Members y&r_fan Posted March 29, 2009 Members Share Posted March 29, 2009 I started watchin B&B in 2002 when Torkildsen was playing Rick, and loved him. When he was recast with Lowder I was seriously pissed, especially because Torkildsen had recently said that he was open to a permanent return. It took about a year, but I eventually came to love Lowder's Rick and now I can't imagine anyone else in the role. I certainly can't picture Torkildsen's Rick with Taylor or Ashley. Which actor was/is "your" Rick? Or did you like all three? Or do you just dislike the character? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted March 29, 2009 Members Share Posted March 29, 2009 jacob young and justin torkildsen rocked as Rick in their own ways. Lowder plain sucks in the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CSF Posted March 29, 2009 Members Share Posted March 29, 2009 I liked Young and Torkildsen. Lowder I never liked. There is something about him that just turns me off from the character all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted March 29, 2009 Members Share Posted March 29, 2009 Definitely Justin Torkildsen...I can totally see him as Rick the Son of a Bitch...but I'd probably see his point. Lowder's Rick is too flamboyant and a straight up prick. Jacob Young...Rick was a dumb rich kid. He played that well and I thought he had good chemistry with Susan Flannery.

Members nicknack Posted March 29, 2009 Members Share Posted March 29, 2009 Jacob: The best looking/hottest Justin: Probably the one I "liked" the best if like means having affectionate feelings for the character Kyle: The best fit for B&B. Let's face it. His Rick is basically Ridge 2.0 (now with less waffling and more [!@#$%^&*]), the acting, the histronics, the square look. I liked Justin, but if he had stayed Rick's fate would probably have been Thorne 2.0. B&B proves that the only way a character can survive for any prolonged period of time is by being an [!@#$%^&*] (see: Deacon, Nick and now Rick). And B&B desperately needs younger characters who can stay around. Regardless of whether they are a-holes or not. It's not like the older characters aren't all a-holes too.

Members Cheap21 Posted March 29, 2009 Members Share Posted March 29, 2009 Jacob Young by far. Hated Torkidsen in the role. He was too much of a pretty boy. Lowder is good but hate the writing for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted March 29, 2009 Members Share Posted March 29, 2009 I've never seen the other two to be fair, but I just can't stand Kyle Lowder overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NorrthCafe Posted March 29, 2009 Members Share Posted March 29, 2009 Loved Young, too. He gave Rick a vulnerability and made you believe that he was a kid raised in a sketchy family enviornment (dad was relatively absent and his mother/stepfather were on again off again). He was always searching, looking for love, and just a little peace in his life, given the turmoil Ridge and Brooke's relationship caused him. His Rick was the last sweet, loving, vulnerable version of the character. I'll never forget the scene of JY's Rick confronting Taylor on tryng to bust up his family and then telling her what a pipe dream she was living to think that Ridge would love her forever. JT tried to do the same, I think, but he created a Rick that I thought was arrogant, and stupid. His Rick was most stupid when he was trying to portray himself as 'tough' or 'strong'. He just didn't physically fit the role, for me. I was always waiting for his voice to crack. Too much baby face. He just never seemed to 'fit in'. I think the writers wrote that character based on the strength of the actors and he was by far, again- IMO, the weakest actor of the three. I have a hard time figuring out if I dislike Lowder in the role because of the plot, or his approach to it. His Rick is the big angry baby that JT's Rick started. It's overkill. KL's Rick is just less stupid, and angrier. I like some of Lowder's choices - he makes Rick a real SOB with the smirking, and gloating, and the same time he has a tendency to ham it up a bit too much and it annoys me.

Members bellcurve Posted March 29, 2009 Members Share Posted March 29, 2009 I don't really have a favorite. They are all, in their own way, special and appropriate for the times they were on. But I'd never want to see Jacob Young back in the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted March 29, 2009 Members Share Posted March 29, 2009 Jacob Young. His Rick was my favorite and most convincing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BadZoe Posted March 29, 2009 Members Share Posted March 29, 2009 Jacob Young. He was a young cutie. Justin reminded me too much of an under-developed teenager and his love scenes with Adrienne looked like child pornography. Kyle, seems ok but I only catch the odd episode of B&B lately so it is hard to judge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
