B&B: November 2024 Discussion Thread

[Aback]

Is it true that Ridge told Carter to go out in the fields and just work??

[ranger1rg]

This week has been bad, but today was the worst.

The show was boring beyond belief, as if someone said "Filler is what we need." As others have stated, the dialogue has no edge, no bite, no substance.

It's hard to care about any of this.

I've stopped watching. I just saw some clips on instagram from today... and looked like Ridge was acting like a jerk to Carter, talking so rude and demanding sh-t... with his pitbull daughter standing next to him ready to bark at any second. Bold is just not worth it at this condition that it is in. Boring Will and Electra are the nail in the coffin for my interest to die completely. If I hear or see something that may interest me... I may tune in, but for now... I'll watch soap classics and wait for BTG.

The amount of coddling that blonde loser gets is off the charts ridiculous

It's hard to believe the way Will has been turned into a complete dork with very little personality beyond "She's so hot."

[soapfan770]

So, according to Luna’s letter she will basically be seen every Friday from now on writing her love letters to Bill. Great! NOT. 
 

 

[ranger1rg]

Yeah, and we're getting teased -- again -- that Bill might have feelings (including sexual) for Luna. I think it's all a fakeout and that the show will not go there.

[Maxim]

Knowing Bradley... she may be pregnant by him in couple of months... This is Bold we are talking about. Bradley thrives on disgusting. 

[Soapsuds]

Will is a bore. Morrow can't act like his dad.

[edgeofnik]

Carter is going to risk both his law license and career to forge a legal document with Hope egging him on. Unbelievable. The two characters that have basically been B&B moral center are conspiring to steal FC. The least they could do is put Brooke in charge.

Unlike the BeLief legal saga, which was so well done, this doesn't hold water at any point.

I could totally buy into the Will/Electra/Stalker story if it was done 6 months from now. Why are they rushing this??? For a relative newbie, CM is doing just fine. Let's compare him to the two Forrester cousins...

I also disliked The Vine, the character. I forgot how much I liked AB. I always though the material didn't serve her well at all. I like the protective aunt vibe with Electra.

Sadly, there's only two available men on B&B - Liam & $B. While she's not blood related to Zende, Thomas and RJ, even B&B wouldn't go there.

The Belief Saga should not even be in the same sentence with this drivel right now. LOL. I agree.

[Maxim]

I remember when weeks ago a lot of people were praising Will's acting abilities. I forgot the actor's name, I'm getting old, and the gin is not forgiving, sorry.  And I felt like the odd one out,  who was not that impressed. Yes, I still find him charming, but maybe for a hair wax commercial. Something's missing. He just stands there and stares and smiles. And the lovey dovey scenes with Electra are undescribably cringe. He doesn't have any chemistry with her. Maybe they'll push her into Bill's dirty bed too, since Bradley doesn't know what to do with any of his new characters. I just don't want to be subjected to the torture of hearing Will and Electra talk to each other. In this show people don't know what subtext is, they constantly either tell each other how beautiful or hot they are and how they love each other or they spew hate at one another like they are cartoon characters.

No play with words. No double meanings. No sarcasm. No irony. No venom. No edge. No wit. No substance.

Flat. Flat. Basic. Flat. Boring. Boring. Flat. Vanilla-safe.

I don't know why I do this to myself and continue watching. I must be a masochist. Cancel this drivel or hire a new head writer!

I watched the episodes I had missed last week, just to see if something may change my mind... about stopping watching this drivel... and No. It's unbearable. And at this point... I am pulling the plug. Not worth my time. I don't even plan on making the monthly topics anymore, since I am not interested in this show anymore. I would be glad... if anyone else could do it...

 Last time I was so disappointed and bored with the show... I didn't watch for years. And I don't think what can bring me in again. Especially now... since BTG is coming on the horizon... and I have my classic Another World... My tolerance for Bradley's drivel has... lowered. I mean... it is quite impossible to watch a Harding Lemay or Donna Swajeski episode of Another World... and then watch 2024 Bold. It's painful. Unbearable.

So yes, guys, I'm tuning out! Again... you can find me in the AW topic probably and in the Off-topic section... but I'm done with this show. I will miss the laughter and the joy we used to have roasting the show, but... I'm done. I'm not supporting Bradley Bell by keeping the attention and the clout about his show... alive. I'm tuning out! Happy watching to all who can still manage to watch it... and again... give me a signal if Brooke does something really bad or scandalous!

Meh.

 

I admit that they almost had me. I thought they would spin Taylee off to a new tale after her talk with Brooke about not needing a man. Instead...more aroma therapy. RME.

 

I do like the charming romance of Will/Electra so far. But alas, I feel that it's moving too fast with the stalker. Not that I dislike the idea of the stalker. But alas...
