Bold & The Beautiful (@BandB_CBS)

I am not a big writers of day time soap opera, especially since most of them are off the air. But one in particular soap opera that I do still watch that is still on the air, is the Bold and The Beautiful. This is one of the stories that I did not watch from the beginning and got into after watching some episodes with my mother and she explaining to me who was who. I come to learn that one of the very main character was a woman called Brooke Logan. For you all that do not know Brooke, she is this very salsa, sexy woman who can turn any man's head when she walk into a room and Brooke did this for many years on the show, not to mention she slept with all the men in this little Santa Barbara town. Maybe I should not say that she slept with all the men, but really she did, this included her own daughters husband, yes you heard me right, how low can you go right. This woman I learned over the years was a piece of work and she did not care who she walked over to get her man, although she kept claiming her man was Ridge. For you all that do not know Ridge, he is a Forrester, this is one of the main families that lives and design clothing in this town. Yes this stories is based on families who design, with beautiful models all around them. Now Ridge who has been back and forth with Brooke, has also had a relationship with another woman on the show known as Taylor and not only that they have had three children together but yet Ridge always goes back to Brooke. Now on this last split of Ridge and Brooke I thought it would be permanent because the actor who played Ridge was tired of playing the role, but yet they decided to bring another actor in his place and all of sudden Ridge is back whom and guess what he wants. You guessed it, Ridge wants Brooke back and to start they life all over again, but Brooke who has had children by Ridge father as well as other men has had an ongoing relationship with another man on the show that Ridge is not at all fun of, how do you think he will take this. I can almost write the story, Ridge know matter how angry he gets with Brooke or sleep with another woman and gets engage to this woman, he will still marry Brooke. I for one wanted to say to the writers of daytime soap operas do they not know this is why they are a dying breed. They continue to write in circles, the same situations over and over again, it may be a different person or different place, but it is always the same situations and that is getting old. Of course I am upset with the storyline and I have decided not to watch it and maybe come back six months later because nothing new will really be happening other than Brooke will get what she wants as always, and everyone else in the town will be miserable. All the men will pant for Brooke and the other women will get that second hand love. Please daytime soap writers if any of you are reading this, try mixing up these storylines sometimes and try thinking out of the box. Kill someone will all know and love off, you could have killed Ridge or try putting Brooke with someone poor instead of all these rich over the top men. Let us see different writings and make us remember why we fell in love with daytime soap opera in the first place.
