except that Hunter Tylor is a decade older than either recast

With the huge storyline shift/pace energy + RB being cast, I'm betting CBS ordered Brad to shape up.

Why? B&B will be 'The Gates' lead-in in almost every market. A strong B&B can only help TG's launch

when they showed Steffy's phone call from her mother. It read

                                   Dr. Taylor Hayes

                                          (Mom)

Seriously??? Who labels their mother like that as a contact???

Don’t we just love B&B moments like these?

Aside from her birth year, Budig looks 42...

Kill it with fire.

I think it's a stupid choice of actress to play Steffi's mom.  The last Taylor was great!

I will say they certainly got my attention with this, I’ll be tuning in to see just how much of a mess this recast is.

and aside from the fact that Hunter Tylo and the character were about 62 or 63 since she and Brooke are supposed to be about the same age and now Tayor really is 10 years younger hahahahaha

The idea that Brooke's 2-minute video from a 1994 vault is causing her line to go viral is hilarious -- I guess that's the only kind of camp we can get from BOLD these days.

RB looks as if she'd pass for Ridge's daughter...not TAYLOR. She in no way looks to be of the same generation as KKL. It's such a head scratcher. 

Why couldn't RB have played a brand new character who perhaps had a past with Ridge? Can this show even TRY to do something original? We've seen Brooke/Ridge/Taylor 1,456,328 times! We don't need to see it again. 

I feel sorry for RB. I LOVED her on AMC, but Brad Bell will much this up so bad and she's so miscast, he'll probably drop her in a few months.

Getting some Maura West/Diane Jenkins vibes from this casting choice. Given that the show achieved the near-impossible in a successful Taylor recast a few years ago, I’m not sure why this was necessary.

May I say that I ENJOYED seeing Steffy acting more warm and normal for AN EPISODE. She was not her usual negative, argumentative, unhappy woman. She had this calm and confident thing about her. I AM LIVING FOR THIS Steffy and I want Bradley to write her more like this. More like her mother in the classic days. I also like how Annika is portraying this insane jealousy. This girl BETTER never be RECAST, or I'll be soo mad.

AND Congrats to everyone for not seeing Liam for days and days. I just realized that in 2024... Liam is nowhere to be seen most of the time... And I'm giving HUGE Kudos to Bradley.
