B&B: September 2024 Discussion Thread

Yikes you’re right! The show is already filled enough with near incest connections already it’s easy to forget. Unless Thudley reveals his “Katie was adopted and never a blood Logan after all” card

No, please, let him not.

Lunacy has been a real pleasure + as I predicted when Zende returned to do Brooke Bedroom, Brad already had a rewrite to undo that awful choice and undeserved injustice to Zende's character. Thank goodness.

Finn turns down Bill's offer to get his people to find Steffy ... so he can go back to the office to have his mother drop by? They're really stretching it so that strong, independent woman Steffy can be rescued by a man. Yuk. Steffy tricks Luna into opening the cage and clocks her. Finn can then rush in. Same SINN reunion, just a better way of reaching it, unless you're stuck in the 1950s.

From the mouths of Babes: Finn putting all the pieces together reminded me of how Charlie announced that Maya was transgendered after some pills fell out of her purse.

I'm not buying the rewrites at all.

They might as well have made all the murders a dream of Poppy. A la Dallas dream season. That way the real story intended was still on the table. 

Again Li hates Poppy so much because she's a whore? I guess she hates Brooke too with a passion. Poppy doesn't even come off as some pill popping whore.

Bradley's writing is just awful. 

RJ, Poppy and Luna have all been a bust.

Haha, It's days like these in soap world, that I do miss a JER style writer...minus the mess that was the last 4 years of Passions. He would definitely make good use of of B&B's campiness if he were still alive, and somehow got to become HW within the last 15 years or so....

Steffy and Hope at this point for me, are kind of in Gwen/Theresa territory....Steffy being Gwen of course and Hope Theresa,especially if Thudley wants to keep making her a colossal screw up.....Maybe Hope will accidentally poison Finn with Guacamole for November sweeps!

Yes, a rewrite garbage!

[AbcNbc247]

Nonsense and yes!

Luna's rewrite makes no sense.

Once again Bradley Bell unintentionally (I don't think he's even capable of being intentional) has send a horrific message to all the viewers, especially the girls. A message that says - a woman can be raped... we can see her being tormented about having sex with a man for months, cry and be in panic mode of the idea that she may be pregnant, to then all of a sudden, rewrite everything and call her a psychotic b-tch that had the best sex of her life. I don't think Bradley knows or understands that A LOT of abusers have this exact defense - that she was crazy, wanting it, enjoyed it. Men use this all the time - calling women borderline or psychotic or manic. 

And all of this is done, because his initial plan was not working and the public was not buying it. He forgot about all the scenes where Luna had flashbacks and was crying. Or are we supposed to be idiots? 

 P.S One thing I should say - I am not saying that a woman can't fake a rape. It does happen. But it didn't happen like that in this case. We saw Luna distressed in her room, ALONE. It's ludicrous to believe what we are being sold right now. It's crazy... It's LUNACY.

The whole show should be called The crazy and the delusional.

All of this reminds me of the stupid - Bill is working with Ridge to take Sheila down  rewrite (while f-cking Sheila multiple times a day, Ooops). And earlier this year...the bizarre Sheila murder-resurrection-Sugar-toe fiasco.

I don't know what is going on, but this show has never been THIS BAD. It used to be a soap about forbidden sex and triangles and repeated boring dialogue (it still has that)... but at least it was similar to what the original Bold was in terms of themes and vibe. 

2024 has been a low budget version of a low budget Lifetime thriller-horror movie.

We had so many cringe moments, from Sheila being stabbed to death in I know what you did last summer montage, to Deacon googling what is Sugar... to the disgusting MINTS storyline... to the TOE reveal in the morgue... to the bizarre serial killer out of nowhere storyline, that was written like a rom-com in parts. And now we have an Orphan sequel...

What is next... Texas Chainsaw Massacre with Taylor being Leatherface and Brooke the victim in some dungeon?

Yikes this sounds like a mess. 

[BoldRestless]

The funniest thing to me is that Steffy was supposed to be at intensive therapy in Monaco because her husband was kissed by another woman, stopped it, and told her right away.

[Maxim]

Maybe Luna is an alternative intensive therapy?

I did notice Steffy was a bit more humbled in this episode.  

[Taoboi]

It won't last.
