B&B to air classic episodes

[Faulkner]

I agree. One of the limitations of this format is that viewers lack the context and the build-up that can often give emotional scenes like that their power. Still, I’m just reminded of the scene shared here from ages ago when Stephanie learned Brooke was pregnant with Eric’s child, which I saw out of context having not been a B&B viewer at the time, yet SF’s very similar, hyperventilating, eye-bulging reaction hit me right in the gut. Felt much more natural to me. 
 

I will say that SF had the benefit of an already tense scene that was escalating while JF had to stop on a dime and express horror all of a sudden. Very tricky.

In the confrontation scenes it sounds like she has a cold or something. It's very nasally. Great acting of course.

Any update on next week's classics?

So, they decided to recast Zende after all..

If they are able to get some popular actors on board - they'll do that. That's what happened to Thorne. Winsor would have played perfectly the storyline with Katie (especially that the two of them shared some scenes in 2007) and he was always ready to come back full time again, but Ingo was much more popular, so they recast Thorne. I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to have Winsor again the next time Thorne will appear.

Monday July 13,  

On a belated honeymoon with Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Liam (Scott Clifton) is stunned to learn that Hope (then played by Kim Matula) and Thomas (then played by Adam Gregory) are staying at the same resort and that Steffy knew about it. When Thomas spies Liam, he quickly grabs Hope, hops on an ATV, and rides through the beautiful ocean/mountain terrain of the region. Hot on their heels is Liam, who has also jumped on an ATV, and Steffy, who is riding on her own close behind. Meanwhile, Amber (Adrienne Frantz) interrupts a cozy moment between Marcus (Texas Battle) and Dayzee (Kristolyn Lloyd) and assures them that Hope would never make a play for Liam, who is a married man. Brooke (original cast member Katherine Kelly Lang) is happy to learn from Ridge (then played by Ronn Moss) that Hope turned down Thomas’ marriage proposal. Katie (Heather Tom) angrily demands that Bill (Don Diamont) tell her the truth when she realizes that he’s been running interference and manipulating Liam, Steffy, Hope, and Thomas from afar. Originally aired on January 3, 2012.

 

Tuesday - July 13

The day before Liam (Clifton) and Hope’s (Matula) wedding day, Hope, Brooke (Lang), Pam (Alley Mills), and Stephanie (Susan Flannery) plan the ceremony and luncheon. Meanwhile, believing he is in desperate need of a break, Steffy (MacInnes Wood) “kidnaps” Liam and the two spend a fun in the sun day on Venice Beach dancing and playing volleyball. Later she professes her love to him and questions why he is marrying Hope when all she has done is disappoint him. Liam lets Steffy down easy, telling her he will always love her. Before leaving Forrester Mansion for her romantic pre-wedding dinner with Liam, Hope stops to thanks Stephanie one more time. She becomes concerned when Stephanie, who has had lung cancer, begins to cough and can’t catch her breath. She cancels on Liam without telling him why making Liam feel that perhaps Steffy is right. Steffy, out at a local nightclub with friends, is surprised when Liam shows up and tells her that Hope stood him up. The two proceed to dance the night away. Originally aired on August 12, 2012.

 

Wednesday - July 14th 

Caroline (Linsey Godfrey) becomes jealous as she watches Maya (Karla Mosley) and Rick (Jacob Young) in one another’s arms watching fireworks at The Bikini Beach. She plots with her friend Rafael (Andy Zuno) to ensure that Rick sees the sexy scene that Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Maya taped for their new show “Room 8”. When Oliver (Zack Conroy), Marcus (Battle), and Dayzee (Lloyd) tell Rafael they want a sneak peek at the series, Rafael plays the sensuous clip while Rick squirms. Caroline happily watches as Rick takes Maya aside, unhappy with what he’s just seen. Wyatt (Darin Brooks) and Hope (Matula)watch the fireworks together, when Liam (Clifton), rushes in and demands to know who Wyatt is. Things become awkward as Wyatt steps aside but can still hear Hope and Liam argue about how Liam still puts Steffy first, even though she left him to live in Paris. After Liam leaves, Wyatt tells Hope that he finds her intriguing before leaning in for a kiss. When the kiss breaks, Hope is stunned to see the Spencer sword around Wyatt’s neck. Originally aired on July 5, 2013.3

On the heels of her breakup with Liam (Clifton), Hope (Matula) decides to go all-in with her burgeoning relationship with Wyatt (Brooks).

In a quest to get Pam (Mills) on her good side, Quinn (Rena Sofer) takes her new “BFF” on a “girl’s day” out in Beverly Hills where they lunch, get mani-pedis and go shopping. Frustrated that Ridge (Kaye) wants more time apart to become clear about their relationship, Brooke (Lang) tells an apprehensive Rick (Jacob Young) that she is going to make the decision for him by presenting him with her previous engagement ring. When Ridge informs Brooke that he is at Katie’s (Heather Tom) house, Brooke takes it upon herself to show up and tell them both that she doesn’t want to wait to reunite any longer.

Friday - July 16th

It’s the day after Liam (Clifton) and Steffy’s (MacInnes Wood) Australia wedding and everyone is partaking at the reception at Bondi Beach.

Steffy confronts Sally (Courtney Hope) about crashing her wedding for her own publicity stunt, even though Thomas (then played by Pierson Fodé) invited her. Thomas arrives just in time to witness the two ladies tussle and Sally fall into the ocean! As Brooke continues her quest to find Ridge, she happens upon him and Quinn who, unbeknownst to Brooke, are ending their affair of the heart and share one last kiss! Steffy and Liam celebrate becoming Mr. and Mrs. Liam Spencer by taking a passionate dip in the sea. James O’Halloran from The Price is Right guest-stars.

Trash.

[DaytimeFan]

 

Totally agree about HT. She's Taylor. It is pointless to recast that part when HT is available and does her job well in what has become a thankless part.

 

If B&B wanted to bring Kristian Alfonso on the role she would excel in is something like the recurring character she played on Melrose Place: an LA madame who was an absolute bitch. That was Alfonso's best acting/role.

So B&B has never had an episode featuring summer fun before 2012? Lol.... 

[kalbir]

Thanks @Forever8

 

Another week to skip. Moving on.

What happened to Thomas after the wedding?  Did the actor take some time off to do a side project?  Was Thomas written off the show?  It's just so weird to have the show centered around one character for a year or so and then he just disappears with hardly any mention of him.

The Bridget/Deacon episodes were a huge example of why the format should have been singular focus on one story line for a week or two, rather than disjointed episodes. I loved the moment she doubled over in that scene.

 

I've been not reading the weekly descriptions to be surprised by which episodes air each day, but seeing the "spoilers" help me to not waste DVR space, especially given next week

If I remember correctly, the show shifted to Flo/Wyatt/Sally for its final 3 weeks pre-Corona. Liam/Hope/Thomas were hardly if all on... I assume that all would have returned within another weekly set of episodes
