Probably??? You deleted the "ugly" comment from your post, so why not just admit you were wrong?

We all know that looks are a matter of opinion and that looks are subjective, so I'm not sure what your point is there. I'd just like to know in what universe is Joshua Hoffman (RJ) "ugly."

As far as the magazine cover goes, you missed my point completely.

I don’t find him attractive at all..is as simple as that so idk why you keep tryna go back and forth with me

It's a word that makes people kill themselves. Do not use it to describe someone's appearance. Please.

I understand. That was wrong of me. Thanks for reminding me in a civil manner.

RJ is super cute and I don't get the hate. He is a young actor and he will evolve and grow.

I personally think all the guys on the show except Finn and Liam are mid. I don’t think he’s hideous I js don’t find him appealing, maybe ugly was a harsh word.

RJ is not ugly.

In other news, please let us know when you're on the cover of Vogue.

I actually thought Michael Corbett played that well. Look, he was never a great actor -- even as David Kimball. For me, though, some not-great actors are also very watchable, and Corbett is one of those.

I thought he was a Law & Order judge on steroids, very fitting for that ridiculous writing to get Sheila out of prison.

Tbh looks are subjective. I’m sure there are people that find him attractive, I personally don’t. I don’t need a magazine to validate me..looks is a matter of opinion. Again ugly was prolly a harsh word.

RJ definitely needs a guy to bang, but Wyatt is a no for me LOL. One of the guys from Gay Hoopla would work. The RJ actor isn't a great actor (he's no Nicholas Chavez), but sometimes a guy looks good enough to let me overlook his acting.

Kim Matula any day. 

I suspect if she ever wanted to return [full-time], B&B would dump the current Hope. 

Why do u prefer kim?

So do you all prefer Kim Matula or Annika Noelles Hope? And why?

1.1993 - The episodes leading to BELIEF are masterpiece. Both me and my partner who had never watched Bold in his life... made him a fan now. We would rewatch the company fights scenes 10 times and make short clips from it. IT IS ICONIC. Sheila is lurking in the dark with her evil cleverness. The show is 10 out of 10.

2.1992 - I simply love this period. I love Taylor when she was winning. I loved the fights with Brooke. 10 out of 10.

3.1987 - I mean... THE BEGINNING. It was like a fairytale. I LOVED the first 250 episodes!!!!!!!!!

4.1991 - Brooke taking Eric from Stephanie... Stephanie homeless. TALK ABOUT LEGENDARY!!!!!!!!!!!! 

5.1988 - Stephanie VS Brooke started pretty much here. The first slap... Stephanie won the first round. AMAZING.

6.1989 - Amazing DARK year with shocking twists.. Angela was SICK AND AMAZING storyline.

7.1990 - I loved this year but it was more calmish after the incredibly dramatic 1989!

8.1998 - Had some great moments... but the real camp has started.

9.1996 -   I was surprised by this year. Had some very good moments. I cried during some episodes. I loved Stephanie's mercury poisoning

10.1995 - The show didnt know what it was. Was it teen show now or not. TOO MUCH new characters... Storylines lacked cohesion. It WAS BORING.

11.1994- COMPLETE MESS compared to 1987-1993. If I had started watching here I would have stopped. The Leila storyline changed to show into a caricature of itself. It was absurd and DESTROYED Taylor's character. The show started to sound MELODRAMATIC and poorly written

12. 1997 - This year... was A MESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It started great... the first 40-50 episodes... then it spiraled... I couldnt bear the Grant Chambers storyline and Ridge in jail WENT FOR SO LONG. Maggie and James were also so unbeliavable. It was the most boring year of the show I have watched from the 90s.

 

 

 

Where you would you rank 1999 now that you’ve watched it?

Kind of random, but I was watching while driving home from work (unsafe I know...haha) And from certain angles RJ looked exactly like Nicholas Chavez (Spencer GH). Just thought that was funny. 

I like both actors but I find them both unattractive. Nick is a bit better though

I love this new RJ. He gives me classic Brooke 1987 valley vibes. I see him becoming CEO one day with a takeover.

I like his teeth, makes him look natural.

And I'm all for him being gay. Brooke should have a gay son... you cannot be straight with a mother like that.  Lol

And Bradley, girl, give us Brooke and Hollis and Ridge seeing them accidentally naked in the office.

We need some drama. The show is so stale and boring.

 

I’ve made sign in required for the poll, and made it so people can only vote once. Since apparently there’s been some controversy about spamming on the polls. I myself have noticed it from mainly the Steffy and Hope fandom

I realize they've been biting at each other, but I feel that latest response ratcheted up the argument.

I understand passion. My posting style can be passionate and even off-putting to some people, but I also respond negatively when I'm told someone's comments are too emotional and that soap characters aren't real. That's just a way of negating someone completely.

I have no problem with someone not agreeing with me about a character or a story. That's all good. I responded here only because I don't think the way to disagree is to diminish the other person.

I think the main problem is the dragon flies has a habit out of making people feel stupid over fiction, I could see why the other poster reacted the way they did because it’s not the first time he/she has done that, and it’s very annoying.

Your response is really special. You single out Steffy (and Finn) for predictability, yet ignore everyone else in town. Hilarious. Steffy is a "basic cliche of a character with not depth or soul"? LOL That sounds like every character on BOLD. And please miss me with the idea that Hope is "more real."

I guess I'm triggered more than anything by your accusation that someone reacted "emotionally" to "fictional characters," as if your comments aren't as emotional as anyone else's. For someone who doesn't care, you wrote a REALLY lengthy response.

I think it's possible to disagree about characters -- even strongly and completely -- without attacking a poster with condescension.

From what I recall dragon flies got personal first by implying the other poster didn’t know what they were talking about. idk y ur coming for the other poster just because she doesn’t like sinn

I am talking about what I'm seeing. Here on Earth. On my TV, in my living room.

Yes, In my opinion, Steffy is way too obsessed with her mother and father's love life. First 5 months of 2022 were Steffy telling Ridge he should not trust Brooke. She was like a bully repeating the same things. 

And then the boring scenes with her shirtless husband. Is that good storytelling? I can see that man shirtless 100 times and then it's just boring. Again, my opinion. I don't want to offend any super fans out there. Lol.

I like my characters to have dept and do something that surprises me, you know. Steffy and Finn are so predictable, it's like a bad reality show.

And... when did I say that I want her to be like Brooke?

Brooke has been a ruined character ever since 2002-2005. But she is Brooke... she is the ultimate heroine of the show. No way I will compare the two. Brooke gave us 25 years of entertainment.

Steffy in 2022, 2023 is just a basic cliche of a character with no dept and soul. Bradley struggles to write for her. He is better when he writes for the good girl... Hope sound more real to me. 

I really dream of this show to be better written. Even Steffy could be made interesting. She just needs Stories and dialogue.

You react so emotionally to comments about fictional characters..  I mean.. Steffy is not your mother or sister. I can think and say whatever I want.  Please don't take every criticism about the show so serious.  Or do... I don't care.

It's funny and predictable... these responses. Just like the show nowadays.

What about ka’s Taylor? What are your thoughts?

What is your list? In order.

So far 1999 has been good. We are at the beginning.

But I'm getting worried since there are no 2000 episodes in german and 1999 is the last full year I can watch. I will wait till episodes are available and continue. Maybe start from beginning soon if there are none.

It's been a very interesting process my partner and I started the show year and a half ago and managed to watch complete 1987 to 1998 in 19 months. 

I would continue but there is this gap in the episodes and I don't want to miss them.

If anyone has anything in german from 2000 and 2001 to complete the unfull 2 years I would be so happy. Even 2002 in better german quality will be amazing since the English ones are absurd looking. I am thinking of merging the english audio with better german picture if episodes are available. I will do them myself and reupload them. Maybe... i am only dreaming... Maybe the wonderful angel @rsclassicfanforever will save us one last time... i can only pray.

It's sad to stop watching even when it's the Bradley Bell period.

We still have 1999 to go but...I am already sad.

1998 and 1999 are a lot better. Maybe because of Amber and Brooke. These characters are working and driving the story.

 

Brooke and Amber were the stars the 1999-2002 period

This is why I laugh when people on this board try to say Annika can’t act. She may not be a charismatic Erica cane type actress but she is a solid actress, and only keeps improving.

Are you Bradley Bell? 

Grow a sense of humour. My grandmother died of dementia and I was not using it to insult anyone. The whole comment was just my sense of humor and me being honest. But.

I am not going to write in this forum ever again. Every time I try to speak my mind people like that come and make it something it isn't. 

I was complaining about a god damn soap opera. Are you kidding me...

Don’t stop using this site, I love reading your takes

How is 1999 so far for you?
