Now this is something I will not stand by. Kimberlin is a soap LEGEND. When she was NOT on the show... pretty much every week someone would write something like... Bring Sheila back. This went for DECADES. The character was so missed and fantasized about. P.S I do not understand people bashing actors. I understand bashing or looking down on characters... but to say Kimberlin is not worth all of it is plain wrong. Sorry.

This is an official site for episodes, shared by the producer.

The producer said on twitter they will be uploading missing seasons soon and changing everything in better quality. It is too good to be true. WOW. I hope so. WOW.

Garbage recognizes garbage. So I will agree.Thank you for being the expected moral compass. 😎

I have always felt that Katie is just there to win Emmys. I really cannot stomach all of her crying sometimes. Heather Tom is amazing but they write Katie in the corner always. p.s the last couple of episodes have Bollywood level bad acting. P.s 2 donna really needs to be written off forever and ever. Locked away in Paris or Monaco and the key thrown in a river.

Guys why are you putting Eric to this high standart just now... when this man is practically dying... Even if he was a cheater... the lack of empathy for someone dying even if it is only on screen... is mind boggling. Also... practically 99.9999 percent of characters in soap operas... if they are on the show for longer than 2-5 years... CHEAT. It is part of the storyline bible. So it is strange that some of you are saying how bad Eric was because cheating and this and that... when Bold is the epitome of cheating scandals and sex scandals show. So we should not have empathy or care about anyone passing then. Eric is first and foremost and iconic character. Believe it or not, he is. In my country girls would put posters of John as Eric on their walls. So for me it is different perception probably to now see everyone just asking him to die already or that the character is so so bad... that we should not even care. It is an old man dying. I care. That is why I wanted a better storyline for him.

I suspect Sheila will be written off soon.

WOW. You are always expected to bring the wisdom.

THIS IS FAR from the truth. Most of the long stories are just hinted for years and small moments are added but as soon as the story really STARTS... It does not go for years for sure. He is very fresh and dynamic writer.

Yeah but thats Eric you guys... He is there since day 1. Even for that we need to give more than ... just asking if he can just die already as some people here are saying. Yes he needs to be written off... I agree... since the character has played out well pass being interesting... BUT He needs to have a proper exit. JUST BECAUSE he is a symbol of BOLD. Like KKL... Like Susan... Like... even Ronn Moss... Thats 37 years this actor has given in his life. And some of the comments are really bothering me. I hope some day I will not read similar things about Brooke and may she just die already since she is no longer fresh. We will all grow old some day and some of you will have the great luck to be Erics age. I dont want to start a drama... I just want to say this thread is not just for abs pics... and fangirling... It could be about serious topics too. And Eric DESERVES a proper send off just BECAUSE... THIS.

I get while Eric is pointless character, but the hate and the disgust some people here feel towards this old man is... strange. I guess he lack the abs of Tanner Novlan and that is why. LOL

Which do you think are his BEST characters. I would say. From Bold... ranking for originality... 1. Stephanie 2.Sally Spectra 3.Sheila 4.Clark 5.Brooke 6.Caroline 7.Taylor - especially early Taylor 8.Deveney Dixon

GOD I LOVE Bill Bell. I think he is my artistic hero. Can I just say that. Give me a Bill Bell episode on a rainy day and I am good to go.

I don't care about the character but I care about an actor that gave decades of work to us. That's why I find it disgraceful the way they are writing him off. This is a legacy character that needed to be written off with dignity.

I think some people here have never even watched a single Bill Bell episode.

Yes. While I was reading I was wondering WHAT I was reading at some point and checked if I was in the wrong topic by mistake. 😁

Not wanting to be a buzz kill but the topic is getting slowly derailed into something else. I just want to remind you that it is about what particularly about Bill Bell made him great.

In my opinion... he is like if John Steinbeck, Dostoevsky or Chekhov were working in daytime. His stories are realistic, you know these people, you can instantly identify with them. He knows how to build a story, slowly wrapping your imagination and interest, with catastrophic climax in the end. He creates compelling heroes and amazing villains. He understands women and a woman's psyche. His dialogue is unmatched with dripping sarcasm, irony blended with sharp comebacks and dramatic tension and suspense. Just look at his character of Stephanie in the first 7 seasons - she is so overwhelmingly intimidating, her words cutting to the bone. Her mere presence making people scared. You can only write a character to be so strong. A genius actress cannot save a bad script. He made all his characters have their own unique voice. One very strong argument is that he knows how to write the opportunistic valley girl trying to invade the matriarch's castle. This is his best story and he does it so perfectly, even movies like All about Eve or The Favourite are not at that level in my opinion. In the end, most importantly, when you watch a Bill Bell storyline you learn about humanity and about psyche. It's like reading East of Eden or The Brother Karamazov. You feel enriched in the end. Like you know something new about people. Of course he has little slip-ups but I can count on one hand the *not so good moments* in the first 1600 episodes of Bold. Really on one hand and it's mostly casting issues and one storyline dragging the other more interesting ones. Also he is capable of writing sometimes 5-6 stories at one time and all of them are good. All of them. There is no filler. Bill Bell is really not overrated. I think he deserves more awards now after his death and he deserves to be remembered and remembered and Remembered.

1600 episodes (his complete work on Bold and Beautiful) is available on YouTube on the official YouTube channel. Season 1 to 7. Just watch and your question will be answered.

2001-2002 Brooke sleeping with Deacon and getting pregnant for sure started being hated and ended up favorite and most watched for a lot of people.

How many times will Bradley Bell subject us to the hellish nightmare of reliving BRIDGE aka FAKE BRIDGE. Since this is not even Ridge and nobody cares for this couple after 2013. Give that beautiful woman KKL some young bone to chew on.

62 year old KKL looking like a snack in the last episodes.

Zende is the culmination of something WE DIDNT see again. So it really seem random and... absurd. The Hope Thomas stuff is going nowhere. I am really disappointed. The show should be called THE BORING AND THE DISAPPOINTING.

I am sorry if a thread like this has ever existed. The title says it all. What are your ultimate most favorite soap bitch slaps? HERE IS THE QUEEN OF IT ALL. AND 12 years later
