B&B: Week of May 18, 2009

Regarding Hunter Tylo's looks:

I think that she is still a very very beautiful woman. I doupt that if she entered a bar or a restaurant the men would say "Poor thing, she looks horrible". :lol:

My problem with her looks is that she looks like a Brooke not a Taylor :) Taylor should look like a Sarah McIntyre or a Marlena Evans not an Ava Rescott. But Hunter is a gorgeous woman.

Bill has done wonders for B&B, let's hope that they don't do to him what they have done to Nick. I love charming a****les on soaps (and in real life-lol) and B&B could use one of those. What do we know about Bill's mother? Would Brad Bell be crazy enough to make him Stephanie's son? Is there really anything for Ridge to do on this show?

Chris Engen would make a great Rick Forrester. He looks like Eric and Brooke's son. But isn't kissing stepsisters/nieces and their mother propably worse than kissing a guy?

The Logan women have great chemistry but the show has no idea what to do with Brooke. Donna has taken Brooke's role in several stories in recent years and so has Jackie as an enemy for the Forresters. Endless talks with/about Ridge are not a storyline.

Am I the only one who is absolutely unimpressed with Don Diamont as Bill?

I'm trying to determine if it's the dialogue or the way Diamont plays it, but he can't pull off "charming d*ck" to save his life. His portrayal lacks a certain charisma and it comes off as incredibly pompous and sleazy. On a Quagmire without the nasally voice level.

Jack Forrestel and the gang have done one helluva job with the new Jackie M/Spencer Publishing sets. It would be a damn shame if AMC/DAYS took home that set design award over B&B.

And Shannon Bradley is no genius writer, but her work has gotten a lot better.

I got the creep vibe from Bill too - it wasn't charming at all.

BTW, love that pic of Ashley Jones. There's just something about her that I'm attracted too. Sure she's not hot like 90's Kristian Alfosno/Hunter Tylo, but I think Ashley is a pretty girl.

So watching today for the first time in about a month I was happy to see Katie and Brill...Just in the scenes I saw today, the Brad and Victoria pairing would've worked SO much better with Tom still in the role.

Yes!

Well, Eric still retains the title when he pops his blue pills and has honey poured on his d*ck. But Nick comes by it more naturally at this point.

Well, you know, if you ever have a piece of crisp celery. And then it accidentally freezes? And when it thaws it is ... limp and slimy.

This, to me, this proves that slimy Bill must really be Brad, back from the dead...some kind of witness protection to hide from the Nazis :lol::D

The fashionistas in the fictional LA must be Victorians with memory problems, and they must all be women whose husbands left them for younger women, because every year or so, Forrester suddenly plunges into the red zone because people remember, yet again, that Eric Forrester dumped Stephanie for younger, hotter Logan sisters. Not to forget the huge loss at the reveal that Donna gave away a child when she was a teenage girl (a black child no less -- quelle shock).

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
    • Thank you very much!!!! I really appreciate it!!! I also have read the GH coffee table book from the 90s!!!
    • For a homeless woman, June sure has nice teeth. I agree Ted didn't bring the power in the fallout scenes but to can him and leave Tomas, Martin and Derek onscreen? i'm not looking forward to Martin's secret being revealed and have him flail in the spotlight scenes. Yes, he's got a little better, but... When someone like Timon delivers with every line reading, you wonder how some other casting decisions were made. And I need sunglasses every time characters are at Uptown-is that green paint left over from GL's Cedars Hospital makeover? And for the cliffhanger, instead of the Door dash nonsense, simply have Leslie encounter Vanessa on her way out and push past her to enter. As there is no front door have Leslie barge into the living room, with Vanessa following.  Then Nicole can tell Vanessa- it's OK she can leave them alone.
    • My question was basically is Dani the only character to have a bedroom? And then the response was Jacob and Naomi ONLY have a bedroom as their set .
