B&B: Week of June 30th

I hate quoting myself - wait, no I love listening/reading to myself :P - so I'll just do it. LOL

I disagree though that B&B is plot driven. The characters still make sense for the most part. But boy, the pacing of the stories makes them all look crazy. Getting cured of death/bullitt holes/bad highschool memories being in love with your rescuer, yet pushing him to marry your aunt the second you wakeup from your coma/near-death...

I want a longterm story. Some which lasts longer than a mere 4 weeks which is all we get these days and I just don't get it. I want Lesley-Anne Down in the bathtub at SPectra damn it!

A lot. ;):lol:

CATHERINE!? Nanny Catherine is back? Maybe Brad's sister-in-law will knock some sense into him - who knows?

MrSmartyPants is also pissed at B&B these days - his comments are hilarious as usual. Check it out... I'd really like to say sth. positive about B&B right now but I can't. The arrival of the mysterious stranger on Wednesday is my only hope. Maybe he is a designer and we'll get back to business!? Or we enter another love triangle of course... :rolleyes: But even this might be more worthwhile than most things going on right now in the Logan family's version of ER.

EDIT: Just saw Slyph made his 4000th post, including probably 100 where he confessed his love for Nancy Curlee ;) : Let's drink to that! :)

Hmmm....so VerizonWireless had the show up early today and I got to listen to it at work, which meant I couldn't fast forward the Logan drama. While it was well acted, it really just seemed like the same 5 lines over and over again. And I couldn't help but giggle when super Dr. Bridget sprung into action.

The Ridge and Phoebe scenes were interesting...I do think there's some sort of jealousy between Phoebe and Steffy, but at the same point Phoebe did feel bad. I hope it is explored more.

And Steffy and Marcus could read the phonebook in their scenes and I'd still love them, they are that much fun. I actually think there's potential for a "B storyline" with those two involved and no one liking it.

Well CAMP for sure if Pam comes around, lol.

I want some good character stuff with Beth's problem. I was rolling my eyes the whole time Bridget was talking. Yes she's a doctor and yes they should get Beth "fixed," but I want to see what happens for a while without any medical interference. And I hope they don't write Beth into a corner and have to pull a Felicia/Katie of a miraculous cure. I'm hopeful it won't come to that since her illness isn't correlating with impending death (so far).

I still don't know about Marcus and Steffy. I don't dislike either of them, but I just don't know.

We get the "mysterious stranger" tomorrow. We'll see if Brandon Beemer isn't just a pretty face for the summer.

I didn't read the original Brandon Beemer thing post when it was announced he was coming, so this might have been answered, but can he actually act or are his looks all he has?

We almost got the twin fight, but Steffy got over it.

And now that the Paris argument is finally over with Beth, I wonder what (or who) she'll do in LA.

LOL! I actually like campy Pam.

Okay, I'm watching my tape of today's B&B right now ... um, has anyone else notice the new "hipper" music cues and the rapid aerial views shots before/between scenes? For example, there was the very beginning of the episode with quick shots of L.A and Brooke's house with this new music cue and then they did it again with the new guy's entrance.

Lol I do too.

I think I liked the new shots and music. They're just different from the norm and I don't think they cheapened the show, yet anyway. I think they do outside well as far as lighting and the quality of how it looks.

I was wondering (and nervous) that Susan Flannery would to try stuff since there was that article about how she went to GL to check out their new way.

    • Yes, just so.  Thanks for the info. I could tell this was going to be a big thing with ShawnD in this danger! Especially love that the little guy is Andrew!
    • I think the shocker would be if he's NOT playing Dumas. That's where Josh Griffith plays most of his stories. Now they have Cole "self-isolating" because they don't want to put up that hospital set. Will Cole cough himself to death at the GCAC? What a "storyline." I can't believe how much JG is playing with us regarding Nick and Sharon. The teasing has become pathetic, especially for Shick fans who want them back together. My guess is that he'll reveal his real name once he is exposed.
    • Maybe we'll meet Leslie's mama who'll be a former Articulette and they'll build the rival family from there that a lot of people seem to think is missing. It'd make sense considering Anita's been hammering on about going on tour and reviving her music career. 
    • hahaha at the Brennan shade.   But even I saw this and have to agree. What's really sad is that some of the person on that list could easily have a love interest that is on the canvas. They just need to be written for. 
    • The thought has crossed my mind. Tricia Mann-Grant did say in her EW interview w/ MVJ and DD, that Leslie wants to be a Dupree just as bad as she wants Eva to be. I believe now that's the direction they are going in, that maybe she is just obsessed with the family. I could be wrong though.
    • True. But I have always had mixed feelings about that twist. Since I love the Damian storyline which already had twists and turns. Also I could not wait for a new powerful AND BLACK businessman to mix it up at some point with Victor. It just seem like another twist that was added on for twist sake. And also for a character (whether I love him or not) to hijack a new and refreshing storyline so they can be propped.    Once good thing that I can say about JG is that he loves to keep the Abbotts in rotation. So I could see that happening with Diane. I don't think she has mentioned her backstory, either. I would be intrigued. 
    • That's how I feel. Beats could have been played for the past couple months wherein Dante and Gio interacted and had a difference of opinion -- or something. I don't know. I do know that this crushing rant that blames everything on Gio is absurd. -- Reading over all the comments here about characters and couples, it's kind of amazing that we have any show left considering the number of times actors and writers and execs were given influence to make major character and story decisions. Too many cooks in the kitchen.
    • Lol. But Jeffrey was weak to mama. Leslie can go dead because anger is a great motivator via Martin defending HIS mama and just not taking ish altogether. This ain't how it should be. They need not run the show like this. It's too noticeable. The way Eva said mama reminded me of Penny from Good Times. Instead of physical abuse it's mental abuse.
    • Oh, I see! You posted this on the general retro soap thread because of the voiceover.
    • Yeah, I agree. It's part of the reason I have shade picked on Martin's Secret being so on the backburner that it was about to fall off of it. With Dani/Bill/Hayley being the main tale to start us off and backburned and the SilkPress storyline being well paced, but not set to explode until May, Martin's Secret was the other main storyline that could have been developed. And after giving it a nice slow burn to start off, the story upped and vanished in Month 2. That left the show having to rely on mostly B/C stories to stay afloat to various degrees of success.
