B&B: April 2012 Discussion Thread

[P.J.]

What started out as a nice homage to Caroline I has turned into a Ridge creepfest. The way he looks at this woman (who's younger than his daughter) comes off as borderline obsessive. And I certainly don't trust B&B not to go there.

And I'm sure the way I burst into laughter at Ronn Moss' "grief" was not what B&B intended.

B&B must have the creepiest older men on daytime.

I'd still like to see more complexity in how Stephanie, Taylor, and Brooke felt about the first Caroline, even if they see this Caroline as a pawn.

omg, the Carolnie scenes today were so heavy handed. Oh and she even has a tattoo of the cancer ribbon. It was too much today and it did nothing for me as this girl had no connection to Caroline. Her mother never even knew her.

[DRW50]

I know I already asked this, but are they saying Caroline had breast cancer? Or is that just an unofficial ribbon for any type of cancer or leukemia?

[AMCHistory]

I think you called it PJ. The next Mrs. Ridge Forrester has been identified.

Bill Sr. is probably spinning in his grave.

I don't really have a problem with the Ridge/Caroline thing. I hope they DON'T go there, but it is refreshing to bring this very important part of the show's history to the present. (Remember in several countries the show was called "Caroline".) The irony is that RM is the lead credit in the opening, but he is a definite #3 of the original 4, so I don't mind giving him some screen time and someone outside of the usual circle, but with roots firmly planted in the show's history. With the long hair, old Caroline and new Caroline - so similar. (I remembered Caroline with shorter hair.)

I thought it was interesting the Stephanie told Caroline that she loves Amber. Really? What's the history behind that? Is it tied to Brooke?

Lord, please keep RM from crying - ever again!

When Amber first came to town, as trash, Stephanie felt a little sorry for her, especially when a pregnant Amber risked her life and her baby's life to try to save Stephanie from Sheila. I think she had a soft spot for Amber for a while after that, although I could swear she'd turned her back on Amber in Amber's last years in LA.

[DRW50]

I just watched this and that scene where she showed the tattoo on the back of her neck was a little disturbing. It made me think she was actually some alien. It really took me out of the scene, which up to then had been nicely done.

I see Jacob Young has been hitting the gym. He looked yummy with no shirt on

[DRW50]

They avoided the full body angle, compared to Thomas, but I just wish they could tell him to avoid the spray tan.

I did like that Caroline called Hope over so she wouldn't have to deal with men fighting over her.

I haven't seen Friday's episode, but I actually thought Ronn Moss did a really good job on Thursday.

+1

Although Hope is far from perfect, I see zero redeeming qualities in Steffy.

I have to say I am enjoying the introduction of Caroline so far. B&B entertains me everyday and I guess ultimately that is the point....to be entertained. I do however truly despise Steffy and her ridiculous ear biting and her cha cha cha's to Liam. OMG she sucks LOL

[Chris B]

I kinda like Caroline, but the most exciting things for me, are the two things that will be dropped---Amber and a flawed Hope. You just know Amber is going to get kicked to the curb and she's breathing so much life into the show and Hope will be Sainted any day now.

[Juliajms]

Is it possible that Caroline is a Forrester? Karen/Thorne hooked up, right? Did Karen/Ridge?

[JellicleCat]

I doubt it. She would have no romantic options at all if she was a Forrester. (Well except Marcus I guess, but that is highly unlikely)
