B&B October 2023 Discussion Thread

WOOF!!!

 

Same. I love how they have been mixing it up again over the last month or so with multiple storylines again. 

[dragonflies]

Yeah that was eye roll worthy given Brooke had a BED in the FC office at one point

[Fevuh]

I missed it but....the FC office, EVERY office.  She was shacking up in the back room of Bill's office on the regular behind Katie's back.  Or was it the other way around?  But Brooke loves it in office buildings.

Well I see the B&B player on my tv system has befallen to what Y&R player was doing for that period of time I couldn't watch.

Ugh.

 

I was looking forward to that first kiss acutally.

Great to see RJ working on that same sketch he's been doodling for weeks.

I mean, have these writers seen Project Runway? I don't think designs need weeks of sketching and shading before someone gets out a bolt of material.

BOLD is Absurdity on Steriods. First there's Li's ridiculous attitude about her sister. Even worse is the entire storyline.

-- Eric is in a designer battle with Ridge, but we see no designing being done.

-- RJ works on the same sketch every day.

-- Eric repeats the same lines episode after episode.

-- So does Ridge.

-- Eric's monologue about the stapler makes his writing worse than the writing for Ridge.

-- The doctor makes a house call to Eric and essentially says nothing about his illness or his treatment.

-- The music used in Eric scenes is used to hide the terrible scripting and dialogue, and to make us believe this story is in any way a good one.

I've stopped watching but I wonder if the writers were just stalling until Bradley returned. The show really has been about nothing.

Eric talking about that stupid stapler again

I fully expect another twist about Li, Poppy, and Luna. That story today sounded too tame lol. 

[AbcNbc247]

Li, I think you really needed to reach out to your hospital’s HR department instead of just being salty at your sister, just sayin

Exactly! Li's *reason* for hating her sister made zero sense. 

Clearly a *Fi-Core* placeholder for the real secret, which, of course, Brad hasn't thought of yet! 

[BoldRestless]

So what exactly is Li's problem? That her sister had sex/a child out of wedlock? That's supposed to scandalize the Forresters? If it's to protect Finn, he seemed perfectly happy about Luna being an intern. 

[Soapsuds]

I've read rumors saying Li's sister had an affair with Jack and Luna is his daughter.

[BoldRestless]

That's what I figure will happen eventually but as of the information that is known right now, Li's response is really dumb because she's only bringing attention to her family not getting along and making herself look like a jerk. If she weren't making a big deal everyone would be like "oh, Luna is related to Li and Finn? That's nice."

[soapfan770]

Li hasn’t been an endearing character herself…remember this the same woman who let everyone think Finn was dead, berated, bullied, and blamed Steffy, and also encouraged her son to commit manslaughter. 
 

I’d like Li for being a frosty nasty mother in the Bell tradition of something like an Alison Bancroft or a Lilli Belle Barber, just make it make sense lol. 

[Fevuh]

I catch about 10 minutes total a week and only know what I know from reading really.  But - why would someone on the other end of the phone - the girl Luna's introduction....or at least I hadn't seen her before.  But someone on the other end of the phone kept saying to stay away from the Forresters.  STAY AWAY from the Forresters.

What would the Forresters have to do with Jack Abbott or why would Li care that this Luna girl is at Forrester....if it's because she's somehow Jack's daughter.  That doesn't make a reason for her to "stay away" from the Forresters.  

I must have missed something.  Honestly, I think they should make Li like Carmen Santos from GL.  Controlling over her son.  Honestly, this is a chance to rid ourselves of Sheila.  Let Li become the new villainess but she at least has a chance of being an "anti-heroine" rather than straight up villain.  Sheila is too far gone, but with some tweaking and meddling, Li could become that person/take on that role without all of the over-the-top Stefano DiMeara disbelief you have to have with Sheila.
