B&B: December 2024 Discussion Thread

[Taoboi]

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'm getting heavy sexual assault vibes from this Remy/Electra story. Not sure how long the actor is contracted for but I hope I'm wrong 

 

 

[edgeofnik]

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.

[Maxim]

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.

[ranger1rg]

I'm ready to pre-order.

Daytime is sooooo ripe for peeling back the curtain.

[Maxim]

It's time someone did a Blake-Lively on Daytime. We need to hear what happened.  

[ranger1rg]

I. Am. Down.

12-23

 

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.

Updated opening. Why do I get the feeling SC might be next to be gone

 

 

[Maxim]

If Liam is gone off the opening... I will open a champagne. 

[dragonflies]
