What’s wrong with dating?

It would be so much cheaper for BNB to bring in decent day actors for dating than to create all this unbelievable romance and breakup antics. The triangles just don’t work for this viewer and honestly I think dating is more fun, watching people go out with different personality types would be a hoot, especially if there’s a discussion about it later. It’s also a good way to try out different actors. That’s all they had to do is send Thomas on more dates and that would have normalized him far better than throwing all these characters under the bus for a relationship that even TPTB has supposedly said is not root worthy. JMHO!

That can work on sitcoms but not so much on soaps. Even prime time shows. On soaps everything is interconnected. You may have one random day player but beyond that everyone that is introduced plays a role in story. That is just the model. Bold could have more reoccurring characters like Li or Donna that they call in as needed.
A soap has to have a core cast, so regardless they continue to have a full cast of characters they have to pay so everybody body needs to have multiple purposes.
