B&B - October 2014 Discussion Thread

OMG!! That would be awesome. I LOVE it.

[Markjeh]

I also liked how Hope was used merely as a prop for Caroline/Rick etc. during the board meeting, normally it's the other way around

[dragonflies]

LOL today I totally expected Rick to hold his breath till he turned blue, he's such a whiny crybaby. Caroline is too good for him

[Big mistake]

LOL

DEAD.

That scene with Katie crying tears for Ridge was so stupid. How can anyone even fall for that coma inducing character. Surely he will facilitate her annual heart attack any day now and put her into that very state. My god I hate him.

I'm ready for Eric and Donna round x but seeing as both characters are less relevant than ever there's not really any use for it. Donna's everlasting hope for a reunion is kind of endearing in a way.

[dragonflies]

Katie and Carter I love that idea, Carter is hot, but he should have told Eric about what Maya might do.

[Cheap21]

When did Katie find out about Ridge and Caroline? I was surprised with how much she was telling Donna. I swear those two repeated the same conversation for 3 straight segments

Yes, why is Muriel, a model allowed at these Forrester corporate meetings?

[AllMyDaysatGH]

LMAO, omg Markjeh I LOVE your shady basic avatar. I've grown to become so annoyed with TK over the years especially after AMC reboot. What is so great about him? He's awful.

Ridge told Katie on Friday, Oct 16 that Caroline had a crush on him, and that he considered using that crush to get Caroline to continue to team with him as the "dream team" Eric wanted to run Forrester. That was also when Katie told Ridge she wasn't OK with him using Caroline that way, since it seemed like a Bill-type tactic to her that a "good" man like him just wouldn't do. (I guess she doesn't know all the times Ronn Moss' Ridge tried to stab his own family or Brooke in the back).

Of course, even when he told her he had ended things with Caroline, he still hasn't told Katie about his kissing Caroline yet, hence her telling Donna it was just an innocent crush that was over and done with. Wonder who will get to break the news to her? Ridge? Rick? Maya?

[YRfan23]

LOL at Maya....she's def the not best actress and really Over the top, but i'm still entertain by it....

I thought Rick was gonna kill Ridge during last Friday's scenes....

[Markjeh]

I liked Maya when she delivered the line ''the guilt is written all over her face'', but the actress is a bit too much a bobblehead doll with the way she moves her head all over the place.

Thanks, I spent way too long on it lol.

I've never seen or heard of him before B&B but he's so blah and shows no emotion. And his husky, smokey, whispery voice annoys me to no end.

Welcome to B&B! It felt like Hope and Quinn were having the same conversation about the baby for two weeks straight.

[Juliajms]

It felt like that because that's what happened. The repetitious conversations on this show drive me nuts sometimes.

[dragonflies]

That was what happened, they do have the same convos over and over as do Hope and Liam and anything with Hope really lol

[sheilaforever]

I was waiting for someone to bring it as I'm partly annoyed by it as well, but at the same cherish the old-school soap vibe. It's a matter of clever dialogue wiritng to make repetive scenes sound slightly different. And I think the B&B writers as of late do a pretty good job. I really enjoy watching the show and it gives me some 80s/90s feel in regards to the length of the scenes and storylines these days...

As for Thorsten Kaye. I REALLLY like as Ridge. His speech, mannerisms etc. are spot on. I can get why people are over him because of his AMC frontburner tenure ut on B&B he is supporting lead and definitely a huge improvement over Ronn Moss. They just need to groom Kaye WAYYY more. I still don't likethe scruffy worn-out. The impeccable playboy look was one of Ronn Moss' greater achievements as Ridge and as a long-time viewer I can only accept Ridge that way.

Unpopular opinion ahead: I thought the actress playing Maya has stepped it up a lot this week and was much better than Lynsey Godfrey (Caroline) who seems unable to play sublety. It's not for a lack of trying but she did not convince me in Caroline's scenes with Rick where she hid her attraction RIdge.
