I couldn’t tell if this was new or previously used footage lol. Of course my minor excitement to see if Susan was really back was killed by Krista’s announcement. 🤨😤

It's all previously used images and soundbites, a-la what they did for Jeanne Cooper at one point.

Wow.

At first I wasn't positive either if Susan Flannery returned for that scene...But I kind of had a feeling it was previously used images and soundbites.

And yes, I am still bummed by the Krista Allen news!

They need to call it a day and get Susan back for 3-5 more seasons. And then end the show. They can easily lie like they did with Taylor and Eric's last secret before dying is to be that Stephanie has been in a coma in Germany for the last 10 years. 

she does NOT want to return that's the whole reason she's RETIRED lol

are you her secretary or her cleaning lady?

I'm pretty certain that *politics* push SF to leave B&B, she would've picked up other gigs. As far as I can tell, she really did retire from acting.

Anyone who believes that SF couldn't a land even a guest/recurring spot on another soap, an episode or two on a prime time series or an independent film is delusional.

I'm glad I've only kept up with reading the episode synopses during the past few months. This Eric faux dying story is just too much - and not in the B&B campy good way. Sad.

Yeah it is bad, if this truly is JM's exit story then they should be ashamed

He seems to also be talking about the decline of daytime in that clip, not just internal politics. The way daytime had degraded at that point (and has only gotten worse since).

@titan1978 Ah, thanks for elaborating. The media and fans have been saying daytime has been in a *decline* literally for the past 40 years. As you note, if he thought things were bad when he left ...

Don’t watch current BnB but seems like a bone-headed move to let Krista Allen go like this

This is such a headscratcher. She was a total BREATH OF FRESH AIR and worked as a recast when I totally thought it would never gel. But, the show is so laser focused on only writing for six or seven people that all of these great actors barely get used. If you watch the classic episodes when the show first started, the stories were balanced. I actually enjoyed the show more during the writer's strike as more than one story was often featured. But, here are back with BB and his seemingly incapability of writing more than one story at once.

I wish KA all the best. She deserved FAR MORE than she got.

I'm pretty sure the hospital would NOT allow Bridget to work on Eric in the operating room.

Yum alert on today's episode!

No question. Whoever dressed RJ knew what they were doing.

RJ vs Zende is the only storyline that still interesting to me. I really hope the show runs with it.

It's time for a new triangle anyway lol
