B&B - your story ideas


Recommended Posts

  • Members

So, since I've started trying to watch the show more often, along with that comes wishes or desires for stories. I thought this thread could be used for any stories you also want to see.

I know a lot of this would never happen, and may suck, but, anyway...

1

Bill and Katie grow further and further apart due to his obsession with Hope. Meanwhile, Hope realizes that Liam is staying with her only out of obligation, and decides to be on her own. Liam reunites with a very happy Steffy. But Steffy soon finds that she was more interested in the unattainable than the reality - a guy who doesn't have much to offer her outside of the bedroom, a guy without a lot of personality or drive. Liam senses the distance, and becomes closer to Katie, who can barely even speak to Bill.

Steffy begins fantasizing about Bill. The chemistry between them flares up and while they're trapped at Big Bear during a power outage, they make love. Bill wants to divorce Katie, but his lawyer tells him that if he does, he'll lose half his fortune and a big chunk of the Spencer family business. Steffy refuses to be his mistress, and stays with Liam, who is increasingly suspicious. Not wanting to be trapped in a loveless marriage, yet not wanting to lose his money, Bill begins manipulating Liam and Katie into an affair. They have one night of comfort - enough for Bill's photographers to use to his advantage. He files for divorce on grounds of adultery.

Steffy goes on the warpath against Liam, but when he accuses her of sleeping with his father, she can't deny it. Steffy feels a slight pang of guilt when Bill brags to her that he set the whole situation up, but her mood only truly darkens when she overhears Bill telling his lawyers that he will never, ever marry Steffy, and he has much more fun having a whore, not a wife.

Steffy begins putting a plan together with Katie. Steffy convinces Bill to, because of Katie's threats and hints of knowing about Bill's adultery, sign his business holdings over to her, only for a brief amount of time. Bill, assuming Steffy is easily manipulated, goes along with this plan. The next day, he goes into his office, only to find Steffy and Katie. She says, in the interest of fairness, she's burying the hatchet with the Logans - in Bill's back. Katie and Steffy now own his share in Spencer 50-50.

Bill swears he'll make them pay, and grabs Katie. When they're arguing, she has a heart attack, rushed out of Spencer and to the hospital. Everything becomes a PR fiasco, and Karen flies in to LA to berate her brother for the damage he's done to their father's business. As far as she is concerned, he is too much of a liability and she is going to call the board to remove him from power.

Caroline stops by to comfort him, and, drunk out of his mind and wanting to make Karen pay, Bill tries to kiss Carline. When she pushes him away, he starts to pin her down onto the sofa. Caroline knees him in the balls and runs out into the night, almost being run over. Karen, Rick and Thomas find her in a state and she tells them what happened.

When Bill staggers out of a cab and to his house, a few hours later, he wonders why the power is cut off, but is too drunk to really care. Three shots ring out, and Bill falls to the floor.

As Bill lies in a coma for many weeks, the investigation into his shooting focuses on much of the cast. Finally, Steffy is arrested, after the gun is found in one of her cars. Steffy swears she's innocent. Finally, as the trial nears its end, Liam is revealed as the true culprit, and he admits he framed Steffy to pay her back. Liam is sent to prison, a shaken Steffy is cleared of all charges but has many regrets, and Bill begins waking up, forced to face all the damage he caused and the knowledge that his only child is now behind bars because of him.

Amber is annoyed when Rick becomes friendly with a beautiful new model at Forrester. Thinking that her last trick worked well enough, Amber tells her that Rick is sexually confused, and claims that many years ago, Rick and CJ were more than just friends. She even convinces Sean, a new gay designer at Forrester to take an interest in Rick. When the model sees Sean and Rick together, she decides Amber is right, and backs off. What Amber doesn't realize is that she isn't as far off from the truth as she assumed. Rick rebuffs Sean, but they become friends, and over time, just as Rick agrees to go out to dinner with Amber, he shares a kiss with Sean. Wanting to put it out of his mind, he starts dating Amber, but Amber senses what is going on. She begins digging into Sean's background.

Taylor begins getting notes that tell her Phoebe is still alive. At first she brushes this off, but they don't stop, and Taylor begins to wonder if this is true. When she tells Ridge, Steffy, and Thomas, they are divided - Steffy and Ridge are furious with her for reopening old wounds, while Thomas wants to know more.

Eric and Stephanie plan a big party. Eric is having bad chest pains, but doesn't want to worry Stephanie.

Meanwhile, Hope, wanting to try to focus on something other than her own problems, starts working with Stephanie at the homeless shelter. She befriends Angela, a terrified and abused girl. Stephanie, remembering her daughter Angela, takes this girl into her home, but somehow, her boyfriend and his brothers find out where she's living, and burst into the mansion during the big party. They hold the group hostage. One of them begins beating Angela. Hope shoves him away. He aims his gun at Hope, but Donna runs in front of her. Donna is killed. A furious Eric tackles him, beating him unconscious, as the second man is subdued by some other guests. Everyone wonders where the third man is, and then see him fleeing, with Taylor as his hostage. He's driving recklessly, and their car goes off a bridge. The car explodes, and nothing is left of either of them.

As the family grieves, Eric has another heart attack. The entire family, including Kristen, return to say goodbye. As Stephanie cradles him, he passes away.

Meanwhile, Taylor wakes up in a strange bed, unable to move due to her injuries. She sees Omar. She begs him to contact her family. He tells her he can't live without her. He does give her a choice - once she recovers, she can either go back to her family, or he can help her find Phoebe. Taylor realizes he is the one who has been sending her notes. While she partially believes that he is lying to her, when she looks in his eyes, she senses that Phoebe really is alive. If she can find her daughter, Taylor agrees to stay "dead."

Stephanie irrationally blames "those damn Logans" for everything which has happened, convincing herself that Hope brought Angela into the house and into their lives. At Donna's funeral, Stephanie waits in the shadows, holding a rifle. Before she can give in to her murderous rage, Pam, who had followed her, stops her, and begs her to see reality, and to think of what Eric would want. Stephanie slumps over, agreeing to check herself into a clinic.

Marcus, unable to stay in Los Angeles after losing his mother and Eric, leaves town. Dayzee initially plans to go with him, but stays with Thomas, who can't cope with losing his mother again, losing his grandfather, Stephanie's breakdown. Dayzee becomes his rock, and they make plans to marry. Ridge is enraged, forbidding Thomas from marrying Dayzee. Thorne defends Thomas, and, along with Felicia and Steffy, are the only guests to attend Thomas and Dayzee's wedding.

Ridge can't talk to Brooke about most of his feelings, because he can't talk to her about Taylor and he secretly blames her and her family for what has happened to Eric and Taylor and Stephanie. He also knows she is grieving Donna. This leads him to become increasingly cold at work and towards his children. Dayzee tries her best to prove herself to Ridge, but he shuts her down at every turn, humiliating her at work and at home. One night Dayzee overhears Ridge furiously ranting to Brooke about that "street trash" and that "black bitch." Dayzee begins to cry, but soon says to herself, "If he wants a black bitch, he's got one." She begins working with Thorne and Amber on plans to take control of Forrester and force Ridge out.

Stephen doesn't come to Donna's funeral. Brooke and Katie don't hear from him and have not in some time. Brooke is shocked to get a call one day that her father (now played by Jerry ver Dorn) has bought Spectra from Jackie, and the press conference will be today. She races to the press conference, desperate to talk to her father. As she gets there, Stephen walks out to the reporters, and says, "I want to introduce you to my beautiful wife."

Out walks Macy.

Carl, these ideas are amazing. I wasn't sure at first of what I thought about Katie and Liam's affair but as the story went on it fit perfectly. This is the kind of story B&B needs to tell. I love EVERYTHING! It has suspense, intrigue, scandal, it all! I do think it's a bit much though having Taylor, Donna and Eric all die within a few days or so, even though Taylor is actually alive.

And I am dying to know what happens next, please continue sharing!

Thanks for your kind words. I'm mostly waiting to see ideas other people have; I'm not sure what else I'd do (although I'd expand more on the Rick stuff - I would have an easier time believing he's bi/gay than I would with Thomas).

To me Donna and Eric are just about gone anyway, so I'd ramp up the drama by having this all happen as a chain reaction.

That is true about Donna and Eric. Their practically irrevelant. I do see Rick as bi-sexual and that storyline could actually be really good. Amber and Sean going at it would be fun to see even though I don't know who would play him, the stories are so good I could literally see them playing out my had.

I'd probably cast a Latino actor as Sean, although I guess someone would say that's tokenism...I'm not sure who I'd cast.

I would have him tied to Sheila (in blood anyway) but Y&R has ruined that forever.

I normally don't share ideas for fear of them being ripped to shreds (so be gentle LOL) . None are really all that fleshed out, but here goes.

1. So I feel the show doesn't ever seem to dive that deeply into Spencer publications and only ever talks about how successful it is. Given the struggles real publications are having in the digital age today, I'd bring a bit of that into B&B. Have the subscription numbers of his magazines fall to point that his ex-wife Katie Logan (or Steffy?) attempts a forceful takeover. To starve off this takeover, he hires a former supermodel that was all the rage 20 years ago but since retired and who every has begging to return to fashion. This character, (unnamed so far), I imagine being a cross between Sally Spectra and Wilhelmina Slater from Ugly Betty. I imagine the role being either Indian or African American, but I suppose any race would do. Bill manages to convince to be editor-in-chief of his magazine, but comes at a price.

2. I felt the whole Forrester Civil war thing that Brad teased with Ridge and Taylor, would of been a good story and sad it never went anywhere. I would bring it back, this time add Felicia and Kristin into it. Maybe have it be instigated by the death of Eric, leaving a battle for control of the company.

3. I feel Forrester Creations needs a rival fashion house to compete against. I'd bring the Spectra's back but with a twist. Don't have it all fleshed out, but an idea of a working class 20 something gay Latino and his sister who dream of someday having his own fashion house like Forrester Creations. They are accidentally discovered by my unnamed character from above and featured on the cover of the magazine. This catches the attention of Clark and CJ who have been trying to think of a way to revive Spectra Fashions. The Latino siblings disagree over whether to accept the offer, one wants to, other wants to "build it from scratch and not take easy way out".

4. I'd like to bring back Sheila to cause some trouble and fix what Y&R has done to her legacy, but on one hand maybe it's too ruined to fix and better left alone.

5. Sort of tied to number 4, but I'd bring Lauren Fenmore back to B&B. I'm not like how MAB is writing for her and their are stories you could tell for her on B&B.

I love your ideas. I especially like the idea of a takeover at Spectra. Foreign soaps (German, South African, at least) do these types of stories all the time. I think some high drama, high gloss business stories would be a breath of fresh air, and still keep viewers. They did for Y&R, when Bill Bell was writing.

My pitch would be:

1. To reignite the dropped Thorne & Taylor Tots takeover. After the scandal of Hope being a drug addict hits, hurting the Forrestor fashion sales, Thorne plots to restore the family to its old glory. Thorne (along with Steffy and Thomas) go against Ridge and Eric for control of Forrestor. Stephanie plays neutral for awhile before shockingly siding with... THORNE. Enter Kristen (Maura West), Felicia, and their kids -- Zende & Dino. Kristen sides with her daddy (playing off the history of the animosity between Kristen & Stephanie) and Felicia sides with Eric. Not to rock the boat, Ridge decides to get rid of Hope, pissing off Brooke and becoming strike one.

2. Make RJ (Drew Garrett) gay. Have Brooke be in favor while Ridge detests it as he feels he would NEVER have a gay son. Ridge tries to force RJ into dating female, further isolating him and pissing Brooke off. RJ & Ridge have a huge blowup and this results in Brooke and Ridge calling it quits. Ridge moves out and moves back in with Taylor. Meanwhile, Brooke finds solace in her lawyer and old beau, Connor. Connor encourage Brooke to buy Jackie M from Jackie and finally open a fashion house of her own. Brooke takes his advice and buys Jackie M (calling it Logans) but not before taking a parting shot at the Forrestors -- Brooke takes the BeLieF from the company along with hiring Kristen as her lead designer.

3. Heartbroken over Nick, Pammy goes to Sweden for retreat only to injure herself. She has to have surgery over there for the surgery under Dr. Lars Slovak and his mysterious nurse/wife, who turns out to be... Sheila. Pammy wakes up with Sheila sitting by her bed going by the name Charlotte. Pammy accuses Charlotte of being Sheila Carter and Charlotte states that she has no recollection of a Sheila Carter or Stephanie, but Pammy is sure that she is faking it. Overtime, Pammy grows to realize that Sheila may have changed and is not the same. Pammy basically helps Sheila reclaim her life (much to the chagrin of everyone) and prove that it was Sugar posing as Shelia those last few times on Y&R (along with proving that Daisy is not her daughter nor does she have a sister named Sarah, thus destroying that mess Maria created) and that she has changed. However, she hasn't. Sheila decides that this time around, she is gonna use Pam to be her sucker in finally getting rid of Stephanie.

Great. I would love to see them undo the Sheila disasters of Y&R's last decade. I normally would say it's not worth undoing story, just ignore it, but this is a major exception. And I'd like to see Alley Mills acting with Kimberlin Brown.

Zende coming back would be great too, along with a revitalized Kristen.

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.

    • I thought it got stale before Jocks death lol. His death picked things back up for me.
    • 1976 Pt 5 Tony is summoned to the reading of the will in the Llanfair library,as he’s a principal in the will. He tells Joe there’s not a chance of coming to terms with Dorian, as he is sure she brought about Victor’s death by torturing him emotionally when he was her helpless prisoner after his stroke. Ironically, Chapin hand delivers to Viki a letter her father wrote before his stroke, praising Dorian and asking Viki to befriend and support his widow when he was no longer there. Viki feels a responsibility to her father’s wishes and vows to try with Dorian. Victor’s will leaves the expected amounts to members of his family and staff, with the lion’s share of his stock and property going to Dorian. Victor’s will explains that his son Tony expressed the desire that he not be “bought from the grave,” and, in keeping with his son’s wishes, the only bequest to him is the knowledge of his father’s love and respect. Tony is deeply moved. Dorian’s first attempt to use her new power is the recommendation of Peter as head of the Merideth Lord Wolek hospital wing, claiming that naming Larry would be virtual nepotism. Peter, who has devoted considerable time and effort to helping Jenny get over Tim’s death with gentle, affectionate support, is happy at this suggestion, but Jenny points out Dorian is merely using him to hurt Larry. Viki disregards Dorian’s ingenuous assurances that she’s not trying to wield her new power but is merely putting Peter up for consideration for a future opportunity, if not this one, and tells her she won’t be able to fulfill her father’s desire that they be friends unless Dorian stops interfering. Larry, fully understanding Dorian’s personal motives, warns her he’s going to fight for the appointment no matter what. Realizing that she has made a tactical error, Dorian announces that she won’t even attend the board meeting but will give her proxy to Jim. She admits to Matt McAllister, still her confidant, that this was humiliating, but it was a necessary protective tactic. Dorian manages to win her next round at Joe’s office when, after he praises her decision to yield on appointing Peter, she expresses concern for Viki “at a time like this.” Joe, of course, jumps on her words, and Dorian, pretending great distress at having mentioned something she shouldn’t have, is “forced” to explain that she knew about the congenital heart condition Megan had and that any child of Joe’s is likely to inherit it. She overheard the doctors discussing it at the time of the accident, she continues, and naturally assumed that Joe already knew.  Joe arranges a meeting at home with Viki and asks her how she could live a lie like this; how she could go through their lives as if everything were fine while every moment was a lie. He is further upset when, in trying to explain that it was out of her love for him that she kept the truth from him, she mentions that Jim and Larry also know but Cathy still hasn’t been told. Viki tells Joe that Dorian deliberately told him this way to hurt their marriage, and she is very upset when he starts toward the door, pleading that they have always talked things out in the past. Joe coolly points out that she didn’t do that when she learned about Megan and continues out the door.  A tearful Viki is shaken and when Joe later returns, having spent several hours in a bar drinking only soft drinks,she breaks down, crying that she was convinced he’d left her. Joe assures her they can get through this despite everything, because their relation is based on love and mutual respect. 
    • If you think about it, DALLAS and DYNASTY grew stale right about the same time, even if the ratings were slow to reflect that.  FC and KL, on the other hand, tried to stay fresh, but KL was way more successful at it, I think, than FC.  (That [!@#$%^&*] with The Thirteen does not hold up well, lol).
    • GH 1976 Pt 8 Heather takes advantage of the situation by asking Jeff to come and look at Tommy. She uses sympathy, compassion, and her own feminine wiles, together with his misery and his pills, to lure him into bed. Later, sober, he apologizes. Learning from Pearson that Monica has seen a divorce lawyer, Jeff confronts her, and she insists it’s a lie. Avoiding his attempts to kiss her, she musses her hair and tears her blouse, then rushes to Rick’s, claiming that she can’t stay with that maniac any longer. They wind up in Rick’s bed, and after making love he confesses he always loved her. Rick replies to her question of whether he wants to marry her by saying he has to talk to Jeff. Monica insists that Jeff not bear any pressure from their problems. As she leaves, Rick gives her a key to his apartment. Jeff, having spent the night drinking, misses his surgical assignment, and Steve, informing him that his personal life can’t interfere with his profession, puts him on suspension. Rick can’t persuade Steve to reverse his decision, but Mark, sensing what’s at the heart of Jeff’s problem, convinces Steve to lift Jeff’s suspension and transfer him to Mark’s service. Rick asks for his key back, telling Monica they can’t do anything as long as she’s under Jeff’s roof. So she has a duplicate made and moves into intern’s quarters, explaining that Jeff’s violence drove her out. She tells Jeff she needs privacy to work things out, and tells Rick Jeff wanted her out. Thinking that this is the preliminary to a divorce, Rick tells her she can come to his place. In New York, Leslie’s abortion is delayed by a mix-up in scheduling, and she calls Terri to commiserate. Rick overhears Terri’s conversation and forces the whole story from her. He flies to New York to stop Leslie, feeling responsible for pointing out how evil Cam was, and arrives to find that she has decided she can’t deny her child the right to live. Monica, meanwhile, expecting that Rick will be home, uses her key to let herself into his apartment and is shocked to find Mark there; knowing that Mark was uncomfortable at the hotel, Rick offered Mark use of the apartment in his absence. Monica is upset to learn that Rick is in New York with Leslie, and Mark doesn’t know why. Mark does advise Monica to play fair with Jeff, but she resents his interference. The next day, while covering for Leslie at the clinic, Monica discovers Leslie’s lab test report and jumps to the conclusion that the baby is Rick’s. When Rick and Leslie return, Monica wastes no time in accusing him. He is dismayed to see that she is still as suspicious and possessive as she was before he went to Africa, and points out that her making a duplicate  key proves she hasn’t changed. Terri encourages Leslie to see Rick in a romantic light and then suggests to Rick that Leslie is interested in him. Rick likes this idea and tells Mark he’s growing ‘unwilling to cope with Monica’s unreasonable demands. But Monica immediately recognizes the threat Leslie represents and decides to attack. She goes to Leslie and tells her flatly that she and Rick are having an affair and he’s her exclusive property. Leslie, who realizes she has been falling in love with Rick, is hurt, and Rick is mystified when he feels Leslie pulling away from him. Monica’s big moment comes when she brings Rick a housewarming gift and seduces him into letting her stay overnight. She is in the bedroom when Leslie stops by to apologize for refusing his dates, and makes a dramatic entrance into the living room draped in Rick’s bathrobe. Leslie turns and runs out. Rick later informs her he’s disappointed in her, because she prejudged Monica and him rather than giving him the benefit of the doubt. Heather tries to arrange another tryst with Jeff, but he replies that he still loves his wife. Heather decides there’s only one way to get Jeff to be pregnant with his child. She manages to overhear Monica putting Jeff down by telling him he no longer turns her on and should look for someone he does. Heather goes to Jeff and tells him that she heard Monica and that she is the one he’s looking for. She manages to get him into bed again, and sweetly assures him this is right. She then sets the stage for future meetings. Steve, meanwhile, offers to help Monica and Jeff work out their problems. Jeff is willing, but Monica turns the idea down. Instead, she presses Terri to convince Jeff to end the marriage. Terri now knows that Monica isn’t a good wife for Jeff and promises to try. But Jeff makes it clear to Monica that he still loves her and won’t let her go. She is bitter and upset, as she has already implied to Rick that she will soon be free. Audrey is upset to find that Florence Andrews has been inquiring about Tommy and herself. She goes to Florence’s home and finds she’s away now. Florence has gone down to Mexico to sign a sworn statement that she purchased a false death certificate for Tom, to protect his son after his wrongful conviction. Tom, learning from her that Steve and Audrey are to be married and Steve is planning to adopt Tommy, tells  Florence not to do anything, as there’s still no assurance that he’ll ever get out. But the judge does accept the statement, and, ironically, on the day that Steve  and Audrey are married, Tom is released from prison.
    • 1976 Pt 12 Final part Laurie agrees with Stuart that Peggy is rushing into marriage to prove that the rape didn’t ruin her life.  She points out that the only way Peg can be sure is to make love with Jack before the wedding. Stuart admits she’s right but points out that he can’t suggest that to Peggy. As the wedding approaches, Peg seems happy that Jack’s become close to the family. However, her happiness is shattered by a nightmare in which her loving bridegroom turns into a leering Ron Becker, forcing her to cancel the wedding. Jack reassures her he’ll wait as long as it takes, and Chris confides that she and Snapper didn’t consummate their marriage on their wedding night because of her own rape experience, but Peggy tells Chris she might never be ready.  Despite her desire to keep Karen as her own daughter, Chris helps a police artist create a sketch of Nancy so it can be printed in the newspaper as part of a search for her. When the attempt proves fruitless, however, Chris asks Greg to file application for permanent custody of the child. Greg points out that adoption is the only way to prevent Ron from returning and claiming the child, and that it will take quite a while. Meanwhile, a nurse in the psychiatric ward sees a resemblance  between the newspaper drawing and her autistic patient, Mrs. Jackson, but since “Fran” doesn’t respond to the name Nancy and no one else sees the similarity, she fears she’s mistaken. Jill is horrified to overhear Kay, when brihging baby Phillip a Christmas gift, telling the child she remembers the night he was conceived. Kay has to then admit to Jill she saw her with Phillip in the bunkhouse that night. Jill is aghast to realize that Kay new the truth all along and put her through such agony in spite of it, denying her baby his father’s name. Lance tells Laurie they’ll marry on Valentine’s Day. He laughs that it’s corny but agrees, secretly wishing it were sooner, as Vanessa has vowed to prevent it. Indeed, Vanessa makes an unprecedented venture out of the house to visit Brad, telling him to rebuff any advance Leslie might make to him, as she’s reaching out to him only from a sense of duty. But Laurie then makes a concerted effort to reach Vanessa. Without being sure why she’s trying so hard, she tries to assure the woman she’s not losing Lance and she, Laurie, will help her find a plastic surgeon somewhere who can help her. Grudgingly, Vanessa seems to be reconsidering her view of Laurie, and Laurie is delighted when Lance offers her a choice between two diamond necklaces, explaining that her preference will be Vanessa’s Christmas gift. Learning from Les about Brad’s blindness, Stuart tells Brad he could have turned Leslie away only out of great love. Knowing that Les is going to see Brad again, Laurie warns him not to bring the baby into their discussion, as Leslie will come back only she’s convinced he loves her, not for the babies sake. Leslie finds Brad disheveled and sloppy, and proceeds to straighten the apartment, stating that she can't respect him if he lets himself go. Realizing that neither Brad nor Les will make the first move, Laurie hurries things along by refusing to help Brad with his grooming, saying he should ask his wife. Then, having learned  that Brad offered Les the use of their piano, Laurie untunes the Brooks' piano forcing Leslie to accept his offer. By refusing to cater to his  blindness, Les manages to get Brad to stop wallowing in pity, and by the time Leslie’s Christmas braille message of her love and her need for him arrives, they are husband and wife again Lance takes Laurie on a business trip on New Year's Eve, and tells her, on board his plane, she won't be  won't be able to call him “Mr. All Talk and No action” after tonight. When Laurie protests that waited this long and will continue to wait until married, Lance delights her by instructing his pilot to land in Las Vegas, where they are married immediately.
    • Yeah, not sure why Jack and Jen didn’t rush to Marlena - or even Carrie - to offer their condolences. A few flashbacks would've been a nice touch too. Instead, we got a whole episode of them talking about Chad and Abby? Come on. On the bright side, I loved Anna’s scenes with Marlena and Carrie - sweet and heartfelt, felt like a real 80s throwback.
