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.

Monday January 1, 2024
Repeat of Episode #9049 (Season 36, Episode 190)
Original airdate June 26, 2023
Brooke surprises Ridge with a romantic gesture.
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.

    • 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?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
