B&B: January Discussion Thread

[Toups]

Easy way to prolong it.......Steffy finds out the truth and begins to fake her symptons to keep Liam. I'd keep doing things like this until say May sweeps. That's when you have the big revelation and you will get big ratings for it.

LOL!! Love it.

[SFK]

Okay, see I like that. Like paula on Capitol faking her agoraphobia. Always makes for a good fallout. But has Steffy always been written as kinda sneaky? What were the big differences between her and her sister?

Also, there are spumors of an addition to shake up the teen quad and that seems a little crowded to me. Maybe not actually...

[SFK]

And not that people on soaps or IRL for that matter always have sound romantic reasoning, but when Liam ran to Hope and full on made out with her the second he spotted her in Cabo, damn, Steffy should have cussed him the hell out and said eff it. Of course I think she missed that because she had crashed.

Phoebe was good and sweet.Typical young heroine. She was nowhere near as pretentious and holier than thou as Hope is though. Steffy when SORASed came on more tomboyish. She was relatively good and was set to be the next heroine. After Phoebe died and her relationship with Rick went sour, she started to be written as more sneaky. I think the first "bad" thing she did was try to keep Ridge and Brooke apart by sending her text messages to keep her from interrupting his wedding to Taylor. Once she crossed paths with Bill a few months later, she started cementing her place as a bad girl, who would lie, cheat and steal to get what she wants

Id rather not see her do that bc it would only make her look even more pathetic than she is now over a man that is not worth it. I want her chasing Bill, not his idiot lame son. As it stands, Im glad she doesnt know and its only Bill doing the manipulating

[Toups]

You can still do Bill/Steffy as a long term story. Bill/Steffy have an one night stand but they still want to be with their respective spouses. But Steffy gets pregnant and she reveals that when Liam is about to leave her, again, for Hope. But baby is Bill's but the paternity is switched (by who? don't know yet) to make it look like Liam is the father. Now you have another big build up to a big reveal.

[Cheap21]

Ugh! I really dont want her with Liam any longer...lol

[AllMyDaysatGH]

When Bill forcefully launched Katie over his shoulders like that today I thought he was taking her upstairs to bed ;-) LOL but instead he took her up there and locked her in a room? WTF

[Eric83]

I am watching B&B now that OLTL is gone and I am really liking the story too. Bill and Steffy are the couple I'm rooting for after its all over. Looking forward to post about a show again.

[Cheap21]

I just saw it and thats crazy! If Katie doesnt dump Bill now, she is a certified idiot. Locked in a beach tower....LOL. Hilarious. Bill cant possibly think he can keep her there for long. All she needs to do is fake a heart attack if she wants out

LOL....Toups, what do you think of how the show managed to stop Katie from opening her mouth?

You my friend are a smart person Im looking forward to continuing posting with you

Monday's episode was great! For the first time ever, Hope & Liam had a conversation and I saw It. The sweetness between them. It was a nice, simple moment and worked so much better than all this OMGZ Star Crossed Young Love ish.

The other reason for it being a good episode was Miss Fierce Heather Tom. This is sacrilege but I think I prefer Heather Tom's Katie to her Victoria Newman (even though she is BADLY needed on that hot mess called Y&R right now). Anyway, I *loved* that she twigged so quickly to this fake blood clot business (and why shouldn't she? She has been suspicious about Bill for weeks, if not months. Plus, she isn't stupid, unlike a lot of characters on B&B ). Tying all of Bill's actions to his not-so-latent feelings for Steffy really showed that Katie was no idiot. And this is why I love the Steffy/Bill/Katie triangle -- if we can even call it that. Katie is not just the "love interest," she is Bill's equal, the only person on the show who can read him inside out and call him on his BS. If Brad Bell were really smart, he would make Katie Bill's rival in business. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned and, like when Brooke took controlling interest of FC after Ridge and Eric trifled with her, so Katie should start kicking asss and taking names. If Katie Logan were a male character, Bell would have no problems in setting up that kind of business-fuelled rivalry. But I'm writing fan-fic again, so I'll stop.

When Bill carried Katie out of there, I thought he was going to pull a Rhett Butler on her. The fact that he put her in some... attic is kind of unintentionally funny. Like, how long is he intending to keep her there?! Nevermind, I just saw the preview for today's episode. "No kidding."

[AllMyDaysatGH]

Great cliffhanger today! Bill LMAO at him trying to cover up everything! "What are you, a bat? Do you hear every little sound the house makes? It's an old house, it creeps and it groans, just let it go!"

Fed up bitch Katie! LOL at her saying to Bill "Not another word 'Quasimodo'" Soo funny, did anyone notice Liam taking his arms off of Steffy? He probably thinks she was in on it w/Bill.

Hope & Oliver

[Cheap21]

OMG, Bill was hilarious today...lol. "What are you a bat; you hear every sound?"

I didnt like Katie lying or rather spreading her mistruths about Steffy faking the blood clot. She had no knowledge of that

[Eric83]

Lmao at Bill getting frustrated at Liam.

Hope really wish she would STFU whining about ending Hope for the Future bc she's not with Liam. Zzzzzzz.....

Oh wow I completely forgot about Oliver. Does he do anything or just randomly pops up like this?

[Cheap21]

He randomly pops up. He actually did more today than he's done in months where all he does is take pictures at the photo shoots, sometimes not even getting any lines

[AllMyDaysatGH]

I wish they'd give Hope & Oliver another REAL shot.
