LOL Bold will survive without both and thrive without both. I remember when KKL was doing a show in Australia in I think 2014 or 15 and ratings sky rocketed with Brooke gone and dropped when she returned lol

Lol well it can happen, but both offscreen at the same time and for an extended period??? Well that's a first let's see what happens, but I think this is truly the end of my dream for KKL to get an emmy is farther than ever!

I hope this lasts as well, but I doubt it. Thorsten has been wanting to take an extended break for a while, correct? Perfect way to do it. If KKL wants a break, too, why not?

Brooke doesn't want Ridge's mess. She doesn't need Deacon or Bill. Let her go "find herself" somewhere and Brooke can come back with a new leading man she found in Europe. Take the time to find the perfect casting that will actually have chemistry with her...and DO NOT put her in another triangle with Taylor. 

I would actually prefer a different Ridge as I've never been a fan of Thorsten.  

This would be a great time to "reboot" the show. If Ridge and Brooke take a hiatus. Finish up Sheila's story. Let Thomas leave town for a bit because he's a "black sheep" again. 

Move forward with Liam/Hope and Finn/Steffy without crossing into a triangle or quad. Bring Carter and Katie into focus with Bill's annoyance. Eric and Donna. Bring Felicia or Kristen back at Forrester. 

 

Thorsten already too his break, Casey confirmed it on a BOLD LIVE. Not to say he won't take one upcoming for next year though lol

 

I thought Thorsten has said in interviews he wants an extended break. Like many months.

That ending might be the corniest, cringiest thing I've ever seen on this show! It is about time, but this didn't need to be the way.

The interview was translated from another language and Casey said it was misinterpreted by people on social media lol. He already took the break and it wasn't extended lol

Corny & cringy... so in other words, typical Bold & Beautiful.  LOL

Say what you will y'all, but we need these hos on this show. B&B without Brooke Logan Forrester / Katherine Kelly Lang is not a show worth sustaining. She is the tentpole alongside John McCook. They're not the typical matriarch and patriarch of a long-running soap series, but they are integral regardless. If the actors are looking to take long breaks, B&B's team need to beef up the next generation and/or bring back other Forrester children to take over the mantle. Lesli Kay? Winsor Harmon? (I'd probably opt for a recast Kristen Forrester and her husband if they were looking to bring her back longterm... Tracy Melchior is kinda weak sauce)

Eh Brooke isn't needed, but if they insist on her being around, let her lose once in awhile, she's not rootable the way they're currently writing her.

Adam Dusevoir is such a nice guy. I use to chat with him on social media when Jacob Young was still on the show and I watched B&B regularly. He always listened to the fans and never was nasty like other writers.  He took criticism very well.

Taylor and Brooke spoke for all of us today 😂😂

Yes yes this was a really great moment!

 

 

A high-five freeze frame???  I was LMAO when I saw this.  B&B sure knows how to bring out the pure cheesiness.  haha

12-13

 

Wait. Was that the last of Sheila?

 

Or is that their way of having her migrate over to Y&R for the anniversary year?

Exactly. They could've made it a lot more down to Earth.

Good theory. I foresee a short stint on Y&R, especially with Daniel back - she is Lucy's grandmother. Sheila will return to B&B and somehow get out of this mess. Hey, Taylor shot Bill (premeditated) and everyone has just swept that under the rug.

KB is still ratings gold to the show that was proven with the unusually high ratings of the special Halloween episode. Just bring Diana along to meet her brothers Ridge and Finn as well as her niece/sister-in-law Steffy. They have so much story that hasn't been touched instead of the usual rehashing.

Bill said he won't press charges, so technically it wasn't swept under the rug lol
