B&B: October Thread

It feels as if Steffy is being set up to take her mother's place. GOOD if that's the case because she's the less smarmy version of taylor. Both play 'sympathetic psychiatrist' to men in pain before putting the moves on them. At least Steffy isn't violating 'professional ethics' to do it. I think JMW is a far more engaging actress than Hunter Tylo so I'm intrigued with the idea that Steffy could become the show's seductive vixen. I could never see tylo pulling that off. She's had to play the stealth hypocrite - using Stephanie's rage at 'that whore' Brooke, all the while pretending to be pure, herself. Not Steffy, LOL! Don't you just love the way she slyly raised Jackie's history as a <gasp> prostitute and how hard it must be for Owen to get over something like that? Bad girl, Steffy, BAD BAD girl. It was Christmas come early for this soap fan. Wasn't it Steffy, just a few weeks ago, who was judging Brooke and attacking HER for not respecting her family?

As for Ashley Jones being overexposed on the BnB, I WISH! I'd love to see Bridget in a front burner storyline. Too bad it's not Nick fighting for BRidget's love when some hot man comes along and makes her go weak in the knees. Newbie Justin Barber has already had twice the airtime of AJ's Bridget. The only characters who've had less airtime are taylor (who went on a 'business trip', the little kiddos (Ally and RJ), and of course Thorne and Felicia.

bellcurve, I live in San Antonio, Texas. It goes like this here...

(NBC, CBS, ABC)

7am-9am Today, Early Show, GMA

9-10 Regis and Kelly, Great Day SA, Rachel Ray

10 SA Living, Price Is Right, The View

11 Today, The Young and the Restless, All My Children

12 Today with Hoda and Kathie Lee, Local News/B&B, Full Hour of News

1 DAYS, As the World Turns, OLTL

2 Dr. Oz, Lets Make a Deal (or GL before), General Hospital

Do most markets air the first four hours of Today at once? I think that would be overkill, I like having them separated. I actually prefer GMA and only watch the fourth hour as a trashy alternative to The View.

This is the first thing that's been promising with Steffy, despite the crap actress. I do hate that they broke up Taylor and Rick. What is he doing now? Nothing. Breaking them up was short sighted as both characters and floundering on the canvas now. I thought they had genuine chemistry and it was crazy enough for B&B. I loved what it did for Brooke and Taylor's relationship and I loved crazy drunk Taylor around this time as well.

Nope. She's just trying to support her friend LMAO! I LOVE it. I really thought she had some freaking nerve when she was talking to Jackie. That's the kind of character's this show needs. Someone who is just going after what she wants and is taking no prisoners. BTW Jackie basically banned her from the building. Something else I love!

I love Steffy's nastiness and that she's a total hypocritical BRAT! She's a third generation manipulating liar, behind her mother and grandmother and what a HOOT that just a few weeks ago she was going on and on about 'women like Brooke'... HA!

That being said, I'd love to see Jackie win this one, even if only for a brief while. Steffy is young, but that's all she is. She's not accomplished. She's not especially bright. She's not even interesting. The only thing she has to offer Owen is sex, and let's face it, what man REALLY wants to go there with a woman whose first experience was with a man she use to call 'Uncle' until a few years before she slept with him? To make matters worse, "Uncle Rick" was using her after having already slept with her mother and having tried to sleep with her twin before that.

    • 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.
