B&B: July 2021 Discussion Thread

[Faulkner]

Scott Clifton has aged really well. He looked like a zaftig young Ryan Reynolds clone with frosted tips in that old GH clip in the Stuart Damon thread.

The 2000's were a very unkind time for men's hair and fashion (hell, hair/fashion in general).

That is very true! A little of a skater/metrosexual/late ‘90s boy-band hangover too. Although I give SC credit for getting his body right. (He’s annoying af on B&B, but he’s extremely attractive.)

[Faulkner]

This show sucks. This tear-soaked $Bill/Justin yellfest is so much cringe. Aaron D. Spears deserves better.

The cringe is real lol

More and more I’ve been wondering how this show is still ahead of Days and GH in the ratings.

[Planet Soap]

In stead of getting a strong black villain, Justin goes back to Bill crying for forgiveness. It would’ve been interesting to see Justin take over Spencer for a few months, and possibly even try to make a play for Katie. He could have even hired Carter. Something to the effect of Jack and Brad taking over Newman in the 90s on Y&R. But instead they show resolves things in lightning speed. Granted fast paced is better than boring dry prolongment But at least try to give events more weight by dragging things out a little bit.

This is a horrible show and just keeps getting worse.

Don Diamont's crying had me LMAO

This suicide hotline PSA. Disgraceful. Especially after this nonsensical story.

This week Thomas tells lies and threatens everyone to keep the secret!

No? Oh, this week Thomas attacks Liam for his constant flip flopping!

Not that? I got it: This week Thomas needs brain surgery after finding out his latest obsession with Hope wasn’t his fault!

Wrong again? …Wait, he’s the good guy and helps Liam?

Nah, that’s not it.

Catch up with @boldandbeautifulcbs weekdays on @cbstv or the @paramountplus app! Obviously I will ‘cause I’m very confused.

LMAO at how these actors know they’re playing dogsh!t. Gotta hand it to him. He never phones it in.

[FrenchBug82]

I mean I giggled and I appreciate the self-awareness but there is a hint of unprofessionalism about an actor seriously s***ing on his own show and writers publicly like that.

We are not talking SC gently mocking the obsession Steffy and Hope have for his character. We are talking an actor straight up saying the writing for his character sucks and he doesn't know what he is playing.
It is almost as if he is trying to provoke a "falling-down-the-elevator-shaft" situation and be let out of his contract.

[Faulkner]

Oh it’s totally unprofessional. But I’ve been so appalled by what I’ve seen on B&B lately that it’s hard for me to get up in arms about his breach in decorum. (SC has said something similar recently; I’ll have to find it.)

Part of me feels Brad knows his writing is trash and probably would have a chuckle over MA’s post himself.

[edgeofnik]

I think MA's post is perfect. C'mon B&B has always been OTT - it's never been a serious soap. It's more style than substance. This is the only soap that has never had a single, effective murder mystery because that would require foresight. 

For example: Brooke's insta-alcoholism and Myron's PSA came and went in WEEKS, but permanently damaged the characters. Brooke 2 week problem with alcohol has left her unable to drink and Maya can't be changed back. The writing is impulsive and wildly inconsistent. 'There's been a MUR-DAH!' Ugh. 

I'm betting response to MA's post is overwhelming positive by fans.
