Yes! even though I don't like Taylor, whenever she was away from all the "Parent trapping", and stupid scenes with Ridge, she was great! Deacon and her was such a missed opportunity, and I'm still bitter about it...

The moment Deacon said Taylor is no Brooke Logan, I peaced out from them 🥴🥴🥴

Yes, you of course!  As much as I understand what you hate about it I also know that on some level it is your show & as such you love it, too.

It is. ❤️ Reminds me of how you stayed with AW till the last very bitter end... as you regularly put it. That's us... soap fans. We are one of the most determined to not let go creatures on the planet. They should study us.

By 2028 I fully expect Thudley to hire Amanda Setton as either Taylor #5 or #6 @Taoboi @Maxim @YRfan23 🤣

Poor KKL is being put under so much brutal expectations. That's just not right. You can't de-age physically a character, but still PRETEND like the character is in her 60s... given birth to a 40 year old daughter... while keeping the OG Brooke the same. I think it's tacky. If this was a younger woman-new character competing with Brooke... it would have been another story... BUT TO pretend that she's Brooke's age... is just... sad to me. KKL still manages to look decades younger, but that is just sick to expect her to maintain this forever. Bradley Bell is doing just that. You can't be in your mid 30s till you are 80.  

Great news. Despite its flaws, B&B is a fun distraction you can watch a few times a week. Love that it kept its half-hour format all these years. Who knows if it would still be on if it went to 1 hour like it was rumoured have to in the mid-90s.

It's odd since it was all about profit to the network.

I knew that B&B wasn’t going anywhere. Congratulations for 3 more years of the Same Old Same Old 

Maybe Brad is like Ken Corday where he feels an honor and a responsibility to carry on a family legacy but he really doesn't have the passion or the talent to see it through.

That is likely as good an explanation as any other.

Though I find the show annoying a lot of the time, I'm glad to see it sticking around. We finally got a new soap! We need to build back the genre. Keeping B&B helps that momentum. 

exactly, I'm only supporting this for the sake of keeping the genre alive. Otherwise B&B is well overdue for cancellation based on writing.

For the love of God, get rid of Brad Bell, bring in a new writing regime, and remove Liam, Hope, Steffy as core characters. Please find something else for Brooke, Taylor and Ridge to do other than an endless triad. 

The sad part is a 30 minute episode of B&B --as trash as it is -- wi keep me awake longer than a full hour of Y&R. The latter is so slow and dry.
