B&B: Week of May 11, 2009

[MarkH]

LMAO. Stephanie's video blog REALLY is online ! It is posted by the show, i.e., EyeonFashion

[MarkH]

How did they INSTANTLY turn Jackie from a vaguely charming cougar into something this....

VILE

That slithering serpent, all up in Owen's moobs, threatening him...telling him to f*ck her or get fired....yech yech yech.

I hope she now plunges to her death from Sally's window.

She EVEN insulted Sally today...regarding the steam room ("Sally let this turn to rust and rot...").

[ranger1rg]

changing jackie's character so dramatically is just more brad bell CRAP.

how many characters has he ruined to service a storyline that lasts all of 3 weeks???

the stephanie webcast might be fun, but that doesn't work for me, either. these people complain constantly about bad press, about their reputations, about protecting their families from the media -- and then stuff like this where big steph not only destroys forrester, but destroys her own reputation.

and why would ANYONE take stephanie's word on FASHION? with that hefty bag no color pantsuit she wears?

[YRBB]

I don't mind Jackie blackmailing Owen all that much just because she's blackmailing him. What I don't like is how it relates to the beginning of this storyline, since Jackie was obviously very hesitant of starting the affair with Owen... but it's Bell, I guess. Also, this turn was so sudden, so unreasonable, so... unearned. But, it does wonders for Owen, it paints him as a sad piece of meat, who's trying to get somebody to listen to him and he can't.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Jackie = Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Cheap21]

I know its not close, but Jackie is bordering on rape with me. I liked the affair until it clearly became one of sexual harassment. She is dead wrong

[Juliajms]

I hate the way B&B turns on a dime. The whole hot older woman/younger guy was working. Then they had to change it into this nonsense. I cannot imagine Jackie wanting to be with a guy who doesn't want to be with her. Or should I say, I can't imagine her forcing him into it. Is there any bigger turnoff for a woman than knowing the guy who is shagging you would rather not!!? I don't think so.

And again, this is LA. If Jackie feels the need to have sex with some 20 something Owen is not the only fish in the sea. Not when you are rich. If you are willing to blackmail someone into it, why not just hire an escort?

[sheilaforever]

OMG - so I guess they don't have a product placement deal with Apple. Take that Steve Jobbs!

[JackPeyton]

Jackie must DIE.

[miajere]

Today had to be the funniest episode in a long time. Rick with that youtube video of Phoebe. Was that done by a fan of the show? The song, the photoshopped family photos....(shakes head)

[MarkH]

Okay, I guess I will have to watch it now...

[YRBB]

Yes, I want to watch just to see that!

[miajere]

Please do. None of it made sense.

"I'm a changed man," says Rick and to drive this point home he gives her this bizarre video.

Your sister is dead and her ex, your ex, has decided to make a video "Youtube style" for you to appreciate the time you had with her. Then comes the video, and the music starts and you're just laughing because you don't care, and they (the actors) are pretending to care.... It was the opposite of over acting, and it made me extremely uncomfortable.

[MarkH]

Yes, it was as horrible as you say. I literally feel whiplashed from being dragged from plot twist to plot twist.

Shouldn't there be a "who shot Rick" storyline coming soon?

[YRBB]

You think there won't be?
