Hey Everyone!! I've been very busy lately with getting back to work/school, and planning a wedding, I haven't had much time to blog. The last few weeks have been insane. First, Ronn Moss decides NOT to renew his contract, sighting payroll differences. Then, the queen herself, Susan Flannery opts NOT to renew as well. Instead, she signs a short term contract so Brad Bell has time to give her a proper send off. Look at what's happening. Veterans. People who have been on the show since act 1 scene one are being pushed aside, tossed under the rug. For what??? LEFFY/LOPE!
For the past year, viewers have been forced to watch this train wreck of a triangle. NEWSFLASH...NO ONE LIKES, OR CARES ABOUT THIS TRIANGLE. WE WANT IT DEAD AND GONE! NO ONE WANTS TO SEE BRIDGE/TRIDGE 2.0. We had to deal with that triangle for 20 years. No need to reinvent the wheel.
What THIS viewer would like to see is more stories from the 90s and early 2000s. I mean, I remember a time, tuning into B&B, and you had something called MULTIPLE STORYLINES. It was refreshing. Not only did you see Ridge/Brooke/Taylor..but you also saw other characters like James, Sheila, Thorne and Macy. All in the same show. I guess the whole point of this rant is......UTILIZE ALL CHARACTERS IN THE SHOW, BUT DON'T BASE THEM AROUND THE SAME F**KING STORYLINE. I'm tired of seeing veteran characters demoted to this farce of a triangle. I guess the vets are tired of it as well. Otherwise, they probably wouldn't have opted out of the show.
I know that Ridge's departure will be open ended. So I'm thinking that he'll probably have to handle a crisis at Forrester International. I just don't see them killing Ridge off. Queenie, on the other hand, is a whole other story. Stephanie's cancer fatally return. Towards the end, you see Stephanie trying to get her house in order and give her a grand exit. If BBell wants another emmy nom, I would go that route. Or you could have her go off and spend time with her homegirl, Sally.
I don't know. I've been a faithful viewer of B&B since it's debut. I honestly don't remember a time this show was THIS awful. I understand that Brad Bell wanted to try and hook new viewers with LEFFY/LOPE. He did. My 4th grader was talking with one of her friends about Liam, Hope and Steffy. Since she was off for the summer, she and her mom watched B&B. Congratulations Bell. You gained new, young, viewers. Guess what??? Most of those viewers are back to school now. Get back to good story writing and leave this wanna be Beverly Hills, 90210 type triangle (90210 triangles were much better) alone. JUST GET BACK TO BASICS.
I couldn't agree with you more. So disapointed by the naseaious Lope/Leffy triangle to the point that I started scanning the web for anyone else who was as sick as it as I am!!! Please, start new stories, explore other roads. Thanks for taking the time to blog about it and good luck with all you have going on.
ReplyDeleteYup, it's never been this bad. If I were watching for the first time, rather than having been a loyal fan for 18 years, I wouldn't switch on a second time.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sick of Steffy, Liam and Hope. Know I know that Kathryn Kelley-Lang did renew her contract, so I was maybe thinking when her and "Ridge" come back from the honeymoon that it will be a different Ridge. I think Stephanie's cancer is coming back, we seen early signs of that when Hope cancelled her dinner with Liam to watch over Stephanie. I would like to see more of a story line with Dr. Mead, maybe get involved with Katie (if she and Bill split up). After Stephanie passes, what would be interesting is to see Donna and Pam try to compete against each other to win the affections of Eric. Plus I would love to see the return of Thorne's daughter Alexandria. I'm sure as long as she's been gone, she's probably all grown up, the same with R.J.
