I'm writing an essay on B&B and can't get access to previous episodes so just asking for some extra help from you smart cookies :)
I was just wondering if there were other themes put into the show besides the common 'love' and romance being at the centre of most plotlines. What do you think would be the ones that stand out the most? I personally think it is love - almost every storyline I can think of has to do with either love or romance between two, or sometimes three, people (i.e. Brooke/Taylor/Ridge love triangle). Also, what specific techniques have been used commonly in episodes to enhance these feeling and emotions regarding the ideas and issues in the show? From almost all that I can remember, there are usually alot of techniques with the camera; including PLENTY of close-ups, mainly on Brooke's hilarious tears!
Is there anything else? I think the main points include the stereotypical characters and outrageous plot. PS: Which eps do you think are significant?
Thanks!
=)

"Love" may be stretching it a bit. The main focus is Family. The Forresters, Logans and I can't remember Sally's last name. The families interaction is the focal point. They add people and or families as needed.

One of the greatest story lines was the one where the genuis William Bell brought the character Shelia Carter over from the Young and the Restless. and he created one of the best story lines which again went on and off for years on the show. Shelia brought nothing but despair, heartache, and doom to the Forrester family. Watching Stephanie and Shelia together was always suspenseful ,dramatic, and could hold my interest forever.

This show is all about cheating, and Brooke is the slutt. She has slept with all the brothers and the Dad. I took a break from watching it for about 5 years, then started up again, nothings changed. She's actually back with Ridge again.

music--brooke and ridge have a theme called unforgetable. that is used a lot-this past summer we were tortured...I mean, treated in some ways to Rick/Phoebe/Constantine singing. I like Rick's voice; Phoebe's is ok but I am not a fan of constaine...
power--stephanie is a bully, to put it mildly. She tries to exert power by any means necessary...
also, check Mr. Smarty Pants.org or com. he does a daily summary of the episodes...
tears-brooke's one perfect tear...watch for that
