Yes, I agree with you on this one Vee, he definitely did overact -though I did miss a few episodes.
It sometimes happens that Ridge's ability is lost -in fact I can remember several times over the 20 years that this has happened and amazingly, it always seems to come back -they really need a new "line"!!
Hahaha, I didn't realise this has happened before. Wow, they really do need new material. It will be interesting to see what happens next, especially after Caroline's dream about Ridge! Haha.
