Apparently a number of B&B actors liked Ingo's anti-vaxx post. 

Not a surprise, I guess, but just another example of why soaps and social media are a putrid mix. 

I would also point out that several of them don't mind putting toxic chemicals in their faces so why do they object now...

I didn't watch during those years.  Some well aged Limburger for sure.  And is that REAL?  How long has B&B doing the body laying on the ground with 1 shoe off?  It's been done at least 5 or 6 times that I can think of, LOLLLLLLL.

JMW and Jennifer Gareis both liked Ingo's post.

Aaron D. Spears tweeted replies to around 70+ tweets today (yes 70 or more replies) to defend his(Aaron's) statement that vaccines should not be mandated. ADS thinks vaccines should be a personal choice and he said it over and over and over today.
Edit to add that the following post after mine has one of ADS's worst tweets today.

LMAO, the first fall with a shoe flying off.  This was during the "Everyone hates Rick so who is trying to kill him?" era right? I remember the show at one point pretty much had Ridge, Taylor,  Nick, Thorne, Stephanie, Steffy, Jackie, Owen etc. all plotting to kill Rick. There even was a car bomb and a random propane tank explosion LOL, and the show even brought back CJ, Jake, and Rocco as red herrings for who was trying to kill Rick.

it had never occurred to me until now but it is funny how Brad did the same thing to both Rick and Thomas: after writing them as generic romantic lead of the new generation for a while, suddenly decided to turn them into a**h***s after a recast for no obvious reason.
And then backtracking.

Yes, it was totally ripping off from Who Shot JR! I guess Bradley figured Kyle Lower had a punchable face and hey, wouldn't it be fun if everyone had a go? I don't think he would have pulled that with Jacob Young who was a bigger name, more respected in the industry, and played 3 very popular characters on 3 different soaps. As Rick, JY can play bad guy but also demands juicier, more substantive material (well, as substantive as B&B can ever be). And the whole Who Wants to Kill Rick SL was pure meta camp -- we were pretty sure no-one was truly going to be killed off. It was like, let's enjoy this parody, which is created especially for The Soup.

I literally cannot believe it. Spears? JMW (who is incidentally Canadian)? I mean, I always figured Bill Bell and his family were from old school, low-tax Republican stock, but that was a different time, and largely a different party in many ways. Moreover, Brad Bell donated to Obama's campaign and his wife got an ambassadorship to Hungary. I just assumed most actors in soaps were pretty lowkey Hollywood liberals, but it seems like a larger fraction on B&B than I thought might not be. 

IR seems fully on the Trump motorcade, as does KB, but im wondering if JMW, JG and even ADS might be more libertarian and worried about precedence in terms of decision-making over one's body (hence vaccines being considered a personal choice, etc).

I have no clue what ADS's point is regarding vaccinating buildings/bridges against suicide. Woooooo.

Ah the 2007-2011 era of B&B was so laughably bad it was awful. If I recall right it was Thomas who was the one who ended up being Rick’s would be killer although they never explained how he learned to build a car bomb lol. I miss Drew Tyler Bell was my favorite Thomas but he quit acting. So far Atkinson is my second fav Thomas because both Gregory & Fode were quite dreadful in the roles. I have the misfortune of forever seeing Gregory’s Thomas ingest those aphrodisiac berries with Brooke while stranded on a tropical island.

    • I've always said, Robert Newman does not get enough credit for the popularity of Josh/Reva. Had he stayed in '91, and had years to build other relationships before Kim returned, I'm not sure we'd have been stuck with "always".
    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
