B&B : In the Media!

[ByTor]

Wyatt looks good without the chicken hair.

[sugarbaker design]

No mention yet of Emmy nominations?  Heather Tom, Scott Clifton, Anna Maria Horsford, Reign Edwards, Pierson Fode and Anthony Turpel got nominations.

[Anna Yolei]

Horsford and HT are the only two who did anything even remotely Emmy-worthy.

Anthony Turpel? He was one for exactly two minutes of 2016 whining about his parents.

Reign Edwards? No words.

In any other year,  I'd think Clifton would've had a shot at winning with that Captive Cabin stuff, but I'm rooting for Peter Bergman for the affair fallout.

Fodé? Eh. He'll earn something for sure next year for this Sally story.

[tessaray]

I just happened to catch part of The Price is Right today and John McCook was on.  The man does look good in a sports car.

[ByaNose]

Seriously, how long has Anthony Turpel been on B&B? At least, Rome Flynn had more air time. This is why the Daytime Emmy's get the bad rap. That kid should even place his name in the running until KKL wins. Totally outragious!!

[TobinAlbers]

And Scott Clifton brings home the Emmy for Lead Actor.

On one hand, he's a great actor when given the material.

On the other hand...I hope this win was for something other than Captive Cabin.

Hope this gives him leverage to finally get his evil twin storyline.

[ByaNose]

Seriously? Scott Clifton wins Best Actor? He is one of the worst actors in daytime let alone B&B. After watching the reels I thought Billy Flynn was going to win. There is something wrong with daytime where KKL has never won and I think only been nominated once and SC has 3 Emmys. Lawd!

I actually like SC and am scratching my head at this one.

[Artsda]

I wasn't expecting SC at all and I don't think he himself was either. He's good, but if they were going to go younger for lead I was expecting Billy Flynn with the same material that had Kate Mansi win for Supporting. Or if not younger, then Peter Bergman with the same material that had Gina Tognoni win for Lead. 

Scott's win was a shocker, but enjoyed his speech and that he thanked Rena since it was just the 2 of them in all those scenes. 

[tessaray]

Well, rape (or whatever they say CC was) is classic Emmy material.  My worry is that TPTB will get the wrong message from his win re: that horrendous storyline.

Exactly. It was weird that only one half of a pairing that was nominated got the win (Gina and Kate) with their scene partner getting bubkus (Peter and Billy). Rena not even getting nominated was just damn weird. She even could've skipped the Captive cabin mess and submitted anything with Eric and Quinn and been a lock.

And yeah it was Billy Flynn's if they wanted to go younger as he's been up to the task as leading male on Days and taken Chad to a whole new level. He's got the material for a win for next year as well so hopefully he'll finally snag one.

And this was a pretty big win for him- male acting trifecta of younger, supporting, and lead all for the same role and first lead actor for B&B. Heather Tom has the trifecta for women although thr awards are spread out over two roles. Good night for Scott even if it was an upset.

[grisgris]

Color me surprised! I watched his reel and was like ... "meh ..." Nothing that spectacular. Nonetheless, I am very happy for Scott!

OK, back to business. This could go two ways: 1) He could get complacent and dig in his heels and stay where he is. Then we'd be stuck with Lame forever or at least until the plug gets pulled on ALL soaps.

or 2) This will be the impetus he needs to MOVE ON!

Somehow, I get an inking of option #2. (But not in the immediate future.) I read some verbiage from SC regarding the recent trip Down Under. He was stunned (in a good way) by the attention and adoration from the fans; which he doesn't receive over here. He also eluded to something along the lines of thus being inspired to step up his game. Maybe it was the wake-up call he needs to move to greener pastures.  I mean Chickenhead is getting bit parts on prime-time comedies ...

Maybe Liam will suddenly regain his memory of the Weffy skivvies sleep-over and go to Milan and reunite with Hope, never to return. I can also see him getting really bent out of shape at Puffy for her treatment of Sally and Coco and bolt.

[Anna Yolei]

If Liam leaves, we could have a spot open for Little Eric to fill...he has history with Rick and no blood relation to any female on canvas. And if Maya happened to father a child as Myron when she was still trying to prove herself to be a man (since someone is sticking up for the Avants ), all the better.

Like I've said before, Clifton is a competent actor IMO and he's had some of the shittiest writing and motivations given to his character over the years...the idea that he waffles between women because he couldn't save his mother is something that's more the fandom's collective headcanon than something that's been addressed outright on the show (aside from Steffy screeching about it that one time because he dare marry his girlfriend without telling her!)

Just as long as he doesn't bolt into Coco's arms, because just no.

[TobinAlbers]

I think SC can stay on at B&B without becoming complacent. He's got some leverage now to ask for a non triangle story IMO and they could easily give him a 3 month arc on Liam addressing his mommy issues or launching his own company or being single. His Emmy wins did not come due to his Steffy association. The first two were for his storyline as Bill's son and this last one due to Quinn so...he ain't gotta hitch his wagon completely to JMW. 

He could also use that leverage perhaps to get some prime time work, but if I were him I'd push for a spot over on a CW show. Crazy Ex Girlfriend or Jane the Virgin are right up his alley or a mini arc as a newspaper reporter on Supergirl or The Flash or even a victim on iZombie.

[Artsda]

Awww he doesn't think he deserves it. I think everyone was expecting BF or PB.

[grisgris]

Oh, he just had to throw out the "We wuz wobbed ... " only in a meaningful context.

(j/k gracious and humble response.)

It took me a second to get what you meant and then I laughed way too hard and long.

And then I had a fantasy of a cross network crossover with Liam saying that to Chad as he stomps around the DiMera mansion as Chad looks on and drinks heavily.

OMG, What if Scott Clifton is the one reading this board?! ??

Like, we had the actual Michael Munhey posting on TWOP every so often, except SC is wiser than Munhey was and keeps quiet,  lol :p

Still, that's classy of him (and very true. Peter Bergman was robbed too IMO).

[null4536]

So yeah Scott winning the daytime emmy.

 

hmmm

[TobinAlbers]

Well LG's made it official -she's not coming back as Caroline Spencer.

Of course that doesn't mean they won't recast if they want to bring the character back since she is the mother of a Forrester heir but the way they dumped her after striking gold with her and Ridge is just awful. Why not put her in a fling with Saul? Or a single mom for a while?

[tessaray]

I'm not sure what they could do with her since she's related to half the men on canvas and after being with Rick, Ridge and Thomas, who's left - Zende? 

I do wish we had gotten the obligatory health scare so they find out that Douglas isn't Thomas's kid.

That wig look like doll hair.

Naw, doll hair looks way more natural these days. Especially those expensive ass American Girl dolls. My friends with children tell me you can brush that hair forever and it never gets ratty like my old Barbies would, lol.

But in all seriousness, it's LA. We've moved from the old days where no one knew how to do black hair and there are wigs out there that aren't that noticeably fake looking.

[politichick]

I will never get why she would even allow herself to be on national TV looking like that.

[Capricasix]

Kim Matula was on CityTV Toronto's BreakfastTelevision this morning, talking about her new series "LA>Vegas". I didn't see much of her appearance, only catching it in passing.

[TobinAlbers]

Brooke acts like Bill rocked her world with that hot air balloon ride in Aspen when Eric got there first.

Can't tell whose balloon is bigger ;)

[Petunia13]

There's a campaign on social media to bring Taylor back. Uhhh

Taylor is entirely unneeded these days when Katie is the faux moral compass, Maya is the new untouchable saint for whom butter wouldn't melt on her tongue and Ridge and Brooke are both with other people. I mean, if they brought her back for a week to play mediator with the Taytots or something, mayyyyyybe. But as a regular? Naw. Somehow, I know she'd just end up bashing Brooke for existing, and I'm over that.

Oh  hell no to the Fake Saint Teflon Queen of Stephanie, DOOOO Something Quack of LA!

[TobinAlbers]

I don't get it. Reign's hair looks fabulous here! Sleek, nice color, well styled. What gives, show?

Looks like Liam, Rick, Maya, Quinn, Ridge, Eric, and Sheila stayed in LA.  Wonder if the scenes they tape on location start out Wyatt in Monte Carlo sniffing after Steffy only to perhaps become attentive to Katie. I could see Bill realizing Wyatt is trying to move in on 'Liam's wife' and tell him to cut it out and go look after Katie for Will's sake. It'd be the second time Bill sends a son to check in on a former love and they end up a couple. In any case we will see.

Congrats to B&B on their win!

I really wish more women would go with the "less is more" approach when it comes to makeup.  I think JMW looks so pretty here:

[grisgris]

JMW looks her actual age here. The heavy eye makeup and contouring she wears onscreen just draws attention to the work she's had done and ages her terribly.

[Gam2]

No kidding, grisgris. She actually looks like a human being here. So glad she's been off the screen lately. I have "Steffy fatigue".

I've had Steffy Fatigue since about 2012, so I'm glad they've dialed it back.

[TobinAlbers]

I love everything about this. ?

[TobinAlbers]

 

That is just too fabulous!

[Evanscody]

Hahaha

[AussieBabe]

Another picture from Monte Carlo last month. (with Princess Charlene/Prince Albert). I love KKL's dress. I don't know why they don't dress her like this on the show. Those fugly pants, weird tops, and straight hair do her no favours. Pierson is a tall drink of water.

[TobinAlbers]

DD gives me life in his ensemble. KKL definitely is bringing it.

PT and DB take your hands outta ya pockets! You're standing with royalty!

[grisgris]

I agree. KKL looks stunning, as does CH. However .... JMW, HT, (WTF??), DD and RE look like a collective hot mess, especially DD in the dated wrinkled, "Saturday Night Fever" cast-off.. RF loses points with the brown shoes. ITA that PF looks HOT! HOT! HOT! But to the men, I give the overall best-dressed nod to DB.  For the women ... HT.

I wonder if KKL and CH got the memo that Princess Charlene was going to wear red. Hee!

On a side note, I was going through some old family photos and found a photo of my maternal aunt's wedding photo from the 40s. My uncle, at that age, bore a striking resemblance to PF.

Zencole are not needed here. Replace them with Maya and Sasha or Vivien and Maya. 

The tweet video of the scene of Steffi shoving Liam aside to shoot Sheila synched up to Ludacris "Move Bitch, get out the way" playing on repeat is everything.

[Gam2]

Why in the world are ZZZZZende and Nicole there?! I was so hoping they were off my screen forever. What the heck are Katie, Steffy and Nicole wearing? Those are ugly dresses but KKL looks stunning! Why aren't Thomas and Sally standing beside each other? So many questions, so few answers.

[Petunia13]

I know KKL looks gorgeous. The Princess looks like she could be a long lost Logan sister lol. 

DD is always a bit of a dandy or risk taker clothing-wise. He has like 7 sons and I think he's said they egg him on or dare him style wise. One of his sons is the quarterback of Indiana University Bloomington football and on a full scholarship. 

[Anna Yolei]

See, Diamont has learned the art of pushing fashion. He should have a chat the next time he runs into Ronn Moss. ??

[grisgris]

I agree. I think a nice white or off-white flowing scarf of poncho would compliment DD's attire nicely! /eyeroll.  What was he thinking?  I'm now starting to wonder if it's some kind of joke.

Alex Wyse (Saul) has a new webseries that just premiered today on Huffington Post's Queer Voices. 

I always find him extremely funny, so I'm looking forward to this.

That's great news! Then WHY can't Saul be gay? His Lemonheads Jr. unrequited pining after Sally and jealous grousing about Thomas are ridiculous and I'm tired of seeing it.  It's not like a gay employee at a fashion house is some kind of anomaly!
