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.

Repeat of Episode #9049 (Season 36, Episode 190)
Original airdate June 26, 2023

Liam confides in Wyatt about his trip to Rome.


(This is the one where Andrea Bocelli was on tour in the US and filmed on set in L.A., but the episode was written as if Bocelli was in Rome)

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.

    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
