I am sorry but the current Bridge have NO CHEMISTRY. It's been that way ever since TK came on. It's just that... he gives off a vibe of a more... rough around the edges kinda guy... who would never fall in love with this cliche blonde Brooke. Brooke is a lot more sweet to the taste, and sorry, even if she is my favorite pot stirrer, Brooke is syrupy in love. All she does is cry or be idiotically happy. She is not rough around the edges and looks like an ex-high level escort. Her whole vibe is sex and seduction and sugary romance... TK's Ridge doesn't fit in this vibe. When I look at him I feel he would be a lot more interested in a woman like Taylor... or even Katie. Ridge when played by Ronn Moss on the other hand was PERFECT duet with Brooke - he was a male version of her, narcissistic, posh and looking like a hardcore player who knows ever trick in the book. He had the perfect abs and perfect chin and Brooke was the sexy slut from the valley, in pink lingerie. They fed off of each-other's fakeness and narcissism. That's why this couple worked in the past, but DOES NOT WORK since 2012. I am sorry. Brooke needs something a lot different and a more classic type of man. TK's Ridge is too rough and too real for Brooke. She needs someone GOD like to be obsessed with. TK is MILLION times better actor than RM, but he lacks the iconic look. He just feels like a guy you know... a guy who can change a light bulb and fix a broken bike. And at last - they don't look as a pretty couple together.

I agree 100%. 
TK & KKL have negative chemistry. 
I’ll also add that I couldn’t care less about TK being - supposedly - such a good actor.

It’s not what’s required from the role. We want a narcissistic, grown-ass himbo. If only TK left, I’d be all for a new recast Ridge.

With ratings dropping so much, It should be a slap to the face for Bradley and a lesson to never do this boy who cried wolf type storyline about DYING. Next time when Eric actually is dying... are we GOING TO SEE a repeat of this. Or is it going to be 2 times longer... I am sorry, but I can't stomach another 6 months of is he going to die or isn't he. It's distasteful.

He doesn't look like her belongs in Forrester, sorry. Or anything fashion-related. It is a bad casting choice and for such a main character... shows how clueless Bradley is. Bill Bell created Ridge and would never have agreed, in my opinion, to cast TK as him.

    • Christian Streaty penned today's Day's script. https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-streaty/
    • Yes, they did.  I still have them.  I think there were three.  AMC and GH as well.
    • Ah okay, thats what I thought. I was hoping I missed the announcement somewhere. Thanks for the clarification.
    • A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

    • Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.
    • When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist. 
    • Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.
