NO, NO, NO!!!! This isn't looking good for Ashley. Dang-nabbit.

It looks like in addition to adding the new folk, they also update a few shots in the opening. I noticed Taylor's part has been updated and she looks really good.

I'm still watching the show, so I'll post more later. Okay, commercials over! What the ... OMG, is that the Crypt Keeper sucking Bridget's face!?!?!?! Oh, nevermind, false alarm, it's just Nick! BWAHAHAHA!!!

1. Brandon Beemer would be in my list of current favorite soap hunks, he's hot, I wouldn't mind being locked in a steamroom with him! B)B). B&B badly needs sexy new male characters, it's ludicrous that Ridge and Nick are supposedly the only desirable men in LA LOL :lol: So, I'm interested to see how Owen fits into the SLs and which woman he's paired with.

2. Eileen Davidson? She might as well go back to Y&R, Bell obviously doesn't want to write for the Ashley character

3. I'm tired of Nick, isn't it time Jack Wagner had an extended vacation?

4. Can we please have a break from "The KATIE SHOW"?

5. I want to see Susan Flannery, KKL, Hunter Tylo all back on the frontburner, with their own SLs.

I so do not like the quick-cuts-across-LA on B&B! This is a soap opera, not The Hills!

The only story I'm interested in right now is with Owen/Marcus/Steffy. More of them please.

I don't know how I quite feel about the quick cut aways of LA between scenes.

Like the growing relationship between Marcus and Steffy. Just a plus for me that Owen is going to be mixed into this story. :wub:

Getting bored with the Katie Show.

Rewatched the new opening....

There's a new shot of Hunter Tylo with longer hair. Looks more like she does now instead of when it was short when she came back. They should've done one for Kyle Lowder too. Ugh to his long hair.

Thanks for posting the opening! YouTube is just a godsend.

Why was Owen following Donna instead of Marcus?

If they couldn't film a shot for Hunter Tylo that looked as vibrant and pretty as her last one, they shouldn't have replaced it. She looks almost dead with that harsh lighting on her, and that bedhead hair. A mess!

I see they did the Bridget/Nick/Katie grouping in the opening.

Thorne and Felicia really just get bounced around ANYWHERE in this opening, don't they.

NOT looking good for Ashley. I am honestly STUNNED that with the fanfare that they took her into the show, she has been so unceremoniously phased out. Stunned. Even if she's popped back in as a placeholder like Clarke usually is, it's a disrespect to a great actress that SHOULD be one of the leading ladies on the show.

I understand them not wanting to break up the Stephanie/Eric/Brooke/Ridge at the start of the opening, but the story is not necessarily there to support it. If anything, they should START with Stephanie/Eric, and END with Ridge/Brooke.

I think this order would have made more sense:

Stephanie

Eric

Donna

Marcus*

Steffy*

Taylor*

Rick

Phoebe

Owen*

Bridget

Dominick

Katie

Beth*

Stephen

Jacqueline

Thorne

Felicia

Ridge

Brooke

I guess I'm just a big fan of "bookending" an opening sequence with the core characters. Starting with someone iconic, and ending with someone iconic... symmetry, balance, etc. Like AMC starts and ends with Erica, and in previous formats started with Adam, ended with Erica, or started with Joe/Ruth and ended with Erica. I always thought OLTL should start with Dorian and end with Viki, since they are always so opposed and the antithesis of each other.

And the Eric/Donna thing doesn't seem to be going away, so I don't think it would need that much updating.

I'm wondering what Owen's agenda is! I was only half-watching the show today, but I kept looking for the subtext in the Donna/Marcus/Owen interaction.

I was kind of thinking they were going to pull a switch and make Owen Donna's real son, but I would think Donna would know if her son was born black or not. That would be a pretty major switch.

Isn't Texas Battle the first African American to appear in this format of the B&B opening sequence?

I think the font size doesn't quite match either.

ETA: I am SHOCKED Ashley was missing. I didn't believe it when I read it...but there are 19 players there, and not Eileen. Since Patrick Duffy won't be there long, maybe Eileen will drop in there? This is really an insult to such a major actress and the fans who treasure her.

    • I mean, he is but he's also still an ásshole.
    • The most beautiful thing about getting into a new soap opera is getting to know the characters yourself and figuring everything out slowly. And EON is one of the easiest when it comes to that. Pretty soon you are so well oriented in who is who and what are their motivations. I only struggled with the episodes before Mansion of the damned started.  Then after that it's pretty smooth sailing.    
    • I don't hate Hayley but she would absolutely cry about falling for Jacob.
    • @BroderickThank you for the reply. Such acting that they Sharon Gabet and the actor playing Draper still played their relationship after it's over. I picked up on it even though I had no idea about their history. That's such good acting/continuity.  Raven has just moved to London and a custody battle is now brewing for Jamey.
    • Ha-ha-ha, I thought it was Marland who turned Mike into a jerk, but apparently not. I get that they probably felt the Mike/Leslie story had run its course, but they should have at least let them have a kid. Especially since they were soon ensnaring him in a storyline with a woman who couldn't have children (Elizabeth). Of course, no one could have predicted there would be a dearth of Bauers a few years later. I remember this! I remember Holly sitting by the phone, desperate for Ed to call so they could stop the divorce. I forgot it was Rita who never gave him the message. What a bitch.

       But, yeah, this is the Rita I remember at the beginning: very determined to bag Ed. I contend that Holly never, ever got over it, never stopped regretting that the divorce went through. I wish at some point over the years they had let Holly and Ed reunite for more than a brief affair. It feels like a thread that was left hanging. There she is! I was beginning to think I had dreamed up the Rita/Tim/Evie triangle.
    • In the interview posted on knotslanding.net, William Devane described the Greg/Paige storyline as "juvenile".  From that interview I also got the impression that William Devane was on his way out near the end so he wouldn't have returned if there was a season 15.
    • Just started this show. I’m on episode 3. I’m starting to make the connections and understand the family tree better. Still will take time to fully understand everything but it’s exciting. So glad we have a new soap opera in 2025! Excited to join the discussion once I’m caught up.
    • Haley and Jacob had more chemistry in their small interaction than I ever saw between Naomi and Jacob. Same with Haley and Derek actually - that was one of the few times I can recall Derek ever having any life in him. 
    • -- Anita going through Ted and Nicole's wedding album. Really??? -- Dani defending Ted in her conversation with Nicole. Really??? -- Bill wants a child with Hayley. Really??? -- Many people are saying "Dana can't be Eva's mother" because of the way Dana treats her. Maybe she's not her mother, but that biological connection has nothing to do with it. Dana has functioned as Eva's mother all of her life. There's no reason to believe giving birth to her makes the difference. -- Hayley is hilarious for being so clueless and tone deaf when she comments on others' mistakes and flaws. God, she's dumb. -- Alex Alegria continues to suck as Tomas. Soooooo wooden. -- Ambyr Michelle stole the episode.
