B&B: January 2025 Discussion Thread

Finn and Poppy sleeping together is just so dumb and gross. 

Pull the plug on the show 

[I Am A Swede]

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)

Congratulations to Li on becoming a grandmother and getting to resume her favorite hobby of slut-shaming her sister!

There are so many jokes and witty puns about this going through my mind right now... but I'll pass

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

[Rmodelboy]

I hated that too lol

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.

Maybe, but how else is show going to piss off Steffy?

[Maxim]

I think you can write this show better than Bradley Bell ever could

Steffy will chill out and enjoy the meal as soon as Sheila & Luna start badmouthing Brooke & Hope.

 

[BoldRestless]

I don't think she's capable of anything else lol. Bitchy Aunt Li!
