Steffy is a shrew.  However Comma And although I don’t watch much - I did look up from a presentation I was giving, put it on mute, gave people a pee break. And yelled a gutteral MM! MMM? MMMMMMUH!   Finn may have turned dumb, but damn I’d shuck him until there was nothin left but an empty husk.  His athletic lean sinewy needy body. Shewwwww

This is like a poem!

It really should be so easy for someone to tear Steffy apart for her hypocrisy, but because Bradley is obsessed with the whole namesake and JMW becoming Susan Flannery, I think this is how it will be where Steffy always wins by being a judgemental scheming shrew, without any consequence as Bradley often wrote Stephanie those last few years...

[Maxim]

Not possible. 

But he definitely wants it to happen. You are 100 percent right!!!!!!

[YRfan23]

It shouldn't be remotely possible, but Bradley is definitely pushing this agenda cause I really think he's forever resented the fact that Susan got smart and up and left because she realized how Shi*ty the writing for Stephanie was. JMW has been his "new" muse for sometime. 

[Maxim]

At this point, Steffy is nothing more than one-dimensional antagonist for me. He tried to humanize her again with the Lunatic story... but she is just... incredibly 1 note. This has nothing to do with JMW. I actually like her as an actress and would place her maybe on my 2nd or 3rd place in the show. The only thing I don't like lately is how they are doing her hair!

I agree, I really do want to like Steffy more (there actually was a bit of time I did warm up to her for a bit.) and it's a shame so much potential has been wasted on this constant one-dimensional writing for her....but again that's pretty much how Bradley saw her namesake, and again he's determined to make that stick for as long as he's in charge....

[Maxim]

The show will end before Steffy even remotely resemble Stephanie Forrester. Sadly for Bradley, he had the worst luck to FOLLOW his father William Bell... and we know gold from garbage.

Ok then I’m on….I have felt the same because I think, she’s a strong actress, but this is terrible.  Soooo mannnnnny things need to be thrown in their face when those gloves came off.  Like - you and your nutso son, Steffy/Liam/Wyatt just as incestuous as my daughter but she gets a pass?  Etc.

This is the strongest material Bradley has given Scott Clifton in the last 12 months.  God... if Liam was more like Scott... he is such a charmer! And Liam is NOT. 

 

Yep. Someone needs to get these things out in the open. Steffy is not someone who should be throwing stones, when she is living in a glass house.

Who are your top 3?

But @soapfan770 how can you not like someone with such a SOAPY name as Daphne Rose.

Is she campy? Yes. Did I like it? Oh, yes. lol. I was wondering what the point of the perfume designer was. And then that reveal? Oooooo Steffy how scheming of you. Such a soapy reveal. 

 

Ridge continues to be ain't sh&t.

[Maxim]

Acting wise? 

Easy picks.

1.Crew Morrow - he is acting circles around the cast. His scenes with electra, are... filled with so much chemistry.

2.Tanner Novlan - that man chose to stay in Bold, when he probably could get in high-budget cinema any day he wanted. So much talent. 

3.Murielle Hilaire - she is giving me Susan Flannery realness the moment she stepped in front of the screen. And that little moment with the scarf! Talk about iconic, girl!

ill

KKL should get an Emmy nom and if they pick the right reel, she can win this time. 

[soapfan770]

Sorry but not sorry but the Ridge & Taylor, or Ridge 2.0 & Taylee or whatever scenes do not work for me at all, and I say this as someone who was a massive Ridge & Taylor stan back in the day 20-30 years ago.

RB & TK have zero chemistry and feel like complete strangers to me. This might have been interesting if HT or KA were here, but nope RB does not work for me at all. Decent actress but is not Taylor. She could’ve easily been a new character or if we had to a recast of some previous lost love interest ie Alex Simpson, Heather, or hell Shauna lol but no no no. 

At least we finally have gotten Donna involved in this story, spying on Ridge & Taylor and providing intel. Much overdue. 
 

And did I see right:
