Bold and the Beautiful soap opera bitches

It's been going on for 30 years. This is the lamest soap opera that has ever existed.

R1 I don't think it will ever end. This latest storyline has to be the most pathetic of them all.

This show is genius for dragging storylines out FORRRR-EVERRRRRRRRRR

What ever teh Bells touch goes to hel!

I think they’re hinting at a polyamory situation. Is that a soap first?

R5 You mean between Tay, Ridge and Brooke? Instead, I'd write them as lesbians and shake the whole show up. Ridge can go "figure" his shit out in Siberia.

R3 Yes. Remember when Thomas was hiding the truth from Hope about Beth and manipulating her to marry him? They dragged that sucker out for almost a year and a half. I stopped watching after that. Only started rewatching in the fall.

The constant returns of Sheila are ludicrous.

R8 She used to be great. Decades ago. Now she's just lame and boring. Bunkering with Deacon and that being dragged out for a year. Cutting her own toe off, faking a "death by bear attack" was the most ridiculous point that I think the writers are just parodying it now.

I only watch to see Tanner Novlan wearing as little as possible.

They pair up the hunk playing Carter with everyone.

He’s now with squirrel face Katie.

why do you think it has such great international appeal?

it went to # 2 for the first time 30 years ago.

Why does it do so well? how did it outlast all the others?

Here's some good shit from about 17 years ago...

Her'es

I’d pay big bucks to sample what’s beneath those blue trunks. Yum. Carter boning/topping Tanner. BOFO ratings.

R7, baby Beth was born and presumed dead in January 2019.

Little blabbermouth Douglas said baby Beth is alive in late July 2019.

IT wasn't a year and a half.

R10, is Tanner Novlan the Liberty Mutual insurance commercial actor?

They’re going with the idea of Brooke and Taylor not throwing themselves at hobo Ridge at least for now and becoming friends. Brooke and Taylor don’t have to be friends to extricate themselves from Ridge, so this is stupid. It’s all part of the Logan worshipping the other characters must do. Taylor you’ve been fighting with Brooke for thirty years. Please. Plus Pam the idiot saying on the Christmas show that Stephanie would’ve wanted Brooke and Ridge together. She wanted him with Taylor practically every second.

R15 yes.

Thank you, R17.

LOL Carter wanted nothing to do with Paris, but is all over Katie? Shurrrrrr. They'd be better of pairing Carter with Zendey or whatever the F his name is.

'Hobo' Ridge is the funniest name ever given to someone.

He's horribly miscast. I have a whole new respect for Bell Sr. and why he hired Moss; you didn't know what his Ridge was thinking. That was the point.

Enigmatic.

The kid playing Douglas is the best actor on the show.

R19, The writers keep having Carter tell Katie how “beautiful” she is.

R22 all part of the Logan bowing and knee scraping every one else must do. Heather Toms head is gigantic anymore, and the other day it looked like her makeup had been put on with a spatula. Middle age has hit her hard. So no Carter, she ain’t beautiful.

Katie is CERTAINLY no Paris.

It's hard to put it into words but Paris is just so dynamic and she has great energy. She lights up the room every time she walks in.

I can see why the Forresters want to her to both give input into the designs and model them.

She's just great!

That bull dyke Stephanie should come back from the dead.

Preferably when Brooke is visiting her grave.

Picture it: Stephanie’s zombie cunt fingering fingers wrapping around the Slut from the Valley’s leg and dragging her STI-ridden ass down to hell with Big Steph. It would shoot straight to #1 in Moldova!

They should stop with the Thomas acting "crazy" again or is obsessed with Hope and try something different, like him coming out as bisexual for example.

Thomas should become obsessed with Liam

Did the actress who played Quinn quit or was she fired?

Despite the age difference, her love scenes with Carter were hot.

The other day, Paris looked like she'd glued yellow yarn to her head. I had second hand embarrassment the rest of the afternoon.

R28 she quit. They offered her recurring status, but she declined.

Here's Lawrence Saint Victor (who now plays Carter) on his former soap Guiding Light.

Oh, and the guy beside him you may recognize as Murray Bartlett.

I don't know or remember why they suddenly took their clothes off but there you have it.

I prefer Love is a Many Splendored Thing. Or The Doctors.

r32 is posting from 1969.

What, R32? No Secret Storm? Everyone is watching it.

Wow r31. I think I got a bit of a chub watching that. Great fun! Thanks! I’m beginning to think Thomas (manbun boy) and chocolate fantasy boy Carter. Yum.

Dump soy boy Liam and Hope. Two of the most UNSEXY characters ever.

LSV has to have some serious BBC.

R21 yes!

R27 That would be the greatest move the show could make.

Unfortunately, B&B's greatest popularity is in international markets, including a lot of places in the Middle East that are virulently anti-gay.

I believe those cultures look differently at transgenderism which is why B&B did that story years ago. But they'll never do a Luke/Noah or Sonny/Will type thing on B&B. It is the truly weird parallel universe in which no gay people are in the fashion industry. LOLOLOL

No love for Sean Kanan?

A friend of mine wrote for B&B years ago and says Sean is a really nice guy.

I’m too young to watch it and I just turned 50

R12 - My theory is that the show being so popular internationally is what has ruined the storytelling. I think they oversimplify everything and play the stories so slowly in effort to keep it as an easy watch for non-American viewers… kid of like how Cats was such a successful Broadway show for years because it was a much easier experience for tourists who may not have been fluent in English.

R39 love Sean. He’s the hottest guy on the show and he’s in his 50s. Wish they would do a gay themed story involving him, but they’ll never go there with anything gay. All the love, lust and adoration must be directed towards Brooke, Donna and Katie. It’s probably in everyone’s contract.

R39 Is your friend Patrick Mulcahey?

Sean was very hot in his younger days. It seems he went a little Trumpy/righty in the last decade or so, though. Probably no more so than the average Joe from Western PA (where Sean grew up).

R41 You may have a point. They do it very "telenovela" style.

R43, No, he’s not Patrick. Back in the day, my friend hung out with Sean Kanan, Kristoff St. John and Michelle Stafford.

He was also fuck buddies with an older B&B actor, they would rendezvous about once a month at a remote motel.

Oh, I think you mentioned that bit before here on the DL. When we were talking about how [said older actor] has a huge penis.

Tanner Novlan was looking mighty fine today. I hope Sheila kills Steffy instead of Finn.

[quote] Heather Toms head is gigantic anymore

What does that mean?

Poor Heather Tom. All those years of suffering from Pinched Sphincter Syndrome with no relief in sight.

Maybe Sarah McLachlan should have done a commercial for THAT.

Her head size in proportion to the rest of her body.

I miss Stephanie.

R51 Oh, fuck yes. At least she took the piss out of the self important characters. Her cuntery was fun to watch.

R47, And not even a trace of a scar after being shot.

[quote] Her head size in proportion to the rest of her body.

R50/R23, what does “anymore” mean when you wrote “ Heather Toms head is gigantic anymore”?

R54 compared to when she was younger. Jesus, is English your first language?

It's hard to believe that international sensation B&B can't afford another leading man for these women to fight over.

Are "We don't need a man" Brooke and Taylor about to become B&B's Otalia? .. Baylor or Trooke?

And what's up with Dollar Bill? .. Is Sheila his dominatrix or something? .. If so, maybe we can see him locked in a cage wearing a black leather jockstrap with a dog tail up his ass waiting for Sheila to peg him.

btw - Carter and Katie would be hot if if it were just Carter standing there half-naked.

Carter was pinging hard today.

I have to wonder if that's Deacon in a Bill mask? (I know, I know, but after Nick wore the JT mask on Y&R, I don't count anything out)

It was a nice play on Bill's history with Taylor.

[quote] It was a nice play on Bill's history with Taylor.

Though, someone needs to remind Bill that the three-year statute of limitations for assault with a deadly weapon in California was over in 2021.

He was talking to Steffy and Finn, two of the dumbest characters on soaps.

I used to love B&B when I was a kid. There was a message board I’d visit where people were either “Brookies” (supporters of Brooke and Ridge) and “Taylorettes” (supporters of Taylor and Ridge). The 90’s and early 2000’s were the best, but the show went off the rails around the time Susan Flannery went full lesbo and Hunter Tylo returned with a butchered face.

I officially quit the show when it started flirting with the idea of Brooke and Thomas. I also can’t stand that actress who plays Steffi. She looks like a Russian hooker, which is a shame, because she started getting the bad plastic surgery at a relatively young age.

Anyway, here’s a link of one or the best scenes of all time (Stephanie had learned Brooke was pregnant with Deacon’s baby, and she was insisting Brooke marry Whip to spare Bridget the pain of learning the truth)…

I stopped watching this show about 24 years ago. I recall the episode. Yes, it was a Sheila-centric episode, when that storyline was still somewhat fresh.

It was 1998, and Sheila had gotten the better of Stephanie, Amber, and Maggie and was seen riding out of Dodge in her car with Mary.

Not much else interested me on the show at that point in time, so I thought that was a good end point.

I'm still aware of who the characters are and have heard/read enough from other sources over the years to know I'd never be interested in getting involved in watching Bradley Bell's mess.

Brad Bell is using basically a half dozen stories his dad did when the show was created. He does NOT know how to write anything else, and he does NOT have any sort of imagination.

It is a terrible show.

Always was, always will be.

........

One of my favorite memories was being in grade school with a friend whose watch had a tv remote on it. We were in the middle of class and he switched the TV on during an episode of B&B. It was around the time Sheila was poisoning Stephanie with mercury pills.

Haven't watch since our sister, Susan Flannery, retired.

R67, Does anyone think she still tunes in?

I doubt she tuned in even when she was on.

She was too busy watching The Fosters, The Grove, and Venice: the Lesbian Series.

R61

I love that scene too. God I miss Stephanie!

One of the best scenes

If Bill is trying to turn a corner in his life, it would make far more sense if he went out and found himself a cute twink with a tight hole who's into worshiping a hot daddy.

Instead, he's hooking up with musty, sixty-something Sheila, Deacon's sloppy-seconds. .. This is almost funny, and rather than lightning and thunder, they should have used a laugh track.

Who plays Taylor now?

Krista Allen, r73.

If Bradley goes there with Brooke & Taylor, Krista can put her lesbian experiences from all those "Emmanuelle" films to good use!

Ron Moss...Speedo. 1992.

Sheila and Bill "negotiate" with Finn and Steffy. Sheila goes free or Taylor goes to prison!!

;;;;;;;;

Sheila. Bill. And a very bloody kiss. I cannot wait to see Bill suffer the misery that is Sheila Carter.

It was all a ruse, Sheila has been arrested.

Yeah, I was thinking Bill was playing her. But have those two even shared a scene or storyline in 20 years?

R80, Now that Sheila knows about the Taylor/Bill shooting, won’t she tell the authorities and the truth will be revealed?

R82 Sheila has no evidence other than what Bill told her. Hearsay. And often the authorities won't waste time trying to prosecute a case, if the victim doesn't want to cooperate, especially given how long ago the shooting happened. (And now's the time when they could even bring up the real-life, California statute of limitations mentioned above to shut Sheila down.)

There are a lot of Sheila/Bill rumors. One of the rumors is that this is NOT Bill (ugh). BB does not do Masks/Twins storylines well.....But I DO think this is real. I don't think Bill is playing Sheila. He also said they have been living together for weeks.. Sheila and Bill are going to team up to make their exes Eric and Brookes lives miserable.

Bill is a character who has long been played out. Should have been sent off on a worldwide trip several years ago.

But as is, we're stuck with Bill and this Sheila storyline seems like a desperate way to use up Don Diamont's guarantee.

Perhaps Sheila has hypnotized Bill or memorized Bill. She's done that before with the police officer (Mike?) who helped her escape.

They could have had him plunge into the icy waters of Big Bear Lake.

Bill might be interesting if he started a rentboy business, and always had two or three of them living in his mansion while he trained them for service.

He'd then hold auctions among other wealthy men on The Westside. This would be like a Boy For Sale network.

Stupid and lame storyline to extend Kimberlin Browns time on the show. She’s been living with Deacon for freaking MONTHS. How exactly has she been fitting Bill in all this time? I know she snuck out a few times but it doesn’t add up. And why didn’t she just go live with him INSTEAD of Deacon? I thought he was playing Sheila too, but then he blackmailed Steffy again today. I’m hoping Taylor just turns herself in. Nothing will happen to her anyway. Two cunts-Bill and Sheila. Then everyone can laugh in their faces when their blackmail goes down in flames.

Taylor killed Darla. Taylor shot Bill. Taylor should have been in prison years ago.

R89 Brooke Logan

It was Brooke, Ridge, Caroline at the start. Then they killed of Caroline and brought in Taylor. It has been a combination of the three ever since. They did take a break where Brooke married Eric Forrester which was brillant. Stephanie who hated Brooke, worked to get her and Ridge back together so she could have Eric back, which she never got.

When do Brooke & Taylor invite Karen & Danielle Spencer over to play Beach Blanket Bingo?

Whatever happened to that transsexual character?

Caitlyn Jenner is on another show.

R93 Around Christmas 2018, Maya returned from Paris and announced that she and Rick Forrester were divorcing. .. While questioned by both Brooke and her parents, Maya gave no specific reasons as to why their marriage failed. .. After that, Maya appeared in a few episodes over the course of the next six months, then disappeared by May 2019. (Typical Bradley Bell.)

My first guess would be Rick met one those super-hung Algerian guys in Paris, leaving Maya high and dry and questioning whether she should have had the final operation.

Typical Bell show M.O. They do a controversial storyline and then dump the characters. It is rare for them to keep them. A few instances were Tricia Cast as Nina and Kimberlin Brown as Shelia.

Is Brooke a great grandmother yet?

[quote] Caitlyn Jenner is on another show.

Caitlyn stunk up Genoa City a few years ago.

Sheila and Bill being all breathy and whisper-talking to each other in the visiting room was hilariously bad.

R99 = It's funny you should say that. CLIP = Almost exactly 30 years ago. Sheila and BRAD. I could barely hear them reciting some of their lines. BB is releasing their past seasons on youtube. 3 episodes a day. Fun.

Now how funny would it have been if Shelia and Bill stopped and said "I feel like we did this 30 years ago"

Bill is going to get Sheila pregnant with her 6th child. I hope they all come home for Christmas.

Shelia gets pregnant if a guy looks at her. She has mutant fertility powers. That being said, sixty-year-olds should not be having babies unless you are Sally Spectra.

I never realized what a pronounced lisp Don Diamont has always had. You would think an actor would have done something about that. Smh.

That was Joe Lando playing the judge who released Sheila.

That's the same Joe Lando who played Jake Harrison on OLTL in 1990-92. And then he was on Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman

Hey Steffy! Why do you look 20 years older than your mother?

Will Scoche Marin bring her Kay Chancellor over to B&B to face off with Sheila?

r107 Soche is the new Shelia!

Darlings, you heard it here first! Scoche will be the new Steffy!

So Brooke and Taylor are gonna be lezzies now???

[quote] Darlings, you heard it here first! Scoche will be the new Steffy!

No. She'll actually be playing the resurrected, "dead" twin, "Phoebe Forrester."

Phoebe didn't really die. She was just lapsed into a coma, and Grandma Stephanie arranged for her to be transferred to a secret residence in Santa Monica with a private physician and full-time nurse attending her.

And there Phoebe still lay! ... because Stephanie didn't tell anyone about this secret set-up before she died herself.

The doctor begins to think it's strange that Stephanie hasn't dropped in to visit Phoebe for almost five years. Also, the bank account that was established to fund this covert operation is almost used up.

This story is Bradley's version of the Angela Forrester yarn .. so the question then becomes, is Phoebe really Phoebe?

Brooke & Taylor eat each other out!

Braylor!

The upcoming scene where Brooke & Taylor go shopping for strap-ons together should be fun. Apparently, Brooke is somewhat dissatisfied with the fit and after a few test runs decides that Forrester Creations should design its very own line. Taylor sees this as an opportunity for designer, Thomas, who's "been known to enjoy a good pegging." Brooke enthuses, "Rick, too!"

Tonight on Cinemax: The Bold and the Beautiful. . .AFTER DARK!

I hope Karen Spencer and her wife Danielle are invited to the housewarming!

Spoiler for Friday, February 17: Ridge smells Brooke’s pussy on Taylor’s breath.

Does it smell like BeLieF?

Thomas and Bill should try man to man action.

Brooke and Taylor should relocate to Genoa City and incite some lesbian DRAMA!!!!

The lezzys on Y&R are gross. That Mariah is fat.

Mariah's beef curtains are used to close each performance of the Genoa City Opera.

What happened to RJ? Hobo and Brooke’s son. Moved to Key West and nothing further. Fuck Pup for Tinker, Jabottom and Chrissy? Love a gay storyline for Man Bun Thomas, RJ and Liam. Yaaaas, Kween.

RJ moved to Atlanta and became the best friend in Love, Victor on Hulu.

This is almost exactly the 5 year anniversary of RJ leaving the show......"In February of 2018, R.J. disappeared from the canvas, it was said he was away at school, then that he was staying with half-brother Rick Forrester and his wife, Maya Avant, in Paris; whether or not R.J.'s relationship with Coco continued was not addressed"...........video ----->>One of Turpels first appearances---->>RJ saying he wants to be "hot" (45 second mark).

So Katherine and Kimberlin appear to be good friends on social media. Wasn't Kimberlin good friends with Hunter Tylo and then fucked her over or tried to fuck her husband?

Watch out KKL!!!

Joe Lando not only hit a wall but made it crumble into dust......

I’d never trust that Trump loving Kunterlin.

......

R126 Good luck with that. .. KKL's boyfriend "Dominique" has gayface for days ..lol.

And speaking of Tylo ... in case y'all missed that Entertainment Lawyer blind item last month ....

[quote] The Scammers: This actress is a solid A- list when it comes to daytime. When it comes to primetime, she is much further down the list. She would have placed higher on the list if she landed that nighttime soap back in the day. Anyway, she has supplemented her daytime income over the years, but doing all kinds of MLM schemes and is not above getting involved in a pyramid scheme if it pays well enough and there is little chance of her getting into much trouble. Her most recent husband handled all the logistics and social media stuff and the interactions with the fans. The fans are what make it all possible. The fans are the ones who sign up for the ridiculous products and try and sell their own, all for the promise of a signed autograph. If you spend enough, then perhaps the actress will give you a phone call or make a quick video for you. The incentives are endless, as long as the cash keeps piling up. She and her most recent husband split because she discovered that not only was he skimming from our actress, but he was also sleeping with/charming the richest of the rich fans and ended up marrying the daughter of a billionaire. The fact that daughter ended up dead 14 months after the wedding and six months after changing her will, isn't suspicious at all, now is it?

Thanks for the ep R125 . I don't think I was loving B&B back then, but it was 10 times better than it is now. RJ was a hot little fucker, and there was a Ted Capwell sighting near the end.

Furry Todd McKee. Yum.

Yesterday they uploaded the infamous Sheila and Mike episode with the Doberman.

So is Thorsten Kaye taking an extended leave? His Hobo Ridge seems to be MIA.

He's barely been on since the aborted Taylor-Ridge wedding at Thanksgiving. I don't think I've seen him at all since the episodes just after Christmas where Thomas was fired from Forrester .

R134 I thought it was said somewhere that he was supposed to be taking a vacation.

Is this crap still running?

Susan, this crap is still running down your leg.

R136, Call me Mother.

Sue Flannery is of the lesbian persuasion.

One of my favs. Mike, Sheila, the dog and an elevator.

Bell's smartest move was to keep it a half-hour.

If it had been hour, it would have bit the dust sometime between the cancellations of Port Charles (2003) and Passions (2007).

Can't even fathom how bad an hour would be.

[quote]Can't even fathom how bad an hour would be.

When B&B is good, it is fantastic.

But when it's bad, it's god awful.

There doesn't seem to be much middle ground. I was riveted with the Thomas fakes Brooke's call to CPS story and the Taylor-Ridge wedding.

But I am bored beyond belief now. Sheila has turned Bill into a Stepford Husband? YAWN.

I can see watching R133 why Joanna Johnson did not last long in the new role of Hope/Karen during the 1992/1993 season.

She was good, but the writing was not there. Actually, she was excellent at first, creating a brand new character who was as distinctly different from Caroline as any of the classic twin stories featuring other great actresses.

But slowly, Karen became a watered-down version of Caroline. She became so drab and annoying.

The original Caroline was lightning in a bottle. In some European countries, B&B was officially called "Caroline" for its first two and a half years in honor of Joanna Johnson's character.

I have it on good authority that Broadway Show Tunes Thorne was instrumental in turning Karen lesbian.

Bold and the Beautiful production was ahead of its time. Nothing about the early show looks like it's in the '80s. There is a 1990s sensibility there from episode one.

Another surprise is how spunky Brooke is early on. She is an irrepressible tomboy in the first season, and she and Ridge only briefly cross paths in the first 100 episodes.

Even though the pace is faster than the Young and the Restless, the build-up is extremely slow and driven. Classic Bill Bell.

I agree B&B can be really really good when it wants to be. When Brooke and Stephanie were at odds, Brooke going for Ridge and then Eric, the Ridge/Brooke/Caroline triangle (even with Ron Moss' horrific acting), the original Sheila years when she crossed over from Y&R, Brooke creating BeLieF and even Annoying Amber I didn't mind.

His acting was always horrifying, and it got any never worse than when Caroline passed away. Maybe he could act later, but then, expressing grief and making it look believable was beyond him. Soon after the writers decided that Moss was merely a prop to keep the beautiful young women switched on.

Sometimes in those early years, there are dazzling close-ups of Moss's face that show how truly beautiful he was, his lips, eyes, and nose - WOW!

Moss was attractive although I never thought he was conventionally handsome. But I loved his features, same with the first actor who played Thorne. They were beautiful together. It took getting used to with Jeff Trachta because he was so different from the previous Thorne.

Moss had great chemistry with Katherine Kelly Lang and Joanna Johnson (and later, Hunter Tylo).

You can have Ronn. I only had eyes for Clayton.

Brooke and Taylor actually have a child together named Jack that they don't seem to remember.. They will always be connected.

Did Susie Flannery and Joanna Johnson ever bump pussies?

Jeff Trachta was so awkward as Thorne. He can really sing though, and producers obviously saw potential for Thorne and Macy even though their chemistry is extremely non-sexual.

Trachta is like the biggest homo who ever homo’d. Gay as a goose.

It's been a long time since I watched it but probably not much has changed. It has a small cast compared to other soaps, so they tend to repeat the same relationships amd it's bordering on incestuous at times. I think a reason why it's popular overseas is it is short form, the stories and dialogue aren't that complex, the theme is glamorous and it's easy to pick up.

I watched it because sometimes it was so bad it was unintentionally hilarious. But not the same after Stephanie left the show. Every other character is pathetic.

Brooke hasn't been interesting since she was doing mushrooms with Thomas and fucking Oliver at the masquerade ball.

Jeff Trachta actually auditioned for Jack Abbott, he was then offered the role of Throne after the show decided not to renew Clayton's contract. They were going to pair Thorne with Macy and Bobbie Eakes was a singer so they wanted them to be a singing duo on the show. Clayton could not sing.

Is Jeff a homosexual?

r156 Ray? Ray Charles is that you?

The BOLD cast is just loving that Scoche Marin is pulling double duty with them as Katherine Chancellor! Word is that Scoche’s Kay will be paired with John McCook’s Eric. People are commenting that Scoche has successfully replaced Susan Flannery as the show’s grande dame like she replaced Jeanne Cooper over at Y&R! Susan and Jeanne who?

Scoche, you put the "old" in Bold, and the "ew" in Beautiful.

Scoche looks a little too young to play Katherine.

Since Joanna Johnson is always too busy for this show, I'd go with NuKaren Spencer.

Her scenes with Crystal Chappell would be incredible and amazing. Work that jaw, girl!

Did Joanna ever dive into the Flannery snatch?

Which baby will Douglas throw over the cliff first?

Poor Eric, he used to be able to get some hawt ass, like Lauren Fenmore.

This Douglas storyline is so tedious. Normalize Sheila so she can create a fashion company for Bill and give the Forresters a rival. One who might kill them all at any moment but who can cause some damned friction for all the characters. Let her be the new Sally Spectra meets Alexis Carrington meets Kimberly Shaw this show needs. I don't care about yet another custody battle over this morose kid. Send him off to boarding school already.

Sheilas teenage granddaughter is in Genoa City....Lucy...Video Clip. She's the blonde.

r163 that was the rumor. The reason why she left the show, bad breakup with Sue. That and Ronn Moss hated her because she was more popular than him in foreign markets. I think in Greece the show was actually called Caroline.

And later, over different times the show was called "Brooke", "Sally Spectra", "Karen", and "Sheila".

Yes but were their faces on bags of potato chips? For some reason, this show was a huge hit overseas, especially in Italy. Before Sally, Karen or Sheila - it was just Caroline and Ridge, Thorne in love with Caroline from afar. Clarke using Kristen to try to get with Stephanie (lol), Margo trying to get Eric, Eric meeting the love of his life, Beth as a catering help at an engagement party - Donna posing for Bill Spencer's secret porn empire, Katie and her pizza face and Rocco..yet through all of that Caroline was the star of the show.

All the California set soaps did well in Foreign markets. Santa Barbara and Sunset Beach are still popular. I was in Paris before the Pandemic and turned on the TV one day and there was Santa Barbara.

Santa Barbara is HUGE in Paris. Too bad they would be shocked to see them now.

Is Scott Clifton finally coming out?

Scoche sadly died a while back. She felt into Brendad Ickson's vageene and suffocated.

r174 Lies. Sue Flannery heard she was taking her role and ate her.

r173 isn't he a Jesus Freak?

R176 From what I know Clifton is a long-term, vocal atheist. He has videos about this on this on his Theoretical Bullshit channel (some over 10 years old). And I don't think his (non)-belief status has changed, because during the pandemic he was a guest host-commentator on The Atheist Experience podcast. Listeners were so impressed with his commentary that they were calling for his return.

Don't like "Liam Spencer" at all, but Clifton's Theoretical Bullshit channel was actually pretty entertaining. I guess he still does it, but not as actively. I remember during the Prop 8 controversy in California, his video on that subject was a favorite. It's still a good listen.

It would be more believable if "Hollis" were shown flirting with Thomas.

He could invite Thomas to go hiking at Runyon and see what happens.

Thomas is a classic closet case type. Used a woman who have a baby (very 90s gay). Or he is an Incel. The show could run with either storyline.

Scott Clifton likes eating snatch. He’s not gay. He’s a hetero pussy hound.

Scott always comes off bi. He looks like the married guy who has a gay blowjob on standby.

r182 Hey I know that guy!

R179, Who is Hollis?

R184 "Hollis" is the hot waiter at the outdoor restaurant, Il Giardino. He was flirting with that old hag Brooke today. He's been on before. They're using the actor's real first name for the character. He's played by Hollis W. Chambers.

Here's a modeling shot.

I never really watched it but taped the theme song with my VCR circa ‘87, loved the melody. I also thought Bryan Genesse would be the next big thing.

Oh FFS. Brooke & Taylor are going to eat out each others snatch. Just get on with it.

R186 B&B needs to hire more guys like him

Scott is on searchforpussy.com

B&B never seems to pick the right hot guys. That waiter would be perfect. Back when GH hired Antiono Sabato Jr every soap wanted someone like him. For some reason B&B would hire these weird-looking milk toast guys.

R87 - I too thought Bryan Genesse would be the next big thing. He had a look that back then really reminded me of gay porn.

r192 he could not act, his hair was ridiculous and he thought he was going to be the next Chuck Norris.

Yeah, back in the day, Bryan was pretty bad in the acting department.

He seems like a nice man and a good husband and father, though. Plus, he absolutely loathes Dump and is very liberal-supportive, so absolutely nothing like MAGA Chuck Norris on that front.

Jakub's stats say he's 6'0 and 163 lbs.

My kinda guy.

^ Wrong thread.

Scoche Marin was the LIFE. of the party at Y&R’s 50th anniversary party for the cast and crew. Everyone loves her and knows that her portrayal of Katherine Chancellor is the heartbeat of the show. We are so lucky that she will be bringing Kay to BOLD.

r197 She's dead Jim.

R197 = Its not funny anymore. .......btw Hollis is way hotter than Thomas. Recast!!.

So we're supposed to believe that the gorgeous young Hollis is really into Granny Brooke?

R200 Maybe he has a granny fetish?

Honest question....Does anyone know how Deacon got the money to buy the restaurant? I missed that part. Knowing the writers they glossed over it.

It would make sense if Hollis is ho who expect to get something out of, like a new car

Even funnier if he has takes Viagra because he's straight for pay.

R202 While Deacon is saying he "owns the joint," he doesn't really own, own it. He said he scraped the money together for the down payment and found investors. So it sounds like what he actually "owns" are big loans that he has to pay off with interest, as that's why investors invest.

[quote] Deacon: So how did I go from cleaning the toilets to owning the joint? Um, well, I knew the previous owner was looking to get out, and so I put together some investors. I scraped together the money for the down payment, and I am gonna be working day and night to pay it off. But hope, I gotta tell you, I think it’s gonna be worth it. I feel like I finally found my niche after searching for so many years.

Didn't Deacon's fuck buddy Sheila promise him some money for helping her? Maybe she followed through on that, but it would make sense if he didn't tell people that. I could see TBTB leaving that open for later reveal, when she needs him to do something.

R204...Thanks....Sheila got millions in her divorce from Eric. (She was written off the first time and put in the mental hospital) and KM was gone for a year or two). When she came back the story was she spent her money on the house she lived in. She also got away with Massimos Gold Ransom money in 2003. I also believe Sheila (off camera) handed custody of Diana to Massimo and probably got millions for that.

I don’t get it, what about the B&B soap opera bitches?

They're expecting a litter, Rose.

When do Brooke & Taylor bump pussies?

Will Brad Bell hire the obese soap twitter queens to write this show?!?

The stupid fat twitter queens think that they are getting writings jobs at the remaining soaps. They’re too stupid to realize that soaps are firing writers, not hiring them. Fat dumbasses.

I actually like Brooke and Taylor being friends. Their rivalry was getting irritating.

r210 as I understand it, there are different types of writers. The head writer writes the story arcs for long periods. Sort of the 10K foot view of what is going to happen. Then the others flesh it out and the script writers write the dialog. So if I am the head writer I can just write Shelia blows up in a firey bomb mishap after she marries Bill. Then everyone else fleshes it out and writes the scripts.

When is Brooke gonna get her spark back and start planting her pussy on some hot dick?

She's got some hot dick chasing after her right now.

Brooke is switching her entree to Taylor’s snatch. Maybe Krista will show her titties like she did in all those porn movies.

I linked to his YouTube rant that was mentioned in the article and just briefly skimmed through the comments. Sadly, a fair amount of comments telling him - way to go.

During one of Elon's twitter tweaks, his tweets were showing up in my timeline for a while. He fits the pattern of both feeling smug and superior and ranting about cancel culture and snowflakes while completely being a whining snowflake.

Who keeps posting about pussy in this thread over and over. Someones going to get FF.

Brooke , Taylor and Ridge have been having a love triangle since I was about 7 years old. I am now 40 and it is still going on. Amazing

I applaud the show for showing this newfound maturity in Brooke, after 35 years of being a ho and a cunt, but this new bff thing with Taylor is getting on my last nerve. It’s one thing to not fight anymore and be civil and friendly to each other and see IF a friendship develops, it’s another to practically jump in each other laps and start scissoring like the show is doing to them now. The two women never had really anything in common besides Ridge. All part of the long term vision of this show for everyone to worship the Logans, and now Taylor is doing it.

I don't really enjoy the show, but it has been a blessing to not have Thorsten Kaye's sullen ass on screen for the last few weeks.

Thomas was played (at least in subtext) as gay gay gay when Pierson Fode was playing him. It would be a hoot for some social climbing gay - a gay version of Brooke - latched on to Thomas.

Oh god damn. That fucking crazy lunatic KooKoodora at SON is gonna invade the B&B thread because she sniffs lezzy pussy with Brooke & Taylor. Fucking KooKoo invades everything. Ugh! Vee is so fed up.

Kookoo’s posts make no sense. Make her stop rambling!!!! Vee who is in the biz has lost all of his power at SON!!

What biz?

Biz Markie, Rose.

Isn't he dead? That would smell if she was in him.

No, I don’t watch soap operas.

I work during business hours.

Vee, who posts at SON and is in the biz, knows everything. Everything. He hates KooKoodora because she knows more than Vee. Vee is in the biz, you know.

R227 Isn't this what the ladies are watching in the break room during lunch?

Some idiot BB producer said the show is going full steam ahead with a Deacon/Sheila/Bill love triangle. Bad idea. Deacon has always been a throwaway character---just ask Amber, Becky, Macy, Jackie, Bridget, and Nikki. Sheila has a better chance of being on BB 20 years from now than moron Deacon does. Sheila isn't going to give up a mansion for this fool.

That huge fat pig Casey Hutch is writing sample Y&R and B& B scripts. He’s right up Brad Bell’s ass. Fucking moron.

The soap twitter queens are still in deep despair over the death of Nellie Branco.

The soap twitter queens think Miss Jamey Giddens is doing Shakespeare over at Days.

R229 No, the people at my workplace tend to take lunch either in their offices or out at a restaurant. A few will eat in their car, and watch something on their phone.

COVID and office cuntery has killed the concept of an office breakroom, at least where I work.

Today….Darin Brooks (Wyatt) has a new face. Did not recognize him.

Does the guy who plays Deacon wear a rug? They had a tight shot of the back of his head and it looked like it wasn’t glued in properly. Big ol lacy chuck sticking up at the crown of his noggin.

NuRJ

We're going to try with RJ again? Wonder how long this one will last?

Anthony Turpell, the previous RJ lasted, what, 6 months?

Looks like a Helix twink.

Maybe Deacon will breed him.

The best years of B&B were when Brooke ran Forrsters and Stephanie fought with her. Stephanie is gone but can we get Brooke back as ceo?

Let's have the twink seduce Finn.

This would be like an episode of "My Sister's Husband."

Did Anthony Turpell ever marry his boyfriend?

Nein!

I love when Finn goes all butch and tells Steffi, "I'll protect you".

Girl, you walked into an alley and your own mother shot you within seconds. You are not a protector. You are a bullet magnet.

I miss Stephanie. Just as I miss Katherine on Y&R. You need these matriarchs to slap sense into the younger ones. And you need these matriarchs to stir the pot.

Brooke vs. Stephanie, Jill vs. Katherine. They generated stories for years, decades. But they never got boring.

New RJ seems kind of fabulous. I wonder how long it will be before Sheila tells him that Mommy needed a DNA test to figure out which Marone Brother was his bio Dad?.

I don't really think of Kay Chancellor as a "matriarch." In the early days, she only had one adult son, Brock, from a marriage we didn't even see. And he came and went as he pleased. Instead of "mother," Brock usually called The Old Battleaxe, "Duchess." She wasn't very maternal at all. In fact, if I'm remembering correctly, Bell's notes about the character referred to her as a "raging dipsomaniac."

NuRJ looks like one of the kids that never got a front burner story on Degrassi.

WHET Coco?

[quote] WHET Coco?

One of a hundred characters Brad Bell created, handed the show to for three months and then POOF, gone for good because the show needs Ridge/Brooke/Taylor Part 875,894

Sally has talked to Coco, off-camera, several times on Y&R. Most recently a few weeks ago. No reference to where Coco is however.

The Bill reveal was made laughable by Sludge's man bun.

No, we don't Karen. Just you, fattie.

Ugh. I hate that reveal. And Ridge in a man bun is like a decade out of style. And ridiculous on someone his age and with that heavily-wrinkled a face.

So Bill got Sheila out of jail so that he could put her back into jail?

It's so fucking stupid.

I think, with the FBI involved, they are trying to nail her on something bigger, a murder charge, so she stays in prison this time and doesn’t skate. She’s been in prison before and always gets out before long.

I know this is B&B, but IRL, there's only very specific types of murder cases that the FBI gets involved in. A case has to have some kind of "federal" government jurisdiction to it for the FBI to get involved in it.

R257 Shelia came back to town loaded with money, so they may be investigating where she got it, or if she killed somewhat prominent for it. It kind of feels like a rewrite, and maybe the flack they got from Bill teaming up with Sheila was too much. To blackmail the mother of his grandchild for the cunt that is Sheila, may be a bridge too far for the character of Bill.

I consider myself a Sheila Expert. First, she confessed to James that she poisoned her father (the same way she was poisoning Stephanie). James never reported her because she was his patient.....ALSO Ridge (in 2017) got into a fight with Bill. Sheila told Ridge, when they were alone, she was just trying to help. He then told her if she REALLY wanted to help she would get rid of Bill. Then Bill was shot. Ridge confronted Sheila and told her he was going to report her to the cops and SHE told him she would implicate HIM as the person who asked her to shoot Bill (whom she never met before that time). Taylor eventually confessed. The Sheila shooting storyline was then dropped.

Billionaire Massimo is still off canvas. What if Ridge was really in Europe dealing with Massimos mysterious death and suspects Sheila? Sheila could very easily have gotten money from Massimo. If she is telling the truth she is the mother of Diana, Ridge and Finns sister, who would be RJs age by now, and might be financing her birth mother Sheila.

Video. (almost at the end). Sheila admitting to James she offed Daddy with Mercury poisoning. Just like she did Stephanie.

Sheila yarns typically go off the rails at some point, so looks like the crash is now in progress.

This is a shame. I've really been enjoying Sheila's return. I was annoyed that they had her living with Deacon and doing nothing but sitting around the house for four months--they might as well just had her in jail, for fuck's sake--so I was hoping this new freedom would allow her to meddle and do some damage to freaking annoying Steffy if not Liam and Hope. But I guess this might clear the way for Ridge-Brooke-Taylor retread 3,549 or--oh, joy--custody battle #5 between Hope and Thomas over that depressed psycho boy. I'll be tuning out again if/when Sheila gets sent off to prison. Ugh.

R259, so is it possible Sheila was the one who shot Bill, and somehow made Taylor think she did it herself?

R264 It IS possible Sheila did it. But there were rumors Liam might have done it too. But it was dropped after Taylor confessed. But I don't think the show is going to put Sheila in prison again. RUMORS say Sheila is going to play the pregnancy card and claim Bill is the father even though Deacon might be. Yes. I know Sheila is over 50 but so was Sally Spectra......WTF with Ridges ridiculous look?

R265, Is Thorsten appearing somewhere in a production of Les Miserables?

Sally Spectra? The same character fucking Nick Newman while carrying Adam Newman's baby?

R267, No, the OG Sally Spectra.

Kimberlin does an amazing Sally impersonation. If I were the writers, I'd go all old school soap nutty and have Sheila hit her head and wake up thinking she's Sally Spectra. With Bill's money, she could start a fashion house to compete with the Forrester and her criminal past wiped by only-in-the-soaps insanity.

Kunterlin Brown needs to go far far far away.

Kimberlin Brown is a soap legend. She should have five Emmy Awards by now.

Is Kimberly appearing in a starring role on the 50th anniversary of the series that made her? No, that is me, the definitive Katherine Chancellor, Scoche Marin, on THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS, daytime’s #1 daily drama series.

[quote] She should have five DAYTIME Emmy Awards by now.

Fixed.

R272 = Get some new material. Not funny anymore.

I am surprised YR hasn't had a cameo by Sheila yet. She was the original crossover. BB was floundering in the ratings until Sheila and Lauren livened it up. How YR hasn't written a scene where Sheila strolls into Fenmores to gloat to Laurens face is beyond astounding.

Just like color or race, the Emmys should not see time of day.

Sheilas hot son Ryder should come to town. You know Brooke would be bedding him.

Thank the good lord that Kimberlin has zero Emmys.

Bradley said he's not doing anything related to the Sheila messes that were concocted on Y&R, so that would include the lame Sarah Smythe story from which Ryder and Daisy sprung. And recall, Deacon had something to do with that retconned trio, yet as far as I know, he's never mentioned anything to Sheila about his involvement with "Dragon Lady" and the twins.

r279 Y&R changed Shelia into a Phyllis twin so yeah Brad just decided he was not even going to deal with that mess, trying to explain away how she had surgery to change her face to Phyllis then got it again back to Shelia? The FBI would get involved if Shelia was a suspected serial killer..which she is. Kimberlin is a strange bird. She comes in on 100 making friends with everyone, making BFFs with strategic few, then stabbing them in the back at some point. Very much all about eve method. That is why she never last long on any one soap. She becomes so hated as a cast member.The reason she is so good at Shelia, because she is.

Whatever happened to Hunter Tylo? It's like she vanished Into Thin Air. I enjoyed her as an actress. She was a champion for pregnancy law discrimination as well. I admit there were times she chewed the scenery and she had way too much plastic surgery but I'll be damned if she wasn't an iconic scene stealer. I love that scene where Stephanie slapped her and she replied that she would regret what she did. She had moments where she was really really effective.

She said she had an affair with Ronn Moss.

....

What happened to Thorsten Kaye? I saw a photo of him on Twitter and he's morphing into Mr. French from Family Affair. Nothing like he was on AMC.

If they even hinted to Tylo that they were bringing back Brown then she would have passed. Brown testified against her in her custody case with Michael Tylo claiming she was an unfit mother.

Hunter Tylo may be a bit nutty but I respect her for not backing down from Aaron Spelling. It was absolutely ridiculous that she was fired for being pregnant. That Aaron even allowed that to happen is astonishing but she definitely had a case against him. One of his dumbest moments.

If that happened nowadays he would be canceled and absolutely eviscerated on social media. It's actually a bit sad that Tylo got little support back then but Spelling still had a lot of power I guess.

r285 the funniest part was she was recast with Rinna. Rinna was called to testify because she got pregnant after she got the role.

Poor Bill !! Pimping himself out to catch Sheila.

The dialogue between Sludge and Dollar Bill was hilarious.

By the end of the episode, I was looking at the props in that room.

Is anyone going to eat that burger and fries?

Thorsten makes me moist - down there.

R288, There is help . . .

Fun Promo...20 seconds....Kimberlin Brown is.....Dr. RACHEL LOCKE!!

This current Sheila return is long past it's expiration date. I guess once Taylor and Brooke find out what Ridge is up to, they'll be fighting over him again. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Brad must really like Darin Brooks, because there is no reason for Wyatt to still be on the show.
