I agree that Brooke should be written differently - I've been saying this for years now. Every single week. You just don't turn that type of leading character into a prop. A character that drove some, if not the most successful storylines in the show's history. Why Bradley did that is something I DARE any interviewer to ASK him. I dare them. But I doubt it will happen. We'll only hear praise or safe-questions, like usual. Because that's the times we are living in, sadly. BUT. And it's a big BUT - I am not gonna blame KKL for not "fighting" to change storyline. Not at this stage of the game. We have no idea what is happening behind the scenes. For all we know, she may be doing just that every single day. KKL is not obliged to give us a report on her professional agenda and work-relationship with her boss. I'm sure she's done a lot of things that have benefited the show behind the scenes and never bragged about it. I also won't take her words out of context about the triangle. She was politically correct in saying that there must be a reason why it's going on for so long (and she's right - the triangle had surprisingly long life... till Ronn Moss left - that's when it died)... but she also added a cheeky "NOT THIS AGAIN?!". Which is pretty telling to anyone who knows how to read these things. That's the max... a girl like KKL will go in making a "dig". You can't even call it a "dig". She's just not the type of girl you can expect to make these comments. PERIOD. Remember what happened to Krista Allen who dared to criticize storyline and make ironic comments about it in interviews? I know you all do. I'm not saying that this was the cause of her firing... but... I'm sure it DIDN'T HELP her staying. Also... what to fight for or not fight for is her prerogative. KKL is very easy to work with, respectful to writers actress. I remember Patrick Mulcahey years ago... defending her on social media against crazed fans who were spreading rumors that she is a diva or changing storylines - he denied this and painted her in a completely contrasting colors. She is not THAT GIRL. And I don't want or expect her to be. What can we complain about her for? Why should we? She's given us 4 decades of her life doing consistently powerful work and carried the show together with Susan Flannery. She's also a huge part of why the show has been successful overseas and her longevity there is impressive. She's been the face of multiple brands in Italia. Continues to be. That's a-m-a-z-i-n-g and probably times and times more satisfying that having to kiss Ridge for the 191828929 time or cry about Hope. So... I am only thankful for all the great years... and also grateful that she is still here. I can't even imagine how hard it is for her to read some of these idiotic lines she's been given. Also... maybe at this point of the game... she's focusing on other projects. I'm noticing she spends insane amount of time in Europe and Italy. And I am so happy for her. Bold is not a good look these days... She's been there, done that and... DONE it in the glory days. Some people have only been here in the horrifying trashy era of the show. That's not a dig at them, it's just their bad luck probably... to only be able to work for Bradley Bell and not his father.

😂 BRADLEY BELL.

I'm getting old.

She is. And so natural... which I can't say for some.

She looks A-M-A-Z-I-N-G and that dress is very fitting.

The real twist will be if he is NOT faking it. Then he'll realize that a hooker in her 20s can't help you while you're confined to a bed and need real care and attention from a grown ass woman. That may be a way for him and Dani to grow closer again. I don't like it... but it's possible. Especially if the doctors order him to abstain from "excitement and sex". If Hayley doesn't work her magic on him every day... her cards are a lot less strong. Without sex, I'm quite sure... he'll start missing the family meals with the crazy wife and the kids. Hayley is fun, but she's not that deep. All of this reminds me of... how some men treat their wives badly... cheat on them... desert them for a young inexperienced selfish girl... to only then in a year or two... NEED someone to take care of them and be there... and now they start calling that ex that they called old last year. Typical behavior. But I think you guys are probably right and he's faking.

This is... so beautiful. Joke aside - what a cringe scene!

This is my reaction to Naomi conducting her meetings in the enemy's office.

I can be that hand if he needs a substitute.

Jesus... Christ... this was Bradley Bell-style cliffhanger. 🤣 I hope tomorrow is better. What the hell is going on? 🤣

The more I get to know Naomi... the more I'm confused how Hayley was her best friend. And this gambling filler is just... Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Mm-hmm... I have no idea how they thought this is okay.

Nicole elevates so many scenes... it's crazy.

Vanessa is a caricature.

Why do we need re-telling what happened type of dialogue every single episode. It can be done, yes, I get why some people need it... but not in every single episode. I don't need to be re-told every episode what happened. Bold does this. Please don't make me suffer through a similar thing. Ugh. The Naomi storyline is a complete flop in my opinion. And a lot of bad acting in these scenes. ALSO - WHERE IS THE BACKGROUND MUSIC while these bishes are complaining. IT'S SO quiet... it's strange.

WOOF BILL IS HOT

Indeed. This is really ridiculous. What the hell are the writers thinking.

Hahhahaha. And the neutered dog metaphor is SPOT-on. That's how she treats him. Mm-hmm. Like a dog who she is failing to train and constantly has to correct. This is a man in his LATE 30s. Give me a break.

If you had told me that I would be looking back at the Slutty Steffy era of the past and think this was good... I would have told you... No way. But hey... it's years later and I'm thinking - God I miss when Steffy was not a 70 year old matron in a 30something body. Something is really off. At times it feels like the Steffy character is OLDER than Brooke. That's how it comes off. Unintentionally I'm sure. It's so ridiculous. Brooke stands there and is being morally corrected by a girl that was still in her father's sack... when Brooke was running FC. Give me a break.
