B&B: March 2024 Discussion Thread

With B&B in the horrible state it's in, and Brad Bell obviously burned out, the question is, do Bill Bell Jr and/or Lauralee have any kind of influence over the direction of this show? It's their parent's legacy too. If B&B continues down this path, with a new soap looming on the horizon, it's quite possible, maybe even likely, that Brad's incompetence might drive this show to cancellation.

Anyone who is a fan of what Thomas has become is just as delusional as Thudley himself.

I actually do wonder if’s he’s gone mad/crazy over how CBS didn’t actually renew B&B but picked up the one year option with no fanfare compared to the attention and press that Y&R’s 4-year renewal and the announcement of The Gates being in development has gotten. Desperation can cause recklessness.

It made zero sense Steffy calling Hope a slut. Steffy is very cold hearted and Thudley is ruining her.

Is Thudley panicking? They have previews now for next weeks show? Are they noticing they are losing viewers?

AN killed it in that scene with Steff-anie.

'You gonna regret it' aka 'I gonna be banging bouncing bibbity by next week.'

Brad has lost it. B&B is the easiest show to course correct. He's done it for years. I'm not sure why we've gone through 2 complete years without a single compelling storyline. Nothing.

Bottom line: most of us who are complaining/boycotting are doing it because we miss our show, not because we hate it.

Thudley doesn’t think he’s ruining her, he’s turning her into Stephanie/SF so in his books that’s a win

i was so hoping Brooke would have snuck up behind Steffy when she grabbed Hopes arm and did a surprise slap in the face! I’d love that!! 
 

I don’t mean to also bring the actors into this, but I wish someone would remind JMW her character isn’t this great moral person….i know they are just reading the dialogue,  but from stuff she has in interviews I think she enjoys playing Steffy like this a little too much.

So...like Y&R...we get a NEXT WEEK montage now? Wow. Well, it looks like next week is all about Sheila. Shocking.

 

This week...I was in for seeing Steffy v Hope. But I admit that the acting has been great. And I loved Hope throwing some good insults. And the fashion was on point. Red is definitely KKL's color. But I felt let down by Friday. 

 

And here comes that RJ/Luna/Zende story and zzzzzzz.

    • My comment has nothing to do with cast resentment, but does relate to the Finland location shoot: It may be a coincidence, but Jim Matthews died in Finland in 1982.  Hugh Marlowe's final episode was in April 1982, but the character probably didn't die untll May or June. (I'm unable to find the character's date of death, only the date of Marlowe's final episode). SInce Jim and Rachel had very little interaction after around 1975, it is unlikely Jim's death in Finland had any connection to Rachel's potential visit, but the choice to have Jim die in that location at that time is a head-scratcher.  I'm sure the writers sent Jim on an extended trip (and off-screen) because of Marlowe's illness.  But Finland seems like a strange choice considering the (then) recently cancelled location shoot.  
    • I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him. 
    • I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.
    • Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much. 
    •   Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year. 
    • Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go. 
    • Good morning, boys!  I figured that it was time that our Gio was introduced into the hotness thread

      @ranger1rg I even included a close up of his face for ya!
    • Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.
    • FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.
    • Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
