B&B: March 2012 Discussion Thread

[DRW50]

Thanks. I guess they couldn't get that annoying woman from DAYS, the Bravo woman, whatever her name is.

[DaytimeFan]

Has Jackie been written out yet?

[DRW50]

Her last scenes were a week or two ago. She and Owen reunited.

[DaytimeFan]

Did they head off into the sunset? Or were they just dropped? What I'm saying is, was their a sense of finality?

[DRW50]

I think they just reunited but didn't leave. I assume we just won't see them again. I might be wrong though.

[Juliajms]

I'll miss LAD< but I think the show is making the right decision by beefing up the Spencer clan. I just hope it doesn't fizzle out.

[DaytimeFan]

That's a shame. I would have preferred to see LAD clink a glass of champagne on a flight to London with Owen never to be seen again. A little finality.

[DRW50]

That would have been nice. They had such good chemistry - I guess at least they let her have a happy ending.

[Antoyne]

Her wigs started distracting me in the last two years, but she was definitely a fabulous woman.

HBS def. looks refreshed.

I just noticed that Taylor's name has been changed in the opening and she's dropped Jones. When did that happen? I see Donna still has her married name.

Speaking of the opening, boy are they going to have to do some major changes as Owen, Jackie and Nick need to be dropped. This is going to be the first major revision since it debuted last year. I hope it doesnt come across looking choppy and noticeable

[AllMyDaysatGH]

Thanks! I wasn't sure

Oliver also needs to be taken out. When they dropped Whip out of the opening, it didn't seem choppy but since they have a lot to take out now it might this time. There's going to be a lot fewer cast members. LOL. I wonder how they'll structure the ending of the opening since Nick is the one who currently closes it.

I went back and read the TV guide article about B&B's new opening. What the heck was Brad Bell talking about when he said the opening was going to "evolve" over time and be an ongoing surprise for the audience? "It's set up so that the various elements, from music to special effects, will constantly change," Bell says. "It'll be a fun, ongoing surprise for the audience."

The only surprise I've seen is some digitally integrated bats fly across the runway during last years Halloween ep. LOL

At least B&B has continually updated its credits over the years. (Y&R - what is up with that? I just don't get it.) I think what we'll see on B&B is that the core 4 and maybe the Logan women shot and then all the solo shots like they did with Franz and Young. I'm fine with that. (Although, they may group the Spencer family together.) Bell made the right decision in shipping off Nick, Jackie and Owen in favor of the Spencers.

[Cheap21]

LOL....I forget that Oliver is even still a part of the cast. I thought he left like last year

[P.J.]

Completely spaced that B&B wouldn't be on today or tomorrow.

[DRW50]

I just wish these characters actually felt like a family. I never bought Nick and Jackie as mother and son, and I don't buy Liam and Bill as father and son. Yes, they look alike, but Bill's skeeviness regarding Liam's love life is not mixed with any type of quasi-parental concern that sometimes makes Taylor, Brooke, and Ridge less creepy as parents.

I had never watched the full credits before. They look so much like a German soap. I like them. I just wish there weren't so many MIA characters in them.
