You saw everything that happened twice today in the typical B&B multi-flashback in same episode - just kissing and same old 'why are we doing this?' It's quite tame especially considering what's going to happen next week per B&B promo video.

Clear that today's show was meant to air on Friday due to that unnecessary national preemption a couple of weeks back. Terribly contrived with Pam being irresponsible with holster, waist jewelry that we'd never seen before and unrealistic that Eric would order Quinn to do the deed. If Eric was so close to Katie he would have done it himself and explained why. HT is great but this unhinged rage at Quinn is misplaced. Insert Brooke/$B, I'd go along with it.

Today's episode was one bad train wreck. From Nicole's over the top convo with Rick to the whole Quinn/Katie nonsense. This show is awful terrible bad with some much needed help.

You know the show sucks when the most intersting thing is tuning in to see what f--ked up wig they put Nicole in. To be fair, this one is slightly better than the last

I hadn't seen the show in over a week - I had it on just so I could rewind and FF through...I saw that scene with Katie and just laughed.  The couple of weeks ago when Quinn said something like, "Katie is being unpredictable and I think she's dangerous."  LOLLLL of all people to say that...Quinn????   I turned it off then...tuned in yesterday and - Quinn pushes her and Katie finds a gun on the couch/table where she landed??  This is all so manufactured - why on Earth would Katie care so much about working at Forrester or being a jewelry designer out of the blue that she would go crazy???  Changed the channel back to the French Open.

her wanting to be a jewelery designer makes NO sense. The way it started it was a a way to get under Quinn's skin but now they are trying to sell this as a serious career venture for her. Eric said that she was better suited for the business side so it would make more sense for her to angle for a job in management, not designing.

 

The fact that she is now insane and completely obssessed over Quinn is ridiculous. The Quinn vs Katie feud could have worked had they given us better motives. This has been going on for what, 5-6 months? The setup wasnt bad with Quinn growing jealous bc she is insecure and has a history of mental instability. They should have had her do something to Katie to justify Katie hating her. The story went wrong when they flipped it and have Katie as the crazy one bc kissing Ridge as the motive for this is absurd.

B&B has moved into H8-watch territory. Both stories today were filled with 'ugh' moments:

 

1. H8ie with the telescope and screeching. Ugh. 

2. CoCoPuffs scenes rehashing the Nicole scene from the other day. Why? Shows there is absolutely no reason for her or RJ

3. Nicole's wig and hilariously inappropriate attire (though she looked great in it) for taking care of a baby. 

4. They should just go all out with Julius - his clear loathing of Maya is being touched on, but you can tell Brad is trying to be PC. There is nothing wrong with having ONE character NOT accept Myron. Make that his motivation for pushing Nicole to take Lizzy. Not this ridiculous nonsense of a 21 yo being obsessed with having babies.

The actor playing RJ is actually good, especially given the age-inappropriate dialogue (contrast that with the way Reed on Y&R is written). I have no idea why they have two isolated 15/16 y.o. on this show - other than being scapegoats for breaking up Brill and the 'espionage' stories, both of which were undone!

    • Well, no new episode tomorrow, but you should do a catch up. It's worth it!
    • *Gavrilo Princip has entered the chat* I haven't watched BTG in approximately two months because of the busy season at work, but now it's summer, and I'll have time to get back into it. Do y'all think that I should do the 21st century binge-watching thing and attempt to catch up on everything I missed or should I do the traditional soap thing and just start watching again tomorrow and figure everything out from there?
    • A few days late but this made me holler so bad and immediately took.me back 29 years when I first saw this. I still remember thinking Rick and Phillip were going hold each other and dance together LOL. Rick being there at least makes some sense as he was A-M’s second cousin and the show still at least recognized he was half Bauer, at least until Hearst left.  The whole Universal Studios wedding was over the top. I think someone wanted A-M and Lucy to be the next GL super couple but once Hearst left the A-M recast flopped and both were gone by early ‘97 with Lucy never appearing ever again.    Love the rest of your post, summer 1996 was the first time GL left me feeing…greatly underwhelmed until it inspired righteous indignation on my behalf once we get to the Gilly twist.
    • You're right. I think she was seen as too subtle or reserved.  As @soapfan770I liked Sheila on LA Law but she wasn't needed here, especially as Charley as a character only made sense with a more reserved and less conventionally attractive actress.
    • That's certainly one way to put it!  What blather. Kind of tells you they knew it was going to fail. I guess they were just throwing anything at the schedule and hoping they would be pleasantly surprised. Thanks for the article.
    • I would guess it's down to Kate Oates. Bowden is very much her type of leading man. She repeated all the stories she did on Emmerdale with his Ben.  I also think EE has become conservative enough that only a white, straight-acting gay man is going to get story.
    • Desert Sun, 13 April 1985 ABC’s 'Dark Mansions’ Loretta Young quits movie LOS ANGELES (AP) - Loretta Young, citing “creative differences,” has withdrawn from her role as the family matriarch in “Dark Mansions,” an ABC movie and projected series, a spokesman for the actress said. The Academy Award-winning actress had been due to come out of retirement to begin work on the two-hour movie on April 22. The movie goes into production on Monday. “Loretta Young will not be rendering services because of creative differences over the story,” her agent, Norman Brokaw of the William Morris Agency said in a statement. “The parting between Miss Young and Aaron Spelling was amiable despite the story differences,” the statement said. Miss Young had been scheduled to play the role of Margaret Drake, the matriarch of a Seattle shipping family in “Dark Mansions,” a contemporary Gothic drama. There was no immediate word from either Aaron Spelling Productions or ABC who would replace Miss Young in the role. “It’s true that we had creative differences over the way her character was developing,” Spelling said in a statement released by a spokesman, David Horowitz. “She's a great star and a great friend and I hope she always remains both.” Miss Young won an Academy Award as best actress in 1948 for “The Farmer’s Daughter.” She was the star of 94 motion pictures and was the creator, producer and star of “The Loretta Young Show” during television’s so-called Golden Age Miss Young had been scheduled to work eight days out of the four week shooting schedule. The movie, a pilot for an ABC prime-time soap opera, also stars Michael York, who would make his series debut, Linda Purl, Paul Shenar, Melissa Sue Anderson, Raymond St. Jacques and Dan O’Herlihy. Miss Young s last film was “It Happens Every Thursday” in 1953. She then took the unprecedented step of retiring from films to produce and star in "The Loretta Young Show" on television. She won three Emmy awards as best dramatic actress in 1954, 1956 and 1958. She was also nominated five other times. The anthology show ran on NBC from 1953 to 1961. In the 1962-63 season she starred on NBC in a dramatic show called “The New Loretta Young Show.” As we know Joan Fontaine took on the role
