That dress! Love it. ❤️

And we... Bold fans... have some sort of PTSD when it comes to feeling Bradley Bell-isms in anything else... I start really freaking out. We are traumatized (by bad writing) birds. 😂

I live for these moments! Thank you!

Great question.

Mm-hmm... I just don't want to see in the future... normal excited fans critiquing... being mixed up with that other thing that I don't even want to comment about, since I am not giving attention seekers - attention. People have a right to critique without feeling like they are doing anything wrong. There is nothing wrong in being honest. Quite frankly... I prefer honesty than being fake-happy about everything. I'm not that girl. Nothing wrong with being that girl. I personally am not. I've been a cheerleader for BTG, but I am also not blind or deaf... So... I'm keeping optimistic and can't wait for the show to really rock my world. Some of the stories have amaaaazing potential. Just give Anita, Nicole or Leslie good dialogue... And I'm good to go. ❤️

If this is not... Ronn Moss coming back as Ridge (never happening probably)... then don't even talk to me about it. I can't stand TK as Ridge. He's a wonderful actor, yes... but not right for the part. KKL's Brooke lost her soul when Stephanie left... and she lost her heart when Ronn Moss's Ridge left. I can't bear watching the real Brooke act like she's been in a love triangle for decades... with Greenlee and Zach. She hasn't been.

It is really only the beginning. I remember now... even Bill Bell's Bold's first 2 months... had so many dull moments. I would not say bad... but dull... it was still written very well, the dialogue was sublime... but compared to what CAME after that... it's incomparable. I would not even say that Bold started before Brooke stepped inside the Forrester mansion as a caterer... smiled at Stephanie with that conniving fire in her eyes... and said - "You have a beautiful home, Mrs. Forrester!"... in episode 60. 🐍 And in BTG we are only up to episode... what was it... 25?

You're an angel.

All I know is... I'm focused on the show and how I perceive it... and not other people's reactions to it. Even if everyone loves something, that doesn't mean I'll automatically start agreeing just to be part of the group... or the opposite. If everyone hates it... that doesn't mean I have to be hating it too. It just happens that I agree and share some of the more critical views this week. I've said more than enough positive comments the first month... so I think couple of critical opinions are nothing in comparison to the praise. I will continue to forgive and forget for now... because the show is still in the beginning phase, so all of the problems may be just growing pains... I'm quite sure they are, actually. MVJ has already shown us she can do good drama. Now we'll see how they maintain and evolve with time. I'm optimistic. Even too optimistic.

Absolutely. I am all for Brooke being sexy and desirable, but not in this kind of way. She should be the pursued one... not the opposite. Not running around in lingerie in the office for a millionth time... hoping to surprise Ridge with a late afternoon blow-job. This is as old as time. What happened to... slapping him and telling him to be happy with his second choice? What happened to that girl that we saw for like... 5 minutes. I'm so embarrassed watching this. Imagine being in your mid 60s and still having to get into panties and lingerie to... seduce a man you've already had for 40 years.

OMG. IS Bradley Bell really writing Brooke like this again. That was her in the mid 90s. Jesus Christ. Are we back here again? This is sad.

I loved when Hope was the Anti Brooke. It worked on so many levels. Brad should have never ruined that.

Mm-hmm. I agree with you 💯.That's exactly my impression of today. And the entire week. Hope this is just growing pains and the rhythm is back next week. I am craving more Leslie... More Anita, please. Nicole... She elevates every scene. Less Bradley Bell dialogue and retelling of things. Less amateur actors and the Saint Ashley show. And... it's perfection. ❤️

The drunk guy that decided to steal the scene. 😂 e1ecf54de22bd2c9957b4308ea0b6339.mp4

Aaaand this was my first reaction seeing her. LOL. 😂

Not a good episode. All kinds of caricatures running around. Vanessa needs a brain transplant asap. She is NOT INTERESTING anymore. ONE-NOTE. To a point of cartoon. And as I said yesterday and the day before - this frequent retelling of what happened all the time... is really irritating. That's Bradley Bell sh-t right there. So I'm gonna say it - after a great start... the show is struggling to maintain the dynamics of the first few weeks. I hope to God they get a good step going next week. As much as I want to constantly give them slack (because it's only month 2)... I'm also saying to myself - it's too early to feel so tired of these characters. Bradley Bell-ish writerisms all around. Again... nothing that can't be fixed. But work needs to be done, recasts need to be made. I didn't want to be a negative opinion... but I also can't lie. Another week, another chance. We'll see how it goes.

I can't agree more. All of these plot ideas flopped... I also think some of the dialogue for Ashley and Derek has been very commercial for baby diaper level of bland. I don't want to start fast forwarding half the episodes in the future.

I'm seriously considering deleting my Facebook account. After the recent changes in their policy regulations, now they openly allow all kinds of discrimination and harassment based on sexual orientation, gender and etc... I just don't feel okay being in that platform. Not that I ever felt safe there... but recently... even basic pop music posts are full of homophobic comments. You can't even like a photo of Lady Gaga without seeing them. You can't escape them. They are everywhere. I'm so sad that in 2025 people can get away with writing comments like this. I open some of these profiles that call men like me and my husband... all kinds of names... and I see - mothers... teachers... people who you meet at the supermarket at the counter... all kinds of normal looking people who are unleashing their homophobia and hatred with all the freedom you can imagine. It gets to a point I ask myself why am I part of a platform that doesn't delete all these comments. Any time I report any disgusting homophobic comment I get a response that they haven't violated any rules. Every single time. Well... OK... Then this is just... Goodbye for me. I'll download the history and the pictures... just for the sake of preserving my memories and that's it.
