B&B: October 2024 Discussion Thread

Oh yeah! Thorsten has got some back, we just just get to see it as much.

[Gray Bunny]

Good grief Charlie Brown... LOL this show is the absolute worst at subtlety and slowly building up an attraction between two characters. Carter and Hope suddenly all googly-eyed for one another out of nowhere. 

[Maxim]

At this speed of character assassination aka making Hope a senseless wannabe-raging whore... how long till she and Pseudo-King Ridge are caught in a compromising position? It's meant to happen. Bradley's sick modus operandi always repeats itself.

True.

 

Also true. It's why I call out when it does subtlety because the whiplash on this show is crazy sometimes. 

[Fevuh]

I turn it on today and @Maxim is gonna be partially right.   Ridge has to help Taylee fix her broken heart.  Doctor’s orders.  Gonna work through it allllll together.  From the vagina up.   LAWDDDDD

She gonna free more than a chakra 

[bongobong]

I can suspend disbelief for Taylor's broken heat disease, Luna being a serial killer and Sheila coming back from the dead a dozen times but Donna being in a weekly chess club is a bridge too far.

The itching powder that Pam sprinkled on her has IQ enhancing properties, it just took 12 years?    

[Maxim]

Unwatchable drivel.

Watching Liam and Hope is making me have PTSD symptoms - my eyebrow twitches.  They are sooo unnervingly irritating and so vanilla-basic-cringe. Their problems are so fake and their  conversations make me want to drink alcohol.

Liam needs to be killed off. He is dead weight in the show and every time he is around, the show is losing precious seconds they can invest in some different characters/storylines. No offense to Scott Clifton, but Liam's got to go.

Taylor's chakra cleanse will for sure involve penetration at some point. Ridge knows it. Taylor knows it. We know it. Even Brooke knows it. 

So - Brooke better pack. Her time with the designer's done. Bradley's decided this new Taylor deserves 2 pictures in the intro, her chakras cleansed AND Ridge as a consolation price. So, Brooke, babe, pack the 50 dollar bra and panties and go somewhere else. Find some mistake (Cough... Finn... cough... Thomas...) and have fun girl. It's a blessing in disguise.  Move on! 

 

Ugh! 

[ranger1rg]

All of that is true. Poor Brooke.

But still, the STANDOUT MOMENT of the episode -- even more than the chakra bull -- was hearing about Donna at her "weekly chess meeting."

I mean, that is coffee-spitting stuff!

I didn't know they called part-time escort service jobs "weekly chess meetings".

It’s wild to sit down and think how much insanity has occurred here in 2024.

When the year began we were still talking about Eric’s Christmas miracle and his stapler.

Then it was all about how bad Thomas was for Hope.

Then Luna got a hold of Poppy’s mints and that dragged on.

Then out of the blue Sheila attacked Steffy and died. Luckily for us Deacon saw the body had ten toes and Googled “Who is Sugar?”

We also had Deacon marry Sheila, Thomas randomly run off with Paris to Paris (I wonder what her sister Zoe had to say…) and the whole Bill has a family with Poppy and Luna.

We nearly got HINN

Then we had the Il Giradino murders and Luna turning into a psychopath.

Now we have this mess with Taylor taking center stage while Hope and Carter are about to get it on.

YUP. This is the worst year of the entire show in my opinion and I've watched pretty much everything with little exceptions... maybe just 1994 (I hate this year with passion, since it was the Bradley-Bell-turning-Bold-into-circus-season) can rival it... but 1994 still had some amazing stuff in comparison and of course some of the Bill Bell energy still lingering on. 2024 is the first year I'm not even adding to my Bold collection. I don't know if I will care to add these episodes. Not that 2023 was a lot better, but it had a lot less insanity. 

2024 has been insane non stop. None of it builds up, none of it makes sense, none of it matters in the long term. Crash after crash after crash. With every new storyline I say to myself - can it get worse than that? And then we get mints and a rape.... And then I tell myself again - ok, no, this is rock bottom, and Bradley tops his insanity with Sheila in the dungeon, burning the missing-toe-corpse... and on and on and till the Broken heart syndrome... Taylor's blocked chakra and Ridge's curative penis. 

What is next? Sex demon invading Hope's body? Luna being revealed to be a Tesla AI robot? Sheila getting pregnant by Thomas? Brooke finding an anti-ageing potion that makes her 35 again? Taylor's chakra opening to reveal Hunter Tylo's face?  

I really hope that after hitting rock bottom, they can rebuild something in 2025.

But I am also scared... of what's to come.
