B&B: August 2024 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

  • Members

Coming into August (yay!), it does seem like the show is finding its groove and going through one of its good periods aka more than ONE storyline going on. And they are fairly balanced out as well as intriguing. 

 

This rivalry between Katie and Poppy has been...popping. Hehe. Pun intended. Just when it looked like Katie might be getting one over Poppy, Poppy went right ahead and told Bill about her past with Tom and the possibility that he could have been Luna's dad. So...your move, Katie. lol. I guess I'm missed HT in Victoria mode for a long time so it's good to see her mixed it up with another female. 

 

And that filters into the whole murder mystery. Who killed Hollis and Tom? Could it be someone from Poppy's past that we don't know about? Or is there someone on canvas that has a connection to Poppy that we don't know about? Or could Bill had already known before Poppy said anything? it does seem like Justin will be around for a while. Though I would hate to see a Barber being a killer. 

 

The Return of Brooke's Bedroom continues to be goofy fun. And KKL has been looking great. And goodness knows I have enjoyed Steffy rolling her eyes...right into losing her passport. 

 

And now...here comes Will...at last...feels like things are looking up.

I would hope so since at one point she was his father's sister. lol. Respect.

I hope he gets the chance to shine on his own, without the constant comparisons. I know how being always compared to a famous relative can be... hard. I prefer to think of him as Crew Morrow and not someone's son. I am rooting for him to maybe be our first lead gay character... or at least a smart villain that can stir the pot.

The acting standard is not that high, so if he doesn't scream like Poppy and doesn't cry like Finn... I'm good to go. Just needs to reduce the head-movements a bit and maybe a different haircut - and he's good to go.

I'm sure the acting standard isn't high. But one thing that Bell soaps could do...and some ABC shows...was putting newbies with vets. Bonus if they were vets known for their awesome acting. It used to help a newbie grow up quickly. I know it's debatable, but it worked with JM being around HT on Y&R so I feel good about his son being around her now. And DD can bring it as well so it just depends on who he will be orbitting going forward.

Anything above the level of cringe that we had to endure when Finn was mourning Sheila is great by me. I just can't stand wooden-emotionless acting. As an actor myself, it just irks me, seeing the missed opportunities. Crew Morrow, even from his 1-2 scenes, has shown to have potential and even if he is not Al Pacino, he is not Liberty Biberty and he has charisma that will work in the show. Just the head movements - but maybe it's a pet peeve I have. Late Hunter Tylo used to shake her head so much, I would get dizzy watching her.

He wasn't on today's episode.

Today's episode sucked!

Hope having her Finn massage and kisses fantasies.

Seeing rapist Zende.

Luna and Poppi and the ridiculous murders.

So Ridge and Brooke went all the way to Monte Carlo to show a lame video?

That video with various unknowns watching it was soooooo bad!

The show seems so outdated.

It really needs someone to freshen this soap because its not Bradley that will do it.

After more than a year, I decided to binge last week's B&B.

As others have pointed out, the show finally has a few stories going on.

Using the umbrella story of the Tom/Hollis murders made the interactions between Katie/Poppy a lot more interesting. This is the version of Katie (Victoria) I strongly prefer.

It was interesting enough that I'll binge this week's over the weekend.

    • It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.
    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
    • I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.
    • Yeah, I mean I know that the name still pertains. I just laugh at it not now being called Arizona Dust, but, I admit it simply does not have the same ring to it. Above, that is interesting that Arizona had already come up before the crisis. 
    • Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
    • Honestly who's to say Leslie even birthed Eva, I mean she's a liar, I wouldn't believe a word she says about Eva being Ted's(or hers)
    •   1. 11/1/83 cast/set list:  

      Please register in order to view this content

          The "11/2/83" video you posted of Ruth Buzzi's scenes includes Roman and Hope in them, meaning the video you posted is actually 11/1/83, since Roman and Hope aren't in 11/2/83.   2. The video you posted of "11/2/83" has scenes with Roman and Hope. As you can see from my cast/set list, Roman and Hope are not in the 11/2/83 episode (see above note):   4573...11/2/83: Cast: Mickey, Julie, Doug, Maggie, Neil, Don, Marie, Alex, Liz, Andre as Tony, Gwen, Chris, Eugene, Sandy, Letitia, Charlene, Mrs. Whiting, Wanda/Guard, Dave, Delia, Saleslady # 1, Saleslady # 2, Figure in Dark, Raven/animal, Cats/animals, Birds/animals.   2.  11/3/83 :My video collection starts with 11/4/83. so I don't have the 11/1/83 or 11/3/83 video, but in addition to the cast/set list for 11/3/83, here is also the parking clearance call sheet for that day, showing Ruth was not only in the cast/set list but did work that day:     They even had hired the animal trainer and all the animals for the day, so It's sort of a certainty that her scenes were not cut that day, or it would have been a big waste of the budget. 3. As for 11/7/83, I just fast-forwarded through that whole episode myself. Letitia is in it from start to finish. It's her big final episode where she is killed. She starts the episode saying "Eugene, are you there?" In the next act, Marlena shows up and meets Letitia's lion. Later in the episode, Letitia is killed by "Eugene" (the Salem Slasher in a Eugene mask).   So, as we can see from your own post, the 11/2/83 date you have listed on that video is incorrect, since Hope and Roman are in that video but not in the 11/2/83 episode.It seems the dates you have on all your early November 1983 episodes are incorrect.   When you post videos and suggest that my data is incorrect, do you not first compare who is in the scenes and see if that matches who is in the episode? You didn't do that with the "11/2/83" episode, which based on Roman and Hope being in it means that is actually 11/1/83. Best to do something like that first before suggesting my data and research is incorrect.
    • Within the Dupree family, I predict Vernon/Anita will be conflicted about what to do about Bill and his role in the whole Ted/Silk Press Sheila situation... especially since Bill knows where the particular bone about Martin is buried. Dani, Chelsea, and Naomi's reactions to what Bill possibly did isn't hard to guess.. but Hayley's reactions will be interesting to hear.  Especially given her recent pregnancy scare.. she might not be so much on Bill's side, or she'll totally surprise us and be totally on Bill's side.   Either way, I think Martin's secret will be the main focus in May sweeps.. with the fall out of the Eva secret playing out in the background... while the Joey/Vanessa/Doug thing continues to boil/develop.
