Well, you guys were right, Katie signed. Unbelievable. I'm starting to think that part of the problem here is Heather Tom's acting. Hear me out people! She goes into kick ass Victoria Newman mode and gets our hopes up, instead she should be playing Katie as weaker and unsure of herself, even when it seems like she is taking charge. Otherwise, it really doesn't make sense. How does taking Bill back and signing those papers mesh with some of those scenes she's had when she's in kick ass mode? It's schizophrenic.

Actually, it's the writing that schizo, HT killed those scenes in July/August. As I said, the other day, I could not believe what I was seeing at my Mom's house on Monday. I was stunned, but it wasn't HT's performance, it was that the writers suddenly had her as weak woman who couldn't survive without her man. We went from Katie tossing Bill @$$ to the curb and getting his company in like two business days to a 180 degree turn in basically one day. I'm not sure what the overall goal is here - I always like Bill & Katie as a couple - it's just bizarre.

They had to. Brooke has always been this show's work horse. She creates so much of the drama, but this time around I think they almost went too far. IMO, the character was inches away from being destroyed for the audience for good.

They were really close to creating a younger generation that could have taken over, but when Steffy left, that went to hell, imo. Hope without Steffy is like going back to the 90's and basing the show on Taylor without Brooke. No one's got time for that.

On many shows, I would be done with this Brooke, but B&B is such a cartoon, that my standards are way different. I usually give these characters a clean slate as long as they suffer a little after each misdeed. That's why I keep forgetting that Katie screwed Bridget's husband. It's the only way I can keep watching.

So yeah, I'm glad Brooke finally came through for her sister and because of that I'll actually care a little when her next scandal comes along.

Wow. I just saw the little snippet that CBS posted - how awesome was Brooke turning the tables on Bill. I have to say B&B was incredibly clever with the twists this past week. First, Bill dumping Brooke, Katie taking Bill back, Bill lying through his teeth and going back to Brooke, and, now, Brooke out "Billing" Bill. CBS PLEASE post that Clarence update soon!!! smile.png

UPDATE - Clarence's Best Line: (Clarence imitating Brooke (to Katie): "No, he didn't get everything, WATCH THIS NEXT SCENE!) LOL

It's kind of a toss-up regarding DD acting on Y&R and B&B. Also, B&B acting is very different than Y&R because of the camp nature of B&B v Y&R. Honestly, DD managed to create a completely different character despite being on the show that precedes B&B for years. (That is an accomplishment itself. I rarely think of him as Brad) However, the real "magic" is that DD made $Bill a force of nature on the show. For a program that has been so heavily dominated by women (Stephanie, Brooke, Taylor, etc.), we finally got someone with real b@lls.

I watched the last 2 episodes bc of you guys and first thing I noticed is that Taylor, Thomas and Steffy's shot is still in there. Man B&B is slow as hell to update. I would assume they will when Ridge joins but then again, they didn't add any of the other hires from the last few months so who knows

Sorry but I don't give a damn about Brooke! So what now she wants to defend her sister? Too late! She already done f--ked him all over LA. So now she thinks he's so heartless for fooling her little sister into giving him back his company and joint custody of their son? Why didn't she feel that way when he dumped her and took up with Brooke. Now hos want to have a conscience. Bitch please! Get the F out of here. She'll be back in his bed by Christmas

The one black girl at Spencer and she gets fired. Sorry!

I still don't care for Hope or Wyatt

Carter and Rick are friends....WTF?

    • 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.
