LoL, so true! The moment she falls down was so obvious, especially with the wig popping up--did you see that? There seemed to be a chasm between the neck and the hair lol

Great episode, though, today! It seems Donna, Stephen, Nick, Jackie, Storm AND Brooke might be suspects, lol.

This is going to be awesome!

I LOVED Katie telling Thorne off! You go girl! I also loved how Thorne was chastized for not being his usual self and how Eric related Felicia and Thorne's acting to Stephanie. And, I have to say this: Even though I FLOVE Stephanie and I think Susan Flannery is one of the best actresses out there, I enjoyed seeing her being shot and, in a way, paying for all she has done. I mean, she has done a lot, hasn't she?

I can't wait to see what happens tomorrow, lol

Loved B&B today and yesterday, some good campy drama.

Favorite part today? Stephanie: "I *always* have to turn the lights off."

Psh. Bitch please, somebody's about to turn your lights off, all right.

This show is just a testament to the fact that soap opera, as a whole, would be much better off if everything went back to 30 minutes. Every time I watch B&B, no matter if the show's horrible or great, I always feel an old-school quality to it. It never fails t take me back to about 10-15 years ago. I'd leave maybe the biggest soap of each network at 60 minutes (Y&R and GH, and DAYS too, I guess), but put the rest at 30 minutes each.

Aaaaw, she's not that bad. I think Gareis is an actress that depends very much on the quality of the script she's given. If the script is good, she's good. If the script is not that good, then she's also not that good. As far as I'm concerned, she's been given great material in B&B, therefore she's acceptable. Of course, I'm not saying she's anywhere near Heather Tom, Eilleen Davidson, Susan Flannery, Lesli Kay, or even Katherine Kelly Lang.

LOL! :D :D :D

I absolutely agree. No matter how bad it gets, B&B has something distinctly soapy about it. Some people argue that B&B should go to an hour, but I think that the half-hour format has kept it fresh. It would destroy the show, and its style, if it went to an hour.

I'm not a fan of Donna. Jennifer Gareis doesn't do much for me! I wouldn't care if Donna was sent off to prison.

KKL and Heather Tom are better actresses!

And Brad Bell, please keep Patrick Duffy around much longer this time, and give William De Vry a SL. B)

Who do I think really shot Stephanie? Pam :o

Yes! Patrick Duffy needs to stay and Storm should definitely get a storyline!!! He's FANTASTIC!

How come you think Pam shot her?

What do you guys think will happen with Katie and Thorne now? Are they broken up? Not? Will they?

I just watched Monday's episode and I'm in HEAVEN! This is the best fashion show I can remember watching! You have the over the top glamous, it feels grand like a real show, there is humor, drama, romance and the mystery with Stephanie. Hats off to the entire B&B staff for this gem!

Felicia and Thorne have great chemistry together. I hope we see more scenes with these two. I really don't care for Ridge with any of his siblings. Also hoping Felicia and Thorne get their much deserved storylines. We got a nice moment between Katie and Thorne. Those two feel natural together and could be a great long term couple.

I finally felt something for Stephanie during this episode. With the flashbacks and those final moments with Eric, it kinda made me sad. She has done so much for him and I do feel like she loved him. Unfortunately, people grow apart and she needs to move on.

      . This show is so stupid. Sonny killed an FBI agent less than a year ago by shooting him at point blank range. But the new short bald man is much much worse cause he was a bad guy in some part of Africa and managed to not kill Lucky, Isaiah, Jason, or Anna. This show is crippled by the mob all these years after Guza has been long gone.    Laura is literally saying oooo but Sonny is a good mobster for Port Charles. Give me a [!@#$%^&*].ing break. Sometimes I don’t know why I watch this joke of a show.
    • With all the changes Sunny was one of the longest running characters by that time.  She had never been married and had heaps of story potential. I can see America getting with SFT -you know 'the circus soap'. Smart move because circuses were all the rage with the kids in the 80's. Maybe Stu and Jo could have bought the circus.
    • It is actually pathetic, that Victor’s 50 year old children are still written as scared of this man that has to sit in every scene. I get it, EB has been on the show for almost 50 years, but I don’t care. He’s a man in his 80’s and should not be the damn lead and driving force because you don’t want to upset Eric Braeden ‘s fragile ego that only exists because the writers have cowtowed to this man for so long.
    • PREACH Victor being written as he was 20 years ago to support EB's ego or some misguided belief that what worked decades ago is still relevant is destroying the show. Victor comes off as a rambling old fool holding on to vendettas and a desperate need for perceived power. His children still cow-towing to him makes them look equally foolish. If the writing portrayed Victor as  more of an irritant to them then maybe it would work.
    • They desperately need another meeting spot that isn’t Orphy Genes or the Country club. Y&R is awful now but there’s at least GCAC, Crimson Lights, Society, and the Jazz room at GCAC to meet at. 4 places is definitely better than 2 and I can’t imagine these rich folks literally only eat at their damn country club.
    • I support all of this. 80 year old Victor reading lines off the table or teleprompter until it’s time to yell at someone and still being the main man driving story on the show is absolutely ridiculous to me and one of the biggest issues with the show. I respect Braeden for wanting to keep working in his old age is great and all, but WHY IS HE THE LEAD?
    • I believe they said 27 sets. We have not seen that many maybe around 20. Perhaps they meant they have space for that number. I would like to see another meeting place -maybe a restaurant that could fit in b/w Orphy's and the Country Club. Casual but classy. Jacob/Naomi need a living room and it would be good if Vern/Anita had a smaller study/library so they're not always in the same room. I guess budget plays a part. For example, maybe the plan is for Jacob/Naomi to get a home down the track when they become more prominent. I really hope that outdoor sets come into use. A terrace at the Country Club or a few shopfronts-a park maybe. Speculation re June. I would go with a Hayley connection as she needs something else to do apart from whining to Bill. June could  provide some conflict cos I don't see Bill being that interested in having her around. He could try to buy her off, upsetting Hayley or she could overhear/uncover some dirt on Bill so he's forced to keep her around. The parents of Tyrell/Samantha can be held for down the track along with the mystery of Andre's parents. The advantage of a new show is that there is so much from character's pasts that can be used. An ex for Vernon or Anita and various relatives to come out of the woodwork.
    • Oh god I haven’t gotten to that episode yet, you have to be [!@#$%^&*].ing kidding me. I will say to my surprise, the Danny actor no longer bothers me. He has actually improved quite a bit.
    • I hear what you are saying, but I feel there is definitely an opportunity for improvement. If the set problem is to remain, then the whole focus has to change. Business has to take a back seat if there are no sets available to support story. As I have said before return to Jabot and have a number of characters working and interacting there. They seem super reluctant to do it but Victor needs to be a more supporting character.  Eric Braeden seems determined to carry on and that is of course admirable,but keeping Victor as this dominating force has been detrimental. Have a sweet reunion of Sharon and Nick and marry them off for good. Bring on Faith and I'd even have Adamson back as Noah at this point to support Nick/Sharon in a parenting role. They really need to bite the bullet and drop one of the following -Billy, Chelsea, Phyllis or make them recurring like Abby/Ashley with appearances or short term stories when appropriate. Free up some space for new or returning characters- Noah, Allie, Fen, Moses,even a recast Dylan.
