Oh I don't even watch Caroline much so I didn't see that part of this story. I think the actress is horrible so I tune her out for the most part ... I zoned back in briefly when Caroline was undermining them and that Maya is a nobody from the wrong side of the tracks. Yeah they gave Maya some weight for a minute but what are they going to do now? She put herself out there got smacked down ...now what?

Hope is just a dummy always has been you are about to marry Liam but marry his brother all because he didn't show up? Really? Now I get Wyatt saying how Liam is playing a guilt trip to work her when he (and his mommy) pretty much did/does the same thing. It was worth it to see that look of sheer stupidity when she found out..."I showed up, I was there." Poor Liam played by Quinn again... Hope manipulated by her again ... I'm waiting for both these dummies to figure it out...

Hope and her vagina continue to be the two dumbest characters on the show. laugh.pnglaugh.png This made my soap day I can't stop laughing...

B&B is the ultimate plot driven show. SO many things these character do make zero sense. It's really a good thing this show never went to an hour, imo. The fact that the show is about 18 mins long is what makes it watchable, basically as a parody.

Managed to catch up with the show including last Friday's cliffhanger wedding party.

The Paris remote was a debacle. Not to Sydney standards but equally lackluster. But it was to be expected and the visuals looked nice. And Ivy's fall was a true B&B comedy event....

Hope is truly dumber than words can do her justice. The writing is of course heavily contrieved but I do think it makes up for a classic and nice soap. Quinn and Deacon are gold. Both actors work extremely well with each other and the scheming is wonderfully over the top and yet down to earth as Quinn has a very simple motive. I really like the various angles B&B keeps on palying. And I heavily disagree that it is plot-driven. Quinn loves her son. Brooke might be in love with Bill but she and RIdge share 30 years of history together and designing is his CALLING and LIFE. The only characters behaving bizarelly are Ivy and Aly as they both act totally without ANY ulterior motives (well besides the kiss we all did see coming - Yawn!) to prop Hope & Liam. But I digress. Un-Character Ivy has finally gotten some shade, as predicatble as it is. But I think the actress has stepped it up a bit. And it's still nice to see Carter, Maya, Pam and CHarlie getting bits and pieces of dialogue - even talking about their "stories" and not just as filler material.

All combined I still find the show GOOD.

Wyatt just brought up Steffy and threw it in Liam's face yesterday

The writing for Ivy and Ali is awful. They are like Lucy and Ethel with their basic schemes and chatter about getting Hope and Liam back together. Do they really have nothing better to do?

I tuned in yesterday because I was visiting my mom. What's up with Ivy and Ally acting like two 80-year olds fretting about Hope. I wish they'd have these girls do real dish if they are going to talk about them. On top of it, they should be spending more of their talks about hooking up with guys and going out. I just can't at the 20-somethings in LA that only work and want to get married by 25 (or younger).

Can someone throw this thirst quenched bitch a drink? She's was literally drowning in her own saliva today! Embarassing

LMAO at old ass Bob Barker beating the sh-t out of Wyatt. I loved the sound effects they played during this. This stuff was so campy and over the top

    • This can be difficult for a soap to depict. So far she's only shown an interest in women. Will a man come into her life? If she commits to a male, there will be  backlash, but if it's women only, them where is the bi/queer aspect? Personally, I would have liked a single gay male on the show dealing with hook ups/relationships etc. Smitty/Martin married with kids is limiting in those terms.
    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.
    • Jordan was gone from '87 to mid-'89. He left just weeks after Robert's late '86 return.

    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
    •   Victoria's house (that she long ago lived in with Billy) burned down (I think Aunt Jordan set it ablaze?). Victoria briefly moved into the ranch after the fire, with Claire, Johnny and Katie, I think? Mariah and Tessa and baby Aria had been living in the tack house but they bought a house we've never seen and moved there. Victoria, Claire, and Cole then moved into the tack house as soon as Teriah left. I guess Victoria's children Johnny and Katie would live with Victoria at the tack house eventually? But Johnny and Katie went to boarding school during the school year. Not sure if we'll see Johnny and Katie for the summer vacation or where they would live.
    • Victoria’s previous house burned down.    And I know why characters frequent Crimson Lights 3 times a day for brownies, muffins and empty mugs:   THERE’S PCP IN EVERYTHING. 
    • Today was a good episode, and the week for that matter. I think they've also done a better job with background music. The scenes in todays episode weren't as silent as they usually are in the background and it was noticeable. I think the show has found its groove well and I'm still invested.
