I don't agree with the sentiment that these remaining soaps can't be saved and they should be wiped out to start new with the Gates and different shows in their place. The power of soap operas is that they can go for years and years and a lot of people who have watched back when they loved the show, still do... out of sheer melancholy or just habit. So, wiping all these shows and starting 4 new ones will be a big failure in my book. There won't be that much new viewers willing to start and engage with 4 different new soaps at the same time. At least at this point in the game. Of course these old soap operas can be saved... some of the historic ones have gone for more than 6 decades and there were plenty of moments where the scripts were bad and the show was tanking BUT were resurrected by a new HW, producer and etc. And I still believe a show with Bold's cast can be wonderful if just given the chance. I will say this, not wanting to trigger anyone, but for example... someone like Patrick Mulcahey could head-write it, if Bradley is willing to step out. Patrick understand women and women's psyche... and Bold is women centered show and has always been. And yes, I said - SOMEONE like... not necessary Patrick... but someone who understands the material. And Bradley does not understand women and their souls and inner worlds. Now if I have to say the cosmetics and the bits and pieces of what should be done... without change of HW... if that is the question... THEN. 1. Bold should get back to the roots of fashion - there should be more fashion battles, fashion feuds and etc. The fashion industry is full of intrigue and scandals in real life. They can take their inspiration from real life events. 2. New script writers for better dialogue and substance. If Bradley is not going to step out... at least we need some fresh new dialogue writers that can make the show pop and sound better. At this point the dialogue is repetitive at best and... absurd and comical at worst. We have weeks of episodes in which the same dialogue is repeated for 5 days straight. I am not exaggerating. If I have to hear one more time Sheila is Finn's birth mother, I will start screaming. 3. More diverse background characters, diverse body-types and GAY main characters, that can actually... - BRING a lot of new viewers. I strongly believe that. There are franchises that completely rely on the gay community for viewership. It's out of this world STUPID to have a show about the fashion world and no GAY LEAD. It's 2024, not the 1950s. 4. Bradley needs to focus on bringing justice to characters that have been living in this show without karma for years. For example... I would love to see Brooke in complete ruins and someone make her pay for everything she did - and not just to cry for weeks and then everyone forgives her. She needs to live what she made Stephanie live through - she needs to lose her whole family and existence. I want a powerful storyline like that. And THEN... bring her back slowly. I would even do a storyline in which Brooke actually loses Ridge to someone young, fresh and more sexy than her... and then in... hate and spite... kill Ridge. I would end the Ridge era with Brooke killing him. It would be iconic. She would feel sorry for this for years to come... but it would be better than the drivel we are getting now. And this leads me to point 5. 5. Characters like Ridge... Liam... even Eric... I will cut and their replacements or even their absence will bring a breath of fresh air. 6. We need a strong matriarch manipulator-bitch. And this is not Brooke! Will never be Brooke. KKL is my favorite, you all know that, but Brooke is not the matriarch of Bold. Bold has never survived past losing it's original HBIC. I can't believe Bradley hasn't created a new one already. It is showing in the way the show is floating... into nothingness. 7. And this is the the point I will regret saying but - Bradley should stick to what he CAN write - and that is sex scandals with a twist. At least they kept some viewers entertained in the past. Bold needs to lighten up again and be the show it was in 1999 to 2005 - fun, sexy, taboo, hilarious, badly written, but addictive. What I am saying is - Bradley stop thinking you can tell a serious deep storyline about dying - you can't. Stop trying to tell a story about drugs and mints and consent - you can't write it. Stop trying to re-deem absurd characters. 8. No more cartoon network villains. I'm sorry but these past years, I have overeaten on Sheila laughing and changing Brooke's bottles, Sheila shooting her son and Steffy, just because..., Deacon googling Sugar, toes, coming back from the dead, smiling, laughing... I know what you did last summer type of knife stalking scenes. I am done with the low budged slasher move storylines. I AM DONE. 9. The storylines should not come and go in a chaotic senseless order. What I mean - sometimes he writes 3-4 episodes with Luna, then Luna disappears for 2 weeks, then she is back again crying... same with all the other storylines... This random direction-change makes me not want to watch the next episode. I want to see the storyline I am watching for more than 3-4 episodes just to then WAIT weeks. This is tired and lazy and stupid. 10. Bring back TAYLOR F-cking Forrester. @Jeff

He makes this strange face that I just 💕

It's funny to me that I still meet people in my life... that think they can control me... a 29 year old man... and tell me how to live my life and who to talk to and not talk to. The idiocy of thinking they matter and they have any influence on me is borderline funny. Sometimes I even make them believe they can make me change my opinion on something. All while I'm laughing on in inside. NOBODY controls me.

I'm back to basics

I don't need fake friends in my life. As soon as I detect false pretense or something off - I turn you off of my life.

It would be so funny if in the end Patrick came out and said he quit and actually wasn't fired. People act like the witch from the Wizard of Oz came and fired him and told him to never go back to the land of General hospital. I bet if it ends up that he left... these same people will be the first to say - Well... he quit, because they were going to fire him anyways. THE WITCH Patrick, I forbid you to ever, EVER set foot on these lands ever again, you talented dialogue writer! PATRICK But why? THE WITCH Because everyone expected you to fix this show in 3 days! And it's your fault it's not fixed! Do you hear me? It's your fault! Even though the show has been in a downfall for years! PATRICK So where should I go now? THE WITCH Go back to Bold and The Beautiful. Write for that sex scandal dude! We don't want you here - we only respect PROVEN head writers! BYE. Come back when you can assure us we can climb to N1 spot in the ratings!

I will drink vodka tonight. I will NOT drink vodka tonight. Which is it?

@Liberty City @Jeff @I Am A Swede When I hear this song... I go crazy. HOT.

I don't accept second opinion. Try it that way, you'll love it.

I gag from some of these vegan options and usually say NO, but this time I tasted my husband's burger and it was so amazing I decided to have one too... then put it in a menu. Try this vegan nugget one and add jalapenos! And some barbeque sauce. YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM.

I feel like a high-budget whore today.

I had one vegan nugget burger with extra jalapenos... fries and coke... I AM STILL stuffed. It WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOD. Like literally the best I've tasted ever. I ate the vegan option since my husband is vegan and I'm trying to copy him lately. 😂

There is a place in hell for people that block public walk sidewalks taking photographs or just a group of people talking and blocking the way. I NEVER move away. I just stand in front of them and stare till they MOVE OUT OF MY FU-CKING WAY and free up the sidewalk.
