Unpopular Opinions: 2012 Edition

I think the location footage is beautiful.

Taylor's wardrobe is hilarious - not sure if that's intentional.

I think I'd like Steffy more if she actually was a vixen.

This whole triangle with Steffy/Liam/Hope is written in a way where it's tough to understand what the show is saying. Are we supposed to agree with Bill that Hope is damaged for life? That's a pretty repulsive view.

Their fashion isn't perfect. but it's better than the majority of other soaps. Y&R is good, but often times lifeless and drab, and on the total other end of the spectrum, Days looks like it shifts between rejects from Forever 21 and Sears.

Actually, that's the one thing I like about the triangle right now. We're not being told which side to choose. It's not being written in black and white anymore, it's gotten grey, which is far more interesting.

Funny thing is, I could give a damn who Liam ends up with yet I'm really enjoying the story now. The only reason I am rooting for Hope is because I want Steffy with Bill.

I know, I know, it's like Brooke & Thorne- it's probably not gonna happen again.

Just once, though, just once, I'd like to see a Don Diamont character end up with the character I want him to be with long-term, while the right actress is still playing the part!

I feel like we're being told to side with Steffy. She has a chorus of people talking about how awesome she is, and how she was in love with Liam and he betrayed her, while Hope is the hypocritical, pill-popping headcase who will be scarred for life because she's nuts and her mother is a whore.

I don't like wardrobe on B&B, I've seen better stuff on ModCloth but I do think it's the best produced soap(including the recent canceled ones). You turn on the show and the sets and location shots look so beautiful and the editing is well done.

Really? See, I see it that Hope has been and is being victimized and is now being screwed out of her 2nd chance at happiness with Liam due to outside interference.

I feel like the show is saying Hope/Liam just have no relationship in reality - she was unhappy as soon as they got together, and now he wants Steffy again.

I don't mind triangles where the show is clearly biased, if the story is worth it, but Bill kills this story for me. He is disturbing.

And it doesn't hurt they they have the Baddest Bitch on Daytime TV in Jacqueline MacInnes Wood. I wish every soap had a vixen like her, She is classic soap through and through.

That she is, which is why I enjoy watching her a helluva lot more than the catty hags that are propped up as 'heroines' on the other soaps.

On another note, I also enjoy Dollar Bill as a character.

Not because he is hot or a compelling character, but because he is a sleazy piece of sh*t and knows it. Add the fact that the show doesn't try to pretend that Bill Spencer, Jr. is anything more and this is why I can enjoy him in all his smarmy glory.

Hmmm, maybe some of you are right about B&B being the best American daytime soap on the air.

They seem to be pretending his entire relationship with Steffy never existed.

I think one of the death knells of soaps has been having a lot of sleazy characters and then having some faint attempt at calling them out, then back to the usual sleaze. GH's Sonny, TSJ's Todd, Victor on Y&R, Greenlee on AMC. The idea is supposed to be that when they trampled over everybody, they were somehow more honest, or real.

I don't know what Bill is supposed to be but I don't think they intend for him to be a man who pimps out women and treats them like manure. Then again, considering Brad Bell's writing, maybe they do.

I used to think Steffy was the vixen and badass until this Liam nonsense. People complain about Hope being propped, Steffy has become the epitome of propping. Everyone thinks she's some terrible victim of Hopes and seems to treat her as such. I really don't get it.

You know what? To be honest with you, at the moment, I think it is too. My only issue with B&B is they have problems writing for their talented supporting cast. I am looking forward to Joanna Johnson's return and am curious as to what they're gonna do with Crystal Chappell, who seems to be living out her lesbian fantasies vicariously through her characters.

B&B is the best soap on the air right now

B&B is the best soap on the air right now

At least they seem to have some sort of direction now unlike the other soaps and unlike years past when it just seemed to be return to Taylor, Ridge, Brooke round xxxxxx

I never found Amber Tamblyn amazing and the last few things I saw her in she sucked

IA. She's always been HIGHLY overrated on GH
