B&B: Veteran Actor returns

[Maxim]

 

In 2003-2004 Ridge had embraced that he is a Marone and Massimo had dinners with Steffy and the other children as their Grandfather. It was during a time where Ridge and Eric had a strained relationship. For years it was written like that and Massimo and Ridge were portrayed to have similarities. He even had a statue made in the likes of his son Ridge. Ridge was president of Marone Industries for couple of seasons.

That was also the time when Ridge embraced he is not a Forrester and felt drawn and attracted to Bridget Forrester - in one of the most disgusting storylines... he and Bridget had multiple passionate kisses and couldn't contain their desire for each-other. Bridget is... as we know... a Forrester - she is the child of Brooke and Eric Forrester.

So... all I'm saying is that Bradley once made it very clear to us the viewers that he doesn't see Ridge as a true Forrester anymore. He was a Marone... and he went as far as getting him involved with someone he thought was HIS SISTER - Bridget.

I'm just a viewer that's seen all of this... So... I just can't forget it.

And If it was just about the money... (Like you mention Stephanie's father giving him the founding start)... then Brooke has the most right to Forrester because she created BeLief and after that... the most successful lines in the company's history.

But it is not all about money.

Anyways.. I don't want to beat that dead horse for the millionth time.

We just disagree on this... And that's fine.

That era of B&B when the Jack storyline played out was dark and dreary. That said, on paper, I loved the idea of Taylor carrying Brooke’s child. It was a pretty clever twist on the classic “Who’s the daddy?” trope. It’s a real shame they’ve completely erased it from the show’s history.

Jack should come back as a major villain — stalking Brooke, gaslighting Taylor into madness. It practically writes itself. But in true B&B fashion, Brad will probably just pretend it never happened.

As for Nick… he looked leathered and very much resistible even years ago. I’m not exactly excited to see him in 2025—unless it’s just a short arc, which I’m guessing it will be.

I'm excited about this only because it's something new. It's also nice to see B&B revisiting a past character. I don't understand why they don't rotate past characters in for story arcs. Right now you have Electra but no Jessica. They could easily recast Jessica if they don't want to deal with Maitland Ward. Laura Leighton or Gina Tognoni would work in a pinch. Amber is another good example of someone who could come back for an arc.

Of course we know Brad won't do anything earth shattering with Nick but I look forward to seeing him and at least getting a summer break from the Taylor/Ridge/Brooke story.

Or cast Ivy's retconned brother(Electra's dad) and bring him on the show lol 

[bongobong]

I get your point about rotating in and out past characters... but Jessica? Why waste those actresses on such a non-entity. At least Ivy gives B&B the opportunity to promote the show in Australia where the show is popular.

Wait, I assumed Jessica was Electra's mom, I had no idea they retconned a new brother to be her father. That is even more insane than what I initially thought.

[dragonflies]

Nope she's not Electra's mom, it's some made up brother John Forrester Jr

[Chris B]

That is so stupid. Ivy is one thing but I don't understand the continued erasure of Maggie and Jessica when it comes to that side of the family.

[dragonflies]

Yeah she should have been Maggie's daughter or even grand daughter(with this show it wouldn't shock me if Jessica was a grand mother lol)
