B&B’s John McCook Dishes On: Eric & Quinn’s Future, Kimberlin Brown’s Return & The Machinations Of Sheila & Those Emotional Scenes With Thorsten Kaye!
22
John McCook and Thorsten Kaye probably have the best chemistry of anyone currently on the Bold and the Beautiful. While the writers struggle to write believable romance on this show, JMC and TK hit their complex, multi-layered father/son relationship out of the park in every scene. It’s always nice to read of their mutual respect for each other in their interviews, and to hear how much pride and care they take in their work.
I actually wrote Brad Bell a long time ago and asked him to hire Jaime Lyn Bauer to rival Quinn for Eric’s attention…I think it would be wonderful to see Jaime Lyn and John McCook back together but I am also glad to see Sheila back which brings a lot of twist and turns to the story line…Brad, if you are reading these post I still wish you would consider hiring Jaime Lyn Bauer…
Oh my stars! I LOVE the idea of Jaime Lyn being hired on! She and John have wonderful chemistry! My fondest memories of THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS are the early years with the Foster and Brooks families and their stories. No one could wear a veil like Vanessa Prentiss, Lance’s mum! To this day, I can still remember the week where Friday ended with Vanessa shooting her own son, thinking it was Lorie! Even the back ground music during that week is still in my memory bank!
Hello Bold and Restless, BTW, love that name, lol and if you don’t mind that is the way I am going to describe myself for now on, lol…OH the MEMORIES of the days with Lorie, Vanessa, Lance and Lucas for I also loved the early years of Y&R and all the way up to 2006 when everything changed…and you are a person after my own heart Bold and Restless for I have contacted Y&R on several occasions to ask and beg for them to return the classic background music to Y&R but they aren’t listening to me…
Excellent idea, Kevin!!!!! I think that Jaime Lyn Bauer would make a WONDERFUL AND WELCOME ADDITION to the B&B cast…PERIOD!!!!!
Take care.
THANKS jaybird369…I appreciate the support and I wish that Bradley Bell would hire JLB, she would be a wonderful asset to B&B…
Sorry! And we wonder why soaps are dying. 60-80 year old actors are playing recycled scripts from 20-30 years ago, hoping to grab the 12-30 demographic. Ain’t gonna happen!!! So sad that Mr. McCook is forced to play these absurd scenes!!
& the character does appear to be written as “dumb as a rock.”-IMO. I think the show is unwatchable.
Soaps aren’t written for 12 year olds. Some 12-year-olds might have watched soaps with their moms or grandmothers, but that’s not the target audience, obviously. And many of the prime time shows feature love stories between adults “60-80” which, by the way, if we’re discussing age here, 60 isn’t 80. Soaps have always revolved around passionate love, unrequited love, jealousy, betrayal…I see nothing different here. And, if that’s your point, that they’re “recycled scripts”…well, yes…they are. The anatomy of a soap. Familiarity, continuity and history. Rinse, repeat. I love that soaps are using their veteran actors in major stories. GH… Read more »
Yes, I want Eric and Quinn to weather Sheila and her machinations.
All the performances have been great.
“Once again, I am stuck in that Eric place, which is trying to be believable and intelligent, and sensitive to the two of them without appearing to be dumb as a rock.” OMG, I cracked up at that. It’s Eric in a nutshell. Perfect.
IMO, the character appears to be “dumb as a rock.” haha
Excellent interview. I’ve felt for a long time that the mutual respect and love which Thorsten Kaye and John McCook have for each other come through in even the smallest of scenes between Eric and Ridge. The scene in which Eric disowned Ridge was exceptional. But I have two issues which dim my enthusiasm. The first is that we saw no follow up except for Ridge occasionally mentioning that he was in Eric’s dog-house to Steffy or Brooke, and before two months had passed, Eric had forgiven Ridge. There needed to be more there, more payoff, more drama, more self-reflection… Read more »
I.rather see Sheila back.as Mrs forrester again Sheila believes in changing herself over time the haters will see that shes better quinn .
Sick of shelia again!
Please don’t separate Quinn and Eric just for once let him be in love and get rid of Sheila. Brooke also needs to stand by her man and forgive him this is stupid her going back and forth back and forth to Ridge I wish he would shave for once. DirecTV and I’m so glad you did not have Quinn go to bed with Eric.
I will tell you Brooke is the best actress who can cry On Cue of all the soap operas on TV today. It’s kind of weird though that she has other children and their never mentioned.
I’m over the back and forth relationship of everybody Sheila being back is over rated that evil person is over rated also leave Eric with Quinn you somebody has to have a real working relationship, same goes for Brooke who has been married to every man on the show except her own son…..that back and forth is tiring…..
Ingo Rademacher and Rena Sofer : LOOK @their eyes
Please get rid of Sheila. Would much rather see Eric and Quinn be happy and true to each other for a change.
Nice interview. I think it’s great that John McCook is so invested in the show, his co-workers and his character. It’s that type of passion and love for one’s work that makes being a fan even better; knowing that actor and audience take the fictional journey together. I’m a new viewer to B&B (a little over a year) so there’s a lot of history I’m unaware of. But I do find it odd that Eric remained neutral when Sheila and Quinn had a physical fight, or that he would allow her to “recuperate” in their home. That’s a stretch even… Read more »
I think that Donna and Eric should hook up for a while. Let quinn out of his life and let her continue with Carter.
