Now this is unexpected although Brad sure needs a co-head right now.

I'm extatic because B&B is at its last straw with me these days but Sylph is gonna hate this beyond words. ;)

A BOLD Promotion

BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL scribe Kay Alden will now share the title of head writer with Executive Producer Bradley Bell. Alden had written for YOUNG AND RESTLESS since 1974 and was let go in 2006, but snapped up by B&B. Both shows were created by Bell's parents William and Lee Bell. Their son was a former writer for Y&R and was named associate producer of B&B in 1989, then supervising producer in 1992. The following year, Bell took over head writing reins from his dad and also became executive producer in 1995.

Hopefully Alden will restore pacing and sense to L.A. - this is my dream writing team pairing. I hope it will pan out - if it doesn't I guess all blame will be on me. :P

Eh. I'm sure I'll be corrected, but I don't think much will change. She's pretty much been the head writer since she came on. I don't think the viewers will see much of a difference in the show from what it's been for the last seven months.

Oh just great. Now Alden can finish turn B&B into an even more boring Logan/Katie show. She SUCKS as a headwriter. She has to been reigned in. Well, at least Alden will have the honor of being pivotal in the destruction of the quality of both Bell soaps.

OMFG

And I never use that expression!

I don't know whether to be delighted (the Bell-loyalist in me is) or dismayed (the watcher of the show since she joined it is).

WHAT has motivated Brad to agree to this? I'm beyond shocked. Was he pushed, or is he tired?

Where is Jack Smith now? Still consulting?

Writing scripts, I thought he would be the one promoted too. He was B&B's Co-HW for years (while continuing his duties at Y&R).

Not that I'm necessarily a Smith fan, but Bradley should send his ass back to Y&R. He can resume the Executive Producer duties, if they're indeed looking for a new EP or be an Executive Story Consultant or something. A lot of the writers on the B&B staff are wasted and would be better back at Y&R, their original home base.

      OK, I like the Cat interactions with Xander and EJ. And, I get that there are new writers. But, Clyde was shot 12/11/2024, why have we not heard Xander or EJ's response to the situation for five months!  Clyde shot EJ (or he ordered him shot), shouldn't he react more to the news of his coma.  And, I've never heard EJ or Kristin mention that the woman who lived with them last summer was a fraud. Rather than giving lip service to the idea of family and community, at least it feels like everyone no longer lives in a bubble.

      DAYS/GH: RIP Denise Alexander

      I don't know if I could have seen that from her, honestly. But I feel like, outside of GH and her original DAYS stint, American daytime really didn't pay much attention to her, even though they should have.

      Co-sign, 100% on this one. Xander was entirely in the wrong.

      I'm seeing some interesting takes on this thread regarding Dani's behavior/personality, including right now. Here's my take on her: I think that Dani relishes in lighting people up. I think that's for multiple reasons.  I feel like Dani has probably largely been like this throughout her life. And that she gets joy in dragging people whenever she feels like it's necessary. I believe she feels like this is her being herself. I think one big reason why she's particularly giddy right now is because she's able to go back to acting this way, minus the hurt she's been dealing with due to Bill's affair. She got in Bill and Hayley's faces after their affair/wedding, but she was miserable doing it due to dealing with the hurt of that situation. Nicole's situation with Ted/Eva/Leslie allows her to act this way minus her suffering like she did at the hands of Bill. I believe she does empathize/care for her sister but is also interestingly enough rejuvenated by this situation. This situation is energizing her and making her act more like old self again, minus being hurt by her own's husband's infidelity. I think Nicole's situation is also a distraction for her from dealing with her own failed marriage to Bill.

      Great episode, better than what the spoilers said. The gambling story was tolerable but Jon Lindstrom sucks in the role. Ambyr Michelle continues to shine. The diner and country club scenes were very well executed.  The Jan and Leslie scenes were very good! My favorite is Eva, now followed by Nicole.

      Today's show was good. The only part I didn't care for were the Derek/Ashley scenes. I think they are bland together and Derek is very bland by himself. He is the least interesting character on the show IMO. I don't think they have much chemistry together. I appreciated Jan's reaction to Leslie. I like how regular/realistic her and Mona are as characters. Jan came across as very believable of being appalled and even hurt by Leslie's treatment of them and towards Eva in the diner.  Leslie continues to try and manipulate people with IMO her fake caring routine, only to show her true colors after she's confronted/called out for her treatment of others. I continue to dislike the way she mistreats Eva. Speaking of Eva she was great again today. I love her and I like how Martin comforted her in the diner. I liked that Vernon showed concern for her as well. They (especially Martin) will come around quicker to her before others (like the Dupree women) will. I also am glad to see her and Ted continue to bond and him behaving like a father towards her/helping her. He's the only one in her life who is fully trying to stand by her. I look forward to seeing their relationship grow.

      Xander was screaming at Felicity.  He did do something wrong.  Felicity was clearly upset by it and Cat/Chad told him to stop.  That's fair.  No one deserves to be yelled at their job-and even I think this plot point is too preachy.  It's not acceptable behavior for anyone to do that.

      When Derek finally appears with only a towel, and his chest and pecs/nipples are finally shown, I say yes.

      Now, actually not. That thought had not even made it into my head, so, no, so far anyway, I've not seen that. Haven't seen today yet. What you're describing is warped & I think she's feeling genuine empathy & sister bond.
