Members sheilaforever Posted April 29, 2009 Members Share Posted April 29, 2009 Just saw HER. Joanna Johnson is marvellous. What a flawless return to the acting front. Her scenes with Susan Flannery today should be even more powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted April 29, 2009 Members Share Posted April 29, 2009 The "plot-plot-plot" of this insta-son, Bill Jr., doesn't bother you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rakesh Posted April 29, 2009 Members Share Posted April 29, 2009 LMAO @ the will reading. Too funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted April 29, 2009 Members Share Posted April 29, 2009 I already b*tched about that when the news broke. And will again when Bill. Jr. insta-arrives and is insta-thrown in a love traingle which if the rumored one happens will fail me by a mile. Right now I relive the glory of Joanna Johnson, great ladies acting - once a B&B trademark - and good old days. So what is the will about: I only know that both CLARKE (Brad actually remembers his history?) and DONNA are involved. Can't wait to see this episode and should get great - and campy.

Members MarkH Posted April 29, 2009 Members Share Posted April 29, 2009 Good attitude. Joanna is a nice change of pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted April 29, 2009 Members Share Posted April 29, 2009 Honestly, I don't know why they bothered with the reading of Bill's will. I guess it was supposed to be amusing, but it fell flat. The real laugh of the day was Taylor declaring that she wasn't going to chase after Ridge because he was married. Yeah...right. And am I supposed to know what CuckooPam is all cuckoo over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted April 29, 2009 Members Share Posted April 29, 2009 I almost get the sense that this came together in a 2-day sitch. "We can get Joanna on Friday--but ONLY on Friday." So, this was hastily penned and shoehorned in. I mean, otherwise why not mention Bill for the last few weeks...have Stephanie express some worries, etc. And so many potentially important people were missing from the will reading. Honestly, Clark is recurring and I'll bet Gareis just had a guaranteed episode to use up -- plus the "empty vessel" criticism was there for Stephanie to lap up like a spoon. It felt slapdash. I was happy to see Joanna, but I always have a hard time putting the rest of my brain in "park"...even on a day like today, when I'm drugged to the gills and I can't breathe through my nose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted April 29, 2009 Members Share Posted April 29, 2009 ^^^and another thing that ticked me off--Karen asks about Ridge, but not Thorne. As if we don't have enough people in LA focused on Ridge's love life, now even the visitors have to inquire about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted April 29, 2009 Members Share Posted April 29, 2009 Excellent point...because Karen's history was almost entirely with Thorne. This d*mn show. Not even DaytimeFan here anymore to keep encouraging me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted April 30, 2009 Members Share Posted April 30, 2009 Brooke and Ridge are NOT married! Had to get that out again since the show seems to forget What was Bill's history with Stephanie? Were they an item or something? Can someone explain to me how Karen fits into this family? Was she some long lost sister of Caroline or was she raised with her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted April 30, 2009 Members Share Posted April 30, 2009 I seem to think you are right, but didn't they say they would run to city hall or something and legalize it? Friends and co-manipulators...never romantic. Stephanie wanted Bill's daughter, Caroline, to be Ridge's wife. Over the years, when Ridge was a playboy or when he was involved with Brooke, Bill really hated Ridge. In addition, Bill had his own dramas (running a nudie magazine that Donna got "tricked" into posing for; romantic triangle with Margo and Clark). Years after Caroline died, "Faith", a brunette country-style waitress in a diner was discovered (I want to say by Taylor's ex, Blake Hayes...but I can't remember). Anyway, she came to town, and it was revealed that when Caroline was a baby, her twin was abducted. They tried to keep Karen "country-fied", but then when that wasn't really working, they quickly dyed her hair blonde again, she lost the country accent. The lady we saw yesterday was basically "Caroline", except in name. We have NEVER heard of this Bill Jr. before. He is completely a retcon.

Members P.J. Posted April 30, 2009 Members Share Posted April 30, 2009 Sigh...as stupid as I think Brooke is continuing to defend Rick, is it any wonder why she feels guilty about his problems??? She's had both Stephanie and TAYLOR THE PSYCHIATRIST in her face for 25 friggin' years telling her his problems were completely, entirely, unarguably her fault. Not to mention her troubles with Bridget. Forget that both Steph and Taylor had agendas in blaming his upbringing on her and not Eric or Ridge, since they'd defend their men at the time to the teeth. Who, exactly does Taylor blame for Thomas' sudden whack-job personality? I really don't understand---I thought the marriage on the beach wasn't legal in the first place. What's the crap with the marriage license? Oh....nevermind, Pammy kind of explained it. But, shouldn't they have mentioned some trip for a civil ceremony? Or did I skip that week?

Members BadZoe Posted April 30, 2009 Members Share Posted April 30, 2009 They really shouldn't show Taylor flashbacks, it just goes to show how badly she's plasticing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
