Why is Brooke still making puppy dog eyes at Nick if shes really back with her "destiny" Ridge???

My hubby sometimes catches a glimpse of B &B at lunchtime when I watch it ( I record it at 11 and then play it when I want to eat my lunch). He thinks Taylor is foxy.

Your hubby has good taste TiffanyThorne, lol. Taylor is one voulptuous diva, so much better than plastic Brooke whose past her sell-by-date. The only time I don't like "Doc" (Ridge's been calling her that from day 1 in 1991) is when she hooks-up with Rick in 2008 (you'll get the episodes in 2.5 months on Diva TV) & when she continues to throw herself at Ridge later on. She deserves so much better than Tarzan.

My husband says I'm brain dead for watching B&B but he just doesn't get it - it's exactly that point - it's so bad that it's brilliant!

[LaineyT]

Couple of questions...

Why is Eric in the theatre while Stephanie is getting operated on

And if she was shot in the shoulder why are they operating on her stomach


And why hasnt she got a policeman outside her hospital door whiles the killer is still at large

How come top cop Baker never mentioned his dopy son before

The episodes leading up to Stephanie's shooting were very well done. Many characters were motivated enough to be possible suspects, and it was presented much more subtlely and more convincingly than Archie's murder in EastEnders. I hated how in Eastenders many characters were given motives at the very last moment just so they could be considered as the murderer

While I agree with you on some level Tiffany, I've quite enjoyed Archie's murder mystery cos if you think about it, Ronnie, Peggy & Bradley (who only just got involved on the Chrustmas Day ep) have had the highest level of motives for wanting Archie out of the way, well in my book anyway. "Soft-touch" Bradley really let Archie have it when he learnt he raped Stacey & impregnated her. Brooke's confrontation with Stephanie over her involvement in her rape could've been tons better if she lunged at her. Stepahnie's always had the upper hand from day 1 when hurling abuse at Brooke, both physically & emotionally. AND when the battleaxe got shot, I was so hoping they'd show her/Brooke's clasic flashbacks of confronting each other & attacking one another but Bradley Bell & team didn't see fit to show that. I hate to say that the show ill go down drastically from 2008+. The only good scenes/storylines are revolving around the company. I've always said that this show knows how to handle corporate storylines better than ANY other soap but the roamantic goings-on isn't much to keep you hooked. In fact, I forwarded almost every lovey-dovey scene.

Afternoon MarinaC & welcome to the thread. We can never have too many newbies joining us. How long have you been watching B&B & whose your favourite charcter/storylines? What do you love/hate the most about the show & its key players? If you're an old-time viewer like myself, you gotta admit that it's not the same show it once was when Diva TV began airing the eps from late March 2003+ when the channel launched. It's changed A LOT & not in a good way. There's a lot of characters we could do without to spice things up like its heyday but I don't see it happening at all. Brooke & Ridge are the WORST couple by far in Soap Opera history. I LOATHE the sound of their voice. I liked them both up until 2002/03. They were tolerable throughout 2004/early '05 but when Taylor returned from the dead, I just became really irritated by the pair.

Hi Cole Deschanel - thank you for the warm welcome! I have enjoyed reading the threads on DS for some time but never quite had the nerve to join up and post ... until CBS started showing season 6 of Falcon Crest earlier than promised (so we avid fans missed the start). I joined specifically to comment (well, vent my anger if I'm honest) and was really surprised by the kindness of forum members to send me the missed episodes on DVD. As for B&B, I first started watching it on Star World when I lived in Hong Kong between 1996 and 1998 and continued in Beijing from 1998 to 2000. It was about the only decent thing on TV over there and I've been a fan ever since. I only found out that Diva was showing it about 2 years ago so I've missed a huge chunk. (Incidentally, I've just come back from Hong Kong again and Star World don't show it anymore.) I love the program - it's cringeability factor is second to none! One of my favourite characters has always been Taylor but I am stunned by how much she has changed over the years (courtesy I guess of too much plastic surgery). She was stunningly beautiful back then. Brooke drives me to distraction, the complete antithesis of Taylor. I can't do with her destiny rubbish - it wouldn't be so bad if she was consistant but one minute she's married to Eric, then Thorne, then Grant, then Ridge (what 3 times now?) then Nick (and who knows who else in the chunk I missed...!) she has a child (or two) with half the existing cast and Deacon (was she ever married to him?). In most societies she would be locked up but in B&B land she is revered as a goddess?? PLEEZE! Still, it keep us all hooked doesn't it?

[DEACONFAN]

How good has BOLD been these past couple of weeks... Am loving the show right now.

Pammy is so crazee lol. When she introduced Tiny to Donna, cracked me up. Also loved the reveal when she was on the phone to her mum and it was revealed that her mum takes care of her not the other way round!

I am gradually warming to Donna Logan, mostly thanks to the excellant acting by Jennifer.

I think the story line coming up involving Katie and Storm is excellant, the storylines climaxes into a great couple of episodes and I believe these were the shows that BOLD one the daytime Emmy for. CAN'T WAIT!!!

[scorpio20080]

Im so glad the Logans have had an excellent storyline the past few weeks involving the shooting of Stephanie... Storm is an excellant character and William Devry (sp?) who plays him is an excellent actor. The past few episodes were quite creepy with him and Brooke as well when the power was cut of.. You really feel for him, and even though he did commit a crime it was only because he was stressed out.

On another note, my Sky+ box failed me these past few weeks when I was on holiday. I had the sundays omnibus set on series link and for two weeks it did not record. Was bold not on? Ive seen these episodes before involving Stephanie's shooting, but I am confused as to why the series link did not work..

[Shappy]

Can't believe this show is still on - I used to watch it when I was about 14.

Most incestuous show on earth!

[MarinaC]

I know!! The series link does drop off from time to time. Not only did it drop off the omnibus but off the daily episodes too. It happened last year and it was off for some time then. I've caught up using a brilliant site that provides quite detailed updates. I've pasted the link herewith - you might have to tweak the dates back a bit further though as you will have missed the entire week's episodes not just the 2 days I did. http://www.soaps.com/boldandbeautifu...chive/2007-46/

For less detailed updates go to the actual B&B site and select updates under the news tab. Again, link herewith for roughly the dates you missed. http://www.boldandbeautiful.com/inde...398/pid/400320

[mrs.deschanel]

My series link fails sometimes too. Luckily I only record it to forward the awful adverts for plastic housewives or whatever those orange women are.

I'm loving Stephanie trying to manipulate Eric but hating Donna doing the same. She needs to get some mince pies down her quickly. She looks like some boobs on a plastic covered skeleton. Maybe because I'm some boobs on a round thing I'm over sensitive to the way too skinny but she just doesn't look healthy.

At least baby Dominic has returned from his mysterious absence. I wondered where he'd got to.

I agree - did you see her shoulder blades the other day??! By the way are you Mrs Cole Deschanel?

[mrs.deschanel]

Erm no. I chose the name while watching Sunset Beach ages ago and wishing I was Caitlin so I could have a fumble with dimples himself - the real Cole Deschanel. I wonder if the DS Cole is half as gorgeous?

Aha - never seen Sunset Beach so have not heard of the character! Clearly we have 2 SB fans in the DS B&B fan club!

Click here for a pic. He was played by the beautiful Eddie Cibrian, later seen in Invasion, Ugly Betty, CSI Miami, Third Watch and loads more. Cole was played first by George's son, Ashley Hamilton, but Cole was only Cole when Dimples took over the role

Just realised the rhyming in my sentence above, totally unintentional.

Count me as a 3rd SB fan in the B&B thread (as you can probs tell by my username lol). I agree about Cole. For me, it's like how Vanessa Doorman (Caitlin #1) WAS Caitlin. When Kim Haskins took over she completely ruined the role for me

I LOVED Invasion - it's such a shame they didn't make a second series. There was also another series on at about the same time called SURFACE which was equally as good, but that's another one that didn't make it past the first series. By the way what's the Dimples thing all about? Was that a nickname for the Cole character?

[mrs.deschanel]

One of the characters (Aunt Bette) called him Dimples and Caitlin was Beauty although the second Caitlin should have been called Wooden or just Thick.

SB was brilliant - the most cheesy, set wobbly, silly plotlines work of genius ever. Jacqueline from B&B was Caitlins drunken mother who did the nasty with Cole. The stories went on forever. When they did the Poseiden Adventure for a fortnight I thought I'd wet myself laughing. I wish Diva or Hallmark would pick it up and show it from the beginning.

lol @ wooden or thick. I remember the old channel 5 pink forum where we created our own SB nicknames for characters. Can't for the life of me remember any of them. I think lampost would be good for Caitlin #2.
