The End of an ERA

I watched today's episode in complete disbelief. THE QUEEN, STEPHANIE FORRESTER IS GONE. Seriously, it was like watching my G.G. die all over again. Very heart wrenching. Lots of people were highly upset at the fact that Queen had her last moments with Brooke. I have mixed emotions about that.

I like the fact that Bell had Stephanie and Brooke come full circle. For them to admit that they hurt each other, and pretty much let bygones, be bygones is great. Stephanie handing Brooke her ring was great. I like the fact that Brooke acknowledged that it should've went to one of her daughters, but Queen insisted. That was a beautiful moment. What would've been fab is if Eric would've left the meeting and went straight to cabin, instead of hanging out watching a goodbye DVD. WTF BELL? John McCook and Susan Flannery were the core couple who started the whole damn show, for them not to have the last moment, I just don't understand. Nevertheless, Katherine Kelly Lang and Susan Flannery delivered a stellar performance. STELLAR. It would've been nice to see Ashley Jones (Bridget, Adrienne Frantz (Amber), RJ or ALLY (Stephanie's grandchildren) make an appearance or maybe a Queen and Ridge montage, but hey...I'm just a fan. I don't write the scripts.

Heather Tom and Hunter Tylo (Katie and Taylor) are really knocking it out of the park with this PPD storyline. I like the fact that they acknowledged the fact that Taylor suffered through PPD as well. Heather's performance was phenomenal. Really had me feeling for her. Taylor is much more tolerable when she's trying to help someone rather than pointing her finger in Brooke's face, or just prancing around Forrester doing nothing. Let's keep this Taylor around. 

I've really enjoyed BOLD for the past few weeks. The adults have been delivering outstanding performances. In my opinion, the views want to see realistic story lines. For example, texting while driving was a great storyline. The PPD storyline was brilliant. Not too many people are aware of the illness. Cancer storyline was brilliant. I've seen spoilers around talking about LEFFY/LOPE. DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN PLEASE DON'T PUT US THROUGH THE TORTURE. NEWSFLASH MR. BELL, NO ONE LIKES OR CARES ABOUT THIS TRIANGLE. IT PROBABLY COULD'VE WORKED IF IT WAS WRITTEN LIKE BRIDGE/TRIDGE OR IF IT WASN'T SHOVED DOWN OUR THROATS EVERY F***ING DAY.

Once again BRAVO to Susan Flannery and Katherine Kelly Lang for the best 25 years of love, hate and the best slaps on daytime television.

All hail the QUEEN.

No Queen, No BOLD

Well...it's happening. Susan Flannery aka Queen Stephanie Forrester is leaving. The core of the "fab 4" is out. Will bold be able to survive? NO.

Just watching today's episode was heartbreaking. Supposedly, all the people who loved the queen were in attendance. I know Katie (Heather Tom) was absent because she's on maternity leave..but how about the absence of Bridget, Amber, Nick, Jackie, Ally, Dominic, Zende, Logan and of course RIDGE? I mean damn. We all know that RM has issues with TPTB, they could've at least done a one sided conversation phone call.

IMHO, I think that this show will tank without the Queen. As much as I love the love/hate relationship between Brooke and Taylor, Nothing can carry the show like the Queen. She is the heart and soul of b&b. It's just not going to be the same.

How about an alternative ending?

Queen and Eric retire. Pam meets up with Steven in Dallas and reunites. Donna and Justin get back together. Steffy and Hope open their eyes and realize that Liam ain't shit. They both dump him and start rebuilding their step-sister relationship. Have these beautiful girls be role models for other girls showing that the world doesn't revolve around a man. Rick and Thomas learn and know their place at Forrester. (WHICH IS NOT C.E.O) Give Sally Spectra the proper memorial she deserves. Have Nick and Bridget get back together.  (I still have no idea why they broke up, Nick has cheated on Bridget so many times before..) Give us some closure with Jackie and Owen. Oh yeah...Where is Massimo? Have Amber take over Jackie M, name it Ambrosia and start a fashion house. Just a few thoughts.

Do you have any ideas for an ending for BOLD?

Leave a comment.

Until then..Stay BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL.
