B&B: OMG they're stunt-casting AGAIN


Recommended Posts

OMG, or to paraphrase: MON DIEU! - That girl playing Yvette, she was one of those bland woman on THE French soap opera serial.

Actually it must be one of THE most cheesy series in worldwide TV history. Beautiful people, beautiful landscapes, dreadful actors, dialogues which sound even stilted for French standards... A riot! Search Youtube for "Sous Le Soleil" and you should find some wonderful stuff.

OMG, how sad is it that I know Sous le Soleil?!

Went to France. Watched this show. My parents might have well pissed the money for the flight ticket down the drain!

That soap was so painted-by-numbers. BUT! It had the best production values and they filmed outdoors all the time. No offense, but if somebody asked me to act in a soap set in the French Riviera -- and move there because THAT'S WHERE THEY WOULD BE FILMING, I'd be all over that like a fly on sh!t.

Um, which one was Yvette? There was an American chick, so it can't be her. And there was Laure, the saintly doctor/heroine. And there was the sinfully young ex-wife of Johnny Hallyday (France's answer to Elvis -- except he can't sing) who played the girl in relationships with good guys but who kept having affairs with bad boys/gypsies/any dude on a motorbike.

Wonder if they still do the show?

Oh my gosh. Cat, you're a "fan" as well - I always knew you had bad taste but this takes the cake... ;):P

Dunno. When I’d been in Italy last summer “Sous le Soleil” was on TV... But recently in Germany it wasn’t. “St. Tropez” who it was also called, could be cancelled, I don’t get the gist of IMDB’s data which is pretty inconsistent. I’ve never seen much of series because it was too painful for my taste.

That chick who now played Yvette on B&B (last seen on Wednesday...) is American according to IMDB so she might have been one on “Sous le Soleil” as well. The only one I remember well is Laure who was such a gifted doctor, such a great friend and such a fabulous human being. I always wondered why she couldn’t walk on the Mediterranean? LOL!

Pardon me?! Moi, bad taste? :lol:

I watched it with my jaw on the ground. There was some seriously stilted acting going on. Not as bad as Hélène et les Garçons, though (look it up on youtube if you don't know what I'm talking about -- so cheap, the whole thing takes place on three sets: dorm room, gym, and the garage).

And :blink: you mean TF1 sold SLS to Italy and Germany? ::stunned::

Laure = the Christine Blair Williams of SLS.

And the show must be cancelled if "Yvette" is desperately scrambling for a walk-on part on B&B.

Well, they killed off one of their heroines pretty big - seriously scratching my head if it might have been Laure - but then she suddenly was back alive. (I remember seeing the back from dead intro and it was so cheesy. How the actors tried to emote and look surprised although most of them seemed too busy tanning under the Cote d'Azur sun... LMAO!) So maybe Tonya Kinzinger (that's her real-name apparently) was also just killed off temporarily... Could be that Prince Omar now has a thing for French vixens? :lol:

I'm sure "SLS" was also sold to Eastern Europe. All bad TV series get to air, too. It's probably a way to acquint them with democracy, the freedom to watch crap on TV.

I also think "SLS" even had spin-off shot on Tahiti or so!? T'was about some divers at "Saint Martin" and equally bad...

I mentioned that soap on The Foreign Soaps topic. And in the one which discussed possible changes on B&B.

It really has fabulous production, set and costume design.

P. S. Does anyone, by the way, know what's the difference between set dresser, set decorator and set designer? I have a somewhat vague idea.

    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • 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?
