How to fix the mess that is The Bold and The Beautiful?

No, personally I don't think Scott Clifton deserved his Emmy. I guess he can be seen as likeable, if you're generous, but he's certainly no great thespian.

 

I'm not surprised no other actor from B&B has won Lead Actor before, The men on B&B has mostly been playing second fiddle to the women. Yes Ridge was an important character but I don't think anyone can, or will, deny that it has been the women that has dominated this show.

And just for the record, Susan Flannery won 3 Best Actress Emmys (2000, 2002, 2003) and Heather Tom has won 2 so far (2013, 2013) for their work on B&B.

I saw that on the news and just laughed.  Honestly I think they should eliminate the Daytime Drama awards - it's fine for the rest of the Daytime programming but when there's only 4 shows left, there's no competition.  It makes me mad that a show or an actor/actress will go down in history for anything as "the only person ever to...."  "the only show ever to...." win XX or the most emmies.  Because that's what's going to happen - and very few of these people nor the shows would have gotten a nomination much less won an emmy back when there were at least 8 or 10 shows on the air.  All 4 get nominated for Best Show....???  None of the 4 shows were deserving of "best show", "best writing,"  etc....Gina Tognoni won while on GL a couple of times in the Supporting category.  I could see her getting through the nomination process and possibly winning if 8 or 10 shows were on.  Clifton I guess made it through the process for Younger Actor and Supporting....but I don't think he ever would have won if there were other choices.  Can you even imagine him being named in a category with David Canary, Maurice Bernard, Tony Geary, Grant Aleksander, Larry Brygmann, Michael Zaslow (back in the day), Charles Keating (back in the day), Roger Howarth,  and so on?  Not the same company as those people and you can keep naming additional...

Thank you - I thought SF had won three Emmys total, 2 for B&B and 1 for DAYS. I didn't know until now that she had won four total. I think B&B's only other Lead Actor nominee has been John McCook. I know Ian Buchanan was the first performer to win for B&B, but that was as Supporting Actor.

- Go back to having A, B, C, etc. stories. One story dominating the canvas for 2-3 months is boring. 

 

- The Avant clan needs to be reestablished to the canvas. Maya, Nicole, and Sasha had too much potential to be pushed aside for retconned Spectras. There also needs to conflict between the sisters. It was criminal how years of story between Sasha/Nicole/Maya was dropped in an instant. Sasha needs to be the modern day Brooke--creating scandal and screwing her way through the young Spencer and Forrester men. Meanwhile, Brooke (though she sees a lot of Sasha in herself) needs to make it her duty to ensure Sasha never lands her claws in the men in her family. 

 

- There needs a story with Maya facing controversy over being transgendered. This show dropped the ball tremendously by making the entire canvas accept her with so much ease. It should've taken years for close minded characters to change their perspectives. Forrestors should've also experienced a backlash with Maya being the face of their company. 

 

- This show needs to add a few younger characters. RJ and Coco are not gonna be able to carry the teen set alone. Their stories are gonna grow old. It's time to age Jack and have him come home a bitter, vengeful son ready to ruin RJ's life while guilting Brooke at every turn. 

 

- Bring Thorne home permanently. The perfect time to do so was when Aly was killed off, but as usual, the show flopped on that. He needs to finally wage war against Ridge running Forrester. Dare I say it, but Thorne needs to learn from Katie about Quinn/Ridge and use that to remove Ridge from his position while falling for Katie in the process. He needs to recruit Zende and Rick in the process of this takeover.

 

- Hope needs to return. She is the Taylor to Steffy's Brooke. However, instead of changing bedfellows every blue moon, there needs to be actual story and build up behind Steffy/Wyatt/Hope/Liam.

    • They've been on same day for three episodes, which is a good thing because the days flowed weird to me before. 
    • I see both Lois and BLQs sides re Gio BLQ wanted her son to be happy. Lois wanted to make sure it happened, so she gave him to family. Selfish?  Yes, but I get it Gio was raised by a loving mother and extended family. Lois followed BLQ wishes Great acting by AS & RS

      date: Tuesday, May 27 | Christopher Dunn, Lynn Martin | Steven Williford I feel bad for Chelsea; she's exploring her feelings, and they're getting [unintentionally] hurt. But I love the support that Katherine has for her cousin. Bradley, you deserve one hundred times better than Deadbeat. So much more. Anita essentially tossing Tracy out... whew. She's done. DONE. Ouch... Chelsea hit the nerve with Katherine. How interesting... I feel like Tracy is becoming the mirror Anita has been avoiding while being a Dupree. What are these top secret things she's harbouring? I really hope Jessica's interest in Tyrell is genuine, because if it isn't, it might just destroy him. Back alley meetings? Your family? As if Bradley is not part of your family... Deadbeat, sit your ass down. Hey, Childbride, lower your damn voice. You're in the country club, not the country field where your ass belongs. And oh God, she's knocked up. Whew... here we go! Dante Greene, what control did this man have? But I appreciate that Anita and Tracy are uniting together; I pray that Sharon joins them soon. I love how easy Katherine and Tomas are with each other; it's smooth, it's natural and it's blooming in all the right ways. Hayley is about to battle the Dupree women for all she's worth. I am calling it right now. The unwavering support Vernon continues to provide to Anita is paramount; I adore them as the couple they are. Notes: Mike Manning (Bradley) continues to show up time and time again in scenes with Brandon Claybon (Deadbeat), who brings nothing to the table. There is an extreme lack of romantic chemistry between them. I'm wondering how different Dante Greene is going to be in comparison to Berry Gordy Jnr; we know the true history of Diana Ross and the Supremes, but how different will it be with Anita Williams and the Articulettes?
    • This episode is beyond excellent Could have waited on tge Trina Kai scenes  but regardless  great soap
    • Haha same! I didn't like her in the beginning, but over time, I've really grown to love to hate her as a villain.  I can't wait to listen to today's new episode later tonight! I've been waiting for the mom and dad (Crystal/Vincent) to have an interaction, so I'm happy to hear it's today.
    • I've always really been enjoying the show. It's very well produced and has so many soap stars in it. I was just listening to ep 7 on YoutTube and can say I'm hooked. There was an intense scene with Crystal Chappell and Vincent Irizarry about halfway through that was GOOD! Is it bad I kind of like Mina? I know she's supposed to be the main villian 
    • This isn't a bad episode, but I'm finding myself not as engaged. Must be the lack of Eva and Leslie. No Nicole, Dani. 
    • Yes!! I didn't realize it before, and had a busy weekend, so wasn't here much

      Wow, what happened to AMC this week? Crashing from 8.4 to 6.6.. I mean, I know they used to go up and down much more than they do today, but this seems like a harsh drop (from 7th to 13th). And nice to see Y&R's first weeks  
    • Why did they cut Chelsea coming out to her grandparents? We should have seen that
