BB Ronn Moss OUT!!!!!!

Don't worry You still have Drake Hogestyn around for those memorable " acting " moments.

Lawd have mercy! Dreck Hogestyn is so bad its disgusting! They should do Razzies for Daytime.

You should see all the fun stuff The Soup did with most of his and Kyle's scenes. My favorite was when Ronn & Kyle actually showed up on an episode. Man, The Soup is too funny to me now.

I think Errol's right. Yes, we can all agree Ronn isn't the best actor to come down the pike, but the thing is the CHARACTER is integral to the canvas. A recast of Ridge with the right actor might work, but with Ronn so well known in the role...

The show just went to Italy as well. That remote had to be a pretty penny.

With Days trying its millionth reset, this was not the time to try something that would send B&B's viewers over to Days (although in all honesty, once they saw what a mess that show was they might run back... lol). I gotta believe Ronn will be back someday, if not soon.

Wow, I'm in shock but i don't think the news has seriously hit me yet.

I think they will most likely kill Ridge off, I just wonder if they will the same way Phoebe died, or that they will just say he had a heart attack, he has had them before on the show.

Is it bad that I really don't care that Ridge is gone? Moss can't act and I grew so tired of watching Ridge even though I only started watching B&B a few years ago. Can't imagine having to sit through him for decades.

[marceline]

There are no words.

[frequentsoapfan]

Me either! It's so horribly bad I'm crying from laughter and my chest hurts!

[ChitHappens]

I cry with gut laughter each time I view it. It's the absolute worst. I don't think Dreck H could top that.

[ChitHappens]

Surely, you can come up with something.

Hasn't the show been sort of phasing Ridge out anyway, over the last year?

Like everyone else said, I never thought this would happen.

Moss is a terrible actor, but it's easy to overlook just how integral he was to B&B's success internationally. Moss ALWAYS had dynamite chemistry with his leading ladies in the show's first decade. Joanna Johnson, KKL, Hunter Tylo - I was not a fan of Ridge/Taylor, but I can't deny the chemistry they had early on. Moss always had good chemistry with the actors who played his family.

Ridge was a spoiled brat, a pathetic baby, a jerk, but Moss always had some type of cool, and he had a certain sense of humor, the same humor which Drake Hogestyn also had for a long time. They know they're on a soap, and while they don't sneer and treat this as a huge burden to their ego, they also don't take it too seriously.

I'm not sure what was left for Ridge anyway - when I was throwing around story ideas for the show I just wanted to make him a complete a$$hole who would get into a huge Forrester war with Dayzee.

I guess this is why Dollar Dye Job has been getting more and more of a role. I don't think he works as a character, and they never give Thorne anything to do, so they may need to bring someone new in. There are certainly plenty of talented soap leading men who need work.

I'd suggest John Loprieno.

[marceline]

The first word that came to my mind was "constipated." He looks so bound up in that scene that I wanted to call a doctor.

[frequentsoapfan]

Did that soap rap video ever drop?

[Soapsuds]

From one bad actor to another...LMAO

Ewwwwwwww...in so many levels.....

[ChitHappens]

My 53rd thought (because I've watched it so many times) is that he's a backed up werewolf right before the metamorphosis begins.
