In a new interview with TV Guide Magazine's Michael Logan, THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL executive producer and head writer Bradley Bells shares his excitement over finally being able to add Thorsten Kaye to his show's cast (as Ridge Forrester) but understands it will be a bid adjustment for some fans.Thorsten makes a fantastic Ridge — very different from [predecessor] Ronn Moss. He'll really electrify the show. Bill has been cock-of-the-walk for way too long. He needs a little competition! And that's exactly what he's going to get!
I don't think it will be like the switch in Jacks on THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS, when we went from Terry Lester to Peter Bergman. That change seemed to be embraced immediately because the two men were very similar in their acting styles. It may take some time with this new Ridge for viewers to adjust but I'm confident the audience is going to respect Thorsten and grow to love him in the role.
This is exciting news! Thorsten was a terrific asset to OLTL and AMC as well as the PP AMC reboot which, to our dismay, despite great story and acting just didn't survive. All of us Thorsten fans are sure to watch B&B faithfully. Great idea for Don and Thorsten to struggle to be king cock of the walk! LOL
