I actually saw it the opposite way - with the introduction of the Spectras (which coincided with the phasing out of the Logans), the show *found* its heart. I saw a much warmer camaraderie and more solid family loyalty with the original Spectra core gang (Sally, Macy, Saul, Darla) than I ever did with the Logans. The Logans had just as much internal conflict as the Forresters in those early days (Donna flirting with Rocco while setting him up with Katie, Grandma and Beth at odds over Beth's affair with Eric, the family basically being divided into two opposing camps over Stephen's return, and eventually Brooke's relationship with her mother's "true love"). Besides, the "close Logan family" was not sustainable anyway because we were introduced to them at a point in time when all the kids were about to "leave the nest". That was bound to change the dynamic. 

I agree the show got more dynamic around 1989. And yes, out of all the characters, Stephanie is the one that has truly had a "negative" character development. She started out incredibly complex and then gradually started *losing* layers. Her subtlety in the early years was a joy to watch. At the end, she was a shadow of her former self.

Who do you think had the best character development?

Who in your all’s opinion is the stronger actress, Jacqui Woods or Annika Noelle? Why or why not?

I think if Brooke was a (flawed) heroine, so was Stephanie. They were both manipulative and scheming from the start, and willing to do anything to achieve their goals. And their points of view are always on full display, making both of them protagonists, depending on your perspective. But both of them are more like anti-heroines to me. They are both complex and determined, but not conclusively good or bad since both of them have an "ends justify the means" morality. This determination sometimes pays off and sometimes it backfires.

So it kind of depends on your definition of heroine. I think there have been several other "heroines" in B&B. Out of the women Brooke's age, Caroline, Taylor and Macy all had traits that would make them qualify (i.e. being major characters whose moral alignment leans towards the "good" side).

But interestingly, I find it really hard to think of a "hero" in B&B.

I think Stephanie was a anti villain

She was. I am sorry, but she was. She was lead and she had positive qualities that made people root for her. That makes her a heroine. Even in the official Bold site Katherine is written as - the ultimative heroine of Bold. I am not talking about the Slut era... but... in the original... she was Heroine.

I think 92 is where they added some vixenish traits and took it to the next level 97

When do you guys think Brooke was cemented as the star of the show?

Her main significance was her looks

 Thoughts?

What’s the tea with PB and keemo? I heard he didn’t approve 

KKL?

I never understand why this show has never really aloud anyone to call out Steffy on her hypocrisy...Steffy AND Thomas are never held accountable for any crap they pulled...Bradley Bell has always had this weird fixation of making Brooke the scapegoat amongst everyone else. I talk so much crap on him all the time, but I really have to wonder why he always goes that route? Is this based on him thinking people are more team Steffy/Taylor then team Hope/Brooke? 

Yk this show loves to do fan service

Off topic, but I just cannot stand Taylor or Steffy. I don't get why they have fans.

The Steffy is very overrated

Female:
1. Macy (though perhaps a less "important" character than some of the names further down my list, I always found her the most relatable)
2. Sally
3. Stephanie
4. Sheila
5. Brooke (I don't actually like Brooke, at least not anymore, but I just think she is too important to the show to leave out)
Honorable mentions: Darla, Aly, Stacy the waitress

Male:
1. Thorne
2. CJ
3. Clarke (I didn't feel that way before, but rewatching old episodes with him now, I have gained a whole new appreciation for him - he is hilarious in all his glorious unapologetic arrogance)
4. Deacon
5. A tie between Ridge and Eric (for the same reasons as Brooke above)
Honorable mentions: Saul, Mike, Rocco, Charlie

When did you stop liking Brooke?
