Will is awful and so is Electra.

I haven't seen today's episode. I probably won't till Sunday. Can't wait to see Luna's latest bizzare scheme.😂

A few thoughts as I dip into B&B this Christmastime...

1. Does anyone else find Hope (both the character and the actress) intolerable?

2. The stalking of Elektra is incredibly cheesy and dumb. I almost think Brad knows this is a total dud, which is why he's rushing this crap on (and hopefully off) screen.

3. Brooke needs a new man. This Ridge/Taylor triangle feels like the grossest microwaved leftovers and without any chemistry given KKL is the only original of the triangle left and Budig is implausible casting as Taylor.

4. Is Deacon now the B&B equivalent of Y&R's Gina? Hosting people at his restaurant?

  I think that is the most perfect description I've seen.

I also don't understand why Bradley is constantly creating new characters/recasting/ageing old ones... when he clearly has no idea what to do with them. 

Bradley doesn't give a f-ck about Will or Electra and it's quite noticeable. It's almost like he says - maybe I'll try this one day and then the next day he says - No, I'm not interested anymore, let's go back to Ridge leaving Brooke, because that's fresh and I haven't done this in years.

I mean...

To be fair, he has no idea what to do with any of the characters, not just the new/recast/aged up or down...

He doesn't! You are right... But why create new ones that look even more absurd and clownish?  At least the old ones we've gotten used to and know who these people are based on past experience. 

The new ones lack... everything. Bradley does not build sh-t up. He makes them go from 0 to a 100. Why do I care if some bland character named Electra, that is dating the most bland and boring male character that I've watched in my life... is getting stalked by some wanna-be male Sheila? 

Bradley is not doing anything to make us invested in these people. He just expects us to care. Well... I don't. The same way I don't believe that Carter was Ridge's best friend and that Hope and Carter love each-other. We haven't seen anything to care, to be invested, to believe all this.

I personally want Will and Electra gone. They are one step too far in the cringe/bad acting territory. I'm sorry to say this, but these newbies don't have the experience to deal with scripts... that are THAT horrible. They are not JMW, KKL or TK. They can't turn sh-t to gold. I think it should be forbidden to have your first acting steps under Bradley Bell's watch. There should be some kind of law about this in daytime. 

People shouldn't have to suffer through these scripts. 😂

Bradley Bell's reaction to the revolution.... -  writes Ridge picking between Brooke and Taylor again. 😂  Gives us... nothing.

He is. At least until his wife goes insane and kills someone again.

These days all Sheila kills is people's digestion and appetite... With these cheap looking pizzas they are serving at that dump. 🤣🤣🤣

So is Sheila just being benched? No storyline? 
 

It’s so strange to me how the canvas has characters with potential, and the sets are still decent, the lighting is still good…B&B is theoretically an easy fix…but it is really stuck.

Sheila has been basically benched ever since she fake died and returned. Bradley will probably re-ignite her sometime next year for a sweeps fake murder mystery. I cringe thinking what lunacy that would be next.
