B&B: Veteran Actor returns

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.

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.

You are right about that... but only in the first few seasons with Nick. Then...she did beg after couple of rounds. That's when it started NOT WORKING. When they paired him with Taylor... that's when sh-t hit the fan. Brooke would beg him to choose her every single day. It was unbearable to watch. I remember there was a scene where she went in and jumped him on bed, while he was engaged to Taylor... and begged him to make love to her. That's when Taylor came and diagnosed her with - "You're narcissistic, histrionic and quite frankly... I think you're borderline."

Thanks for the history. I knew I was missing some stuff. Or maybe forgot on purpose. I just always remember that their beginning was so flirty, fun, and full of romance. 

And they had a random kid out there, but Taylor carried him. There was no need to make Nick another Ridge who couldn't decide who he wanted.

They definitely made him that. And him picking between her and her daughter every other day was also painful to watch at least at the later stages. At first it was just another of Brooke's pathological relationships and it kinda worked in a disgusting type of way. But yes, the beginning had this amazing charm and love to it. And their chemistry was WOOOF. 

I'm so interested to see if they can still ooze this from the screen.

New Details Emerge About Jack Wagner's Return to B&B as Nick
https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/new-details-emerge-about-jack-wagners-return-to-bb-as-nick/


First airdate June 13.
Will also be in the Italy episodes that air in July 2025.

(His appearance in the Italy episodes was already mentioned on other threads. Just adding it to his casting thread as well.)

EDIT:  as another poster said upthread, there must be an error. Deadline said back in April that his first airdate is June 13.  SOD must have missed that the May 8 preemption would move that to June 16.

    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?     
    • The Bell soaps, B&B and Y&R: cannot watch. If I went by the last time I did I would have to give them both D- but I really don't think it counts when you're not a daily watcher.  DAYS: B+ (Now this is with the knowledge that for years I have given this show a D- because I've been a fan for too long to give it the F it deserved.) GH: A+ (With Korte driving this bus to me the show is so much better! IMO we just had the best NB in so many years I cannot count!) BTG: A solid (Things I love, a few I do not, nothing I hate, still find it in general remarkable.) As always, thanks for doing this thread. I count it. I always look for it & I always post. 
    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
