B&B: January Discussion Thread

[soapfan770]

I didn't think anyone watched or discussed B&B anymore. After watching the last two eps I wondered why I even bothered too. Steffy is brain-dead and I don't care about her. The only thing that could make me watch this show again is if Sheila was to be coming on board or Ridge was violently killed off.

[P.J.]

Well...there are days I wonder why I bother. I did have to laugh at Hope's GREAT line "I wonder if having a psychiatrist for a mother makes her feel like she's always right" or something like that. Because, not only does it illuminate Taylor's superior attitude, it fits both Thomas and Steffy to a tee.

And as much as I dislike Bill...I was almost hoping Steffy and Thomas would plot some stupidity, just to see Bill swat them like the flies they are.

So how long before Thomas and Hope hook up? You KNOW B&B is going to go there soon enough

I sure hope little Drew Tyler Bell gets himself some acting lessons before they go that route. Otherwise, if they don't have chemistry, the pairing will FLOP.

[Cheap21]

Like 75% of the pairings from the last 5 years?

[Cat]

More like 95%! Bill & Katie is the only one I like. Jackie & Owen started off OK but then it turned into the Sexy-Photoshoot Montage. They have no relationship, they just like posing half-naked in front of a camera.

I love teen Hope already. Her jab at Stuffit (I like this nickname)/Taylor was really funny. Ah I need to quit being sick - everything is just so fnny now.

[Cheap21]

haha, you are right. Im trying to think of any good pairings that were created in the last 5 years and I cant think of any outside of Bill and Katie

After a two week break I come back to see that Sandy and Nick are still having the same conversation, "Bridget can't find out, you have to keep my secret." It is like a broken record.

I saw a scene with Sandy/Agnes recently and it looked like Sarah Joy wanted to burst out into laughter when talking about her "pain."

Exactly the way I feel when I watch B&B.

[Chris B]

Sarah Brown always looks on the verge of laughter in her emotional scenes. I do like her and Nick together, but they can't be romantic for obvious reasons. I can't believe I've forgiven Nick or Katie for what they did. This would just be asking me too much. Scary thing is that they aren't even attempting to chemistry test her with somebody else so it's likely she'll be paired with him.

Overall I'm not loving B&B, but I find it very watchable. I do like the Agnes story and overall happenings at Spectra. I like the Bill/Katie drama although it could be so much better with better writing and more favorable writing for the Forresters. I HATE Hope. She's from the Steffy brand of acting. Just terrible and not pretty enough. Looks like Donna's daughter. In general the show would be improved by focusing more on the Forrester's. Bring back some extended family members, feature Felicia and Thorne. Integrate them. Even Eric and Stephanie seem like after thoughts at this point. That's a big problem since they're the first family of B&B and have been the main, limited focus for such a long time.

[P.J.]

Speaking of Donna...is JG pregnant IRL? That outfit today was kind of bizarre.

[Saving ATWT]

Does anyone know what role Bell wants Kim Zimmer to play? Know one will ever match Darlene Connely (sp?), but I think she'd make for a great Sally recast. I think enough time has gone by and recasts happen all the time on soaps. I felt like Spectra v Forrester was the only format that has ever worked for this show. Forrester against Spencer and Jackie M. just doesn't work.

[BadZoe]

Isn't Kim Zimmer a little young to be Sally? Macy would be 40+ by now.

I thought they were eyeing her to be Sandy's mother. And Nick's new love interest, lol.

Forrester vs Jackie M works bc JM is Spectra 2.0
