I am disappointed at how repetitive B&B has been since the mid-90s. Funny how SB was desperately crying out for long-term stability -- B&B is the opposite case, atrophying under a bored, longtime EP and HW who endlessly recycles the same plot(s), often with the same group of actors, lol. I know it's a case of being careful what you wish for (Y&R never recovered after CBS/SONY edged out the Bells), but I wish we could get different EPs and HWs for B&B without diminishing the Bell control over that show. They could promote from within, as B&B often does, to its credit. Someone who knows the history, but who has talent and freshness. Someone who is not Brad Bell, lol.

Cat, how do you think SB was crying out for long-term stability?  Do you know if Katherine Kelly Lang auditioned for SB back in the day?  Do you think Marcy Walker would fare well on B&B if she were to come out of retirement?

Sunset Beach and Santa Barbara can be compared. They were similar, but I prefer SB by far
