B&B - June 2017 Discussion Thread

A telenovela would have one or two veteran actors and the rest all awful newbies who can't act their way out of a paper bag. But then look at a lot of the crap newbies the soaps hire so it wouldn't really be any different.

 

B&B would benefit greatly from being a true telenovela. Lord knows they rush through story, dropping plots and actors left and right ...

She was totally cheesy.  I yawned at the "I'm OK now that you're here...just hold me" - or whatever she said.  All plot device for the Quidge eventual pairing.  Quinn would never be redeemed for me after multiple murder attempts, and nothing ever happens to her.  She's a cartoon character to me.  And I agree with whoever said - with Sheila - it really is silly.  The Ted Bundy comparison is so true.

I'm very happy with the Deacon twist - I think this is how you write a soap opera. Could the execution be better? Yes, but these days beggars can't be chosers.

 

The show cheesy and melodramatic, but at least it is not boring. I loooove how they're tossing away the Pheila fiasco as 'crazy stories/rumors' ROTFL.

 

They are trying hard to sell the Quidge pairing. I don't see how anyone could be invested in a B&B couple. Remember how much time they took to build Ridge+C2, and then it faded away as if it never happened.

 

I feel sorry for KKL being reduced to a glorified extra.

Ugh, I see I can start turning over to The Chew again.  Today was 3 words - "Quinn Barf Fest".  Thank GOD you're OK, Quinn!  I'm so SORRY that I left you Quinn!  Ridge is the HERO of Quinn, you saved her LIFE!  Thank God you got help for Quinn, Katie!  Quinn and Ridge will forever be Linked!  The dialogue was atrocious...

And three weeks ago it was the WigCole show with repetitive dialogue etc. Sadly, that's B&B's structure. 

 

Seeing SK again really showed how much he's been missed. Deacon/H8ie would've been worth testing. Now Quinn, Brooke, H8ie jockeying for Deacon far more plausible than Bad Santa. 

 

If KB sticks around for a bit - the ShEvil/Bad Santa will be explored and that's OK because there's so much history there. 

 

Very sexist to Quinn have to declare her love for Widge first. Of course this was mere moments after she reaffirmed being happy with Bad Santa and her family in front of everyone.

What a horribly written episode with even worse acting.

Why are they making her to be the next Snow White? Absurd and just ridiculous! No one is buying this sh!t!

Turning Quinn into a heroine (soap code for victim) is just lazy. It is possible for strong, talented, self-made women to work in a soap format. Instead of Widge 'saving' Quinn, it would be far more believable if she had outsmarted Deacon and clocked him. Quinn's feelings for Widge have been developing for months and are strong - having him 'save' her doesn't suddenly make it 'wuve.'

Does Deacon know Sheila? He seemed very familiar with her but Im not sure if they crossed paths on either show

 

Notice how Deacon was talking like a psycho yesterday but now he's back to normal? He only wanted a reaction from Quinn so he could get money? That doesnt even jive with what played out on screen. They should have had him on weeks ago trying to extort money from her.

 

Quinn: "He's been hounding me for money. He's been making threats for months." WTF?!? WHEN? Why hasnt this stupid show shown this? He hasnt been seen since last August

 

So Donna still lives in LA? I thought she moved and only visited that time she came for Brooke's wedding to Bill.

Wow I missed this dialogue. But I also want the receipts for this too! And when has Quinn ever been afraid of Deacon?

 

I had to LOL when Count Dracula said Deacon would have gotten it had he been around....yeah right....LOL.

that may be true but at the very least, it happened on her property as there is nothing between her house and Eric's as they are neighbors. Sheila was lurking around outside before she got in. How the heck did she and Deacon not run into each other? Not to mention Katie has been spending most of her afternoons staring outside the window in that same direction the gun was shot. She really didnt see Deacon? I smell plot holes all around

 

when Bell decided to pull this out his ass

    • lol he sounds like he's speaking as Randy    
    • Dani going to Bill's house is karma for how he messes with Martin. It is totally separate, but I can't feel sorry for Bill when he's constantly antagonizing a family he says he wants nothing to do with.
    • I understand what Lois did. I can see everyone's side, even if I don't agree with them.  That  proves it's a good story    Lois is far from ruined
    • Oh wow. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
    • The character of Lois has been ruined and trashed. There's no coming back from this mess. The current production and writing team have had no idea as to what made her special to begin with. She had a bit of moral fiber. Her treatment on the show is not atypical though, as most characters will get trashed, even beyond redemption, if it serves the current flavor of the month plotline.
    • No idea if this one had ever been up before or what the exact date is, but it's always good to look at/save the new AMC content while you can. If you're here for the drama there is some delirium with Adam and Erica about 10-12 minutes in.

    • I think there's a story to tell in someone who always believed in honesty and integrity being emmeshed in so many lies, but I agree that it wasn't very well laid out over the last few months. I think if I was more invested in Lois, I would have more of an issue than I do. Few can hold up against Jane. This is one of those cases where I think mentioning who already switched babies or have long-lost children would just take away from the fallout. If Lulu wants to drag Brook Lyn for hypocrisy there is probably still time (if the show bothers). I don't think anyone would claim these are the best GH episodes ever. It may be very lowered expectations at play. But I do think that scenes like yesterdays were some of Tracy's best, as she is a character who is often not allowed that type of moment.
    • You would think that, wouldn't you? I'd almost think they needed the money to get Robert Newman back, but they also had to know Larkin wasn't going to stick around and play second banana either. I don't get what the writers thought they were doing with Calla. Long liked using actors from Texas, but other than Alex/Bev McKinsey, the characters she wrote for them seemed blah.
    • Bo has a bad history with kids named Zach. (too soon?)
    • Christie said in her interview this week -- that before taping this, she had recently started taking acting classes again, and had been doing some work in England, so that helped her to jump into Carrie for this (as well as it being all so familiar, it really was home.)
