Katherine Kelly Lang

Even if Daytime Confidential's Mike thinks The Bold and the Beautiful is the worst soap, you still gotta love just how far they will push things. What other show would use such blatant ploys as Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) thinking it was Ridge (Ronn Moss) coming into the room, asking him to snap her up and afterwards is shocked to discover that it was Stephanie (Susan Flannery) who snapped her up? It brings back memories of Donna (Jennifer Gareis) feeling up Stephanie in bed because she thinks it's Eric (John McCook). What is it with these Logan women and Stephanie? Take your best Caption This shot.

I’m entering 2009 with a sense of dread when it comes to The Bold and the Beautiful. I’m scratching my head, trying to remember if there has ever been such an unappealing set of couples onscreen at once. Continue Reading...

At the beginning of the week, Rick (Kyle Lowder) vowed to change and make his family proud. This doesn't bode well - if he’s going to follow the moral code of his family, he’s either going to start coming to work dressed like a hooker or start straddling Nick Marone.

Phoebe’s death continued to stir up animosity between Stephanie and Brooke, and again both Katherine Kelly Lang and Susan Flannery rocked their scenes. Taylor blamed herself and, in my opinion, Hunter Tylo was great in what must be an incredibly hard storyline for her to play out. Continue Reading...

Check out this, ahem, “classic” trailer for The Bold and the Beautiful from the early nineties. It features the following jingle/rap/hot mess:

“His eyes seduce you, you yearn for his kiss,
He’s hurt you before, you’ve just got to resist.
Imagine the desire, imagine it’s you,
If temptation embraced you, what would YOU do?”

If Ridge embraced me, I know what I’d do...

At the rehearsal dinner for his wedding to Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), things took a turn for the worse when Ridge (Ronn Moss) rushed in and broke the news of Phoebe’s death. Just an aside, but why would they even need a rehearsal – those two have been married half-a-dozen times before. What exactly needed rehearsing?

Thankfully, Ridge saying “Phoebe’s dead” was muted, and we were treated to an orchestral soundtrack as we saw the looks of shock and sadness on everyone’s faces. Or, in Marcus’s case, a look that said did I remember to put my pants on?

Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Ridge visited the mortuary to say their last goodbyes to Curly Sue. For once, I was hoping Phoebe would liven up proceedings and burst into song. As things transpired, it was grief, grief and more grief, culminating in Steffy standing on a balcony wailing. Fun stuff. I can appreciate a good soap death as much as anyone else, but this was all rather silly. Continue Reading...

While the spotlight shone on Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) as she spewed greatness on her knight in tarnished armor Ridge (Ronn Moss), I could not help but notice the girl in the background from the catering company. Her eyes shifted and she tried not to show any emotion, but I wondered what was really going on in that head of hers. Was she thinking that she should have taken her dog out before she left for work, or was it about an upcoming blind date, or was it about how to steal Ridge away from his soon-to-be-new-wife of a millionaire heir to a world reknown fashion house? Continue Reading...

Eric (John McCook) continued to string along Donna (Jennifer Gareis) and Stephanie (Susan Flannery) while he made up his mind over which one was worthy of him. What a silly old goat. Stephanie should crush him and Donna both, not put up with this nonsense. At the very least, she should drag that skank out by her hair (she’s done it before). It’s not the first time two women have been pitted against each other to “try out” as wifey on The Bold and the Beautiful. Ridge (Ronn Moss) did the same thing, but even more sleazily, when Taylor (Hunter Tylo) last came back from the dead. Continue Reading...

The Soup weighed in on The Bold and the Beautifiul's latest shenanigans. This time it was Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge's (Ronn Moss) "sexy" sushi dinner.

I was browsing through some junk mail the other day and guess what caught my eye? The Bold and the Beautiful: Fan Favourites Collection has just been released on DVD in Australia! In a 5-disc set, you'll get to view classic episodes such as B&B's original episode, Taylor (Hunter Tylo) as the Arabian princess and a drunk Sally Spectra (as played by the recently passed Darlene Conley) cutting off Stephanie's hair (Susan Flannery). Who said you couldn't market soaps on DVD?

If you're interested in getting yourself a copy, you'll need a multi-region DVD player (the DVD is Region 4) and the EzyDVD website. Happy Christmas shopping!

Was Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge’s (Ronn Moss) Malibu reconciliation a return to romance for The Bold and the Beautiful, or are they beating a dead horse? Continue Reading...
