Michael Fairman's Interview with The Brad Bell

Michael:

Fans have been quite critical that the Steffy/Liam/Hope triangle is way overplayed. Is it overplayed to you?

BRAD:

The fans are saying that this triangle is overplayed right now, and they are absolutely right. I feel that too when I watch the show right now. We are just about to take a break from that, as they have been front and center for a long time. And they have proven themselves and defined themselves as Brooke/Ridge/Taylor were overplayed in the 80’s and the 90’s. We are going to take a break and see more families in the fall. I was ready to take a break from them, but then I heard Ronn’s decision to leave and there were so many things up in the air. So there were a lot of behind-the-scenes shake-ups. Part of the reason of this extended version of Steffy/Liam/Hope was that I was not sure who I had on the canvas. I knew I could count on Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy), Scott Clifton (Liam) and Kim Matula (Hope). They were delivering. So now we are gearing up for a new chapter, but all three of them were so fantastic. We are up in the ratings from last year due to them. They have all grown so much as actors. I could not be more pleased. They have all been a hit for us.
