B&B: July 2025 Discussion Thread

[ranger1rg]

-- Steffy actually kissed Liam on the forehead on his way to surgery? In front of her husband? These people are just ridiculous.

-- B&B wins the prize for Worst Operating Room scenes. Did these doctors go to clown school instead of medical school? My favorite moment was at the end of the episode when there was a medical crisis with Luna. How did Li handle it? She screamed "LUNA! LUNA" over and over. Yeah, that'll help.

C'mon when I read the recap where Li was spewing Luna's 'Poppy was a horrible mother' narrative out of literally nowhere, it was obvious where this story was headed.

They have to give Bradley the Soap Razzie Award for all of this for sure. It's laughable at best... depressing at the state of what CBS is allowing to air on their channel at worse.

What's more non-sexual than a kiss on the forehead?

[bongobong]

LMAO, Poppy is awesome. I look forward to everyone blasting her for saying that, then agreeing with the sentiment in a following segment.

Steffy should have watched Li instead of visiting Liam. See you soon Luna!

[Soapsuds]

Yes, she was.

 

The reaction by everyone else was ridiculous.

 

We know Luna isn't dead and is being held by Li like she did Finn. Bradley loves to repeat stories.

 

Liam, the hero? Gag me!

[ranger1rg]

Hope and Steffy crying over Liam is the perfect example of why this show is in the gutter.

[ranger1rg]

-- Yeah, Luna isn't dead. It's all Li does as a doctor.

-- Don Diamont was all kinds of terrible in today's episode. Talk about really terrible scenery chewing accompanied by glycerin tears smeared all over his face.

-- Can someone please get Steffy out of that AWFUL top she's wearing to hide JMW's pregnancy?

Damn. You weren't kidding

Is that what I have to look forward to?

Don Diamont was never this great actor. Remember WJB had him as a pool boy.

DD was never great, but he was usually able to avoid being this bad.

I loved those pool boy days -- he was hot. The guy is still good looking, but the "He's so hot" days are gone. He always looks swollen and stuffed into his clothes.

[Soapsuds]

True on all of it. His acting has never wowed me.

[I Am A Swede]

Two words: better writing!

[Maxim]

This kind of bad... bad acting... fits perfectly with the awful scripts we are subjected to every single day. I would cringe if someone tries to give a spectacular performance... in the state of this drivel. It's a clown show. And I think everyone has embraced it at this point. 

Bold will never ever improve with this head writer. Even if they start shooting the show on Mars or have 1 billion budget. Won't change a thing. Bad writing ruins everything.

Weeelll...not at all boring! lol. Unlike that other Bell show...

 

That said...wOoooow. If you had told me that Steffy would be helping SHEILA of all people, I would have laughed about it. But I do now wonder how they (and Finn) will be after all this drama with Luna. And I feel this week is off to a good start even if the confrontation between Steffy, Luna, and Sheila took days of episodes. I mean, the tension never really let up as the other characters started to realize that something was wrong. 

 

I did want to shake Steffy sometimes cuz...why are we antagonizing the one with the gun? And part of me was giggling at the fact that this whole thing was echoing Sheila vs Steffy in the alley a little bit...and NOW Sheila is on the other foot. And of course, it wrote Luna into a corner again after Brad Bell worked so hard to get her out of that corner in the first place. 

 

But...it was good. I did not at all see Sheila getting shot. And I really didn't see LIAM getting shot. And I did not even see Liam shooting Luna, either! With intent! Cuz if he turns out to NOT die, is that going to be a storyline??? I could see it as self-defense, but I could see why it isn't, either. 

 

Good to see Hope/Carter. I rolled my eyes at Ridge/Taylee. And I enjoyed seeing Katie react to hearing what Will did.

Sidenote...Li and all of that long raven hair. Finger crossed I am getting a hair toss.

 

Again...good week with a lot going on.
