Please don't tell me we're in for another round of incestuous lovers. :rolleyes:

Rick and Phoebe might not be blood related, but they're still family. Am I the only one that read this weird vibe between the two today. The way they were looking at each other, the music cues...

Today's show was ok, nothing compared to other great shows, but still ok. Way to much Brooke and Ridge I am so done with them, that I really don't care what happens to there soul mate relationship. I am in love with the Nickee storyline of taking down the Forrester's, I really hope the payoff is good here, but I am not that worried about that Bradly may be a bad writer in alot of ways but his payoff's are normally always good, wish I could say that about other writers. I can see the Rick and Phebe thing already starting that makes me sick, just about as sick as Ridge and Budge.

Is it really necessary for more Forrester incest? Why cant they bring back Caitlin and have her and Rick together? Or a Thomas/Caitlin/Rick triangle? Then have Pheobe and Shane together with some Harry in the story. Is it some law that on B&B at one time there can only ever be, no more than two non Forrester family members?

OK, there seems to be so much potential to the show right now, that is not being capitalized on.

Here are some of my ideas if I were writing.

1.Where is Shane?

2.Brooke and Ridge get married already for the 4th or 5th time,

3.Thorne and Taylor <move on already>,

4.Nick sail away on your ship, after selling Forrester Creations to Stephanie. Have Stephanie own Forrester Creations(Along with Rick, Bridget, Clarke, & Thorne & have Taylor as spokesmodel) and compete against Eric & Forrester Originals(Along with Brooke & Ridge & Jackie)

5.Eric divorce Stephanie & marry Jackie,

6.Move Ann & Pamela to LA for good,

7.Bring Dante back and have him marry Bridget* of course Brooke will have to cheat on Ridge, and sleep with Dante later on, to give Bridget less of a chance for a real marrige.

8.Then once Ridge and Brooke are over again, have her move on to Thorne.

9.Have Phoebe pregnant assuming it is Ricks, although have a possibility of either Shane or Harry's child.

Let Me Know What Ya ThinK?????????

I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw this...I knew the writing was possibly on the wall the second MacKenzie Mausy started "singing." GAG. At least its not as annoying as Adrienne Frantz...yet.

Phoebe is the new Bridget.

This [!@#$%^&*] is just really sick! What is WITH Brad's obsession with incest? I mean, I expect him or his wife to release a tell-all about Brad, Lauralee, and Bill Jr.

I make no bones about liking B&B, and hell, I was a champion for "Ridget" Round I. But this just really has no justification aside from shock value.

well this is original. I dont think B&B has gone the uncle/niece route. I remember being disgusted when OLTL went the aunt/nephew route with River/Adriana but this is worst bc Rick and Bridget both were raised as Forresters and he watched her grow up

Ádd me to the grossed out-list.

We knew it would happen and still it pisses me off. FuglyRick and Phoebs is everything but a dream come true and/or good story.

Just thinking about it: Rick is one sick bastard. I always liked the role but he's entered the pattern of flying on virgin territory.

First, he stole Thomas his VIRGIN girlfriend Caitlin (Memo to Brad; remember what a bust this story was?) and now he steals creepy Shane's lust-object VIRGIN Phoebe. Shane better pull out his hedge-clippers and start cutting Rick's hair or head...

Too bad that the golden days seem to end once again. :( I'm still one week behind with B&B and the show is SO great.

Are the following mantras of Bradley Bell being upheld this week on B&B?

1. Campyness rules

2. Gimmicks are to die-for

3. Repetitiveness is the new "hook"

4. Blood is thicker than water (More incest! More nepotism! More incest!)

5. Non-American viewers are the best kind (Love them Italians!)

6. The beds in L.A. must always be kept warm

Bradley Bell has been in the bottom of the gutter for years, and he sinks further into new lows. Papa & Mama Bell must be proud. :lol::angry:

I can see what all of you are saying but I got another vibe from the conversation.

To me ever since Rick has come back especially yesterday it was about being mad at Ridge. I like the edge that he has. And today it just seemed like maybe it was more of that anger and him reminding Phoebe that he is the real Forrester and she is not.

Could Brad being going in that direction with the story? Maybe a showdown between Ridge and Rick? It would cause problems with Ridge and Brooke if her son and Ridge became enemies too.

I know yesterday Rick was not happy with Ridge at all.

Just wondering? That was just more the impression I got.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
