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

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

      DAYS: Current&Former actors live video tribute for Drake Hogestyn

      By Wendy · Posted

      Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Alan · Posted

      When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist.

      Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.
