[QUOTE="Rove, post: 263150, member: 100"] But is it that the networks don't care or the viewer? Watching B&B on Friday in which Steffy learns Finn is the father of her unborn child was boring to watch. Why is B&B still dishing out this trash which has been done to death in all soaps. Articles suggest B&B ratings - and others - have shrunk. I would have thought with Covid-19 lockdowns the reverse should have happened. If the ratings are falling this implies viewers no longer care for the stories and characters/actors the producers seem to think is working. Why do producers/writers have a hard time acknowledging this? So if the ratings are failing the networks cannot insist on higher fees from advertisers which then has a flow-on effect with budgets and what is presented on screen. And at the moment this really shows with the never ending Liam/Steffy/Hope and Finn story. The creative types behind the scenes are lazy because they are simply rehashing what we've already witnessed in days gone by with B&B with Brooke/Ridge and Taylor. I'd imagine Bradley Bell would be a little nervous because I'd suspect the number crunchers at CBS at a moments notice might decide to cancel the series. And if they did...it wouldn't be missed.
