B&B February 2020 Discussion Thread

[Taoboi]

Now that I have time...February Sweeps...or Sleeps?

 

 

 

DISCUSS!!!!!!!!!!

[AbcNbc247]

It’s been sleeps for a while, but today was pretty good.

 

Has Katie always had such a big mouth?

[SteelCity]

I guess since she has no life outside of her annual health crises she's got to be a busy body.

@AbcNbc247 I'd hate Katie so much, but when HT is locked in on raw emotional stories, I can't avoid getting sucked in. 

 

Anyone else think that Bell intentionally avoided revealing the illness? $B being contrite about Sally before and after finding out increases odds of some experimental/off-the-books treatment. Heck, if Felicia aka Sally before Sally could be cured...

 

CH is the only reason I've ever cared about Sally. 

[AbcNbc247]

HT is ok, but tbh I don't understand how she won three Emmys for Katie.

Heather Tom had some mindblowing scenes as Katie during her alcoholism, post-Partum depression and Brooke/Bill-affair. She is sensational real - no acting ticks, just believable acting. It’s very rare and super difficult. IMO, all acting awards were truly deserved

[edgeofnik]

@sheilaforever HT earned those awards. What's happening with Sally is a good example...in three years since CH joined, how many 1:1 scenes have HT/CH shared prior to the run-in at the hospital? I rarely recall them being in many group scenes. Maybe I missed something, but I doubt it. The fact that I can buy Katie's genuine concern about Sally speaks volumes about HT's ability to transcend the material so naturally.

Wow, I just saw the news about Alley Mills' husband...how horrible.  So sad.  Very sorry to hear this.    

[Fevuh]

I don't either but I can kind of see it.  She does lose an organ every year and cries well.  But the one I don't understand is younger actress when she was Victoria on Y&R.  She was very average but the feather in the hat was that it was Y&R.  

[AbcNbc247]

Well, I'll admit I wasn't watching around the time she had Will and was pushing Bill and Brooke together. Maybe when I watch it, I'll see what everybody else sees.

Brad is totally off on his approach to reinventing Thomas as romantic lead. Using Douglas again is an automatic turn-off for the audience. Even randomly inserting Vinny calling it out and Thomas doing it anyway, just makes it worse.

 

Considering the way B&B burns through stories, which then leads to ping-pong the next year (Hope/Liam/Steffy; Bill/Brooke/Ridge; Sally/Wyatt/Flo), if they are determined to do this, then have Hope slowly fall for Thomas after he incrementally changes. Otherwise, just have Thomas completely lose it and send the character away for a few years. 

[SteelCity]

I really want Vinny to just grab Thomas into a deep kiss every time they share a scene.

Hunter Tylo is basically on Twitter confirming why she won't return to B&B (seems she said she's not coming back to play a doormat or some bickering high schooler).  

 

I mean, I can't say I blame her. Why won't Brad just recast? The show is completely unrecognizable and nothing like the B&B of old anyway. Stephanie gone, Sally gone, Macy gone, Thorne recast, Taylor gone, new awful Ridge, Sheila gone, James gone, just recast and rename it 'The Logans' or some nonsense.
