I taped a few episodes this week and am zapping through them.

Can we start a hip new game show called Where in the World Are Crystal Chappell's Eyebrows? Between that, the Botox, and the lip gloss I swear I saw plastered on some twink on Next Food Network Star, it's incredibly offputting. Meanwhile, aside from the grape trousers, Joanna Johnson has never looked better.

I'm so glad they were playing haha music when Bill thought Danielle was hitting on him - that lessens the chances this will be some story where he turns her.

I can't exactly credit B&B for being hip and cool, but I will say that I think the show does a better job of integrating blogs, gossip, and public fascination than the other soaps do. I cringe every time another bad actor/reality person goes on OLTL/GH as a news anchor and we have to hear recap, or when we get a 1995-era newspaper headline passed around town. I prefer little moments like Steffy saying gossip blogs have a countdown clock for the end of her marriage.

Steffy and Liam have a lot of chemistry. It's too bad that seems to be going nowhere.

I'm not sure Liam and Steffy are dead. I'm not convinced Hope is going to marry Liam. I think she's going to get cold feet or smarten up.

I think the thing B&B has going for it is it's set in LA and the fashion industry which I think lends a lot more credibility to some of that ridiculous trendy stuff the other shows like OLTL and GH fail at. I can even accept some of the more ridiculous story lines they do more than I could on any other show because they just don't seem that out of place. It's also the only show I think where there are all women driving story aside from maybe Bill.

And yes CC IMO looks dreadful and it's not her wardrobe and Joanna Johnson fantastic.

And I'm still not getting what Deacon is supposed to do once he's out of prison.

Some are saying Stefy left Liam of the hook. I don't see it that way if he didn't planned to let the Divorce be final, why didn't he just say something instead of letting Ms.Diva go on and on. If Hope hadn't called she would have still been going down memory lane. How a writer can may something like their marriage seemed more than it was. I think Liam love Steffy sexiual. But he needs to grow up, he never had a father and Bill is a poor sample of a father who want his son to marry the woman he had an Affair when so he can be close to her.

Ever since someone (I think it was cheap) told me that these 2-minute marriages are the way that B&B rolls, I've simply stopped trying to apply logic to time and distance when it comes to this show. If they want me to believe that Liam/Steffy shared a deep-seated connection over the course of a millisecond-long marriage, then I will roll with it.

Seriously another episode and more of Hope whining that he didnt design her dress. Didnt she denounce him as her father a few months ago anyway? Heck she isnt even calling him dad anymore bc that was her way of sticking it to him

    • This is (maybe) overly simplistic and nonsoapy, but Doug needs to go to Gamblers Anonymous, to deal with the addictive neurological excitement hits that gambling gives him - and which control his life. Vanessa needs to go to therapy to find ways to remain healthfully lusty and sex-positive, but to stay away from anyone who would demean her.
    • YT keeps commending GL clips to me. I discovered Kathleen Cullen was on in Christmas 1987. Was there any talk of making it permanent  or was this just a special visit? I wish they had made the visit permanent. I liked her chemistry with Grant Aleksander.  
    • I'm not sure it's as unpopular as you think.  I just think the show knew they were in a bind, and needed a proven couple for the viewers to invest in. Trying to reunite Vanessa and Ross had just failed in 87. I don't think Ed and Holly's affair was well received, as Simon and Garrett had a brother/sister chemistry. Enter Billy and Vanessa, who give you history and an out not to try and do a Josh/Reva/Billy triangle, which would've really wrecked the relationship between Josh and Billy. I'd have been ok with trying Vanessa/Ross again, and doing a Vanessa/Ross/Holly/Billy quad for a while. I hated Nadine. HATED. She had to be the most insufferable also-ran before ATWT's Julia Lindsay. This is where I wish I knew Roger's history better.

    • GROSS. Michael Swan was hot back in his ATWT days. Now he's 76 and WAY past his hot years.    
    • Since she kidnapped, locked up and tried to kill her father's wife I'd say that is still a pretty big deal
    • I'm good with the gushing, too. There aren't many soap icons like John Black, and that's important to celebrate and remember. And yes, life does go on for other characters, but as they say, timing is everything. Going sky diving the day before the funeral? And during a week of shows that were so powerful emotionally? No.    
    • No. There might have been a slight pause for dramatic effect after his "death," but pretty soon after they showed him in France getting plastic surgery and getting involved with his doctor, then planning with her to bring Christina to France. (She thought he had good reason to do it; she wasn't a bad person or anything). Now that I think of it, there must have been some kind of pause before that, during the 70s. Rita was accused of killing a private patient for an inheritance when she lived in Texas. Part of the backstory was that Roger had been there, too. Not sure exactly when or how long that was.
