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.

      Cat herself will be a stumbling block all her own as she vowed to Chad to stay away from him, thus redeeming her of her crime morally. Classic DAYS would have them gazing longingly at each other at Doug's Place or Blondie's, while Liz is serenading the room with a song aptly chosen to represent their feelings of emotional turmoil.

      From what I just recently watched, they were setting her up to go into future stories. She was Emmy nomination worthy in the material I saw. If some viewers did not like her, the character could have been rehabilitated after that sick storyline. It feels like they destroyed a character for fun and then tossed her to the curb. Spencer had chemistry with everyone. I'm just retroactively angry on Spencer's behalf.  You're right about how Cheryl was often forgotten and pushed aside and I would take Cheryl over Josie. I think soaps need characters like Cheryl. Characters like Josie are way too common. Josie always got on my nerves.

      CBS was back in third place in 1994/95. That was the season CBS lost NFL broadcasting rights which also cost them several established affiliates in major media markets. 1995 CBS was sold to Westinghouse and Les Moonves arrived. 1995/96 CBS was trying to be young and cool to compete with NBC and Fox, but it was an epic failure and CBS was once again in third place.

      I tend to think that Chad will actually listen to Jen (this time). And that will be the next stumbling block in their relationship, which will open the possibilities for Cat to seek another member of their love triangle... To iterate my earlier thought, I am also not a fan of the person Melissa Reeves, but the character of Jennifer looks so chic this week, especially in comparison to Hope (and Gabi).  That blunt haircut is a winner.

      I think Cheryl was essentially replaced by Josie, and it seems likely that Lemay wanted to bring the Frames back into the picture and for a variety of reasons that it would be McKinnons who would make way for them. Cheryl didn't really get many layers -- she was pretty and kind and sweet and faded into the background so that Scott could participate in the AIDS storyline with Dawn. Looking at the AWHP, other than (not very) shockingly being in love with her mother's adopted son Scott, Cheryl apparently went out with Sam and flirted with much-too-old-for-her John Hudson and MJ's ex-boyfriend/pimp Chad. I know MJ told Mary that she had been a prostitute, but did she tell Cheryl and did she tell anyone about Chad's pimping?

      I feel the same way about Melissa Reeves' Jennifer. She just makes the show feel like home by her presence alone. I am perfectly okay with them coming in every once and awhile, which probably fits Reeves' schedule better anyway. Their connections to Salem are still there: JJ, the grandkids, Jack still owning half of The Spectator ... they're perfect recurring characters. All this talk of Jennifer being in the wrong regarding Cat is absurd. Jennifer is not being villainized in any way, shape, or form, she's just being allowed to actually be human, which adds odds to the obstacle of Chad and Cat eventually getting together. All inner conflict. Keep it coming!

      Hahaha. Jean Hackney, Angelica Nero, and the Falcon Crest henchwomen were all straight out of a James Bond movie.

      My hunch is what you've described. JFP is likely back working on transitioning the show to a new studio and embracing new technology for its production model.

      The woman who was the co-chair of Latinas for Trump is now complaining about his targeting immigrants that she thought were "safe." I also read a puff piece from yet another "insider" journalist who lives to normalize fascists - this one with a tech bro who was venting off the record because he thought voting for Trump was cool and would show up the Democrats and maybe we'd get Greenland, but now he's getting upset.  These people still support Trump, and Republicans, they just want to make sure they get credit for being respectable. And they will get it.

      I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.
