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.

    • 5-12   Well, as much as i've been enjoying the highs of BTG, I guess I should try to play catch up on my other soaps...lol.   I actually liked this episode. But I guess it could be because I felt there was a lot going on. Bill and Liam's talk. Luna attempting them inroads with Finn. Steffy comforting Hope over Liam. Sheila thanking Bill for helping Luna. Even a decent cliffhanger with Steffy walking in on Luna and Finn.   I know I said it before, but I don't care for the Liam storyline, but the acting has been good.   
    • I enjoyed Santa Barbara from the beginning. Mainly because it was so fresh and different than the P&G soaps I was used to watching.  But there is no denying that it did not hit its stride until 1985. The writing, casting and production all finally came together. Unfortunately backstage drama then slowly destroyed the show and for me from 1988 onward it was a completely different show than the one I was a fan of. 
    • Oh, really? That explains why the reveal episodes...the majority of which Zimmerman did the breakdowns for...hit perfectly. Cool! I really loved that. Background music and all.     
    • I guess I should appreciate Clifton's devotion to his craft, but this comes off as so pretentious. Nothing about Liam's story (or B&B, for that matter) is high art.
    • To me the product placement normalizes these folks. Your bound to see household products around no matter how immaculate someone's house may be.  I was just thinking about her as Yvonne on AMC. Yeah, would love to see her. 
    • There's also the soap opera conundrum: once characters get everything they want, they tend to stagnate. Nola got everything she wanted. One of the things that was really interesting about her was that tremendous need for things out of her grasp. Once that was resolved, there wasn't much left for her to play. Maybe Long could have found something to replace that, but since she wasn't created by Long, she probably preferred to focus on the needy character she created: Reva. They were still significant stockholders. They could have punched back. Vanessa forced to team with the brother she resents. I can see it working.
    • She could have easily tied them into the Cottage Mystery...(they could have easily explained going on adventures with Bea, babysitting) The house that Tony and Annabelle lived in could have been the coachhouse of the property that Qualo and Henry live in, or at the very least Nola would have been totally in on ghosts and secrets of her brother's house. But they kind of just sat around for months.  The clip of Van and Billy's impromptu wedding shows how sidelined Nola and Quint became...Nola isn't even around butting in on them getting married, its all Reva (though it is a more interesting Reva where Mindy and her or going at it and insulting each other..THAT Reva was fun.)  I loved it when those two would go at it. Somehow they could have resurrected that antogonistic relationship and not have Billy worshing at the throne of Reva.  When they brought JC back on recurring they should have had him at least warn Annie about Jeva pulling her down..."Darlin' I love my brother, but when he has ole Reva in his sites he will drop any woman to try to win her back...and then he will get bored with her...she's like booze is to me and you...he hates it but he needs it..get out while you can!"
