I feel like the story is not advancing, like we are stuck in quicksand. Anyone else feel that way? It's been dragging and dragging.

I assume it's all one, big story, right? Except now we have Eric's story, but for the most part what has even happened in this SL? I feel like nothing has happened for months. I need something to happen and I need an advancement forward.

So far, Hope is in limbo as she has been for months. Thomas, too. Liam, too. Steffy and Finn also. Just limbo, limbo, limbo.

A friend said to me she feels like the show is throwing everything up in the air to see what sticks. She said the story seems disjointed to her and from one day to the next the characters contradict themselves. Is that the same thing as stuck? I don’t know.

I mean, that's all happening, too. It's day after day, the same thing. Like the last time we saw Deacon and Sheila, they were doing that same damn thing and talking about the same damn thing. No plot advancement. Sheila saved Kelly but then what? No plot advancement, just Steffy sitting around waiting for Sheila to attack her.

It's crazy. In the past, Steffy would have flown right up in Sheila's face about this.

Remember the days when characters made the rounds to tell others how they felt? Hell, Hope and Steffy have not even talked about Hope's divorce! Insane.

I agree.
Usually characters would talk to each other much more.
Wouldn´t Brooke at least have talked to Liam by now? To tell him too that he has to save the marriage?
Brooke knows about Liam wanting Steffy. The real Brooke would have talked to him immediately after learning this.

Yes, I was very surprised to hear the papers hadn't been filed. I thought Liam was saying it was because they wanted to tell Beth first, but STILL I don't think they are filed. I guess it's still the same day? But then again, one time Ridge and Brooke didn't file for like 8 months! the Shauna SL.

with Sinn, for real, they need to move that along. Steffy is literally just sitting in the house like a sitting duck. WTH?

Crazy I know!!

I also thought the LOPE divorce filing was delayed because LIAM wanted to tell BETH. There was no way I believed LOPE was going to reunite after everything LIAM said to STEFFY.

The guy has thrown his HOPE GOOGLES in the trash and is now sporting the PERFECT STEFFY GOOGLES!!! No going back from that:lol

The SHAUNA and RIDGE SL took forever to settle.

And don’t get me started on STEFFY…. If this whole ordeal was about KELLY nearly drowning, I’d understand but what is she doing on ERIC’s couch for this long entertaining LITTLE PUKE, I will never know???
I mean no one has seen SHEILA and they are all still scared. Come on…

I can’t even believe that HOPE & STEFFY haven’t had a long in-depth discussion about ROME, THOMAS & the divorce.

Someone please make sense of it for me….

Because sitting here I’m wondering what has ACTUALLY happened in all these weeks after ROME….

Hope and steffy haven't talked about it, brooke and Steffy haven't talked about it, Taylor and Brooke, either. Liam and Thomas haven't . That is strange for Bold.

So far, Hope is in limbo as she has been for months. Thomas, too. Liam, too. Steffy and Finn also. Just limbo, limbo, limbo.

I am just tired of this whole mess on the show...tired of the Thope SL...which has amounted to a cup of spit...most of it from Hope directed at her daughter's face. Tired of Liam being a sanctimonious turd...he needs to stop it and get back to being the protagonist of the SL. I am liking Finn, but he cries way too much. I am tired of Steffy just sitting on that couch afraid of her own shadow and saying that she cannot be with Finn because he has Sheila's DNA....that ain't going to change so she needs to quit yapping about it and go and file for divorce if she cannot be with him as long as he is Sheila bio-child.

I will never ever tune in to watch Hope bang Totally Obsessive Moron....they make my skin crawl....and I have no idea how they can ever be viable given the evil he committed against her, Beth, Liam and Brooke. I won't watch Leffy either it that is how it goes, they don't make my skin crawl....I just don't like them together.

I will be tuning in for Eric and the fashion SL only....the rest I can FF'd. I am looking forward to more Bridge, absolutely no foul smelling Thope...and zero Leffy. I am glad JMW is going to be off canvas, that means we at least won't have to watch Liam make anymore of an ass out of himself trying to get a wife to leave her husband. I might tune in for Finn telling Sheila to GTH.

I think the stall is because of JMW's impending maternity leave. But the story has advanced very little. Of late the show has been only telling one story at a time, with different legs as opposed to the old shows having two main plots and one minor one going all at the same time. It was more exciting and made viewing easier for fan who liked certain stories but achieved overall great viewership. Why did that change?

All I know is I don't want Sinn to break up. I don't want Liam to get Steffy. I want Hope to find herself and be done with taking crumbs from Liam the little puke. And I want Liam all alone for a good bit.

yes, it does feel that way but that's because it is one big story or what they call a 'long story', and jmw's leave is impacting it
because steffy is part of the story, that's why they're starting a second story now with eric/rj/ridge
