I never heard of Melba Moore... but I like that name... it sounds like a 30s villain.

I don't want to shame her (re: surgery) either, but it really did change everything about her. She was one of the most stunning women in daytime and she just.... didn't see it in herself. Then she gained some weight in her face and it worked, but she did more work and it changed. The last return (as a blonde) felt like a caricature of Taylor, and it was so off-putting, and it seems her take on social media is that it wasn't what she wanted, either.

Allen REVIVED Taylor, yes. By that point I wasn't watching, but also looked for her scenes and felt she did an amazing job with some really s**t material.

She really did and she added so much characterization that I know wasn't written for her, since B-B isn't capable of it. That's why I hinted that she seemed like from another show. It felt strange to have her act out this bizarre crap Bradley was writing. But she made every bad script work and made Taylor SO likeable. I believe if she continued on, she would have gotten Emmy in a year or two. Maybe they knew that.  

Guys I've been trying to get into this show and I just can't... Is season 1 just bad or... is this the quality overall. It's just boring to me. BUT what I see from clips... the later seasons look amazing. Are they?

Hunter Tylo during her last range of stint was so unwatchable; it was almost as if she forgot about to act. And I hated that for her. Krista Allen was wonderfully cast but treated horrible.

These two have always been head-scratchers, as well as recasting Beth Logan, too.

Sadly it's true. Something happened to Hunter through the years and her acting really was becoming laughable. The hysterical hand gestures and head moving. I don't want to plastic surgery shame, since I love her and I LOVE THE OG Taylor 1990-2002... but... I think after she came back from the dead in 2005...  the dead came back with her, if you know what I mean. That face struggled to convey emotion. Krista really REVIVED Taylor back to living.

Call me crazy, but even with the new chin...

There are people in life that feed off of other people. People who are trolls, who don't have any real opinion, but they say the opposite of what you said, just to SPITE you. People that will tell you that the sky is red. I can only imagine what their childhood was... to be so angry and so willing to argue and troll. Sad.

BOLD

Hunter Tylo's Taylor was more glamorous and more dramatic. The character was rarely funny and had seriousness and dept about her. On the positive - she was striking as can be, on the negative she seemed little judgmental. 

Krista Allen's Taylor was more realistic, sharp and funnier Taylor. The character didn't seem as dark or troubled then the previous casting, had an ease and lightness about her. On the negative - at time she felt like she was part of another show.  

I think 2024 will be another snooze year... I just see it coming by now. The only thing that can save this year is Liam and Brooke. We haven't heard "I made a mistake" in years. 

Margot taking over Forrester will be amazing. She was so plotty and vindictive back in the day.

Happy New Year, and fingers crossed for a cheap BRIAM scandal.

And yet I see you advocating on a regular basis for Brooke to have another scandal and sleep with Liam. Wouldn't that go against what you've just written?

I am past the point of thinking of Bold as something of quality. I say... If it's garbage, I want true garbage. But you will probably don't understand.

ITA! She could really stir things up on the show!

I will give my soul to the devil to get Margo back.  

One of the best examples of WHY it is NOT good for a show to be X character's show is... Brooke circa 1994/2014. For these 20 years this character was terribly overexposed. She dominated in episode counts pretty much every year and was married pretty much every 2 years. And I think there were points like 2006 or 2007 when she was in like 95 percent of a year's worth of episodes, dominating every storyline. Even though I LOVE KKL, and Brooke is essential to Bold as water is to human beings... what happened is Bradley made Bold - The Brooke show aka Brooke sleeps with the wrong man show. The first 3-4 times it was great and fun, but then after sleeping with all her relative's husbands... there just was nothing left of the original character. This overexposure, which could have been split into different characters... with every sex scandal given to Brooke, made the character a joke and a caricature. It is only because of KKL's charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent , Brooke has been able to survive through sleeping with Deacon and Bill. Storylines so vile... most normal people WILL never root for this character ever again. But they are... just because KKL is amazing. BUT, it's tiring to watch Bold sometimes... Everyone forgot that Brooke was once very interesting and nuanced character. Brooke was clever and manipulative, she took Forrester like a lionnes. And then to see that character and what IT became past 1999... it's sad. And a lot of this is because of over-expose and giving every shocking thing to her. You know when you eat so much cake, in the end it's not sweet, it's bland. That's what happened. Even if Brooke slept with the Pope and got pregnant... it will not shock anyone these days.

Ohhh you’re a Deidre hater. Bye now. 

Are you kidding me? Who is talking about Deidre. I LOVE Deidre and she is my favorite character. You need to chill out, person.  I hope you are not over 25... since childish reactions like these are pathological after some age.

AMC was Susan Lucci’s show. DAYS is Deidre’s show. 

Well.. one is cancelled, the other has been a joke for years. A show should NEVER be X's show. Never. People should have sides to pick and different outlooks to associate with.

It's great to have all these years put together for comparison. And I think 2020 a LOT of people tuned in since they were staying at home. 

In my opinion a good show is never CHARACTER X's show. It need to have at least 2 to 4 classic character and in the best scenario - two main leads hate each other.

Most people believe the new year is a clean slate, but you can never sweep garbage under the carpet. You will not lose weight, just because it's new year or fix your marriage or read more books. Self delusion is a plague.
