Lol this story just doesn’t work at all.

 

And I like Carter, but how in the world does he go from the Forrester corporate attorney to being the COO? I suppose this sets up a battle with

but comes off as very contrived and silly.

The promotion itself made little sense but since it means some airtime for Carter I’m fine with it. Especially if we get a much deserved Liam and Hope break. 
 

The 2nd wedding to Shauna is also silly.
 Ridge is the most reluctant groom and a man in his position would simply annul the marriage. Any feelings he develops for her will be null and void when he finds out she manipulated him. I’m all for him moving on from the nasally whining Logan but not this way. I want him to be fully in love with another!

I think the entire storyline is a mess.

 

Ridge has to act like a complete idiot to even agree to another ceremony. Who does that? It’s just ridiculous. Every scene this week was stupid, just building up to Katie overhearing ANOTHER FaceTime conversation between Quinn and Shauna.

 

And weren’t those talks stupid, too? Quinn would call her on the phone, not do some FaceTime with her. Brooke acts perplexed, which also dumbs down her character to nothing...Shauna is embarrassingly desperate...Quinn does nothing but try to wreck Brooke’s life while standing by the mantle...Eric walks in like a doddering old fool who’s lost...and Ridge stands there speechless and lets things happen to him.

 

i’d rather have spent the entire week on Steffy.

Katie Big Mouth strikes again!

 

I'm liking the show, but I think things are moving too fast. There's almost no time to invest in any of the storylines because the moment you do, the show moves on. It sort of reminds me of how ATWT was in its final years.

Agreed

To me, last Friday‘s and this Friday’s episodes showcase how wildly B&B can swing from engrossing (if rushed) drama (Steffy’s meltdown with Ridge and the Logans) to absolute throw-your-TV-out-the-window nonsense (the Quinn/Shauna stupidity). I don’t think any other soap has such variance in quality. Yesterday was just insultingly bad.

That scene was so dumb. How was Katie lurking with Quinn having no idea she was there? Then to keep blabbing the secret over the awkward face time calls made no sense. 
Personally, I think Katie should keep her trap shut so Brooke can cry her little eyes out. As many times as Brooke has screwed Katie over, it’s time Katie got a little revenge.

Reading recaps - probably time for more rehash - the last full episode I saw was the Thomas/Zoe wedding where they busted him.  Just from reading I would guess Ridge will go to the alter and then bust Shauna and Quinn there.

The way they handled Shauna and Ridge is not only boring, but they trashed her character for nothing. When you look at the iconic schemes of Sheila, Morgan, Amber and evening Quinn...how did they manage to make this so boring?! B&B used to do vixens so well!

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
