I really need for B&B to step up its game. I can't believe it has been 38 years since the series premiere. I remember how excited I was to be watching a soap from the beginning. It is similar to the recent excitement I had for BTG. 

Someone recently pointed out that B&B is about the fashion industry and has NEVER had a male gay character. How is that even possible and how have I not realized that??? I vividly remember the lesbian characters Karen & Danielle and of course I remember Maya, one of the few trans characters on daytime, but the fact we haven't had ONE male gay character is quite disturbing to me.

I need Brad Bell to have a come to Jesus moment and start writing the show the way it should be.

Brooke embarrassed herself to Ridge today. AGAIN.

She told him to "come home," saying she misses his kisses and lying next to him. She said she knows he feels the same. She topped it off with saying "I still want to be your Logan."

It's all wretched and pukeworthy.

Hope did not use Carter.

Hope and Carter were two vulnerable people who bonded over feeling under-appreciated at FC. Was it a good romantic foundation to get together? No. But Carter was in a position where he promised Hope the world and the end of her problems, and of course she would naturally look at him as her knight-in-shining-armour. They dithered about taking over FC for a few episodes and Carter finally went forward with it. Hope and Carter also constantly reminded each other that there was "no turning back".

Guess what? The man turned back. And in the process, moronically threw the girl in the line of fire he was supposed to protect her from. Between this and the kiss (which, let's be clear, he reciprocated) Hope's misguided illusion of Carter was shattered. The girl had every right to dump his spineless ass, and it's certainly not because he's of no use to her anymore.

What Hope feared the most ended up being a reality, only this time with the added consequences of her being even more of a pariah with the Forresters, and her mother losing her relationship (I mean whatever Brooke is better off without Ridge anyway lol). I only blame Hope for letting herself be swooned by Carter so easily. She conflated Carter's feelings of protection with "love".

I don't think Hope is a victim in this and I don't believe their character's rhetoric of "we had no choice". They could've separated out of FC and built HFTF independently. I do however, believe she is getting the shortest end of the stick out of this situation. Steffy on the other hand continues to somehow pontificate, without interruption or intervention, on morality, ethics, and "tHe LoGaNs" - when she not too long ago has made some moral and ethical transgressions herself.

I felt the same way. It was sooooo cringe. Why in God's name is Brooke still attracted to this man after he's tossed her aside like trash so many times? I really wish BB had the guts to have Brooke FINALLY move on from Ridge and grow as a character once again. KKL deserves sooo much better.

As bad as the takeover story was, Carter "coming home" also felt very...cringe. Why does Carter care so much for these people who treat him over and over as a second banana?

IF this story played out properly, Hope would leave FC and start her own fashion house as a rival.

I haven’t seen it since - Luna was cut loose from Bill’s?  I saw that scene and I saw another day with Sheila and Poppy. 
 

this scene of Brooke begging is pathetic.  They need to keep Slapping Brooke around permanently

      Also, someone knocked over the head (usually in the D Mansion) and imprisoned in the secret tunnel room or whatever it was. I swear that must have happened at least a dozen times the last few years, and each time it drove me crazy!

      5-9   Honestly? There's nothing going on. And yet unlike Y&R, I'm not bored. But I just think that's because of the acting going on as they play the beats in this Liam dying storyline. Well, that and the outfits.   If there's anything I'm liking it's the continued drama of Daphne going after Carter and not letting anyone get in her way. Not Brooke. Not Katie. NO ONE.    And while I love TK in those glasses, I am not here for a Brooke/Ridge/Taylee triangle.    And of course, Luna would try to use this Liam mess to get closer to Finn.   Okay week.

      The acting during those Sarah scenes on Friday was horrific.

      So true. Their hypocrisy is on another level. When Anita called Ted a coward because he used Bill as a fixer, I almost choked on my Ritz. And Dani calling Ted worse than Bill as a husband because Bill never pretended to be a good person? Then why stay with him for decades and continue to kiss up to him, Dani? I was glad when Bill told Anita he wouldn't be her punching bag. Not for me. I can think of 100 other actors who would have smoking hot chemistry with LB. Lindstrom does not. I see zero chemistry. None. Joey isn't sexy or scary.   -- Mona was awesome today. -- Why was Eva playing cards in the back room of the casino? -- Can they make Anita any more sanctimonious and self-righteous? -- Dani said Anita had Ted shook. LOL. Really?       No. But I see what you're trying to do. This is a SOAP OPERA. Characters HAVE to make mistakes and sin and screw up and cheat. That's the deal. I understand the concern that we have 2 leading Black men who have cheated on their wives. I do. But I also understand that this is SOAPS 101. Are we going to hear complaints every time a Black character messes up???

      Gone are the days where at least once every week, a character would pull a gun on someone (Ron you really turned gun violence into a joke on this show)

      Oooooo I like these. I like we are on the same page about Little Brownie Man. And I hope to remember this at the end of June to see how much of it came to pass. I definitely feel that the Eva vs Kat story is about to reaaaally get going.    As for the B/C stories, it's funny you mentioned the Joey/Vanessa/Doug story first. Because out of all of those, it is the only one that has enough structure and build to it that it could keep going as a B story that could eventually climax. I think the only POV we don't have in it is Joey's at this point because Month 2 put in the work to give us Doug's and Vanessa's and they are now circling each other and their relationship. And we still need to know Joey's endgame.   Why we gotta pick on Jacob and Naomi? We need that goody good couple. lol. They talked about how they got together. Mind you, very briefly. But we do need to know a little bit more about both. Something I was hoping we were getting by having them in their own stories....him with the crooked cop, her with the lawsuit...but it didn't turn out as hoped. Hopefully, that won't be the case with June though.   Yeah, I want to see more of THAT Ashley.  I finally had to break down and explain to my manager why I keep laughing every time I see the bottle of Febreze at work. The product placement definitely be working.

      That is a specific example where I would agree with those fans so I would be critical of the execs doing so. I frankly think that "caring" in this regard is not conducive to dialog. Basically you point out its very subjective nature. What is caring to one person might be callous disregard to another. I suggest it is a trap & we fell in it!
