B&B: July 2021 Discussion Thread

Oh yes, B&B has a way of recycling their names. I really think it's easier to count the children who were NOT named after someone else (Thomas, Phoebe, Hope and possibly someone else).

I think the entire list goes something like this:

Mark Lynley - name is a mix of both parents' names (Margo+Clarke)
Rick Forrester - full name Eric Forrester Jr
CJ Garrison - full name Clarke Garrison Jr
Bridget Forrester - name is a mix of both (supposed) parents' names (Brooke+Ridge)
Mary/Margaret/Erica Warwick/Lovejoy - alternative names, one after her paternal grandmother Mary, the other after her stepmother Maggie, the third after her mother's ex husband Eric
Little Eric - full name Eric Forrester III (but sometimes referred to as Little D after bio dad Deacon)
Steffy Forrester - full name Stephanie Forrester
Alexandria Forrester - named after father's ex wife Macy Alexander (whom he cheated on when conceiving Aly)
RJ Forrester - full name Ridge Forrester Jr
Nicole Marone - stillborn baby named after her father Nick
Jack Marone - named after grandfather Jack and grandmother Jackie
Dino Forrester - full name Dominick Forrester after Nick Marone (who was belived to be the father at the time)
Logan Knight (or is it Forrester?) - named after grandmother's family name Logan
Rosie Forrester - full name Ambrosia Forrester, named after her mother Amber (Ambrosia) Moore
Bill Spencer (Dollar Bill) - full name William Spencer Jr, named after his father
Liam Spencer - full name William Spencer III, named after his father and grandfather
Will Spencer - full name William Spencer, the fourth William Spencer in the family
Caroline Spencer Jr - named after her aunt
Douglas Forrester - named after great-grandmother Stephanie Douglas (maiden name)
Lizzie Forrester - full name Elizabeth Forrester, named after great-grandmother Beth (Elizabeth) Logan
Sally Spectra Jr - named after her great-aunt
Saul Feinberg Jr - named after his grandfather Saul Feinberg (who apparently had a grandchild despite having no children)
Kelly Spencer - named after grandmother Kelly Cooper
Beth Spencer - full name Elizabeth Spencer, named after great-grandmother Beth (Elizabeth) Logan
Hayes Forrester Finnegan - named after grandmother's abusive ex husband

EDIT: I forgot Storm Logan, whose full name is Stephen Logan Jr.

I was glad to see Ted King today appear as Finn's dad. Interesting that Finn says he's adopted. I wonder what the real story behind his birth parents are. We actually heard his father thinking today and he was asking himself "Why tell them?" after Finn told Steffy he was adopted. I wonder if Finn's dad really his birth dad, but the situation surrounding is birth is really messy and he is witholding the truth from Finn for some reason. He does look like he could be Finn's bio dad. Someone posted this pic of them on Twitter side by side, they look alike IMO.

 

I hope Ted King gets to stick around. I enjoy him as an actor and he recently talked about how he's happy to be on B&B and wanted to still be on soaps acting. He deserves to stick around and have a good story. Though, you can never really trust this show.

Also, on today's show Quinn mentioned that she couldn't give Carter children, when she was talking about them possibly being together. Carter said what he wanted was her. I wonder if she might end up with a surprise pregnancy with Carter's baby. I also think it's odd that he's Eric's attorney and how Eric, Ridge, and Brooke don't see a problem with that. Or wonder if he still might want to be with Quinn, especially when he was getting a text from her at Forrester and seemed distracted. They are way more mad at Quinn than they are Carter, and it's like they (especially Brooke) think that Quinn drove Carter into temptation. Though, it really was mutual between them.

I think Ted King's character is really Finn's biological father but had it set up like he and his wife adopted Finn because he is the product of an affair he had with Finn's bio mother, knowing if he had brought Finn home without the appearance of adoption, his wife wouldn't be so receptive. 
 

Though I do hope Quinn or Shauna isn't Finn's bio mother. Everyone on this canvas doesn't need to be related all of the time. Some people think on Twitter Finn's bio mother could be Sheila. And I'm like she already has too many children. Even someone suggested that Felicia might be his bio mother, but I'm like, I don't think Brad Bell would have bio first cousins in a marriage. 

And why Finn was keeping the fact that he was adopted by Steffy for this long? I mean half of the Forresters aren't related by blood, including Zende and herself via Massimo Marone. I'm like Brad; this isn't an Afterschool special from 1982.

I didn't know or forgot about most of these but this made me laugh. 

So it's been quite some time there has been a B&B baby who wasn't named after someone. Going all the way back to 'Hope' according to your list, and she was born in 2002?

Why is the nasal sounding slut on Carter’s case about Eric’s divorce? It’s none of her business. Considering all the Forrester men have passed her around like mashed potatoes at thanksgiving, Brooke is hardly in a position to judge Quinn.

Carter and Quinn should become a power couple. I can’t wait to see Eric, Ridge and the sluts faces when they find out they are together.

    • Hey boys, I know these aren’t really thirst traps but I think they belong here. Don’t ya agree?

    • That’s one of the things I’ve liked since the new writers came in; more interactions between characters that they hadn’t really had scenes with 
    • Such a missed opportunity… 
    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
