The Bold and the Beautiful - MESSAGE BOARDS

I am not sure if I am liking the Eric hired undocumented workers story. Here in LA, all one has to do is walk to any street corner and with enough cash one could buy a new identity in 10 minutes. That's nothing new. Companies here who hire people with that fake info don't seem to suffer any consequences once they get raided by INS. I would have loved to see some other juicy story from Eric's past.

ITA. I've heard of this s/l and I thought the same thing. The writers could not have come up with any thing more boring. They should have thought of a more shocking s/l than that. I find that this show has a lot more boring times on it than other soaps than I've watched. Just when somethings about to get good they stop it and go to something else that does not interest me.

If they wanted to really wanted to bring Eric to his knees you would think they could have come up with something more starteling than this. Of course immigration is such a hot buttton issue right now maybe they think this will pull in even more veiwers.

Your Right!!!But maybe they can get the workers to leave and it will only be hard to explain why all left at once oh well the documents will be the real problem.Oh the other thing what about Jarret why would he do this to Eric I always thought he liked Eric.Maybe he go and help Eric. Any clues to this plot

i think its a hot button issue but its not something that is going to create the kind of drama that drives a soap. it might be better if one the characters turned out to be an illegal worker or is inlove with one because then we would care but right now its just boring.

I actually like this storyline. Finally something different that doesnt have rick and steffy in the middle of it or brooke and ridge. That went on too long. The other stars of the show havent had much airtime lately and im glad to see that it didnt become the rick and steffy show after all.

the writers certainly could've come up with something other than this crappy new storyline

Everyone here has pretty much summed it all up. This was very anticlimactic compared to what Bill Spencer COULD have done to Eric, had someone injected a little imagination.

However, it does give me just one more reason to totally detest and disrespect Eric. It was bad enough that he hooked up with that little "chippy" (as Stephanie put it), Donna Logan and has idly sat and watched the downfall of his lifeblood and business just because yet another Logan gal had it goin' on between the knees.

However, now Eric is hiring and is sympathetic to illegal immigrants. I know this is a controversial issue and there are arguments to both sides, but I am completely against illegals working in our country. They are collecting welfare which they have no right to; interfering with our childrens' education because their children come into classrooms and can't speak English, which handicaps our teachers, as well. And when Eric's illegal employee thanked Eric for making it possible for his kid to have health care and his daughter to get into college, that really infuriated me. Why can't they go through the methods necessary to become legal citizens? They have the brains; the energy. All it takes is a little discipline and studying, and they could live here as legally as the lovely Limey lady who checks out my groceries at Wal-Mart.

I have nothing against any foreigner who wants to be an American citizen...but do it like the folks who came to Ellis Island! If they would work for it, it would be worth so much more.

But I CAN'T STAND much more of Eric Forrester! I am at a point where I am actually wanting to see Bill Spencer take him down. Eric's addiction to hot sex with tarty blondes has GOT to come with some consequences; whether it is going to jail for hiring illegal immigrants, or losing his company AND his hot, sexy, tarty blonde wife to Bill Spencer.
