B&B the Month of September


Recommended Posts

I know this is very brief and scattered, but someone put up a video of OLTL's Daisy Awards from 1989. At the beginning of the clip there are some images from various daytime shows around that time, I guess it must have been from a Daytime Emmy ceremony. You can see a few vintage clips of B&B from then, including a brief one of poor Lauren Koslow with very bad hair.

I could see Steffy & Owen but Steffy & Whip? He is far too experienced and old for her, IMO. Whip & Brooke, certainly. Whip & Felicia. Whip & Bridget, even (save Bridget! They always had a nice relationship back when Whip was married to her mother).

They need to stop pushing Steffy as the Greatest Ingénue Ever. The actress was green but promising when she started but now she's pretty stilted (except in Friday's scene with Brandom Beemer and, later, Drew Tyler Bell). She needs to refine her acting and (I hate to bring this up because I think Canadian actors are a cut above the rest as a rule, but...) iron out her north-of-the-border accent.

I think they should have tried to make a next gen Brooke/Ridge somewhere along the way. Steffy and Rick might have worked and if anyone claims the actors aren't strong enough, I have two words for you: RON MOSS. But I think they need to make it someone from another family. Rick (or maybe a SORASED) Hope needs to find someone from the wrong side of the tracks soon.

I'm bummed they never played up the twin dynamic between Steffy and Phoebe. C'mon! Anybody who has read Sweet Valley High could have borrowed a couple of SLs from that great 80s teen opus. When Steffy came on, she was the anti-Phoebe, the brains behind-the-scenes, the one who didn't like to be front-and-center like Phoebe did. They played up these contrasting twins for, like, a nanosecond before killing off Feeble.

What would have been awesome is if Steffy had started taking on some of Phoebe's personality traits after her death. She would have insisted on sleeping in Phoebe's room, would have worn Phoebe's clothes and, most importantly of all, would have hoodwinked Rick into falling in love with her before pulling the rug from under him. That way we would have an explanation of why she is now such a self-righteous bimbo.

Well, this would actually have been a novel storyline. So scratch it.

That said, I really like Stuffy & Thomas as brother & sister as well as the whole TRIDGE family dynamic. Now they actually had to make sth. out of it 'cause they look exactly like a family. Pretty rare on soaps with the multiple recasting, IMO...

Stuffy & Owen would be interesting as long as sex doesn't happen. This is just bound to be another family miracle with Owen as Ridge's son. I think this could be good. Too bad Brad Bell doesn't follow fan fiction/demands like his sis in law. LOL! Or maybe this is for the best...

I thought 'Dollar Bill' was just Donna's pet name for Bill, but now new guy Justin is calling him that. LOL!

And strange of Stuffy and Thomas to be gossiping about two people they should be caring less about like two old bittys while their mom might be turning back to the bottle this very moment.

I realized why they weren't discussing Taylor, if they say her name or show her picture, they have to pay Tylo a certain amount of money if she's not in the episode. Windsor Harmon runs around sticking his pictures on all the sets hoping they don't notice and he can collect.

Since no one knew of Dollar Bill until this year, why would it be so hard to introduce an ex wife with a few kids in their early 20's?

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • 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.
