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.

    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
    • Daphnée Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant on Instagram live, 5/5/2025 just concluded, saved here https://www.instagram.com/p/DJSsYb7PDv8/                
    • I really need to see Anita in a scene that isn't with a family member. In fact, I would have preferred that she would have gotten rid of the mob and had a one on one with Leslie to lay down the law with her.  I'm going to say it, Mike Manning has been completely lifeless on this show. Other than people's superficial fondness for him, I don't get what they see in him as an actor. I never saw him on DAYS though. The show had another really strange cut right before the opening credits where it looked like they almost cut off Nicole mid-sentence.  Kat/Eva are carrying this show on their backs. Lock them in for lifetime contracts, I beg.
    • There's a 1980 scene of Victor and Katherine in the Chancellor Estate living room where they went over a contract that would put Victor in charge of Chancellor Industries, but it was rewritten that Katherine brought Victor to Genoa City so he could run Chancellor Industries.
    • Put me in the minority in being happy about Cat not being Abby. After the two adult recasts played tag with the role, it's time for a few years of rest. I have a huge list of things I hate about RC's writing, but that choice was not one of them.
