Daisy’s Bold & Beautiful chat – July

Over to Daisy (thank you) …
The Bold and the Beautiful is doing my head in, and yours too, judging from your comments. The devastating effects of Dollar Bill’s trickery and his attempts to pull the wheels off Liam and Stephie’s marriage have finally began to unfold and be exposed, as we now have a united and tentatively loved up couple bonding over sleepless nights and baby poo, but an abandoned Hope, shipwrecked on the lonely island of jilted brides. It’s an island she knows well, and it’s staffed by her mother, urging her to build a raft, or a pirate ship and push back out into the unpredictable sea of love to fight for her man, with whom she is, according to Brooke, destined to be.

New intern, Emma, gets to poke her nose into Hope’s love life.

Don’t sit back and enjoy the marital bliss between Stephie and Liam. Bill is not going to accept defeat, nor remain in the crucible of thwarted devilry. He will soon be spinning his web of evil over Liam and Stephie again, but will Wipes once again be his willing dupe? Will Justin assist him again with gritted teeth and a concerned frown? In my opininon, it’s time for Bill to turn to Brooke for assistance in tearing down Stephie and Liam’s little family nest. Not that I want Bill to succeed. I am enjoying Brooke’s defeat too much. I wish I could tell you that Brooke will have to remain with the egg of defeat on her face, but we all know that won’t happen. Ridge’s happy head cocking to one side as he salivates over his daughter’s victory, won’t last long either. Will his and Brooke’s marriage crack and crumble like a beautiful meringue?

Maya and Pam discuss what’s best for Stephie, Hope and Liam.

Meanwhile, the rest of the cast have been in the wings, awaiting their turn to return with some juicy nail-biting story lines. I am hoping for a return of Quidge to be the sledge hammer that cracks Bridge.
It seems I am too full of dramatic analogy today; like a writer for Mills and Boone. It may be the caffeine I had this morning. Readers, I will leave you with this thought; are you able to endure the tempest of Forrester/Spencer romance, heartbreak, wrath, plotting and fleeting joy for the month of July? You know I am not one for spoilers but I will tell you this; as I have previously mentioned, have heard that the iddy biddy detective will get a bigger part. Take that as you will.
Auf wiedersehen lovers. 💖💖💖💖

Daisy’s Bold and the Beautiful chat – June

I am having to slap my own face again, to remind myself that B&B isn’t real, like reality tv is, because I am investing too much heated annoyance at Brooke and Hope. Wasn’t it only two or three years ago that I was cheering on Hope to prevail over the evil Stephie? But now the tables have turned and Stephie has become the heroine, and Hope the Icing Sugar Maiden. And it’s a double headed monster, with Brooke running tandem sugar coated, innocent eyed devilry. I am reminded of the movie, The Bad Seed ; “But Mommie, I had to burn the gardener to death. He found my shoes”.
I am waiting for Ridge to wake up and realize just how much oil Brooke is throwing on the fire to encourage Hope’s seduction of Liam. I look forward to yet another couple reshuffle scuffle, with Brooke back nursing her vodka bottle…or Thorne’s…..what rhymes with Thorne?
I was wondering if Stephie might lose the baby, but pretend to stay pregnant so she could reel in Liam. My dilemma is, I want Stephie to triumph, but Liam is such a crappy prize. He and Hope are much better suited to each other as they both have delusions of sainthood.
I wonder if June will see a return of cast that have been shelved while Stephie and Hope duel it out like two cats fighting over the same dead bird. It will be good to see the more lushly browed Quinn return, preferrably with less shrubbery shadowing her eyes. She might be a good irritant for Brooke. I think Ridge should turn to Quinn for solace and advice. It would be enough to p*ss off Brooke, but keep the status quo with Eric. Eric should cancel Hope for The Future like he dropped Ridge as CEO because he kissed Caroline as it’s a company with good morals and family values. I think the family values just means that they sleep with family.
Adios amorés. I have included a pic of The Bad Seed.

Daisy’s March Bold chat

To all of the Aussie Bold or Beautiful, we are now in the midst of a paternity maelstrom. Stephie is lucky it’s only a toss up between two possible fathers, but it’s painful non the less as she stands to rip apart the father and son she fought so passionately to reunite. I know you are faithful followers out there, so rather than recounting February, I will instead pose some deeply disturbing questions.
1. Where the hell was Shedevil on Christmas day. We were all expecting her to be handing out a tray of lemon bars; perhaps sent over as part of Il Geordino’s catering team. Could she have turned over a new leaf? Why has she not been over in her lingerie to collect her portrait?
2. Which room will Thorne get? Will it be the adjoining suite? And does this mean that Brooke will now have to give up hopes of marrying Ridge so that she can steal Katie’s new lover? How dare Thorne move on so quickly. Will Thorne start a new line; Katie’s bedroom line?
3. Has Katie been using her telescope to eyeball Maneo?
4. Will little Lizzie ever see Santa? Or will she be a twelve year old before she is allowed to come downstairs from napping, like an American Sleeping Beauty, to finally open her presents. It’s her second Christmas and she’s still a no show. On that, who is upstairs minding her? Where is the baby monitor? And will she be a natural fashion designer? Or top model?
5. Why couldn’t Zende afford to fly home for Christmas? And will he get Sarsha pregnant, thus rubbing salt in Nicole’s wounds. Will Nicole get so mad she has a sex change, thus giving Mr Avant back the son he lost?
6. Has Ivy refused to sleep with the writers? Or did she p*ss off Stephie by being too tall and too lovely? Or did she p*ss of Quinn for being a brunette with Elizabeth Taylor blue eyes? Rumour has it, Ivy is spreading her Aussie hopes a bit further afield in the hopes of bigger stardom. Does it even get bigger than B&B?
7. Who played footsie with who under the Christmas table? Were Donna’s legs long enough to reach the big money?
8. Will Liam quit work to play stay at home dad? And if he does, will he grow let himself go and grow a pauch like Wipe’s?
Perhaps March episodes will answer some of these perplexing questions. I am just hoping, that above all, baby Willemena is a girl and that she looks like Bill and likes steak. In spite of the doctor announcing otherwise, the biggest, most burning question of all is is Bill the daddy. Wipes will want to know if he is an uncle or if he and Liam get a new baby brother or sister. The latter will be more fun.

Bold January chat

Over to Daisy (thanks!)

After a barely deserved break some of our B&B cast returned to our screens this week. We kicked off the year with the feud between Liam and Bill, with Liam using Sally as an excuse to challenge his dad…or has he been using his fleeting power at Spencer to puff out his chest and win the flaming redhead damsel who enjoys being saved by millionaires. Sally and Liam make a great couple. She likes being saved by men with fat wallets and Liam enjoys saving damsels. One thing I dislike more than an outright villain (Bill), is a villain with a halo.
Anyhow, some of your interest may have waned due to the script having more holes than an original chesty bonds singlet, and due to the fact, that neither Grams nor Sheila were in the building when Bill blew it to smithereens. (I have a whole warehouse of words like smithereens- they come with age). So let’s revive the passion for fashion with some suggestions of coupling, no triangling, we may hope to see.
Now these aren’t spoilers, but me trying my hand at script writing.
Stephie tires of Liam pretending he isn’t having an affair of the wallet with Sally. She moves on to Wipes but is also lusting for Bill.
Bill is lusting for Brooke and Stephie.
Wipes moves on from Katie and lust for Stephie.
Liam is out in the cold so lusts for Sally, until Hope comes back…or will that be Thomas? Anyhow, you get the drift. They always come in threes. And Eric is tickling the ivories for Quinn, Sheila and Katy, who runs to Eric when her sexaphoning with Wipes ends.
Avants are too boring. It’s time Rick moved onto Nicole. Nicole needs to be replaced by her wax dummy which is more animated. Or else the producers should use that ap on her where you can add a rabbit nose and cheesy smile.
And that’s all folks. 😁

The Bold and the Beautiful – Nov thread

Thank you to TBATB correspondent Daisy for her latest installment:

October was a big month for Bold and the Beautiful. The world was turned up side down at Spencer Publications than back again, then on its ear as righteously indignant, spoilt boy Liam launches a company coup from his father because his dad is unworthy to run the company. To be fair Bill did railroad Thomas and Sally Spectra’s love affair with lies that Caroline is dying, and he did hasten his purchase of the Spectra building by sending a capable electrician from Happy Days in to start an electrical fire. But other than that, Bill has kept his nose pretty clean. Will Bill survive Liam’s company take-over? I am thinking the worm may turn yet again and Liam will end up running to Forresters to become a top fashion designer…..in a week. In the meantime Stephanie has given Liam a few withering, long-suffering looks that said, “Just leave it alone, Liam”.
It’s been quiet at the Avant camp but now Nicole, Maya and little what’s her name have returned with the baby cooing, “Mama” at Nicole. Maya needs to come up with a plan to stop this immediately, and drive a wedge between mother and daughter, so instead of simply staying and looking after her own kid, she tells Rick to exile Nicole and Zende to Paris. Not to shabby an exile.
Shedevil Sheila is still chasing after Eric and believes that all she has to do is remove Quinn from the frame. Literally. Will she succeed in throwing Quidge back together or will Cherrlee manage to actually behave like a security guard and boot her from the premises. So far it seems, Cherrrlee’s view is; “In for a penny, in for a pound”. Perhaps Sheila has taken a couple of Cherrlee’s curly grey’s and put them in a voodoo doll.
Brooke has been quiet lately. She’s either off selling kaftans, or been home watching Robert de Niro and Al Pacino movies, so she can adjust to her new role, married to the mob. Brooke now has an excuse to dump Bill, unless she sees herself making intimate visits to the jail.
But not sure that Brooke and Ridge are ready to reunite. There may yet be more unrequited sizzle to squeeze from Quidge.
Coconut and Arjay have pulled their heads in since nearly getting arrested, and speaking of arrests, did the producers have to pay the Gumshoe Gourmand for the recent episode since that was only a dream?
Bets on Thomas staying with Caroline; and by “staying”, I mean lasting two weeks. Can hard-nut Sally win back her rich sweetheart?
It seems like November is going to be full of adventures, scheming, twists and turns as the fashionably pampered of LA work through the challenges of getting through one day without a fire, a murder, a fashion line heist or a stolen baby.
Cheers soapers. Over to you.

Bold and the Beautiful – Oct chat

Thank you to TBATB correspondent Daisy for her ongoing recaps:

As promised, here is the B&B update for October/Novevember. There are a lot of weird things happening at the moment. Perhaps it’s a full moon in LA. Shelia the Shedevil has gone all Dorian Grey. Her portrait seems to have evil powers. Cherrrleee is playing with fire hanging out in her apartment. He better get out of there before Shedevil uses his hair and bones for an incantation.
Katy and Wipes have a stomache churning thing going on. Wipes is using his usual technique of wearing the girl….or woman down, by pressuring her until she gives up and marries him. The only difference this time is Katy isn’t dating Liam. So that’s a fresh approach for Wipes. Bill is sure to express his disgust when he finds out his ex wife is dating his son.
Behind the scenes this week, Thomas is off renewing his relationship with Caroline and Douglas, the miracle talking child with the voice of a middle aged woman. It would have been smarter if writers had recognized that babies don’t usually talk so eloquently on the phone. Anyhow, that leaves Sally and the Spectras on hold, and no doubt they will soon hatch a plan to win Thomas back from the not-so-terminally ill Caroline.
Maya and Zende are being positioned by writers for some hot and heavy, while Nicole swans around in terry towelling with Rick. She managed to give up her maternal urges pretty quickly and signed her baby over, choosing to get back into modelling. It should be fun to watch how the Avant sisters’ love life plays out. But whatever happened to Sarsha. She needs to come back and stir the pot.
In the meantime Brooke and Bill, and Liam and Stephie are doing something B&Bers never do; settle into a quiet, stable marriage. Of course that won’t last.
Bravo to Eric, the most forgiving man in the world because Quinn “touched something he didn’t know he had” (that’s what happens when you can’t see over your belly), and he and Quinn are back together. But they are heading into rough seas as Shedevil is just getting warmed up. Won’t Pammy give Cherrrleee what for.
Now for the ttv nominations; and the categories are; scariest villain, most insipid, face you most want to punch, person you most want written out, sexiest and I suppose we should include a best actor and actress category, and worst actor/actress.
Happy viewing and may your B&B wishes come true.

Bold and the Beautiful – June chat

Over to BnB correspondent Daisy for the scoop on Quidge and co (thank you, Daisy):

I will be off to Vietnam for a month so I won’t be able to watch Australian episodes, so I will follow the goings on at Forresters here, and watch when I return.
So here is what is happening, what I might happen and what I would like to happen. You might want to add your own.
Quidge are smouldering. Boring, nice Katy has shown that she can be a horrible meddler and a blackmailer. I am guessing she might crank that up, until Quidge get caught by Eric. I am hoping that Quidge continue but I know they won’t because no one ever does on B&B.
At time of writing, Brooke is ready to to get back in the saddle and ride her stallion; or will that be bareback? OK, now I need to get that image out of my head. I would like to see Brooke and Bill last for a while, and Quidge. They would make good jealous rival couples.
Rick and Maya are on a basic retainer and doing nothing. Who cares? Nicole is amazing how she manages to perform while on sleeping tablets. I guess she and Zende will soon be back having marital problems. At least Sacha had some spark.
I hope Sally reforms and starts designing her own hideous clothing. I don’t mind her and Thomas together. Coco os behaving like another boring, goody goody Nicole. She and Arjay deserve each other but why should we be punished? Please let there be a budget cut, either at B&B productions or at Spectra. Lose Grams, Sol and stupid Darlita. But that won’t happen.
When Eric finds Ridge and Quinn gone down (literally) to make a sandwich one night and finds them on the floor, rolling in honey, he might have another brain attack. Katy will swoop on Eric at some point. For sure.
Happy viewing. My favourite bits are Quidge related.

The Bold and the Beautiful – May chat

Over to B&B correspondent Daisy for the soapie scoop (thank you, Daisy!):
Is it just the painkillers I am taking, or has B&B really driven off the rails and gone into some crazy Alice in LA maze of weirdness? I think the writers might be sitting around with large hookahs because all has gone haywire in Forrester land. I know we complained that it needed new blood; that they should be looking outside of the family circle to marry and make babies, but did it have to be The Resurrection of all things Spectra.
The B&B producers have gone so far as to make clones of each Spectra persona from decades ago. Now that might not be so bad if they didn’t have to be so corny, but there is so much corn on B&B now that aliens can make crop circles. It’s so bad, that they even have replaced Darla with a Darlita, who you wouldn’t even hire to bring in your mail. Producers have hired three pretty actresses who are insulting their craft by having to ham it up, to go with the corn. Ham, corn and cheese overload. And don’t get me started on the gaudy Granny. Spectras are making Forresters appear normal.
It sure didn’t take much to get Sally to quit designing and turn to espionage. Anyhow we can see where all that is heading, with little Coco being caught spying, and new love triangles surfacing. But what I want to know is, why on earth is Ridge marrying Brooke, when will Quidge NOT have sex, like they are NOT kissing, why is Ridge marrying Brooke when he is so hot for Quinn, and will Katie be the dibber dobber or Charlie or Ivy? How many people will learn about Quidge before Eric does? And why is Ajay so annoying?

The Bold and the Beautiful – April chat with Daisy

Over to Daisy for another B&B recap and chat (thank you, Daisy):
While some might be getting sick of the musical chairs of relationships, engagements, marriage and divorce; it’s just getting interesting for me with the advent of Quidge. I really hope writers don’t let us down with this one. I want the fur to fly even more than with a wave of a Sally Spectra Boa scarf. While Quinn is trying to pour cold water on her rising lust for Ridge, and maintain her position as lady of the manor, or High Priestess of the Forrester clan; she is finding Ridges spell impossible to resist. Yep, Ridge is living up to his notoriety and Quinn’s resolve melts every time he breathes his husky garlic breath in her ear.
Between chasing after Eric and rerouting mail and newspapers to the big house, Katy, who doesn’t have to knock, has sprung Quidge in a little Last Tango in LA embrace, and has now got her blood hound nose on to get more hard evidence of a crime. Instead of running and tattling to Brooke like a good sister, she challenges the would-be lovers and gives Ridge a lecture on appropriate behaviour. Katy, that might include wiping your lippy off your wine glass when you have a rendezvous with Papa Forrester. It will be fun when Brooke returns to find her nemesis has stolen her man, or two of them now.
As usual, no one is actually doing any work. Stephie has been sitting around with Nicole discussing how blessed she is. But she is soon to have help, as Eric has once again thrown the CEO lotto balls into the air and, for the time being, made Ridge co-CEO. Maya and Rick are home with the baby. Nicole is pretending to be executive material. And wounded, passed over Thomas and Zende have been hanging out at a bar, where…..wait for it….(and it wasn’t hard to guess) a hot young spitfire, redhead named Sally (withholds the surname) Spectra introduces her gutsy, flamboyant self to Thomas. The girl has been working hard because she has impersonated her Grandma to a tee. I just hope she doesn’t have to wear those grandma fuzzy wraps all the time. I suspected there must have been a reason for Eric’s recent trip down the Sally Spectra memory lane. Anyhow, Sally Spectra take 2 should be a bit of fun. It probably means that there will now be a competing fashion house, and let’s hazard a guess that it is young, resentful Thomas who is the first Forrester talent to be scalped.
BTW, keep watch. Stephie and Nicole have been wearing wigs, and they have been very obvious.
I wanted to embarrass Juz on the bus again with another steamy pic of Stephie and Liam, but I think our newcomer deserves a shot. Happy viewing B&Bers.

The Bold and the Beautiful Feb recap

You Bold and Beautiful fans love a good ole natter about the show (with a few forays into Dr Phil territory), so it’s time for a new thread. What should I call you? Boldies? Beauties? Or just mad as cut snakes …
Luckily we have B&B correspondent Daisy to keep us in the loop of what’s happening in Forrester land. Thank you, Daisy. Over to you:

Thanks to Daisy for attaching this pic to an email I opened on the bus this morning. I'm sure the person next to me thought I was looking at something R-rated! -Juz — Thanks to Daisy for attaching this pic to an email I opened on the bus this morning.

We start off with a cliffhanger this month. Isn’t it poignant to have Brooke on a ridge with Ridge. Too bad Bill wasn’t using his tracking device. He would have pushed Ridge off that cliffhanger.
Brooke is as mature as the most popular girl at school; the nasty one who got her boobs first.
As it’s also the start of the new year, it’s great that Katy has a new house. I wonder what her housewarming gifts will be. From Eric, a pair of diamond earrings. From Quinn, a poisoned apple. At least Quinn won’t have to travel far to put a nasty thing in her mailbox. I look forward to seeing Eric collecting the paper from the front lawn and apologising to Katy when his brunch coat slips open. Does anyone expect Quinn’s portrait to remain in pride of place for the whole year?
To Rick and Maya; how much more will these two be able to congratulate each other on their own choices and righteous behaviour. “How dare Zende run to Sasha?” Well, let’s see…anyone recall Rick running off to late night bubble baths because he found out Ridge kissed Caroline? I would rate kissing another man a 7 no no, and getting into the stirrups at the gynecologist’s room to have more of Ricky’s sperm injected into you…oh…at least a 10. I have my fingers crossed for Sasha and Zende. As for Nicole, they could get her dummy for Madam Trussaud’s wax museum to play her. What happened to the little spitfire that used to “love to party” by daggy dancing over a martini with Wipes? Nicole won’t be satisfied until Zende removes his nuggets and has them gold plated and gift wrapped.
And all the current spare cast will probably come into play again soon: Thomas and Caroline, Stephie and Liam, Ivy and Wipes. Look forward to it all.
Oh…and B&B cast and crew…welcome to our beautiful country. We hope you love it and Bill whisks Brooke away to one of our major tourist attractions. Onyer cobber!
