Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted October 1, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 1, 2011 LOL...your welcome. Right now she is in everyone's story but her own! I hope that changes soon ;-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NorrthCafe Posted October 1, 2011 Members Share Posted October 1, 2011 B&B in third place? The writers had better come up with a good Brooke storyline, soon. Fans don't seem to care for the ever whining and mewling Steffy and Taylor. What is the point of having to bitter jealous harpies screeching about the Logans, and threatening revenge? I don't know why it excites the writers because it sure doesn't seem bring the fans in. This show is hitting new lows. I loved the BnB when it was still just campy. Now it's dark and obsessive in its misogyny. Keep Steffy or Taylor, but for the love of soapgods, not BOTH! They're redundant characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted October 1, 2011 Members Share Posted October 1, 2011 I dont think third place means much conisdering there are now only 5 soaps on the air and soon to be 4. Outside of Y&R, the remaining 3 soaps will all rotate between 2nd place. I think B&B's own indivudal numbers are whats most important, not what place it holds in the ranking. B&B gained over 200,000 viewers last week which is pretty damn good and places it above the other remaining soaps (no counting AMC which only got a boost bc of its finale) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted October 2, 2011 Members Share Posted October 2, 2011 I do think that B&B's falling overall numbers have been partly due to the awful condition of its lead-in, Y&R. However, after a promising start to the current cycle of story arcs, Brad Bell has reallly missed a trick by pushing for the Steffy-Liam-Hope triangle without getting Bill and Katie more directly involved in the SL. Bill's residual feelings for Steffy, Katie's jealousy... all this should be impacting much more directly on their marriage, their feelings, the whole story in general. Does Bill went Steffy with Liam because he just wants her close? Etc. I love Brooke but after the Tropical Fuckberries saga, I'd rather see her in a SL involving her business smarts rather than who gets to lay her. Failing that, I do love KKL's maternal chemistry with Kim Matula. It makes sense that they would have an extremely close and symbiotic relationship as she was a late baby and B&B always played the beat that she was especially precious to Brooke. I love that Jacob Young is back (even though he's so tiny compared with all the other actors on the show!) and love that Thorne may MAY be given a slightly more important role in SL terms. I hope Bradley doesn't forget to revisit and build up Thorne & Taylor. I don't want that SL to happen off screen. It would be great if Lesli Kay got some meat, too. Now that Barbara Bloom has left CBS, there is no reason on earth B&B can't use her. She's a natural replacement for Stephanie (if Susan wants to cut down on her days) if ever there was one. Finally, I hope the ensemble nature of the show continues because I love seeing a variety of characters on my screen. I love Brooke and KKL but if it's her and only her (or her and Ridge), I start to long for a mix of other stories and faces. Balance is so key.

Members Cheap21 Posted October 2, 2011 Members Share Posted October 2, 2011 Great points Cat and I totally agree. One thing that needs to be mentioend was what ever happened to Bill buying Jackie M to go after FC and hurt Ridge? The show doesnt know how to follow up on the buildup it has with stories and just lets it die. They had perfect buildup as Bill was fueled by his feelings for Steffy, Ridge attacking him about it...and what now? A week later Ridge is forming a business arrangement with Bill, giving him the video of Steffy in lingerie as if nothing happened. Bill seems to be over Steffy and now pushing her to be with his son. The corporate revenge plot that they seemed to be starting ended as soon as it was brought up. I hate when the show does stuff like that bc it had so much promise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted October 2, 2011 Members Share Posted October 2, 2011 ^^ Exactly, Cheap. There is a lot of wasted potential on B&B and sometimes I am not quite sure why there is. It's like Brad has ADD sometimes and the plot about Bill buying Jackie M to piss off Ridge writes itself. It also expands a side of the Bill-Steffy-Katie-Liam-Hope stuff into an umbrella SL involving the business and FC and Hope for the Future and Thorne/Taylor's fight for a bigger slice of the FC pie.

Members Cheap21 Posted October 3, 2011 Members Share Posted October 3, 2011 I hate Hope and Steffy fighting over Liam. I wish both had a bit more self respect. For Steffy, her "fiance" was engaged to someone just a day ago. I wish she wouldnt settle for second place and acting like her relationship is real and they are in love. For Hope, she should just mve on. I cant beleive she isnt upset that Liam had sex with and proposed to Steffy with her ring minutes after they broke up. Like that doesnt phase her? She said she's gonna fight to get him back. She is too young to be settling for that Bill being thrilled that Liam banged Steffy was disgusting. I hate what this show has done On a side note, Hunter Tylo looked beautiful today. Loved her hair. Odd to see her and Brooke having a semi-decent conversation for an entire episode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted October 3, 2011 Members Share Posted October 3, 2011 I really don't get Bill being thrilled about Liam and Steffi's engagement either. Unless, of course, he's realized that 37.5% of Forrester would be owned by "Spencers" if they marry. I don't like Hope's attitude either, but I gotta hand it to Steffi; when she thinks she's holding all the cards, she's almost gracious in her victory. I nearly gagged at her offer of "friendship" now that she thinks her hoochie has neutralized Hope's pull over Liam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted October 3, 2011 Members Share Posted October 3, 2011 Agreed. I kinda expected Hope to slap her there but she didnt. Steffy did come across pathetic and I really hate how both girls are acting like this is the best they can do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted October 3, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 3, 2011 Taylor was sounding so stupid today, LMAO at the pathetic point she was trying to make: "It was a little disconcerting when I first found out, but isn't that the way it is with everyone when they get engaged? One day they weren't and the next day they are?" WTH?? Brooke: "Usually there's a gentle progression, not like a bomb being dropped out of the blue." THANK YOU! Ugh this show right now.

Members Marley Posted October 4, 2011 Members Share Posted October 4, 2011 I'm so ready for this Liam/Hope and Steffy stuff to be over with. I'm almost digusted by it all. Steffy is pathetic, Hope is a moron and Liam is a douchebag. I don't want neither girs with him but I'm sure there will be one lucky winner to win Liam's heart in the end Bill is just the epitome of gross and I sure hope that someone will mention how sick his behavior is.
