I found the twist with Eric and Donna to be a huge surprise! I kinda buy it though. I'm just glad Quinn and Carter are getting more airtime. They have such great chemistry. The illy-defined character of Paris is a dud no matter who they pair her with. No fault of the actress, but we're just told OVER AND OVER (in B&B style) about how wonderful she is but not shown why which makes it hard to invest. It was similar with Zoe.

B&B is so repetitive that if you watch one episode a week, you’ve watched them all. Last month, at least early on, things were actually happening in the aftermath of Sheila shooting Steffy/Finn. Now it’s back to a slight holding pattern.

Sometimes I wonder if a 2022 discussion thread would suffice.

LOL I was talking about this with my mother  who was complaining about Steffy acting so weak & helpless and begging Liam to stay beside her compared to Sharon being strong and brave in the face of Rey’s death.

 It use to be B&B’s good period extended out for several weeks before falling into a lull for a few slow weeks before something new re-energized the show. Now we have maybe a week of good stuff and then the show fall into lull that lasts six months.

Is Jacqueline MacInnes Wood wearing a wig? I can't help but notice the hairline is more centered when her line is usually on the right. Plus the coloring seems off, and it's cut at the edges when Steffy clearly had more of a slight curl and longer hair when she got shot and was left in the alleyway.

While I have to disagree with you on some of what you said, I definitely disagree on the 2022 discussion thread. I guess I'll have to take more of an active role in the discussions to spruce up activity. Definitely will not do a yearly thread thing. Monthly is perfect.

I was partially joking on the 2022 thread thing, but it had become a running joke in recent years that a month would be half or more over and no one would have started the monthly B&B thread. The big hyped-up “twist” was generating a lot of the recent activity, but I feel like people are tired of waiting for it.

1. Has Li visited Steffy and/or Hayes?

2. When was Finn's memorial service?

3. Where is Finn buried?

I thought for sure JMW was going to be bedridden until her leave. She's still bringing it.

Does anyone know what B&B's tape-to-air schedule is like now? They always seem to tape closest to air. With last week's announcement that multiple Jan 6 hearings will televised throughout June (both day and prime), I wonder  if B&B will focus on a less important story due to the inevitable pre-emptions (partial and full). Of all soaps, they have the ability to adjust the best.

So over Hope being so insecure about Liam being around Steffy. Though I understand why.

 

JMW stays doing good work. Though I giggled at Liam saying she just got shocked and got home and STILL look like a model.

    • I tend to have two minds about Tawny (Kathy Najimy) fainting during Soapdish's big reveal. You're the costume designer, if anything, you should have known the whole time. I guess it's an application of what TV Tropes calls the "Rule of Funny." Every time I watch Delirious, I always want the genuine romance in John and Mariel's reunion at the deli counter to last longer. Film critics had their knives out for Sally in this period. I'll start a separate thread on the movies page.
    • I don't think so, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was Dumas this whole time.
    • Tamara Tunie was serving up grand dame diva fierceness.
    • Nick told Victoria that he and Sharon had married in England.  Victoria was shocked.  Then she realized he was kidding.  He confirmed it was a joke and they're platonic. I don't even know what to say about that.
    • It's funny you say that because part of the entertainment of the trials on the show are all the day players who come on as witnesses and jurors.  I'm certain it was like the Law and Order of its time. It employed so many New York actors, that if you look close enough, there's usually someone vaguely recognizable in the courtroom.
    • I will defend Dante.  People already suspect he may be a bit unstable from time to time (from his time as a prisoner).  And, he's taking care of other people's kids from time to time.  So, he has reason to be cautious with those in his care.
    • Josh continues to try and milk Abbott/Newman rivalry. First it was Billy/Victoria, then Kyle/Summer, then Noah/Allie (that worked out well) and now Kyle/Claire. Do we have any inkling when Billy Flynn will arrive and who he will play? I'm sure Cole's illness will mostly play offscreen. What's in store for Nick and Sharon? Is it time to put them back together? I can't see any other romantic options. Nick has no children on the canvas to play off, as Christian is never seen. Sharon has only Mariah onscreen.
    • I would appreciate (if they're not coming), for future scripts to refer to them by their iconic hairdos.  For example, if Hope needs to call Chelsea because Bo has Sepsis, I'd like Shawn-D to say, "My Mom called Chelsea (the one with the sassy short black hair) for an update." Also, new rule, if Melanie does return, she needs to dye her hair back to red.  I googled who she was five times during Victor's funeral.

    • Broderick, thank you for all of the info [I edited for space]. I am so grateful for everyone filling in the blanks for me. I suspected the Nora/Eliot scene was very important and it was setting something up but I didn't know what. Can't wait to see it play out. The two actors had such a great back and forth. I should have made the Paige/Patty Hearst connection. I thought Paige was in love with Brian from the first episode I watched but it seemed as if they were brother and sister. Steve kept being affectionate with her so I assumed he was the love interest. Then she was affectionate with someone else and well..she's a very busy woman. I can't wait to see Frances Fisher show up. (I'm trying to be vague because I don't know what would be a spoiler in this storyline) Now it makes sense why Draper would be upset. I didn't get the whole background of why he didn't go to NY. I'm a sucker for good acting, so I might still side with April and Margo, if the writers don't give Draper more to do besides yelling.  He had more chemistry with Logan, but I know that's not happening.  Something else I noticed: the show really takes care with even the smallest parts. The acting is superb. Too often, I noticed on older soaps they don't take care with the recurring or day players (Ryan's Hope was so bad with this that I couldn't make it through some episodes). It's only been six episodes, but so far, the casting department was spot on.
    • I thought Dante was overreacting.  Gio made some mistakes but he's young and he tried.  It's not like he dragged two 14 years to a party and made them get blackout drunk.  Dante can have the initial upset reaction, but to go on and on was a bit much.
