I still think he won't last long. Unlike Wagner, Diamont was never on a successful primetime show, and Wagner is definitely a bigger mainstream name than Diamont will ever be.

I expect to hear by August that he's dropped to recurring, either that, or he'll be on the backburner by then.

I just hope he lasts long enough to turn my mother off completely. B&B is a waste of time.

Not surprising news. Fabulous all the same.

This news has made my mom decide to quit B&B.

LOL. Too much thunder thighs and chicken dancing, huh?

I knew Badley wouldn't let Diamont get too far away. I'm glad he's not playing Brad Carlton as well.

Why? Heather Tom was there too when Eileen was still on.

Because by that time, Victoria was already being played by Amelia Heinle and shared many scenes with ED's Ashley. So it wasn't a stretch.

I like that Don Diamont is NOT going to play Brad Carlton.

I think this will definitely energize the cast and stories. I just hope Brad Bell really gets his thinking cap on for these entrances.

Me too. Color me excited. B&B is going back on my DVR for the first time in YEARS!

But but but...

Have you seen Diamont with that beard? He is a new work of art! Who thought he could be EVEN MORE handsome?

I haven't. You must point me in the way of a pic of bearded Don. I can't imagine I'll like him better with his face hidden by all that hair. Prove me wrong.

He's probably Taylor's new love interest.

Perish the thought. They better keep my Don FAR away from Taylor. I'm not tuning back in to see that sh!t. Let him sizzle with Felicia........or Brooke.

Not surprising news. Fabulous all the same.

Fabulous doesn't even cover it. I'm elated that Don so quickly found a new home. And people thought I was crazy for posting that Where should Don go now? thread. For shame. Glad to see he's landing on his feet. Can't WAIT to see what B&B does with him!

OMG! OMG, OMG, OMG!!!!

Ashley was never married to Victoria.

Well, of course she wasn't. I just said it was weird seeing them on-screen together, but with HT playing a different character. That's all.

I haven't. You must point me in the way of a pic of bearded Don. I can't imagine I'll like him better with his face hidden by all that hair. Prove me wrong.

Don Diamont AND Joanna Johnson?!

OK, trynottogetexcited. Trynottogetexcited. You know Brad is going to mess this up. They'll be on 3 weeks before being hastily written off. And poor Lesli Kay won't get one minute's worth of airtime with DD. Junior will probs be a Bridge spoiler.

Still, little squeee! And the thought of la Flannery and JJ in scenes together? Double squee!

See, it's moments like this that I wish I wrote B&B. Because the business storyline between the Spencers, Stephanie, Felicia, Thorne (and yes, Ridge and Brooke, I s'pose) basically writes itself. Stephanie molding Felicia into a fierce business negotiator... but also becoming friends with Karen, like she once did with Caroline. Not to mention that JJ also lifts Ronn Moss, if that's even possible. Not to mention the Bill Jr/Felicia chemistry test! Ok I'm going to stop now before I actually get invested again.

You also handily picked a shot enabling a pre- and post-beard comparison! Thanks, MarkH.

IMO, hot without. Hot with.

That shirt needs to be burned, though.

Don is a GOD, beard or no beard. As for the shirt- burned, ripped, disintegrated, whatever. It just needs to be off, stat! I'm sure B&B will exploit his body the way Y&R should have been (and used to!).

But then poor Don would have to go shirtless..... B&B has a history of putting their men into speedos too....that would be, somehow, humiliating for him.

Junior will probs be a Bridge spoiler.

BITE. YOUR. TONGUE.

Well, Kyle Lowder and Brandon Beemer appear to be doing 70% of their scenes shirtless these days. I never knew LA in March could be so balmy.

DD could definitely show them who is Lion King around here. Board meeting by the pool? No problem. Dictation in the steam room? Fine.

OK, I'm going to stop now because, no joke, this is making me want to tune in. And I know Bradley Bell is going to f*ck this up! Must. Fight. Urge.

Oh, bellcurve. You were thinking it. More importantly, you know Brad is thinking it.

Honestly, I love me KKL but I wish you-know-what-rhymes-with-Smidge were off the show. They suffocate it.
