We're in yet another holding pattern with characters just repeating the same words over and over again.

Why couldn't Bill and Liam's scenes be replaced by a B-story to mix things up? This is why it feels like stories come out of nowhere. There's no build-up with stories at the different start points.

Why can't these people find ONE other restaurant in LA to eat at??? lol

The dialogue is out of control bad... there was this moment where RJ was telling Luna something like - Thank you for being such a truthful and honest person. I mean... who says this to someone else? It's so obvious to make us say... AHA! But she isn't! So one-dimensional. A guy with RJ's body and age... will not be talking to Luna like he is a 65 year old man. He will be doing other things... 

It's so UNNATURAL and out of touch with the reality how YOUNGER PEOPLE talk and communicate.

WE NEED A NEW HEAD WRITER ASAP.

@Althea Davis@1974mdp I used to *pitch* that B&B should have the younger characters clubbing, experimenting, fastlife, etc. especially in LA fashion world.

After seeing that B&B's average viewer is 70 yo, I understand why that's never happened. If B&B and soaps could draw in younger demos, it could be more Gossip Girl than Golden Girls, but it's not. Of course, I'm sure those watching via Paramount are far younger, but still it's a tough road to draw younger.

Just listen to Bold live. That's all you need.

Casey: Yes your are live with Kimberlin. What's your question?

Idiot female caller: What dress would Sheila wear if she married Deacon?

Lord!

LMAO, and yes that person is right, this show doesn't use foreshadowing or anvils or whatnot. That drives me crazy that some see anvils in literally every single thing. Aaaah the days of watching soaps pre social media lol

You're right Ron that's so the type of question they'd get

How bored KKL must be... that in months and months the only 2 scenes she is doing on repeat are 1 - smiling and hugging Ridge and telling how excited she is to be with him and 2 - asking Hope is she really thinks Thomas is the right man.

Sometimes when I am watching this for the 2934839th time I get a feeling of creepy deja vu. The REPETITIVENESS AT THIS LEVEL is new even for this show.

I mean... imagine going to work every day, getting in makeup and wonderful wardrobe to repeat the same type of scene you did yesterday and the day before.

Back in the day, even in the most boring years... there was at least the camp and the over the top lines. Now it's flatline of Boring and Repetitive.

I really will gag the next time I see Brooke gush when she sees her on and off husband for 4 decades - Ridge. We are really tired of them hugging and kissing and telling each-other how much the love each-other. Really tired. WE GOT IT - WE heard it the first 6490 times.

And then Hope, who is how OLD? Talking to her mother like she is 16... GIVE ME A BREAK.

      This is just a guess but I feel like the fact that they keep mentioning her dead husband is for a reason. We know Martin has a secret that likely involved someone dying. Martin's victim could be Alan which Leslie/Dana either knows about or finds out and she uses that to blackmail the family into letting her crimes slide.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Just thinking how the Ruth/Leticia guest spot really cemented how Days had changed. Stunt casting with a campy/comedy character in a 'wacky' storyline was something that a few years previously would have been completely out of place on Days (and most other soaps for that matter).

      I am interested to see how they handle Leslie/Dana down the road. If she continues in this path, it would be unrealistic to have her around. Like other shows have done this with a 'villian' character and ended up with people looking stupid putting up with someone they detest. Another thought-could they be building up to a murder story? Maybe Les/Dan will be left in a coma and we will have a whodunit with several characters as suspect. It would also be a chance to redeem her I wonder how long the show will go w/o resorting to soap cliche stories-twins,switched at birth, murder mystery, long lost child etc

      Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.

      One thing I thought about is if Hayley will have a reaction to Bill threatening to kidnap and sell a baby. That's another level of viciousness and with her just having thought she was pregnant it might make her feel some type of way.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      You're welcome. Fall 1982-Spring 1985 was the peak of primetime soaps. What a time to have been alive.

      Ratings from the 1990s

      By kalbir · Posted

      1990/91 Cheers, Roseanne, A Different World, The Cosby Show, Empty Nest, The Golden Girls were still Top 10 shows, and Murphy Brown and Designing Women became Top 10 shows. It was the following season that I think was the transition season for sitcoms.
