I’ve been watching The Bold and the Beautiful since 1987, and I have to say, I much preferred the storylines then. These days it’s like they keep repeating the same old story, except the characters aren’t nearly as interesting. I miss the older gang like Stephanie and Sally, and I still can’t get used to the new Ridge – I’m a big fan of Ronn Moss and wish he would come back. The Brooke and Ridge storyline is so boring, I’m not a fan of that couple at all. The writers of this show need to bring on some new characters and give it a new spark. B&B has lost its magic. G. Michaels Earlwood, NSW PENN AND PAPER I love your streaming pages – thank you so much, TV…

He’s got the looks – that’s one thing you notice immediately about Chace Crawford. Buff from his physical preparation for new series The Boys, but still with his boyish charm as you remember him from Gossip Girl, Chace has the “leading man” appearance that Hollywood loves. But sometimes looks aren’t enough. After ending his role as Nate Archibald on Gossip Girl, Chace went through a bit of a dry spell with less prominent roles. All this came to an end, of course, when he was cast as superhero The Deep in The Boys. His character possesses the ability to communicate with aquatic life and breathe underwater – but also engages in sexual assault. He’s modern anti-hero, through and through. The Amazon show has been extremely well received, with rave reviews…
