I've stopped watching. I just saw some clips on instagram from today... and looked like Ridge was acting like a jerk to Carter, talking so rude and demanding sh-t... with his pitbull daughter standing next to him ready to bark at any second. Bold is just not worth it at this condition that it is in. Boring Will and Electra are the nail in the coffin for my interest to die completely. If I hear or see something that may interest me... I may tune in, but for now... I'll watch soap classics and wait for BTG.

Carter is going to risk both his law license and career to forge a legal document with Hope egging him on. Unbelievable. The two characters that have basically been B&B moral center are conspiring to steal FC. The least they could do is put Brooke in charge.

Unlike the BeLief legal saga, which was so well done, this doesn't hold water at any point.

I could totally buy into the Will/Electra/Stalker story if it was done 6 months from now. Why are they rushing this??? For a relative newbie, CM is doing just fine. Let's compare him to the two Forrester cousins...

I also disliked The Vine, the character. I forgot how much I liked AB. I always though the material didn't serve her well at all. I like the protective aunt vibe with Electra.

Sadly, there's only two available men on B&B - Liam & $B. While she's not blood related to Zende, Thomas and RJ, even B&B wouldn't go there.

I remember when weeks ago a lot of people were praising Will's acting abilities. I forgot the actor's name, I'm getting old, and the gin is not forgiving, sorry.  And I felt like the odd one out,  who was not that impressed. Yes, I still find him charming, but maybe for a hair wax commercial. Something's missing. He just stands there and stares and smiles. And the lovey dovey scenes with Electra are undescribably cringe. He doesn't have any chemistry with her. Maybe they'll push her into Bill's dirty bed too, since Bradley doesn't know what to do with any of his new characters. I just don't want to be subjected to the torture of hearing Will and Electra talk to each other. In this show people don't know what subtext is, they constantly either tell each other how beautiful or hot they are and how they love each other or they spew hate at one another like they are cartoon characters.

No play with words. No double meanings. No sarcasm. No irony. No venom. No edge. No wit. No substance.

Flat. Flat. Basic. Flat. Boring. Boring. Flat. Vanilla-safe.

I don't know why I do this to myself and continue watching. I must be a masochist. Cancel this drivel or hire a new head writer!

I watched the episodes I had missed last week, just to see if something may change my mind... about stopping watching this drivel... and No. It's unbearable. And at this point... I am pulling the plug. Not worth my time. I don't even plan on making the monthly topics anymore, since I am not interested in this show anymore. I would be glad... if anyone else could do it...

 Last time I was so disappointed and bored with the show... I didn't watch for years. And I don't think what can bring me in again. Especially now... since BTG is coming on the horizon... and I have my classic Another World... My tolerance for Bradley's drivel has... lowered. I mean... it is quite impossible to watch a Harding Lemay or Donna Swajeski episode of Another World... and then watch 2024 Bold. It's painful. Unbearable.

So yes, guys, I'm tuning out! Again... you can find me in the AW topic probably and in the Off-topic section... but I'm done with this show. I will miss the laughter and the joy we used to have roasting the show, but... I'm done. I'm not supporting Bradley Bell by keeping the attention and the clout about his show... alive. I'm tuning out! Happy watching to all who can still manage to watch it... and again... give me a signal if Brooke does something really bad or scandalous!

Meh.

 

I admit that they almost had me. I thought they would spin Taylee off to a new tale after her talk with Brooke about not needing a man. Instead...more aroma therapy. RME.

 

I do like the charming romance of Will/Electra so far. But alas, I feel that it's moving too fast with the stalker. Not that I dislike the idea of the stalker. But alas...

    • 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.
