B&B: January 2014 Discussion Thread

[Juliajms]

I totally agree about Quinn. Rena Sofer is playing the hell out of this part and I love it. I'm also loving Ridge. I like Hope, but having two guys practically worship her is boring. I can't root for her because she really has nothing to overcome. As much as I love JMW as Steffy, maybe they need to recast.

[Ponds]

I hope to hell that Ridge starts dating Katie. Looking forward to the tears & snot coming down Brooke's face.

[Juliajms]

Me too. Katie/Ridge would have been awful with Ron Moss in the role, but I'm really enjoying their scenes with TK in the role.

Did Quinn do something to Clarence? I've been looking for his updates and I haven't seen one in a few weeks.

[DRW50]

On the one around Thanksgiving he looked ill. I hope he's OK.

[sheilaforever]

Clarence has been MIA before. Not sure why. I hope he makes a triumphant comeback soon. His recaps are so fitting for the show as they are equally campy.

[Cat]

I hope he's ok, too. He did updates right through Christmas and New Year so I hope he's just on a much needed vacation.

I hadn't realised he looked ill!

[DRW50]

He was OK on most of them, but that one, he seemed to have a hard time getting his thoughts out, there was no flow or energy.

Maybe it was just an off day.

Either way I hope he'll be back soon.

Sometimes B&B makes it difficult for even the most talented comedians, lol.

Seriously, though, give us an update on how Clarence is doing, B&B.

[Ann_SS]

So Brad is doing Katie and Ridge? Eh, it won't last long.

The last time Clarence disappeared for a long time, he had cancer. I remember when he returned he looked drawn and ill. He thanked CBS and B&B for their support. I hope this is not reason again.

[Cat]

Clarence. {{good vibes}}

Thorsten Kaye has saved the character "Ridge."

[edgeofnik]

ITA - He has great presence onscreen, which is really needed for this pivotal character. Not only that, the chemistry with both HT and KKL is outstanding. I would've never bought Ratie, but somehow he is making it plausible. (I'm still not convinced, but I'm willing to give it a shot.) The biggest problem B&B has always faced is that the men are pretty weak - no real Alpha Males (sorry, RM was not an alpha). Dollar Bill changed that and so I'm glad they recast Ridge with someone who can pull that off when necessary.

Hope, the minute u say no to Wyatt...you'll be taken out to the desert in that RV.

[ISPICE]

Can somebody please fix Liam's beard? I've never found him particularly attractive but I definitely think that if he shaved the way his dad does, he would look much better. Then again, DD is pretty much a metrosexual, while SC probably isn't...or maybe I should blame Hair & Makeup.
