B&B is truly a disaster.

Perhaps cancellation will come really, really soon.

I used to think that after this two-year cycle ends, they will renew it for just another year. But now I'm not so sure. Maybe there will be no renewal. Cancellationville!

That's so true. Good storytelling and compelling characters will bring back viewers of all ages and capture new viewers. Days did it. AMC does have a core group of compelling characters, in my opinion. But the storytelling has suffered under the hands of McTavish, that genunely awful duo that followed her (I've blocked their names from my memory)and then the hapless Pratt. Kudos to Broderick for the progress she has made in such a short time.

I am a fan on B&B. I have watched the show since day 1. I love my little show. It is only a half hour so things move quickly on this show. Sure they all have one time been with each other, but recently with adding more Jones to the show, hopefully it will get better in that regard. Yes B&B is over the top, but that's the way I like it.

I like B&B but only tune in because it fills the half hour between Y&R and World Turns. Bill Bell is on crack if he really thinks Steffy is the next Stephanie: Cute idea but the actress is bad and her agenda is creepy with all her misdirected sexual energy towards her father. Brooke is the heir to Stephanie and even looks somewhat like a younger Susan Flannery. This show is a mess on so many levels that I doubt the ratings (#2) will hold much longer than six months. To think, only last year a lot of people were expecting the show to expand to one hour after GL got the ax.

If I were Bell, I'd borrow some under-used Y&R characters and bring in better writers. It would be hot if Adam relocated in LA. Maybe Lauren and Michael could move west to open up a new Fenmore's Store. Basically, the show needs a total reboot. Centering the show around Lauren and Michael and the Forrester's might be a good solution and finally, once and for all, end all the Bridget looses another baby junk.

    • The Duprees not having any staff is a bugbear for me. They've included the background staff at the Country Club but no one at the Dupree home. Even just an extra bringing in a tray of food/drinks or responding to a request from Anita would suffice.
    • Shut up, Dante and Lois.  I actually don't mind this particular soap trope, but in the context of this storyline, it just feels forced and unnecessary. If anything, this Dante/Gio tension needed to begin months ago. Plus, this storyline, in general, isn't doing Lois any favors either.  Emma comforting Gio was really sweet though. It's definitely time for the two of them to have their first kiss. And, Joss playing Secret Agent Barbie will just never work.
    • Note to makeup - Smitty’s eyebrows, bad clamshell look.

    • Okay I can buy that when Brook Lynn was a teen.  Now she knows the child is a boy one would think she'd be slightly suspicious.  Then again, Gio looks nothing like either of them so maybe not lol.
    • I've been behind & just got caught up & the last 3 days were amazing!
    • Yeah.  The hot, poor bad boy with a chip on his shoulder but with a heart of gold was a common soap trope in the 80s

    • That's been an issue with me... the lack of a cohesive 'Have Not' crowd that has focus other than Leslie/Eva.   I would beef up Jan, Mona, Laura, Joey, and few other male characters.. and not just be out to overthrow the Duprees.. but co-existing and broadening the scope of the show since the show is called Beyond the Gates. I think the set up the show has with everything revolving around the Duprees will become predictable especially if they always win.   It would be like Victor Newman on Y & R for 40+ years.. always winning, hardly ever losing.   With MVJ/Guza.. both trained under that mindset... I fear that will happen.   I've always heard from a performer that is playing a character like Leslie/Dana that you have to find the victim/hurt beneath the surface in order to play a villain/villainess... and I think that's why I enjoy watching her.. because she brings so much more to the part than what the writers put on the page.
    • I figure that was really hard for Dom to do. I completely GET why they wrote it the way they did but I wonder if it was necessary. Meanwhile I have 2 really icky ideas in my head. Drew is going to blame Tracy KNOWING it was not her. Dante is going to blame Lulu.  After that, everyone else is going to be mad at Lois.  Tracy is going to double down on wanting to get rid of Sonny. Sonny's going to be more dug in to stay because he now has a new descendant. 
    • I can actually buy Brook Lynn being so self-absorbed and incurious that she never thought to question why her mom and grandma were so attached to Gio.
