Y&R and B&B April (and late March) spoilers

[Faulkner]

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.

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.

I agree. Bell lives in the 80s. It’s embarrassing.

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.

I guess Rena got her episode allotment. NOW she shows up in this story. Where’s Paris in all of this, I wonder?

[janea4old]

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.

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?

[Faulkner]

This show is so incompetently written that it’s embarrassing.

Lord let me guess, Steffy thinks she is still married to Liam? This show makes me so sick

That's what I was thinking. It's not a bad dream but this.

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. 

[edgeofnik]

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.

@edgeofnik LOL your "B&B HOT Summer Previews" sound just like what they'd do.

[Faulkner]

The most boring direction possible. These effing shows aren’t worth our time.

[soapfan770]

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

Thudley and Casey would be proud of those spoilers, only thing missing is a vague line about someone dying.
