B&B: November Discussion Thread

[MarkH]

This was -- SERIOUSLY -- 50% of today's episode.

Now, I like the 40s motif, and I like the black and white stylings (except, it's REALLY cheap--you can even see the shower curtain behind some of those photos, and the lighting was off).

But this was today's plot. The Logan girls posed. Marcus' daddy Justin simmered with lust for Donna. Bill schemed watching them all (and maybe simmered with a wee bit of lust for Steffy). And Ridge simmered with rage as he witnessed the whole mess.

There go 9 of your 18 minutes of show time, right there!

Looks like Sarah Brown's new character is white trash.

I had to laugh at Bridget reading her personal profile through the surrogate agency and thinking Sandy's a health nut, while Sandy was eating chocolate and chips and took a while to process the word "yoga" when she was on the phone with Bridget today.

[MarkH]

The closed captions wrote her last name as Sommers. So, she's no relation to Y&R's Phyllis Summers, right?

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Nope.

Sandy looks like an intriguing gold digging trailer park trash of a character, something that's unique on B&B (in terms of her social class and the fact she looks like a villianess in training). I hope Brad Bell treats Sarah Brown well, she acted the hell and sold some pretty ludicrous material on GH over the past two weeks.

[Juliajms]

More like over the last year.

[bellcurve]

Jesus. I can't WAIT to watch B&B tonight! Sarah Joy Forever, bitches.

[y&r_fan]

Christ no.

Lauren is far too boring for such a major role.

[bellcurve]

So being the narrator of a half-hour soap opera is a major role?

[y&r_fan]

Narrator?

I mean being the face of one of the show's two core companies is a major role. Besides, Jackie M/Spectra has always been the "campier" of the two fashion houses. Jackie fits the camptress role perfectly. Lauren? Not so much.

I wouldn't be opposed to Lauren returning to B&B if Y&R wrote her out, but not at the expense of Jackie.

[bellcurve]

Narrator meaning the prologue and every act opens with this:

Jackie: I wonder what my Nicky and Brooke are up to.

Owen: I want to talk about sperminating you.

Jackie: Oh Owen, as much as I'd LOOOVE to talk about that, I mean seriously, Nicky stormed out of here after breaking up with Bridget and now...I just don't know? Will he leave Bridget for a newly single Brooke?

CUT TO: Nick and Brooke

[P.J.]

Is Steffy the whore du jour now? Owen, Bill...who's next, ex-stepdaddy Nick?

[MarkH]

It really seems like it. I can't stand these immediate one-day shifts in story and character.

I also wish, with all due respect, that Jacqueline MacInnes would stop [!@#$%^&*] up her face with cosmetic procedures. I'm not against it (and lawd knows, if I had a bit of extra cash I would consider an eyelid lift for myself) but girl is 24 at best. Her eyes look pulled so tight, she is turning into that catwoman Wildenstein creature.

Those photos are... meh, though I don't think KKL looks so bad. On the subject of photos, I really wish B&B would utilise their photo shoot work from last year (and which Sheilaforever often incorporates into his siggie). It looked like a Vanity Fair shoot. I also wish they would use it for the B&B opening which is dull as dishwater (and about the color of dishwater, too).

Stuffy is the 2.0 version of...
