Well, I admit this show can't be trusted. You'd have to be as naive as Charlie Brown kicking Lucy's football one more time to really trust that Brad will deliver.

That said this show still entertains me, as much as it frustrates me. It amounts to 17 mins a day, so I'll keep watching.

Bill spoke with such disdain of Katie on the plane "she has my company...I'm a weekend dad when Katie lets me see my son..." only to end with "I'm going back to your sister"?! It's a sad day when moRon Carlivati's product is better than a CBS soap :(

I watched yesterday to see this for myself and actually could believe my eyes and ears because this is BB. No need to watch further.

I'm hoping Katie at least makes him work for it. If she simply takes him back like this is an answer to a prayer, I'm gonna be sick. Still, I think having that lady remind Katie that Brooke/Bill was exactly what she wanted is leading us to that out come. Grr!

"Carol" is a fool for agreeing to have Maya work with Rick again. I hope that Rick/Caroline at least get hitched before the inevitable Rick/Maya hook up. I have my heart set on Rick and Caroline being the next gen Eric and Stephenie.

I think the Ridge recast was not planned so soon, but once they decided that Brill was pure filth only a handful would buy and was of no value to the show, they decided to bring back Ridge. Not even on BB does this schlock make sense.

And the way it was done was absolutely ridiculous. But it was to preserve Dollar Bill. No one dumps him!

They're over, but if I were you, I'd wait a few more days to start watching. Brooke, Katie and Bill are having this stomach turning conversation now. Brooke basically begging Katie to take Bill back. Telling her how wonderful he is and that Brooke wants Katie's happiness more than Katie does because Katie isn't jumping to get Bill back. Brooke actually went on about how hard it is to stop loving Bill. It's beyond words disgusting. Brooke is still this man's apologist after everything he's done.

I can't even. Like, I am watching this via the latest Clarence Update and even I can't believe this bullsh!t rewrite is happening on B&B.

It would have been SO much better if Katie had brought Ridge back to LA to destroy Brill's happiness -- maybe even trifle with Brill by pretending to have a fling. It would have been epic, say, to have them walking in on a press conference/fancy party Bill has thrown to announce his engagement to "Brooke Logan---"

"Forrester!" shouts NuRidge as he sashays in with Katie smiling smugly on one arm and sultry Steffy on his other.

"OMG! It's Ridge Forrester returned from Paris!" squeals Jared in the front row (to let us know who the dude with the scraggy hair and 11-hour beard is).

Katie gives Bill the death stare. Steffy gives Hope the death stare then Bill & Brooke the death stare. Ridge gives Brooke the death stare. Camera pans to Brooke looking utterly shocked before it -- fades to black.

Per your recommendation, I watched to see for myself. At this point, what can you say?

From Brooke on the plane basically telling Bill "this was all your idea...I fought you every step of the way, but you convinced me" to "Bill is a hard man to stop loving and you are wrong for not taking him back", I almost lost my cookies! Brooke was more than willing to take a sledgehammer to Katie's life for her latest and greatest Destiny and Katie failed Bill and Brooke is the person he has waited for his entire life only for it to be turned around suddenly & completely w/out any drama? Why are TIIC continually getting away with this?! Even if the pairing was a complete and utter fail, ride it out and give the audience some type of payoff!

Just a few weeks ago DD [who really really needs to let a few grays in because he's reminding of an 88 year old Bob Barker who refused to go gray] said that Brill were soul mates. Guess he didn't have the same information TIIC had.

Brill was foul but this 360 is even worse!

    • 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.
    • Martin and Smitty were designed to avoid the stereotype of gay men sleeping around (which to an extent is true). If you recall Martin had a line about them not being open when Chelsea came to talk to him. The producers are walking a very fine line right now and it might not be popular to say but I can understand it. Establishing enough footing to ward off complaints will let them showcase gay characters more openly later.
    • The week was decent. They have started to rotate their stories and finally got a rhythm going. I disagree about them allowing every character to have a moment to shine though. Nicole really hasn't been given anything to do. I completely agree with all this. I adore Doug and hope he makes it through.

    • There was the one appearance in '96, but otherwise, that's correct as far as I know.
    •   It's working fine now.

        Question for the B&B group: I see @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded multiple seasons from Videoland  (in the folders that are to be put away). They are huge folders and difficult to download so I started breaking them down into months but I realized they are by season so for example, Season 4 spans from March 1990 to March 1991. Now I'm wondering where to actually place them, since we have the Full Episodes section divided by year, not seasons. And most of these seasons we already have in full, so these are duplicates. Not sure if it's necessary to keep the older versions. I could just make another new section for Seasons, so the main folders would be "Behind the Scenes and Interviews," "Clips," "Full Episodes," "Full Seasons," "Music CDs," and "photo archive Marquise" but I'm not sure that really makes sense. Also wondering since we have almost every full episode now if "Clips" can be deleted in its entirety, as it's nearly 300GB.
    • CBS moving Murder, She Wrote from Sunday to Thursday was straight up sabotage. Les Moonves knew exactly what he was doing.
