The Bold and the Beautiful – Dec chat

Thanks again to TBATB correspondent Daisy for her recap:

All I Want For Christmas.
Well I have all my teeth, so, Dear Santa,
1. I would like Shedevil gone, promptly and finally. I would be happy for Charlie to accidently shoot her. She is too annoying.
2. Grams gets written out with perhaps a heart attack…no wait…falls from the top floor of the new Spectra building. Or the newly designed elevator plummets, taking Grams with it, but landing on Sol. Why not.
3. Quinn slips from Mateo’s oily grip, and Mateo is exposed as being Shedevil’s pawn. Really, the groundsman fondles your naked wife? BTW, there is a guy coming to clean our windows on Saturday…..🤔
4. Liam goes too far with Sally who has already confessed her interest. Perhaps Sally could buy a new bed and ask Liam to help her try out the inner springs. He does so, just out of generosity but Stephie walks in and rejects their claims of innocence. In Liam’s effort to save the world, he seems stuck on saving the corny, sassy redhead.
5. Stephie finally gives Liam the flick, citing his ridiculous obsession with Sally. Stephie runs to Bill, and Liam realizes he has lost his one and only love. Liam, Liam, Liam. You should have known. I still haven’t given up on Stephie having Bill’s baby. That would make Liam it’s uncle? I think. It does get confusing. But never mind. It will get sent to boarding school at 6 weeks.
6. Sarsha and Zende get forced together and Nicole kidnaps …whatever that baby’s name is. Rick and Maya finally admit they were selfish and asked too much of Nicole.

Oh and my big wish…the Forresters skip their chummy, ski jumper Christmas episode. We know they won’t so my second wish is that they invite Mateo and Sheila. So instead of Charleee shooting Shedevil, she can get electrocuted by the Christmas lights on the Forrester tree as she hides behind it to spy on Quinn.

Now I know I have just written a lot of silly nonsense and haven’t done the show justice. But I still might tick off my wish list as it happens over December because after all Santa, I have been nice not naughty.
Viewers, any requests for Santa? Any predictions for December.
And I was thinking about signature songs. I have one for Arjay; Daddy’s home.
One for Coconut; Keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel.
Ridge; anything from Joe Cocker because it’s in Ridge’s range.
Sheila; Crazy. 😊😊😊😊😊

And my favourite Christmas carol is….you know it….it starts with Please. Yes. Johnny Winter’s Please Come Home for Christmas. 🌲🌲🌲🌲

Where will Ridge hang his Christmas baubles without a permanent address?
Will Mateo be invited to help trim the Forrester tree?
Will it be the discovery of a curly red hair that sends Liam to the dog house?

Sara

For one awful moment I thought Quinn was going to succumb to Mateo! He’s a creepy sod with creepy eyes.. And where does Sheila get $200K from to pay him. Wish she would disappear with her portrait. Bill is such a spiv.reepy

Daisy

Hmmm. Good question. Alimony? She might have learned from Brooke, who recently said that she knew how to come out OK from every divorce.

Daisy

I can’t wait for the Christmas punch.

brain dead dave

We’ve already seen Eric’s Xmas paunch.

Daisy

😂😂😂

brain dead dave

I slept through today’s episode and will try to catch it in the morning. Thanks for the December commentary , daisy.

Hoping that Santa will bring the cast an acting coach for Dec. Although Charlie was good the other day harassing Shedevil about noodle pushing at that snake pit the Forresters go to.

I noticed the theme music for Eric and Quinn is more smoky clarinet now than the Kenny G sax for Wipes and Katy. I thought Quinn would fall for that sleazy masseur but Mateo doesn’t know tequila will bring Quinn literally undone.

Sheila’s $200,000 must be a bluff, she couldn’t have saved it jail.

Liam got his Christmas punch early this year, from his father Bill.

Wasn’t everyone a no show at Eric’s Xmas party last year? That was memorable. All that food went to waste.

Daisy

JUZ! How dare you!

😉

brain dead dave

I did catch up this morning, whether I needed to or not. Missing an episode is a really empty feeling.

Daisy

Ha ha, Dave.
I think Shedevil offered to pay Mateo after she becomes Mrs Eric Forrester. I think Mateo hasn’t considered his odds. His bread can be buttered by a rich old man who made him head of the household shrubbery, or a mad woman living in a pokey hotel room.

He’d be better off buttering up Eric and Quinn.

Daisy

Bill gave his best speech to try and win back Brooke but we were all left dangling waiting for her response. The determined red, watery eyes and pursed lips suggested no, so perhaps it will be yes. Either way, that ring is ugly.

brain dead dave

Bill’s speech was a beauty….but didn’t Brooke dump him three weeks ago?

I suspect Bill is going to be left holding his tower not to mention his ring in his hand.

Daisy

See Juz, that’s what we’d be missing.

brain dead dave

Gee, that’s too bad, Dollar Bill. We got to relive the skimpy lingerie/original dumping scene.

Destiny for Ridge~Divorce for Bill.

Still, I wanted Bill to punch Liam again. He seems hell bent on cuckolding his son. Bill wants maximum damage inflicted.

Daisy

Bill should send Liam a selfie of Stephie and himself doing it. That would be a punch to to gut.

Sara

Won’t be long now until we see Bill and Steffi on the job.

Daisy

Bill is going to take Liam’s big boy pants off and give him a spanking. Liam will soon be going “Waaaaah!” I wonder if Bill will be as forgiving as Eric.

Daisy

Woh, Ridge really insulted Katy. And there was me thinking Ridge was Ridge-didge for Katy.

Sara

Billy boy putting his wotsit where both his sons have been is really a bit sick script writers.

Daisy

Sara, all of their “whotsits” have been in so many whosits that we have lst track of who’s an uncle, nephew or brother.

brain dead dave

Wyatt has currently got his wotsit in Bill’s ex wife’s wotsit.( Kenny G muzak plays)

I’m missing Nicole, Zende and Maya. Not really.

Sara

Katie, Katie, Katie – you really should lock the door, how many times have we told you …

Daisy

She probably thinks “Don’t come a knockin’ if Kenny’s a rockin’.”
I certainly wouldn’t walk in on someone if they were playing Kenny Gee.

brain dead dave

We can see that Quinn isn’t a Kenny G fan. She found Katie’s door , not to mention what else open. People in LA leave their front doors open all the time while fornicating inside, I guess. Great acting from the outraged Quinn.

I think she’ll be dirty on the sniggering Eric for withholding his knowledge of the Kenny G shenanigans.

Mateo should have kept his mouth shut. Nosy ground keeper.

Brooke takes credit for raising RJ into the little creep he is.

Daisy

What CAN’T Matteo do? Next he will tell them that he is a fully qualified gynecologist.

brain dead dave

A Greek gyno~ Dr.Hopontopophous.

Sara

A real creep – and estate manager, gardener, electrician et al

Daisy

Next it will turn out that he can fashion design.

brain dead dave

Mateo can’t spell “Forrester”. He’s already texted the fallout dirt to Shedevil.

Daisy

Oh I lolled at the last scene when Quinn found Wipes with his wotsit in the cookie jar. So to speak.

brain dead dave

Katie will never learn to lock her door.

After Deacon, Sheila have wandered in and caused havoc on previous occasions..

Sara

Really Eric, it’s most unbecoming for a man in your position to discuss family issues with the general help

brain dead dave

Exactly what I thought. Gossiping with the janitor not for the CEO of an international company. Mateo will be in his will before too long.

Daisy

Now I think that ship sailed after Eric installed a massage table, come pap smear table for his pool boy, cum, gardener, cum, masseur, cum elecrtician, cum gynecologist.
I think Eric has reached the stage where he could walk in on Matteo with his head between Quinn’s knees, and Matteo would tell him to wait outside for the results. Eric would apologize and leave.

Daisy

😂😂😂😂😂 Maya to Brooke, “Ending your marriage couldn’t have been easy”. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

brain dead dave

Brooke still loved Bill, it was just the choices he made.( Sounds like something Dr.Phil would say~ ” I don’t think you’re a bad person~ you’ve made some bad, toxic choices”)

So that door is open. After Bill is done with Steffi.

Daisy

Oh yeah, Dr Phil. Brooke just doesn’t want to reward behaviour she doesn’t want. I don’t think ANYONE in B&B has ever broken up with someone with out adding the Whitney Houston line; (big voice) …and I I I will always love you..ooo oo ooo ooo.

Daisy

Wohhh. Eric telling all the family dirty laundry to Matteo. He must think Matteo is also a family councellor. Or a laundress.

Daisy

Matteo can probably paint. Eric should ask him to paint his wife’s portrait again.

Lola

Matteo really is the man for all jobs. Puts the handy in Handy man, “You’re not alone Quinn, I’m here” , as he puts his grubby hands around her.
Maybe Matteo should be installing automatic door locks on Katie’s bungalow.

Xmas wish list for characters to not return in the new year:-
Sheila, Grams, Sol, Darla, Maya, Nicole, RJ, Coconut

Daisy

He puts the HAND in handyman. Not only he’s all ears. But no brain. Why work for a lick and a promise from a penniless crazy woman in a tiny hotel room when you are already working for a gullible tycoon?
I hope you get your Christmas wish Lola. They are all good choices.

Lola

Thanks Daisy. Friday’s episode of B&B was a ripper.

Sara

Oh Pam, your mouth is as big as Charlee, too much gossip about the family. And how does a new waitress get to sit and gossip during her shift. Can’t bear to watch the machinations of Mateo

brain dead dave

Pam was a disappointment how easily she aired dirty Forrester laundry for Sheila’s benefit. Sheila should have been fired for her slack work ethic.

brain dead dave

Eric’s finally realizing that Quinn is crazy (like everyone on this show)~ but he needn’t have barged in on the massage.

Daisy

I was half listening to Days, and tbe Young & The Restless today whilst making Christmas shorts 4 all the grandkids. They sounded dreary.

My sister said the shorts looked like the Von Trapps. 😂

Daisy

OMG B&B is going around in circles. It didn’t take Eric long to turn on Quinn. He knew she was crazy when he married her. And Katy isn’t exactly functional sleeping with her son in law.
And PAM!!!! What are you doing. Go make some lemon bars. And Mateo must be an evil sod. He’s really got the hang of this villainy.

brain dead dave

Surely Mateo will be hung when he leaves his phone lying around, with all those incriminating texts on it. Eric’s good at picking up phones and snooping through them.

Daisy

Brooke!!! When you steal a woman’s husband, you don’t run to her afterwards for tea and sympathy.
Also, when you ran around behind your sister’s back with her husband, even to the point of letting her think she is crazy and driving her to drink, the guy who committed arson isn’t the only devil. You’re no angel.

Other than that, today was pretty myeh. It must have been a day off for Eric, Quinn and Shedevil. The highlight might have been Stephie’s lips which matched Dorothy’s ruby shoes.

brain dead dave

More Kenny G today. Wipes and Katie try to convince each other that they’re “normal”.

Bill’s lawyer is stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Daisy

And then Katy & Wipes laugh off being normal to suggest they are funky. No Wipes, you are a dag, with a sad track record with the ladies.

I am hoping Bill kicks Liam out on the street, not because Bill is a good guy but because Liam is being a fake good guy. He could have said, should have said, ” Dad, it no longer behooves me to live in your house and take your dirty money.

I reckon we will soon hear, “Waaah, waah”, from Liam.
As for Quinn, she really has lost her way. Time to cut her losses I think. Eric doesn’t even look out for her. He should tell her to calm down, and kick Mateo back to trimming the outdoor bushes.

brain dead dave

I can just see Bill fuming~

” Is this the candy assed son I raised that uses words like “behooves”? . Where’s my Scotch?”

Daisy

Wipes stood by Bill because he said, I am beholden to my Dad”.

brain dead dave

I’m beholden to watching part two of today’s Dr.Phil for some parent/child conflict. Yesterday was high voltage viewing.

Wyatt is so desperate to follow in Bill’s footsteps , he’s having sax with his father’s ex wife.

Daisy

Boom. Boom. Dave. Sax with his father’s wife. Wucka, wucka.

Yep, that “oppositional defiant” girl is off to pony camp. She might fall in love with 18 year old ranch hand. The current boyfriend wasn’t too sharp.

Sara

I wonder when Bill’s big seduction will take place – I’m away next week and suspect I will miss it – but look forward to Daisy and Dave commenting! Then Steffi will get pregnant and won’t know whose it is!! Any drama that will distract us from Mateo (he;s no actor) and Sheila. Whenever I go to a physio or chiro I don’t strip down to nothing like Quinn – Mateo is very unprofessional as we know!! Dave, not only is Katie his father’s ex wife, she’s his ex stepmother and Will is a half brother!! Disgoosting!

Daisy

Very disgoosting, Sara.
I was saying, “No Bill. I want payback. I want Liam told to find his own house now. And a new job. I am sure he coild find his inner fashion designer. And Bill could move Wipes into Liam’s ols office, so Katy would sneak in and out, until one day Bill goes, “Where is all that sax playing coming from?”
Of course, Liam wouldn’t be on the street in rags. And eventually he and Bill would probably restore their relationship, but a little bit of arse-kicking would have been fun. Liam did look genuinely scared yesterday.
I am hoping Bill was bluffing and still plans to crack onto Stephie, but that might require Sally Spectra.
I wonder if the writers remind Bill to pull the plug on his architects working for SS. She won’t be happy her golden goose got cooked, well plucked. The cooking might still yet come. And Witchy Poo Grams will have something to say about it too now doubt. sol will say, “Never mind Sally, we don’t need a young tycoon to prop up our company. And Duh-la will say, “What typhoon?”

Sara, have a groovy holiday. Spoil yourself. 😊😊😊😊

brain dead dave

I slept through Liam’s rare convincing performance it seems.

Enjoy your holiday, Sara. We’ll keep you updated on every rivetting moment.

I’m a big fan of saxophone music. This cheap , plastic bilge on B&B just doesn’t pass muster. It’s a new genre~ “sucksaphone”

Sara

Thank you for holiday wishes – I’m only away for four days so have one more day to watch for the seduction – Monday. Today was a load of old cobblers and Liam fell for it hook, line and sinker. I thought Steffi looked particularly unattractive today! I had to look away when Mateo was doing the massage – he’s particularly unpleasant, jumping to Sheila’s command – does she really think she’s going to be the next Mrs Eric after what she apparently did in the past – I’ll have to google it as I have no idea. Wonder if Ch10 closes the programme down for a while over Christmas and New Year. I’ll let you know what I find!

Sara

http://theboldandthebeautiful.wikia.com/wiki/Sheila_Carter
Just found this. Sheila is nuts and has been involved with the family for what seems decades – right down to being Rick’s nanny!

brain dead dave

Pathetic Liam. Bill’s bs speech brought Steffy to tears as well. Isn’t she CEO of the mighty Forrester fashion empire?

Daisy

I hope Eric marries Shedevil. Serves him right, and we can expect the marriage to last no longer than Brooke’s to Bill or Eric’s to Quinn. In fact you could be trapped in a sauna, or caught in a burning building longer than a Forrester marriage.
They would be the only marriages where the wedding might take more time than the marriage.

Sara

Bit of tittle tattle. News.com.au tells me that a young Greek Prince will be appearing on the show – doesn’t explain what part he will play. More interesting is that his aunt Princess Theadora has been a member of the cast for a few years playing that dumb secretary Alison!

Sara

Perhaps the teenage Prince is coming in to play the part of a teenage Will, home from boarding school!

Daisy

Thanks Sara. I never look at spoilers but that’s not a spoiler, just a juicy bit of news. And Princess Theadora! If they are Greek royalty, they must be related to Prince Philip. His history, especially that pertaining to his mother Alice is really interesting. She had a very, very painful life.

brain dead dave

Mateo’s been fired for groping Quinn.

Eric tells Shedevil to butt out about Quinn at the restaurant. “Our marriage is as solid as it’s ever been”, as if that is saying much.

Steffy is very jealous of Sally Spectra Liam and Steffy have swallowed Bill’s speech hook, line and sinker.

Daisy

It sounds like it’s goiing to be a fun episode. Bill is doing everything bar tying Liamm to the railroad line. I suppose that is still to come. Perhaps he willtie SS to the railroad and Liam will rescue her again.

brain dead dave

Mateo has dropped Sheila into it, trying to save his own skin (and his cruisy job at FC) Furious Quinn.

Sheila spends more work time bad mouthing Quinn to Eric. Eric’s had a gutful, he’ll find out about the massage gone wrong soon.

Q Knows about the “portrait” now

brain dead dave

Steffy does a bedroom striptease for Liam to soft piano and strings. No Kenny G for these two.

Sara

So glad that Quinn didn’t succumb to Mateo and that Sheila is in the poo. Again, sitting and chatting with customer, surely as a newby she’s just a junior waitress. Didnt hear music today, just watched subtitles.

Daisy

Wow Sara and Dave. I look forward to it. Shedevil has been trying to get inthe sack. Instead she should be getting the sack. No tips for her I think. I have one. Shedevil, I want you on Dr Phil. How funny that would be.

Mateo can’t possibly save his own bacon, after working for the devil, especially in trying to sedude Quinn. At best, he should be banished to pruning roses. Out of Quinn’s bed and back to the rose bed.

brain dead dave

Mateo’s working for Quinn now. Look out Shedevil. Your crazy portrait won’t be around for long.

Daisy

Mateo: ” I’m a good person, really”. Mateo, accepting an offer of a bribe to seduce your boss’s wife after they have treated you well says you aren’t.

brain dead dave

Mateo~ “I’m a gullible, sleazy, dumb arsed chunk of beefcake who can’t spell “Forrester”, really”

Sara

Ill catch up next week or via here😃 Mateo is revolting, not even good looking except in a Barrbie kind of way.

brain dead dave

Nasty Eric and Quinn set the Shedevil up……unless that was all one fantasy sequence. Entertaining, whatever it as.

The portrait did go over the mantel.

Sara

L
Oh no, portrait over the mantle must have been part of a dream sequence surely!
Hope eric is working with quinn here. God, its so hot and humid in qld.

Daisy

Well we could trick you couldn’t we Sara;
Mateo slept with Shedevil for $200 000. Not really, but yes, the portrait made it into pride of place. Quinn and Eric savoured their revenge like a glass of fine wine, or a Snickers bar on a hot melty day. Eric’s acting that he was acting was excellent. He almost had us fooled.
But in reality, the payback was less of a “bitch” and more of a “Na na na na na”. It wasn’t a very good sting for someone who threw Ivy in the Seine, and kidnapped Liam. Quinn has lost her touch.
It finished at the point where Shedevil realizes she’s been had, so we haven’t yet seen her spin and explode like the Wicked Witch of the West. There might be a few more broken champagne glasses tomorrow arvo.
Or maybe the portrait will do a Dorian Grey.

brain dead dave

At least Sheila got a free martini out of the sting.

Can’t wait to see her meltdown. Didn’t think kindly old Eric went in for this kind of mental cruelty.

Daisy

Perhaps it was Eric’s fault that it was such a lame sting. Here is a better one.
Eric invites Shedevil over. Tells her to go upstairs to his bedroom and wait for him in the bed. Cherrrlee springs out from under the covers and says, “You owe me”. Then she hears voices in the ensuite, and it’s Quinn & Mateo. She calls Eric to say, ” See what I caught”, like cat who kills a bird. Then all the Forresters enter and say, “Surprise. April fool”. Still too lame???

brain dead dave

That’s a show stopper compared to what the writers came up with.

Eric’s acting didn’t help.

“Your psycho portrait” from Q was good.

Cheap step ladders at FC.

Sara

Thank you! I’ll catch up on that episode at the weekend.

Sara

Just thinking. Was the portrait of sheila above the mantle the one she had done recently or was it a previous one that Eric had hidden in the cellar.

brain dead dave

It was the new portrait..Sheila didn’t get to admire it for long.

brain dead dave

If Eric really wanted to hurt Sheila, he could have played some of his insipid jazz piano for her.

Daisy

Now that would have been sweet revenge. Like a woman on First Dates who lets you pay for the meal then says, “Ah nope”.

brain dead dave

Shedevil’s down …..but not out.

Eric can’t force her to leave LA. There’s her job at Il Jardino.

brain dead dave

We don’t know if Mateo is going to be fired yet and lookout for Katie’s purple lingerie in the Kenny G scene. Those awful orange LA tans clash with the underwear, these people are designers, right?

Sheila didn’t get to take her portrait home, wherever that is.

Daisy

Victoria’s Secret probably had a line of “specials” on sale. I hate that cheesy kind of lacy, racy nylon underwear. I prefer Cameron Diaz wears Spiderman briefs. But I guess they don’t do them in the Forrester lingerie range.
My favourite is cotton boy legs so that I can wear them around the house and tell Woolif they are shorts. (Grumble..”Can’t you wear clothes”. Reply, “Don’t you like it?” It’s my new summer suit”.
