Is it me, or is this soap getting worse. I'm so over a lot of the characters on this soap. They need to do something about Brooke and Ridge. The new characters are weak and are going no where. Come on people....get it together.

I hate that damn soap.
I used 2 love it for the fashion shows. When was the last time they had one?!

And the constant partner-trade/incest pisses me off!!! Everyone has a multiple relationship with each other. For instance: Donna is Rick's aunt AND stepmom!

AND WTF with Donna's son?!

I've never watched a day-time soap opera in my life. Thankfully!

okaaayy....

Damn. This must be my lucky day. 2 soap threads?

Yeah, the writing on this one has been going downhill for awhile now. They've clearly run out of ideas.

The whole Brooke/Ridge thing is just tired.
Donna's got a black son that looks the same age as her? LOL!!!!

Everytime he says "Mom" I want 2 scream! (My sister tapes Y&R & B&B everyday). I don't know Y I continue 2 watch... I hate it & just complain!

ButterscotchPimp said:

I KNOW!!!

I have no problem with her having a child, but a child that is about 25 and she's supposed to be in her mid-to-late 30s is just too hard to fathom. I'm tired of them breaking up Stephanie and Eric only to get them back together.

How many people has Eric been with on the show? Hell, he has kids by almost every female on the show!

daPrettyman said:

Remember the time he went after Taylor?

I love this show

I love how one day the twins were 6 and the next they were 16!

No, I don't remember that. I've only been watching this show about 4 or 5 years (I started watching when Brooke was pregnant with Hope). I have been intrigued by this soap since I started watching, but it is pretty bad now.

daPrettyman said:

Eric? What about Brooke!!!! She's been with every man in Ridge's family!

ButterscotchPimp said:

And multiple marriages to some of them!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I know! If they wrote out her character's name it would be Brooke Logan Forrester Forrester Forrester Marone Forrester?

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I once did a "web": If Brooke turned out to be HIV-positive, just about EVERY character on the show'd be infected! U should have seen the amount of arrows (representing partners/children) on that paper!

Brooke has children by Ridge, his Dad, her son-in-law...
Bridget was Hope's sister AND stepmom at one point!
She's also Ridge's sister & stepdaughter, AND tried to sleep with him!
WTF?!

chocolate1 said:

Yeah, that whole Ridge/Bridget storyline a few years back was CREEPY.

i been stop watching that and young and the restless!! Both sux but at least the ydo it in Spanish though!

ButterscotchPimp said:

Very!

sometimes when the soaps are pre-empted by sports or special programming or whatever, they have the phone line you can call to hear the story line. When Taylor had the baby that was biologically Brooke's the phone said

Taylor finally hatched Brookes baby

"hatched" WTF!?

ButterscotchPimp said:

I know. When I figured out all of the children she had, by all of the different men, I said...man she's a slut.

I hope Hope's father comes back and tries to pursue custody of his daughter.

daPrettyman said:

Deacon tried that already. He eventually got custody of his son & left. AFTER Jackie helped him get sober.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

You know, I still don't think that is Brooke's baby. For some reason, I think it is Brooke's mom's baby. Remember when they were trying to do a paternity test, they called this lady (that we now know is Brooke's mom) and she said she was the donor and she didn't want to be contacted?

If you think about it, on a blood test, the baby could show that it was related to Brooke and is "genetically" related to her. Well, if it's Brooke's mom's baby, wouldn't the results say the same? I don't know.

Also, what about the fact that they wrote this crazy ass story line for Taylor. She had, yet, another child taken from her that she "had". The saddest part of all was that Hunter Tylo (the actress) also lost her real-life son around that same time. Man, that's just tragic.

Another thing that bothers me about this soap is that they have so many actors that are on the "payroll" or in the opening credits that NEVER get used. What about Clarke, why isn't he utilized more>? What about Phoebe? These people have a more interesting life than most of the other characters. BTW, when did Clark become such a "flamer"? It was always assumed that he was gay (because he worked in the fashion industry), but come on, the guy used to be pretty butch, now he's just a stereotypical gay character.

daPrettyman said:

I miss Sally!

I stopped watching when Sally died

chocolate1 said:

Yeah, but he doesn't have custody of Hope. I hope he comes back for that. I loved Deacon's character. He was pretty complex and had a lot of issues.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I miss her too. The fights between Sally and Stephanie were GOLDEN!!! Also, the scene where Sally cut Stephanie's hair after Eric left was good, too.

My mom calls Donna "The Manequinn"

thekidsgirl said:

And where was her big tribute?! When Saul died, they practically dedicated a whole show to him!
There was an episode where her son was "on the phone with her" and she's supposedly on a beach somewhere, retired. WTF?!
Why didn't they acknowledge her death?

chocolate1 said:

That's so strange. She was such a great character. Loved her little lip thing. Just loved her so much

daPrettyman said:

Well that's been a main complaint of mine for awhile, and that B&B is limited by the fact that it's only a HALF HOUR SHOW. So they only get to really focus on certain characters/cast members at a time. So 98% of the time it's the Ridge/Brooke show.

I just googled Clark (Daniel McVicar). I don't know if he's gay, but it doesn't look like a stretch for him to be gay:

Remember when she was Rose the prison guard on Y&R? (other thread) She was a great "character".
