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.

Taylor is the worst actress I have ever seen. Silly, stupid little girl laugh and voice. The clothes on her are horrible. She is NOT a teenager. Horrible posture and hand movements. Ridge is awful. Get a haircut and shave that ugly beard. Stop all the whispery voices. Move on from the whole Thomas, Hope, Liam triangle. It's getting old. Sheila never should return to the show. She's also a terrible actress. I'm about to ditch this show. Thomas is childish and needs to get over Hope. This show needs to make a lot of changes. The parents babying the adult children is ridiculous. Especially Thomas and Hope.

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!!!!

Two things tickle me in relation to this never-ending saga: the illogicality of many situations, and the blatant inconsistencies, hypocrisies, contradictions and double standards displayed by most characters. These two ingredients combine to make up an insidiously alluring cocktail, which may explain why B & B, in spite of its cheesiness, has the potential for becoming addictive, as exemplified by so many testimonials, both within my own social circle and elsewhere (for example, on this website). The principal characters, who are rarely seen engaged in normal activities (such as work), are prone to proclaim their undying loyalty to one another, backed by strong moral principles, family values, marriage etc., then break their promises and behave like alley cats, just a few weeks down the track. One example amongst hundreds: when Brooke is confronted by Taylor with the question: 'How could you sleep with Nick the night you thought your husband had died?', she contrives to look dutifully repentant and says something like 'I don't know how to explain it'. Not very convincing. The endless proclamations of belief in the sanctity and permanence of marriage are contradicted with monotonous regularity by the behavior of most characters. In spite of this, all second, third etc. weddings take place in a chapel in the presence of an (ostensibly Christian) celebrant. Christianity of course, or at least the traditional view of it, is frequently set aside when characters indulge in bitching about one other, undermining the reputation of others, cheating in various ways, etc. The most common method of rumbling the frequent conspiracies is by eavesdropping behind a half-closed door, then charging into the conspiratorial environment and confronting the conspirators with dramatic remarks. Again, not very convincing. There seems to be a tendency, on the part of the scriptwriters, to demonize female characters to a greater extent than male ones. There are no male counterparts to Sheila, Stephanie or Sally Spectra, just to name a few. The glitzy ambiance and would-be glamorous surroundings are an obvious smokescreen, designed to hide the basically vacuous lives of the majority of characters, deprived as they are of any authentic ideals. The mirage works quite well. And one could continue ... in spite of all the above (and more), B & B remains an entertaining soapie which will be missed when, inevitably, the final curtain falls. PS. Incidentally, have any of the characters ever heard of contraception?

If Hope does not find out about the freaking baby in the next week, I'm DONE. It's absurd.

How much longer is this show going to make Hope be in pain over losing Beth? I am about to stop watching this show. Then this show is going to have Steffy adopt Hope's baby!! That's wrong as wrong can be!!! Your story line is Ridiculous and I hate it!!!

Are the Scriptwriters all in the 10 - 12 year old age group? Anybody over that age could write better scenarios than they do - what is written is pathetic!! If I want to watch 'crap', I will from now on - I'll watch the 'Wiggles'!! It's an older audience who watches The Bold & The Beautiful,& we're not morons!! Pick your writing up, or get new people who can. I have watched this show for many years, & it used to be interesting - now, you can switch on after 4 days and not have missed a thing!! Have production costs been cut or what? Some of the scenarios are just beyond belief - nobody could be as stupid as some of the characters are made out to be, yet these are 'people' who run or are involved in multi-million dollar corporations?

Still can not watch this show. Seeing a glimpse with Annika Noelle as Hope and how she still over pronounces her words. Poor use of pauses in sentences . Her acting has not improved. Most of the others have reasonable talent. PLEASE re cast Hope or write her out.

This little boy is a wonderful child actor. I don't know if he reads the lines or has memorised them or someone telling in his ear but his parents must be so proud.

WHO IS WRITING THOMAS'S PART WITH THE DOLL? I can understand him being obsessed with Hope, everyone who watches this show knows that. But, what I can't understand is this prolonged scene with this Hope doll. Yeah it was funny around Halloween time but it's ABOUT TO BE DECEMBER NOW CUT IT OUT! Make Thomas get rid of the doll!! My mom and I have to skip through all of Thomas's scenes because you guys are just milking it. This is our favorite soap opera but dang, fire the writers or something, this is NOT what we enjoy watching.My mom has been watching your show for over 30 years and she says she DOES NOT deserve this poor quality entertainment. Also, about Zoey's sister, FIRE HER HAIRSTYLIST. The pink color looks cheap like it was dyed with Great Value hair dye from Walmart. Fix it or put a wig on it. It's not fair that everybody on the show looks marvelous but the new black character looks like Buckwheat with pink hair.

The drawn out storyline of Brooke and Hope going on about how Taylor being a danger is boring and total boring as well as unrealistic. What makes it worse is the poor acting by Annika Noelle as Hope. With her over pronounce of words. Lack of pause in sentence. No range in voice tone. I only see glimpse and then turn it off, if it has these type of scenes. Unfortunate, as so many of the others have reasonable talent. PLEASE improve or get rid of this show

I can't believe how bad this is. I've only been tuning in about twice a week for about four months. I find the writing predictable and the characters annoying. It's almost as if someone decided to try to come up with the worst soap ever. Well, they succeeded. Wait - I think the ill - fated Passions might have been a tie, but that at least was funny. This is like soap opera 101, maybe geared to the junior high crowd. The men are all controlling and the women are like characters from the 1950s.

I'm sad to see Jacob Young here. I was a big fan of All My Children, we all know what's happening with that. AMC was everything that this is not; it had great writing, it was classy and the actors made the characters come alive.

Also I'm surprised that Bell also produces Young and the Restless, which is far superior to this drivel.

Definitely tired of the drag out of all your story lines. The same things are repeated over and over and over again. It never ends. It doesn't matter what story line is current; it's a slowwww drawn out affair.

You've lost me as a viewer for good. We all have better things to do then to watch the same thing over and over.

BB could learn a lot from the Y&R.

Boring, worn-out story lines of ultimately unlikeable characters have become the trademark of this once glitzy and entertaining soap opera.

Essentially it's an endlessly repeated love triangle now 15 years running with Brooke, Ridge, Taylor - recycled story lines and people coming back from the dead.

The current crop of writers has also found a way of making every good character go bad to the point where there's no one to cheer for - no one to admire - no one to even like.

Most despicable character is Brooke Logan - the nympho-manical social climber who sleeps with her daughter's husbands and goes through men like so much Kleenex. 4 children by 3 men. This stuff is really depraved.

This half hour mess is distributed throughout the world and what a distorted and horrible picture it paints of American families.

Save your time and avoid this addictive tripe.

I have watched on and off over a number of years. The story line is more annoying than ever before. While many of the actors have talent the casting of Hope Logan seems a big mistake. Because most of the others are at least average acting ability it makes Annkia as Hope stand out more as extremely bad. She over pronounces her words. Has no voice range, tone. Lacks the use of proper timing of pauses in her dialog and movements . She looks disabled when looking at the camera.

Liam is so selfish. He wants to tell Hope what he did with Steffy. He is saying Hope deserve the truth but the truth is he just wants to get it off from his shoulder. Steffy might lose Finn but of course Liam doesn't care about it because he can have her after he and hope break up. Why everyone tries to move on right away. Remember? Hope married to Wyatt right away after Liam didn't show up in Paris. Ridge went off to Vegas with Shauna when he saw the video of Brooke and Bill kissing. Liam has been doing that to Steffy and Hope over and over. Wyatt has done that, too, to Sally, Hope, Steffy and Flo. There are many more similar stories like this over and over. The show needs new writers.

Why oh why and I'm talking the most recent, years. I walk out to find my dad, slouched down in front of the tube watching this very slow moving twaddle. Yes they are bold and beautiful, and they are really good actors. You can't fault 'em there. My favorite was Ron Moss, who fortunately left. I can't believe my dad tells me this crap (what's happening in the show) If he knew what he sounded like. The plots move to the grinding pace of a revolving restaurant floor, and of course, bits of the show too, provoking bits of unintentional laughter, kind of like a saving grace for those who have to grin and bare it. I believe the one quiet saving grace was Ron Moss who had to bail + some other meaty characters, one larger than life, who's presence many years ago to earlier times. I had only ever seen Moss in one other movie. Another attraction we don't see now, was the Insomnia cafe, with those really big cups. It's cool how they can use such a limited number of locations, but that's how I see every episode of this show, with stalling tricks. It's going nowhere and it's not being fast about it.

I'm a chef I used to record this show every day to watch when I came home from work it was the best part of my day. When Hope and Liam finally got married I was so happy because I was tired of that story line dragging. When she became pregnant I was even happier. Then the whole baby switching situation has been dragging on so long I stop watching the show in September because I was so aggravated, and it is now June the following year and it's still going on still. I just can't watch it anymore. I just peeked in on the show recently to see if the situation had been resolved and the story line a still dragging its like time has stood still for over 10 months with this situation still dragging on and on. It's such a good show and its a shame but I'm not gonna watch it anymore I stopped watching young and the restless a long time ago and now I guess my soap opera watching days are over. So sad. It used to be when a story line like this happened it was resolved in least in 30 days now it seems to be dragging out for over a year that's ridiculous. A secret in real life has a way to come out in less than that. Did you run out of ideas? Please stop because I miss my show.

Ah, yes. I can remember when I was in high school. One thing I would do my junior and senior year when I was home from school was watch this classic soap opera. From that moment on, I was hooked on it. In addition, I also enjoyed the days when Agnes Bruckner played Bridget Forrester. At first, when Macy (Bobbie Eakes) left the show in 2003, I didn't watch it as much. Today, it's my absolute favorite. If you ask me, Macy was absolutely diabolical. You'd have to have seen the show between 1987 and 2003 if you want to know why. However, this is still a good soap opera. In conclusion, I highly recommend this classic soap opera to all you die-hard CBS fans.

While I love this soap, some of the characters are so weird or crazy that you wouldn't want to be anywhere near them in real life. Especially Stephanie Forrester and her mini-me, Taylor, who has to be the absolutely worst psychiatrist on soaps. These are the 2 biggest hypocrites on the show, one in love with her own son and trying to kill her own grandchild, and the other killing a woman, lying about it for months, and then marrying the widower, but it never stops them from hypocritically passing judgment on every single other character. Every time I see either one of these, I know there's going to be another jaw-dropping hypocrisy moment occurring!! I've enjoyed seeing the 4 cornerstone characters (Eric, Stephanie, Brooke, and Ridge) stay with the show all these years, and hope for years to come.

How has this show gone on for 30+ years ? The same plot over and over and the acting is horrible and whoever is writing this show needs to be fired.
