The most wonderful time of the year on The Bold and the Beautiful

On The Bold and the Beautiful, we are fast approaching the holidays, and like our favorite soap stars, we are all gearing up for what will be the most wonderful time of the year. Festive moods, the malls playing Christmas music — holiday cheer is all around.

Nothing beats Christmas time, right? Casting a weather eye over places like Forrester Creations, however, things look a bit frosty. Are those logs on the fire at Hope’s Cabin, or Steffy's seething that's casting that warm glow?

Something will be roasting on The Bold and the Beautiful

Winter is locking down all over North America, but things are warming up on The Bold and the Beautiful. The work party at Forrester Creations may be a little different this year, with a few fewer gifts — and people. The only things getting roasted might be right here in this article.

Here's our holiday season's Naughty and Nice List. Will your favorite (or not-so-favorite) characters be getting the gift of giving, lumps of coal, or worse?

The Nice List

Eric Forrester: Easy one. Eric definitely needs a gift and maybe better legal representation.

Bill Spencer: He’s not done wrong...THIS year. Bill's worst misdeed (recently) was being vulnerable, but he's paying for it.

Thomas Spencer: Thomas is on the absentee list, and that's probably why this supposedly reformed-for-the-1000th-time guy is even on this list. He's in Paris, anyway, so Père Noël will have to deal with him.

Dr Taylor Hayes: I have to put her here. I wouldn’t want to add to the stress and cause her broken heart condition any more woe.

Luna: What? The nice list? Yes, you read that right. Luna's giving out the gift of life by staying behind bars.

Will Spencer: The charmer lights up a room with that floodlight smile. Maybe next year, it’ll be the coal for him. Just give the lad time. He’s got great teachers.

The Naughty List

Carter Walton: Carter seems set on getting a global luxury branded lump of coal with an embossed FC logo on it.

Hope Logan: Got her gift early and is getting her line back, but she’s giving away all hope for the future of sitting with the Forresters at Christmas. Let's not forget the lying, going after Finn, and doing a coup instead of easily clearing up the Finn desk lingerie moment.

RJ: Belongs on the naughty list because he did nothing but give out inexperienced, unwarranted, and unsolicited advice and opinions, and at the height of the Logan vs. Forrester War, he disappeared. He could have ended this long ago by giving his sage advice to someone.

Deacon & Sheila: They were beyond any hope for anything but coal for Christmas years ago. They can hand out free pizzas.

Brooke, Katie, and Donna: For apparently suffering in silence for decades, not saying a word to anyone that they were being mistreated daily.

Liam Spencer...the third: For trying to flip-flop back to Hope again and being the worst wingman on the planet.

Written in pencil:

Ridge & Steffy Forester: Always dancing a fine line between the lists, let's see how they handle this takeover and then reassess.
