B&B: September 2016 Discussion Thread

[Fevuh]

 

Because for 3 or 4 months Ivy wouldn't talk with anyone from LA.  Or for 8 months.  Doesn't make sense.  It never made public news???  Neither did Maya's issue.  There is ZERO pappazazzi in LA!!! 

[Cheap21]

Who in LA would she talk to? She's not particularly close with anyone on the show. I guess she could have asked questions when she learned that Quinn no longer worked there, but I dont think its unreasonable that she isnt aware of Quinn's crimes.

 

 And no it never made public news. Quinn was arrested and the show made it a point in saying that if Liam went forward with pressing charges, it would go public. He chose not to and the media didnt find out. Maya's issue did make public news. Bill splahed it all over his mags. The show just never dealt with the fallout of it but it was mentioned and she was instantly accepted.

The whole story was a complete joke IMO

Saw today's episode live. Sad to say, but Brill bedroom scenes were cringe worthy and I've always been Team Brill. 'Forever' I wish we had a video vault of all the times Brooke has said that to men during the past 29 years! 

Ok Ridge so you oust Eric and Quinn from FC. How does that exactly stop Eric/Quinn from living together? It's like Steffy leaving Wyatt. Quinn is still with Eric and at FC regardless. All these 'moves' do nothing to change that Eric wants to be with Quinn. 

I love RS and so I'm glad she's getting airtime. Frankly, she's one of those actors who make all her screen partners up their game and a show like B&B needs that. 

[Soapsuds]

Glad I didn't watch again. The show is a mess. Eric and Quinn became an insta couple in one episode. Dollar Bill and Brooke are disgusting!  Stephanie would be disappointed!

 

What happened to Rick vs Ridge?

What happened to Caroline vs Maya?

 

The attempted fiasco story of making Maya trans was a huge mistake!

Ridge and Caroline together was blah.

Ridge/Caroline/Thomas was awful and nothing great came out it.

Thomas and Sasha….ewwwwwwwww…...

Did the Avants go on vacation that I don't know about?

Nicole and Zende…..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Is Maya hiding in the closet?

Liam and his latest conquest continues to dominate this show again…….Does Bradley Bell only write for Liam?

Liam and Wyatt repetitive dialogue

Wyatt and Steffy repetitive dialogue

Steffy and Liam repetitive dialogue

Anything having to do with Liam HAS repetitive dialogue. …….

 

Bradley Bell deliberately repeats the same dialogue to keep this boring who cares who's Liam latest lady he can't have story going.

[edgeofnik]

Ok. I'm going to sum up the 3 things B&B did in 2015 to ruin the show:

1. Being PC about Maya's gender and making Rick and everyone on canvas accept her. Instead, it would've been very compelling to watch Rick and others struggle with it, have the Paparazzi hound Maya, etc. 

2. Thomas/Caroline. Instead, Rick should've slept with Caroline during his struggle. What a fantastic way to reignite the Ridge/Caroline/Rick/Maya rivalry.

3. Killing Aly and making it 'Mur-dah!'  Aly was a great voice of reason for the show. Should've never happened. Instead Pam and Charlie should've been axed and Aly kept as the strange relative. 

Think how much better the show would be now if Brad hadn't made such bad, irreversible decisions. 

[Soapsuds]

That would have been great and it would have given Rick the offspring he wanted that Maya could not give him. Why wasn't that written instead of the horrible stories we had to endure?

I never understood why Aly was killed off. It added nothing to the soap. It should have made Thorne lash out at both Steffy and Ridge. Thorne should have taken over Forrester away from Ridge and even Rick….kind of what Connor did to Lucinda. Where no one knew who was behind the takeover before it was too late only to discover it was Thorne(not Rick) who now ran the company.

 

 

There is so much that Thorne could have done to Steffy and Ridge. A missed opportunity!

I never cared for Ivy but the whole Aly story made me like her even less if thats possible.

[Cheap21]

The best way to honor her dead cousin was to exploit her death by blackmailing Steffy into making her be the face of Forrester Creations.

last time Brooke was in that room, she was hiding under the bed as Bill almost had sex with her sister. This time, she got to have sex with him while making stallion noises. It was cringeworthy

 

[cassadine1991]

Why does everyone think that by giving ultimatums to Eric that he will not continue to see Quinn?

[Cheap21]

I dont get it. Ivy's hair was short on Monday and Tuesday picks up right where it left off and she magically has extensions.

 

How is Rick cool with Brooke selling her FC shares to Ridge? She needs to give those to Bridget,  Rick, and RJ. Ridge is so presumptuous to just expect her to give them to him and shes stupid to go along with it. Rick was written so out of charater just standing there and only being worried that Ridge might use the shares to prevent him from being CEO. Huh? The real Rick would have taken Brooke aside and convinced her to have her children's interest and not sell the shares to some man she isnt involved with anymore. Brooke giving him controlling interest of those shares would be a better twist to this story than Ridge getting them all

 

Quinn to Ridge and Steffy: "...he (Eric) is having sex...." Girl, was that really necessary? 

 

Who has given Eric an ultimatum? As of now, they've all expressed their displeasure with his choices, but no one has tried forcing his hands, bc they have no power to do so. Thats the entire basis for this shares storyline.

 

 

How is Rick cool with Brooke selling her FC shares to Ridge? She needs to give those to Bridget,  Rick, and RJ. Ridge is so presumptuous to just expect her to give them to him and shes stupid to go along with it

 

Quinn to Ridge and Steffy: "...he (Eric) is having sex...." Girl, was that really necessary?

[Soapsuds]

I noticed that the actress who plays Ivy wasn't listed with the contract actors like she was before. Does that mean she is on for a short time? 

[Fevuh]

The guy who bumped his head on the jet when he escorted her onto the jet and got the lobotomy/fall?  Liam?  She called Quinn but wouldn't call Lame?  She wouldn't call someone else in the family (not Quinn, but actual family) - she wouldn't try and call Liam in months???  My God, come on.  LOLLLLL. 

[edgeofnik]

I read recap. Did Ridge really thank Brooke for her 'sacrifice' aka marrying Bill for the shares?? From what I saw the other day, Brooke was enjoying the riding her stallion at the rodeo. She knows it won't be long before her riding days are behind her. 

Also, why does Brooke need to sell her shares to Ridge? Can't she just vote with the others to oust Eric? Wouldn't it be better to sell or gift them to Rick? Why give Widge the power, unless deep down, she knows Widge is her destiny. This story has some many illogical flaws, it's rather amazing and not in a good way. 

[Soapsuds]

I was thinking the same thing. I am hoping Brooke gives those shares to Rick and double crosses Ridge.

[Cheap21]

no she wouldn't which is why that story went on for as long as it did. Again we all saw that play out. You can say it's  illogical but it is what was written
