B&B: January 2025 Discussion Thread

[edgeofnik]

Luna is spending the 'rest of her sentence' under house arrest at $B's mansion?

Did I miss the part where Luna plead guilty and was sentenced?

I know LA is extremely lax when it comes to justice for victims, but surely two premeditated murders and a kidnapping would warrant a decades-long term.

And, I'm back to reading recaps first before I decide to return to watching.

Luna being out on house arrest makes NO SENSE. But, then DAYS had a serial killer become the shows hero and leading man there for a bit because he was "fine" once he was on "medication."  The story would have been so much better if Luna had turned into a twisted bad girl...short of committing murder. I'm not sure how Bill is eventually going to get her off for two murders. That being said, it's more interesting that another round of Bill and Katie.

Will/Electrified/Remy- Snooze. And, not only were the scenes awkward, Will lets the dude run away without holding him there until the police arrive. I mean...WTH? These three characters together have the IQ of a sponge.

And, then Ivy and Katie talking about AI. While there could be an interesting storyline in there...somewhere...B&B has never done social issues well. Their dialogue sounded like what AI would create if you asked ChatGpt to explain the dangers of deep fakes.

That's what I thought exactly. Like literally THIS. 

Thank you so much darling! All is well, other than I don't want the Holidays to end... I hope you had an amazing New Year too!

Honestly, ChatGPT would do a better job. The dialogue was insipid, made even worse by the round robin "Everyone gets a line" approach. Carter added "That's so messed up." Real CEO stuff from Carter.

Treating your audience like it's 85 years old and tech illiterate is not the way to go.

Might be the worst directed scenes I've watched on this soap. The whole thing screamed "Let's get this over with."

I have to believe this storyline was cut way short. This could not be the original vision. And today Will said "Remy is in custody." Seriously? When we saw him run off yesterday?

 

Aaaaaaand Round 12 of "I'm Taylor and I love being a doormat who wants Ridge back" and "I'm Brooke and I love being treated like trash." We all thought the soaps would bring their best when BTG started, but clearly we were wrong.

Why did B&B feel compelled to show that awful location remote with Electra, Will and Remy again in today's episode??? And what was up with that weird voice dubbing??? I am trying really hard to wait for B&B to turn itself around but it's really getting more and more difficult. 

[1974mdp]

I can't imagine why BB thinks the audience even remotely wants to see another round of Brooke/Ridge/Taylor. At this point, as great of an actor that TK is, kill Ridge off and let everyone finally move on to something else. Not to mention the horrible miscasting of Taylor with RB who looks like she could be Steffy's YOUNGER sister at times!

Coming into January...

 

And not them showing Hollis!!!! Where's @Soapsuds?? 

 

But wow. They actually showed Luna on a day NOT Friday. And B&B having two plots going on again, too. I was shocked. And then the C plot of AI talk. Meh. 

 

I'm kinda sad that the Remy storyline is coming to a head. Yes, it's a little toooo soon, but it's been pretty good. I think the actress is definitely doing great, giving soapy ingenue. The actor playing Remy is doing good which is why I feel the storyline could have gone longer. And Will...is being like his father on Y&R back in the day. I DID roll my eyes at him on a motorcycle though. 

 

Bill getting Luna out of jail. Not surprised because it's a soap. And Bill. But I'm curious to see where that plot can even go. The Luna storyline last year was bat sh@t cray cray, but it was fun soap and allowed the actress to show her range. So I can see why Brad Bell would try to keep her. So again...curious.

@Taoboi

I saw Hollis. It's a shame they got rid of him.

[Taoboi]

With his foine self.

 

But I agree. Such a shame he isn't helping Brooke show Ridge what he's missing. 

[I Am A Swede]

Or showing Brooke what Ridge is lacking.....

Yes, preempted 3 minutes into the show. Right when Luna asked Bill why he was doing this for her...apparently CBS thought the viewers didn't care and they got preempted.

Looks like Luna will be targeting boring frat boy Will. Luna being free is truly absurd. No judge would allow a serial killer who also kidnapped someone else a get out of jail card.

The ending with Brooke was good! She slapped Fake Ridge and pushed Fake Taylor to the floor.

Loved it!! But man oh man why couldn’t have Steffy just followed Taylor over so she could have shoved them both to the floor?? lol
