Flannery OUT at B&B

[MrQuartermaine]

It's times like these when B&B is regretting that they killed off Bill Spencer Sr. & Beth Logan, as well as writing off Stephen Logan, Margo Lynley, & Clarke Garrison.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

When DAYS is likely canceled next year, Brad will go after Lauren Koslow (if he hasn't already).

But it probably won't matter, B&B has already shifted to the "new generation." The older generation is just supporting at this point and it will likely stay that way.

[yr9190]

Bradley is kidding himself if he thinks that his "new generation" of the younger cast is on par to what AMC or even OLTL did with their younger cast ( From the looks of that not necessarily strong story telling, but at least attempted, and made everyone aware that there was a younger cast)

It's just ridiculous that the son of Bill Bell does not get that there is plenty of muti-telling stories you can come up with for the kids of the B&B.

It's on Par with OLTL's most recent youngerr cast in the boring crap department.

[yr9190]

I didn't really watch a lot of OLTL towards the end, but from what I did see of the younger cast seemed more interesting than what B&B is doing with the triangle from hell, I know people hated the Ford Brothers (and I wasn't talking about that) but the bullying story seemed like a good attempt at a social issue, even though the acting wasn't on par as it could have been.

[DaytimeFan]

I'm here! I'm here! And I've long thought Margo Lynley is the ONLY character that could ever rival Stephanie, that's certainly how Bill Bell wrote her. With Bill Spencer Jr and Liam so prominent on the canvas, a return from Margo would be natural.

Lauren DOES need to stay on DAYS...she is the absolute best part of the show and often the sole reason I tune in...until it's cancelled...

B&B has shifted its generation, but Koslow has the advantage of being far younger than Flannery and McCook, but more mature than Katherine Kelly Lang, who would be a natural screen partner for her.

Brad SHOULD go after Lauren Koslow. Her limited 'flashback' return in 2002 was interesting because the character still had relevance to the canvas...the actress and character will have even more relevance with Flannery's departure.

[JackPeyton]

B&B has done a great job of reducing her role on the show for years now and Flannery is taking a very graceful way out. This is how a departure of a vet should go, bravo to both involved and i await her final story.

[Mr. Vixen]

I'm very sad to see her go. It's a big blow to B&B.

If they're bringing in another older actress, as some have suggested, I would love to see Denise Alexander or Robin Strasser.

[DeeeDee]

B&B better nail down the craft services table.

[Vee]

I think Erika Slezak in a darker role could be interesting. That's been something I've thought about for something else for a long time. But I don't know if she'd be too into a regular LA commute, although Erika recently made it very clear she would go where work was.

If Y&R keeps [!@#$%^&*] up, Brad could always do the unthinkable: Import Jess Walton.

From being very much on the outside, B&B's central youth triangle looks very strong to me, writing aside. I like the two girls from what I've seen, and Scott Clifton is handling a lot the way I knew he could at OLTL had that strange strain of Fronsian moralism not engulfed the show. But I'm well aware that beyond those couple kids they ain't got much going. Sometimes a simple story, like that triangle, can do a lot.

[DaytimeFan]

I've been thinking that as well...if Y&R doesn't take her, B&B just might. And heck, they could bring her on as Jill.

[DeeeDee]

She's the only person that could fill Darlene's shoes.

[Skin]

Why haven't they brought back BE as Macy yet? I mean she's like right there. I'm surprised they haven't called her back.

[DRW50]

She was just on AMC until last summer. She left under bad circumstances too.

[Skin]

What bad circumstances? Because she wanted to leave for AMC back in 2003?
