This show needs new dialogue writers... like... yesterday. It's so bad... it's ugly. It's not just that the head writer doesn't give a f-ck since his ratings are okay... it's the dialogue that is just pure sh-t. PM was one example of dialogue written well even if the story was idiotic. When he was writing scenes in 2010 with the Broliver fiasco... he still made it fun and entertaining. We've been talking about BTG's dialogue issues... but Bold is the soap that needs MOST help in this regard.

Nobody can repeat this. EVER. She was such a MOMENT.

I definitely want it to be... unexpected when it happens. I imagine one of them walking towards the other... and just LOSING it... without us even having the time to take a breath. I want to feel shocked! That's the beauty of the good catfight. I would hate if it was too staged and fake. And I hope to GOD they don't use these artificial sounding fight sounds... that soaps love to use. The fake slap and fake punch music effects. I want it to feel REAL. And be memorable. If we are going to go there... go there ALL THE WAY.

I completely agree with this... 100 percent. I'm sure you all remember me saying countless times (to the point of being annoying) that the show had WAY too much backstory at one stage. It leaned heavily on past secrets and events that occurred right before the start... resulting in an overload of history in that context. I recall mentioning that at times it felt like BTG was already in its 10th season rather than the first. Some characters... like Dani, for instance... seemed like they were going through the motions for the 180th time... to the point of feeling tired. However... over time, I've become accustomed to this and I now see why they included so much backstory initially. They began the scene mid-sentence, so to speak... to pique our interest. It wasn't a fresh, clean slate... fairytale start. It was more complicated. Yet again... I value all different perspectives... and I find it amusing that two viewers (or three... or more) can watch the same show and have such contrasting opinions about it. One person feels there's a lack of history... while I... feel there is way too much history. (With minor exceptions regarding certain characters.) The only aspect I would say is basic... is the dialogue. (When it comes to certain writers) That definitely needs MORE WORK. But it's not such a significant issue that they can't resolve it if they choose to. Keyword - choose. I hope they are aware they need to improve it.

I know many people will say that these catfights are something outdated... or not politically correct... they'll say how this brings women back and how sexist they are at their core... or how they're the cheapest way to show conflict and drama... and they will probably be right... but this is BTG after all... a show that started with a woman getting slapped like a dog in front of the entire town with absolutely nobody coming to her rescue or saying anything. This woman was later threatened with a gun by that same aggressor and again... we didn't even hear anything that critical about it... other than how humiliating it was for the Dupree family. So when that inevitable moment comes... AND IT WILL COME... this "catfight" has to have a huge build up to it. Not just a random ratings-grab like Bold tends to do every year usually with Sheila or any other wacky character that serves no purpose. It needs to revolve around a huge issue. The only two I can envision getting into it right now are Hayley and Dani. It should reach the level of "Alexis caused Krystle's miscarriage" in terms of "you did me wrong". Therefore, I believe we need EVEN more build-up to this... It's not the right moment still. BUT... with The Hamilton Widow becoming more and more active... there is potential for it to happen in the future months. And when the time comes... I would love for Hayley to take on the role of the aggressor this time, especially since we began the show with the opposite scenario - she was the one being slapped and threatened with a gun. I would be thrilled to see Dani's shocked reaction to the true nature of Hayley as an adversary. She continues to underestimate her, even now.

Thanks. When I was a teenager, this was one of my favorite novels. I can't imagine trying to read it now with a 30-year-old perspective, as I would probably be shocked at how I ever enjoyed it... but 17 years ago, it was a guilty pleasure that I would share with my friends at school. I had no idea there was a soap opera... I only knew about the movie.

At this point I think they should sent KKL's next Emmy material as Guest... and get her a win of some kind. It's that kind of ridiculous.

After watching half the show last night... I fell asleep and instead of soaps I dreamt of wild life - panters, orangutans, frogs, hamsters on treadmills. P.S. Happy that Lisa won. That's it.

I would love to watch this till the end... but that magnesium glycinate I took 2 hours ago... just hit... and my eyes are closing rapidly. I'll check the topic tomorrow to see who won. Have a nice watching, y'all!

I'm in tears....

So many greats we lost. God it breaks my heart.

This Lucky guy is cute! Love a good Dostoevsky quote!

The entire forum of SON... should have been on that balcony. All of us need to be there with VIP invitations.

Me during commercials.

Who is this cute man?

YEEES.

Did I just see Kandi from Housewives of Atlanta' s momma in the audience??????????

How I got here? I ask myself this question right now too.

And I need her to be on half a bottle of vodka before that. Or she'll look too lucid for this show.

TMI! TMI! WE DON'T NEED TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR INFECTIONS, sir.

I think I saw someone eating in the background... back there in the audience... bitch... this is THAT kind of show.

Why did she stick her tongue out...
