I wish they weren't disclosing location shoot reunions (Spoilers)

So annoying... Now we basically know Bridge will reunite in Rome. Why are they disclosing these things like 5 weeks in advance? They did the same last year with Steffy and Finn in Monaco. The audience already knew exactly how the story would end, several weeks in advance. They revealed that Steffy and Finn would reunite in Monaco; there was no more reason to enjoy the story for me. I was bored the entire time. It backfired on the writers big time if I remember well, because the unexpected parts (Tridge kiss and Sheacon's discussion) completely overshadowed this lame, predictable reunion. :sleep

What's so fascinating about Brooke and Ridge reuniting for the 20th time? All this label switch, CPS call, parent trap... and all is forgiven and forgotten in a few weeks. Where is the fun when the audience already knows they will get back together in Italy? I sure hope they have something unpexpected in store for Hope Thomas Liam and Steffy, and they DON'T reveal anything until the week before it airs. They better make this reveal about Thomas-Hope epic, with drama, blood and tears.

They do these international shoots to gainviwers. While the ratings weren’t amazing, I have heard several newer fans say that's when they started watching. The other soaps don’t do them. Also, Italy loves Bold, and Bridge is a big part of that.
I am with you would rather it all be a secret until it airs but also understand they need ratings. The worst example IMO was revealing Sheila was Finn’s mom before it aired but they got their ratings spike so it worked,

I hope that like Sinn’s reunion the other things happening are really the stories to watch. That was the beginning of Tridge & Sheacon and both led to major stories down the line. Something has to happen with Thomas & Hope and Liam & Steffy. Then back in LA there are other stories simmering. Hopefully we only know a tiny bit of the story.
