B&B: September Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

I like Owen and Bridget together, but he is no a prize. He betrayed Jackie and by clinging to hard to him, she has given him a pass to do it again. I think that Jackie has become pathetic and delusional, while Bridget has been made overly sympathetic with Owen caught in the middle. However, I'm not complaining too much because I think this is the first truly soapy triangle that I have seen in forever on any of the soaps.

Haha, its true though. Any man that Bridget can find, that hasnt been romantically linked to Brooke is a good thing. As a matter of fact, if she does manage to snag Owen, it would be best for her to move to the east coast. Keep as much distance and as little contact between Owen and her mother

Unless Rick can calm Jackie down and get her to agree to his plan, we are so in for a Breakdown/Kidnap type storyline with Bridgette or Jackie!! I totally see one of them breaking down. if Jackie does she is so going to steal that baby and head for the hills, thats really what I see happening...lol no way will her wacky dream arrangement with Bridgette/Owen ever work out!!

I always find it ridiculous when Bridget refers to Rick as her big brother considering she most defeintly looks older than him. Its been years but the recasting still bothers me bc he looks several years younger than her.

and I still hate the Logan name. Thats Ridge's nickname for Brooke

Well were back to boring B&B. This show can never stay on a high! I love this show dearly, but this Bridget crap is boring. I have FF almost everything since after the birth. Heck, I didn't even stick around for the birth. This story is so darn boring!

Bridget irritates the hell out of me. She and Owen are the the ones in the wrong when they torpedoed Jackie's life, it's that self righteous Logan indignation all over again. Damn I am sounding like Stephanie Forrester!

I liked the little scene between Eric and Donna, was a nice nod. Poor Thorne couldn't even meet his new nephew. I wonder if Lesli Kay's Felicia will ever wash ashore at B&B anytime soon now that ATWT is over. Felicia and Katie fighting over Bill would be terrific.

Jackie and Rick are hot...but I think that's all because of LAD, she's had sparkling chemistry with everyone she's ever been put with.

I agree, they need to recast Oliver or put Zack through some acting classes. Did graduate from the same acting school as Jake Silbermann? Cause I think he was channeling Noah Mayer today. :lol:

Brad should really consider trying to make Apple a sponsor of this show. They use enough of their products. Nearly everyone uses an iphone and most of their computers and laptops are macs.

Hm, I'm not really minding Zack Conroy's acting. It's not great but I don't find it horribly bad either. He has a lot of chem with Kim Matula. In today's episode, I liked the way he looked. His hair is MUCH better like that and it looked like he had a little bit of stubble. I think he looks better this way!

Loving Bill/Liam. Bill hating Liam at first was ridiculous and I'm glad to see him opening up a little more and being nice to him.

Liam is hilarious, i was LOL when Hope called him and told him to meet at her parents house cause she had a 'surprise' for him. He put the phone down for a few seconds and silently cheered a little bit...haha. To funny, he really likes Hope :-D. Liam/Hope/Oliver could be good.

Also another thing, wow some characters aren't on for a really long time. I was refreshed to see Oliver & Steffy today, it felt like I hadn't seen them in years...lol!

    • I can not see Kat as a police officer and do not want that for her. Thats not her passion nor does she care about that stuff. The stuff with Eva and Leslie is specific to her life and wanting to protect her family. Her "detective" skills have more to do with her business background, which makes her very analytical and pay close attention to details. If this show had a corporation, she'd make a shrewed businesswoman and CEO I definitely dont want to see her sleep with her cousin's husband. That would be too much of a Hayley redux which ironically you dont want with the Sharon/Hayley theory
    • I would make Jan, Ashley's mom, Anita and Vernon's maid. It would lock in to why Leslie would choose to befriend both her and Mona. It also gives Ashley a connection to the Duprees and explains how she befriended Naomi. I would have had Derek start the show as a cop to explain his connection to Jacob. Kat needs to realize that she is MADE to be a detective. Have her go through police training, making the appropriate comments about the uniform along the way. Have her prove she is so much more than a rich princess, even to herself. Then, when Jacob's partner is proven to be dirty, Kat is assigned as Jacob's rookie trainee. At the same time, Naomi does finally get a case she can follow through on. Her client is a person that Jacob arrested. This puts them at odds because Jacob knows this person did it, as does Kat, but Naomi only sees the extenuating circumstances and believes he deserves a lighter sentence and a second chance. THAT is when Jacob will turn to Kat in frustration and she will lose her virginity to him. 
    • This opened my eyes and appeals to my logic. But, don't you also think that the fact that they are so ill-suited means that, by soap-opera-laws, they aren't a long term item?  I like how Belle is written now, so I appreciate the fact that she is in this story.  But, I don't believe anything will become of it, and I think EJ is going to mess it up very soon.  Which explains why I don't get too worked up over it. I'm also suspending my outrage until I see how EJ treats Belle during her mourning.  If he cheats with Cat, then we'll know that he was never meant to be happy.
    • Kristen also raped John post-Paris with a Magic Mirror.  Her pregnancy was "delicate" and they couldn't be intimate.  She had already lost the baby, needed to get pregnant immediately again and set a Stefano tricked out Magic Mirror to hypnotize John and John thought he was  having sex with Marlena.  John woke up the next day and thought it was a dream.
    • The show is only a few months in and still finding it's footing. I'm hoping MVJ has years of story in place for these characters and will pretty much stick to that plan (obviously with tweaking along the way) I do have some issues with the initial structure. Making the Duprees the centerpiece and not having a male with that name. Making Martin Vernon and Anita's would have solved that and made the age of the character more appropriate. I agree about not having a young couple in the beginnings of a romance. And having too many married couples. Jacob and Naomi could be just living together. That makes the possibility of other relationships more viable than within a marriage. Same with Smitty/Martin. Having them married with kids limits the story especially in terms of them as a gay couple.  The white characters existing in another universe is also a problem. That ties in with the workplace/job issues. I don't think they needed the hospital-instead the police station/real estate office or Martin's workplace could have utilized and have Derek/Ashley/Vanessa/Smitty/Shanice etc working and interacting there. ATM too many characters are meeting up in cafes etc-we're not seeing them at work. We needed to see more of how various characters interact eg Jacob/Bill, Ted/Bill. There were a lot of extended family scenes but there should be more one on one to get a sense of character and family dynamics. Leslie is a great character but her bag of tricks is getting over exposed. I would hate that she is kept on and other character's made to look like idiots by accepting her presence. They'll need some good writing and twists to keep her around. We can only hope some of the lesser actors improve as I don't want too many recasts or writeouts. So it's early days and I look forward to seeing the show evolve. And give the Duprees some staff!
    • Thanks. I barely remember any of the backstory there, just his ties to her parents. It was all so convoluted, everything with Tangie.
    • 81 and 82 were rather bad, with the infamous invasion of the Kirkland family. But sometime in late 82 or early 83, Claire Labine was rehired as head-writer and immediately put the focus back on the Ryan's. This time Labine's tenure was short, but she did great work. The entire show was compelling again -- especially the Charlotte Greer storyline (one of the best plots of the entire series).  But Labine was fired, yet again, and Ryan's Bar was bombed, resulting in most of the action being transferred to Greenberg's Deli, and a focus on younger characters with little connection to the Ryan family. So that is what you are probably seeing from 84.   
    • It wasn't that altruistic. He made Tangie a substitute for Blake and was apparently so creepy about it that Tangie spent the years in between getting away from him and running into him in Springfield believing that he had purchased her to be his child bride. It was only when she got to know Blake that she realized that she realized his feelings for her were paternal and suddenly she and Roger became friends.
    • When I watched 1999 Daytime Emmys in real time, I was like "Daytime Emmys will never top this" and that's exactly what happened (at least IMO).
