BOLD Twist: Kay Alden promoted to B&B head writer!

Now this is unexpected although Brad sure needs a co-head right now.

I'm extatic because B&B is at its last straw with me these days but Sylph is gonna hate this beyond words. ;)

A BOLD Promotion

BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL scribe Kay Alden will now share the title of head writer with Executive Producer Bradley Bell. Alden had written for YOUNG AND RESTLESS since 1974 and was let go in 2006, but snapped up by B&B. Both shows were created by Bell's parents William and Lee Bell. Their son was a former writer for Y&R and was named associate producer of B&B in 1989, then supervising producer in 1992. The following year, Bell took over head writing reins from his dad and also became executive producer in 1995.

Hopefully Alden will restore pacing and sense to L.A. - this is my dream writing team pairing. I hope it will pan out - if it doesn't I guess all blame will be on me. :P

Eh. I'm sure I'll be corrected, but I don't think much will change. She's pretty much been the head writer since she came on. I don't think the viewers will see much of a difference in the show from what it's been for the last seven months.

Oh just great. Now Alden can finish turn B&B into an even more boring Logan/Katie show. She SUCKS as a headwriter. She has to been reigned in. Well, at least Alden will have the honor of being pivotal in the destruction of the quality of both Bell soaps.

OMFG

And I never use that expression!

I don't know whether to be delighted (the Bell-loyalist in me is) or dismayed (the watcher of the show since she joined it is).

WHAT has motivated Brad to agree to this? I'm beyond shocked. Was he pushed, or is he tired?

Where is Jack Smith now? Still consulting?

Writing scripts, I thought he would be the one promoted too. He was B&B's Co-HW for years (while continuing his duties at Y&R).

Not that I'm necessarily a Smith fan, but Bradley should send his ass back to Y&R. He can resume the Executive Producer duties, if they're indeed looking for a new EP or be an Executive Story Consultant or something. A lot of the writers on the B&B staff are wasted and would be better back at Y&R, their original home base.

    • Not all friends are alike though and there should be a counterbalance in some friendships on soaps. Dani has already been all over the place enough and doesn't need an unstable friend.
    • I was finally warming up to Eva but today, that girl, what in the world was she thinking, crawling back to Mama saying she was under a lot of pressure. Pitiful. And, just what did she get for her trouble? Rebuffed, totally. Anastasia, she can go kick rocks. Who needs her & what was she wearing? I'm surprised to learn that some people did not have an appreciation of Dani & then Anita, right after, at Theodore's. I thought they were both right on the money & also sharp, witty.  Ted, of course, is playing at being Impervious Man, which is very funny & he takes it one step further, making all these declarations of his intent to woo Nicole back & win her trust again. I find myself laughing so hard at him & at how he has totally misread his circumstances. He has zero chance but wow he has so much confidence. This I find to be so humorous, possibly unintentionally so. 
    • They feel like a bad Three's Company parody.
    • The fact that there's so little action in the Y&R threads whereas I can barely keep up with the Beyond the Gates threads says a lot right there.
    • Im convinced that had Karen Huger not been in jail, Anastasia was meant to be her recurring role
    • @JAS0N47 Is Paulina's living room set new or repurposed?
    • Here's the Days ones: https://www.jason47.com/days/synopsesdsn1974A.html
    • I think Dani cares about her sister, but I agree with you. She's using this whole mess to be heard and make herself feel better. I wish Ted and Eva told her to fck off. I had to laugh when Dani commented on her and Anita confronting Ted. She acted as if they destroyed him. That's not what I saw. Dani has been dialed back from those first weeks, but I can't say she's likable. As long as she's throwing shade at Eva for her work as a hairstylist -- while ignoring that she did nothing except eat celery sticks and walk the runway -- she can kiss off. Barely tolerable, and Lindstrom is terrible in the role. I don't find him scary at all, and his money laundering plan is stupid as hell. I gagged when he texted Vanessa to ask if she was thinking about him. That's throw up time.   I just don't see how that makes Ashley any more interesting. And are we really asking for another storyline where a father connects with his adult daughter? I know there's no direct parallel to Eva's story, but come on. If you're in the minority, I'll join you. I have zero interest in any of that. -- I still fail to see Nicole and Vanessa as best friends. Nicole is grounded and stable and responsible, and Vanessa is not. It made more sense to have Dani and Vanessa being close. -- Ashley and Derek were actually OK today. I feel sorry for the actors, honestly, because they've been given nothing. It's crazy, because so much of the rest of the show is firing on all cylinders.
