B&B: December 2024 Discussion Thread

[BoldRestless]

Hope you had a lovely Christmas!

[bongobong]

@Maxim Thank you, I hope you're having a wonderful Boxing Day!

Hilarious that RJ wasn't invited to neither the Logan or Forrester gatherings. Maybe he and Li are hooking up on the downlow and ditched Eric's party. Or he spent it with cousin Flo.

I hope today's show opens with Eric telling Ivy & Electra that the party's over so they can come out of their rooms now.

@bongobongIs it any wonder Ivy Forrester is happy about Carter taking over? Good grief.  Even though Ivy and Electra live with Eric and Ridge, did they even meet with Ivy regarding Carter/Hope? Nope. Zende. Were they even mentioned on Christmas Eve? Nope.

This is just awful writing. If Eric asked Ivy to spy for the family, you know she would. While Ivy/Steffy have issues, Ivy knows Eric supports her unconditionally. She wouldn't betray him. It's just weird.

Wouldn't E, R and S get bent out of shape that the *Logans* fired Electra without cause? That's just easy fuel for the fire in this whole story. I simply don't get this.

Only on B&B does one barge into an empty, unlocked dark apartment and venture all the way into the back. I don’t think even D-list horror movie characters are that dumb.

They're not even trying on this show. Does she find a body hanging there or what? We need some shock deaths LOL

[Maxim]

The fact that Brooke texted Ridge that she thinks of him on Christmas, after what he did to her the previous day... proves to me that Ridge and Brooke deserve each-other. They are both incredibly selfish trash human beings and everyone around them suffers in their orbit. That's the fact.

Brooke should have blocked his ass on her phone and never looked back. Then she should have started terrorizing him and his proxies through her CEO position. That would have made me GLUED to my screen. It would have, as @edgeofnik said a day ago, made me relive a little bit of BeLief's glory. A little bit, but enough to make me care.

But no... we have to watch this incredibly disappointing weak type of woman-gaslit-to-death-turned-into-pushover that in 2024 exists only in Bradley Bell's universe. Nobody in this day and age, especially if you are a successful rich b-tch, acts like Brooke did. 

If they don't turn this around after the Holidays... to Brooke getting her revenge... I don't see any hope for this show. I am not about to watch Brooke beg Ridge to pick her for the 38th year in a row. I'm done. 

[Soapsuds]

The stalking story of Electra started and came to a climax at warp speed.

I rolled my eyes at Hope chastising Ridge for swapping lovers so quickly. Hypocrite!!

Has there ever been a bigger pick-me girl than Brooke? Just disgusting.

[Maxim]

Disgusting, especially given the context of this chauvinist pig calling her child a worthless slut and a nasty bitch days ago... and the same pig running to his ex less than 24 hours after he and Brooke had a fight.  Brooke Logan needs to seriously re-think her priorities. Like. NOW.

I hope this is just a Holidays moment and after New Years... the storyline turns into the BeLief from the dollar store- revenge type of thingy.  I would hate if they missed this opportunity. Finally Bridge has enough drama to break-up for good and Brooke has enough reason to become vengeful - something, she is actually good at.

I'm thinking we're not going to get that. We should, but then again, we should have gotten that years ago.

[Maxim]

You are probably right... Sadly. 

Knowing Bradley this will probably be a recycle of Ridge is preparing to marry Taylor while parallel to this Brooke is fighting with time to get Carter to sign the company back before Ridge marries Taylor.

It could go two ways.

1. Brooke succeeds. Ridge realizes she worked for his interest and leaves Taylor at the altar. Steffy starts getting nervous tics. Taylor's chakra breaks into little pieces and she suffers a cardiac arrest. They bury her very very deep so she can't dig herself back up next time. She will... of course... return some day played by in her late 20s actress.

2. It will be too late and Brooke will run to their wedding with the papers that are getting him his company back... Only to see Taylor and Ridge married already.  Brooke cries horribly. Brooke gets emotionally unstable and starts getting panic attacks that look like medical emergencies.  Hope calls Finn to help Brooke who has fainted. When Brooke opens her eyes she sees the handsome doctor and an idea comes in her head. Maybe this is her destiny. All hell breaks lose from this moment on.

12/20

 

Ridge I see continues to be #$%.

[ranger1rg]

-- Bradley is screwing up this Remy storyline, too. Am I the only one who thinks this is moving far too quickly? No way should Remy have been caught already.

-- The "executives" at Forrester have to be the dumbest bast@rds alive. It took WILL to tell them Electra's photo was AI??? And don't get me started on firing someone and not giving her a reason.

-- That's "Will To The Rescue On A Motorcycle" in the previews for next week? JFC.

[Maxim]

Cringe. Will is Brad's biggest fail of 2024.

[I Am A Swede]

And considering the state this show is in that is really saying something.
