Same repetitive, dopey convos from $Bill & Luna, Hope & Carter, and Daphne LePew & Steffy.

The show seems to be going through yet another "filler" phase, where they fill the show with endlessly repetitive dialogue about what's happened so far - this show's "filler" phases have been known to last for anywhere from one week to two weeks.

[CharlizeCat]

 

Oh, please. Surely, this isn't it. I think Finn is going to press for a paternity test. Since he's a doctor, he can run one. I want to see Steffy's head explode when she learns that Finn is Luna's father, making Sheila Luna's grandmother! 

So many holes! If Bill thought Poppy was such a horrible person, then why was he so eager to reconnect with her when he discovered she was back in L.A.?

I have never been a fan of Poppy, but enough with the retconned trashing of her character. To me, she just seems like a guileless flake who followed her heart and made many, many mistakes along the way. (Maybe she and Brooke can connect as friends?)

I just can't with the ridiculous Daphne Rose. I agree. If your fragrance proceeds you when entering room, you're wearing too much damned perfume! I hope this seduction setup with Carter backfires big time in Steffy's face. Speaking of ... I thought JMW was looking a little fuller in the face and other areas today. Maybe it was the way she was dressed. Think she's preggers again? 

[Artsda]

How many candidates were there for Luna's father.  We're on #3 and she's still claiming it's not him. 

[KnightStorm]

Honestly, Daphne is probably the worst "seductress" the show has ever had. This only works if it's intended to be something we can laugh at. But just like Ridge being "desirable", Bell is probably being serious. However much of a flake Poppy was, the idea that she's responsible for Luna's homicidal tendencies is absurd. Saying she takes after grandma Sheila would make more sense.

We LITERALLY heard Bill say over and over and over that he thought of Poppy every single bloody day since their tryst at the music festival and she was NEVER out of his thoughts since that time! This was pushed down our throats by the writers ad nauseum. Now all of a sudden he thinks she's this vile woman who did her daughter wrong etc?? I've said it before and I'll say it again, these fucking writers!

[Snaporaz]

Yes, Hope, when Daphne enters a room, all eyes go directly to her. And then those eyes roll.  Steffy is more excited about breaking up yet another of Hope's relationships.  Since she can't do it herself, she's using a third party.  What I don't understand is how breaking up Hope and Carter automatically means Carter will give up and hand the company back to Steffy.  He and Hope don't function as a single unit.

[KerleyQ]

I swear, for a moment there, when Carter and Hope were talking about how "captivating" Pepe LePew is, it looked like Carter was taking that in, along with Daphne's not even remotely subtle come ons to him over the past few days and thinking "threesome?" 

Too bad for Carter, but the woman Daphne wants is clearly Steffy.  Maybe she can be there for Steffy when she finds out her kidnapper is her stepdaughter. 

It would have been so awesome if, after Poppy got done denying her ass off, Finn said "oh, really, because this DNA test I ran while I waited for you to get here says otherwise."  But, Finn's just not that clever. 

Oh, look, Bill and Luna are having the same fucking conversation they have every day.  I hate that they're wasting both actors on this tedious repetition.

Steffy can't comprehend that, because she controls Finn, fully and completely, so she assumes that's how it works. Ridge isn't correcting that notion, because it's also how he likes his relationships to work - total loyalty and obedience. They think Hope is controlling Carter via his dick. So, once they get his dick another interest, someone who pushes their agenda, he'll fall into line. 

[NinjaPenguins]

Luna: We understand each other. That’s why I wrote you all those letters from prison. I wish you were my dad. I killed two men in cold blood because my mom’s a dirty, deadbeat whore.

Bill: Both of our mothers were selfish harlots. It traumatized us. I empathize with you. That’s why I got you out of prison. Have I done bad things?I once had a hobo dropped out of a helicopter for the lulz.

RINSE REPEAT.

Ridge: ‘Sup?

Steffy: Just pimping out my dear friend. Literally. I am weaponizing her bikini zone for our family’s gain. Bitch better have my company.

Daphne: I am le powerhouse in zee fragrance industry, but whoring makes for the exciting side hustle, no?

************

Finn: First, I need to focus on the irrelevant, meaningless question of whether you were surprised that Tom Starr wasn’t Luna’s father. Then, I need to know the truth. Could I be Luna’s father?

Poppy: No.

Finn: Am too.

Poppy: Are not.

Finn: Derp face.

**********

You know, I’m starting to think the person who generates this garbage has a problem with women. 

[Crashcourse]

This Daphne chick trying so hard to be sexy is hilarious!  I know it's not gonna happen, but I wish Carter would bust out laughing! 🤣

[lightninggirl]

Are we figuring out $Bill's game with Luna yet? All she's doing is banging on about how horrible Poppy was as a mother, but that only happened once Luna went coocoo for Cocoa Puffs. Before that, they were tight and had the "you and me against the world" mindset with Luna talking about how close a bond they shared. Then $Bill now is all "I hate my mom, too, so we're twinsies!" - but then mentions how his father wasn't around. I remember when he first came on the scene he was trying to avenge his father's love for Stephanie Forrester, but he couldn't stand his father.

I about died laughing when they showed the previews for next week and Finn is trying to emote ... something. 😂 He's such a crappy actor I can't believe he actually still has this role. 🙄

[Js Nana]

So, the Daphne Rose who does everything but rip off her panties, wave them under Carter's nose, and ask him how he likes that scent, is described by il Principessa Stephania as subtle, when laughably obvious would be a better description.

How dare you. This is the moment I’m most looking forward to next week. Finn’s face reminded me of the Californians sketches from Saturday Night Live.

Isn’t it great that Ridge and Steffy can sit around and casually chat about prostituting a colleague like that? Man, I wish I could talk to my dad about such delicate subjects, but then we’d be creepy and dysfunctional too.

Show could probably ease up on the sparkly magical music that plays when Daphne LePew swans into the office on a cloud of her own rose-scented flatulence. The whole storyline is embarrassing enough without the tacky embellishment.

You guys, when did Luna start wishing that Bill was her dad? How have I not heard this before?

[ScoobieDoobs]

Hey purple nursie, MYOB & piss off, hun!

Wow, could Steffy be any more smug, annoying & unlikable?  Uh, NO!

Er, about time Poopy checked up on her daughter’s whereabouts.

Yeah, Carter couldn’t stop the frggin’ smiling.  Was he laughing at Daphne LePew’s stupid constipated looks — that she seemed to think was sexy?  Sheesh, that one has zero sense of humor.  Blech!  And Carter, will ya tell her to back the eff off & act professional!

So can’t $Bill spend some coin & get himself a shrink?  He’s gotta find a double-murderer to release from jail & dump on her, about his supposedly sh*tty childhood?  WTF?

[Artsda]

Now Hope is a gold digger wanting Carter's money?  Lol she has her own and if she was a gold digger she would have stayed a Spencer.

[Waldo13]

The only thing, for me, alluring about Daphne is her  accent.  Daphne has to bathe herself in some mysterious sent to become alluring.  For some men, beer goggles are all that is required. 

Did Finn chicken out on performing the paternity test?  Next week we will know for sure.  

[KerleyQ]

That nurse is wandering around the hospital thinking "OK, both of the Doctors Finnegan are losing it."  Also, Finn's face in the previews for next week was hysterical.  I rewound just to watch that shit a second time. 

"She's a gold digger. She's a Logan." Bitch, the Logans have their own money. And, for the seven millionth time, Carter was the one who knew about the LLC papers and came up with the idea. Carter. Hope went along with it and supported him in it, but Carter was the driving force. Carter is the one running the company.  Did Steffy not notice that Hope was not sitting in on Carter's meeting with Daphne?  She has to have some inkling that Hope, if she was calling the shots, would not have taken her back on as president. 

I'm shocked that Ridge spent so much time without Taylor surgically attached to him the past two episodes. 

Daphne has never heard the word "subtle" has she? I still wouldn't be surprised if Carter fell for it, though. His main character trait, other than being Ridge's BFF who performs all the Forrester weddings, has been his desperation for female attention. Honestly, I kind of want him to fall for her, and then still not give the company back over to the Forresters to run.  Steffy and Ridge won't be able to comprehend it. 

Oh, look, Bill and Luna are having the exact same fucking conversation they have every single day. This whole angle might have worked a tiny bit better if they hadn't had Luna and Poppy so close when Poppy came to town. They could have written Luna as being kind of on Li's side, in terms of judging Poppy for all of the choices she's made in her life. The story could have been that Luna actually stayed with Li's family at various times over the years because Poppy was off doing her own thing, and that she had grown close to Li and she resented the times her mother would show up and take her away from that sense of security and family. Maybe have them start growing closer when Luna thinks Bill is her father and she has a chance at some kind of actual family life, and then she snaps when she finds the letters from Tom and realizes that her mother's choices and lies are going to fuck her life up again. 

[Snaporaz]

When Steffy leaned over to look at the designs, I thought Hope might get a contact buzz from the remnants of La Shnoz's perfume and realize that Steffy and Shnoz must have been together before they got to FC, this exposing their alliance.  No such luck, though.  

This version of Bill is reminding me of when he was with Sheila and we couldn't figure out why.  This just isn't Bill.  Bill doesn't make excuses for bad behavior.  Bill would say, "suck it up, Buttercup, and get over it."

This! I thought the same thing yesterday. I think he's playing the long game with Luna-tic, but I can't figure out what he's up to. It makes no sense why he's harboring her. Why would he confide deep dark secrets to her that he wouldn't even share with "my Katie?" 

Daphne is just laughable. Her acting is atrocious! I can't believe Carter is going to be tempted to cheat on Hope with her.

TN should teach a masterclass on facial expressions. 🤣😂When he's trying to look pensive, it comes across as constipation.

I keep noticing the similarities, too. But, like you, I just can't get why he'd do it. The Sheila thing ultimately didn't result in her going to jail. And, the authorities already had what they needed on Luna. Even if they didn't, and needed a confession, she already detailed exactly what she did when Bill was visiting in jail, and she has again since being in his house. I can't imagine what more anyone would need. 

I think this really is them thinking they're salvaging Luna. They're painting Poppy as a monster and having Bill play sympathetic ear to how Luna says she suffered being raised by her, because they think the audience is going to be on board with however they eventually free her. And I can get wanting to salvage her somehow, because the actress is good, but I just don't think this is the way.

I would hope so because he's held a years long grudge with Hope and dukes it out with Sally over far less.

[nkotb]

This show is so frustrating, starting with the pacing. Steffy begs to come back to Forrester, & apparently later that day (she’s wearing the same outfit ~ green pants & print shirt she begged in) she’s working in the office she caught Hope “seducing” Finn in. That’s dang good HR, they work fast. 

This $Bill plan is so stupid. 1) How does he think no one is ever going to just drop in? Has he met Katie? 2) They started it Friday, but what’s the plan if anyone visits Luna in prison? Tell them she always has diarrhea & is unavailable? Just so dumb. 3) When are we going to find out how $Bill, who got Sheila to confess to murder, on-camera, but couldn’t get that to stick, snapped his fingers & got Luna released? Ridiculous.

I don’t know how to say this in a way that’s not insulting to the actress, but this “Daphne is the most seductive seductress to ever seduce” is just falling way flat. Perhaps it’s the lack of charm, or the constant smell-her-before-they-see-her, or maybe it’s my least favorite quality in any human: inexplicable arrogance. Whatever, she’s just not being well-received. Honestly, they could’ve gone a different route, & brought RB in as a tweaked version of this character, (& left Taylor off-screen as they should’ve) & let RB’s natural charisma take center stage the way DD’s natural charisma & charm has made $Bill such a great character. It would’ve gone way better than it currently is going, Or, they could’ve gone for brass & tried to get Vanessa Marcil, who has charisma jumping off the screen. Huge missed opportunity.

Is Finn pregnant? At least that would be something new.

Nope, but he did just find out he’s a father! 🤣

I thought for sure they’d show Finn reacting to the test without showing the results, I am shocked that they told us that Finn is the father today.

Can’t wait for Steffy to find out that Hayes shares DNA with both Sheila & Lunatic!

[nilyank]

Since Steffy believes that adult children should push their parents to be together as a couple, Luna should encourage Finn and Poppy to be together.

[CountryGirl]

I know I have been salivating this for some time but seeing it actually start to unfold is a thing of beauty. I cannot WAIT for Steffy to find out and have all the nastiness she's unleased upon on anyone named Logan and even several named Forrester come crashing down upon her because Karma...is a bitch.

It did make me a little "ew" to learn that Poppy and Finn willingly jumped in the sack and she was his first vs them both being intoxicated, but I'm shruggy guy about it now. 

Also, Tanner, you brought and served the derp face that I thought only Scott could do justice to.

The sweat and the tears and the snot running down his face that he swiped away with the back of his hand were just chef's kiss.

 

[ScoobieDoobs]

So much stupid sh*t going on today, I feel like I'm losing brain cells watching this idiotic nonsense.  I can't take the babble btw $Bill & Luna.  Btw, what was Luna wearing?  Her pants looked like it was made out of a sweater.  WTF?

So is Poopy gonna look for more answers on what's become of Luna?  That scene of her in the jail was so friggin' dumb.

How many more close-ups are we gonna get of doofy/goofy looks on Finn's mug?  Enough of this already!

So Steffy couldn't contain her inner a-hole from bursting out, eh?  It was even obvious to Hope, who's been acting like such a moron lately.  And Carter is an even bigger moron.  He looked like a total fool with Daphne LePew.  Her manner continues to be cringey, embarrassing & just icky to watch.  He should be demanding her to back the f*ck off!  But instead, he's smiling his head off.  Blech!

Oh happy times are here again for Finn is Luna’s father.  Stuffy’s mind will be 🤯🤯🤯 but only if Finn tells her. Of course he will because he tells Stuffy everything.  

Is Daphne perfume going to come with a warning label?  Use may cause unwanted attention from random men (women).  

I was betting that with Daphne slinking around Carter she was going to say, is that a zucchini in your “pocket” or are you just glad to “see” me.

[KerleyQ]

I could not stop laughing at Finn's sweaty, snotty reaction faces as he read his covid paternity test results. I can't believe I accurately called this so long ago. I had lost hope it was going to actually happen, but they came through. I cannot wait for Princess Superbitch to get the news. She was in full on smug mode today, so this will be fun. 

Speaking of here smugness, when she tried lording over Hope with the whole "this arrangement isn't going to work..." I so wanted Hope to say "oh, well, too bad then, I'll let Carter know you don't think this will work."  For fuck's sake, Hope, stop letting her posture all over you. 

I have no real interest in Hope/Carter as a couple, so I don't really give a shit, from that angle, whether he succumbs to Pepe LePew. But, I do think it would be hilarious if he'd lean in, like he's going to kiss her, and then whisper "you can go tell your friend this obvious ploy isn't working."  

[SweePea59]

Ugh, the "actress", and I use that term loosely, who plays Ploopy is the plits. I did not miss her one bit. Sure, she can make a guilty face, but that's the entire extent of her "acting" ability. Before this gig was she even around human beings before? That scene in the jail was more embarrassing than Daphne Le Pew throwing herself at Carter in an attempt to seem seductive. 

The scene with Stuffy and Hope made me almost turn off the show for good. Not entertaining, just cringe.

And Luna-tictac and $Bill? Stupid, too unrealistic and beyond boring.

Thank goodness for the comic relief from Finn!
