Members Faulkner Posted April 11, 2022 Members Share Posted April 11, 2022 It’s a problem with all of these shows to an extent. Maybe not as extreme as B&B, which expects daily amnesia from its viewers. That’s not soap. Makes it so easy to tune out. I’m still pissed about Quinn’s absence from recent stories. She should have been involved in pretty much every story this year so far, from Sheila to Carter/Paris. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jeff Posted April 12, 2022 Members Share Posted April 12, 2022 (edited) I appreciate your commentary regarding this @janea4old it didn't today, I hope tomorrow. Of course it is fiction, but this could be resonating for viewers that have contemplated suicide, been in a similar situation, etc.; Suicide should never be taken lightly regardless of the circumstances, if B&B doesn't do a PSA, shame on them, that is in such poor taste.

Members Aback Posted April 12, 2022 Members Share Posted April 12, 2022 I agree. Bell lives in the 80s. It’s embarrassing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edgeofnik Posted April 12, 2022 Members Share Posted April 12, 2022 I think the context for a PSA is a factor here - Sheila shot her own son to cover-up other crimes - so there's not emotional connection with a large part of the audience. Most likely assumed Sheila was using it as a ploy to trick Taylor. On the other hand, if Hope were despondent after she 'lost' her baby, got depressed, etc. and was on that ledge, that would be considerably different. Let's face it: Brad has really botched this story starting from the label swap. It's been a complete disaster. They'd be better off waking Steffy from a coma when JMW returns from leave, make it a dream and wipe it away. No one will care or remember since B&B will be back to 'normal' in 5 episodes and never mention it again. If they didn't want the actor who plays FInn around, recast, or have him leave Steffy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faulkner Posted April 12, 2022 Members Share Posted April 12, 2022 I guess Rena got her episode allotment. NOW she shows up in this story. Where’s Paris in all of this, I wonder? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted April 12, 2022 Author Members Share Posted April 12, 2022 Where is Paris in the Quinn/Carter stuff? I don't know. There is a week of April 11th spoiler pic of Paris with Zende and the caption says they are being supportive at the hospital. Please register in order to view this content Paris has a new hairstyle. But no other spoilers for her yet. Seriously the most interesting thing they have spoiled is her hairstyle. Is Paris going to be with Zende? with Carter? Are they going to give her a life and a storyline that's something other than men who sort of care about her? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soapfan770 Posted April 12, 2022 Members Share Posted April 12, 2022 Lord let me guess, Steffy thinks she is still married to Liam? This show makes me so sick Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soapfan770 Posted April 12, 2022 Members Share Posted April 12, 2022 We’ll probably get some “shocking” twist next month when JMW goes on maternity leave of where Steffy either goes back into a coma or gets hauled off to a psych ward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edgeofnik Posted April 13, 2022 Members Share Posted April 13, 2022 Because just sending Steffy to the Paris office for a few weeks during her leave *simply* wouldn't have worked. Having Steffy revert to thinking she's still married to Liam is so pathetic. How about Steffy waking up and thinking she's married to $Bill? Or Rick? Are fans really clamoring for Steffy/Liam/Hope triangle? I doubt it. B&B's HOT Summer Previews: - When Steffy's recovery faces a yet another MAJOR set-back, Hope finds comfort in someone *unexpected* (Thomas) - Carter, Paris, Zende and Quinn welcome Steffy and Liam home during their one June episode. - Steffy places a MYSTERIOUS call to Genoa City. - $Bill discovers Steffy's been faking it as part of her revenge plot to nail Sheila. $Bill tells Steffy to forget about that psycho Sheila and focus on keeping her reunited family again. - Flo and Wyatt check in on Steffy/Liam during their one July episode. - After Hayes suffers a MAJOR health crisis, Steffy must turn to the only person who can save him (Sheila). - After finding common ground, Sheila and Steffy celebrate with a bottle of champagne. - Brooke's epic search for the dark forces leads her to open her very big heart again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faulkner Posted April 13, 2022 Members Share Posted April 13, 2022 The most boring direction possible. These effing shows aren’t worth our time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted April 13, 2022 Members Share Posted April 13, 2022 So true. The other thing I have speculated/rumored now is Steffy is going to wake up with DID and think she is Hope and that Hope is Steffy. Given how such an outlandish plot is already awful on Days, I can’t even imagine how such a story would play out on B&B. @edgeofnik I’m dying laughing Please register in order to view this content Thudley and Casey would be proud of those spoilers, only thing missing is a vague line about someone dying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
