B&B: Week of June 30th


Recommended Posts

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.

    • I don't think so, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was Dumas this whole time.
    • Tamara Tunie was serving up grand dame diva fierceness.
    • Nick told Victoria that he and Sharon had married in England.  Victoria was shocked.  Then she realized he was kidding.  He confirmed it was a joke and they're platonic. I don't even know what to say about that.
    • It's funny you say that because part of the entertainment of the trials on the show are all the day players who come on as witnesses and jurors.  I'm certain it was like the Law and Order of its time. It employed so many New York actors, that if you look close enough, there's usually someone vaguely recognizable in the courtroom.
    • I will defend Dante.  People already suspect he may be a bit unstable from time to time (from his time as a prisoner).  And, he's taking care of other people's kids from time to time.  So, he has reason to be cautious with those in his care.
    • Josh continues to try and milk Abbott/Newman rivalry. First it was Billy/Victoria, then Kyle/Summer, then Noah/Allie (that worked out well) and now Kyle/Claire. Do we have any inkling when Billy Flynn will arrive and who he will play? I'm sure Cole's illness will mostly play offscreen. What's in store for Nick and Sharon? Is it time to put them back together? I can't see any other romantic options. Nick has no children on the canvas to play off, as Christian is never seen. Sharon has only Mariah onscreen.
    • I would appreciate (if they're not coming), for future scripts to refer to them by their iconic hairdos.  For example, if Hope needs to call Chelsea because Bo has Sepsis, I'd like Shawn-D to say, "My Mom called Chelsea (the one with the sassy short black hair) for an update." Also, new rule, if Melanie does return, she needs to dye her hair back to red.  I googled who she was five times during Victor's funeral.

    • Broderick, thank you for all of the info [I edited for space]. I am so grateful for everyone filling in the blanks for me. I suspected the Nora/Eliot scene was very important and it was setting something up but I didn't know what. Can't wait to see it play out. The two actors had such a great back and forth. I should have made the Paige/Patty Hearst connection. I thought Paige was in love with Brian from the first episode I watched but it seemed as if they were brother and sister. Steve kept being affectionate with her so I assumed he was the love interest. Then she was affectionate with someone else and well..she's a very busy woman. I can't wait to see Frances Fisher show up. (I'm trying to be vague because I don't know what would be a spoiler in this storyline) Now it makes sense why Draper would be upset. I didn't get the whole background of why he didn't go to NY. I'm a sucker for good acting, so I might still side with April and Margo, if the writers don't give Draper more to do besides yelling.  He had more chemistry with Logan, but I know that's not happening.  Something else I noticed: the show really takes care with even the smallest parts. The acting is superb. Too often, I noticed on older soaps they don't take care with the recurring or day players (Ryan's Hope was so bad with this that I couldn't make it through some episodes). It's only been six episodes, but so far, the casting department was spot on.
    • I thought Dante was overreacting.  Gio made some mistakes but he's young and he tried.  It's not like he dragged two 14 years to a party and made them get blackout drunk.  Dante can have the initial upset reaction, but to go on and on was a bit much.  
    • His (adoptive) nieces.  Chelsea and Stephanie.  I think Abby was involved too, but I am not sure if they are related lol.
