So, when I'm ready to give up B&B for good...

Katie and Bill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What scenes today. Heather Tom was finally at the best of her game, playing that smart, inquisitive woman. Playing lust and desire as Bill served as tempter. (Which he did well). Showing strength as she pulled away.

And then, better yet, FINALLY getting under Bill's skin with a spot-on analysis of his hurt and loneliness and the underlying damage that is making him so cold and ruthless.

Heather was terrific -- top of game -- but Don was an even better revelation. His face changed ON A DIME when Katie started getting to him. Instead of that unctuous smile he usually does, his face was a sudden mix of anger and defense. I haven't seen that in years. Not through the whole reliquary did his face ever once register this level of emotion!

Heather is really elevating him.

The scene was sober, well written, well acted.

I watch B&B with two B&B non-fans (ergo, they SHRED this show)...but they stopped and complimented the Bill-Katie scenes, saying it reminded them of Y&R (which is a good thing).

I may have found my new super-couple!

Well DD and Ht may be good, but they will always be their Y&R characters to me. If I wanted to watch Y&R characters, I'd watch Y&R. B&B have great characters on the back burner like Thorne, Felicia, Clarke who they can't write for. I'd rather see them other than Katie and Bill. They're both annoying.

I hope Brad writes for all of them.

Myself, because I have NO love for the Forresters, would much rather see this show transformed into Y&R2. So, for me, it is "bring it on". Ric Hearst is another great Y&R tie in...from McCook on down, half this cast comes from Y&R, and so I'd like to see this show be more Y&R like. Yesterday, with Bill and Katie, I finally got a bit of that!

I never really liked Don Diamont on Y&R but I'm intrigued by Bill on B&B so will keep watching :)

I have to admit Hunter looks better lately

Well, I actually enjoyed today's show...at least the Spectra (err...Jackie M) part. Despite myself, Alley Mills had me laughing out load...and the Spectra crew's reactions were part of the party.

I continue to like Bill-Katie...a lot!

Steffy as princess was gagworthy, but how cool to see Victor Alfieri! I wish they wouldn't waste him. I have never seen him with that long hair/beard combo before. He's so handsome, I would have expected to dislike the fur...but he was even sexier with age.

And finally, the scene I was expecting happened. Ridge vs. Bill. For all the Diamont detractors, he performed RINGS around Moss. It wasn't much of a confrontation...but in the play of his eyes and face, Diamont showed how much more accomplished he is than Moss. Moss should be very, very afraid!

Bahahahaha did you hear how Eric told Bill to "Shut up"? like a schoolkid saying "I know you are but what am I??"

THEN HE TOTALLY PULLS A VICTOR AND SAYS HE BUILT THE COMPANY WITH HIS BARE HANDS...

I WANT ERIC BRAEDEN AS ERIC FORESTER LMAO

Any last remaining shred of integrity Eric might have had got squandered when:

- in a safe, with Brooke's birthday as combination, he hid the fact that Stephanie was co-owner of Forrester

and then

- he allowed himself to be drizzled in honey in one debasement after another

The Forresters and Logans (save for Brooke, Felicia, Stephanie and Katie) need to be written OFF this show!

I haven't watched B&B in years but a friend filled me in on Brad with a beard, err Bill, vs. Ridge so I saw it online. I never cared much for either Don Diamont or Ronn Moss, but in that scene Don Diamont acted circles around Ronn Moss. I ignored Ronn Moss's horrid acting during the first 3 years of B&B because I loved the Ridge/Caroline storyline, but his acting just got worse as the 1990s went on and from what I saw in the scene hasn't really changed since then.

John McCook is no Eric Braeden. That scene totally made me think that Bill Bell named Eric Forrester after Eric Braeden.

Very hot but he is married PJ. You cant have him.laugh.gifwink.gif I missed all of today's show. My local station was having trouble broadcasting the show and only aired the part where Jack Wagner character keeps closing the door on him. Which I thought was funny. Then they just showed the credits.

I cry that the only show he's like not been on is ATWT. I FLOVED his AM Spaulding. When the mags said he'd show up---I totally expected him to appear in a doorway at the end of the eppy. Color me happy he showed up at the beginning and jumped into the deep end of the pool.

How friggin' hot would he and Lesli Kay be??

LOL...I meant that literally. I really thought he'd have one or two lines at the end of the show. Instead he's right in the thick of it with Steph today, and there's a scene with Pam and Clark (or is it Nick) that's hilarious. Let's just say I suddenly want to be one of Pam's lemon bars. :lol:

Damn DumbBell for making me want to watch this drivel again.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
