Honestly, I would bring John back. No one would resent that, despite ghost John. It's as simple as John has been in witness protection because he discovered something in prison and had to protect his kids. He's still married to Gloria and the show can go from there. Aunt Jack cannot fill the patriarch role despite being older than John was when he was introduced. It's best way to cement Abbott family. They've cleared way with Gloria being free of Jeffrey so why not? Would it help or hurt show to being John back?

Eh...It wasn't that great of a show. Tracy and Ashley golden as always. The whole Abbott angst was good even though I don't care that Billy slept with Phyllis. Funny how Jack is so ready to forgive Phylliss but not Billy.

 

The Baldwin clan get together was only bearable because of Lauren and Phylliss. I could care less about Michael, Kevin, Chloe and Gloria. And what happened to Esther?? Did she just vanish??

 

Devon is such a fool. If this leads to a breakup with Hillary...then I am all for it. Can't stand the couple together. Lily...ugh....cant stand her or the husband.

 

And why in the hell was Jill spending Christmas Eve with her fake son Cane?? She should have spent it will Billy at the Abbott Mansion. It would have added more fireworks when Jack arrived.

I know, right?  I adore her.

 

 

Really?!?!  I really enjoyed it.  

 

JTs Billy really does work with Traci and Ashley, and Jack's cold reaction to him worked for me.  From the gift to Ms. Martinez, Traci's prayer at the end of the show...I thought it was well done.

 

I can tolerate the Baldwins in small doses and since we've not seen much of them lately, it was ok for me.  I'm actually in agreement with others that it was good to see Gloria again.  Good point about Esther.

 

I think CK has it in her to give a Dru-ish edge to Lily, but not as long as she's with Cane.  Today she shot daggers at Hil with a simple look.  She is written so plain jane, it's silly that Dru's daughter is such a nothing character.

I think it was another thread that we were discussing this. But I fear that the show may have given up on Lily now that they have Hilary. I've written to let them know that's unacceptable. There is no way that Dru and Neil's daughter would be some uneducated, unambitious MILF paired up with a nobody white con man with her only claim to fame is as his sex kitten.  It's unacceptable and they need to do something about it!

That's for sure. Lily definitely has the death stare and attitude down but I feel it's misdirected at Hillary. She looks ridiculous to me all up in Hillary and Devon's business. I get why she is, and maybe it's the way Christel plays it, but it doesn't work for me. She looks silly.

 

But yes, Hillary and Mishael was flawless today. Loved it. I liked that they included Jill because it got Jill and Hillary in the same room and they even had a scene together, so that made me happy. But yeah, Jill spending time there kind of surprised me but it makes sense because of the kids, I guess. I felt good watching the show today so I went with it and I even actually liked the Baldwin-Fisher's today, so shoot me

Jack and Phyllis clearly aren't done with each other. I liked their scenes. I sort of wish Jack had given in and let Billy eat with them, I mean it is Traci and Ashley's house too so his stance is a bit much for me, but I also liked that he didn't, LOL. So, the angst was pretty good.

Very much in agreement with most here: Wonderful episode. Hilary/Devon & JT's sibling chemistry with ED and BM stood out the most, and I even liked Lily's scheming.

 

I'm excited about the prospect of Jack going against Lauren and Phyllis for Fenmore's, as long as they don't forget Lauren's perspective in all of this. But, from what we've seen so far, I don't think they will.

 

Three days of Jill this week. That's so amazing. 

 

 

I was thinking that yesterday! The Christmas decorations made it somewhat nice to look at!

I'd say it was a pretty great show. I'll give credit where credit is due. The only thing missing are the stories which I'm assuming will start to take off in the new year. 

Oh and about Lily disliking Hilary, to me it makes sense. I mean.. there's no way Lily should be accepting of Hilary but at the same time it shouldn't be Lily's sole existence to hate her anytime she's on. Lily should have other things to do with her time too and it seems like she doesn't. @ajsp35801 I think you are right about them replacing Lily with Hilary. To be fair to the writers though, Lily is a pretty bland and boring character with CK in the role (IMO) and I'd imagine they must be pretty uninspired by her. With Hilary, there is so much they can do with her character.

I figured Lily was angling for a modeling job when she first sat down with Barry. I'd like to see her doing something beside roam around that lobby/restaurant waiting to yell at Hilary or bang Cane, She's too young to be Gina Roma or Gloria. She could easily begin modeling for Jabot or B/S.

Speaking of, how is Patty Weaver? I'd love to see her pop in...

      B&B: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      Absolutely! Brad should've simply moved on from Lunacy. There's no point of freeing her, if you're not going to at least make an attempt at redemption or incorporating her into the fold. It happened with Quinn, who committed quite a few felonies before become the Forrester Matriarch.  Heck, keep Lunacy in prison and have Poppy/Finn discover that she gave birth to twins - 'Sunny' could've come on with a clean slate and still had Sheila/Finn and all the other drama. It certainly couldn't have been worse than what we've witnessed with the destruction of $B.

      I had totally forgotten that Courtney story. I see Burton was already phoning it in by that point.

      omg I completely missed that, but now when I see it typed here in your post, it's obvious icky cringe. So now I just checked and Tomas said that -- on May 27 that he likes the author Carl Ivati.  He said it with sort of an accent, so I didn't catch the stupid joke or think about the spelling.   I remember when that aired, that I actually said to myself at the time, "I wonder if that's a Latin American author, and I will have to google him later." And now I see your post, and I see. Well that's cringe, and I feel stupid to have fallen for it.

      There's a lot you don't need if you have the writing.  You don't even need large casts!  You could make do with a cast of 12-18 actors if the writing is there.

      Thank you. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with sleeping around if your spouse actually knows about it. She’s just a cheating slut.

      OMG...Robert Mandan! And Donna Mills is a child. I keep hoping for more of early Ross/Vanessa.

      I get your point, but I also know that if the roles were reversed -- if a man were screwing around on a woman this way -- everyone would be all "All with his head!" When I say Vanessa needs therapy, I'm actually being kind, because I could begin and end with the fact that she's a cheating slut.

      Is nobody going to mention the cringefest that is 'Carl Ivati'?

      I've accepted we'll probably never see any of the Roger/Holly 1976-1978 storyline. Whenever any of Roger/Holly 1979 and 1980 storylines surface, those are must watch as they set in motion everything we saw a decade later.
