Members Cheap21 Posted July 2, 2009 Members Share Posted July 2, 2009 I have to applaud Brooke today. She actually surprised me with that decision. Why does Nick look like he's at least 65 years old Jack Wagner is not aging well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members skiman12082004 Posted July 2, 2009 Members Share Posted July 2, 2009 I have to admit B&B is a train wreck at the moment but I do love Owen and Jackie. Almost everything else on the show is the pits. I am actually going to the fan club luncheon this year so I am hoping it gets better for me by then.

Members MarkH Posted July 2, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 2, 2009 So, the comedy/sitcom of Nick/Bridget vs Jackie/Owen was...entertaining. It was pure sitcom...but that's not necessarily a bad thing. But can you imagine that Mr. John F. Smith, former headwriter of Y&R, penned sh!t like this?? Also, would three adults sit around and discuss others' sex lives?? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted July 2, 2009 Members Share Posted July 2, 2009 No, I can't. That's right up there with Mulchaey's "You're a star now, Phoebe". Wow. Seriously, do they drug them up over there? I don't get it. It's got to be an international thing. I can't figure out why else they do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted July 2, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 2, 2009 You may have something there. I guess it sounds "telenovela". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 2, 2009 Members Share Posted July 2, 2009 Thank you for posting that awful dialogue. It reminds me of the Soap Opera Encyclopedia talking about when the Pollocks wrote for GH, and they had dialogue like: Rick: You're my heaven and my hell. Monica: You're a fever in my blood I just can't cure. Rick: We started with each other and now we can't finish. Hey, maybe some of the B&B writers will write for the next Dynasty... I can't think of a better description for Ridge in the sack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted July 2, 2009 Members Share Posted July 2, 2009 I'm back to watching B&B out of interest rather than habbit. There's still room for improvement, but overall it's good. I like Nick and Bridget together as the stable couple who provide comic relief, without the Brooke angst or the Katie angst. Brad would be smart to keep them together in that capacity. Also, Bill Spencer is exactly what this show has needed for ages: an amoral sleazebag tycoon intent on bringing the Forresters to their knees (like Massimo, but with sex appeal). When Bill came, the show started improving. In response to what Mark said, I assume he's not in the opening yet because they're waiting for Rick Hearst to air. Then they'll update with Diamont, Hearst and DTB. As for the end credits, it's a mistake. The same thing happened when Jennifer Gareis went back on contract in 2007 - it took them months to put her name in the credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted July 2, 2009 Members Share Posted July 2, 2009 Oh hell yes! If someone in your family cheats on their spouse and gets caught it will be discussed. At least in my family and I'm pretty sure we are not alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted July 2, 2009 Administrator Share Posted July 2, 2009 I'm been loving Hawaii scenes. It's been light and fun (a contrast of everything else on the show which is probably why I'm enjoying it) and the beach scenes are beautiful to watch.

Members sheilaforever Posted July 2, 2009 Members Share Posted July 2, 2009 You bet - they would have made a fuss about it if they actually went to Hawaii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted July 2, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 2, 2009 But, you know what? They did a decent job. Throwing some colorful plants on a Malibu beach, repurposing the rooftop as a wicker-fenced Tiki lounge...it worked. They credit the Hawaii "stock footage" at the end (from Hawaii tourism), but it was well integrated. This is actually one of the most effective trompe d'oeil location shoots I can ever recall seeing on daytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted July 2, 2009 Members Share Posted July 2, 2009 And this is prob why the NY soaps suffer when it comes to location shooting. It makes less sense for a NY soap like GL or ATWT to go down the outdoor-shooting production model when LA has beach + urban + desert + mountains on its doorstep and which it can disguise as multiple locales.

Members MarkH Posted July 2, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 2, 2009 It's funny, but when they shot the beach shots, there was a little cliff in the background. And I'm 90% sure that's the cliff Ridge looked down from for his "destiny westiny" spot. Since that kind of beach access is hard to get, I'm guessing that they must be shooting from the Bell's own Malibu beach house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
