Remember how we were all in awe of B&B's "Storm's Heart" SL? With the bleeding heart on the operating table and everybody kicking ass in all their scenes? Well, B&B just about erased all memory of that with this Katie/Nick ish last week.

I love campy as much as the next B&B fan, but really. Bridget discovering a cure on Google? Shouting about the "protocol"? WTF? What does that even mean?

And couldn't B&B bust out the hospital set again? Or are we meant to believe that obscure 80s ballads and Mr. Ed's tender wuv cured Katie?

Seriously, when Grampa Frisco lifted Katie in his Big, Strong Arms and carried her upstairs, I was LMAO. Was it meant to be so cheesily bad? It's like Brad wanted to do a wink-wink tribute to Jack Wagner's Frisco days on GH, but then realized that the heart-transplant thing is actually sorta serious. So we got some tearful crap and the show just fell between two stools. Honestly, William deVry was written off the show for this?

Don't get me started on Sanctimonious Plank o' Wood intoning about the scandal and bad press that Donna brings to FC. Funny how Donna managed to succeed where Ridge's shooting of Grant and tongue hockey with once-daughter Bridget failed. :blink:

I did laugh when Marcus walked in on the "family emergency meeting" and everybody sat there looking guilty as hell.

LOL, not just illogical. It was the cheesetastic crapness of it all!

I suspect part of it was dictated by Operation Nick is Not a Manwhore. Because the Frisco-love was overwelming. When Katie opened her eyes and saw those horse teeth braying at her and breathed "Have I gone to heaven?", I was :blink:

Shoot me for saying it, if you must...but I don't like Heather Tom in the role. If I ever hear Brooke launch into another "beloved baby sister" speech, I might not survive the diabetic coma. It's a damn shame Felicia didn't get this much story after she nearly died.

Katie is a waste of space, dragging Nick even further into the gutter. HTom is Bell and Alden's pet and will continue to shove her down our throats until HE tires of her or writes her into a corner (Felicia). Bell doesn't care what the viewers want, it's his show and and as he's said in the past, if we don't like it, change the channel. I don't think he thought that many of us would, but as the ratings have proven, we have.

i FLOVE Heather Tom. She *Is* perfection.

I like katie. She is at her ebst when she is the moral Logan trying to steer her crazed family in the correct direction and bonding with Stephanie.

I *HATE* this storyline and what they have done to Katie.

Hi, Thorne. Meet katie. Yeah ya alkready did but go do it again and make it work this time BB!

^ Seriously, what did Winsor Harmon do to piss off TPTB over at B&B? That guy can't get a SL or pairing for love or money. I adore the Meddling Siblings chemistry he's got with Felicia, but that's just filler.

WH stands out from his two predeccessors by the fact that he has chemistry with nearly all the female actresses he's been paired with (Bobbie Eakes being a notable exception). I mean, seriously, Hunter Tylo? KKL? Schae Harrison? Jennifer Gareis? Heather Tom? Dude shmoozes them big-time.

I was enjoying Kate before, but this whole storyline has ruined her for me. And it all couldn't be any more obvious if they tried.

Now Steffy and Marcus...I'm ALL about them! I think if they started to put them together as a pairing, there's some good stories from all different angles

    • Pleeeease I hope the writers have thought of this.
    • I want to see her doing brunch at the country club, flirting with the personal trainers and taking FULL advantage of all the perks while it lasts
    • It's on Prime too and Pluto TV. It's also available digitally.   The Blu-ray release has the movies that haven't been seen in HD, and they've corrected the premiere two-hour movie as it originally aired. The DVD and digital release use the syndicated split two episodes.   My maternal grandmother was a big fan of the show. I had no idea until later in its run.
    • Omg I didn’t even think about that she’d be beyond the gates doing his therapy! How exciting!
    • I assumed that Reva viewed Cain as someone she owed her life to since he was the one that helped save her during her attempted suicide.. so she felt responsible when he became ill. I imagine that Long would have used Cain as an obstacle/distraction for Reva as Kyle was working through his marriage to Maeve.  What interested me was that Fletcher/Maeve were tested earlier then I thought with his constant visiting Maeve in the hospital in December 1985... so possibly Long had it planned out that Fletcher would have been the right man for Maeve while Reva was the right woman for Kyle. Both Kyle and Maeve came from money... so I could see Long planning to ultimately pair them with opposites in a socioeconomical sense of the word had she stayed on. I certainly know had she been headwriting the show when Newman came back as Josh.. she wouldn't have quickly reunited Josh/Reva.
    • I could see where Kyle was intriguing for a hot minute, given that he was a millionaire with a secret grudge against the Lewises. But the entire premise for his grudge is stupid, and Reva's insta attraction to him doesn't fly.  I do think Reva needed to be separated from the Lewises, but she always comes off as a little lost without them, imo. I'm surprised they tied Kyle to them so rapidly. They could've drawn that story out for the entire two years Larkin was there.
    • If all true and this is the right leading lady, it may make sense why Kim didn't mention her by name, since Courtney passed away in Dec 2010, just under a year before the book came out in 2011. That would be the respectful thing to do, and it's not like Kim was shy about name dropping others in the book. All speculation though haha.
    • MSW streams on Peacock (for members), Tubi (for free), is on DVD, and is rerun on cable.... and I know a lot of young millennials/older Gen Z's that have recently been exposed to Murder She Wrote... and they love it. It's timeless.
    • Another example of the dysfunctional enmeshment that the Duprees labor under.   Dani freaking out about her father coming to visit as she's in bed with her boy toy totally screamed teenager instead of a grown ass woman that has two adult children.  The whole family needs to be in therapy including Nicole (who probably became a therapist because of the dysfunction within the family). @ranger1rgConsidering the fact that Chelsea has been controlled by a domineering Dani... I would be more surprised if Chelsea wasn't being extra and/or pushy.  She's spent more time being a model, having every move controlled by Dani, and being on social media as opposed to developing interpersonal relationships with her peers.
    • I agree. Every time she's on, it reads as "We're writing her in to fulfill her guarantee."
