Annika Noelle can be super earnest and annoying but she’s clearly got talent.

I don't think I can watch another episode unless Hope quits CRYING!

I didn’t see but did Hope or Katie cry?  Totally shocking.  Reading spoilers and what would be Vinny’s motivation and how would he have access to test results?  Dumb

LOL!!! We finally saw the rest of the cast today including annoying Zoe. Ugh. B&B really has a skeleton cast at the moment and it’s weird there is no B story at all.

 

Actually today’s ep was a little weird as Y&R’s ep today in the US had Bill in Genoa City already while on B&B Bill was announcing to Wyatt & Flo he was going to GC...I’m wondering if B&B is still a day or two behind following the Impeachment trial. 

 

Oddly Kelly Kruger made a random appearance as the publicist lady again, I’d rather have her back on Y&R as Mac would be better than some current Y&R ladies at the moment.

Vinny is motivated by love of Thomas of course! 😉Shades of Reese Buckingham all over again who partly switched babies because of Brooke’s behavior towards Taylor, but we did not get Wayne Brady & Tylo back to deal with that aspect of the fallout at all.

They're not smart enough but I'd have Kyle's love child be Flo's (Y&R B&B crossover), Retcon a little and Flo travelled for a year and jumped Kyle's bones.  And it's actually Beth, who "died" on B&B, and Flo the Felon actually did give birth and let Dr. Buckingham sell the baby because she didn't want it.  So Hope's baby really did die and is baby-less.  Flo and Kyle are the parents.  Beth died.  And let Sally get that information and go after Summer and Kyle.     

That sounds better than what’s currently happening on both soaps

I want Mac back, but I don’t know if I want Kruger playing the role. She seems slightly improved since her initial stint but still not up to par. 
 

Impeachment trial definitely screwed up the timeline. Oops.

Isn't that how the character is written, more than anything AN is doing herself, though?

To me, the lamest part of the Liam/Hope/Steffy is not how unending it is but that it exactly mirrors the Taylor/Brooke/Ridge dynamic.
Taylor later became less saintly but during the height of the triangle she was... earnest and annoying like Hope. And Steffy's vibrancy mirrors Brooke's.
I mean, inverting the daughters from the mothers when it all started was a fun idea but now, ten years later, we are still on that basic dynamic and it is lazy.

Ok, all this kindness is getting a little nauseating. Part of me likes that Finn is being so nice and forgiving, but another part of me can't stand it.

 

And somebody still needs to beat the crap out of Liam.

I’m so tired of Hope being the wronged/battered wife while Steffy is the jezebel who cant keep her legs closed. All the while Liam skates again. Bill has zero investment in Steffy/Finn. He’s just using Finn as a prop to simmer down people tired of the before mentioned triangle. Someway somehow Finn will be the bad guy in this story. Either it will be because he drives a wedge between Steffy and Liam parenting or he turns out not to be a nice guy all the while Liam will get to be the hero and forgiven again.

Well, as I said earlier, Bell is clearly relying on the trick of switching Taylor/Brooke with Hope/Steffy and reproducing the Ridge triangle with Liam instead of relying on the fact both Annika and Jacqueline are strong actresses and have tried to give their characters layers.
It is just so much easier to write the same dynamic he has been writing for thirty years instead.

Vinnie used the word fetal which caused Thomas to get suspicious. So I guess we know where this ride is going.

Not that I'd want this to be the first gay storyline on B&B but I'll allow the Vinny nonsense if it turns out his motive is a crush on Thomas.

That does make sense. He wants Thomas to be happy because he's in love with him. They could definitely pull it off. Matthew Atkinson and Joe LoCicero have great chemistry

That's what that line "I hope you remember it was thanks to your buddy Vinny" my mind had to go there because otherwise that line is too stupid.

I'm glad they're taking that route. The last thing Liam needs is another kid.
