    NO Chemistry between Ridge and the NEW Taylor+ same recycled stories over and over again!

    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!"

    Christine.

    One of the biggest insults to women on tv

    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.

    BORING.... DRAWN OUT WAY TOO LONG

    I used to like the show but the way it's drawn out with this soap and the Hope/baby story is boarding on absurdity. Week after week goes by and finally someone gets a conscience to tell the truth and then they change their mind. Are the creators and writers of this program so unimaginative that they can't come up with the new storyline, and therefore drag this on and on and on for months? I used to watch it faithfully but now I just tune in once in a great while to see if the truth has come out., but no dice. I guess maybe that'll happen when the kid goes to college. End this stupid storyline and get on with it!!!!

    Have all writers gone on an extended vacation

    Wondering why we have seen the same story line for the last few months. I am so sick of this never ending "will they tell, and of course they will not tell: for so long now that I have made the decision that watching this show from the very first episode, I am so sick of watching every day the same story line. Think it is time to put this stupid soap behind me and move on because the show has become boring. I am switching to the game channel, watching a reruns of the game shows has to be better than this soap. Now I am down to watching just one soap, The Young and the Restless. At least they have a show I try not to miss so I can keep up, but with The Bold and the Beautiful, I missed 3 weeks and find I missed NOTHING. Sorry, but your show sucks now.

    A Pantomine.

    My wife watches this religiously.

    I am an Aussie tradie, I get home from work and this is on the TV.

    I collapse on the couch, check out E mails, Facebook, whatever. I am in no way 100% checked in on the show, but am quite familiar with the characters, occasionally I will piss myself laughing at the plot.

    My wife gets angry, apparently it's not a comedy. But seriously people at times it's got to be the funniest thing I've ever seen.

    I love Bill's shirts; gotta get me some of them. Brooke had to be a working girl at some stage, probably employed Stephi, the murderous skank. All good though, we have Liam, apparently male, but hey far be it from me to suggest he is the epitome of a suicidal teenage lesbian.

    Sheila and her partner, is it Deegin or Deakin? Who knows, got married by Ron Howard's brother Clint. (Mind you I am still pissing myself laughing), the last time I saw him was in Gentle Ben. Anyways Hope (or is it hopeless) is still heartbroken because Thomas (or is it Thomarse) has moved on after his two rejected proposals..

    Anyway the whole show is incredibly humorous, at least to me because I work for a living, and have real world issues.

    If any of the intellectually disturbed oysters that write this stuff suddenly get called away, hey give me a call. I can continue the mindless dribble on offer that apparently constitutes TV 'Drama', yes I am still pissing myself laughing.

    • Trivia
      As of 2025, John McCook and Katherine Kelly Lang are the only actors still in the show since the first episode from 1987.
    • Goofs
      The interior of the Forrester mansion does not match the exterior of the house it was based on (creators William J. Bell and Lee Phillip Bell's); the front entrance is the same however from the outside you can see this part of the house is single-story only, whereas inside are high vaulted ceilings and a staircase to the right of the front doors leading to a second floor. The house also has large bay windows on either side of the entrance but these are not present in the interior set.
    • Quotes

      Stephanie: You think this is all my fault? You have brought this on yourself.

      Brooke: All I ever did, Stephanie, was to love Ridge.

      Stephanie: And his father, and his brother, and your son-in-law. Is it any wonder Bridget is confused? I mean, is it any wonder your daughter would confuse natural feelings of respect and affection for romance? You have blurred the lines of socially-acceptable behaviour. And you stand here and you tell me you're proud. What are you proud of? Having your son-in-law's baby? I know what you're proud of. Chasing after a man whose wife's body is barely cold in the ground.
