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.

    • Tamara Tunie was serving up grand dame diva fierceness.
    • Nick told Victoria that he and Sharon had married in England.  Victoria was shocked.  Then she realized he was kidding.  He confirmed it was a joke and they're platonic. I don't even know what to say about that.
    • It's funny you say that because part of the entertainment of the trials on the show are all the day players who come on as witnesses and jurors.  I'm certain it was like the Law and Order of its time. It employed so many New York actors, that if you look close enough, there's usually someone vaguely recognizable in the courtroom.
    • I will defend Dante.  People already suspect he may be a bit unstable from time to time (from his time as a prisoner).  And, he's taking care of other people's kids from time to time.  So, he has reason to be cautious with those in his care.
    • Josh continues to try and milk Abbott/Newman rivalry. First it was Billy/Victoria, then Kyle/Summer, then Noah/Allie (that worked out well) and now Kyle/Claire. Do we have any inkling when Billy Flynn will arrive and who he will play? I'm sure Cole's illness will mostly play offscreen. What's in store for Nick and Sharon? Is it time to put them back together? I can't see any other romantic options. Nick has no children on the canvas to play off, as Christian is never seen. Sharon has only Mariah onscreen.
    • I would appreciate (if they're not coming), for future scripts to refer to them by their iconic hairdos.  For example, if Hope needs to call Chelsea because Bo has Sepsis, I'd like Shawn-D to say, "My Mom called Chelsea (the one with the sassy short black hair) for an update." Also, new rule, if Melanie does return, she needs to dye her hair back to red.  I googled who she was five times during Victor's funeral.

    • Broderick, thank you for all of the info [I edited for space]. I am so grateful for everyone filling in the blanks for me. I suspected the Nora/Eliot scene was very important and it was setting something up but I didn't know what. Can't wait to see it play out. The two actors had such a great back and forth. I should have made the Paige/Patty Hearst connection. I thought Paige was in love with Brian from the first episode I watched but it seemed as if they were brother and sister. Steve kept being affectionate with her so I assumed he was the love interest. Then she was affectionate with someone else and well..she's a very busy woman. I can't wait to see Frances Fisher show up. (I'm trying to be vague because I don't know what would be a spoiler in this storyline) Now it makes sense why Draper would be upset. I didn't get the whole background of why he didn't go to NY. I'm a sucker for good acting, so I might still side with April and Margo, if the writers don't give Draper more to do besides yelling.  He had more chemistry with Logan, but I know that's not happening.  Something else I noticed: the show really takes care with even the smallest parts. The acting is superb. Too often, I noticed on older soaps they don't take care with the recurring or day players (Ryan's Hope was so bad with this that I couldn't make it through some episodes). It's only been six episodes, but so far, the casting department was spot on.
    • I thought Dante was overreacting.  Gio made some mistakes but he's young and he tried.  It's not like he dragged two 14 years to a party and made them get blackout drunk.  Dante can have the initial upset reaction, but to go on and on was a bit much.  
    • His (adoptive) nieces.  Chelsea and Stephanie.  I think Abby was involved too, but I am not sure if they are related lol.
    • That was such a dark story. I never liked Swamp girl after that. And then the dating your cousin thing. I think wasn’t Max in a triangle with two of his cousins?
