B&B: July 2012 - Discussion Thread

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.

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.

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. blink.png 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.

    • 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.
