B&B: March 2025 Discussion Thread

[I Am A Swede]

Cancel this trash!

It might even be too generous to call it trash. This is worse than trash. I don't think this show can be saved anymore, since we all know that Brad Bell won't step down, and his "writing" is driving it straight to hell.

Can I turn this into a musical?

"Cancel this trash... Trash... Trash...  Trash."

"Did someone say "Trash"?"

"Cancel This Trash, God... Do it...  Now! Now! Now!"

- Now all together!

"Cancel this trash" Loooooord.... "Cancel thiiiiiiis traaaaaaaaaaaaaaash"

This show is completely ridiculous and out of control, but with that being said, I'm team Luna. I cannot stand sanctimonious Steffy or her quack mother Taylor.

By the end of this show... all the actors will have turned into occasional directors, script writers, editors etc... People are probably embarrassed to be on screen in this drivel... and prefer going behind the camera.

I don't wish cancelation on any soap, but B&B needs a complete overhaul. Brad Bell has always had these creative resurgence moments and then it is nothing but drivel until the next resurgence. We've just been subjected to this slump for a really long period of time. 

The fact that not one person brought up that Bill also got Taylor off the hook for shooting him in the back all those years ago is just ridiculous. Steffy, Ridge and Taylor are all hypocrites and those beats should most definitely be played out. He has been the headwriter for almost three decades. Hire a continuity person, like BTG, to help with the lack of follow through on his own storylines. 

What has been done to Brooke is criminal but this rant is over for now.

 

[Maxim]

That's the biggest crime in daytime.

@skiman12082004 Exactly, B&B needs a creative reboot similar to Y&R in 1980ish - when the show expanded to one hour and a lot of actors quit. It was the best thing when they pivoted from the piano playing sad, old drama to the Abbott and Williams families and eventually the Newmans. Tying Jill to the Abbotts and Katherine to the Newmans kept the OG Y&R alive in some manner. And the show was better for it. B&B could easily do the same thing.

[AbcNbc247]

Yeah... what is this nonsense?

And not for nothing, as much as I utterly despise any political climate ever, maybe giving Luna a full pardon for murder, attempted murder, kidnapping, etc. wasn't really the best move, just sayin.

[Maxim]

Giving the serial killer Luna a pardon... pardon me... Is... I think safe to say... The stupidest thing that Bradley Bell has ever written. This is a new low.

At this point it feels like the show is written on autopilot...

[Soapsuds]

I've been saying this for some time now. The show has become repetitive, ridiculous and uninspiring for a long time now. 

[edgeofnik]

B&B's latest Jump-the-Shark moment: Sheila saying Lunacy should be locked in prison. 

The ultimate commentary on the show's writing/direction: when actors like KB and DD are struggling to sell this foolishness. 

On the other hand, it's very easy for JMW since Steffy is the only rational person in this insanity. Oh, and, is TN now an 'under 5' player? Check out how many words he spoke, despite scenes with Lunacy and Steffy specifically asked him questions. 

It's remarkable the heavy lifting the female actors on B&B do to keep it afloat - it's always been this way. It's skewed unlike any other soap.

[Rmodelboy]

You know it's bad when Sheila and Deacon have become hypocrites.

Bell has zapped all of the fun outta of this show by making every character sanctimonious. 

 

[Soapsuds]

Bold really needs a new head writer. Bradley has run out of story ideas, and the ones he comes up with are an embarrassment to the show. Bradley doesn't know how to write for new characters either.
