Kudos to Heather Tom for her directing on the 2/29 episode. Emmy worthy. So freaky and strange. 

I believe that Brad Bell is in the soap history books for being the headwriter of the same soap opera continually for 30+ years. No other headwriter has that achievement. Not bad for cheap thrills. Viewers keep tuning in.

Ah she did?  Finn kneeling down and touching Sheila's blood stain was effective.

Hope, talking about Steffy: "I'm just in shock that she took her husband's birth mother's life."

Who talks like this?????

[janea4old]

Fyi, Heather Tom directed both Feb. 28 and Feb. 29.  I haven't had a chance to watch either yet.  Was going to skip it because the plot is so preposterous, but if the directing is good, maybe I will.

It was better production wise than what we've seen lately. Kudos to Heather.

Victor: have you been in touch with my fohmuh wife Nikkehhhh - the mother to my children Nicholas and Victoriaaaa?    Brad’s Dad had God awful scripts sometimes.  Cringe 

[Liberty City]

The soap [finally] used photos not from Gilles Toucas, and they didn't release them, nor the previous [final] Toucas shoot. disappointing.

But Novlan still cannot act.

[dragonflies]

Actually Tanner can act, but then again some of y'all like to say TK can't act either, so it's hard to take y'all seriously. Tanner's a damn good actor.  Same ones who say KKL can act(one tear down the cheek isn't acting LMAO) or using a baby doll voice)

I think Tanner can act...But there is room for improvement.  It wouldn't hurt him to have an acting coach.  I mean you could say that about a ton of actors.  Tanner has done modeling and commercials, that doesn't require acting.  He is green when it comes to emoting; and he needs to work on his facial expressions.  Playing opposite a powerhouse like JMW makes it more apparent.  I say all this as a fan.  No big.

Ok, so I will have to say it. Tanner was insanely bad in the last couple of episodes and anyone could see it.  But Bold has always had male actors that are at the level of porn-acting. Bold thrives with male actors so cringey... when they always had some of the best ladies to compensate. 

I just think they could have somehow... changed the dialogue a bit, so that Tanner won't sink in it, like he did. They gave him stuff, that they knew are going to look absurd. So I again blame the writer. Not the actor. They should have knows his limits. 

Also I don't see a reason to start comparing actors. If someone says that A can't act... it's kinda petty to start talking about B. This is focus-changing and a technique to make something stop looking so bad. But in 2024, It makes even more apparent that A can't act and that you are defending them. There is no reason to defend. Nobody is attacking him. We all like him and his body and face. And we all know Tanner is here because he is a great looking man and has charisma. But I completely understand @Liberty City's opinion and the others too. I myself was scared to say it, since here we have something like a cult following and I don't want to trigger people, who are easily triggered. Never my intention. 

But IF YOU WANT TO compare - KKL has never been Susan Flannery, but she can act circles around Tanner Novlan. That little tear from the left eye has legends written about it. She has survived for nearly 40 years in the business *most seasons acting in more than 200 episodes a year - lead storylines*and has had moments where she has ACTED near the level of the greats. She is not the most consistent one, but she rarely gives the level of cringe Tanner gives... or Ronn gave.

Tanner could have played a perfect Thomas Forrester, if Ronn Moss was still around, they would have looked so related.
