The Bold and The Beautiful (How Do You Handle This Situation?)

We know that not many daytime soap operas are still on television so the ones that are left have to come up with innovative ideas to survive. With this being said I walked into watching The Bold and The Beautiful right as they decided to reveal that one of their characters (Mia), who we all know as they savy sexy girlfriends of Rick Foster, was actually born a man. Yes Mia is a man and did not reveal this to anyone, including her first previous boyfriend who just recently found out and seems awfully grossed out by it. Now how will Bold and the Beautiful tackle this real like possible situation is something I think will pertinent. The reason I say this is because we are in a different world today and although Mia basically lied about her situation by not reveling who she was to the men whom she slept with, the thing is does it make her a different person because of who she use to be. Now I know a lot of men do not agree with this and yes they do have a right to know, but if someone is so in love with a person, do you just forget who they are now. I listen to Rick Foster saying that honesty is everything to him, especially after he had a wife who lied to him which broke his heart and made him divorce her. Mia lie of course goes beyond anything Rick could possibly dream of, will the writers of The Bold and the Beautiful decide that this is it for Mia, does Mia get written off the show because of this horrible lie she has hidden from everyone or will it be a process of forgiveness on the show that turns the characters upside down on the show and have them choosing different sides. Will someone kill Mia and then we have that mystery of how hatred comes to play into a picture. Yes the world have hatred on different genders and their choices, so this may just be one of these episodes in which we see how hatred of someone who is different actually is taken to far. We may see Rick on trial for something he did not do until the real culprit is captured. in my personal opinion I was wishing this would be written as a episode of forgiveness, in which Rich accepts Mia for what she is and do not let his pride get in the way, although I know this is a horrible secret to keep from someone. Which every way the writers of the Bold and the Beautiful decide to take this I am glad that they decided to tackle such a serious subject. The world today has all kinds of situations that the laws have to decide what is right and what is wrong, what is acceptable and what is not. Legally Mia having the sex change she is considered a woman and is by law, so does she have to reveal that she was once a man or is this some moral decision that a person has to make for their conscious. I know that the man may not have a baby and they have the right to reveal to the partner that they can not have children, but again do they have to legally tell them why or can they just say it is a medical issue, which it is. This is one big debate that could go on forever. I am not judging I just choosing to sit back and she how the writers handle this.
