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.

    • Elements of it were silly, but it was a small price to pay to get Zas back. I should say there's a difference between in town and out of town returns. It's understandable for Roger to skulk around town in a bad wig and clown suit when he's in Springfield and running the risk of bumping in to people he knows.  Taking us out of town to find someone always has a short shelf life. Then it usually becomes about another character knowing X is alive but determined to keep them out of Springfield. Like Alan discovering Amish Reva. I don't know how long it went on, but it was probably twice as long as necessary.
    • Elizabeth Dennehy complained on the Locher Room about how ridiculous so much of the writing was for Roger's return. She laughed at so much of Roger's antics and how it was hard for her to take them seriously. Probably another reason she was fired as she didn't play the game.  
    • Only thing I enjoyed was Abby / Olivia, etc., and the addiction storyline. Otherwise, I could do without the season.
    • Right? Vanessa had a ball gown for every occasion.
    • Roger's return storyline may have been silly but Roger's return was what lead to GL's last golden era.  It was the combination of Roger's return and Robert Calhoun becoming EP that got GL to finally hit it's stride after some really bad years. It will always disappoint me that the ratings during Robert Calhoun's run didn't reflect the quality of the show.
    • He also gave some of the best episodes, like the episodes surrounding Doug's death. The problem with Days was that Ron had a horrible vision from he top. I don't feel the same for MVJ and nothing that has happened in all these months suggests she doesn't have a handle on the show. Now if it becomes an issue I'll acknowledge it, but I'm not seeing it so far.
    • Jean Hackney was awful and that lead to Ben's exit story which sucked. I liked Ben/Val together. Val's love for Ben was that of a grown woman moving on with her life and Ben's love for Val made him willingly decide to raise another man's children as his own.
    • It wasn't just a GL thing, it was an 80s thing. Opulent party scenes on soaps were very big back then. Even in regular episodes where people are just going to dinner they're dressed up like they're going to see royalty.
    • Just started the May 27 episode and first thing I see is that Willow got an ugly haircut since hte last time i watched   I dont have the context for how everthing went down but I know its all Lulu's fault which make her a bish for what she did to Gio
    • I'm pretty sure he was. But point taken. GL really had a thing for masked and costumed balls/parties in the '80's. Everyone looks fabulous, but those poor costume designers.
