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...

    • My comment has nothing to do with cast resentment, but does relate to the Finland location shoot: It may be a coincidence, but Jim Matthews died in Finland in 1982.  Hugh Marlowe's final episode was in April 1982, but the character probably didn't die untll May or June. (I'm unable to find the character's date of death, only the date of Marlowe's final episode). SInce Jim and Rachel had very little interaction after around 1975, it is unlikely Jim's death in Finland had any connection to Rachel's potential visit, but the choice to have Jim die in that location at that time is a head-scratcher.  I'm sure the writers sent Jim on an extended trip (and off-screen) because of Marlowe's illness.  But Finland seems like a strange choice considering the (then) recently cancelled location shoot.  
    • I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him. 
    • I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.
    • Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much. 
    •   Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year. 
    • Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go. 
    • Good morning, boys!  I figured that it was time that our Gio was introduced into the hotness thread

      @ranger1rg I even included a close up of his face for ya!
    • Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.
    • FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.
    • Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
