So, Zende took that trip out to Malibu just to be a dick? 

What a loser

This is actually a good idea and Brad is ruining it before it even gets off the ground.

So, Steffy's hair is soooo dark now, I actually thought for a hot second that Finn was kissing Luna when I first turned on the TV! I was like...what the hell?! LOL

And, in case we forgot, we were told for the milionth time that Finn saved Eric's life, but I'm not sure anyone really knows how. All we needed was for someone to poke their head in that office to remind us for the millionth that Carter is "like family" and Thomas has "changed."

The RJ and Zende stuff could be SO MUCH better if it were more subtle and gradually built. I'm glad Zende mentioned the orphanage and getting adopted. That would be interesting to explore becasue it would get into who he really is deep inside and how it's imapcted him. Who am I kidding? This show doesn't do deep. To make things interesting, Luna should actually be looking at Zende and thinking...hmmmm...I might have more in common with THIS guy than the one who's had everything handed to him. Dare I dream?

So Eric gets a terminal illness. Has some kind of transplant/operation for who knows what. In recovery, although we don't know from what.

Dr. Finn goes to the Forresters  to tell Eric his "markers" look better than expected, and that it's all due to Eric's "determination." Even better, the entire medical community is impressed by Eric!

You cannot make this stuff up.

@ranger1rg Isn't fascinating that B&B is the only US soap in history that can't do soap staples: doctors, lawyers, trials or murder mysteries well?

In fact, most attempts have been outright failures. I get not being able to do one, but all of them?

The Belief ownership saga was actually the only time they knocked it out of the park on legal.

1987 Caroline rape trial was done very good.

[ranger1rg]

It's just all so lazy, and that's what I find most offensive. I'd respect BOLD more if they explained the medical stuff and got it wrong rather than getting this -- a complete lack of any attempt at all.

It means no research was done, and the audience is again taken for granted.

[edgeofnik]

Season 1! What about the following 36 years! lol

@ranger1rg Honestly, it like the worked off the Sally2 'dying' scripts. Same vague nonsense. It's shameful.

[AbcNbc247]

Ehhhh… this will always be the superior Eric and Donna

Why would a hot, beautiful woman like Donna... be with a... 80/90 year old man, who fu-ked her mother and her sister...

This has been one of the worst pairings even and I feel sorry for JG that she has to play this [!@#$%^&*] and call him honey bear.

The only scenario I can see is that Donna is just an unofficial escort. Which is completely possible.

He looks like her grandpa. 

I am all for age difference, but after 40-50 years, it starts looking kinda disgusting.

[ranger1rg]

Yep, especially since McCook is playing Eric as older and weaker than ever.

 

[edgeofnik]

JG is 53 and JMcC is 79. You'd never guess.

Heaven forbid they paired JG with Aaron Spears again (Justin) and bring back Marcus! The funny thing about Donna being portrayed as a bimbo: JG got her MBA at Pepperdine.

The story that should be told: Brooke marries Eric shortly before he dies. Brooke is officially crowned the Forrester Matriarch. Brooke should be running FC with Steffy.

The kicker: since Brooke is now a mainstay in Bel-Air social circles, she wants to keep FC as a classic couture. Steffy is the one pushing edgier fashion to the brand relevant (except no bedroom line).

Sheila should marry Eric just before he dies and take Forrester Creations - fire all their asses.

I will watch that [!@#$%^&*].

[soapfan770]

LOL you know compared to everything boring that’s going on right now that actually would be funny and entertaining!

Wayyy back in 2016 when Quinn and Eric started their affair I could have sworn McCook was over 80 back then lol yet he doesn’t til turn 80 til this summer.

JG was such a vibrant actress on Y&R looking back it’s really dumb her Donna got stuck in some really dumb rivalry with Pam over Honey Bear to the point both Pam and Donna appeared as contestants on TPIR. And I wish he past history with Justin and Marcus would be actually brought up I hated how the disposed of Justin so easily a few years back in that silly Bill/Liam in prison story.

[Maxim]

The really need to give this to Sheila. She dreamed of taking over 30 years ago. Give it to her already.
