B&B: December 2024 Discussion Thread

True. And honestly, all this horniness doesn't do much for me. I think both actors are iincredibly good-looking, but I do not see any sizzling chemistry. When Carter was all over Quinn, they were

. These two, not so much.

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.

[Taoboi]

I agree. I do feel Carter/Hope were too rushed. And definitely not Carter/Quinn.

I haven't been this excited to play an episode of Bold... since 2012... I'm not kidding. I am pressing play on the 16/12/2024 episode right now. They uploaded it on CBS.COM. Heads up to anyone who may be waiting!

So Carter takes over the company only to give the CEO position to Brooke.

Has it not occurred to Katie that Electra(hate that name) pics are AI generated?

 

[ranger1rg]

-- 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.

I agree. Bell doesn't really care about any minority. He just uses them to tap dance for the white folk.

[Maxim]

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.

[Soapsuds]

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!

[ranger1rg]

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???

[bongobong]

100%. I mean Will Levis had his sex tapes leaked this summer and not only did the NFL not bat an eye, Hellman's didn't pull his MAYONNAISE campaign.
