B&B July 2022 Discussion Thread

This was worth 100% checking in on this board.  I watched for a couple minutes the other day and heard Liam and Bill and Wyatt talking about why isn't Sheila behind bars for everything she's done.  I didn't watch anything else but thought - that's been said for 35 years practically.  Yawn.

But this snippet was worth the visit here. I think the reason I don't care for Quinn/Rena is that they made the whole show about her for a couple years and it was ridiculous.  But, I do think she's a decent actress so it's kind of a shame that she was 1-note crazy/cartoonish for years...it set the table for if/when she does have feelings of any kind - I don't care.  The impression is spot-on, save a few things that would have been insulting to the actress who plays Donna.

I have to say, and I only check in once and a while, but from the brief things I've seen, it's kind of a breath of fresh air, and not at all (sadly) that B&B has done well at least in recent history.  There are no new characters with staying power, so anytime a new character is/was introduced, it was wondering when they would be killed off, or sent on their merry way - the character is just a plot point.  Back when Liberty Bibberty was introduced it was kind of sad/useless because you just know he's a goner, of no consequence anyway so who cares.  If B&B goes the route of actually having a character going forward, I am shocked and this would be a positive sign that someone finally gets the show cannot be Liam, Steffy, Hope, and Wyatt 24/7.  They missed the boat the size of an aircraft carrier with Courtney Hope/Sally....have no idea why that didn't smack someone in the face with such obvious talent.....but maybe this is a sign someone has a brain at B&B.

    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
