B&B: Week of April 27, 2009

[Cashton]

Awww...attack me!! LOL

[Jeff]

Is that an invitation?

[y&r_fan]

I see. For some reason I always thought DF was female.

Actor bashing is okay here. In fact you can say pretty much anything as long as you're agreeing with 'the majority'. If you're disagreeing with 'the majority' they'll call you a troll and accuse you of agenda pushing.

I don't get all the Tylo bashing either. I'm going to be a troll and say I think she's better than Lang.

[JackPeyton]

LOL

There is nothing in the rules about actor bashing, so i assume its OK.

It was very nice to see Stephanie share some scenes with "Caroline" again. I didn't care for Karen the first time around, but these scenes reminded me of classic B&B. This show could use a sophisticated lady (yes, Karen ) who hasn't been involved with every single guy on the show.

It seems like Brad Bell loves the ChildrenWantTheirParentsBack storyline. Whether it is Ridge, Thorne and Felicia or Thomas and Steffy. BTW Thomas and Steffy acted like little kids in their scenes with Ridge and Taylor.

Brooke should get out of the house more often. She has started reminding me of the nineties version of Nikki Newman, who NEVER left the ranch. Brooke should be more like Jill Foster Abbott or Alexis Colby by now, not like a teenager in love. She has lost her brains and I am sure that she created BeLieF by mistake

It looks like Brad Bell isn't interested in Hunter Tylo at all. He gave the Rick storyline to Steffy, turned her into a Taylor clone and now he brought Karen (as a matter of fact Caroline) to remind to the viewers who Ridge's true love always has been.

They had that with Ashley. I still miss her on B&B.

[Sapounopera]

It broke my heart to watch ASHLEY ABBOTT get involved in a triangle with Ridge and Brooke. She was indeed very good for the show, but the show was not very good for/to her.

[DRW50]

From what I saw of her stories on B&B, they weren't great, but they were much more suited for her character than the umpteenth version of "I need Victor/am I crazy?" she has on Y&R now.

[MarkH]

Bravo. I agree. Except the show did restore flirty sexiness to her that I feel she has brought back to Y&R. So that was one benefit.

Ashley on Y&R is always closer to the edge of nervous breakdown, eh? I do believe, though, at the END of this we'll have a stronger Ashley who is past her girlish dreams (Victor!) and will be ready for her first bona fide mature relationship.

[sheilaforever]

B&B brought Ashley back from the dead literally.

One minute in L.A. she sported make-up, hair and wordrobe absolutely fitting her character unlike the previous years on Y&R. She was extremely flirtatous and full of strength. Hated her involvement with RIck, though, but loves her with Ridge (Ronn Moss was more than decent in that pairing...) and the rivalry with Brooke - as long as it became obvious that Brad would soon turn the tables and reunite Bridge for absouteky no reason.

[MarkH]

Okay, so it is entertaining enough to see Stephanie, cat-that-ate-canary, bait Brooke as she sees her chance.

But good lord....TRULY....the exact same story for 22 years!!!

When do they stop going to the well? If Taylor were truly Stephanie's successor as "moral center" (is Steph forgetting what a basket case she's been these last years??), she'd know that Ridge FEELS committed to Brooke, Taylor still shouldn't go after him.

Taylor is no better than Brooke.

And Stephanie, trying to remove the Logans, kind of puts the lie to her assertion to Eric earlier in the week, that she wants nothing more from him. That is irreconcilable with her desire to remain the "matriarch".

This show

[DeeeDee]

Really?

[Y&RWorldTurner]

You honestly think Don Diamont will make it any better?

[MarkH]

Of course not.

I'm just happy, quite frankly, that Don gets a soft landing.

And I think his toro-vs-toro scenes with Ridge will be a riot.

Clearly, as they are positioning Ridge and Brooke apart, no matter what they say ("...paired with

..."), Bill Jr. and Ridge and Brooke and Taylor are gonna mix it up. And the one set of scenes I'm gonna like is Don and Ridge snarling at each other. It's kinda like wrestling .

There was a spumor that Bill Jr. would be

.

[y&r_fan]

Yep.

Not that Lang is bad, of course. She just has some annoying habits, like that babyish voice she does around Ridge.
