My favorite lentils soup is being cooked right now! 😍

Yesterday's episode was... how should I put it... bizarre. Why was everyone talking in this quiet, strange manner?...The generic background music didn't help... (God I miss the old soapy themes - they gave the show some much needed character). Why was Brooke acting like she was drugged or hypnotized while talking to Taylor? The whole scene was so static and lifeless... with both of them just sitting in front of one another and talking about Taylor healing her chakra on Ridge's... lap... in this slow... quiet way. Then Brooke and Ridge in their bedroom... once again - cringe and strange. This whole sleepy atmosphere was wrong. This was a moment for some dynamic back and forth. Imagine seeing your biggest rival sitting in your man's lap. Would you act like this? Who directed this scene? Strange. The show doesn't feel like Bold anymore. I don't know what they are going for, but it's not working for me. You can't throw things like chakra cleansing and broken heart syndrome... and then act all demure in scenes like it's some kind of European intellectual drama. It doesn't work. KKL and RB both looked bored with the script they had to utter. I mean, how many times will Rebecca have to repeat this nonsense about broken heart syndrome. How many times? This is the new mints... BROKEN HEART SYNDROME... EVERY day... multiple times every episode. WE GOT IT! Stop saying the same thing like we are idiots. The only semi-cool reaction was when Brooke asked her - Are you kidding me... But it all went downhill from there. The pressure dropped and the scene got sleepy and boring. B-O-R-I-N-G. So, yes. I have no idea what I'm watching, I don't even recognize the character of Brooke, she is acting like Hope Logan circa 2010... and even Hope was not that weak. The OG Brooke would have been there, slapping Taylor off of Ridge's lap and throwing her into a heart attack. And also... I really can't believe Bradley is REPEATING this storyline once again. I mean... even Krista's return was more exciting... and Hunter's done this storyline of Ridge slipping back into Taylor... at least 10 times or even more. How many times before it's too much? KKL is probably rolling her eyes every time nobody is watching from the sh-t they are making her do. That's like dancing the same dance for 40 years. At one point... it really gets old. Who wants to watch this? Is there someone who enjoys this? I am really asking for myself. P.S I also think all of this will lead to some kind of sick twist very soon. Every storyline of 2024 has a twist, so I'm expecting this one soon.

At this moment only 2 people are watching the season 15 stream... 10 and 11 people - seasons 27 and 35. I don't understand why they are trying to invest in these 24/7 streams and making them the focus of the member program... In my opinion, they should just upload all of the remaining seasons and put the playlists for Members only. That way people can watch everything on their own terms and time. As evident from this screenshot, the 24/7 channels are kinda a flop. But at least soon I'll be able to record the last 40-50 episodes from season 15. That's a positive, of course.

I opened the balcony and stared at the beautiful night sky... breathed the oxygen in... and told myself - Don't let the emotional vampires suck. Preserve yourself. Cleaned the slate in my mind... and moved on. Beautiful.

And the 19 missing episodes from season 15 is... an issue. It's like 1 missing month. Ruins the continuity. And all of the missing episodes are important ones. A lot of Breacon scandal stuff there.

And the quality of all their live streams is considerably worse than the uploaded episodes. The paid season 36 is also airing in this strange quality. I can't believe they are giving this quality to their members. Someone needs to realize that IF YOU are going to be developing a channel, you can't stream in 360p presented as 1080p (360 image quality converted to 1080 - but it still looks 360 - pixelated as hell). Doesn't work. 360p on modern TVs looks JUST BAD. And season 36 is a new season they could have given to their paid members in real HD. I am not ungrateful, just... I feel like if they did these things right... the channel would be sooo much more successful. I would even say something that people may not like here - if I was them... I would put all (1-20) the classic seasons in the paid members section. But all the episodes would be HD. Soooo many people would subscribe, they are still waiting for season 8-9 where they deserted the classic uploads.

So sad that we are going to continue having the gap. But at least 1 good news - in 2 days we are going to be surpassing the uploaded episodes in the stream... and the last 50 episodes can be recorded in advance. It's perfect for me, since me and my husband are sick of waiting for episodes every day. P.S And as soon as they skipped the episodes... they lost about 10 viewers from the 30 they have. So about 30 percent of people left the ship. LOL. Skipping 4 episodes in a middle of a storyline is such a mood kill.

I have premium yes, but also use an ad-blocker on my browser. Ublock it's called and it's in the chrome add-ons. Again - free. It blocked the ads even when my youtube was not premium. I haven't noticed a difference. But @BoldKara - sadly I have to announce... they skipped the episodes again. I stopped recording the stream right now. There's no point. I will record the episodes when they get close to the current uploaded ones on youtube. I had such hopes.

OBS screen recorder works like a charm. It's completely free. Can't recommend it enough.

Right now they are streaming the last episode before 4 missing ones. In 20 minutes or so, I will know if they have the missing episodes. The stream is being recorded.

Sheila on Bold

I started recording the stream just in case they have the missing episodes.

Bold added a 24/7 live stream for season 15. Can someone tell from this video if the missing episodes from the playlists are here? And just so you guys know... if they continue with the season 15 live stream... that means the remaining 50 episodes from the season will be aired on youtube in the next 2-3 days. Which is SOOOO AMAZING. And if they then start season 16 live stream, we'll also get all these episodes in 3-4 days.

Brooke's reaction. Is giving me LIFE. I can't stop laughing.
