Yes, that little part about the photoshoot reminded me of that too, even though the situations are clearly different. “The contract was dropped, which is so crazy. It’s like, make that make sense.” Allen, who was nominated for best supporting actress for her performance in a daytime drama series at the Daytime Emmy Awards, said it was bittersweet getting the nomination and having the news break that she wouldn’t be returning. Allen remembered that she was speechless when she got the news. “I didn’t know what to say, so I didn’t say anything.” “I think I might write a book,” Allen declared. “It’s based on a true story… About a woman who took over a role on a soap opera and against all odds ended up winning over a fan base and getting nominated for an Emmy,” she explained. “And then there’s a lot of backstage drama going on, and she has to find her way.” https://people.com/krista-allen-shares-thoughts-bold-and-the-beautiful-departure-8417184

Just for the record I never said Krista Allen was "fired" - I said - "let go". And here is where I based it from. Krista told Deadline that her contract wasn’t renewed when it was up for negotiations in October. “The craziest thing is right before I got dropped, I did the cast photo shoot, and then the next week they called and said, ‘we’re not going to keep your third year and thank you very much, you were wonderful and thank you, goodbye. And I was like, what?” she told Deadline. She continued, “I think the hardest thing for me has been trying to stay quiet. I haven’t known what to say. The only person I used the word fired with is Hunter Tylo and anyone can check that out from her recent podcasts. Second, not ever have I said in this topic that Bradley Bell doesn't have the right to fire people. Not ever. Like any boss he can do that. What I said and where all of this started from was that I had heard there was some drama behind the scenes before Macy was killed off. That's it. I had never said that Bobbie was fired. I knew she wasn't from what I was told and I knew the issue was what I read in the Dan Krol article. Anyone can agree to disagree. But should keep their private opinions about me....private since this topic is not a discussion of me. Again, what I read in that article is pretty much consistent with what I was told and that to me was indeed out of the ordinary just ebb and flow of people coming and going for Bold and I considered it behind the scenes drama. I still do. Not anyone telling me that it isn't in their eyes will change that. Seeing what I saw on screen pretty much confirmed it for me.

Woof, I'm nearly up to date. Sounds like an exciting week to come.

https://www.soapcentral.com/all-my-children/2003-1020-eakes I found this little article. I don't know what to make of it. If it's true... Then it confirms a lot of the things I was told through the years. The author is Dan Kroll. The founder of Soap Central. I have heard a more spicy version of this from fans, but it's a similar story. "Eakes learned of the casting call for Krystal and asked show execs to be let out of her contract. While under contract to The Bold and the Beautiful, Eakes would be barred from auditioning for another soap. Bell is said to have reluctantly agreed -- and even privately hoped that Eakes would not land the role on All My Children. During a recent photo shoot of the entire B&B cast, Eakes was asked to leave. The request to have the actress leave halfway through the shoot caught many of her co-stars by surprise. The request was apparently made so that Eakes would not appear in publicity photos on the event that she exited the show."

Just saw it. LOL we predicted this was going to happen months ago. The Boring And The Predictable. But somehow I still love to laugh at this drivel. Keep it up, Brad. 😄 I want to see Taylee pack her bags and go back to where she crawled from.

Oh, yes. Karen was a huge misstep. The way they wrote for her didn't suit JJ at all. It was very hard to take after seeing her be front and centre as Caroline and then the same actress was given such scraps in terms of storyline. Didn't work.

God I can't wait to see her.

Again... I didn't say you were petty. I said I see no reason to "get petty". I'm starting to think you are not reading me correctly. About that comment they made on some event - great if true... You are saying it as a fact and I'm going to believe you. But still doesn't change my mind. I've had problems with someone and then resolved it years later. Still I don't think we need to get more deep in this argument. I respect your opinion about the situation concerning Macy. The only thing I don't like is the way you are alleging I'm doing something to harm someone or do damage. To who and what? I made a simple comment after I saw the chandelier split her head open and that was it. I still believe something was up and I remember fans talking to me about it through the years. I can't erase my memory to suit your version of things. I'm sorry.

Mmm yes, some people may say he is a great boss (especially those who are still getting paid)... but it's not all of them. Recently we heard from Hunter Tylo... how she was fired over the phone (she said she even cussed at him in reaction)... And we remember what happened to Krista Allen, who was let go after getting an Emmy nomination and felt incredibly confused. We have also heard from Ronn Moss how it was unbearable at the end. So... there is more to the story than just making a general statement like that. But yes... of course... Brad may be an angel and they may all be lying. They may all be bitter that they got fired. Of course. I'm not a judge or a jury, but I can decide for myself. And I think the whole board pretty much knows my opinion. Sorry that it triggers some people. But I'm used to it. ❤️

You know you are big and a household name in Italy... When you start selling the cold medicines. It's so iconic. 😀

Something I just found. It's a commercial for a cold medication. 😄 Spot Neo Uniplus con Katherine Kelly Lang e Jeff Trachta.mp4

Ugh. I get goosebumps (not the good kind) just reading their names. 🤣🤣

There is not a day where I don't feel sad that my grandma never lived to see the ending. She was the most hardcore fan you can imagine. All her pets had names from the show and she used to dress like Stephanie. Where has time gone... Indeed.

What happened? I still haven't seen. I play to get back into this trainwreck since I need something new to hate watch after AJLT ended. 🤣🤣

Thank you for the great article as usual @Errol.

Finally the weekend came.

How time flies... I can't believe soon we'll be seeing the 40th anniversary. It makes me feel old.

Well, to me... the strange way they killed her is a fact. It was unnatural and too sudden and reeked of something going on. Add to that things I've been told about this through the years, of course I start thinking of what may have happened. And that is not speculation. That's theorizing based on information coming from what I've seen on the screen and what I've been told by other fans. I don't think there is anything wrong in that. This is a discussion board, It's a place where people regularly theorize, give their ideas or perception of things and yes, sometimes even speculate and say stuff we can't be 100 percent sure about. I've read people claiming stuff that has no way of being proven... since it happened years and years ago and I've seen others agree and praise them for the "tea". But I was not doing this, I was merely commenting on something I was watching and confirming for myself something I was thinking for years... and sharing it with you guys. I, in no way... claim that what I think is the absolute truth. There is no such thing as absolute truth in message boards. It's points of view. I don't see a reason for us to get petty with this. I plan to continue being polite, since I've always loved your contributions to the topic. The only thing I had an issue with about your comment is how you, maybe unintentionally... made it seem like I've made a general comment that there should always be drama with actors leaving. I can try to call Bobbie Eakes and Bradley Bell and organize a press conference where I'm sure you'll get facts about what happened... I'll try... But I doubt it will happen.

14 episodes Electra... Jesus Christ, Thank God I was not watching most of the days.

I just love this photograph of the OG cast.
