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 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.

      It's a lesson to never be loyal because once your use is up, you're shown the door. MSW was the only bright spot for CBS for awhile, and once they were back on top... they promptly sabotaged the show as a repayment for all that the show had done for the network.

      The show made a mistake in not bringing in more McKinnon kids, specifically bringing back Ben. Kathleen was leaving, and while I like you am very fond of Sally Spencer as MJ, that didn't seem to be a common view. They also decimated the character in a truly sick storyline. So that just left Cheryl.

      Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well.

      I’m sensing you’re not really a John Black fan from your posts. This has been some of the best soap Days has done in many years but you seem completely opposed to it lol.

      The John Black character has been a part of my life for decades. I like heroes being honored, however imperfect they may be.  I'm glad they are giving him a long farewell and tribute.

      Annie Dutton was anything, but sane when she was introduced.  She was very tortured and looked like she was on the verge of tears when she was first introduced.   While people, and writers, made it seem as though Annie lost her mind because of Josh.. I truly think that Annie had a lot of untreated mental issues that didn't manifest until her marriage to Josh. Sonni was also anything, but strong when she was first introduced either.   Claire in 1983 was a complete 180 from the Claire that we got in 1986... and I do agree that her character was degraded.

      I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.

      She did. It was during a party at Amanda's. She didn't literally throw herself at him, but she was subtly coming on to him and he quickly shut her down. Yes, I remember she not only made a pass at Justin, she convinced Jackie that he was harassing her sexually. She also tried to convince Sara that he was pestering her. Everyone banged Josh back then, LOL. Whoa. I must have missed a good chunk of this first time around because I don't remember Reva going to India.  What I recall is Harley being a nanny to the kids and then Reva driving off the bridge. Then they kind of toyed with the idea of Josh and Harley getting together but I don't think that ever happened. Yes, that all happens but I don't recall the tumor. Maybe that's coming up soon with the videos being uploaded to Spauldingfield. The last one I watched, she was planning to vamp Kyle while taking care of the pregnant Maeve.
