I know but I was hoping the show was finally done with this disastrous pairing. As much as I disliked her and Marcus, I was hoping they'd reunite if only to make it harder for Rick to move back in. I didnt expect Steffy to forgive and forget this soon

SOD claims they are casting

Bill's son

, as a new love interest for

Steffy

. And the return of "Sick" is clearly just a device, at this point, to break up Ridge and Brooke.

Yawn.

I think it's only a matter of time before Donna gets tired of "Honey Bear" and decides to go after Bill.

Ew.

Bill/Brooke would be so much better than Bill/Donna.

You say that as if one precludes the other. On this show it just makes the other more likely. :lol:

Well, I kind of assumed it would be Bill/Brooke. Now, I think it will be Bill/Katie, because this week

Katie leaves Nick

, and I saw Katie/Bill together in a preview. For Brooke, I'm pretty sure it's gonna be

Whip

. Which is cool because...longer term...I'm pretty sure Deacon will come back. And Deacon's chemistry with

Whip

(not sexual) was off the charts.

Do you guys think Bill/Brooke/Whip might work?

Really? Because I think in the next 12-18 months it's going to be Bill/Donna Bill/Brooke Bill/Katie Bill/Bridget Bill/Taylor.

Whip

/Brooke

Whip

/Katie

Whip

/Donna

Whip

/Bridget /

Whip

Taylor. Not necessarily in that order. After all, they still have to fit in many of those women doing some time with Nik/Ridge/Owen. ^_^

Might put

Whip

in spoiler tags. Just sayin'

Bill and

Whip

as lovers? Nah. Though

Whip

looked very good in lingerie.

Lemme say Brad Bell should never have fired him, but I am so delighted to be stealing

Was there supposed to be some sort of message in contrasting Jackie/Owen and Bill/Donna? Around the time the latter story starts, Jackie/Owen goes from being a hot love affair to Jackie being a pathetic old woman who has to blackmail a young stud into sex. Meanwhile, Bill is naturally such a stud (and DD is definitely a stud!) that what could be seen as sexual harassment from a man towards a younger woman is instead passed off as flirting.

Thanks for the reminder. I can't believe I did that.

B&B keeps bringing on all these new men to the show and Felicia still remains babysitting Dino. Why cant she at least get laid?

I totally agree. There is unfinished business with Nick. Maybe she could get involved in a triangle with Nick and

Bridget, now that Katie is leaving him

I'd personally like to see Brooke and Felicia spar over

Whip

At this point, I'd rather see Felicia have a terminal recurrence of her cancer...and enjoy six strong months of out-of-the-park storyline...than this languishing.

I always thought they should have done something more with Felicia and Nick but not much was done after Lesli Kay took the role. He could have been built up to be her recurring leading man much like Ridge is for Taylor and Brooke. But that didnt happen. Oh well.

I really like your idea of having Brooke and Felicia fight. It would be refreshing to see Brooke have another female to go up against besides Taylor and Stephanie. Battling Macy did wonders bc it was different. Felicia desperately needs the attention bc they only use her every few months to whine about her parents not being together

Those Bill and Donna scenes were kind of interesting. So far, I like Bill Jr.

Agreed, I think Blake became a woman who learned from her mistakes and grew up. I too wanted them to be the core couple after the Tori thing, as a matter of fact, around Wheeler after Simon left I wanted them to move into the Bauer house..( I would have Blake say that this is the closet thing she knew as a home )SORAS the kids, and bring Sam back..Dinah would have a very contentious relationship with her, as she would be jealous of Ross and Sam's relationship, and Blake and Dinah would have that tension (ya, know cause she killed his brother) it would be a core family that had some fissures leading to good drama. But now, Wheeler and company though the Coopers should be the core.

BTG: December 2025 Discussion Thread

Agree that great minds can think alike :)
In terms of Derek, I see the show doing one of two things based on the most recent episodes that featured him.
1) They do the gradual fade-out of the character until he stops appearing and is occasionally mentioned by Jacob (i.e. still living and existing in town, just not being seen). We saw some evidence with him having a group of co workers he's friends with, plus a female co worker interested in him... so possibly we see him regain his walking and go back to his life with the Fire crew and eventually we stop seeing them on air.
2) His mentioning to Jacob that he hopes to win Ashley back signals that perhaps the dark side we saw glimpses of has been hidden and will rear itself if she appears to be moving on with a new guy.
In terms of Ashley, the show seems committed to keeping her character on the show especially since she was shown in the Thanksgiving episode having a quiet day with Jan and Mona as they discuss Black Friday shopping, food, and other day to day matters... so I think delving into her backstory in terms of who her father is would be a good place for the show to go while keeping her as a good friend to Naomi, Shanice, and a good nurse during medical stories.
Perhaps one of the children of the handsome new doctor could be her love interest down the line.

Re: 1978. I'm glad the unedited version of the episode complete with commercials is available. The one that has been posted several years ago had several segments missing. I like Barbara's long hair here. Dr. Steven Farrell didn't last very long I take it since she is re-connecting with Tom (Tom Tammi) by 1979. The actor playing Steven (Phil Peters) was the real-life husband of Lenore Kasdorf (Rita GL).

Oh, how I wish we'd gotten to see Ross deal with his teenage sons. I loved his relationships with Phillip and Sam, but he really deserved to be seen with his own kids (other than the horror that became Dinah). The boys simply disappeared off canvas after either the Nursery Stalker or the affair with Tori.

What I liked about Bloss is that I liked how they grew to be the stable couple- the closest to an Ed and Mo in their prime. Especially after the Tori story when their extra-marital exploits were in the past. I wanted them to SORAS the three kids, along with Dinah and with Phillip's family as Ross's extended family would really be solid core family material.
With that said, I was rooting against Bloss in 1999 as I really liked the Ross/India pairing-- but that just turned out to be a waste of MKA.

They did reveal Austin's shooter...about a year and a half later.

They did actually resolve who shot Austin over a year later (it was Cyrus, as part of his hasty exit story). That was a last minute save though clearly when they forgot lol.

Talkin' 'Bout TV Movies

I love those old TV movies, especially the ones from the 70's and 80's. The ABC movie of the week had a ton of them. Like
Satan's School for Girls (1973)
All My Darling Daughter's (1972)
Gidget Gets Married (1972)
The Girl Who Came Gift Wrapped (1974)
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979)
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)
Death Cruise (1974)
Here is the 70's ABC opening. The theme music "Nikki" was composed by Burt Bacharach and named for his daughter with Angie Dickinson.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

The return of sitcoms' popularity in the mid-'80s was a real thing, but the crash of the wealth-based nighttime soap genre was resonate and self-induced.

There was an effectively grim finality to the mood of the cliffhangers in the Spring of 1985: Bobby's death, the Moldavian massacre, the return of Val's babies... and they felt as if they could have ended right there (and perhaps they should have, although I would have sorely missed S10 of Dallas, S6 of FC, and Season 9 of Dynasty , and the next five years of KNOTS as they singularly maintained quality).

But, wow, these shows just fell apart post-Spring 1985. They stopped being character dramas after a while, and just started trying to "impress" viewers in some superficial way and to "fake it" somehow.

What a painful, unnecessary slide it was. But once these shows seemed to lose their identities, their sense of self, their momentum into the dung heap couldn't be slowed.
