Who would be a good replacement for Bradley Bell as HW for B&B?

Honestly, Brad would be good IF he had good training and frankly, I think he should hire someone like Alden for about a year or so and invest his free time to attend workshops and do workbooks. 

 

I don't mean this as a put down either.

Sarah Treem, but she would never do daytime.  Daytime needs new blood if it's going to survive.  Or get someone from a British soap that is willing to learn the little bit of history that the show even has now.  You really would only need to know very little with the mistakes they make every single day from some of the comments I've read.... even with the recent history.  I think I saw someone say something about Deacon saying Quinn's stepdaughter not wanting her in the house (meaning Steffy - her daughter in law).  Who knows if it was written that way or if it was a mistake by the actor.  I wouldn't be surprised if it were written that way although it was probably the actor.  Either way - relationships happen overnight on this show and it's just bad.  If we're going with people we know - I would try the Labines.  To my knowledge they've never had anything to do with B&B which would be a strength right now.

Kay Alden would be the most experienced, talented and natural choice. As long as she invested more in B&B's campy ways (not to the extreme, but enough to keep it interesting) vs Y&R's more serious tone, it would be good.

I loved when Kay Alden took over during the writers strike. The show was really good and stories moved during that time. I love Brad Bell, but he does get stale at times. I wouldn't mind seeing him with a co-headwriter. I think B&B is one soap Ron Carlivati could actually benefit. His campiness could be helpful since that is the one aspect B&B tends to ignore these days. Especially with the Maya story, I feel like more could've been done to make it salacious considering this is a famous tabloid family in the fashion industry.

    • I'm all for it. Get them Nina! 
    • I am blown away that Christie Clark is 51, and she debuted 39 years ago. They gave her a lovely script today.  But, I could not think of any other examples in culture of someone able to jump right back into the skin of a character, after virtually retiring from acting years ago. I was trying to recall if Carrie left for a bit with Anna after Roman died (because she wasn't at Bo & Hope's wedding), and then returned as a pre-teen Christie?  Or if she was just SORASed off-screen?  But, whenever I see the character I am reminded how much more trauma she's endured than Sami, and yet she remains such a nice person.
    • Weirdly I feel like Nina was the most sus about the entire situation.  Normally I would have given this one to Carly, but Nina was always kind of trying to make it make sense. I think Nina (and Alexis) are actually really smart characters.  They just constantly get in their own way with dumb plans lol.
    • Rewatching some of 1991 I had to appreciate what a strong week March 5-12 1991 was. Cassandra dies, Nina shoots David, Sheila switces the babies, and drunk Nikki all occurring simultaneously. 1991 and 92 were pretty strong overall.
    • Still loving all the Gio fallout, but the scenes that really surprised me this episode were the ones with Nina and Maxie. I was not expecting Nina to be the one to put together all the pieces about Sasha's baby daddy. This custody hearing is about to get explosive!
    • I really hope after the secret comes out their interactions don't stop
    • BAHAHA  I needed that laugh today. Talk about one note.  I would put Derek and Ashley a notch above Dani. Dani's scenes are basically rinse, lather, and repeat for 60 episodes and counting.  It's as if she was transported from the soap opera Passions onto this soap.  MVJ should put aside her friendship/admiration for Karla and look at the fact that this character isn't wroking as written.
    • Agreed.  It doesn't feel in character at all.
    • You could always tell whenever Douglas Marland enjoyed writing for a particular actor, because he'd pull out all the stops for them; and Julianne Moore was no exception.
    • I'm sorry, but I just can't get past the fact that it was Lois, of all people, who deceived so many people.  No matter how hard Rena Sofer tries to justify Lois' actions - and boy, does she work hard! - it just isn't something Lois would've done.
