Well, at least I can now stop watching this lame a$$ soap. I was only watching for Sally’s storyline and fast forwarding through everything else. Good luck and best wishes to Courtney Hope. May whatever she does after this involve GOOD writing.

Another AMAZING performance by the fabulous Courtney Hope today! Still hated that they’ve got her going all tail between her legs with Flo and Wyatt though. If we can just speed this along and get our favorite redhead back to being the sassy, fun and kooky fashion designer we grew to love it’d be much appreciated. Given that Bell and writers are so focused on having Sally stress how rejected and cast out she’s felt starting in childhood I hope this is all leading somewhere interesting...like Sally having someone try to pursue her, having her luck turn. I’m still laughing that as much as TIIC tried to ruin Sally’s character, Courtney Hope’s acting had new fans turning in, old fans cheering her on and even some who were on the fence about her begrudgingly admitting to feeling for her. Like it or not, the Sally character has an impressive following. It’s only apropos to leave with this gem:

Touché (although whether or not Flo was sincere given she was practically complaining that Sally hadn’t dropped dead already is in question). But I was referring to Flo being self-aware and compassionate at the moment of Sally explaining her misguided plan. Instead, we see the baby-stealing heifer get on her sanctimonious and hypocritical high horse and gleefully and annoyingly shame Sally for her actions while Flo did something that was not only cruel but also kept up a lie that would have ended her cousin’s unimaginable pain and suffering. In the grand scheme of things, Wyatt and Flo look ridiculous for even getting after Sally much less berating her.

I know I’ve said this before but Bell and this show really, truly don’t deserve Courtney Hope. Her final scene before the fainting spell made me tear up. Sally is the character that just can’t catch a break. I’m glad she was able to give Wyatt what for right before the end of the ep. And are these writers serious about Flo’s indignation and self-righteousness after she lied to her kin and kept her cousin from reuniting with her baby for a whole a** year? As a viewer. I would have had so much more more respect for the character of Flo if she’d at least shown some self-awareness and compassion for Sally. Also, the dialogue would have been a lot more interesting if Sally had at least acknowledged Flo was going way left (“really, you’re going there, baby thief?”). Honestly, it’d make more sense for Wyatt to be drawn to Sally’s bat-ish crazy love and plot to win him over given who his mother is. In any case, Bell is so irritating. He must know how popular Sally is and I’m convinced this is his way of trolling her fans and his warning he’ll keep using Sally as the proverbial punching bag for the rest of the B&B elite. Time out in quarantine seemed to do nothing to improve Bell’s creativity and, honestly this show is so dumb, but I’ll begrudgingly keep watching as long as Courtney Hope is on contract!

That would be BRILLIANT and we know these writers don’t do brilliant so they’ll probably spend their time patting themselves on the back because, good or bad “we’ve got them talking about the show.” 🤦🏻‍♀️ As for the cliffhanger, I think Wyatt is reacting to the living room being in a disarray. They’re just making us think he might have seen them dragging Flo across that floor. But LAWD help us if this turns into Cabin Abduction 2.0. !!!

So...I haven’t watched an entire episode proper of this soap for a while but have caught clips here and there. The most recent 4 minute clip I saw of yesterday’s episode leading up to Flo getting conked on the head with Wyatt’s bland table decor was pure ENTERTAINMENT! Bless Sally’s heart for actually catching Flo and keeping her head from completely hitting that hardwood floor. Social media was having a field day with majority of viewers giving a hearty Grumpy Cat “GOOD” as well as cheering Dr. Pelotón on. The distaste for Flor was rampant and many a celebration was had that Felony Flo got knocked the F out. Some even suggested that Sally was a kinder soul than any of them (suggesting they would’ve let her hit the ground full force) while others are hoping this was the official send off of the character (unlikely). I wonder what goes through Bradley and the writer’s minds at this point. Like, ALLL these recent episodes trying to villainize Sally and prop up Flo a) haven’t worked and b) have made people more determined to be in Sally’s corner. To TIIC: throw in the tile!! It’s hilarious!

Poppin’ in to say how SALTY I am that Bell continues to try to completely tear down Sally’s character with this stupid storyline. Sally’s move today, trying to emotionally manipulate Wyatt to trade good times to give her drive and motivation to beat her non-existent deadly disease, was a new low. But it’s STILL not as low as Flo taking hush money and refusing to tell the truth about Beth being alive, all while watching her cousin suffer heart wrenching pain thinking her baby was dead, just so she wouldn’t lose her lame high school flame! WE STILL REMEMBER, BRADLEY! #neverforget Congratulations to the idiot writers for making everyone on this show unlikeable. But I’m with those who say that will continue to root for Sally against bland Flo just to spite them!

THIS. Bradley is so stubborn regarding the vanilla, uninteresting and pointless character Flo. I’m sure Katrina B. is a perfectly nice person and I’d never wish for anyone to lose their job (especially during these uncertain times) but he really needs to give up trying to make Flo happen. Not sure how I feel about Sally turning villainess in this way. I mean, it’s horrible to allow people who care about you to think you’re dying and not immediately put them at ease (remember, it was blabbermouth Katie who set everything in motion) but is it baby-napping and watching your blood kin suffer the loss of her child knowing you could end her pain by telling her the truth? NO, BRADLEY. I can honestly say that this reveal, as stupid and senseless and not supported by previous plot point and writing as it is, was SUCH a soapy moment and made me gasp in a way I hadn’t for a soap opera. I’m Hispanic and Courtney Hope sold the angry, scamming Sally and made me interested to see where this goes and gave us a classic moment akin to when a telenovela makes you put hand to mouth in surprise. I’m honestly wondering if this is Bradley’s spiteful way of letting us know we’re not getting Wally and that he begrudgingly understands Sally is too popular a character to kill off. ETA: The more I think about it, if the end of the pathetic, hang-dog kicking her over and over while she’s down Sally has to come at the expense of Wally, then so be it. But none of this changes the facts that Sally is the most dynamic and interesting character on this stupid show, Courtney Hope one of the most talented actresses and I hope she, in great soap opera villainy fashion burns this mutha (figuratively, of course) to the ground! 🔥 🔥 🔥 💃🏻

SOD Spoilers for Week of March 16: Brooke and Bill kiss. Wyatt feels guilty for meeting with Flo while Sally is ill Quinn gets the ammunition she needs to take down Brooke ————————- So...Brill v. 10.0 Wyatt and Felony Flo will still be gross and lame. Looking forward to Quinn making something interesting happen on this uninspired show. In the meantime, I hope Sally finds out and reads Wyatt the riot act.

Checking in to say: Courtney Hope is a great actress and her scenes with Wyatt made me tear up. Am annoyed that Wyatt and Sally have so much chemistry but Bell chooses to squander it by continuing to try to prop up Felony Flo. Sally does not deserve to be a third wheel. Wyatt and Flo are still gross and I still ff through all of their scenes. I ESPECIALLY ff through Katie and Flo scenes. Katie giving Sally the speech about her living life with Wyatt knowing that in the same breath she is turning around to encourage Flo is doubly gross. And yet I just can’t fully quit this ridiculous show.

Thoughts on today’s episode: Courtney Hope (Sally) continues to elevate this storyline with her acting. At the end of the day, this show doesn’t deserve her. Today’s Wyatt and Flo scenes highlighted just how gross this storyline is. Not sure what Bell and TIIC are smoking but, if they’re sitting around the writer’s room all “hey, having Waffles 2.0 and Felony Flo act like martyrs who are making such a HUUUGE sacrifice by pretending to be broken up while Wyatt pretends to want a relationship with Sally again just to ease his conscience over having screwed her over twice already will SURELY make our audience, the same audience (with the exception of a few) who has run out of ways to say they will never forget Felony Flo was part of a baby trafficking scheme and then watched her cousin suffer for months on end before being forced to come clean and also are bored/irritated by the Flatt pairing and prefer Wally even though we ruined the pairing by making Wyatt act WAY OOC, suddenly and magically love them and accept them as a BB super couple,” then they can get on with that mess! Also, ew on them throwing in Wyatt and Flo counting down the days until Sally makes it to the pearly gates so they can be together again. 🙄 I just can’t with these writers. Also, Katie is THE WORST with her blabbing Sally’s confidential medical info to everyone who breathes air. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Most of the BB fanbase can’t stand Flo and are starting to really despise Wyatt. But this? Tender moments while Sally is dying, Wyatt “making the ultimate sacrifice” by playing nurse to Sally? Beyond gross. Still trying to decide if I’ll be watching this dreck play out in screen. But if I do (and it’ll only be to watch my girl Courtney Hope continue to get the screen time she deserves), I can guarantee I’ll be out (for real, y’all) soon after. What is it with Bell and his fixation with trying to redeem Felony Flo? The ship sailed the minute she took the 50 thou. Stupid Bell wouldn’t know a good storyline if it hit him between the eyes.

SOD Spoilers for March 2: Vinny criticizes Thomas for using Douglas as a means to an end In her final weeks, Wyatt gives Sally a life worth living Also: Hope interrupts an intimate moment between Thomas and Zoe. Sally is stunned to learn what Ridge did with her designs. Bill pays Flo a surprising compliment. Brooke makes Ridge an offer. Katie makes it her mission to save Sally's job at Forrester Creations. Katie bonds with Flo Sally demands to know if Katie spilled her secret to Wyatt. With Flo's encouragement and because Sally doesn't have much time, Wyatt asks Sally to move in with him *************** Yuck. This show is so tiresome. So the Felony Flo redemption tour will continue. And what is this “life worth living?” Getting back with Sally out of pity? Continuing to see Flo in secret to reassure her while Sally is on her death bed? Kicking someone while they’re down? These writers are so gross. BUT I’m SO glad that Twitterverse is eviscerating the Flatt pairing and takes any and every opportunity to let TIIC know that the Flatt pairing is as exciting as watching paint dry, they LOVE Sally (and how dare they think of killing her off) and Felony Flo is not any less felonious despite the writers’ lame attempts to redeem her. May they get even more backlash because of these irritating spoilers.

IF it’s Wyatt and Sally, I hope that an actual re-engagement (WITH A RING) and wedding takes place. If the writers play it right (and if Bell has finally accepted the fact that he just isn’t ever gonna make Flo happen because we the audience are not having it), they can turn this storyline into some old school soapy goodness. I really hope TIIC really do lurk around these boards because, if so, LISTEN UP. Have Wyatt start off doing his pity sacrifices for Sally by leaving Felony Flo (thereby delaying their union and starting off pining away from her) and getting back together with her. The catch is that, as Wyatt reacquaints with a sick Sally this time around, he starts to actually realize he’s been in love with her all along but was too scared to move forward with her because of his insecurities of being second choice Waffle and because of his mommy issues where he’s been too afraid to go up against Quinn. All the while Sally (because of the laws of soap character ignorance/stupidity) has no idea Wyatt knew anything about her illness before proposing to and marrying her. She finally lets her guard down and allows herself to believe that she’s come out on top when it comes to romance. Up next is Sally’s miraculous recovery after she and Wyatt have had sexy/intimate times again. She soon finds out she’s pregnant with their kid but before she’s able to tell Wyatt she finds out that he knew about her illness before the proposal, is then convinced that Wyatt still loves Flo (not knowing that, after his pity reunion with her he had a chance to actually fall in love with her again) and, not wanting Wyatt to “stay with her for their child” tells him to kick rocks and keeps the pregnancy secret from him. Add Bill finding out about the pregnancy just because you can never have too much Bill and we’ve got a show worth tuning into. It would have all of our favorite /annoying/ INTERESTING soapy tropes AND, can y’all imagine how an actress like Courtney Hope would do a kick ass job with this storyline?! Meanwhile, Felony Flo is left standing there with her usual lame half-open mouth pout stunned that Wyatt is no longer interested in their lame, unrealistic (though yes, I know the rare high school sweethearts experience happens) blast from the past love story. But, knowing these writers, we’re in for some lame Wyatt pining away for Felony Flo while Bell continues his redeem the felon tour, or something. Ugh.
