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.

@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.

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.

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...

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

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.

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.

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
