Bold & Beautiful getting tiresome

Novemberbaby — Sat, 10 Mar 2018 22:55:55 GMT

This show desperately needs some new people & storylines. It is to the point where they have all been married to each other, multiple times even so they are directly or indirectly related to each other. Hope butting into Liam's marriage is getting old, Eric & Quinn have nothing to do anymore, Nick does nothing but mope around & go from place to place & gossip. Sharon is pathetic. Whatever happened to the curly headed dude that was to write a book about Big Vic? Why are all these fancy offices not carpeted & all you hear is womens shoes clomping all the time, and why are they always so dark? I had to vent...sorry!

@Novemberbaby All I will say is that I "feel your pain" regarding B&B. With Y&R, I am hanging on in there. Scott was written off the show. I forgot that he was supposed to write a book about Victor. I don't like the fact that the writers turned Victoria into a mean ole witch. Victor always seem to figure things out with the exception of Abby's criminal boyfriend and the fact that Victoria set up Ashley.

The Bold and The Beautiful has been on the air for 30-plus years. The Young and The Restless more than 40 years. Over the years, the storylines have been repeated over and over and over again. I bailed out over 10 years ago, finally had enough!

Because I never liked Heather Tom as Victoria on Y&R, I stopped watching B&B a long time ago when she dropped in there. Also I couldn't bear another Brook and Ridge "thing".

But now I am beginning to tire of Y&R also. I don't like the Hillary character and the show is becoming more and more the Hillary hour. Don't like turning Mariah into a less interesting character (to me at least). Sorry they got rid of Scott, and very tired of many of the newer folks they're bringing in. Not ready for another Victor/Ashley thing. Billy and Phyllis - yuck. There's just nothing going on in Genoa City that appeals to my continued interest. Really sorry, but soon I kinda think it'll be off my viewing list. Can anyone help peak my interest?

We all feel your pain. There've been times when it's been hard to 'hang in there' but this is a long stretch of ....ugh...hanging in there.

I'm afraid they'll cancel the show! It's so freaking boring.

@Perkup You may want to hang in a little longer for Dena. It hurts me because a loved one had dementia, but I respectfully want to see the storyline through the end.

Other than that, there is nothing else going on that I can suggest that you change your mind. I too am disappointed with the route the show has headed.

@Annabellethecat66, I really did not want to start, but I don't understand why they keep bringing in these reality stars to the cast. Although they are temporary, the acting is not good.

GEneral Hospital is just as bad .... in a few years all the soaps will be cancelled .... bad writers = bad storylines!!!

But if all the daytime dramas are cancelled, what will the networks produce to replace them? Talk shows hosted by B-list celebrities?

@Msfitness I agree! Did you see the woman from "The Talk" on B&B? Cheryl is her name. He's a real fan of the show.

You could tell she wasn't a very good actress...but it was kinda fun seeing her get her wish.

Soaps has always been about long lasting characters where the viewer invests time and knows the character.

However, in the past few years they're in and then they're out....can't keep track of them....then what I think is the worst thing......

The writers totally change the personality of the character! I think that's a kiss of death for a soap character.

I have so many memories of when I was raising my two girls (I have 3 but the last is 5 years younger).

I'd put them down for a nap and watch my soaps. It was a wonderful time. I have always (and still do) love being a wife and grandmother.

I loved being a wife too. I was able to do all of the things I'd dream about when I was a child and my life was so terrible.

Re: Bold & Beautiful getting tiresome

@Annabellethecat66 You're right! Also, I don't know what to say about Cheryl's acting. LOL One of the dancers from Dance Moms said on her FaceBook page that she will be an intern at Forrester Creations. She took a picture while she was on set. Maybe B&B does not have a large budget to hire good seasoned actors. If Katherine Kelly Lang and John McCook leave the show, I cannot imagine it lasting much longer. It's like a revolving door.

@Annabellethecat66 You're right about changing the characters. Both Ridge and Hope's personalities changed once they changed actors. Eric is not the strong man he used to be either. Katie went cray cray at one point.

I think they have too many characters. All we need is Bill!

Re: Bold & Beautiful getting tiresome

Big Joanie — Sun, 11 Mar 2018 06:24:13 GMT

You are right ... I'll take Bill any day of the week ....They could just have

him on for a half hour and i would be happy ....

I'm sorry to be redundant because I've said it before, but speaking of actors and recasts and so on, this incarnation of Ridge is just a non-starter... The man always looks like he just jumped out of a dirty clothes hamper... I can't for the life of me believe he was the best they could come up with...

I agree about Dena. She is the most interestsing person to hit the show in years. (Other than maybe Scott) They dressed her in such beautiful clothes and at first I thought she was going to be a strong character. Very disappointed in what they have done with her character. I have enormous empathy for "her ailment" but I don't need to see it played out on the screen. Now how could they bring her back to really contribute?

I completely agree about Dina... I was hoping to see her take her place as the head of the Abbot family and a Genoa City society maven... Socially 'relevant' story lines are nice, but given Dina had been gone for some time and had no real pull on the heart strings, they could've played this one out with another character introduced for that express purpose... Disagree, though, about Scott. I thought his was an awful casting job and while I came to sort of like the character, I'm not missing him... If they bring him back, I hope they recast him... Next time around, they might consider someone actually believable as Lauren's son...

Re: Bold & Beautiful getting tiresome

About Dina, I was hoping they'd discover that Graham was drugging her to simulate dementia or something along those lines and that they could have her character 'intact' for the longer haul... I guess they've decided to play it out as they intended, but it's really a waste of the first meaningful cast addition they've had in a long time. As much as I like her, I do hope they don't prolong the current state of affairs. Her screen time these days is more grating or upsetting than it is entertaining...

For the life of me I cannot understand why they would pick that

actor to play Ridge .....Geeez ...
