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.
Here here Tracy..honestly I get why after 25 years of working together they had them come full circle. though eric should have been there.it was Emmy award winning by both.. Loved having Taylor in her own Sl with Katie Hunter and Katie really we're amazing. If bell brings the trio back say goodbye to bold and beautiful.I hated what Thorne said in the DVD loved Taylor, Felicia and my many Marcus.
ReplyDeleteBetween the deaths of GH's Edward Quartermaine and now Stephanie I feel like I've been witness to the passing of yet another crucial part of daytime television. These two were among the last of the classic,oldtime soap characters still standing. The keepers of the flame. Now they are gone. This longtime soap fan will miss them and what they stood for: Soap opera when it was really well done dramatically but also when it had a sense of humor. And let us not forget Larry Hagman's JR. A quintessential soap character if ever there was one. Sad days for the soap opera format.
