Unfortunately, some “B&B” couples have the opposite effect.
They leave viewers unsettled with storylines that range from lackluster to downright nauseating.
Let’s explore five couples on “The Bold and the Beautiful” that missed the mark.
The relationship seldom showed any sparks, and their chemistry was scarce.
Brooke’s double-dating led to confusion about Bridget’s paternity, so a DNA test was done.
The twists didn’t stop there: Eric was revealed not to be Ridge’s father either.
Bridget developed feelings for Ridge and couldn’t stop thinking about him sexually.
Ridge soon reciprocated her feelings and kissed her.
This made Ridge seem like a groomer, and fans quickly voiced clear disapproval.
We assume that the loud dislike was the reason the storyline was abruptly halted.
To begin with, they started dating in 2008 after Eric’s third attempt at reconciling with Stephanie Forrester.
And who was behind the collapse of Eric and Stephanie’s second marriage?
None other than Donna Logan’s (Jennifer Gareis) sister, Brooke.
The writers attempted to portray their relationship as strong, but it was far from it.
It seemed that Eric and Donna’s real characters were changed severely to make them work.
In addition, their relationship suffered from an overuse of usually engaging soap tropes.
Ideally, a love story is enjoyable when characters are fueled by genuine passion and overcome obstacles.
Liam never seemed to really love Hope and constantly went back to Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood).
While adversity can enrich a storyline, for Hope and Liam, each episode reminded us of their incompatibility.
However, Sally’s exit from their lives also marked the exit of any intriguing storylines.
