B&B: April 2025 Discussion Thread

SC is a great actor who has been given awful material. He could be written as Bill's successor. But Bill doesn't even act like himself anymore. The show is stuck with making all of its leads Ridge-like.

I totally feel like Liam is played out a million times over, but I don't trust BB to really pull the plug on him. After him, my next wish would be for Ridge to die. He's grown to be such an insufferable a-hole.

If this is the end for Scott Clifton on this show - and I don't buy it, but for the sake of argument - I'd love to see him return as Dillon on General Hospital, especially since his mom, Tracy, is still around, and his half-brother, Ned.

Oh, B&B...lol. 

 

I'm not feeling this Liam dying storyline. The way I rolled my eyes as he tried to get out of bed while Bridget and Grace tried to keep him there. And the secrecy. That said...I did enjoy the Friday coda with Steffy finding out about him dying from Finn as Liam danced with Kelly. But I also enjoyed the look on Bridget's face when Steffy talked to Liam about Luna being Finn's daughter.

 

We know I love seeing Li. I just wish SHE had been the one to have a catfight with Sheila. I know, I know...still looking forward to their next catfight. I don't see any reason she's not in this whole mess.

 

Hehe at Sheila and Luna as this scheme team. 

 

Overall, the week started strong, but (good coda aside) ended on a whimper.

Even when he is dying (if he is) Liam is sooo unsufferable. Sorry, not sorry. I know SC is a good actor, but that's completely lost in Bold. Brad Bell can't work with talented people at this stage of the game. Years ago they could help elevate the material... but circa 2025 - it just doesn't work anymore. The material is so bad that EVEN God himself can't elevate it.

Yeah, I'm watching it now and Clifton cannot elevate trash material. This is bad.

After Steffy cries and sobs for an interminable amount of time, Liam says "I'm not dying! They can do anything nowadays!" while smiling. Jesus, it's just all so awful.

And don't get me started on that knit cap on his head.

 

They'll probably do something like have Steffy wake him to Europe for some "miracle treatment" when JMW goes on her 74th maternity leave.

LOL I was thinking that day that Liam is going to die, we think Liam is dead for a few weeks, and then we get a “shocking” twist that Finn is keeping Liam alive comatose in his basement doing some “experimental” medicine or something.

I love these Forrester fashion shows because they're so eye-rolling.

-- There's Eric touching the showstopper while he says he's tweaking it.

-- There's Ridge announcing Eric as the heart and soul of the company.

-- There's the table in the dressing room to display the perfume and jewelry, for no apparent reason.

-- There's Christine dropping by because every fashion show needs a useless cameo.

-- There's more useless cameos -- Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, showing us they have no acting skills at all.

-- There's Carter beaming because Ridge -- his brother -- mentioned his name.

-- There's Taylor backstage with nothing to do, so they have her walk into other people. Too bad Taylor forgot to do her hair before leaving the house.

-- There's the Forrester runway that's so short it's hilarious.

-- There's the blonde model who sat in the background for the entire show while the makeup artist dabbed at her eyes.

-- There's Brooke getting dolled up by Katie and Donna, of all people -- while the fashion show is in full swing -- for the "revamped showstopper."

-- There's Eric again, saying he likes Taylor but telling Brooke she'll always be the love of his life and his Logan.

-- There are the runway dresses that are nothing special and look like prom gowns off a rack at Kohls.

-- There's the old door locked from the inside to leave us with a ridiculous cliffhanger.

This list is everything we have all been thinking since the start of the show.  Can’t they have a runway set?  The touch ups and running around with jewelry cracks me up every time.  
 

I only saw the locked door part but everything you described is every fashion show.  And definitely Jovani pageant gowns usually.

    • Breakdown writers can pitch stories and obviously they have influence over what is included in the breakdown but MVJ is the final decision maker. It depends on the faith you have in MVJ if you feel Carlivati is going to be a problem. I don't think a throwaway having a book author named after him is a sign he's taken over the show. Most people didn't even catch the reference.
    • Tamara Tunie reading that damn letter is exactly why I wish this show had more experienced actors.

    • Oh wow. After reading your post, I realized that they had "Carl Ivati" in the script AGAIN yesterday June 6.    Eva said she was reading his latest, and Tomas said "Work's been so busy, I haven't had time to get into his new series". Then Eva proceeds to tell him that "the first book is called 'Mercy and Goodness' and it's all about how the couple first met and how they got separated".   She goes on and on about how great it is. And she says she has the book in her hotel room if he wants to borrow it. She says it has twists and turns. And meanwhile Kat is snooping in Eva's room to look for the helmet and gloves, and finds the book and dismisses it as "basic". I saw that whole scene -- but I wasn't paying attention to the name of the author.  And when Tomas said the name, I heard it in his accent so I didn't hear "carlivati".  II was mainly trying to see if the acting had improved with the actor playing Tomas, and I think he has improved somewhat.   I only see it when typed out. So they had several scenes yesterday about a "Carl Ivati" book?  Barf! Well at least Kat had the good sense to dismiss it as "basic". Ron Carlivati wrote the breakdown yesterday!   Featuring himself in it! Addressing to the collective "you" whoever you may be: Some of you, months ago, said Oh Ron is only doing breakdowns.  The story comes from MVJ, so he won't influence things, you said. May 27 started it, with Christopher Dunn breakdown and Lynn Martin script. But they didn't need to continue it June 6 with Carlivati breakdown and Jazmen Darnell Brown script.
    • I was completely lost. But it is wonderful that it exists. I didn't really know Robert Mandan had done soaps...well, besides SOAP.
    • Jack and Jennifer are tired. I just don't care about them when they return. They add nothing to the show.
    • Did they really bring back Jack and Jennifer for Jack to prop up Leo and Jenn to serve as an obstacle to Chad/Cat? Are we sure Ron still isn't in the building?
    • We can only hope that they finally kill off Leo too 
    • We can only hope that maybe the new writers might read this.
