Members AbcNbc247 Posted January 17, 2020 Members Share Posted January 17, 2020 I like Brooke, but yeah, she needed to get hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faulkner Posted January 17, 2020 Members Share Posted January 17, 2020 They always have a little something that looks compelling for a bit, but it’s never sustainable. It’s always back to repetitive Liam/Hope stuff. But, hey, people can always dip in and out without missing much, so maybe it works, especially in this era.

Members crc Posted January 17, 2020 Members Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) LOL! I loved this moment. But just to be clear, NO ONE gave a slap like Stephanie/Susan Flannery. Edited January 17, 2020 by crc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 17, 2020 Members Share Posted January 17, 2020 Imagine how much better that scene would have been if KKL could move her forehead. Still, she's still way beyond anything Denise Richards can ever be. Rena Sofer is fantastic here, and had the only appropriate reaction to Brooke's stomach-churning worship of Stephanie.

Members edgeofnik Posted January 17, 2020 Members Share Posted January 17, 2020 That’s sums up my B&B viewing for past 10 years. Jumped back during Thomas vat. Dropped at Xmas. Will check our this week and probably skip next few. B&B is so easily to just kinda float in and out. The stories are basic and not convoluted with conspiracies and fake identities. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. Plus, the production values are top notch and with few exceptions, the cast is solid. Keeping the 18-minute format, despite some pressure from CBS years ago to expand has paid off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dragonflies Posted January 17, 2020 Members Share Posted January 17, 2020 Shauna's expression during the slap gives me life LOL!!! I think the world of KKL, but man Brooke acts all outraged when someone calls her on her sh*t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edgeofnik Posted January 17, 2020 Members Share Posted January 17, 2020 That was word during 1990s/early 2000s with ATWT or GL reverting to 30 minutes. Bell talked about not changing the format in a couple of interviews. Based on his comments, it was probably a non-starter. It’s a good thing because the one-hour shows are pretty bloated. Despite B&B’s inability to do effective B&C stories consistently, they are able to shift focus in record time when stuff doesn’t work (see Brooke’s alcoholism, Maya’s 2nd baby/custody battle for Lizzie, etc). If only DAYS had that benefit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted January 17, 2020 Members Share Posted January 17, 2020 Boy B&B feels like a completely different show the past 2-3 days when taking a break from the nonstop Liam/Hope/Thomas mess. Probably some of the best scenes on B&B since the slap heard around Monte Carlo in 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Markjeh Posted January 17, 2020 Members Share Posted January 17, 2020 I hate that I'm on Brooke's side but... she's right? KKL always gives her everything in her scenes and I love that. How much better B&B would be if airtime was decently balanced. This week has really showed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 18, 2020 Members Share Posted January 18, 2020 I remember a ton of talk in late 1996, when ATWT and GL were at low points in every way. This was also when the new Hispanic family was introduced, which led some to think the show was bulking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
