B&B: January 2025 Discussion Thread

[Fevuh]

The ick factor for me is Bill/Luna with the thought of Luna riding the Stallion.  Ew.  Ew ew uhhhhhh EW.  
 

He’s gonna tell her something he never even told to “My Katie”?  Huhhh??  
 

and everyone sniffing Daphne is like - JD Vance loves couches weird.  There better be drugs in that scent.  I don’t see the beauty and attraction everyone is feelin’ lol.  She’s - well - a girl with bad French accent?  

[edgeofnik]

Yeah, the whole narrative that Li is a great person and mother is false based on everything we've watched - starting with intentionally letting Steffy suffer needlessly when Li saved him. I've yet to observe Li do anything but berate, lie and conduct multiple unethical medical acts.

It's B&B's gaslighting technique: have the characters tell us repeatedly the exact the opposite of what we saw on screen. Multiple examples over the years.

It's nuts. That entire scene with Bill pouring his sad, gloomy past to Luna in that depressed gravelly voice was beyond embarrassing. The guy needs therapy. And he trusts Luna???

It's another new low for this show. Every time Daphne enters the room, everyone there has to tell her how wonderful and how enchanting she is while behaving as if they're under some spell.

Would this work with someone who was a better actress? Who wasn't a bad actress? PLEASE tell me they're punking us with this mess.

I'm more confused annoyed than ever:

BAD RetCons: Didn't Lunacy used to go on and on about her great childhood? And that Poppy was a wonderful mom despite not having much? Oh and now $B thinks that Poppy was a SFTV and horrible person. What?

 

UNFORGIVEABLE RetCon: $Bill tells Lunacy that he built his empire because of his bad childhood.

I'm calling 100% BS on that because $Bill + Karen each inherited 50% of Spencer Publications from Bill Sr.

We also know that $B and Sr. developed a relationship before he died. Further, in order to get the 50%, $B needed to fulfill Sr.'s wish that $B help Stephanie get revenge on the Forresters.

I absolutely do not understand why $B is being emasculated in this way.

Quite frankly I'm more entertained by reading this topic than watching the show.

Daphne Rose is about as sexy as a colonoscopy 

[Fevuh]

Me three, hated that too and I don’t know why. I liked Holden and Lily on ATWT and they had the adoption not really my Uncle; and Guiding Light I rooted for Jonathan and Tammy kissing almost cousins.  Thomas got creepy and sorry, that kid is creepy too.  Now HEEEEE could grow up to be a serial killer and I’d believe it.  Not BEN on GL - I will never get over that

I am a few episodes behind, but Daphne Rose is AWFUL!!! The character is so ill conceived and they definitely need a stronger actress to play the part. Actually, I am not sure if Meryl Streep could help this mess.

I can't.... I can't.... I'm laughing out loud at 4 in the morning!

Oh, lord. I thought it was rumor. But are they really about to make Finn Luna's father. Cuz...ewwww. Not to say it doesn't make sense with him being adopted...which I forgot about. But it STILL seem too close to home. 

 

Li is going to Li. lol. The irony of the fact that if Finn IS Luna's father...everything she has ever said about Poppy would be true. And just when they had agreed to mend fences.

 

How I feel about Ridge and Taylee is how I see whenever I see Billy and/or Chelesa in scenes together. LINT.

 

But I have noticed that Brooke appears to have upped and vanished. Is KKL on vaca? 

[edgeofnik]

Except that Li allegedly did that after Nozawa Power when Li invited Poppy to live with her (again).

Q: So what changed during those 5 months that got Li to test Tom's liver, jab Jack and tell Poppy she's always hated her?

A: B&B's writing.

Of course, these rewrites only make Li look like a complete bitter B with truly deep and disturbing psychological issues.

Which if William Bell was still alive, she would be a masterpiece.

 

As is...yep. I don't like that just as the sisters finally get along...even more drama. Not even good drama if I'm honest.

 

So boo to Brad's writing.
