Members DaytimeFan Posted December 3, 2013 Members Share Posted December 3, 2013 That's the only look he should have even contemplated...but no...the long hair, the basset hound face, the deep wrinkles, the accent...it's all there, daytime "ICON" Thorsten Kaye...as Ridge. What a disaster. Absolutely horrendous. Brad Bell must be distracted with his wife becoming US Ambassador to Hungary to have let this happen, he is going to belly flop in this role.

Members Jonathan Posted December 3, 2013 Members Share Posted December 3, 2013 It bugs me to no end that TK has been able to camouflage his horrendous acting with his accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted December 3, 2013 Members Share Posted December 3, 2013 And now that his looks have gone, there's nothing left for Thorsten as that accent isn't going to be his salvation this go around. If anything, his B&B run is just going to be a howler for fans who watch the show. I'm sure his tick laden acting and rumpled appearance will lend itself well to drinking games.

Members Taiah Posted December 3, 2013 Members Share Posted December 3, 2013 I would've preferred a haircut cause he looks too Zach-like which ain't a good thing and TK simply looks better with short hair. As for the promo, his little finger gun pointing at the end, so lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sindacco Posted December 3, 2013 Members Share Posted December 3, 2013 Hopefully this is one of those times when Bell grows tired of his new pet after 3-6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted December 3, 2013 Members Share Posted December 3, 2013 Awesome intro with the lux car at the mansion... BUT he looks indeed like one big mess. Hair, make-up and where's his gym membership??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted December 3, 2013 Members Share Posted December 3, 2013 This works for Zach on AMC, especially down and out ain't-seen-my-kids divorced bachelor Zach. Not Ridge Forrester. I miss AMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 3, 2013 Members Share Posted December 3, 2013 I feel like I'd been seeing a very different Ridge Forrester than a lot of people over the last ten years. Ridge basically became a hissing hobo, albeit one with good bone structure and sometimes nice suits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted December 3, 2013 Members Share Posted December 3, 2013 I'm with you Carl. I didn't think RM was looking all that great those last few years. Not that I really care. People age and when they don't they tend to look unnatural. RM was Drake H. levels of bad as an actor. Few can compare to how bad he was, but like I said, he'll always be my first choice Ridge. Since he's not coming back and I think the show needs Ridge right now, I'll take TK. It could be worse, much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ponds Posted December 3, 2013 Members Share Posted December 3, 2013 I suppose they could claim his change in appearance is from his time in Paris. Personally, I'd like to see TK cleaned up a tad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted December 3, 2013 Members Share Posted December 3, 2013 This is EXACTLY the pic I would have used as an example, too. LMAO Weirdly, I would be terribly excited to see this little experiment lol He came back from one of the fashion capitals of the world looking like a hobo? I don't think so!

Members DRW50 Posted December 3, 2013 Members Share Posted December 3, 2013 Add an ascot and a poncho and it would be like the old days. I don't mean to be down on Ronn Moss, as he doesn't seem to have messed up his face and he aged well, but in terms of hair and wardrobe and general appearance, I just don't remember this style maven in many years.

Members YRBB Posted December 3, 2013 Members Share Posted December 3, 2013 LOL Oh, I certainly understand where you're coming from. But (and I'm only talking about myself here) what I'm talking about is the fact that Ridge, from body to style, he generally resembled what he was playing, which was a fashion designer/rich man/businessman. Yes, there were the occasional wtf looks, but those ascots/scarves often gave him a weird edge that I could reconcile with his life/work (even if they were ugly). Was he a style maven? Nah. The show doesn't have the budget or good taste for that. But pudgy, scruffy, long-haired, accented TK is so so so not even close to what Ridge should be.
