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...

    • Hotel was The Love Boat on land but a little soapier. I will forever maintain that Hotel was a time slot hit. I don't believe that 1983/84 Hotel was a better show than Knots Landing.

    • The timing is strange, though. How far in advance would they normally be on location? The Achille Lauro hijacking was on October 7, 1985. Nancy had arrived in Egypt in the storyline by October 18. But the character of Hawk, Chris' Native American friend from Arizona, had already appeared onscreen by September and brought a letter telling Chris to be in Egypt by October 25th.  Why did they already have the link to Arizona before the reason to cancel the shoot in Egypt?  The dust and the jar it came in were from Egypt though. Nancy bought it there and sent it to Mac as a gift before she came back to the states and followed Chris to Arizona.
    • Actually that is not what happened. Nor is the timing right for it to have been. We learned from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay  in 2006, which can be found on YT, that it was Fred Silverman's idea to do the 90 minute show. I don't know how much you know about him but he had these amazing successes as head of daytime at both ABC & at CBS. Then he came to NBC where basically everything he touched turned NOT TO GOLD but to shite. Some of the most expensive shows ever produced up to that time were huge flops. Although even he, like a broken clock, could be right on occasion. However, as we know, he was not right about the 90 minute show. As a matter of fact, afterward,  NBC programmers, who worked FOR him, were asked why they did it & they were quoted as saying it was because they couldn't think of anything else to try. It was a stupid idea from a man who had reached the point where he was throwing anything at the wall to see if it would stick.

    • I stopped watching Another World in 1990. Simply, lost interest in the show.  I had watched the show from 1973 to 1990. The 90 minute show started the decline of AW.  NBC panicked with expanding AW due to the GH hoopla. As mentioned above, 1982 was a trainwreck for AW.  The introduction of the Shea family, the movie storyline involving Jamie, and Steve Frame favoring Rachel over Alice. The writers went into that direction due to the forgettable performance of Linda Borgeson.

    • Ive seen that theory thrown out but the one thing against it is that Leslie and her family lived in Chicago. She only came back to DC last year after her husband died. Unless they say Alan made a trip to DC and died while away, she wouldnt know about that. However I do think the angle of her finding out that Martin was involved could work as that gives her leverage against Bill too for covering it up. She'd want to get revenge on him by threatening to have him disbarred
    • What a good write-up @Errol! Nice seeing the nod to Duplaix's lead.
    • The Egypt location shoot was cancelled because of the Achille Lauro cruise ship hijacking
