B&B - September 2014 Discussion thread

[Juliajms]

I think that article is spot on for the most part. I didn't know the actors had spoken out against the couple, but I sure can't blame them.

[dragonflies]

Yeah Kim Matula has spoken positively about Hott, she doesn't seem to be a Lope fan at all lol. I remember SC saying great things about Steam, but not alot about Loope

[YRBB]

I had no idea the actors weren't happy with it, either. I mean, how could they? This insane merry-go-round laced with horribly contrived "twists" is insufferable and long past the point of any plausibility. What I wouldn't give for it to end and for Brad to focus on 3 to 4 stories instead of one for weeks and weeks on end (he's gotten a little better about that lately, though).

[Juliajms]

I figured KM at least had to be unhappy. That's why I posted awhile back about feeling sorry for her, since she probably wants to bang her head against a wall every time she gets a new script. I just didn't know that any of them had actually spoken out about it. Sounds like they've been diplomatic, which is probably wise. I really wish Brad would come to his senses and see that he has all but destroyed Hope. KM was really a great find, imo, but the character is being decimated.

Sure, Liam has been ruined too, but the men of B&B have always played a secondary role. The men of B&B can come and go, but you don't screw up a really good next generation soap actress like this. What a waste.

Wow! That is one hell of an article! However, Wyatt and Steffy are the same character and both were losers too.

[Cheap21]

Steffy was a queen! The show went downhill fast when she left

[Soapsuds]

Love the article and it was spot on...yesterday's episode was so painful to watch.

[ChitHappens]

Both losers crying because they can't be together when both bitches have married others due to time constraints? Ridiculous!

[Juliajms]

I agree with you. Hope needs an enemy, just like Brooke did. Without that, all you have is men telling them how wonderful and perfect they are. It gets old, damn fast.

[Aback]

To be honest Brooke was Steffy and Taylor was Hope IMHO

[Juliajms]

I used to think that, but not anymore. They've been moving Hope into the Brooke role for sometime now, imo. I don't feel like Steffy or Hope is Taylor. At least not original recipe Taylor who was written as being fairly constant and somewhat morale.

Hope can talk about morality all the wants, but she's been going back and forth between two guys for months. She was perfectly willing to throw her marriage away, before she found out she was pregnant. Then she told her guy on the side about the baby before her husband all because of true love and destiny. That's all Brooke. Except for the part, where Brooke's stories and waffling used to make some actual sense.

[Soapsuds]

They need to bring Steffy back with the original actress. She still appears in the opening credits??

[Soapsuds]

Liam asking/telling Hope to get an abortion was insane. I never cared for Liam and yesterday didn't help...loathe him even more now......and Hope to stand there and not tell him off for suggesting an abortion instead she starts babbling about her childhood and crying because she can't be with him while her husband sits and waits not even knowing she is pregnant but her lover does....NOT Never once did she mention what this would do to Wyatt...talk about a selfish bitch.

[Juliajms]

I'd like Steffy back, but it doesn't have to be her, if the actress isn't available. It just has to be someone.

And then we are supposed to think that Hope takes marriage more seriously than her mother? Nope.

[ChitHappens]

It was all nonsense and embarrassing to watch. However, Liam only foreshadowed what's about to happen to him. Quinn will be changing results and Liam will be screwed out of his kid. So this is a long term story and anyone who loves Quinn will be happy because she will certainly be around to do some damage.
