Brad Bell Dishes Bold and Beautiful 2010 Spoilers and Casting Zack Conroy




In an interview with MSN, Bold and The Beautiful executive producer Brad Bell gives his thoughts on stories from 2009 and a bit of insight into what will be going on in 2010. Below is a snippet of the interview where Mr. Bell speaks about casting Kim Matula as Hope and former Guiding Light standout Zack Conroy as Oliver but be sure to check out the full discussion. 

What makes you decide it's time to give Hope a case of "SORAS" (Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome)?

Brad Bell: Steffy was a bit of an island. She was our twentysomething and we needed to round that out, so we brought in Kim Matula as Hope and Zack Conroy as Oliver -- two great, interesting actors who are going to bring a whole new generation to the fore.

OMG, Brad Bell actually called Jacqueline MacInnes Wood a powerhouse !   And he sees Stuffy as a young Stephanie Forrester  I guess that means we won't be getting rid of her anytime soon...

I had a teenage crush on Zach when watching GL so I guess now I will have to watch B&B a little more since I do not watch it, that will be hard.

Bradley Bell : congrats to hiring Zach Conroy !  I really enjoyed seeing him on GL.  Great move on Bradley Bell's part.

Dumb Bell:   calling Jacqueline MacInnes "a powerhouse".  I must admit she is attractive and has a nice voice.  I really do like hearing her talk and she's pretty but she's not a Powerhouse.

Myworld, I want that beautiful and talented girl in your avatar to join Zack on B&B   Maybe she could be the new Steffy?

Californiaguy, I agree that JMW is pretty and has a nice voice. At first I thought she was a perfect fit for the part. She bears a striking resemblance to Hunter Tylo and her acting wasn't so bad at first. I thought she might even have the potential to possibly be the next Jennifer Finnigan, but then something when horribly wrong, her performances changed from subtle to stiff and her beautiful hair turned into a hot mess.

Due to her promising start, I still think there could be hope for her if they'd address the problem and hire her an acting coach. But since Brad Bell thinks she's such a powerhouse, we are probably condemned to hair model hell with her.

damn Brad Bell got some respect from me for hiring Zack Conroy. Still wish he was Kyle Abbott on Y&R but I'll take him either way.

Lost some respect for calling JMW a powerhouse & the next Stephanie Forrester.

Y&R's lost is B&B's gain once again....I'm happy for B&B but we need a Kyle Abbott and he would have fit for that role
