Meh. lol. 

 

Other than Thomas finding out that Sheila is behind the Bridge breakup...and even that has abruptly dragged while at the same time playing the beat of it...it feels like the show has stalled. At least for me.

 

I did like that Zenda got a brain enough to call Paris out on her feelings. And the look she had on her face was priceless as she fumbled for words. 

 

I wish they would do more with Grace. She has the makings of a nice villainess herself.

Well, Grace, guess you don't have much to smirk about now, do you?

That said...I'm not sure how I feel about Grace walking in on Carter and Paris. On one hand, the story needed to move along a little bit, but...too soon? On the other hand, perhaps Carter and Paris could have sneak around for a little bit? In any case, those were okay scenes and I giggled at Grace storming in and did what any black mama would do and see Paris trying to cover up and she pushed the shirt open. Just a little 'slice of life' moment.

 

Hmmm...Thomas having a guilty conscience could be cool if it gives conflict between him and Steffy.

 

I think I am officially over Brooke crying now. lol.

The past 3 months of BB in a nutshell.

Brooke - Why did I drink that night. Cries. Why did I kiss Deacon.  Repeat these same questions... 1000 times! I AM NOT EXAGGERATING!!!!

Ridge - Listens in silence while Steffy is telling him to leave Brooke. Ridge is like a stupid puppet who stands, listens, makes 1 or 2 face expressions... and that's all.

Steffy - Brooke is bad, dad. Give my mother a chance. She is a homeless dog, who nobody loves. Please give her some attention, because Brooke kissed Deacon. 

Taylor - Hmm... Are you sure Ridge? Is this really happening. Am I going to get some of that d... after 40 years... Is this really happening... WOW. Hmm....

Sheila - How clever was I... the change the bottles. Cue flashback. Hahahahahahaha. Smiles creepily into camera like a cartoon villian. 

Thomas - Minion to Steffy. Repeats everything Steffy says. HAS NOT PURPOSE WHATS SO EVER in the show... other than to be an instrument to the truth coming out. Thomas has no life... no sex life... has NOTHING. NOTHING. He ever wears THE SAME clothes for weeks. Yep.

Deacon - Brooke I can give you so much more. I am poor, I mop floors, I am an ex convict and alcoholic, but please see that I'm better than that famous designer Ridge.

Hope - It's my fault my mom drank that night!  Ridge... take her back. I am masochistic little woman with no life. I am obsessed with my mother's private parts and I talk to my man about them.

Liam - has nothing to do in life for months and months other than listen to Hope talk about Brooke.

 

EVERY EPISODE has THE SAME DIALOGUE. Nothing's happened in months and months... This my friends has been THE LOWEST point in the history of The Bold And The Beautiful.

Any suggestion where to buy PRINT ISSUES of Soap Opera Digest these days?


My parents toured various Publix, WholeFoods, CVS locations and it is nowhere to be found in Miami Beach. I'm asking because the current issue has B&B on the cover and it is retailed on Amazon for 11.99...

Whats going on with these scripts... WHO is writing this. I want to know the exact script writers... because EVERY day is THE SAME as before. I think they haven't moved a bit in months. Its beginning to look and sound pathetic. Also the hair and wardrobe is DEMONIC. Brooke has worn the same clothes for 3 months. Are you kidding me. Once upon a time... she changed 3 times in an episode. What is the budget for this show - like... 20 dollars an episode. What's going on. How is this low quality production being shown on national tv. 

 

Brooke neeeeeeeeeeeeeds to move from Asking herself Why did I did that. Baby you are 60 years OLD!  Your daughter and son in law shouldnt be your personal therapy session buddies. 

 

It's scary how much this show has FALLEN. Even comparing it to 2002... 2002 seems GENIUS. 

I mean... call me negative... but I AM A HUGE FAN and I've watched all my life and I WANT more than 90 episodes of Brooke asking  WHY DID I DRINK THAT night.... 

IF someone from the show reads this - YOU STINK AND ARE DESTROYING THE LEGACY OF AN ICONIC SOAP OPERA.

Bye.

From what I can tell...any Wal Mart, I guess Costco if it's there, and as mentioned SOME (not all I've noticed) grocery stores.

 

I would go with a Wal Mart, Ralph/Krogers, or Target. I always see them there. I have one Ralph here that was (until this week) getting the next week issue before it even post the cover on the SOD FB page.

I'll say this much...JMW Steffy gives good Bitca. She was being one all through the last two episodes. And I was eating it up.

 

That said...yeah...outside of Grace vs Carter/Paris this past week...the writing has been too repetitive. And even that confrontation was same-ish.

As usual I am not nearly as enraged about it but can't deny they lost the momentum they had at the beginnng of the year by dragging the Brooke kissed Deacon story while at the same time not adding enough twists and turns for it not to feel repetitive.

That said, I continue to like the ideas on paper and Thomas finding out is a great wrinkle. But they need to throw more curveballs.

    • 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.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
