Members ranger1rg Posted July 16, 2021 Members Share Posted July 16, 2021 Honestly, I was angry when I saw that PSA for the suicide hotline. Just horrifically out of place. Disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted July 16, 2021 Author Members Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) B&B lacks the range to do social-issue stories. Brad should stick to the trashy, outrageous stuff that’s in his wheelhouse. Scandals, sordid affairs, sex under absurd circumstances. The major problem is that Brad fails to give payoffs to even the trashy stuff, certainly not since the Beth story concluded. He doesn’t give us the satisfaction of really good high-carb, empty-calorie TV. He writes little self-contained arcs that deflate and sputter at the end like a whoopee cushion, which perhaps makes the show more digestible to the casuals?

Members Faulkner Posted July 16, 2021 Author Members Share Posted July 16, 2021 I don’t think LSV is a bad actor, but he doesn’t seem to play anything but smirky “you know want all-of-this” seduction. Who cares when you look like that, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pdm1974 Posted July 16, 2021 Members Share Posted July 16, 2021 I'm glad Carter and Quinn weren't already dropped as I suspected would happen...they're hot together! Still...that should have been allowed to build more before the reveal. So many missed story beats there that would have made the reveal so much more compelling. Of course, same thing with the Justin story. That should have been building for many months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted July 19, 2021 Author Members Share Posted July 19, 2021 LSV’s triceps tho. I see a lot of people commenting on the Quarter age difference when there’s just around 14 years between RS (born ‘68) and LSV (born ‘82). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ponds Posted July 19, 2021 Members Share Posted July 19, 2021 I think Carter is gorgeous, but I can't buy him with Quinn. I'm not sure if it's her age or the antics and lies of her character. She's certainly nobody he should lose his job for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrenchBug82 Posted July 19, 2021 Members Share Posted July 19, 2021 I had no idea "Carter" and "Quinn" had an age difference. I don't think RS looks 53 at all and I think he could pass for relatively older in a "black don't crack" kind of way. I have seen many black men who looks like he does at 53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members xtr Posted July 22, 2021 Members Share Posted July 22, 2021 I wonder where they are going with having Paris move in with Finn/Steffy. Especially right before his parents will show up. If Paris really needed a place to stay they could have had her stay at the Forrester Mansion. She's fond of Eric & the family as a whole doesn't seem to have an issue with her. And may even be "grateful" to her for helping reveal the truth about Quinn/Carter. But they are having her move in with Steffy/Finn. Hmmm...lol.

Members Faulkner Posted July 22, 2021 Author Members Share Posted July 22, 2021 They need to stop having black folks sing on this show. I’m reminded of Timothy D. Stickney’s anecdote in the OLTL oral history. He said he pretended to be tone-deaf so they wouldn’t haul him out to sing at holidays and funerals.

Members Chatty Cakes Posted July 22, 2021 Members Share Posted July 22, 2021 The only good line of the week so far has been Eric. “Carter’s on top of it.” Yes he is Eric, and perhaps under it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chatty Cakes Posted July 22, 2021 Members Share Posted July 22, 2021 Quinn has definitely upped her sex game with Carter as her lover. I hope she gets a great divorce settlement too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
