B&B: December 2024 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Give CM a break. He's been given a lot of material - most of it blah - and airtime in a short period of time. I think he's doing a great job. Plus, you know every time HT looks at him, she's flashing back to Y&R!

At least we know why RJ has been missing. And I agree with @dragonflies they should've cast Remy as RJ - he even looks like he could be Ridge's son.

B&B definitely was more interesting when suspense was added this summer with Lunacy, but I don't get why they'd stack Lunacy whining with the Remy climax. Why not spread these stories out?

I have repeatedly said that with the material these people are given... not much acting can save it. But saying that Crew Morrow can act circles around KKL and AN... sounds like a joke without a punchline. It really does. Crew is not even remotely in the league of Annika Noelle. And that is normal. Nobody expects it from him. He's a newbie. He has time to grow.  

That I agree with. He should have been Brooke's gay son that wrecks Ridge's misogyny and homophobia to pieces. It would have been so nice. But...  shoulda woulda coulda...  Bradley Bell will never do it.

Bold is my oldest... toxic relationship.

I am definitely kind of bummed at the prospect of MA being gone as Thomas. He's definitely a decent actor and personally I will miss him, if he is indeed gone. 

B&B is an absolute train wreck and I am out of excuses for Brad Bell. He has a habit of pulling a rabbit out of a hat and making the show fire, when it's been as boring as watching paint dry. However, NOTHING is working for me at all right now.

Brooke is the biggest disappointment. Susan Flannery's Stephanie is missed beyond measure.

I just can't wait for Beyond The Gates.

I watched today’s episode and yeah it was another laugh riot:

1. The warp speed of the stalker storyline involving two newbies. 

2. Will having a montage of his memories with Electra…haven’t they only been together since October?

3. The PSA talk between Katie, Will, Ivy, Carter, and Hope

4. Lunacy. I predict she probably asked someone to beat her up just to play up $Bill’s sympathy. 

In fact after we get through the Electra story I predict we are going to get some weird tawdry Bill/Luna/Will triangle. I feel it in my bones already.

Well when everything else is boring I suppose Thudley & crew decided at least muster up some energy for these spaced out episodes as the show is off again for the next two days until Thursday. So even if both stories are mess it did provide an adequate cliffhanger, for anyone(if there is anyone)that actually cares at least lol.

@soapfan770  Glad you mentioned that ridiculous montage Will had of Electra. They've known each other all of 5 seconds and Bradley is doing a montage of them as a couple.

We all know your bias towards JMW/Steffy but to say Crew is a better actor than KKL or Annika??? What? Come on. 

I'm going to stick up for Laneya Grace - I think she's doing a decent job with her first dramatic scenes.  I see potential with her, especially with her being very young.  And I think Crew does an okay job in his day-to-day scenes - he hasn't done anything dramatic yet.  With Will/Electra being such a good looking couple, it's such a big missed opportunity to have such bad writing for them.

So is Remy falling over?

Electra is dumb as dirt. Why is she hiding instead of screaming bloody murder?

The Ivy and Katie scenes were zzzzzzzzzzzz. Why is Ivy so calm?

Will sucks. Those remote scenes of Will motorcycling around the studio was.

So Dollar Bill is God? The bright heavenly light was a bit much.

Dollar Bill is very gullible.

    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. (did not see Naomi?) -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny or velvet or a textured fabric - I couldn't quite tell, but the jacket color was solid black) Vernon - black turtleneck, white shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black tee, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party but perhaps they arrive later.  The night is yet young.

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.

    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJJTEW8J5EA/ 1989 Daytime Emmys Victoria Wyndham gives moving tribute to Douglas Watson, AW's Mac Cory Harding "Pete" Lemay created the character Mac Cory & then Doug Watson played him for 15 years. When Doug died on May 1st, 1989, it was a huge loss to the show, the other actors & also to the fans.

    • Jonathan Kellerman is definitely the most EON/Slesar-like writer in the business right now.  Unfortunately, he's almost 80 years old.  Interestingly, he has a son (Jesse Kellerman) who's about 45, who's been studying under him.  I believe what makes the Kellermans such effective mystery & crime writers is their background in psychology.  
    • I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...
