Ronn Moss & Susan Flannery both quitting should have been the beginning of the next generation for The Bold and the Beautiful, but instead... Bradley Bell recast Ridge. That should have been the catalyst for the launching of Hope / Rick / Steffy et al running things at Forrester, and vying for the lead of the company, re-shifting focus back on fashion. And then, with the introduction of Sally Spectra, do a semi-retelling of those early year storylines, with Brooke & Eric playing those beats of supporting leads. And then, maybe, bringing Thorne out of the damn basement. Instead.... we got stale, repeated storytelling.
