No it is obviously not the twist.
There is no amount of overhyping that would square "amnesia" with never-been-done-on-daytime before. Come on!
Everyone was also convinced FInn dying was the twist two weeks ago.
I concur the wait is getting annoying but NONE of this is even "a twist". We will know it when we see it. We probably will find it lame and all that but these ordinary soap events are not a twist and are not the twist.

I stand by one of my original ideas for the twist: pull back the curtain, so to speak, reveal that what we've been watching since March 23, 1987 is, in fact, a daytime soap opera called THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL; and then reboot B&B as a daytime drama that takes place entirely behind the scenes of a long-running daytime drama (also called B&B).

We know KKL is good (well, mostly good) at playing Brooke Forrester, but how good is she at playing KKL, who plays Brooke Forrester on TV?

They had a good six months and it is derailing

Which fits my earlier theory of Brad Bell: when he gets a bright new idea, he makes everyone move everything to fit that idea and drop everything.
This again feels like he had the idea for the twist so the nice slow smart way they were writing a decent soap has been forced to adapt to quickly go to the narrative place he wants them to go because he is a child excited by a new toy.
He was excited by Sheila's return then no new idea for a while so the team was able to write some normal decent soapness and THEN boom here comes Eureka Boy.

Nah!  This is Bell's complete fixation on Liam.  He hasn't focused on Liam in a minute and couldn't wait to get back to it.  Steffy being told Liam is not her husband harms her how?  And what is the hospital staff for if they can't handle this?  Hope if a fool to go along!

I was working from home for 2 months, watched Bold and couldn't believe how long the show went on without Liam as the focused.  Well, Bell is remedying that now.

I'm nice so I'll put it that way: I am OK if Bell wants to use Liam. Fine. Write for him.
But why does it have to be Steffy/Hope triangle over and over and over again.
Give him business storylines! A health scare! 
The Vinny murder mystery was written disastrously on the merits but on paper: fine. It was something *else* for Liam to do.

He is not my favorite character but it is the triangle being repeated ad nauseam that's infuriating.

    • If the show was interested in tying in one of the three prime time specials in the 90s, the smarter choice probably would have been Night Sins from 1993. Night Sins was the ushering in of Titan Publishing, the first mentions of Kate Roberts coming in to run it, plus it had involved Jack retyping a manuscript he had found in the new house he and Jen moved into... which ended up being a thinly veiled story written by Kate about her dalliance with Bill Horton that produced Lucas. However, I doubt the writers were even thinking about the prime time episodes when deciding to name the manuscript One Stormy Night.  I also don't see Stephanie being the one that would be writing it.  The current actress playing Stephanie seems to play a more passive version of Stephanie vs the previous takes by Shayna and Shelley..imho. Javi is cute... much too good for Leo.  He can do so much better.
    • I might've gone after someone like Jed Allan, or even Donald May. Though they're very different.
    • Same.   Looking forward to seeing what I missed later.
    • Question for all: Who would have made a good Mike recast after Stewart departed?
    • I think they did. Again, it is not an either/or proposition for most of the audience so far. Most don't feel the need to stan one or reject the other.
    • KKL on Bold Live on May 1st. Details here  
    • I do wonder if the show realized that fans would take to Silk Press and Eva as much as we have?    To me, I think the core four was mostly used to get eyes on the show since all four were familiar performers in both daytime and primetime.   Of the four, I think Nicole is used most effectively where it doesn't look as though she's hogging airtime.  She works as a lead and as a talk to. Anita has been the most under utilized of the four, but I do have a feeling that might be changing once the Ted/Nicole/Eva/Silk Press Story goes back to support status. Of the four, I think Dani has been over-used.. but I do still see potential for the character.  I know some people think she's the modern day Erica Kane, but I don't see that.  Erica was a Have Not that became a Have while Dani is a Have by birth and has done nothing to have earned being a Have. Good cliffhanger.
    • LOL now this sells it for me!  I can't wait to watch later tonight!
    • I think this is a great observation.  I do wonder if some of that was down to how Nixon had started writing story and plot outlines.  By this point (maybe even by the mid 70s) many have discussed how she *didn't* write detailed story outlines anymore--the focus more was on a mood or theme and ABC simply allowed that because they trusted her at this stage (in her "memoir" I think even Megan McTavish talks about Nixon's writing in this way in the 90s and she basically seems to admit that it worked for Nixon.  But if Nixon wasn't in charge of the daily execution of these ideas...)
    • Ooooooo that was a soap reveal!!!   And we even got a brief Kat vs Eva fight.   OOoooo cliffhanger!!! Oh, yeah, I remember they had a cover story, but I find it interesting that it was just mentioned again today. I wonder could it be foreshadowing another twist coming up.
