The Bold and the Beautiful fans are not immune to have many more questions than answers. We always hope to find that our answers are available when the end of a story line is playing out, but we often find that we just don’t get it. Some of us are much better at ignoring the gaping holes left in these stories, but it is sometimes impossible to ignore things that are so blatantly obvious to us when they are left right out in the open. Plot holes are definitely not a new thing when it comes to this show, but some of them are just as big as ever, and we don’t get it in any way. There are a few things that don’t seem to make much sense to us, and we feel the need to address some of them here and now. Are you ready for this?
Oops, I Slept With Your Boyfriend
We all remember the time that Hope was a teenager and she was not ready to be intimate with a man. She had a boyfriend, but she was not in the market to be with him in that manner. She spent most of her teenage years looking for a way to not be like her mother. She loved her mother, but she was not looking to turn into the kind of woman who spent her life with men who are not important to her. She felt that her mother spent too much time bouncing between the sheets from man to man and never really finding a way to be with one man. And she wasn’t doing that. But then she found Oliver, or whatever his name was. He was definitely into her enough to want to be intimate with her, but she kept telling him no. That’s when they went to the masquerade party and he thought her mother was her and her mother thought he was her husband, and they had sex.
How does this happen? Even in the same clothes, no one looks that much alike. Why would he think that after all the time she spent telling him that she wanted it to be special and not just something like that, that she would go there at a party? And really — how did Brooke mistake this young man for a man she’d been with numerous times in her life, and how did he mistake an older woman for a teenage girl? It did not work at all.
The Baby Switch
We are so confused by this one. Where did Reese put the baby, and where did he find a dead baby in the cabin in the middle of a storm? The baby was premature, and she would need a lot of medical care, yet she was born in a cabin in the middle of a storm, and he was able to get out to somewhere safe and leave a baby alone without any help or anything while he found a dead baby, brought it back, and then did the exchange? We don’t see it, and we cannot figure it out. Without medical equipment or supervision, that baby should not have lived. And we are just beside ourselves that this all worked out that way. It makes no sense, it’s not even that clever, and we are just sitting over here like what is going on right now.
Brooke and Ridge’s Meeting
We all know that Ridge and Brooke knew one another and had even been together a few times prior to Rick’s birth, and that was at least three years time in their lives. And then there is that time when he was turning 16 that the two adults sat back and reminisced about the fact that they’d known one another for a staggering ten years. That doesn’t even make sense when you take into consideration the rapid aging situation that they have in their show with Rick. The soaps don’t do a good job of taking notes about things and about their lives, and there is nothing that really irritates us more than math that doesn’t seem to have any logic to it. It’s weird for us.
