B&B’s Katherine Kelly Lang Reminds Brooke and Taylor Fans On Being ‘Respectful’ and ‘Keeping it Classy’
The Bold and the Beautiful’s enduring star, Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke) took to social media this week telling fans a la Taylor Swift. “You Need to Calm Down”. This all came about as the the on-screen relationship between Brooke and Taylor (Krista Allen) took a turn.
The frenemies – turned besties – who are now once again feuding – is part of the writing and the storyline of the show, and no reflection on the actresses who play the parts.
We all know on Soap Twitter that fan factions can go to war, or comments and opinions are shared when reacting to story points. However, at times people cross the line.
Lang went on the offense and shared, “Even though Brooke & Taylor are at odds, we should all be respectful of actors playing the parts & also the fans. I appreciate all the love but would like to see more positivity instead of people ‘fighting.’ Everybody is entitled to their opinions, but let’s keep it classy folks.” Lang ended her tweet with two emojis – heart and a kiss.

The shift in story comes as Taylor tried to set up Deacon (Sean Kanan) with Brooke, while she is clearly trying to get back with Ridge (Thorsten Kaye).
Not only did Katherine defend Krista Allen, but she also applied that to another fan who informed her that people were not being nice to Matthew Atkinson (Thomas). Lang responded: “Yes, the same goes for everybody.”
What do you think about Katherine Kelly Lang’s statement? That even tho we may differ on who we are are rooting for as characters, we should not attack the actors who play them, or fans, who may prefer one character over the other? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

These women are disgusting, what’s to be respectful of? Taylor has turned in to a loony-toon and Brook is either chasing after Bridge or constantly reminding her daughter, almost challenging her to be the slut she was.
What someone said about KA was totally out of line this is unacceptable you want to be mad be upset with Brad writing women backwards centuries with no respect for themselves that’s my issue but that is certainly not Kelly or Krista’s fault
What do I think about Katherine’s comment? Classy and right on. Just wish the storyline could have kept Brooke and Taylor as good friends. Even with Ridge back in town.
This is so dumb for anyone to twitter about it is ludicrous
I really, really thought that this storyline would take this turn…. Brooke and Taylor would become lovers!!! Wouldn’t that have been a major twist and a ground-breaking platform for this show? Their mutual dislike of how Ridge could never make up his mind, their obvious similarities (what attracts Ridge to both of them) could have drawn them closer, and they end up being attracted to one another! Is this scenario possible after the turn this just took? Maybe they could see that the aggression they’ve just felt is really just pent-up lust and desire for one another??? Just a thought…. Let’s mix it up! This is a soap opera! Bet that would spike ratings!!!!
Why doesn’t KKL fight for her character to be a little more “classy” instead of telling the fans of the show how to act.

Writers Strike Comes to an End; Leadership Votes To Conclude Work Stoppage
It’s over! After 148 days, the 2023 Writers strike will go down as the second longest in WGA union history, only a labor stoppage in 1988 was longer.
The strike will officially come to end on Wednesday at 12:01am PT. This was due to a vote from the guild’s leadership that now has authorized its over 11,500 members to return to work.
That means: pitching and selling scripts, taking meetings, responding to notes, writers’ rooms opening up again, and more, can now restart.

The WGA committee shared that the vote, “Allows writers to return to work during the ratification process, but does not affect the membership’s right to make a final determination on contract approval.” However, WGA East and West voted unanimously to lift the “restraining order” on Tuesday.
As the negotiators shared, the end of the strike doesn’t mean that the tentative agreement that the union reached with producers on Sunday night is a surefire thing: Union members still need to vote to ratify the contract. Union leadership announced on Tuesday that will take place between October 2nd and October 9th.

However, SAG-AFTRA still remains on strike. So, even with the writers returning to work, many productions can’t move forward without their principal actors and performers.
So soap fans, how do you feel about this news for your favorite shows? Glad that the head writers and their writing teams will be back at work as soon as this week from Days of our Lives, General Hospital, and The Bold and the Beautiful? Y&R’s Josh Griffith, who previously had gone Fi-Core during the 2008 strike, remained at the top rated show during the last several months.

It’s Official! Former AEW Champ Jade Cargill Signs with WWE
All the reports and the rumors have been confirmed. Former AEW TBS Women’s champion, Jade Cargill has signed a new multi-year contract, but with rival WWE.
Cargill, who was AEW’s longest-reigning TBS champion and wrestled her last match on AEW TV programming just two weeks ago, started with WWE on Tuesday at its Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.
In her first interview since joining WWE, Cargill spoke to ESPN and shared that a decision has already been made if she will go straight to the WWE main roster, or if she will first perform for its developmental brand, NXT. Jade teased that fans are just going to have to stay tuned to see just how she will make her arrival.
In AEW, Cargill was a force to be reckoned with having held the AEW TBS Championship for Cargill for 508 days. She lost the title back in May of this year, and had been off AEW TV for quite some time, until a few weeks ago when she lost her final match to Kris Statlander.
Cargill, 31, has been wrestling professionally for two years. She has close ties to Cody Rhodes, who Jade admitted in her chat with ESPN, was one of the top two reasons she came to WWE.
AEW CEO and Owner, Tony Khan was asked about Cargill’s exit during a media call on Tuesday. Khan shared that he wished Jade all the best in her future and said he has nothing but positive things to say about her. Khan added Cargill would always be welcome in AEW.
Check out Jade’s first interview since becoming a top signing for WWE under their new umbrella TKO Group, below.
Now let us know, who do you think Jade will have her first feud with in the WWE? Do you think she has found the perfect fit for her talent in WWE? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
