicked back hair. Sure, they are going all out to make the character look as nasty as possible, but Jack Wagner is hotter than ever, he'll have a ball with this SL.

A return of the war between the fashion houses is what B&B needs: Nick/Jackie/Donna/Clarke vs the Forresters and Brooke. For this to work, Eric/Ridge/Brooke/Thorne will have to set up some new company.

I'm also excited about Betty White soon appearing. This SL about Stephanie and her mother should be a lot of fun, and I'm expecting tremendous performances from the actresses involved.

The only downside: the reemergence of Bridge. I'd prefer Brooke was alone, rather than return to Ridge for the 4000th time.

I really don't know where the Nick SL is going. So he owns Forrester, okay, nobody still works there, he doesn't know about fashion and Jackie already has her own business. I don't see this lasting for long.

And what is the point having Shane around? I guess they could have Phoebe actually falling for him, but other than that, doesn't seem to make much difference if he's there or not.

I also can't wait for Betty White and Stephanie SL. December should be a good month.

Totally love the direction the show is going in, well except for Brooke and Ridge again, other than that the show is the best it has been in years right now. Today's show 11-22 was just totally fantastic, and reminded me of the old days. Love that the Queen is back in action.

I'll tell you on December 1st

I liked the Jackie/Stephanie confrontaion. I haven't been watching much, but who is Donna?

Brooke's Sister

I am enjoying B&B this week. It has been really good. I might have to add to my recording rotation again. I still don't like Brooke and Ridge together.

I'm enjoying Thorne and Taylor, can't wait for Stephanie's upcoming story, hate Donna, and I'll actually be rooting for the Forresters for once in this battle over the company. I want to root for Nick and Jackie, but I just can't for some reason. No, I know why. Probably because Nick has no business trying to run a fashion house, the viewers know that Stephanie didn't intentionally push Jackie down the stairs, and Donna, Nick, and even Jackie, to some degree, are very unlikable in this storyline.

I think Nick is very unlikable in this storyline. Usually you would want to root against Ridge, but this makes it seem like Nick is just taking the Forresters' life away. I almost always like Jackie, but I don't think this is helping her at all.

^ITA.

I'm watching the Macy's parade on CBS right now and I have seen the commercial for B&B with Betty White playing Steph's mommy twice now and while it was just a brief little glimpse of her at the the end of the commercial, boy does she look scary as hell. I can't wait until next Friday!

Ah, Thanksgiving. I’m definitely thankful that it gives me the chance to FINALLY catch up with B&B....

I just saw Monday’s show and must say the courtroom drama overall has been excellent. It had fast pacing but we got to see the main points and the writing was excellent - LML at Y&R may please take note.

I also like the whole family feel this story has put together. In the midst of the celebration Felicia delivered a fabulous quote to Storm: “Didn’t you used to be older and boring!?” Considering Storm is now about the same age he was in 1990 and William deVry oozes indeed more charisma than his predecessors I couldn’t help it but see it as an inside joke.

Now I’m anxious for Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s show when apparently Nick’s claws come out... Too bad, Nick’s becoming a villain, yet I’m looking very much forward to a strong and united Forrester family bringing him DOWN.

And finally, WTF!? me not yet having seen a Betty White promo - CBS better put it online ASAP because I'm dying to see Mommy Dearest...
