B&B: January 2025 Discussion Thread

[skiman12082004]

I hated so much seeing Ridge & Taylor all coupled up on today's episode. I truly can't stand Ridge or Steffy. They are the most arrogant pompous characters on the show.

As for what's going on with Luna's paternity, in the very beginning I did suspect Finn. That time Poppy went to see Finn seeking his help, at his house, set off the alarm for me. If he is the father, it will cause a lot of drama on the canvas, which could be a very good thing.

Ridge is just a sugar daddy. He has nothing to offer a woman but his wealth. Just like dear old not dad Eric. Ridge is a loser. He's no prize.

It was always going to be Jack but they could never sign him long-term. Add the fact that RJ and Luna became soooooo boring that horrible rewrites were made.

How many viewers actually care anymore?

I'd take Deacon being Luna's father before Finn.

 All of this is such a filler material that will lead to absolutely nothing

All of sudden they were very close.

Poppy let Finn in.

I tuned in for that eyeroll.  The only interesting thing in this will be Steffy’s face when she finds out the competition isn’t Hope.  It’s Aunt Poppy with her understanding puss. Lolllll

As much as I hate what’s going to happen, I’d definitely appreciate a scene of Hope literally laughing in Steffys face as her “perfect marriage” experiences yet another hurdle…

Steffy to Ridge and Taylor: "You two share such a beautiful history and an epic romance."

Is this bitch putting me on? I cannot WAIT for her marriage to blow up when she finds out who Luna's dad is

I can't wait till Brooke steals her man.  Being outshined by your biggest enemy is a freaking vibe.

And Brooke already done it with her namesake.

Shame on Adam Duservior who wrote today's script.

Also, which is it? In the flashback with Poppy we saw Luna tell her what a good life she had. Yet, she committed multiple murders and a kidnapping because her life was awful. 

The writing by Bradley Bell is just terrible. So many rewrites because none of his stories are catching on with the viewers.

[ranger1rg]

Exactly. And how many times do we have to see a repulsed look on Luna's face when she thinks about Tom being her father?

[Maxim]

And just when I thought 2024 was the worst year of the show... 2025 began.

[BoldRestless]

If anyone knew if Poppy was being inappropriate it would be you.

Also enjoyed Poppy whining how Li was critical of her parenting... gee, you think! She turned out so well.

I know I'm in the minority, but I like the soapiness of Daphne Rose. From her name to her slight snobbiness/fake accent to how she carries herself. And that she's in this manipulation plot. I do wonder if she and Steffy will actually pull it off to break up Hope and Carter. 

 

I'm probably going to be in the minority again with the Li mess. I just love her overdramatic ass. lol. I guess Brad had to get her and Poppy's episode guarantee up. I didn't mind it. And hopefully, that means she and Poppy really will come to a mending of the fences. That said...shame that was basically a filler storyline for the week. 

 

Luna and Bill bonding? Uh oh...

[bongobong]

Nah, gotta give the writers a pass on this one. A crazy person would think contradictory thoughts. And for real, Luna probably did have a good life. Lived in California; wasn't poor; had a flaky but generally nice mom. It's not uncommon for someone that age, even one that's not a nutcase, to play the "poor me" card in hindsight when they begin interacting solely with the wealthy Finnegans and ultra rich Forresters and Spencers.
