 The time to evolve brooke was 20 Years ago and that train never left the station because of extremely bad writing. Brad will do anything for cheap scandal and over the top drama. After brooke slept with Bill and got pregnant in 2013 .... anything... anything is possible. Brooke and Liam is something very expectable for Bold. It could drive 2, 3 years of disgusting story. I would watch because... it's been so boring for so long. I mean.... I guess I prefer a sex scandal  over Copy paste storyline from 1991! Brooke Ridge and Taylor triangle is so worn out... it's like a public toilet doorknob. It's shocking and absurd for women that age to act like that over this old playboy that they both should have forgotten by now. Brad is copy pasting 30 year old storyline and it's laughable. 

The time to evolve Brooke was after Hope's birth, when Bridget cut ties with her and she moved in with Stephanie. That could have been Brooke's road to Damascus moment.

There is no one on this show that is worthwhile anymore. Brad Bell and his writers have managed to make all of them unpleasant people. And the sad thing is that it wouldn't be that hard to make most, if not all of them, sympathetic. Just tweek their lines slightly and have them show some self-awareness.

I remember when I watched the movie "Philadelphia" there was a female lawyer cross-examining Tom Hanks' character. She came off as a real bitch with the way she was treating him and her line of questioning. But when she sat down she whispered to her co-worker something about how she hated what she just had to do. That simple line gave her character another dimension, and in an instant your perception of her changed. A few lines here and there of that sort in this show could do wonders.

So true, practically every single character on the show is extremely unpleasant. I think it has to do with how they speak and behave - the dialogue is just so dumbed down, repetitive and confrontational, like they are all a bunch of mean high school kids. I can't remember the last time I saw a genuinely warm and friendly interaction on the show, or truly intelligent and humorous dialogue for that matter.

The sad truth is that no character can speak in any other "voice" than the scriptwriters' voice, and that voice is thoroughly unlikeable.

Spoiler

So Nikki Newman's coming to LA to see Deacon

I can't wait to see this! I wonder what Sheila will be doing while he sees her lol 

Broken Ho Brooke seriously said she did NOTHING to interfere in the TRIdge marriage? Is this twit on crack?

She also said her and Ridge thrive when they shut out the real world?? LMAO, this twit's on crack or glue or something

 

 

I think Brad Bell went on vacation for a week and left this message for his writers:

"Copy and paste the same dialogue every day. These morons watching the show won't notice that the entire show is about adult kids getting involved in their parents' relationships. When I get back, we'll have Sheila cut off another toe."

If I were one of the actors, I'd be ashamed of what they're making me say day after, after day, after day, after day, etc. etc. etc.

I'm not so sure. Look at the majority of the cast. I'm certain they're happy to be on a show that probably fits well with their personal lives.

The fact that it's 18 minutes long, a huge international audience, fun remotes, a cast that really has no drama, etc. B&B is probably considered a pretty good gig. It's also the least likely to get cancelled. Those international sales probably help make it financially sound.

I think KA's obvious happiness is probably indicative.

Sounds like it, or it's Bradley himself lol

ugh where does Dumbelina get off being nasty to Paris? I wish Paris would bitch slap that entitled c u next tuesday 

After the last week of episodes, I can’t help but remember the time that Casey the producer said that “B&B was never going to be the same again”

And I laugh and laugh…

Steffy was savage at the end of yesterday's episode. 😆 I kept saying, "DAMN! ... DAMN!" It was surprising and oddly satisfying seeing someone be so curt and getting what they want in such an in your face way without even trying to be coy.

She's so her grandmother and I'm here for it, she ain't go no time for those trifling hoes lol!

 

 

9-14

 

Ugh. Shut up, Brooke.

 

That said...I liked that the writers really and truly have been trying to find as many ways as possible to get Thomas, Finn, and sometimes Liam (and okay JM over on Y&R too with that foine Dad bod) shirtless. Thomas has really been looking all kinds of yummy the last few episodes. And he has been wearing this long-sleeved black shirt the last few days with white stripes that is bringing out that form even more. The things I've been thinking lol. 

 

That said...I'm not sure if I'm ready for Liam/Hope vs Thomas over Douglas. I mean...what if the boy wants to be with his dad and feels his dad has changed? Are they wrong for denying what is in the best interest of the child? 

 

I cannot believe that Sheila got that close to Hayes though. Uh oh. 

 

I am happy to have Finn/Steffy back, but...and I say this often...JMW always gives good bitca. 

Bill SR hated the slut from the valley lol!!!! He'd hate his son being so damn LOWganized!!!

 

 

Perfect example of B&B plot device: 'Of course, I didn't call Widge back after Steffy hung up on me. He came in late when I was asleep and left early this morning before I was awake. ' Either Brooke is drinking or taking massive sleeping pills!

After Steffy hijacked Ridge's phone, do we really believe Brooke wouldn't be sitting on the couch waiting for him to walk through that door? Or if she went to bed, she'd definitely confront him when he walked in. C'mon. This is just lazy for an already intolerable storyline.
