B&B - April 2014 Discussion Thread

While Zach Conroy is no Sir Laurence Olivier, he has gotten better in his time at B&B. His Oliver is the only guy in his age group I like to see. Liam and Wyatt both grate on my nerves, so it's nice to have him around. I thought the location shoot in the pool was great!

Justin and Donna were married for almost a year and never had one story and almost no airtime. They broke up off screen. Just out of the blue one day they met with family and announced they were better as friends and were divorcing. It made no sense considering their back story and how their "romance" played out on screen. Rumors were that TPTB had promised Jack Wagner's fan club that he would get a new romance. Donna was going to be the it. And that was the last day I watched B&B.

Honestly, I just think they wanted to take the show in a different direction. With the success of the Dollar Bill character and the rise of the Spencers, there wasn't really a place on the show for the Marones anymore.

Donna and Justin were extremely bizarre. I just don't understand why Bill Bell can't use Aaron D Spears better than he does. That man is SEXY.

Maya and Carter are so damn pointless.

I'm so in love with Aly. She's such a breath of fresh air to the usual canvas of characters. I really hope Oliver isn't playing tricks on her. It had been a long time since I cared so much about a TV character.

I really appreciate it when they have Brooke share scenes with her children.

Does Hope think Brooke dated Ridge and Thorne simultaneously? Honey, that's not your mother's style! LOL

Wow I totally missed Donna/Justin being married and Donna going in Nick's orbit. I believe once the Hope/Liam/Steffy triangle unexpectedly took off, Brad wisely dumped the Marones and, as you said, focused on the Spencers. Best decision EVER. I had no idea Justin was related to the Barbers in GC. That is actually cool, but it would be nice if there was a way to use it. I really hope they fix that because I like Justin and I like Donna.

I watched a few episodes last week because Justin was on for 4 days. LOL.

I had a WTF moment as Oliver went to the Forester Mansion and was looking around in awe. Oliver has been on this show for years. He screwed Brooke up against the wall at Hope's birthday party like 4 years ago when he was with Hope. He was never painted as a gold digger or someone in awe of the Forrester wealth. He has been inside all those mansions more than once before. It made no sense.

Olivia came to Justin's wedding to Donna. There was this awkward scene with her and Bill with him saying she looked familiar. It was the first and laast time that Bill actually seemed like a normal person (and less egomaniacal caveman). I am not surprised that you don't know about this connection. They have not played this up on Y&R or B&B. There was plenty opportunity for cross over and I was hoping that Olivia would get some recurring role on B&B as well. Even if it was just a talk to for Justin. Negative. I actually thought it was going to be some set up to finding Dru in that homeless shelter that Stephanie was in with Dayzee in this massive crossover event. That never materialized.

In my mind, I saw a 13 week arc on B&B with Justin seeing her then taking her home and cleaning her up. He calls Olivia and she comes to town. She decides to do DNA test to make sure because she doesn't want to get her family's hopes up. DNA comes back then they move over to Y&R for her reunion arc. Now that would have been synergy and a way for B&B to increase it's viewers using the Y&R audience. I am constantly disappointed in soaps.

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.

    • I thought it got stale before Jocks death lol. His death picked things back up for me.
    • 1976 Pt 5 Tony is summoned to the reading of the will in the Llanfair library,as he’s a principal in the will. He tells Joe there’s not a chance of coming to terms with Dorian, as he is sure she brought about Victor’s death by torturing him emotionally when he was her helpless prisoner after his stroke. Ironically, Chapin hand delivers to Viki a letter her father wrote before his stroke, praising Dorian and asking Viki to befriend and support his widow when he was no longer there. Viki feels a responsibility to her father’s wishes and vows to try with Dorian. Victor’s will leaves the expected amounts to members of his family and staff, with the lion’s share of his stock and property going to Dorian. Victor’s will explains that his son Tony expressed the desire that he not be “bought from the grave,” and, in keeping with his son’s wishes, the only bequest to him is the knowledge of his father’s love and respect. Tony is deeply moved. Dorian’s first attempt to use her new power is the recommendation of Peter as head of the Merideth Lord Wolek hospital wing, claiming that naming Larry would be virtual nepotism. Peter, who has devoted considerable time and effort to helping Jenny get over Tim’s death with gentle, affectionate support, is happy at this suggestion, but Jenny points out Dorian is merely using him to hurt Larry. Viki disregards Dorian’s ingenuous assurances that she’s not trying to wield her new power but is merely putting Peter up for consideration for a future opportunity, if not this one, and tells her she won’t be able to fulfill her father’s desire that they be friends unless Dorian stops interfering. Larry, fully understanding Dorian’s personal motives, warns her he’s going to fight for the appointment no matter what. Realizing that she has made a tactical error, Dorian announces that she won’t even attend the board meeting but will give her proxy to Jim. She admits to Matt McAllister, still her confidant, that this was humiliating, but it was a necessary protective tactic. Dorian manages to win her next round at Joe’s office when, after he praises her decision to yield on appointing Peter, she expresses concern for Viki “at a time like this.” Joe, of course, jumps on her words, and Dorian, pretending great distress at having mentioned something she shouldn’t have, is “forced” to explain that she knew about the congenital heart condition Megan had and that any child of Joe’s is likely to inherit it. She overheard the doctors discussing it at the time of the accident, she continues, and naturally assumed that Joe already knew.  Joe arranges a meeting at home with Viki and asks her how she could live a lie like this; how she could go through their lives as if everything were fine while every moment was a lie. He is further upset when, in trying to explain that it was out of her love for him that she kept the truth from him, she mentions that Jim and Larry also know but Cathy still hasn’t been told. Viki tells Joe that Dorian deliberately told him this way to hurt their marriage, and she is very upset when he starts toward the door, pleading that they have always talked things out in the past. Joe coolly points out that she didn’t do that when she learned about Megan and continues out the door.  A tearful Viki is shaken and when Joe later returns, having spent several hours in a bar drinking only soft drinks,she breaks down, crying that she was convinced he’d left her. Joe assures her they can get through this despite everything, because their relation is based on love and mutual respect. 
    • If you think about it, DALLAS and DYNASTY grew stale right about the same time, even if the ratings were slow to reflect that.  FC and KL, on the other hand, tried to stay fresh, but KL was way more successful at it, I think, than FC.  (That [!@#$%^&*] with The Thirteen does not hold up well, lol).
