The line about Wyatt being a floor-looker was kind of funny. I'm so sick of this Sky porn. They might as well play the sexy saxy music while Bill is fondling it ...sorry, her.

I couldn't see the vapor because I FFed through those scenes. Liam is dead to me again now that he is eating Bill's shit. I was cheering on Eric today, taking up for Quinn. John McCook is a fine -looking fox. Probably an unpopular opinion on this board, but I miss Ridge!

St. Steffi of the Fractured Family has come to the rescue! Liam, you are a chump and a fool. I'm hoping this daddy-son lovefest is an act on both their parts. Was Quinn wearing a camisole or did she change into lingerie for her afternoon nap?

AARRGH!! I hated the ending of today's show!! Vampira's swollen face with the fake tears.....this is not how I expected this storyline to end. There must be more to it than this!

I've watched a lot of soaps in my sixty years, but never have I seen one that moves as slowly as this one does. Jeez, get on with the damn stories! I'm as sick of Bill standing in that living room talking to Vampira as Don Diamont must be. Scott Clifton must get his daily workout just standing up, sitting down, and walking around Big Bill's desk all the time. Liam talks to his wife about his dad - his dad talks to Liam's wife about Liam - Liam's wife talks to both of them about each other. BORING! Plus, because I'm feeling extra curmudgeonly - I'm over the sexy sax music, too. Stop. Enough. I'm going whacks from all the sax!

I think Brooke talking about Katie is a plot point so that the next scene can be ABOUT Katie. Heather Tom looks prettay, prettay, prettay good in that lingerie.

I'm so tired of the same dialogue over and over again - Steffi ad nauseum to Liam about Bill. Why doesn't Liam ask his wife how she happens to know so much about how his father is feeling? Brooke and Bill - Brooke and Ridge - they need some new people on this show. A guy for Brooke, and a new woman for Bill and Ridge to fight over. I'm tired of the same old stuff all over again - and I've only been watching the show three years. Bill was giving me Harvey Weinstein vibes when he was telling Brooke she wasn't leaving his house. Damn, girl - get MAD! Throw some stuff around - smash some glasses - and storm out. Where' s your moxie? Also, PLEASE cut those limp lemon locks! It's making you look older than your age.

I've never had a massage, but even if I had, I doubt I would be moaning orgasmically all through it. That Mateo is a cutie, though. Somehow I feel like he's going to betray Sheila, and the sooner, the better. Why is Charlie constantly in Sheila's bedroom?

Slattern...a word not used enough these days. So apt and descriptive.

Man, those cheekbones are AMAZING! I only saw RM on The Soup when they were mocking B&B. Steffy was really pretty back in the day. Why do these gorgeous women fool with their looks?

I'm ready to blame a lot of TK's misuse on the bad writing on B&B. I've only been watching since TK started, but I love Don Diamont and John McCook - am a fan of Heather Tom's, and to some extent the actress who plays Brooke - there is some amazing acting talent on the show (let's hear it for Rena Sofer, when she is on!). I've watched soaps since 1975, (Ryan's Hope, General Hospital, One Life to Live, All My Children and now B&B). The latter is the most poorly written of all of them. There are no big surprises - no take on the issues of the day - just the same old tired relationships and office politics. There are not even an same-sex relationships. Maya being transgender was a great storyline - but now what? Her life is perfect since she transitioned? I imagine Bell is afraid to piss off his advertisers so he writes safe storylines, but it makes for a fairly dull show. No surprises at all.

TK as Ridge is a total miscast. That said, I do feel like sometimes he is castigated on this board for his personal appearance because he doesn't look like Ron Moss. He CAN have chemistry with certain other characters (Caroline, Quinn) - so why not bring on someone new for him? A woman in her '40's who isn't Brooke and who can make him forget this DESTINY!!! thing he's got for Brooke. As someone else said, I think part of the appeal for TK in snaring Brooke is to stick it to Bill. When he was on AMC, TK was a suave, impeccably dressed casino owner. Granted, that was a while ago, but for many of us, he's still got "it" and he is not being used to his best potential as Ridge.

Yikes - all this dumping on TK as Ridge again! Why he commutes from Connecticut to LA for this show is beyond me. The man has so much charisma, but it just ain't with Brooke, so why is Show trying to go there? A better storyline would be Ridge acknowledging his age and realizing that he's not the playboy of LA that he used to be, have a midlife crisis, then find someone to settle down with. I wish the show would bring on someone new for him, because TK can so bring the fun and romance when he wants to. This character has never seemed like a good fit for him. I can understand not liking the actions of the character - I, too, wish he'd stay as far away from Brooke as possible and let her lead her own single life - but I really don't get all the comments about his appearance. It seems unnecessarily harsh. I know the character of Steffy gets a lot of crap about her hair, but it does look like a squirrel took up residence on top of her head. Ridge just seems like a normal guy, and the comments about him looking dirty are puzzling. I guess Ron Moss must have been an immaculately groomed metrosexual, and TK is just an average guy.

I did hear some sax music playing in the background during one Bill-Steffy scene. Soon they will be lovahs!!!!! I love TK's smile. What I do NOT love is Ridge moving in on Brooke. Let the blonde breathe!

I missed a few days of the show and caught up today - happy to see that Scott Clifton is rising up to this storyline with DD. I'm really enjoying their scenes. Isn't it only a matter of time before he falls hopelessly in love with Sally and ditches the witch? Also enjoying DD and TK - two of the best actors on the show verbally sparring. Ridge may have won this battle, but there will always be another one where Brooke and Bill are concerned.
