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.

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.

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
