Lowder's acting has improved on B&B. He's done some amazing work this year, especially with the Ridge fued earlier in the year. I may be in the miniroty, but I prefer him to the previous (very dorky) Rick.

I agree that he has improved, perhaps because the direction on B&B is much stronger. Btw, you touched on the one issue that I always had with Torkildsen: He was a great actor, but really didn't look the part. Now, if Torkildsen had abs like Lowder's.... Well, that's a whole other topic, ain't it? lol :D

whoever said that Brady, in the form of a new hot good actor, should come back and have hate sex with Sami... YES! furthermore i have always wanted Sami & Philip to hook up as well. Sami needs a new storyline, Philip needs a new storyline, they could bring a new Brady on...

talk about a new family dynamic!

yes they do and GL crossed that line, into actually incest.

Shes not related to Brady or philip by blood, and far worse has been done (Bo & Billie, who are philips siblings; Belle/Shawn; various others...)

i guess not so much now, but when Kyle Brandt was in the role Philip/Sami woulda not only been hot but a fun couple. The chem Ali & Kyle had was amazing.

I guess I'm in the minority, too! Excluding the excrement that was Rick/Phoebe/Constantine (and I know that is a VERY big leap to make), I think Kyle Lowder has made Rick more predatory and charming and, well, adult. I actually prefer him to Torkildsen who was great in the College Kid/Young Adult SLs but not so convincing thereafter.

I also like KL's bro/sis vibe with Bridget and the seething Ridge Hate. It makes sense because Rick has always been uber-protective of his mom and has been pushed around and belittled by Ridge in recent years.

Most of all, his scenes with Eileen Davidson have been incendiary. Rick & Ashley could be the making of this character -- and a really spicey, interesting May/December romance (although, let's face it, Eileen Davidson has never looked hotter).

Agreed with all of that and then some. I won't ever understand what people liked about Justin Torkildsen. First off he just made the character weak and whiney. That in itself could have been fine except that Bradley would try to write him as some kind of power player and it did not work. But more importantly I didn't think JT could act at all. He had some brother/sister chemistry with Jennifer Finnigan but the current Bridget/Rick have one of the best sibling relationships B&B's ever seen. They share a similar look and aren't cloyingly sentimental.

Lowder has finally brought a more masculine edge to the role and it sits better with where the character is positioned within the conflicts of the canvas. I mean the idea of Torkildsen tossing snarky asides at Susan Flannery beggars belief; it was embarrassing enough when he used to try and physically attack Thorne.

LOL, he looked like a squirrel attacking a lion!

Remember when JT's Rick was trying to be all I'm a Big Womanizing Designer Just Like My Big Brother Ridge?

And when Caitlin & Rick were the smuggest couple on B&B (and that's saying something)?

Yeah, I couldn't buy him as Bad-Ass Rick either -- especially when Ridge and CaitlinTeeth were doing the talking for him. But I can buy Kyle Lowder. And before anybody asks, physically, KL has never done anything for me, either on Days or B&B. But I still think he's a good Rick.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Aback · Posted

      I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him.

      I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.

      Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much.

        Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year.

      Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go.

      The Madonna Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
