B&B: September 2024 Discussion Thread

[Soapsuds]

I do too.

ESPN has it for the next 12 years. So it won't be coming back to CBS anytime soon.

I have to laugh at how smart they are making Finn look.

I was totally disgusted by the rape, but you know what something about this insane reveal works because the actress has playing Luna is playing a campy psychopath to the T without eating the show, not hamming it up, and despite being absurd it’s still reasonably plausible. 
 

We’ve been complaining about B&B but here in 2024 here we are getting classic Thudley. James E. Reilly and Hogan Scheffer would be proud of such a campy twist. @YRfan23

You know of the three different CBS affiliates I grew up with in the late 80’s, 90’s and into early ‘00 all three always the Jerry Lewis MDA telethon instead on Labor Day weekend so US Open coverage was pre-empted by lots of affiliates running the telethon.

At least back then the four CBS soaps Y&R, ATWT, B&B, and GL use to least have a big cliffhanger right before Labor Day…I seriously remember once each soap ended with a car crash in like 2003

[Soapsuds]

Luna for me isn't believable as this serial killer. Steffy could take her if she'd stop weeping and shouting. Yes, it s very bad camp.

So Li really hates her sister because she's a slut in heat and not because Jack is the father of Luna? Ridiculous!!

The cliffhangers for the CBS soaps were golden during Labor Day break. In 1989, Paul was about to shoot James on ATWT.

THIS.

 

She has been deliciously campy since it has been revealed and I've been loving every minute of it...especially against the overdramatic-ness of JMW as Steffy.

[soapfan770]

Indeed!!

It may be an unpopular opinion and I can definitely understand and respect the frustration and indifference that many of my beloved fellow SON posters have with this story but in my opinion finally for the first time in forever B&B really has given us a twisted tale worth watching….

Forget “Adam” & “Eve” Liam/Quinn captivity, forget Felony Flo, forget Thomas and the doll etc. THIS actually holds my interest 

As for Steffy looking weak heck she’s stronger here in a cage  than last summer and this past spring when she was terrified at the mere sight of Sheila I don’t see an issue here other than Thudley’s wildly inconsistent writing for Steffy even though JMW is playing it perfectly whatever she is given.

I'll take the "rewrite" cause it never sat right with me doing that to Zende. But of course it was originally all to protect Destiny's child RJ. and make Zende look bad

It's not a bad idea (Psycho Luna), but the execution is horrendous. Comical and not in the good way. There is just no way I'm enjoying this WANNABE Orphan sequel. No way. The dialogue is making You on Netflix look like Chekhov's Cherry Orchard. One positive thing for me is that IT'S FINALLY donned on Bradley how bad the Zende rape was... AND it was a rape, no re-write can change that. It was  a HUGE mistake that he's panicked about... 

So now Luna is on her way out... soon there will be no memory of her being on the show... I think that's when he will clean the slate and put the Tridge/Bridge retro storyline in motion. He's been giddy to start it for some time now. Nobody's called Brooke a slut and a whore in a long time. 

 

[soapfan770]

Oh definitely it never once rang true that Zende would do that especially given all of Zende’s history for the past decade.

Maybe RJ and Will can become B&B’s first gay lovers?

They are related by blood, so that would be pretty disturbing and disgusting. 

[dragonflies]

LMAO imagine Bill's reaction to his son being gay, his head would explode 

[Taoboi]

And I just watched the explanation episode and Luna is just campy AND shady. Love it!!! 

 

B&B was overdue one of their goofy 'wind up on THE SOUP' tales and this works. 

 

I love me sum JMW. I feel she's playing it just right and blends perfectly to the campiness that the actress playing Luna is bringing. And there's also something good about us the audience being in on the twist while the characters are not...yet...because it adds a whole other level to the Luna actress's acting. And she's doing that perfectly for me. 

 

Same though I will in the minority on that.

 

And grateful Zende should have been mixing it up with Thomas anyway around that time period, but let me let the mouse go.

[Maxim]

I feel like it's time Ridge get tired of Brooke and...  Taylor... and have a male romance. In my experience... this happens to a lot of men after a certain age. They start experimenting again... and open up hidden rooms in their psyche. And it will be so hilarious having to see Brooke compete with a man for him. Degrading, yes, but Brooke's been degraded to a point of no return... It will be the camp of all camps. But this will never ever happen on a show written by... Bradley Bell. 

[Taoboi]

Hehe. Very.

[Maxim]

I still want to see some hot young masseuse or assistant make Brooke's life a nightmare by seducing her and stealing all her money... slut from the valley style. Nobody believes that Brooke is still in love with Ridge, except Bradley Bell...
