B&B: August 2024 Discussion Thread

[Maxim]

I just watched what I've missed. I am not loving the return of Liam on my screen. I hope it's for a short time. 2024 has been a breath of Liam-free air. One positive in this God Awful year for the show. 

[Jeff]

Ugh.  Thanks for the heads-up about Lameass.  I have to binge watch again, I'm behind…I haven’t seen Fake Taylor yet.

[Maxim]

You are lucky to haven't seen her. You will cringe as hell, my friend. She looks 40is max.

I just came across this Dutch trumpet player doing The Bold & The Beautiful theme by the most recent Daily Dose of Internet video where he pranks the police mimicking sirens:

Nice to see B&B continuing to be so popular globally!  I wish the rest of the American soaps were still, too, producing fun, soapy drama for the global masses.

I'm sure RB will take the early 40s as a compliment. While 'Taylor' always looked younger than her age, I think RB's shorter hair and color makes the transition more jarring.

I'm assuming KA had shorter hair when she started, which is why they gave her that hideous mop. Perhaps, RB objected to that indignation!

They obviously tested a lot of actors for the role. Perhaps, Greenlee and Zach Slater have chemistry? Did TK/RB cross paths on AMC? Honestly, if this puts a stake in Bridge, it's worth it. KKL and DD are my end game.

BTW - TK is only 58! RB is 51/KA 53; JMW is 37 and MA is 35. SORAS really gets strange when parents get de-aged.

[Taoboi]

Not Fake Taylor! lol.

 

KA did have shorter hair when she started. Thus the mop. They did her reintro with so much care so it was not jarring to the audience. So this RB stuff is...a lot.

8-9

 

I gasped. Why? I didn't even realize that we had not touched on the fact that Luna had Tom's backpack since last Friday. lol. The power of Brooke!!! lol. 

 

I admit that I was sorry that the trip is already over. Say what you will about B&B, but at least the characters give the appearance of working. And a business trip...yay!!!

 

But back to the murder mystery...I liked how it was done this week. Luna told RJ (mmmmm those arms!) who ran into Katie who talked to Sheila. Let me say that again...SHEILA. Color me surprised at that. But I enjoyed seeing HT with different scene partners. 

 

And...again...another cliffhanger! Poppy walking in as Katie is talking about her to Bill. And lol at what I said last week about Poppy taking some of Katie's thunder by telling Bill about Tom. But that rivalry continues to give.

Donna is speechless in meeting Danny Romalotti?

Uh....

   Ron Carlivati can't write camp like this.

[Taoboi]

Lol. I believe it. Cuz that next week promo looked all kinds of campy. 

[Soapsuds]

I saw bits and pieces of today's episode. I missed that part.

Didn't their paths cross on YR when Gareis was playing Grace Turner?

[Maxim]

Quite honestly, if I was a bimbo from the valley living with an 80 year old man who has erectile disfunction, I would be speechless in meeting Danny Romalotti too. 

BTW this party is cringe. I am also getting some disgusting vibes... that I'm too scared to even utter. I think Brooke may get lost on the terrace or do something naughty... This is just a 6th sense type of moment. Steffy better keep Finn on a tight leash. Bradley is going somewhere with this glorifying of Brooke. He always does this before Brooke jumps into some taboo sh-t.

 I think it's time Bradley invites Daddy Yankee back for a part 2.

I see two paths from this glorify Brooke period.

Bradley with go on 1 of these routes.

1. Brooke f-cks up, sleeps with someone, bangs Finn, Liam or Thomas or something over the top with hiding it for couple of months, then Ridge finding out, running back to Taylor, before forgiving her, realizing he can't live with her and going back to her in 5 episodes with Taylor left crying.

2. New-Evil-Taylor will come and try to ruin Brooke's happiness. Brooke will be the victim and Taylor will be the witch. Bradley will continue glorifying Brooke, while alienating Taylor's fans more and more. 

I am more inclined to version 2, just by the way New Taylor was written in - staring from the distance behind a bush like a creep. 

 

[Gray Bunny]

But in all seriousness, has anyone heard any BTS gossip about why B&B and Krista Allen parted ways (or she got the boot)?  She was a successful recast -- why waste that? 

[Aback]

Yeah, he'll go for 2.
Brooke doesn't make 'mistakes' anymore.

I'm dying to know...
