I wonder how many of those who find Finn/Poppy disgusting because of their familial connection were cheering and thinking that Thomas/Hope was a hot and sexy couple, not caring that they were step-siblings. (Not to mention any of the horrible things Thomas did to her)

Brad Bell is a disgusting piece of [!@#$%^&*]

 

Poppy is a groomer who preyed on her 18 year old VIRGIN nephew whom she was tasked to look after. She was "lonely and looking for a connection" is typical groomer [!@#$%^&*]

and Brad having Finn say he was "of age and adopted" does NOT make it okay. I'm so sick of him using Finn as a way to [!@#$%^&*] on adoption

The writing for that scene was a cringe eye-roll. Hearing Poppy romanticize having sex with teenage Finn was...something.

-- More bad writing? Luna going on about "all the lies" Poppy told her and still continues to tell. I mean, this is the Luna who killed two people.

BTW, what is $Bill's endgame with Luna? For how many years does she have to live with him?

I keep reading the dailies and I'm really confused about Li and Jack's marriage. Li talks about how much she resented Jack because she believed he slept with Poppy 20+ years ago. Was Li being passive-aggressive during those 20+ years? It sure seemed like Li was fine with Jack until the truth about Finn's real parents came to light. Are Jack and Li still legally married?

Of course, none of this makes sense because the entire storyline was made up when Poppy came to town.

While the whole story is gross, at least, it's interesting and totally fits within B&B's usual fare. Finn has been treated as if he's a Ken doll with absolutely no shades of gray or flaws. It's a huge disservice to the actor and character. Finn barely flinched when it was revealed that Steffy slept with $B when she was married to Liam. C'mon! I think this will make the Sinn a far better couple in the long run.

I do feel badly for RP because she's actually made Poppy interesting. Even though she's the same age as TN, she's going to get a lot of really hateful comments.

Side note: I can't wait for Liam's reaction when he hears the truth about Lunacy's dad. His mind may explode!

We'll see how Bradley will write himself out of THIS new mess he created. Is this what he is writing just before a new soap comes to air? Is this all he's got?

@Maxim A: Nothing.

Take out Lunacy and tell me what stories do $B, Will, Electra, Liam, Deacon, Sheila, Li, Poppy and Finn have? You could even add Katie because that Batie potential reunion vanished. They could've at least spent the last few months reconnecting Ivy/Liam - even one scene a week. Think of how rich it would be for Steffy to try to lean on Liam after the Lunacy reveal only to have Ivy blocking that!

Meanwhile, Ridge and Taylee moved in together in a hot minute. Yawn.

The FC takeover is falling flat, which take a lot of effort to do that! Having Brooke yet again show why she's the smartest *Forrester* would breathe new life into that tired FC office.

In the old days, Spectra kept the FC office happenings interesting because the Forresters would unite against a common enemy. The manufactured in-fighting between Steffy and Hope wore out fast and was illogical. Even before the Finn nonsense, why would co-CEO Steffy focus her energy *hoping* HFTF would fail? She wouldn't.

Family dinners could be awkward for Steffy going forward.... Her mother-in-law tried to kill her, and her stepdaughter kidnapped her and put her in a cage. Talk about strained conversations around that dinner table.

      Leslie's fantasy

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Has BTG been using flashbacks much? Of course, as a new show there aren't many f/b worthy moments but I think they can get by w/o having to use/recreate the Leslie reveal scene. What other 'soap' tropes have they employed or ignored so far? We've talked about the lack of traditional cliffhangers with lingering camera shots. They have done a couple of fantasy scenes. Has anyone apart from Dana had talk to themselves scenes? Montages?

      Y&R/B&B/GL Vault Updates

      By DemetriKane · Posted

      Thank You!!! @rsclassicfanforever and to anyone else who contributed to the vaults over the years. I have dipped in/out and gotten my life watching Y&R early years. I never would had the appreciation for characters like Lorie Brooks if not for the Vaults, so again, Thanks.

      B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles

      By BoldKara · Posted

      Another lot of skipped episodes to look forward to when the time comes on Videoland. So annoying. They have skipped so many, especially in  season 15 where they skipped 19 episodes throughout the season. Is it just me or is the vault down? It's like a different error message this time so it's hard to know if it's me this time.

      Hmm, okay.  BTW, my only problem with Kai & the surgery story is where is this guy's family? And, another BTW, I think I may have inadvertently added to that rumor from last year about a male descendant of Justus Ward. You see, that is an idea I could really get behind! Like I would pay to see those scenes. And, true, I did hear it ... [sheepish grin]

      Yes they can. While rare, its not like soaps in the past havent said F that and used flashbacks of a scene even when a recast has been done. OLTL used to do that

      Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

      ALL: Drag/Crossdressing Disguises in Soap Operas?

      By EricMontreal22 · Posted

      Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      Please register in order to view this content

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene 

      Please register in order to view this content

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?
