The Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Liam Considers Bill’s Offer, Chooses Freedom Over Steffy (https://www.celebdirtylaundry.com/2018/the-bold-and-the-beautiful-spoilers-liam-considers-bills-offer-chooses-freedom-over-steffy/)

Why should we care about The Bold and the Beautiful? Well, we shouldn't. But the article compares a current BATB storyline to DS.

Well, Bill and Liam are respectively the son and grandson of the James Storm character, so there is a connection there as well.

OK. I knew Jim Storm had played Bill Spencer, but I've never watched BATB, so I didn't know the familiar connection.

Never really watched the show either. That's just one of the odd (and sometimes very odd) pieces of trivia that I somehow managed to absorb.

believe it or not i watch B&B daily (with some old ladies) in my company cafeteria...

that assessment of the current storyline and any connection to DS at all is beyond a stretch. there's no "time jumps" or "alternate personalities". it's classic soap opera tropes: temporary amnesia. flashbacks. blackmail.

and Bill Spencer is more JR Ewing than "Barnabas Collins".

in fact the plot is very, very much a lift from the classic 'Dallas' potboiler "who shot JR?" with most of the cast serving as a series of red herring "suspects" before the true identity of the shooter was revealed.

i guess it's cute someone at that infamously unreliable clickbait site gave DS a nod but it's really not there.  [snow_huh]

Until I got the Google link to the article, I'd never heard of the site. Thanks for the heads up that it's unreliable. I'll keep that in mind in the future.  [snow_smiley]

i think you'd have to watch Bold to realize how unreliable it is. they post false "spoilers" every day.
