B&B: December 2024 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

She really has been benched. Which is why I was happy to see that she seems to quickly be becoming friends with Remy, and it felt like her 'psycho' senses were slooooooowly going off observing him. And I hoped she might catch on. But if they are rushing the story (I haven't started watching this week episodes yet) already...perhaps it will be nothing.

 

I agree. B&B...like Y&R BITD...had a reputation of seeing if a story is not working, quickly taking a turn or ending it outright. So it should be easy fixes and yet...*shrugs* 

IKR!!! How the mighty have fallen.

I don't get the acceleration of the Remy reveal. Why has Will been the one pushing for answers and not Ivy? That's completely illogical. Ivy is not only her aunt, but also her boss. Ivy's just been like OK Electra got fired. Um, I thought Ivy needed a skilled assistant to successfully launch the jewelry line. So Ivy's lost her assistant and is completely blase about it? Stupid! 

Remy is a goner after he snapped back at presumably Deacon about never cleaning the grill again. Why bring him on, get him at job/apt at Ill Pizza Shack only to write him off. This is weird.

Meanwhile, we have to listen to Luna whine that she's being mistreated in prison. Honey, ask Tom, Hollis and Steffy how they feel. Watch Finn/Steffy welcome Luna back to the family, while Sheila is a forever pariah. Maybe Sheila will save Electra. Perhaps, Eric will thank her as Steffy rolls her eyes.

One last thing: the French singer asks for Brooke. Instead of saying Brooke, as CEO is taking meetings with anybody, the response is Brooke is at *home* taking care of things. WTH? So unbelievably bad writing.

The frustrating part is that all of the above stuff could be somewhat compelling with a few tweaks in the writing.

Spot on, as usual. I have nothing to add. I just love I'm not the only one that thinks all of this. Especially the last part about Brooke - she is the disappointment of 2024. I can't root for this woman anymore, if she'll act like this.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks the Remy/Electra storyline is being rushed like crazy.

You know what's worse than a bad storyline? Rushing a bad storyline. I appreciate it when soaps make course corrections based on what they see or on audience feedback, but BOLD takes that to new heights. What's happening with Remy is nuts.

BOLD does this with stories and with actors/characters. Krista Allen pissed off someone? Gone. Joshua Hoffman as RJ? Gone. Matthew Atkinson? Gone. Darrin Brooks as Wyatt? Gone.

I'm still waiting for Krista Allen to write a Tell All. Getting the boot after a fresh Emmy nomination and being invited to a cast photo... is something I want to read more about. The dynamics and the situations that led to all of this. I have my version in my mind, of course, but would love to read it from the woman herself. That's just a dream of mine, she's not obliged to do it of course, Krista doesn't owe us anything.

I just... have these scenes in my mind.

Like I said...Ridge ain't @#$!. He stood there in Brooke's face and wanted to go off on her when he was just playing kissy-face with Taylee. Oh the reveal of that was delicious. The only thing missing was Brooke slapping the taste out of his mouth.

 

I wonder how long this Zende double agent storyline will go on.

    • I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him. 
    • I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.
    • Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much. 
    •   Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year. 
    • Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go. 
    • Good morning, boys!  I figured that it was time that our Gio was introduced into the hotness thread

    • Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.
    • FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.
    • Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
