B&B Bloopers: Bumper Edition

A bumper edition of bloopers from The Bold and the Beautiful. Way more entertaining than Rick and Steffy.   

Last Week's B&B: The Stephmonster Strikes Back


As much as it pains me to type it – last week I was reminded why I used to want to slap Taylor upside the head. She and Ridge put Brooke on the spot about Rick, Taylor spouting, “your son is sick, Brooke. Wake up! He is psychologically damaged.” While this may be true, how can she be so sanctimonious? Taylor’s own son, Thomas, is undergoing psychiatric help for his demented arson and car bombing attacks. I mean, really, take a look in the mirror, girlfriend. Taylor’s own son is nuttier than a fruitcake, and if it hadn’t been for Rick’s invention last year she’d still be drowning her sorrows in LA’s finest door-to-door delivery vodka.

During Taylor’s lunch date with “world-renowned” quack James Warwick, ex-husband Ridge and fire-starter Thomas, it looked like someone might take some responsibility for their own actions. Alas, it wasn’t to be:

Taylor: "Sweetheart, you were defending my honor. I was the one who was all caught up in these feelings, and I -"
Thomas: "- you know, let's not blame ourselves. Let's blame Rick."

Yeah, great idea Thomas. Let’s blame Rick. In amongst the insanity that was Taylor/Ridge vs. Rick, Brooke at least came back with a zinger when Taylor accused Rick of having an Oedipus Complex:

Brooke: "When did you come up with this diagnosis? Before or after you slept with my son?" READ MORE

Happy 22nd Birthday B&B

March 23rd, 1987, was the day The Bold and the Beautiful started on its crazy journey. For the last twenty-two years it's been good, it's been bad and it's been cheesy. A saving grace for the show are scenes pitting Stephanie (Susan Flannery) and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) against each other. Check out the clip above for their flashbacks during the 5,000th episode. 

After the jump there are a few more classic B&B moments.    READ MORE

Show, Not Tell On The Bold and the Beauitful


The Forrester Four at the cabin - particularly Thomas Forrester (Drew Tyler Bell) - storyline from last week's The Bold and The Beautiful was a hot topic on today's Performer of the Week episode. Mike and I thought it was awful while Jamey pointed out that The Bold and the Beautiful continues to break the rule of show, not tell. We all agreed that the dialogue was terrible. Amazingly Hunter Tylo's acting was the best of the four, but I doubt any of us will be able to think of bear hugs the same again.

What did you think of the scenes at the cabin?

The Bold and the Beautiful's 19 Trips To The Altar


In honor of The Bold and the Beautiful's 22nd anniversary Entertainment Weekly has a new list "19 Trips To The Altar." I missed the September 2003 wedding of Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge (Ronn Moss) where they look like they just ran off the stage of Broadway's Lion King, but that is my choice just because of the attire. Oh, and what is up will all the white suites?

Which of the 19 trips to the altar was your favorite?

Don Diamont's Bill Spencer Jr. "Likely Paired" With Donna



Can I call it, or can I call it? I tried to tell all of y'all who got happy thinking the arrival of Don Diamont (ex-Brad, The Young and the Restless) to The Bold and the Beautiful's canvas might actually mean Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke), Hunter Tylo (Taylor) or Lesli Kay (Felicia) would get a decent leading man that Diamont would no doubt be pawned off on one of the soap's less-than-leading ladies. I predicted Diamont's Bill Spencer Jr. would be destined for one of the two younger Logan sisters, and guess where Diamont tells TV Guide's Michael Logan, Bill is heading first? Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis)! 

But back to B&B. Diamont says Bill will likely be paired with curvy bubblehead Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis). However, this near-incestuous soap really needs new male blood, so look for him to spread his sexual charms widely."
