When it comes to The Bold and the Beautiful, every fan has their own opinion – and Soap Hub is no different. For five days, we sat and watched the good, the bad, and everything in between, and now we offer you a handy review and a cheeky critique of B&B’s week that was.
The Bold and the Beautiful: The Critic’s POV
It’s getting increasingly difficult to differentiate between episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful, what with all the looped dialogue murmured on the same three to four sets day in and day out. Eric’s (John McCook) collapse on Friday was actually a welcome reprieve, seeing as how it was something different. Heck, even Donna (Jennifer Gareis) strutting around in that cheap, royal purple garb was an appreciated distraction.
Thank goodness for the promised returns of beloved cast members Winsor Harmon (Thorne Forrester) and Ashley Jones (Bridget Forrester) in the coming week (get more details here). At least there’s something to look forward to.
Further B&B Musings
* And just like that, it appears Steffy’s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) very capable, very handsome husband is about to crack Eric’s case wide open.
* How ironic that Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) would insist to the family that they not pity Eric when that’s exactly what they’ve been doing ever since they learned of his illness. Equally galling was her insisting that “Everybody knows Eric’s situation is impacting every member of this family,” especially since it wasn’t followed up with, “unless you’re named Zende, Thorne, Bridget, Rick, Felicia, and/or Kristen.”
What do you think? Post a comment!
The fact that Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor), of all people, has been clued in to Eric’s dying while a number of the man’s own children and grandchildren remain in the dark….it’s mind-boggling.
And given that Eric seems to be coopting the late Stephanie’s “Celebration of Life,” will they bust out that slide again?
* While I’m fairly certain that it wasn’t the scriptwriter’s intent, all I gleaned from Hope (Annika Noelle) and Deacon’s (Sean Kanan) confrontation was one oversexed hypocrite yelling at another oversexed hypocrite.
