Well, week 3 of my returning to watching has definitely paid off.

At least B&B has several different stories going on - not just one story with everyone talking about the same thing.

It's official. B&B is back to its normal self. That Buna kiss was as classic B&B as Brooke modeling lingerie.

Can't wait for that sanctimonious Finn to get knocked off his pedestal when he finds out about Steffy/Liam. If Finn truly cared about Steffy + the family, he'd realize a kiss planted on him isn't worth blowing everything up.

Finn's proper response to Hope: We'll never be alone together again, no texting, no calling, etc. if you make any type of move on me, then I tell Steffy.

RB is a pro. Her scenes were well done, but it's going to take a long time to accept her as Taylor.

I actually watched most of the show today and I totally agree that Rebecca should never have been cast as Taylor.  As others have said, she couldn't possibly be Steffi's mother.  I like the actress, but this is a dire mistake.

She doesn't work as Taylor at all. I had a complete opposite reaction to when Krista came on. Back then, as soon as she came through the door with the foul 20 dollar wig, I was hooked and she WAS Taylor to me. 

This time this is a complete fail.

She is a fine actress, seemed very - if Michelle Bauer were a grown adult.  Not Taylor at all and it looked and sounded like 2 friends talking.  This is not Taylor and I won’t ever remember this Taylor. 

Wasn't it strange when Poppy randomly blurted out to Li, 'And I didn’t alter the paternity test either. I swear!” when they were only talking about the murders? Li never mentioned Lunacy's paternity.

I wasn't watching, but I thought Li collected the samples. How would it have been possible for Poppy to alter them if Li controlled the samples?

I feel like something got messed up in the script. At this point, Jack or Finn have to be the father both for Poppy to hide the truth + Li to alter the test.

My guess is Li lied about Bill being the father. 

Jack has to be Luna's father.

Luna found out months ago before arriving in LA that Jack was her father.

She blocked it out after overhearing Li and Poppy arguing about it.

She developed DID and is the killer.

Luna's alter kissed Bill.

Heard Rebecca Budig talk about 'my grandchildren' onscreen and just about passed out.

Thank God she doesn't have great-grand-children. Maybe the next 40-50 year old recast will! 😂

And her introduction will go like this:

”Hi Steffy, it’s me Taylor Hayes, your mom, Taylor. Dr. Taylor Hayes. I was married to your dad Ridge and I’m also Thomas’ mother. I once had this rivalry with Brooke…”

And when Brooke sees her she will address her like this - I can't believe this. Taylor Hayes. Ridge's ex-wife and mother of Steffy and Thomas, what are you doing here...?

😂

Remember to put spoiler tags when replying to spoilers.  But really, there's no reason to post spoilers in a discussion thread when we have spoiler threads in the spoiler forum.  Please be more careful next time. 

 

Anyway, that Bill/Luna kiss was gross.  I thought with Bill not being Luna's father, they were going to set up a Will/Luna/RJ triangle....guess not.   I hope CBS gives B&B's timeslot to The Gates.  Maybe that will knock some sense into Brad Bell.

“Hello Brooke. Yes it is I Taylor. Dr. Taylor Hayes. I am your arch nemesis. Taylor Hayes. Dr. Taylor Hayes. You remember well that I, Taylor, am Ridge’s ex wife and mother to Steffy and Thomas. We have fought for years endlessly over ridge. I, Taylor, Taylor Hayes am back…”

🤣🤣🤣

Hahhahahahahhah. This is so Bradley Bell-level of cringe. Love it.

Absolutely. I hope this happens... but even if it did, I doubt Bradley is capable of improving. At least... Thank God we haven't heard of the mints and toes now for weeks. 

If they go down the Lunacy path, it will be used to exonerate Zende.

The retcon will be that Luna wasn't under the influence of the mints, it was her alter that *pretended* to be high. If she's capable of kissing the man she thought was her father 2 minutes earlier... I'd be good with this because tarnishing Zende was a big misstep.

Ughh, pathetic re-writes. No respect to fans. Ugh. Sick show. Sick.
