B&B: July 2012 - Discussion Thread

[Chris B]

I don't understand how they ran Adrienne Frantz off so soon. I figured she'd stick it out. I was so disappointed because they need to develop other younger characters other than Steffy, Hope & Liam. I thought Rick, Amber, Dayzee and Marcus were a good addition to that next generation and should've been developed into frontburner storylines. Then you have Bill & Katie leading slightly older storylines with Brooke, Ridge and Taylor in a more supporting capacity. I also feel like Crystal Chappell has been wasted, Caroline is too vanilla, Thomas is a disaster and there will always be potential for Thorne and especially Felicia.

Right now I appreciate that the show is very watchable and the ratings are good, but eventually people will get sick of Liam, Steffy and Hope. It's not that the story is bad, but it can't be the only on-going story. Even in the Brooke/Ridge/Taylor days you had other stories that were real frontburner stories throughout the year. Now it's Steffy/Liam/Hope and other characters get bits and pieces of story every now and then. It's getting a little tiresome.

JY looked great. Looked like he had work done.

The bedsides scenes with Anthony were unintentionally funny because the guy was so bad. Between the heavy breathing, little gasps and his "throw the book at him" attitude it was quite comical.

I love Dayzee's new hair and I much prefer this look to those braids she were sporting a year ago. She looked gorgeous and I so want a triangle between her, Marcus and Thomas. The way Thomas looks at Dayzee is like the only thing he wants in the world is for her to be happy and he knows Marcus does that. I wish Bell would move forward with this storyline.

LMAO

OMG

[Cheap21]

Im surrised with how Anthony is acting in his story. I thought he'd be more lenient on Marcus bc he knows him and Dayzee and especially Marcus' character as a person. I didnt think he'd be out for his head

[Mr. Vixen]

I'm so happy Dayzee is actually getting a storyline.

Probably won't last long. Bradley occasionally throws a bone to the rest of the cast and then goes back to the primary couples.

They played Arms today

True but this is the longest she's ever been in focus outside her initial story with Stephanie

[JaneAusten]

This SL with Dayzee is supposed to go on for a while.

On a side note I know how many people here hate Hope but I thought her meltdown these past 2 days was actually pretty good.I'm notmsure if KM is intending to play it that way, but Hope is acting like she's borderline breakdown territory. But now there is a loophole and I guess Hope and Liam are married but to finalize it something needs to be signed. I missed what that was. So I guess now the SL continues for a few more weeks while hope debates on whether she should sign it. She should walk away.

Tried to watch B&B today, same ol same ol it seems.

[Cheap21]

You picked the wrong day. Beleive me, there were alot of black people on yesterday Hope/Liam/Steffy arent all this show has to offer...lol

It's so odd to me that these grown adults are this invested and enmeshed in the Steffy/Liam/Hope triangle. Don't these people have lives? It's so creepy to me that these adults are talking about Liam's sex videos and Hope's note. Like seriously, worry about your own marriages and sex life. Let them deal with it. The pow wow with Bill today with Ridge and Taylor was just ridiculous, grown people talking about a young man's sex tape one of whom Bill already screwed and then to have Brooke on top of it constantly harassing Steffy was just too much.

That's always creeped me out about this show since I started watching, Brooke-Ridge-Taylor are WAY to involved in their kids' lives, and Stephanie too. They make it so over the top.
