B&B: December 2024 Discussion Thread

[Maxim]

An idea about the finale of the show... Sheila puts poison in everyone's food at Taylor and Ridge's wedding. Nobody survives except Brooke who is left all alone without a single surviving child, sister etc. Sheila goes to prison... Brooke retires from "high society"... to live out her final few decades of life in a german convent. In the last few scenes we see nuns whispering to each-other in german... with english subtitles... saying - You know who the new one reminds me of? I read about this in the newspaper years and years ago... about this wicked woman that slept with an entire family and she caused them so much misery! She looks just like her. No way... our quiet, modest... Brigita... no way she can be her! You are imagining things. - the other nun replies. Brooke overhears this and just... smiles slightly. A sad, heartbreaking smile. 

The last shot is old Brooke watching from a window... we hear people talking in the garden of the convent and someone says in german "She is such a slut"... about someone else (not Brooke) in the distance. Brooke kisses the little cross on her neck. The theme music of the bold and the beautiful sounds, but in a moody orchestral arrangement...  the camera zooms out to... first the window, then the convent, then the surrounding beautiful fields with sheep and a dog that is chasing them. 

FIN.

LMAO at the scene with Steffy telling off Hope and Carter and storming out. The scene ends with Hope and Carter nodding their heads to each other. I mean, WTF?

Agreed, that the way Brooke was written today was ridiculous.

Believe me, if anybody ever talked to my kid like that, I’d put them through a f*ckin wall. 

[Maxim]

Yes! Yes! Yeeeeeeeees!

She acted like she wanted to basically ignore what happened... Left her child to the wolves... and went home with the vile chauvinist pig only to once again beg him and ask him in a pathetically passive tone - Ridge, let's talk this problem out... let's find a solution.

What solution, you clown? The guy just called your daughter a nasty little bitch and you're going to try to reason with him?! I truly hope this is just a build up for Brooke to unleash on Ridge and bury the Bridge myth once and forever. I truly hope so.

And I pray this is a step towards... writing Ridge off (doubt it knowing Bradley). He needs to go. Him and Liam (who's practically gone thank you Jesus) should go on an airplane together and be last seen somewhere over the Pacific Ocean. 

 

[Maxim]

I can't stop thinking about something... Brooke needs to get back to her old tricks after breaking up with Ridge this time. And you know what I'm thinking... Who needs Finn... that would be a cheap scandal without any consequences... Liam... blah... who needs that...

I know who she should hook up and torment Ridge and Taylor with - Thomas freaking Forrester! Played by a whole new actor. Why I say brand new one, because... at this point I doubt MA will return. I see no signs of it. He's practically gone. 

They should cast someone that KKL has chemistry with... Someone 40ish years old, Ronn Moss-type in appearance! She started the show by marrying the father (Eric)... she should end it by marrying the grandson (Thomas). It will be classic Bradley Bell... and Ridge will sh-t himself in his pants if he has to witness Logan and his son marrying. It will be disgusting, yes, but Bradley Bell's already done it sort of... in 2011.  

I say - why not.

Any idea if the rumors about Matthew Atkinson are true? That he refuses to play shirtless and sexy scenes and that's why he's gone?

[Maxim]

First time I hear these rumors is right here, right now. Never heard this.

Ever. I only based my opinion on the fact that 2024 is pretty much a gone year for him. In Bold... that means you are out most of the time.  

[Rmodelboy]

The one sided writing with Hope and Brooke is painful to watch. Steffy has had an ass whopping coming from Hope for a long time, and Brooke should be raging on Ridge's ass for the comments about Hope. 

[Soapsuds]

Loved Steffy hitting Hope with her shoulder as she left. 

LSV is a terrible actor. His expressions don't match his scenes. They should've recast the role before putting him front and center.

Hope is a hot pathetic blabbering mess. I actually hate her.

He's still in the credits. He's not the only one that's been given the shaft. Did RJ leave town?

[Soapsuds]

Should have said I loved seeing Steffy bump into Hope on her way out of the office.

[ChickenNuggetz92]

For the love of god Hope, please channel your inner Amanda Woodward and relish this moment. Gloat. Rub it in. None of this nonsense about scared and shocked facial expressions. Grin. Be smug.

Watching her and Carter guilt over this and watching her take all the things Ridge and Steffy say to her just sitting down isn’t entertaining at all. Conflicts are far more entertaining when the two parties can dish it as good as they take it.

[BoldRestless]

This, I hate seeing Hope try to grovel and rationalize with Steffy - "oh, I wasn't trying to seduce your husband! I'm sooooo sorry." whereas Steffy would be like "you're damn right I f*cked your husband, because you can't satisfy him!" And Brooke telling Ridge about Hope and Carter's plans, thinking the harpies would give her credit... just no.

[Soapsuds]

I'm sure Brad will pull another stunt with Hope. We will find out Hope was using Carter to get back at Steffy, and all this crying was part of her act.

 

I mean, Carter and Hope have known each other for all of 5 seconds and became an instant couple. It is ridiculous!

[YRfan23]

It’s just so….sickening!!

 I can’t even go into any long rants other then shame on Bradley for ignoring his own shows history, and just continuing this “Logan’s are evil” facade, after everything those MARONE a$$holes have pulled over the years. 
at this point I wouldn’t even know how to fix all this, and I think the shows even more damaged beyond repair at this point. 

Someone on X suggested that Steffy is probably gonna get Liam to make Hope forget about Carter and to get her back out of the company…that’s such a Brad Bell move and it’s predictable…..and in Steffys case because she chased after Liam herself all those years it would be too desperate on her end, although that’s how she is. 
 

sorry I can’t hide my disdain for Steffy, but I don’t mind if you prefer her over hope! lol

[BoldRestless]

Don't get me started... Hope is as much a Forrester as Steffy is. She was raised by one.

 

How does Brooke sit there and listen to Taylor and never mentions how recently Taylor slept with Ridge, and Steffy with Liam?!
