B&B: July 2021 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Has anyone argued over whose portrait should be above the mantle yet?  Anyone fallen or shoved off a balcony and lost a shoe?  Anyone texted with someone non-stop and then suddenly texting doesn't work or they need to talk to them in person (for some reason) to tell them something and then (insert accident) happens?  Something happens somewhat important, but no one lives in Los Angeles actually because no one ever sees anything important and there are only security cameras when they feel like it.  

I just read stuff and laugh...the whole show hasn't been anything but stupid plots for years.  Just got old for me and I don't even read about it now other than passing by these threads.  I don't know how people sit through it.  

I laughed when I saw Woods say something about how they needed to tell the addiction story accurately and carefully.  From what I read it lasted like 3 days or something. Yeah, people address their addictions and get over them in one week I guess.  Very accurate and emotional.  LOL.  It really is a shame that I saw they had Daytime Emmys and they were on CBS???  I haven't even looked at a list to see who won because it would be depressing that it couldn't be a tie that no one won.

I don’t like how Ridge and weasely Wyatt are talking to Justin. “Your boss asked you a question.” Plus, we have Liam wistfully remembering these pastoral scenes with Hope and Beth. 

This story bugs me. The optics are borderline Birth of a Nation. 

And, again, no follow-up to the aborted “commitment ceremony.”

Not for nothing, but if Justin is Bill’s right hand man (which he’s boasted so much over the past week lol) wouldn’t he have access to something that could put Bill in prison, without having to send Liam up the river or locking Thomas up in a cage?

If you’re going to rush through story, at least make it make sense.

Glad Tommy is out of the cage but aye yi yi. First off, the police chief goes around to cells to harass the prisoners?  Why didn’t Hope call the police so they could have been present for the rescue and perhaps question Justin? 
Why is Flo forgiven for all the crap she pulled? Where is Eric? Some follow up please, is the man up to his ass in martinis? Couldn’t he have stopped in to see his great grandson?

    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.     
    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.
