B&B November 2023 Discussion Thread

[edgeofnik]

As annoying as Liam has been, the reality is that Liam was the center of the B&B finally launching a new generation triangle that propped the show for a decade. If Tridgooke is still playing on our screens 30 years after it started...

The best outcome here would be for Liam to finally turn dark now that Thomas is *good* and Finn is sainted. The problem: there isn't a logical romantic alternative on the show now. Liam is stuck between Steffy and Hope. Where's Amber when you need her!

Or a brand new character for a change!

[dragonflies]

or better yet write out Liam cause literally no one wants him with either lady or even remotely likes the character. I remember when soaps write out characters that just outlived their usefulness

OMG @Jeff @Soapsuds Look what Puke did, his head on Finn's body LMAO he's cray cray

@1974mdp Unfortunately, B&B's track record of incorporating and fleshing out new characters is abysmal. Case in point:

So Li's big secret over why she *really* hates/resents Poppy is that Li didn't carry a baby and Poppy did? That's it? C'mon, I thought for sure they'd take the easy route and make John Luna's father, giving Finn an on-canvas sibling. Hard to believe Finn has 4 siblings - none of which are mentioned. At a minimum, Diana and Mary are B&B kids.

Did he really??

at least he’s never defended Liam’s behavior. 

[Aback]

I think he's consciously playing Liam as a villain.

[edgeofnik]

Eric is *dying* and not one of his FIVE biological children has been a mainstay on canvas for years: Thorne, Kristen, Felicia, Rick and Bridget. You'd think when the Honeydrippers reunited, Marcus - Eric's adopted son would at least show up every now and then.

Further proof changing Ridge's paternity was a massive mistake that should've been quickly corrected via Sheila.

[DramatistDreamer]

This! And I haven’t watched this show in years but I have felt that was a mistake, much like changing Lily’s paternity on Y&R. Things that never made sense to me.

[1974mdp]

Once the rest of the Marones were written out, they pretty much dropped the whole story point. They should at least MENTION Eric's other kids and if they're going to tell them. It's being played as if Ridge is his only child right now.

You would think Brooke would at least be concerned about how this impacts Rick and Bridget.

you are so right! 

It is absurd and completely disrespecting this character that is LEGACY character. Eric should not be written out like this.

 

[ranger1rg]

If this is a real exit for John McCook, it's a LOUSY storyline. If it's just a fake-out, it's still lousy.

I am so tired of seeing Eric couch and choke blood into a handkerchief, followed by useless, anguished Katie walking in the door.

At least RJ is looking like a snack.

[1974mdp]

He very much does! Now, they just need to bring back Jack, the kid Taylor gave birth to and was from Brooke's egg, to be the son from hell and a pot stirrer.

[Maxim]

And please make Jack gay. We need a gay character in this ridiculous soap. And if your father was Nick Marone, and mother - The Slut from the valley, you would be gay.
