B&B: March 2021 Discussion Thread

Probably covid-precautions related. They generally try to keep them away from each other in a shot which can't be done for a fight.
 

I never said anything about the conversations.

I said Thomas being the one that reveal the paternity test switch is a more organic - although not "original" - way to redeem him than giving him a deus ex machina disease to make us feel sorry for him (the classic brain tumor plot) or save someone else in spectacular fashion (like they once did with Adam on Y&R where he saved I think Faith from something).
It is at least character-based which is a more interesting development than a single plot aimed at wiping the slate clean. It is more of a process. So as far as redeeming strategy for a sullied character go, I'll take it.
I'll take it a lot more over trying to make us forget what Flo did simply by making her a relative of existing characters. As if this had anything to do with anything.

These recaps make it sound like it's same old B&B - moving at lightning speed.  If all of this is happening why not lengthen out the story so that there is some kind of payoff?  I would say at least it sounds more interesting than Y&R but still not anything that I care about.  I think fans have had their run of Hope/Steffy/Liam and I just don't care about Thomas or some lame redemption story.  The one time I passed by I can't remember what Brooke said but I felt like, you are one insufferable *itch.  No thanks.  From what I've read why does she want Katie and Bill back together?  So that she can steal him again?  

 

I haven't been watching regularly at all but does Hope still have the mouthy little demon seed/Douglas?

  

That was just so terrible.  I love when people refer to her as Flo Felon.  Oh but she's a Logan now so it's OK.

What should happen:

 

Thomas is very interested curious by Vinny’s feelings in the aftermath of the paternity switch and explores them with Hope’s support but cautious concern  to get closer to Vinny. 
 

What will probably happen:


Thomas & Hope become lovers after Hope kicks Liam to the curb, but then Thomas suddenly disappears and leaves a “Dear Jane” letter for Hope urging her to be with Liam after all. Thomas then wakes up in caged bedroom that Vinny has built a la Lisa Mansfield. 
 

 

Dumb dumb dumb indeed!

We don't know anything about Finn's background AT ALL!!! Brad of course hasn't developed him as an actual character before rushing him into a romance with Steffy. I'm expecting a psycho ex or a meddling parent played by a 90's television star.

Yes! It has been driving me mad.
Bell does this very often with outsider "spoilers" to established romances - where the "other guy" is so nondescript because his only role is to be the other guy. Think back of all the men Brooke has dated that weren't Forresters. There was never much to them

    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
