This show has become painful to watch. New Thomas is a dreadfully bad actor, the story line is lame and really boring. I keep waiting for something to change but its s.o.s. Not a fan anymore…after 20 years…sad
young & restless AND bold and beautiful have become very boring……
If Hope doesn’t get her baby back and know it is hers very soon I am going to stop watching this show!!! This is so ridiculous, so unbelievable, so stupid!
Exactly… I agree
I used to watch this show after Young & Restless. I stopped watching it because it’s horrible. I can’t stand Ridges voice or Brooks for that matter. The woman who plays Brooke is a rotten actress. The thing that broke the camel’s back for me was the ridiculous Hope, Steffi, Liam triangle. I cannot stand the girl who plays Hope. And the whole story line was absurd and NOT BELIEVABLE AT ALL. Ditto the story line with Zoey who started out as a stalker who did rotten things and a of a sudden she’s a super model. Can’t stand Steffi… Read more »
I personally think it is time for all soaps to go because the storylines are repeated over and over again.We are use to looking at them over the years.It’s time for something new.
I am so sick of two men fighting over Brooke Logan. It’s old, tired, and played out like she is. They have nothing better for her character to do. I thought the story line of the Avant Family was interesting, especially when another guy could come between Rick’s marriage. The writers screwed that up as well. I enjoy seeing Ridge and Bill fight, but over Brooke makes the show not worth watching. I would enjoy seeing the other Forrester children back on the show. I think a crooked Clark Garrison could do the show justice. He did so back in… Read more »
The Bold and the Beautiful is nothing but a big joke anymore. Everyone on this show has slept or be married to each other for many many years. Brook, Eric, Ridge, Katie, Liem, Steffy, they are good actors, but this back and forth with each others partners is getting old. Brook, she needs to Die Off and bring in some new blood to stir things up.. How many times can she marry Ridge and Bill, And Eric the same back and forth.. I use race home on my lunch our before DVR to watch, Now with DVR I find myself… Read more »
I love Young & Restless. You need to let Nick and Sharon get married. Very disappointed in the recent story lines same old stuff . Not enough to keep it interesting anymore to drawn out.
This is not about Y&R lets keep it simple. Although, that story sucks just as bad, if not worse…
Get rid of The Bold and the Beautiful. It’s starting to stink. Same old crap different day
I have been watching this show since the beginning and have always loved it, however, I am very disturbed by some of the story line these days…..in particular the way that Thorne is practically forcing Katie to seek soul custody of Will…..having lived thru a couple of manipulative relationships myself it rubs me the wrong way. I really can’t stand it for them making her look weak & no mind of her own to begin with but he is just forcing the issue where he absolutely has NO business doing so!! This entire story line has made me not stand… Read more »
I love all of the soaps and tape them every day. Please don’t cancel any of the remaining 4.
