B&B: August 2024 Discussion Thread

[Ponds]

It truly is just a horribly written sh*t show!

[edgeofnik]

Yes, Lunacy is cheesy, but it's also very classic Bell Sr. - every 2 years on Y&R - especially 1990s, he'd turn a seemingly *nice* girl psychotic.

Steffy outlined almost every relationship to Luna, but I was kinda hoping to hear:

'Luna, you're my husband's first cousin through his adopted mother's sister, who has been living with Bill Spencer, the father of my first husband and grandfather of my first-born child - and the man I saw you kissing!'

[Boldsoaps]

Yeah I feel like people are complaining too much. The show is trash. And whenever it does something semi entertaining. People still want to whine. Is why the show will never improve. People need to remember this is not prime time at the end of the day.

Then Ally, in the Hope mask, will sleep with Liam and get pregnant

I've decided to just call Luna's split personality...Tuna. Well, one thing I can say for Tuna, she's more interesting than sweet as pie, perfect, beautiful, would never do anything bad Luna. I wonder what the end game to this cheesefest is as of now (before BB changes his mind to something else). I mean, if Tuna did murder two people, there's no way the cops are going to let her walk around town...split personality or not!

In a way, it's kind of sad that we FINALLY get some sort of diversity on this show, and it turns into this. I am kind of excited sanctimonious Steffy will be stuck in a cage for a good bit. But, if Luna/Tuna goes, who are RJ and Will going to fight over? And, we ALL know that's coming!

I wonder if we'll also be told that Tuna was the one that actually slept with Zende, and she planned it. I mean...they did destroy Zende with that storyline though. I'm not sure if even this would fix that.  I thought RJ versus Zende had some potential, and they just went and shot themselves in the foot before that even got started.

@1974mdp A few weeks ago, I called the Lunacy excuse for Zende, which is actually a good thing. Clearly, we'll hear how the alter intentionally took Poppy's mints and she likely drugged Zende, the same way she just drugged Steffy.

With Bill mentioning how Luna should speak to a professional at the same time Taylor announces she's reopening her practice ... but it'll be quite the family conspiracy if Luna actually did kill Tom + Hollis. I expect a twist to get Luna off the hook and keep her on the show. While Luna isn't perfect, it's been over a decade since B&B has had characters in their 20s that mattered.

Wow. It took Steffy until Wednesday to confront Hope. I didn't know whether it shows how invested I've gotten in the show again, or if it's Lloyd Gold writing. LOL.

 

That said I liked that Finn told Steffy. And yeah, Steffy was right. But I didn't like how she was going off on him. Yeah, Finn can be surprisingly naive about people, but that's part of the reason you love him, Steffy. She was low blowing him a little too much for me. I do hope that if Hope is going to be catty about Steffywhen she is not in the room, she will be giving it to Steffy, too. After all, the real reason Hope is into Finn is that she feels he can do better than Steffy. Just own it, Hope. Earn the slap you have coming.

 

I can't believe that the Luna thread vanished after Monday. So far. So is Luna cray cray?

 

I mentally roll my eyes every time I see NuTaylor. But lord, if those writers aren't trying. I just think KA's reintro as NuTaylor was better.

Okay, I'm caught up.  @Maxim like you I have new life for RB's Taylor, she did well in her scenes with KKL.  Someone said Rebecca is at her best when she is bitchy, maybe that is her strong suit.  Hopefully chemistry will fall into place with the other actors.

As for Luna, this some crazy sh!t.

I'm happy that you're happy! I was looking forward to seeing your reaction after I  told you about how much I loved her. Yes, not the Taylor I imagined, but I'll take her. I even showed a clip to my husband and he told me - I prefer this new Taylor, the last one was too funny for my taste. (I DO NOT agree with him

"The role of Bridget Forrester will now be played by Rebecca Budig."

That's what we should have heard. 

Please refresh my memory y'all... last time we saw Krista Allen's Taylor, she and Brooke were basically cool with one another, right?

 

Edited August 26, 2024 by Gray Bunny

[Maxim]

They were not - after months and months of a storyline about being best friends, girl-power and saying f-ck you to nasty men, they had 3 episodes where they fought and screamed at each-other, mostly Brooke... for Emmy reels and that's it.

So what isn’t making sense is where Sheila fits into the Steffy, Luna etc. thing.  Because it always goes back to Sheila and or missing toes, so, how does Brad Bell get there?  She’s the one who does the rescue or Luna is Mary or something?  PS - actress who plays Luna - majorly flat back/no butt.  Wardrobe, watch the pants, looks like she got mashed back there.

@Jeff Angry Finn today! Hot as hell, still pissed that the oatmeal queen put her crusty lips on his lol!
