Put yourself at the writers desk

[ILoveBizzie]

Let’s make ourselves head writers or Bell’s co-writers and say what you would do if you had control of the show.

I will try to keep the current cast as well as add in new characters.

Brooke: Quits Forrester and decides to start her own fashion house. She and Sally Spectra decide to open Spectra again with Sally as head designer.

They also need to hire new designers for different lines. One could be a young man who is a new man for either Steffy or Hope, depending on who Liam is with and I would let ratings/audience feedback determine that even though I am a Lope fan myself. The new man would be a very handsome, interesting man with a lot of layers.

Another designer could be a man Brooke’s age or younger and he will be either African-American or Latino, Asian or Native American, Arabic, Indian, anything to add diversity and people of color to my show.

Hope: Joins Spectra and creates a new line.

Sally: Gets back with Thomas but they have issues due to being rival designers.

Zoe: Pregnant by Thomas and hiding the identity of the baby’s father, Carter is in on the deceit. They’re a couple.

Ridge: With Shauna but then Caroline returns alive and Douglas is revealed to be Ridge’s. Shauna moves in to Bill. Later, Taylor returns and she and Caroline fight for Ridge. Nick Marone returns with Jack and is for Taylor.

Bill: Marries Shauna, then has an affair with Flo and Shauna and Flo are at odds.

A new gay character comes on and RJ returns and is gay. Maybe the gay character could be Deacon’s son.

Also we could add a new rival publishing company that could have the gay man as an employee or instead of a new designer for Brooke, the owner of that company could be Brooke’s new man. Or a man for Quinn.

Eric: Stays with Quinn and/or gets Pam.

Katie: Gets back with Wyatt. Has another high risk pregnancy.

I think this blueprint would have something for every fan base and would also add much needed diversity to the show and fresh blood and business stories.

[ILoveBizzie]

P.S. I’m not writing characters out because I am imagining if I really worked on the show, I would not want to fire people, plus my goal is to keep the show on the air and gain ratings, thus I’m trying to work in every character whether I like them or not. Because if I were running the show, I have to consider my viewers.

[Kwaime]

Steffy mets a new guy and HE chases her with romantic gestures ... dates, outing and the don’t get insta engaged nor married. They are both sexy, gorgeous, headstrong and successful. They refuse to surrender their indépendance but can’t fight the attraction

Lope marry again. Soon after Beth needs a transplant and it s revealed she’s not Liam’s but Wyatt’s. Liam runs to Steffy who doesn’t care a bit. Hope and Liam stay together miserable

After Bridge divorce, Eric ask Brooke to leave FC. Outraged, Hope follows. Bill lend them money to create a new company...BOLD for Brooke and HOpe Logan Design but without any talent, they’re the new spectra ... struggling in the average league ... envying Forrester success. After Katie died from an heart attack/broken heart, Brooke wants to marry Bill again bc she needs a rich man to keep her lifestyle. But Katie’s son hates her aunt and get close to Donna. Bill ends up with her and Brooke is crushed.

Ridge goes back to Shauna in Vegas but she has cancer. He calls Doc to the rescue and she asks for all her collègues to save her ... in vain. During this time, Ridge rediscovers Taylor’s qualities ... they are about to marry again when Brooke tip the police about Bill’s shooting out of jealousy.

When Ridge, Thomas and Steffy learn about Brooke’s role. They are livid. Thomas goes to the police and tells them Brooke and Hope tried to kill him. And they tip the journalists about Deacon being Hope’s father and Brooke’s affairs with her BIL causing Katies´ death.
Taylor is found not guilty over temporary insanity. She has a brain tumor removed and is back to normal.
Tridge marry again in the same church of their first marriage while Brooke is watching from afar.
Hope and Brooke too are found not guilty of attempt murder. but they get et reputations are ruined for business.
They try to retaliate using Steffy affair but both Liam
and Bill deny their allegations.

After this mess Bill ends his part in BOLD. Brooke and Hope return in the valley where Brooke finally marries Dave Reed but keeps lamenting about the love of her life she lost like Beth in the early days.
RJ becomes a model at FC and turns gay ... He gets involved with Carter but a biracial gay couple create problems
Rick is back with Maya and’ they come back’ to save BOLD

The new era is about Brooke and her family company against FC.

Caroline returns alive. Her mothers saved her in a clinic in Switzerland. She comes back to get her son and Thomas back.

Now his parents are reunited and the Logans are away. Thomas gets better. The therapy revealed he never dealt with his sister s death while Rick was driving. that ends his obsession with Hope.

Flo is revealed NOT to be Storm’s and knowing about it from the start so she has to disappear.

Wyatt and Sally deals with Wyatt’s paternity as Sally joins BOLD.

[Teaday13]

now that would be worth seeing: Eric asking Brooke to leave FC. he can tell her to leave even better. would be so much fun. also BOLD is a good idea too.

[ILoveBizzie]

Thank you everyone for your posts!

All really interesting ideas. A lot more thought and imagination than the current show.

Would anyone be interested in the show adding a crime family, similar to the Corinthos mob story on GH?

[NuttyAboutSoaps]

Oh, hell no. To me, the mob stories are the worst aspect of GH.

A brain damaged hit man with a heart of gold? Really?

[ILoveBizzie]

I was thinking it could add a new dimension to the show. I feel like it needs more intrigue, adventure, and it would be a good way to add new men.

[alwayshuntress]

Honestly, no. GH does that and it works for them. This is not that kind of show.

[Sharkswin]

Brooke is back being a chemist and has her own fashion house.
Hope works with her mother. And Bridget is back as a designer for Brooke’s fashion house.
Lope bought Katie’s house and are happy raising their family there.
Tally back together and they both design for FC.
Logans vs. FC fashion competition is heating up.
Steffy joins her mother in Africa..where she gets to be her adventurous self again, and Kelly loves her new life there.

[alwayshuntress]

That's where Taylor raised her family. Hope raising hers there based on how she feels about Taylor's kids would be criminal.

[Sharkswin]

alwayshuntress - No, you are thinking of Bill's house..which used to be Taylor's house. I was actually talking about Katie's house that she owns right next door to Eric's house. LOL. My thinking is if Batie married again, Katie won't need her own house anymore, so Lope can buy the house from Katie.

[alwayshuntress]

You're right. I actually forgot about the house next door to Eric's for some reason. That's a good idea.

[joan of arc]

1 Brooke, hope and Liam are back burned.
2 new man for steffy
3 Quinn sally and Katie start their own fashion house.
4 Eric and ridge - are done with Brooke

My thought exactly stop writing storylines for people who are not bringing anything to the show like Brooke, Liam and Hope and write storylines for those who are bringing things to the show like Sally, Stephany and bring back fashion has background and some competition to Forrester.

[alwayshuntress]

Ok- got flagged for spam for editing. Hopefully, this works.


Two new mid-to-late-30 something's would arrive on the scene. A brother (blue-eyed brunette) and sister (brown-eyed brunette). She's younger. They're from Morrocco. *cue the soap opera conspiracy theories* Zayd is accompanying his sister, Taya, who wants to be a designer and already has her degree.

Steffy sees Zayd in the halls and decides his look is just what HFTF (or whatever line is currently on) needs to spice up the line a little and so she tries to convince him to join Forrester as a model.

Hope is super intrigued by the new hottie at Forrester...who doesn't really like her very much. Liam and Steffy get trapped together during a storm and Hope can't seem to let the idea go that something happened (nothing did). Hope is way too interested in Zayd and it causes serious problems with her and Liam on a massive scale, putting Liam and Zayd at odds even though Zayd's actually interested in someone else.

Sally actually IS sick, but since she has a crappy doctor, it was missed. Sally doesn't get help for the spiking health issues that she's putting down to stress and ends up passing out and coding in the middle of a public scene where Flo is accusing her of faking it all.

Flo looks REALLY bad and Sally gets a hail mary save where she can come back from the brink of death with a real doctor's help. Wyatt flip-flops back to Sally, who just isn't interested - focusing instead on her career. (I love Wally, but Wyatt has some serious self-searching to do right now).

Katie and the doctor (who saves Sally) bond, while Bill tries to fight for his family.

Ridge continues to be intrigued by Shauna and unimpressed by Brooke. Brooke turns her attention to hurting Quinn and Steffy gets in the way - causing a much more serious rift between Brooke, Eric, and Ridge.

A man in his early 40s shows up and grabs Steffy's attention - and Brooke's. He's an entrepreneur who makes his money investing in up and coming start-ups. He's Clark Garrison's son that no one ever knew about because Michael Lai gave him up for adoption after deciding to pursue a medical degree.

Sally gets an interesting link to the past with this new arrival since Clark Garrison is a huge part of Spectra's past...and CJ could have an excuse to pop back up.


Anyway - just some ideas.

[ILoveBizzie]

I would love for Clarke to return and have a serious part on the show. The idea of the secret son is really good!

[Brandy1981]

Sorry Buzz, but the only thing I can think of if I put myself in these writers place is they should have resigned two years ago and sold the show to some real writers because they have been phoning it in for far too long and it seems he just do not have it anymore. Maybe it is writers block but something that happens when a writer gives out of gas.I hope these shows now be all shows from the beginning because I was real young than but loved the show back then.

[ILoveBizzie]

I have a feeling Bradley wants to retire and these people doing most of the writing aren’t interested.

[J_Sam]

Wow nice story's you all
hope the writers see this and take it and run with it... this some good stuff....
