B&B: Week of January 29th


Recommended Posts

I get that Rick thinks Brooke/Ridge, the 150th go-round is doomed. But it's like he has no CLUE that Nick slept with Bridget again after Nick married Brooke.

And I think everyone assumes that the long explanation reminding us that Ridge is a Marone, and Rick and Phoebe share NO blood relation just means DumbBell wants to go there.

Brad Bell is without a doubt the WORST writer in daytime history! What is up with all the incest? There is no buzz, no chemistry and Ridge/Bridget was a HUGE HUGE flop, both times! He has no imagination, no vision for the show. B&B is so boring and the stories seem to go in circles. The cast is the only thing saving this show right now. I'd rather have JER or anyone who would at least TRY. Beyond Rick and Phoebe being siblings, she AT THE MOST looks 15 and he looks 30...talk about gross! That along should be reason not to do this.

After that big casting news, I feel I HAVE to start watching the show now, but it's just so bad. I don't know how I'll manage. :(

I do like Pamela, but I don't want her ruined with Eric. He bores me and I wish they could find a better man for Stephanie. He doesn't deserve her. I also wish they'd bring Morgan back for Ridge and give Brooke a younger man. AND MORE CLARKE PLEASE!

Could someone tell me if it would be okay to put Clarke with Felicia? Those two great, wasted actors would probably rock together.

I was waiting for someone to bring it up! I'm simply amazed that Rick can take a few music lessons and develop that amazing voice like nothing :lol: And I was a little surprised to see Phoebe singing with him. I had no idea she could sing. She's not half-bad. I'm not a fan of the Rick/Phoebe pairing. This couple screams INCEST!

I think this was the best version of Unforgettable that I have ever heard, both Lawder and Mawze have great voices. Can Jack Wagner ever open his mouth and sing again with some real singing talent on the show? I'm just so glad Amber is over on the sinking ship of Y&R and not on B&B trying to compete with Phoebe.

As for a Rick/Phoebe pairing it doesn't have nearly the disgust factor that Ridge and Bridget had. Ridge was the one who delivered Bridget into the world and changed her diapers as a baby. Rick didn't ever change Phoebe's diapers and he was barely around while she was growing up. I think thils is one way Brad can have his keep it in the family love and keep the audience. The ratings sunk really bad for Sicket and they still probably haven't lured back all the viewers who quit in disgust. I also like the idea of Ridge and Rick at eachothers throats. It is a way to throw in some conflict for Bridge without having a stupid triangle. He can save the Triangle for Taylor/Nick/Ashley.

Seriously, that hair has to go!

I can't stand to look at Kyle LousyHairder - acting wise, loving the Rick/Ridge conflict as well, he is okay. Better scripts than on DAYS seem to work for him...

Still, that HAIR! If Rick is such a mucho-macho why does he look like a drag queen with a BAAAAAD wig? Hairdresse, pronto!

I also still don't like the prospect of Phoebe/Rick and therefore hope Rick is buh-bye when he has put enough thorns to Ridge&Brooke's side.

Overall the show has gotten a tad less interesting over the last week. Before that it was can't miss.

Normally I appreciate character rotation but the lesser dose of Taylor (or Thorne for that matter) in the last week showed a decline in action on the show - even if Brooke/Ridge are mildly interesting at best.

But I can't enough express my worshipping for Ally Mills. Mastermind casting. LOVE HER. LOVE HER with Susan Flannery. LOVE HER at odds with Jackie (LMAO for that line "I hate her!) . Pam, Eric, Stephanie, Jackie - why can't more soaps feauture mature actors with such brilliant skills in frontburner roles?

    • @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.
