Everything was so rushed with their pairing. I don't care for them as a pairing.

Of course the Remy stalking of Aussie girl started at warp speed too.

And dear God Crews Morrow sucks!! He can't act like his father.

-- Yeah, I was rolling my eyes like crazy on that one. Of course, they're still taking days to color in their designs on paper instead of using tablets and computer programs, so that fits.

The fact that they're getting rid of Electra without even talking to her...this show is a laugh riot.

-- Does anyone care that Zende is "sticking with the family" regarding the FC takeover? How edgy that the Black guy doesn't support the Black guy. And Zende is the inside guy who can save the company from the takeover? ZENDE???  LOL

-- Why would FC sink without Eric, Ridge, and Steffy? LOL

-- Carter naming Brooke as CEO just shows he's as big a moron as anyone at that company. Why name someone who's clearly going to bring even more drama to the situation? Because he's an idiot.

Is there any couple besides Steffy and Finn?

 

@ranger1rg

Bradley is not fully committed to the Carter character. Because if he was he wouldn't have made Brooke CEO. He only gave Carter airtime because of Beyond The Gates. Had this soap not happened, Carter would've still been on the backburner.

The last 2 episodes were incredibly boring. Leave it to Bradley Bell and Bold to have a great (for their low standards) few episodes, finally hook you with a Friday cliffhanger... and then have you listen to 2 episodes of nothing, but repeated dialogue from last week. 

Yawn. Why did I expect anything more? For a moment I forgot this is 2024 Bold and any sort of excitement is not gonna last.

B&B's Electra s/l is actually Brad's closest timely 'hit' on a social issue. A bipartisan bill passed to that makes it illegal to post AI/deep fake revenge porn online and requires websites to remove those images within 48 hours.

I don't get is why B&B rushed this story. The initial *shock* about what happened to Electra was enough to give us some background on the character. Remy just popped up, got a job and an apt at Ill Pizza and he's already doing this? So strange. This story could have built over months, including ambiguity over whether Remy was the culprit. It could've been Lunacy!

Brooke as CEO. I've been calling for it for years. Brooke should be a leader with power at FC - preferably with Steffy. That moves also significantly undercuts the Forrester trio BeLief that Carter was going to run it into the ground because he doesn't know fashion. I hope this sticks for a few months.

Now, B&B has one thing left to do: give KKL either the opening or closing shot in the credits. JMcC doesn't deserve to have both. They each should have one. While their tenures are equal, I'm going to be KKL has appeared in far more episodes.

Remy seems like a placeholder until they can realistically find a silly reason to get Luna released and be the heel for Electra & Will.

Chef's kiss for Brooke & Katie berating Ridge's misogyny towards Hope then firing Electra without hearing her side of the story the next day.

The Remy/Electra/Will story is just awful. The storyline sucks. The actors suck.

Katie firing Electra without explaining why was

. Katie did the same thing Steffy did to Hope. Hypocrisy!!

Brooke new and fresh? Now come on Carter!

Bell clearly handled it this way -- intentionally having Brooke and Katie tell Electra nothing about why she was fired -- but it's beyond ridiculous.

You mean to tell me that a female employee in this situation wouldn't deserve to know those photos were out there??? GMAB.

And we're supposed to believe FC can't withstand the gossip of a couple nude photos when everyone at Forrester has already acted an ass and done worse???

    • A kind angel has added both episodes to the vault (UK Diva TV broadcast version). 
    • Yes, I think that is the most likely situation.  TPTB were unhappy with the offer(s) they got from the tourism board in Finland, and decided the trip was going to be too expensive for P&G/NBC to finance alone.   I would also speculate a similar situation likely occurred a few years later with the planned location shoot in Egypt, which was also cancelled after the storyline had already started, and changed to Arizona.

    • In my usual account on my most used video hosting site with the video title  DAYS 1-8-15 Will & Paul Sex This is an edit I began when I was first teaching myself to edit & at that time I couldn't make it do what I wanted it to do. I pulled it up & finished it this morning. 
    • Or Megan is shot as retaliation for Dave's unpaid gambling debts...while Julie confesses she's the biological mother of Special Guest Star Barry Bostwick's little boy.
    • Finland seemed such an odd choice for a location shoot. ATWT went to Greece and later Spain while GL had Tenerife and there were others in that timeframe. But Finland not being a known tourist destination or offering the tropical/sunny atmosphere usually associated with location shoots seems off brand. Maybe they were negotiating a deal with a tourist association and it fell through.
    • I was talking about 1986, but the glimpses of 1982 are about the same. 
    • I skimmed some of the 1982 synopses; Steve was planning on an opening an office in Finland, and I think Jim went there as part of the preparation. That probably was a big issue; AW had already gone to San Diego that year, with Rachel/Steve/Mitch. And to upstate NY with Pete and Diana. I wonder if upstate was as expensive lol  AW in 1982 has always fascinated me, because of how messy it was 
    • That makes sense. What a messy time for the show. And any changes they made were mostly for the worse.
    • The transition from Neal to Adam was very abrupt, and to be honest my theory is that the character of Neal was designed so that we think he is super shady but then it turns out that he was on the side of good all along so Neal could have seamlessly become a hero of the BCPD with no need for Adam. I don't know whether Robert Lupone was hired on a short contract or if he was fired from a longer-term contract because they decided they wanted someone who was more of a leading man type, but I can imagine a scenario where Charles Grant did both the undercover Egyptian treasure/flirt with Victoria and the straighter-arrow day to day police investigation. But in my imagined scenario the MJ prostitution plotline probably doesn't exist and instead he probably continues a relationship with Victoria. The story seems very odd to me. I assume that David Canary would have been included only because a plotline where Steve is going to Finland in which only Rachel is seen in actual Finland seems unlikely. The synopses explicitly mention that Alice can't go with Steve but would whoever was playing Alice at that time have had the kind of clout to get the remote cancelled? It also strikes me as unlikely that production would have approved the expensive location shoot and *then* cancelled it only because of jealousy. It seems more likely that they rejected it because of the expense but then the jealousy part got added to the gossip speculatively, possibly because while it was being worked out they justified not including more castmembers because of the expense.
