Bold and the Beautiful, Part IV: The Same Old Hope

It is a dark time for the very heterosexual city of Los Angeles, in which Hobo Ridge and his wrinkled face somehow still captivates both The Slut from the Valley and yet another recast of his other ho, NuTaylor of Cameltoe. Meanwhile, in LA's sole restaurant, Ill Giordino, vile, despicable mistress of evil, Sheila Carter, makes pizza while bonding with her granddaughter, two-time murderer Luna of the Enormous Panties. Wafting throughout the city is the rank odor of Daphne, a perfume expert who can be smelled twenty miles away, making it impossible for her to eavesdrop on nearby conversations. All are looking for one thing that may heal their galaxy: the cure to Zende's explosion from twink to obese, hoping to stop his expanding girth before he outgrows blouses and transitions into caftans--and possibly blocks out the LA sun. Continue the adventure here, where Liam may be dying, Dollar Bill needs pants that don't give him a muffin top, where Hope is hopeless, and JKW wins another Daytime Emmy just for showing up to work in a bad mood. . .

Bitch on, bitches!

R10 It's fascinating to watch the 1st season. It's much more of a socioeconomic juxtaposition between the classes, with the poor Logans taking up about half the screen time. Flannery is surprisingly feminine and elegant in the first season; her rivalry with Brooke does not start until halfway through season 2.

by Anonymousreply 36June 5, 2025 3:13 PM

Flannery was quite beautiful in the first 3 seasons of BOLD. She had a few deepish lines around her eyes from episode 1, but her hair was soft, and her complexion was very nice. Her figure still had a good shape to it.

About halfway through season 4, when Brooke became her main romantic rival, and Katherine Kelly Lang had a beauty few women could hold a candle to during that era - she just kind of gave up.

I have been anticipating Season 9 when Sheila comes out of the mental hospital after drinking poison, and is seemingly reformed at first. This brings us to season 10 and the introduction of the girl from Furnace Creek: Amber Less. I consider awful Amber to be the downfall of the show leading into the 2000s. The one bright spot in her story is her trailer trash mommie, Tawny Moore is played wonderfully by Andrea Evans.

by Anonymousreply 43June 6, 2025 1:31 PM

R43 = Me too. I believe those Sheila episodes also involved Sheilas financial settlement to divorce Eric. She took the divorce check and bought her cute little house when she got out of the hospital. Also Kin Shriner was in those episodes. Mike returned and Maggie came to town. Also Brookes doctor turned up dead and left a letter that she rigged Bridgets paternity after a bribe from Brooke.

by Anonymousreply 44June 6, 2025 6:17 PM

In 1997, Amber meets Sheila, who has run away to Death Valley and now works as a waitress at the Furnace Creek diner where Amber also works. Sheila has recently given baby Mary away for adoption to James and Maggie, but she is mentally ill and is still lactating, so she begins secretly freezing expressed milk in the hopes of one day being reunited with the baby.

Sheila sees Amber as a way of getting to the Forresters and getting her baby back, so she convinces Amber to become a babysitter for pre-teens Rick and Briget Forrester. Rick becomes SORASed shortly after meeting Amber, and is now played by hunky older teen Jacob Young.

The two start a sexual relationship after which Brooke, having placed her trust in Amber, sees as a betrayal.

Brooke and Amber have a confrontation and Brooke behaves in a very Stephanie-esque way and calls a Amber a whore.

[quote] I thought I read somewhere that the Forrester Home was a replica of William and Lee Bells home and used as the exterior shots.

The main set of the Forrester home may be in the classic California-Meditteranean style of Bill and Lee's old home, but the footprint of the set itself is basically a replica of the same floorplan that Sy Tomashoff came up with when he created Collinwood for Dark Shadows. The entry, the foyer, the staircase w/ catwalk are all in the same position. Even the little door that was said to lead to the kitchen where Mrs. Johnson and Maria the maid! entered from are the same. The main difference in the living room is that the fireplaces in the two sets are on opposite walls of the room.

As for Tthe Bells' real home in Beverly Hills, it was an expansive one-story. I think only one of the guest houses had a second floor.

I don't watch B&B regularly, but I do recall seeing one exterior shot where they showed that very "distinctive" (fuggo) bronze statue that was in The Bells' actual courtyard. Made me laugh ... probably a "gift" from their art-loving daughter-in-law, Maria .. lol.

Any exterior shots the show has of Bill and Lee's old house will have to suffice for future needs. When The Baby Bells sold the old homestead a few years ago, new owner, LeBron James, subsequently took steps to demolish the place and is still in the process of building a HUGE mansion on the promontory.

You can still see some interior photos of the old place when it sold for $36.75 million.

Kanan's been on a weight loss kick for awhile now. I think he said he'd dropped over 50lbs at one point. Sometimes when people begin to get up there in age, weight loss can affect how one's face and throat look. Then add in some cosmetic work, like fillers and eye-jobs, and they might begin to look 'different.' And besides the healthy lifestyle he promotes to obtain weight loss, he could have had some help with one of those weight loss drugs.

Not a prude but I find it exhausting and utterly nauseating when women live vicariously through Ridge and Brooke and fangirl the fuck put on them on practically Taylor Swift levels.

They make it out to be a Hallmark fairytale romance with the two of them resembling the cover of a Harlequin novel and saying they are destined for each other.

While conveniently forgetting or just outright ignoring the fact Brooke's entitled, controlling, obsessive and a professional perpetual victim and Ridge can't make up his damn mind. The cognitive dissonance of it all. Revisionist history romanticizing a pair of homewreckers.

Same exact shit on Y&R only with a pair of imperious malignant cluster B narcissists named Victor and Nikki.

Not to mention it's damn near impossible to use flashbacks of Brooke and Ridge together these days without clever heavy editing (why not deep fake Thorsten's face over Ron's?) like they did that one time when Ridge's face was completely obscured when those two took yet another rehashed trip down memory lane.

I feel like they should bring back Thorne, Felicia, Kristen, Rick, Amber, Jack, Jackie, Whip, Pam, Donna and God knows who else and expand to an hour.

Because it really started to suck when a ton of people left over 10 years ago.

The montage of Nick and Brooke did neither any favors, beyond reminding us of their (long gone) hotter days. While I was glad to see ANYONE come along to help change the endless Brooke/Ridge/Taylor triangle---I'm not sure Nick is it. This Liam medical stupidity---this idiot isn't dying. Why Taylor OR Brooke would ever want to marry a mediocre loser like Ridge is beyond imagination. This show really needs something to shake it up. There was time when Luna would have gotten knocked up by a drugged Will and BLACKMAILED Bill into marriage. But of course that would be too interesting and Will isn't into sex.

R103, yeah, as I predicted above at R95, Will is just pretending to want Luna in order to get dirt for Steffy, Finn & the Police Chief.

It doesn't look like anything sexual will happen between Will & Luna, but at least we finally got an overdue look at Crew Morrow's chest when he was wired up by the Police.

Will doing to Luna the exact same shit his dad did to her grandmother last year. They need to stop rehashing storylines. It's already bad enough with Ridge, Brooke and Taylor.

Even the feud between Jill and Katherine on Y&R ended for good after 32 years and they remained friends until Katherine's death in 2013.

I was half-watching ... But was there some point to showing an unseen person (looked like a woman? dressed in a dark blue nurse's uniform?) walk by the open supply shelf in the hospital corridor and take something out of one of the wire bins? This was a blink and you miss it moment, but it seemed purposeful. It happened near the end of the episode, right before Poppy showed up at the hospital for Li to tell her sister that Luna is DEAD.

Interesting, r151. I went back and looked and I was able to make out some of the supplies in those bins were surgical gloves and some were Foley catheter trays.

Two ideas ...

The person we saw is actually Remy dressed up, pretending to be a female nurse, and he's going to wheel "not dead" Luna out of the hospital.

-- or --

It actually was a hospital nurse, and she's going to direct some cute male LVN to go in and insert Liam's catheter, which could be comedy gold!. .. Halfway through the procedure, the young nurse asks, "Would you like your balls shaved as well, Mr. Spencer? .. Things are starting to look a little 'wild' down there! I even see some grey sprouts popping out. .. And how's the butt crack? Waxing is my specialty at my other job at Prince Men's Spa in WeHo."

by Anonymousreply 156July 11, 2025 12:50 AM

I don't know what other boards are saying about Luna not being dead, but since Li seemed to abruptly change her tune about poor little Luna,, Li must be planning to sneak Luna's still-alive ass out of the hospital so Li can hide Lunar from the cops while nursing her back to health - the way Li with Finn when everybody thought he was dead after Sheila shot him. It makes no sense, but what does make sense on this show? Luna is Li's granddaughter, too. After all, nobody on this show ever pays for their bad deeds and Luna hasn't so far, so why should she suffer any punishment for trying to kill three more people?

by Anonymousreply 157July 11, 2025 1:50 AM

It seems obvious that Luna's not dead, because Bridget made off like Luna had survived and was going to make it. It was only Aunt Li who thought Luna wasn't out of the woods, then insisted that she be the one to take her niece to recovery. Then, she meets with everyone in the waiting room and tells them that Luna's dead.

I wonder if that filmmaker can actually address issues like Ridge and Taylor being horribly miscast how the sets have shrunk over the years, how the stories have repeated, how there's no continuity from day-to-day.

Brooke tells Ridge to go to hell at one point and then in a matter of weeks if not days later, she's telling Katie and Donna "Ridge is my destiny" and it's not even Ronn Moss. It's hobo Ridge.

If you look at the first few weeks worth of shows on YouTube, the pace is very different, but there was a clear vision for the show. Love it or hate it. They knew what they were doing but with Sheila trying to say "oh Luna is not all that bad." It's like bitch you're a murderer who got away with it. You have no business talking about Luna.

Continuity has never been B&B's strong point

A few months ago, Steffy and Hope were bitter enemies, at each other's throats. Yet now that Liam is sick, they're best buddies.

I realize a loved one's illness can help people put differences aside. But still its jarring to see Steffy and Hope sitting together at Liam's bedside and see Steffy put her arm around Hope's shoulder like they are sisters and not see Hope recoil or wince.

Along those lines, Bill shows up at the hospital and BEGS the Forresters to let them see his son.

HE is Liam's closest relative. He's not married to Steffy or Hope; HE is Liam's dad.

To say nothing of Bill pulling strings to get Luna out of jail; he helped get Sheila off from ATTEMPTED murder so he could get her to confess to kill Jay Garvin and that guy who played Nikolas for a while on GH -- Adam Huss.

That was a stretch but okay. WHY did he get convicted killer Luna out of jail when all she did was go after people again.
