So what do you think about Katherine, Thorsten, Jack and John getting the nod to go to Italy? What do you think will transpire in the story for Brooke, Ridge, Nick and Eric? Do you like when B&B goes abroad? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
#Yawn. Yeah, not gonna bother watching. Haven’t watched since the end of 2023. The show is and continues to be a shell if its former self.
Please put those losers Brooke and fake ridge together and put this bullshit to bed
I agree with Kay. We all realize that when the boy cries wolf too many times, no one believe him, right? I cannot be bothered by Ridge and Brooke and if they find their way back to each other. If their love is true, then long by now, the two would have settled all their contrived issues of separation and found peace. I refuse to be as dumb and addled as these characters. I do not watch B&B anymore, but as a fan of the daytime drama genre, I follow along news Michael Fairman shares on this great site.
Maybe they can find and bring back Thomas.
Amen to that! Bring back Matt Atkinson!!
I am really tired of the back-and-forth between Brook and Ridge. Also tiresome our flashback of their past “destiny”
All of the “flashbacks” take up half of the 18 minute episodes, along with the scenic vistas of Malibu, Pacific Coast Highway, and mansions in BH and Bel Air, so really each episode is basically 10 minutes of dialogue and possible drama. It doesn’t work today. I am much more interested in 8 episode streaming arcs that film here in the States or abroad.
If you feel bad about B&B, then simply watch Y&R for contrast.
Y&R has become so boring that it is depressing to watch now.
They need to bring back Matt Atkinson as Thomas and reunite him with Annika Noelles Hope Thope4ever ThopeReunited TeamThope
