What's going on with B&B? 

[Soapsuds]

The same dialogue/ story with Liam and his many many many many many many females. That leaves little to nothing for anyone else on the canvas.

[ChitHappens]

They stories that played out 2 years ago are playing again right now.  Just take out the name Hope and replace it with Steffy.  I'm not even kidding.  Awful hamster wheel!  

[skiman12082004]

I love B&B but it has been disappointing so far this year. I hate how they have marginalized Maya and The Avant's to repeat the Brooke/Katie/Bill story and to showcase the beyond boring Liam/Steffy/Wyatt triangle. Hopefully Brad Bell shakes things up for the better in the fall.

[Soapsuds]

Pure repetitiveness ….and I agree the Liam triangle is pure boredom and so was the Brooke/Katie/Dollar Bill mess.  I am surprised the actress who plays Maya is still on contract. Maya who?

[dragonflies]

that and trying to pair Caroline with her rapist and just awful writing in general

[DramatistDreamer]

The last time I commented in one of these ratings threads, I was chided for being dour and there was an intimation that this ratings drop was momentary and would be a thing of the past next ratings period.

So...

[JONNYSBRO]

Sometimes i wonder what B&B would be if Jean P was writing it.

[JellicleCat]

Cancelled?  

[frequentsoapfan]

I don't watch B&B regularly but every time I tune in to watch an episode the same storyline is playing out since the last time I watched.

[Fevuh]

No - It's not Liam.  Everyone is a Liam hater - but this show became the Rena Sofer/Quinn/Cartoon show.  It happened again this week where every character stands around talking like they're stupid because of Quinn's storyline.  Thomas and Ridge did it today and they weren't even involved in her storyline.  They're creating storylines and revolving everything around Quinn.  Get rid of it. 

Everyone is dumbed down for Quinn.  Even Steffy today - after yacking at Wyatt for 2 days, saying....YOU SAID YOU WOULD PROTECT ME!  I TOLD HER TO STAY AWAY!   Wyatt's response, as always - I WILL PROTECT YOU!  At the end of the show - she and Liam  - He BEGS her to come back to him.....she says....but WYATT will PROTECT ME!  HE PROMISED THIS TIME!  Just like Hope said.  It's total garbage.  Show Quinn on the plane...she smiles to herself.  As she plots and to have nothing happen to her no matter what she does.  Why people *itch about Scott Clifton/Liam - I have no idea.  This is an unending disaster of Rena Sofer/Quinn.  She's got to have pictures of someone naked at this point.
