I don't think we - you, me... anyone else... mean to offend any fans, Steffy's, Hope's or whoever's. Bradley Bell is doing this for us... every... single... day. He offends every fan base on a rotating basis. That's his hobby. So... continue speaking your mind, it's refreshing to read. I second your idea about RJ taking a stance against Steffy's behavior. It's shocking and unrealistic that he hasn't done so far. They are his two sisters after all. Why wouldn't he? Someone wrote in another board that he was scared of Steffy. Excuse me... Scared of WHAT? Steffy is not some grand dame high and mighty persona or an intimidating bully... so that anyone can fear her. She's toxic and bitter at best and boring and repetitive at worst. She's the ex "show them what you got and you're get what you want in a fishnet" Brooke copy. And these days all she does is bark next to Ridge... how she either hates the Logans or Sheila Carter (the town pizza lady). Every day it's the same barking. It's a wonder how her husband hasn't cheated on her so far. But... I want to say one thing - all through this horrible material they are giving Steffy... JMW is working it... giving her all. Annika too. And I give them a huge praise for that. Both characters are lacking substance. Both actresses are sublime. One thing also... I really struggle to believe that Brooke, who is 60+ year old woman that has married 182 men and given birth in Big Bear 50 times... who once terrorized this family with her scandals, manipulations and stole the entire business through the original takeover... will be working in the hallway (as Carter put it) and be scared to stand up to Steffy. And now Carter is here to defend poor scared Brooke and Hope? Give me a break. Brooke circa 1990-2002 would have chewed and spit Steffy for breakfast and... then revived her to chew her up some more. They declawed Brooke and turned her into the most generic blond character... that only smiles and cries. Bradley - this is not how you are going to get KKL that Emmy. Not with these pathetic scenes. Know that. And a huge problem for all the viewers that have watched more... than the only last few years - for more than a decade it was Steffy written as the vixen-bitch and not Hope. Her current re-write into the moralizing, judgmental biddy that is disgusted by the "slut" Hope... is bizarre to say the least. Steffy has done everything that she blames Hope for... times x 10. The entire conflict is based on empty air and nothing more. It's offensive to people who have watched and remember. I don't think Bradley Bell realizes that we... do. Just because he forgets what he wrote a week ago, doesn't mean we do. Sadly. For us.

Amen. Absolute No. Count me in in the group that is finding it hard to believe R.J would be gone through this. I mean... he's the only one related to nearly everyone in the conflict.

Selfish people are like cancer.

It's disgusting, isn't it? That the woman always gets the blame. So sexist and so chauvinist. And it's so scary to think that.. in this world there are actually women cheering on men (Ridge) calling girls/young women (Hope) - nasty little bitches... I saw plenty of comments online and some of them... women... cheering this behavior on. Imagine it's their daughters some day getting spoken to like that by a man. It's so tacky. I'm not saying Hope is an innocent angel... I'm just saying - in the context of the show right now... and the situation on hand... this is not how it's done. But what can we expect of a character (Ridge) that has raped women twice. (Caroline and Brooke). And a writer that has constantly written women as some kind of demented sexually-starved monsters? It's not that shocking to hear it... in a junk show like Bold, but it's still tacky.

Also the writers have decided to forget that Ridge was a father figure to Hope for years and years... and years. This is just so absurd. Bad, bad writing... that makes me ashamed of how little Bradley Bell knows of human nature. It's 2024 and he's still writing in men calling women nasty little bitches. Whatever... it's just unrealistic. Ridge used to adore Hope back in the day and you do not talk like that to a kid you were a father figure to. You just don't. There is a certain boundary of how an older man should speak to a younger woman and that is just... pushing it into a nasty category. If Brooke continues to stay with this idiot, then she's the bigger idiot. But we all know... she will. Even if we have to watch another breakup. Yawn.

I'm sorry, but... Ridge of all people calling Hope... nasty little bitch... is just... tacky.

Thanks for the info. 🙃I'm glad the episode is up. How can I finish the Monday off without 20 minutes of trash? ❤️

I have the entire stream recorded, but I'll have to check for 4021. I think they play the playlists in their streams, so if it's not in the playlist... it may be skipped too. But I'll get back to you on that. We do have this episode in the vault in pretty decent 8/10 quality from diva tv though. Am we surprised? 🤣

The 4 hours of sleep migraine is hitting hard. Counting the hours left from work.

OH MY GOD! I didn't know that! Jesuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus Christ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every finger in the room is pointing at me I wanna spit in their faces, then I get afraid of what that could bring I got a bowling ball in my stomach I got a desert in my mouth Figures that my courage would choose to sell out now I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets I've been raising up my hands, drive another nail in Just what God needs, one more victim Why do we, crucify ourselves, every day? I crucify myself and nothing I do is good enough for you I crucify myself, every day I crucify myself My heart is sick of being I said my heart is sick of being in chains, oh-oh Chains, oh-oh

I think this is the creepiest, most badly written, disgusting episode of Bold's history. The strange music montage with Ridge and Bridget walking to each-other. Him caressing her hair and cheeks... and calling her - princess, after hearing from Massimo that she sees him not as a brother, but as a man... Bold should have been cancelled for this episode alone. And the one before it. This is legit disgusting and glorifying things that shouldn't be even... Ugh... I will throw up!

I'm 40 minutes in... and I'm gagging at the disk on Dorit's head! The mess is real. The episode is sublime so far. So much potential for drama and actual feud, that is not 100 percent scripted. ❤️

Happens even to the best of us. 🙊😜

I'm 13 minutes in... and darlings, this season (BH) is starting sooo powerful! I love the editing btw, I had issues with it the past season. Everything flows for now. I have a feeling this will be gooood.

I liked him with dad-bod too! 🙈 P.S Just started playing Beverly Hills Season 14 Episode 1! So psyched!

So now what?

I don't even consider the show... The Bold And The Beautiful after 2012. But if someone hasn't watched 1987 to 2002... It's all on YouTube and I'm so jealous of you. That you can experience it for the first time.

Me and my husband have always been in disagreement about Sheila. He hated her ever since her first episode that we watched... And didn't like any of her storylines. He finds her cartoonish and he hates her catfights with Lauren. I, on the other hand, adore Sheila circa 1992 and 1993. I regularly re-watch her first episodes. And I especially liked when Sheila became Brooke's "confidant" and tried to throw Stephanie out of her office. Or that dream sequence when Lauren recognized her on the podium. I was mesmerized by that scene. My husband doesn't like psycho stalker characters and types like... Sheila, Morgan etc. He finds them annoying. I have no idea why. I love me some classic Sheila on a rainy day. ❤️
