Good, but could be better

The bold and the beautiful has daytime's best actress in Susan Flannery (Stephanie) and were created by legendary William Bell. That alone is wonderful. The main characters over the years has been Stephanie, Eric, their children and the people involved with their children, such as Brooke, Taylor and Macy. Classic soap opera in the world of fashion. Lovetriangles and family loyalty are the keywords to this soap opera. Rivlaries that can go on and on for years since they are all part of the same family and same company. They can't break lose from each other, so they try instead to win their battles. The saga of Brooke and Ridge have been a big part of the show, but it went old and boring long ago. Ridge needs to find a new woman. Brooke and Taylor can compete for someone else. Eric and Stephanie should stand united as the show's only secure couple. Felicia is a great addition. And enough of re-run story lines and stupid plots. Other than that, the show also needs some fresh air. Otherwise a great soap opera.
