Bring back Julius and Viv and lose Liam and Ivy

What pointless filler with her in that wedding dress looking like Steffy. I'd rather she stalk him in a clown suit or better yet, I'd rather not see either of them.

Amen! Those were ridiculous scenes. It's a waste of time showing the same old tired Liam and Ivy. Why would she just be standing there looking like a fool in that shameless wedding dress?

The only thing that made the episode interesting was the Ridge/Quinn/Wyatt scene. But that just shows that Wyatt has a new enemy. But I would like to see more of Julius and Viv it's time to really develop those characters.

Julius has been the best character on the show in 2016, but they clearly have no intention of giving significant screen time to someone like that.

Ivy was a great character too for awhile. Ivy and Liam the first time around was great. Then they ruined her by making her desperate and man-crazy. The scene with the wedding dress was really pointless.

Liam and Ivy are relevant characters with storylines that contribute to the show. Julius and Viv's relevance comes only through their status as Sasha, Nicole, and Maya's parents/stepmother, not in their own right.

So? They can definitely use them more. I think it's just the producers not knowing what to do with them. Back in the winter and spring months we got to see a lot more of them and now they just barely show them, but yet you have people like Liam and Ivy who say the same continuing dialogue over and over again. What's the point of that?

LOL bold and beautiful IS characters (all characters) just saying the same thing over and over again for weeks on end.
I think the problem is either the writers are in capable of continuing multiple story threads at once, so focus on them one at a time while the others are in limbo for months, until they are picked up exactly where they left off as though no time has passed.
Either that, or the writers think the audience is incapable of following multiple storylines at once, which is in itself almost insulting.
The fact that the show is only half an hour a day could also compound the problem but really, if the show was an hour long it would just mean the characters would all be repeating the same dialogue twice as much.
