Hey, hey! Let's toast to almost 6 months of BTG!

To summarize the Hunter Tylo interview-podcast... Well. 1st - it was nice seeing her and she looked absolutely amazing. I honestly didn't expect that. She looked MUCH better than what we last saw on Bold. In some angles she was serving Taylor circa 2005. 2nd - the 2 hours of monologues with occasional questions... had some interesting moments, indeed. She was not willing to talk about Bold much, sadly, but understandably. She was talking in general about soap operas and TV and the only real tea I heard... (because it was news to me) was that she was fired in 2002 and didn't leave by her own decision. She said that she was cursing at Bradley Bell on the phone when she got the news and to this day doesn't know why it happened at that particular moment. She had just turned 40... That's what she said. 3rd - Other than that... I found some of her memories of the show... especially when she attempted to retell the story of the classic years of Bold - far from the truth. And it's understandable since time has passed and it's quite clear she hasn't seen these episodes in decades... or maybe never saw them. 4th - At some point in the podcast I started to drift in and out of sleep, because the topics were not of my particular interest. She has these very vague... abstract reasons for not being in Hollywood anymore and I personally don't believe that this is the ONLY reason. I detected a note of bitterness in the way she was talking, but she tried to mask it with this spiritual awakening. I mean... we all saw what kind of channel she was on. Anyways... it was nice hearing from her, but sadly... it seems that we may have seen the last of her in soaps. I hope not, because in my heart I believe she should at least come back when Bold is ending to be in the final episodes or something like that. Hunter Tylo was a huge huge part of Bold's success overseas. To this day people remember her as one of the most beautiful faces they've ever seen on screen. Also... we can't let the last memory of Taylor be Rebecca Budig. She's a great actress, but not Taylor. She could even work better as Bridget recast, but not Taylor. P.S Oh and one last thing I forgot to mention - she did express unsatisfaction with how they were writing Taylor post her 2005 return. The storylines were getting repetitive (don't we ALL know that LOL) and at one point she wanted to do other things than cry about a man, or shoot at people or run them over with cars. She wanted a storyline where Taylor would help someone get better, she wanted Taylor to exercise her ability in psychiatry. We all wanted that too, but nada. Sadly we didn't hear anything that "unfiltered" and pretty much all was filtered through the lens of this kind of abstract spiritual awakening type of talk that I was getting bored with. No shame in that... good for her... it's just not my cup of tea. I definitely don't believe many of the things she was alluding about soap operas and their influence on people. I think she forgot that first and foremost soaps are entertainment. This is not a church, nor a place where you go to to feel the spirit of God. But it was... different and I saw her in a new light. Maybe even understood why she is not on the show anymore, but I won't go into that. That's my own personal analysis. The most important thing - it was real, which shocked me. LOL. Thanks to @dragonflies for giving us heads up about this thing. I would have never seen it otherwise.

So excited for this. Thank you @Errol😊

They just said she may be coming for a second interview next week. So this will be a multiple-time thing.

She is really opening up. Wow.

She just said that Brad Bell fired her after turning 40. OMG.

I'm sorry... but this is Taylor. This is the REAL deal. She actually looks stunningly good compared to last time we saw her. I'm so excited y'all. @dragonflies - she is live! ❤️

OMG UPDATE. SHE IS LIVE. SHE IS HERE.

I'm gonna report if it was real. We are still waiting. 😂Have a perfect day in the sun! 🌻

I'm there... in the comments live section LOOOL 😂 It just started... I hope it's not fake.

Great picks. @Gray Bunny My top 10. 1. West Coast - the second I hear this song... I'm transported back in time. I'm back in my early acting days.. I'm fresh in love... going through the tides of my early 20s. Melancholy with a pinch of sex. 2. Diet Mountain Dew - the song that made me fall in love with her. I could not stop singing it... even making amateur remixes on my computer. God I was so young back then. 3. Blue Jeans - Nothing tastes as good as this song feels. 4. Dark Paradise - EPIC, THEATRICAL... such a heart-break song. Makes me TOO emotional almost. I can't listen to Dark Paradise every day. 5. Lust for Life - Again, makes me relive moments in my life... I can't describe the feeling. It's the opposite effect of Dark Paradise. It's just... pure LOVE and LUST FOR LIFE. No heartbreak. 6. Young and Beautiful - Again... very theatrical, very dramatic. 7. Born to die - need I say anything... I mean... This is her WOW moment. 8. Ride - this is a song for a certain time of the day... and a certain type of activity. 9. National Anthem - Money is the anthem of success... 10. Summerwine - that's a cover... but I'm still in love with it.

I don't know about y'all but I'm sitting here annoying my husband... waiting on this creepy live stream to begin any minute now. Clutching my pearls with my popcorn sitting next to the microwave ready to get popped. I truly hope SHE appears. 😂

Amen.

😁 I'm waiting for the dramatic reveal that he is.

That's actually a very interesting idea. And current with the times.

Heeeey hey. ❤️
