Damn Loser is an expert gas lighter, Steffy rejected his loser ass so he gas light's Hope to keep his options open

I knew Thomas would get hurt in all of this, tis why I wanted him away from Hope cause Liam/Hope are Bell's Brooke/Ridge next generation and Thomas will be collateral damage 

Hey Ridge STHU YOU and DUMBASS Bill are the reason why Sheila is free to begin with

Liam is such a loser…

With B&B downtrending in ratings and a coupled along with a recent complete ratings collapse in Australia you have to wonder if Thudley and Minnis actually care about this show anymore or just waiting to be cancelled by CBS next year.

I have people who repeatedly tell me he doesn't care about ratings cause he doesn't need the $$
I can't imagine at all that CBS is happy with these ratings, losing over 400K since a year ago

No "thus far" Finn isn't the cheating or man whore type, but keep trying

Though 10 is bumping it from its timeslot for the return of Neighbours to an earlier slot. They have also been screwing around with its repeat airings in the mornings in the last year.

@boldau do you have the figures from last year to compare? Still the ratings seem decent and I'm sure 10 has bigger issues to worry about like how their primetime is a mess and how the network is consistently fourth in the ratings.

Yes, correct. 10 envisage that Neighbours *could* be a good lead-in to the 5pm news, however time will tell. In saying that, Bold before Neighbours may give it a solid prop - a decent soap hour!

However, there has been some noise over the move which takes effect 18 September, which will likely increase once people realise the change has happened. Bold has been a great lead-in to 10’s 5pm news since February 1996 (when Bold moved from 1pm to 4.30pm). Bold’s new 4pm timeslot may fail given that Fridays episode will air at 4.30pm. Neighbours will not air on Friday’s (worldwide output will be Mon-Thurs only). The inconsist timeslot may damage Bolds brand on 10. More info here if you wish to read.

10 shuffled their mornings in January this year (to shorten Studio 10 which was failing). The Bold replay moved from 7.30am to 9.30am. Bold gets more eyeballs at 9.30am - mums/dads have done school drop off, Today show etc. has finished.

Thank you for clarifying @boldau and @Slutty Shauna Fan the Australia situation. It appears I was misled in one of the FB groups I’m in that people in Australia had abandoned the show in droves. Maybe they meant people were just disappointed by recent stories idk. 
 

It’s hard not to watch a total train wreck sometimes lol.

This show is so embarrassing.

Just imagine everyone in town has nothing to do but talk about relationships -- OTHER people's relationships -- and who should be with whom.

Just imagine someone like sl_ut Brooke Logan (of all people) dispensing relationship and marriage advice to her daughter or to ANYONE. Ditto who_re Ridge.

Just imagine a simp of a woman like Hope who screws Thomas with mad lust one day and the next says "Oops."

The truth is, even if we remove Liam from this show, it's still GARBAGE.

    • Yes, they did.  I still have them.  I think there were three.  AMC and GH as well.
    • Ah okay, thats what I thought. I was hoping I missed the announcement somewhere. Thanks for the clarification.
    • 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.
