The Bold and the Beautiful - MESSAGE BOARDS

I am not a Brooke fan but I understand she is never nominated for the best actress Emmy? Is that true? I will say that the few times she stands up for her child (even though it is for the wrong thing)is her best work to me.

Brooke has a little unknown soap opera disease called Cainightous and there is no known treatment at this time. Doctors believe it is caused by being to beautiful and talented at the same time. The Emmy nominations and Awards tend to go to other well qualified actors who don't seem to have those two attributes in combination. The original carrier of this disease is Erica Cain of All My Children who suffered with it for many years and then was finally nominated, only to lose the Emmy time after time. Anyone know - did she ever win?

She did finally win. At any rate- I know it would make KKL's day. I agree that it is nothing personal against her as a person.

ok- calm down- ya sound like your about to open that can!
too funny! The defense rest its case!

Let's think. Does KKL's performance ever transport you and make you feel what Brooke is feeling? Does she make you forget that you're watching a fictitious story for a moment - ever? That is what I think acting awards are for. Sure, some actors are given meatier storylines to work with and when they deliver - bam! the nominations roll in. But even a dull storyline can be brought to life in the hands of a gifted actor. I think it's all about range, too. To me, KKL is always somewhere in the middle. She can be tender, playful, sexy, - but those are functions of her appearance - not necessarily her ability to "show" us through her acting.
IF, this new tough girl Brooke continues throughout 2007, then maybe next year she'll get a nomination. She's stepping out of her comfort zone a little to pull it off. We've all commented how nice it is to see her take a real stand with Ridge. Don't waffle (in the performance - the writers will do what they do regardless) and maybe next year!

I could not have put it better. Having spunk is definitely making me respect her more.
