The show could use a major creative reboot. For example, Brooke should be more like Stephanie at this point. She should take over FC and have a few kids living with her. Almost a recreation of the original Forrester household, except with Ridge and Brooke in the roles of Eric/Stephanie. The show's strength was built on everyone living and working together. It was unrealistic even back then that adult kids would live in the mansion, but it worked. Maybe give JMcC a dignified final exit like SF.

I guess they took their inspiration on that from the primetime soaps. Dallas, Dynasty and Falcon Crest all had grown kids still living at home.

I guess it's says something about the current state of the show when this kind of discussion is what's keeping this thread alive....

Was it ever revealed who actually wrote the letter to Dr. Peters? 

Do you mean the letter about Bridget's paternity? If so, then no, I don't remember ever finding out who wrote it. I always suspected either Mike or Sheila had something to do with it though. Those two were the only ones who knew there was doubt about the accuracy of the test, and at the time they both had reasons for disrupting Brooke's life.

" At least Finn is a throw back to OG soap heroes, if it weren't for TK, Ridge would be barely a footnote in BOLD's history cause Ronn was NOT memorable at all" - @dragonflies

EXCUSE ME..... have you watched the REAL Bold... Not the joke that it is today... have you watched classic Bold? Ronn Moss is a footnote in the history of the show... did you really say that... are you kidding me... do you know what you are talking about?

Ronn Moss bad or good... DOMINATED the show for more than 20 years. Yes... 20 years full of storylines. He is recognized all over the world and in my country in Europe THOUSANDS were there to greet him when he arrived at the airport... women were fainting like he was Elvis or Michael Jackson. And we dont do that for anyone.

To say that he would be just a footnote is ABSURD and very offensive to what this man Ronn effing Moss GAVE to the show. He was not the most talented actor, but he had amazing charisma and he was unique in his own way. 

I am shocked of the things I am reading. Soon some of you will probably say KKL is just a footnote and Kim or JMW is the star of the show... Sweathearts... KKL and Ronn Moss Were The Bold And The Beautiful for decades. Together with Susan Flannery and John Mccook. Or are they footnotes too?

You sit here and you act like Tanner Novlan is the grace of the lord for this show while all he has done since coming on the show is 90 percent stay silent and be naked. Please... He is throwback to OG HEROES? Forgive me but this is not the case. The OG heroes are uncomparable to the character of Finn. And Im not saying anything about the actor. He may or may not be good. But to say he is a throwback to OG heroes... Is just laugh inducing.

I wouldnt even say Ridge was OG hero, but do you know what character Ridge was back in the day... From 1987 to at least 1993... LEADING. Manipulative... Funny. Don Juan type. And you sit here and tell me Ronn Moss will just be a footnote. 

I get it some people are obsessed with Tanner, but this is not a forum for your obsessions. Get real and stop denying the past and the history of the show. If Ronn Moss didnt exist maybe the show wouldnt have been so sucessful to begin with and continue for so long so you can have your favourites like Fin.

Let me repeat. I am not even a fan of Ronn Moss but I am very triggered by people denying his legacy and mark on the show. Learn to be more respectful towards the legends and the oldschool stars that were there in the beginning.

JESUS CHRIST. 

Thank you! It's absolutely mindboggling how anyone could refer to Ronn Moss' Ridge as a footnote! Did they even watch the show back then? Ronn is not a great actor, but he fit the role of Ridge perfectly, much better than Thorsten Kaye in my opinion, and he had great chemistry with his leading ladies (JJ, KKL and HT).

Ronn was so bad that he's one of the worst actors I've ever seen on soaps, and that's saying a lot given Cameron Mathison is on soaps LMAO

"Finn most boring character in history of soaps" nice try dear, but that's stretching it, he's hugely popular and we know what people mean by "boring" ie he isn't verbally and emotionally abusive like 99 percent of "men" on soaps like Lame, Ridge, Bill etc

At least Finn is a throw back to OG soap heroes, if it weren't for TK, Ridge would be barely a footnote in BOLD's history cause Ronn was NOT memorable at all 

It's fine that you don't like Ronn Moss, but come on! Ridge a footnote??  

Ronn played Ridge for 25 years, and was the undisputed lead actor on the show during that time. I agree that he's not a great actor, but somehow he fit the role of Ridge perfectly.

I doubt JMW will be back till at least after the New Year lol

I don't think Brad even likes Steffy all that much TBH, I'd say Brooke and Liam are his pets 

If that's the case it certainly doesn't show in the way he writes them. Or does he really think they come off as likeable?

I know playing opposite the likes of Helen Mirren on Prime Suspect is no patch on Kellie Bright, but he has been around the block a time or two!

Don't knock Kellie Bright. She was perfectly adequate on The Upper Hand.

Frank should bring back the fab writing duo with Jean and Shelly. They understood the history andwrite fabulous umbrellas storylines. They could kickstart and upboot the show. I loved their writing era. It was one of the longest in gh history which shows u how mjch they did awesomeness for the show. We would be so lucky to have them spinning and weaving new tales for us. they have pioneer daytime dramas

Oh God, not this again!!
