The Bold and the Beautiful

I can't believe how bad this is. I've only been tuning in about twice a week for about four months. I find the writing predictable and the characters annoying. It's almost as if someone decided to try to come up with the worst soap ever. Well, they succeeded. Wait - I think the ill - fated Passions might have been a tie, but that at least was funny. This is like soap opera 101, maybe geared to the junior high crowd. The men are all controlling and the women are like characters from the 1950s.

I'm sad to see Jacob Young here. I was a big fan of All My Children, we all know what's happening with that. AMC was everything that this is not; it had great writing, it was classy and the actors made the characters come alive.

Also I'm surprised that Bell also produces Young and the Restless, which is far superior to this drivel.

Chemistry between Ridge and the NEW Taylor

First I have to say that I LOVE he show, you are my 5:30 evasion moment, but I wish there was more creativity and mystery in the storyline. After 40 years of watching, it would be nice to feel excited again. Too often, it feels like just a repeat with a twist. This is disappointing, and it's the same with Y&R-recycled plots and too many characters coming and going. Where are those special moments?

That said, the Taylor we ( the viewers knows) is the sexy bombshell, soft and intriguing...and the fire and chemistry are there,🔥 . To top it, this unspoken tension,,, and that's why I watch B&B daily. Please, give us back the spark that made the show special!"

How much longer is this show going to make Hope be in pain over losing Beth? I am about to stop watching this show. Then this show is going to have Steffy adopt Hope's baby!! That's wrong as wrong can be!!! Your story line is Ridiculous and I hate it!!!

OMG some one needs to fire the writers. The story lines are sad and sorry. Everything is so predictable. The sad story lines are even make the actors act weak and sad. Who hasn't screwed someone on this show. Can't y'all come up with new people? If the writers need help coming up with new material I'm willing to help. I'm not even a writer but I know bad writing. I go weeks without watching this show and when I start back watching it's like it's in the same scenes that I left off at. This show needs a major overhaul. At least we've gotten a break from Liam's whining. Please end it now!!!!!!!!!

This show is a pathetic excuse for a soap opera filled with lackluster repetitive storylines and clunky dialogue. The majority of scenes are just women fighting each other over a man, losing all sense of self-respect by debasing themselves to make him happy. First it was Brooke and Taylor over Ridge and then their daughters Hope and Steffy over Liam.

Then there's the never ending slut shaming for any woman who wishes to be sexually active and nothing to be said for the men who cheat on them. There's nothing new or groundbreaking being explored, some soap operas can be used to raise awareness for important issues but all B&b wants to do is stick to the same calcified status quo it's had since the 80s and not introduce anything progressive.
