B&B: April 2025 Discussion Thread

[I Am A Swede]

Brooke had Stephanie to, both figuratively and literally, beat her down on a regular basis, and yes, while Brooke was repeatedly forgiven for her mistakes so was Stephanie. So they were on equal footing, and both had ups and downs, wins and losses.

Steffy doesn't have that kind of adversary. Sheila and Luna are obviously not the kind of grey characters you can root for so having them as opponents only serve to paint Steffy in a better light.

I really don’t understand how the amnesia went on after Hope got almost the entire blame cast on her.  
 

It seemed like it took forever for Hope to say herself - hey dude, this was all your idea.  You had to explain it to me. How you would get them to sign the papers because they trust you so much it would be easy to dupe them.  
 

They still - but I only catch about 10-15 minutes an entire week.  They still haven’t really called Carter out - dude is kind of not redeemable to me now.  This was written so badly that he won’t ever make sense to me.  A shame really.  And the acting - eeeesh. Just like the disbelief by everyone that Brooke planned on getting the company back?  She’s always been loyal to Forrester, and this was also badly done.  
 

Someone please rip Steffy a new one. Slept with Liam and Wyatt just like Hope, she killed her own cousin, stalked Ivy basically - they didn’t do a great job with it but she did kinda stalk the girl.  Almost an accessory to the baby swap. 
 

I do like my idea of - Carter - what a yawner but maybe Daphne can bed Finn or Liam.  She can come up with a scent to cure Liam’s brain mass hahaha

Just kinda there so far this week. 

 

I think for me it's the writing. If you been over at the BTG thread, I said I like slow burns. Story builds. Playing the beats in a story. And technically...I guess they are with the Liam's dying storyline. But it just has that annoying repetitiveness in the writing. But at least it has been slowly getting the news to the other characters.

 

Meh at them trying to get the Brooke/Ridge/Taylee storyline off and running. Brooke deserves so much better. Eric can shut up.

This soccer coverage will be broadcast live in the European evenings,
which is 3-5pm Eastern USA, plus a 2-3pm Eastern prematch show.
Total timeframe: three hours 2-5pm EDT on those four dates.
On CBS only.

BeyondTheGates:
This fully officially preempts BTG in all timezones in USA and Canada.

Y&R and B&B:
On the affected dates, this will partially preempt Y&R and/or B&B
on CBS only in Mountain/Pacific/Alaska timezones.
Because Y&R and B&B air fully in Eastern/Central time, it's not an official preemption,
and those shows will be considered to have aired -- 
so you'd need to watch on another time/channel or online, or you'd miss it.

List of alternate times/channels for Y&R and B&B here:
https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/68719-btg-yr-bb-april-may-2025-soccer-disrupting-cbs-soap-broadcasts/

Y&R and B&B will air normally in Canada and Australia in all timezones.
