One can only hope!

LOL read the article, he's wanting to do a bit of traveling, so he wants to take a LOA for a FEW MONTHS next year

From the article....

 

 

"I have already agreed with my boss [B&B executive producer Brad Bell] that next year or the year after that he should write me out of the story for a few months," Kaye shares (via a translated version of the original article, below), adding that he and his family are "really looking forward" to the vacation that will likely include a stop in the actor's birthplace of Frankfurt, Germany.

Hey, nice if you can get it!!

Thorsten Kaye as Ridge has to be the oddest casting choice ever.

[Melroser]

Never been a fan.  He can take years off if he'd like.

Does anyone know who else was in the running for Ridge when Ronn Moss left? 

[dragonflies]

Dunno but I do know it was said Brad wanted him for the role lol

I've always liked TK in other roles, so I was very happy to have him play Ridge.  I have to admit he's a far stretch from the Ronn Moss portrayal of Ridge.  I was always waiting for Brad to have him add a scarf to his wardrobe.

Admittedly, when he was cast, he was not *my* choice of Ridge, but, when I was watching he was a vast improvement over Moss' time in the role.

I agree with this sentiment. I just didn't get the show's choice is hiring someone with such an accent that there was no way he could be an American named Ridge Forrester. But I've admired Thorsten since his first episode as Patrick Thornhart on One Life to Live. The man was damn sexy then and is damn sexy now, despite his comments to the contrary.

Happy he's on B&B, and even happier he supports the soap genre.

Again, I would have loved to see his Ridge up against Susan Flannery’s Stephanie (and more of his siblings).

I think he has a decent rapport with JMcC and has nice chemistry with on-screen kids, especially JMW, but he’s kinda meh with KKL/Brooke.

I agree, he and KKL just fizzle, she had major chem with RM, her and TK none. He has better chem with RS, DR, LG and others

 

@Errolheck yeah, he's damn sexy

What’s Ron Moss up to these days?
