I knew we would see her alive or the ten toes.

This show is a joke!

Pure cheap shock value for ratings that isn't even working. 

Bradley can't let go of Kimberlin Brown because he's a sh!t writer.

Oh and Deacon needs his head examined.

Who's going to call me daddy?

CBS really needs to cancel B&B.

After this fiasco, we can be sure - As long as Bold is alive... Sheila will never die, know that. Bradley is obsessed with her. And not in the good way. At this point she is a Cartoon Network villain. 

So, now what? Steffy will lose Finn to Hope, yawn, the actors have ZERO chemistry and it's a very wrong move, move we've seen him pull 103932 times... This is how he destroys couples and makes them not rootable ever again. In the end there will be NOT ONE rootable character in this soap and this is a death sentence for a show.

I want to say something about this apparent chaotic storywriting. Has Bradley heard of something called pace and build up and dramatic tone and rhythm and engagement.  No. We get 2-3 episodes of A storyline, then this storyline IS NOWHERE TO BE SEEN for... weeks... then we are supposed to get back to it weeks later and be engaged to only then not see anything from it for another week or so. It's making people tune out since they don't know what show they are following. And let's tall about the random CLICK-BAIT dramatic twists he has been cooking up just to get some ratings and hype - FAILED.

In the past weeks he's had an antagonist killed just like that, a rape... just like that... a breakup - just like that and a declaration of war - just like that.

All these things SHOULD HAVE had CHANCE to build up to - even if you are fake KILLING a villain - build it up, if you are making a storyline about rape or mints or whatever - do it in a way that it doesn't seem so random and the characters - assassinated or looking like idiots. Then if you are going to break up a couple - at least give them more struggle and drama before a random marriage proposal and BAM - I'm gone to Paris - breakup... and then declaration of war... after you haven't invested enough drama and substance for at least couple of weeks - IT ALL FEELS FLAT AND stupid and not important.

You can have a declaration of war one second and be best friends the next or the opposite. You can be dead, and then alive in 3 weeks.

This is practically the WORST type of BAD writing and quite frankly - LYING to viewers and treating the viewers like we don't have taste and won't mind you are putting this garbage on our plate.

I truly hope a miracle happens and the show gets back to AT LEAST 2010-2019 level of trash, but watchable.

At this point I'm positive they're not going fo 'shock value' per se, they're going for 'cringe-video-Twitter-virality value'. They take pride in people retweeting them out of cringeness, they probably think that's a sign of cultural relevance. It's shortsighted and it will ultimately drive the show to the ground.

      Dani...and Eva??? And now Ted and Nicole are setting her up for success. These scenes are sooooo giving old school soap when the schemer is being set up for a fall...loving it.    YASSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! He showed up with his FOINE self!!   Oh my Goodness! Kat is really on it today. Wait! Eva is the daughter of one of Leslie's friends who passed away. OH, REALLY? So that cover story might not be just a cover story then...   These Eva vs Silk Press Sheila scenes!!!    Awww...I guess no Vanessa, but at least she was mentioned.

      Terrific ideas -- but would Mike and Nancy's great-grandson bear the last name Dallas?  Yuck.  Any way we could make him a Karr?    And in a similar vein, how could Bill and Martha's granddaughter bear the name Marceau?   I love the idea of continuing the Karr, Marceau, Hillyer, and Drake legacies, but if the new characters do not use the familiar last names, the effort to connect them to the past is rather fruitless.  Just my personal observation.

      It's doubly a shame because one thing Long excelled at was using backstory to enhance the present story. I think that's one reason why Josh and Reva took off the way they did--the early stuff is really good. (Unfortunately, they ruined it by overusing the characters). Imagine if Roger returned to get involved with Alex, and her brother and ex, who used to be dire enemies, came together to oppose him. Instead, Mike was nowhere to be seen and Alan was written out for years. Yes, casting would have been an issue, but when you think about what they wound up with for 15 years...

      I've never been so annoyed to be running late. lol   EVERYONE looks so pretty.   Happy to see Andre and Eva interacting, Mona being there, and happy to see Nicole play matchmaker for Dani. Fingers crossed that FOINE doctor from Nicole's last event pops up.   @kalbir Andre looking like a snack in that tux.

      Also gotta feel sorry for Mona, realizing today that she’s only known Leslie for a few months; she’s going to blame herself for all of this.
