B&B: Unpopular Forester Returning?

[bongobong]

While procrastinating I came across this article, a "where are they now" story on the stars of Boy Meets World. Anyways it said that Maitland Ward would return to the show but provided no other details. Is this for real? Why on Earth would she come back, wasn't she just a forgettable teen placeholder used for a few years until they aged Brooke's kids?

was she unpopular? I wasnt watching when she was on.

I was a child but she was annoying because she had way too much airtime but I didn't mind some younger people on the show at the time: Dylan, Jasmine, Michael.

That better be just wishful thinking on the writer's part. The last thing B&B needs is more of that ridiculous Jessica Forrester.

This show, like its sister show, is a lost cause. So whatever.

I didn't mind Jessica, I just hated her stories. They were some of the dumbest and most bizarre and worst written on B&B at that time. Oh Jessica plays the violin and doesn't want to go outside and whore it up...well, let's have Ridge go make sure she wants to party. I guess it's a good thing he thought they were blood relatives at that time.

Jessica and Dylan had a fairly watchable romance and then they had sex and he was arrested for statutory rape. Why have a story where one of your decent young leading men is in that position? Then there was the affair with Jessica's mother, which just reinforced that he had more chemistry with her mother and made her look pathetic. Finally they put her with that icky Sly, in a story that was initially a comedy (and a knockoff of when Karen Spencer made Connor think she was pregnant to "teach him a lesson"), but then suddenly became some sort of rage filled rape story with Sly as a complete psychopath, setting Lisa Turtle on fire and all that.

Don't ask me why, but this just Cracks. Me. Up. Not as much as Jessie Spano strung out on caffeine pills, but still.

PSH! Jessica Forrester would boost the ratings. She would SAVE the show.

[DRW50]

That was probably the peak in popularity of the SBTB group and yet when they brought Lark/Lisa in she was dropped down an elevator shaft and set on fire. No wonder black women don't show up in For Angeles very often.

And which show isn't?

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Any show you like?

All of daytime really, but B&B has been a cesspool for over a decade anyway.

[Sylph]

It really spiralled down a long time ago, I'm amazed it has as many viewers as it does.

[Chris B]

Stop being so hard on B&B! I've given up on them realizing their potential so I just enjoy the crap that they give me. B&B will never be great.

[Khan]

Understatement.
