B&B August 2022 Discussion Thread

B&B can be so annoying. How many days are they going to have Steffy repeat the same dialogue? lol. 

 

I like Krista Allen as Taylor but she reads more like Steffy's older sister. Her giggle at saying 'epic' was lol.  Allen is having fun and I appreciated Taylor saying she wouldn't be passive anymore.

 

Brooke and Ridge were eh. Brooke definitely channels Stephanie by insisting HER daughter would raise Douglas. Brooke of course followed up her annoyance at the Tridge kiss with a makeout session. 

 

It was time about a decade ago for both Brooke and Taylor to say to Ridge 'kick rocks and get away from us'.

 

Slightly annoyed they're back to Hope vs. Thomas over Douglas. But OK. Annika Noelle plays the crazy eyes well. She'd be good in a slasher flick.

 

Deacon/RedHeadSheila was filler but I will appreciate seeing Sean Kanan.

Based on the casting news, it appears B&B films 3ish weeks ahead of air date. That's tighter than I thought. In many cases that's worked to B&B's advantage because they can quickly ditch things that aren't working or pounce on something that unexpectedly does.  

The custody battle was a strange choice after the Finn drama. I mean it's kinda hard to really care about Hope losing Douglas considering she's not related to him. It may have worked better if Thomas was in a serious relationship and then wanted to do it. Of course, that may be the underlying angle for Thomas/Hope.

So, Brooke forgives Ridge for kissing Taylor, and then Ridge and Brooke share an intimate kiss together? And Deacon acts like a horndog to some random lady stranger knockin' on  the door who could possibly have syphilis or chlamydia? GTFOH, man. 

Okay, so the Deacon and red-wigged woman scene was hot

 Deacon was feeling his fantasy. I've tried to do stuff like that, but in my subconscious, I already know who it is, and then it immediately goes into my conscious. Then, it gets ruined.

Tune in for 5 minutes and - why are women fighting over Ridge and why are their kids constantly up their butts, and parents butts welcome the kids being up them and they return the favor by being up their kids butts…? I can see you t hasn’t changed. That’s pretty much it.

    • A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

    • Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.
    • When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist. 
    • Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.

    • I started a separate thread for the same tribute, but of course it can be discussed wherever. doesn't matter where. Fyi  Jason Cook, Staci Greason, and Eileen Davidson will be there as well as Reckell and some of the current cast Thread for Live tribute to Drake https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/68987-days-currentformer-actors-live-video-tribute-for-drake-hogestyn
    • Seeing Nicole and Martin together reminds me of watching Alice with Mickey Horton in the 90s and 00s. The seem more like peers than mother and son.  The younger half of the cast (35ish and below) is playing younger, and the older half (35+) is playing older.
