High Upon This Love

A soap opera for people who love soaps and people who hate soaps!

I started watching Bold in 1998 on Channel 5 in the UK. Channel 5 showed Bold in the mornings followed by Sunset Beach (not only the best soap ever, but one of the best TV shows ever!. I became a huge fan of Sunset Beach for the way it poked fun at itself and would tune in to Bold to wait for Sunset Beach to begin. Bold seemed bogged down in an endless triange between Brooke, Ridge, and Taylor. My husband thinks Taylor is foxy but Ridge is a lunkhead and I can't understand what Brooke sees in him.

When Sunset Beach came to a much undeserved end, Channel 5 brought the Bold episodes up two years from 1997 to then current 1999. I was hooked! Amber Forrester is one of the sharpest characters ever and it has been a pleasure watching her change from world's worst liar to a caring mother to her cousin Becky's baby. Brooke is STILL hung up on Ridge but with so many entertaining characters like Amber, Bridget, and the divine Deacon I can put up with her whining. Bold is a fun half hour packed with glamorous women, gorgeous guys like Deacon, outrageous costumes (check out what fashion company employees wear to the office in this show ;-)) and melodramatic storylines that never veer into the totally vapid and unbelievable like other US soaps are prone to do. Many ex-Sunset Beach actors have graced the cast, such as Amber (Adrienne Frantz), Deacon (Sean Kanan), Kirsten (Tracey Melchoir), Lesley Anne Downe, and best of all the fabulous Sarah Buxton as Morgan De Witt, maneater and snake charmer supreme. Part of the fun is the Dynasty style acting: Sally Spectra must been seen to be believed. There is absolutely nothing better than Bold, especially when there's a wedding that's about to be interupted - or another fight between Stephanie and Sally -- or another plot by Stephanie to protect her children -- or another child who's going to find out Mama and Papa aren't who everyone thought....



Bold has become the most broadcast and the most popular television programme in the world, and rightfully so!
