B&B Question


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I'm going to start watching B&B when Ashley comes along and probably earlier. Can anyone fill me in on the back story of this show, what is what, what's going on and who is who? I know about Brooke and Ridge and Taylor (is she still on the show??), and to some extent Nick. But I still need the crux of what the show is about and what to expect when I start watching... If anyone can help it would be great!!

Stephanie and Eric have recommitted to one another, even though Pamela (Steph's siter) and Jackie (Nick's Mom) are lusting after him.

Stephanie was abused by her father, hid it and when she revealed it that brought Ann her mother and Pamela to the screen.

Nick has been with Brooke, Bridget, Felicia and now Taylor. Taylor recently last summer killed Thorne's wife, Darla...hid it and fell in love with Thorne. They broke off their engagment when Ally (Thorne's Daughter) was told by Hope (Brooke's spawn) that Taylor killed Darla. Taylor ran to Nick's arms and helped him work through his issues.

Through those issue Nick learned Jackie was a whore, a fact that Stephanie and Ridge learned and exposed. Last fall Jackie fell over a balcony and blamed Steph, in order for her not to go to jail or have charges pressed, the Forresters gave Forrester Originals to Nick. Hencer their new company.

Phoebe is falling in love with Brooke's stepson Rick who is Eric father, but because Ridge is a Marone, he is not related to Rick and thus Rick is not related to Phoebe.

Questions? LOL :) Hope that helps.

Just a little clarification on Rick and Phoebe...

Rick is the son of Brooke and Eric.

Phoebe is the daugther of Ridge and Taylor.

If Brooke and Ridge get re-re-re-married, Rick will be Ridge's stepson and Phoebe will be Brooke's stepdaughter. And as Josh pointed out, since Ridge isn't related to Eric by blood, Rick and Phoebe aren't related by blood either. What a twisted family tree, lol.

Rick and Phoebe is friggin disgusting bc thats his niece. They only found out there wasnt a blood relation a few years ago but they were both raised and brought up as Forresters and are family. This is just as sick as the Bridget/Ridge thing. Maybe B&B needs to stop axing its actors that arent Forresters bc this incest thing needs to stop. Soon we'll find out Felicia was switched at birth and she and Thorne start sleeping together

The incest angle doesn't bother me so much because Holden and Lily are one of ATWT's biggest, brightest, most cherished supercouples. And Holden is Lily's (<<adopted) uncle.

The thing that bugs me is the AGE! I don't know if it's the fact that Rick has been married, had a kid, etc. and Phoebe's barely out of her training bra...or the fact that Kyle Lowder was sexing up a much older woman (his real life wife) on DAYS.....But this whole age thing is what gets me!

True with Holden and Lily, however they were not RAISED together like family. We have seen Rick be born and grow up. Same with Phoebe! So that is what is icky. The age doesn't bother me that much though...different people, different vibes. LOL.

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
