B&B: August 2024 Discussion Thread

[Maxim]

I saw yesterday's episode. 

I kinda liked the party and seeing everyone rocking on... including Steffy who is finally happy and I'm loving her vibe.

Hope is now in single white female territory. Bradley has turned her into an incredibly unlikable character.

Well, that was quick!!! lol. I wasn't expecting Danny and Cricket until at least Wednesday or Thursday. And I liked how the crossover was loosely tied into Brooke's Bedroom. So plausible.

 

But oh Lord Katie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not only confronting Poppy and trying to get through to Bill. But she had the police on speeddial already...complete with search warrant. I hollered. Well, it's nice to see the plot moving.

 

And look!!! Will!!! Not surprised to see him with Liam. And Will is coming along nicely. I suspect post murder mystery...the conflict for Poppy/Bill will come from him.

Today was awesome, Finn dragged Brooke JR for utter filth, it was amazing! 

Wait till Steffy gets ahold of her, RIP HOPE LMAO

B&B is clearly rewriting stories.

I swore that Bill + Li had a wink-wink about the first test guaranteeing that Bill would be Luna's father. If that's the case, why did Bill have so much angst about doing the test again?

Maybe Li actually tampered with the test without Bill's, which isn't surprising considering she's proven to be a horrible person. Li's true colors were revealed the day she intentionally withheld from Steffy that Finn was alive because she saw Liam comforting her. If she rigged the test, she now betrayed the man who saved her life.

I truly hope Luna and Poppy are written out in the near future. Or at least Luna. Poppy I can vibe with her screams and absurd storylines... but Luna... is starting to become one of the most one-dimensional and boring characters in this show's history. Bradley did it again - he invested 0 in someone and then expected us to care.

Have to agree. I've said it before, but she walks through every scene looking like she smells farts. That same stank look is never gone for long LOLOL

Her character is a nothing, and I sure don't care if she's Bill's daughter.

The entire Spencer family at this point is dead weight that Bradley is bored with, doesn't know what to do with. Bill is nowhere near the original character. These days he cries in every episode and is so melodramatic that at times I'm not sure if they are not actually giving him KKL's dialogue. 

Katie is... dead. I'm sorry to say it, but Heather Tom has never looked more bored and more lost in this show than year 2024. I hope her son now gives her more of a meat to play, since the scenes with Poppy are NOT IT and are... I'm sorry but beneath Heather Tom's talent. Reminds me of how they made Susan Flannery have these confrontation scenes with Donna. It was cringe.

They do have a new aged son, but I am in serious doubts Bradley will go anywhere with him other than in a triangle with RJ and Luna for couple of months. We'll see.

 

 

P.S I forgot about Liam. My PTSD about this character probably kicked in. LIAM is dead weight. A character that has NOWHERE to go. I mean, the only storyline they haven't done is Brooke f-cking him. And even that would be boring. KICK HIM OUT! KICK HIM OUT. We are not going back!

The problem with Luna is that she's just not a developed character. She's "perfect" and "amazing" as RJ says, but HOW IS SHE THAT? She has no flaws. She became the #1 intern at FC in like...a day. There's nothing that makes her interesting as a character. The character is just FLAT, and this is 100% the fault of the writing. We're just told we should care about her but not WHY? Why should we care about her? And, it's sad because this soap NEEDS a lot more diversity, and it's great to have Asian actors...but develop the characters! Poppy, too. I don't really know who she is at this point. Crazy? On the up and up? Who the hell knows? Does BB know???

Heather Thom is VERY wasted on this show. Maybe something will happen with Will, but I can see them just writing him flat as well with no real personality.

On the flip side RB does not work for me as Taylor at all. Maybe if she had been a Jessica Forrester recast or something, but she is not giving me any Taylor vibes at all. Might as well be a new character. 

[Soapsuds]

It was the cliffhanger!

Bill was like WTF after the kiss.

Oh and Steffy is going after Hope.

Monday should be good.
