I think it's time Thomas and Brooke have that mistaken identity accident.

Early 2012 when Nick, Owen, Bridget and Jackie all left town during the same week or so. He hasn’t been mentioned since Nick sailed out of town with him.

The storyline in which Taylor conceived with a mistaken egg should have cancelled the show. CBS should have called Bell and told him to go somewhere else with this [!@#$%^&*]. Imagine giving birth to your biggest enemy's child. I am sure that's how it was pitched as an idea, but... not all ideas should be executed. Even this is compelling drama compared to today's standard. It gave us this scene.

Actually I loved this. Only problem is that it happened in such a dark, obscure time in B&B's history. And today it seems like it's never happened, so it's a waste.

[Soapsuds]

Can this soap be any more repetitive and dull?

Does anyone care who is newbie Luna's dad?  She hasn't been on that long for me to care. Like we don't know who the dad is.

Thomas/Hope repeat episode 1 million.....zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Don't care!

I should've avoided today's episode.

Something's up since the pandemic. The show has never recovered. It's been consistently bad ever since 2020.

[ranger1rg]

It really feels like the writers just don't give a sh_it -- as if they write a script just to get it over with, and repetition makes that easier. It's hard to feel like anyone cares.

 

[Maxim]

If someone knows and can tell me what were the exact script writers for the past 5-10 episodes I would be very grateful. The scripts have been SO BAD. SO SO SO BAD. 

[dragonflies]

Brooke made some good points today I agreed with but overall she can STFU about Thomas given her history of stalking Ridge, keeping the secret that Thomas was his etc etc etc

[Jeff]

Luna's father must be Jack.  After Finn's comment Poppy lived with them a year before Luna was born.  What's the relevance unless hunky Ted King returns?!

[ranger1rg]

There's SO much repetition on this show. SO much copy-and-paste.

Can you imagine if BOLD ran an hour? Imagine running 2 episodes back-to-back. Jesus.

[Gray Bunny]

That would certainly help explain the Poppy / Li friction. 

Or, they could throw Thorne Forrester a bone and give him another daughter since his other one died and no one ever mentions her. 

[Soapsuds]

There are rumors that Luna's father is actually Finn. In a drunken stupor in college he slept with Poppy. Ewwwwww

Preach!!

OMG...that would actually be a great reveal...twisted as all hell, but great!

There has to be something bigger about the rift between Li and Poppy than Li didn't like the way she handled her hospital gift shop job.

Well...I was here for Li vs Poppy. It was nice to see some fire out of Poppy...something I usually see only with Li while Poppy comes across as more meek even though she's a wildflower. Their scenes were giving me memories of old school Y&R and Olivia/Dru. So I didn't mind that at all. 

 

It was funny to see the comedy of errors with RJ/Luna/Bill/Poppy and the beachhouse. it was something different with a nice cameo from Deacon/Sheila. I guess my question is...so was that Wyatt's exit scene? Because that was decent given how they just have characters just up and vanish...only to get a line months later after they have already left. 

 

Meanwhile, Eric's recovery is slowly in the background. But not forgotten which I like.

 

Lots going on. If they only keep it going.
