  1. I think Anna Yolei meant Taylor didn't find out Steffy willingly and happily rode the stallion until after she shot him. Before that she believed the greasy waffle version of events. Me too for sure. My, the security at Forrester is fantastic! Sheila just wanders in with no issues. Though honestly I'm sick to death of her going all over town like a glowering, threatening black cloud. Simply over whatever this storyline is supposed to be. Except for Taylor and Brooke. I am enjoying the hell out of their friendship. This is the most I have liked Brooke since back when she was with Thorne!
  2. Completely agree. Sheila is never going to be happy with just not going to prison. Or with having Bill at her beck and call. Nope. She is incapable of accepting what she has as being enough. If the blackmail doesn't give her that time with Finn and Hayes she will inevitably do something insane and dangerous. That's the entire history of this character. Well since Sheila is holding the whole Taylor shot Bill thing over everyone's head, I kinda doubt a restraining order would carry much weight. I suppose not! Still they have better chemistry together than either of them have with TK and honestly, I much prefer BFF mode to them fighting ... esp over that greasy waffle Ridge.
  3. There is nothing the writers of this show love more than to repeat dialogue endlessly. How long did we hear Brooke blathering on about why she drank on New Year's Eve? How many times did we hear about Eric's little soldier problem? I remember reading something about people getting New York tap water to make pizza dough. I'd google it but I really don't care. Where did Deacon suddenly find money to buy a restaurant? Wasn't he living in the cleaning closet for a time (not that there's anything wrong with that)? Why would an investor give money to an ex convict conman who has never run a restaurant? Why do I bother asking? I also don't understand this whole thing with Steffy flipping our about Taylor going to the police. First of all there's no guarantee anyone would believe her. Second, there's no proof even if she confessed and it's been 5 years! Third, Steffy has seen these cops in action ... she believes anything would happen to Taylor over this?!? As if. Just let Taylor go to the cops to get this blackmail off the table. It doesn't solve everything of course because Bill paid that stupid judge but at least Taylor's crime would be addressed.
  4. I don't hate the character but I used to like her a lot more than I do currently. I loved her at the start of the show - I suppose she was on in more small doses. However, that changed as the show began to rely less on actual profiling and detective work and turned to Garcia's magical computer. And the cutesy thing wore off too (for me). All that ridiculous nicknames and so on with Morgan also annoyed me as it went on and on - though thankfully he isn't around anymore. At this point, the less I see Garcia the happier I am. I'm watching this as long as Prentiss is a part of it. She's my favorite and always has been. That made me laugh!
  5. I feel like this is what's going on because of some of the dialogue over the last couple of days but especially today. However, it's still dumb. I mean wouldn't everyone in Bill's life be safer if Sheila were in prison? If this is his plan - sell her on his undying love and she'll leave everyone alone? It won't work because Sheila is never happy with what she has! She will demand more and more and at some point will do something violent or crazy or both. That's Sheila. There's no escaping it. And sorry even if the writers don't realize it, I think the audience knows Bill is smart enough to know who and what Sheila is and would know this plot is bound to fail. Watching Bill and Sheila kiss is not appealing at all. Not even a tiny bit. Yikes. And what is up with the creepy/horror music accompanying their 'love' scene?
  6. OMG! So agree. She was fantastic! Sadly we had to go over to the Liam, Hope, Steffy, Finn meeting of the so-called minds and those actors looked horrid in comparison to HT. Bill standing there mute was ridiculous. Sheila and her usual snarling was tiresome. Katie touched the necklace today, so if it's poisoned will she start defending Sheila too?!? I really don't know what is going on at this moment but I can say I'm pretty much over Zombie!Bill and Sheila's reign of terror.
  7. I tend to like Katie a lot more than most around here but this? This so true! She's Mrs Kravitz about nearly every other thing but now she's going to ... not?!? That's darn close to the most unrealistic thing about this entire mess!
  8. I want to believe it's a long con. I do but it just doesn't make much sense, like you said. Turn Sheila in to the cops and done. The long con just prolongs this nonsense. So then I have to hope for necklace poison which is equal dumb but at least has some history with Sheila and would explain Zombie!Bill. Whatever is going on, it's boring and stupid (I realize I've typed that more than a few times and so have the rest of you but it needs to be repeated if anyone from the show is reading). This mess is starting to make me a bit nostalgic for the Bill obsessed with a building story line!
  9. Great point! Honestly, I've probably forgotten a lot of the crap Sheila pulled on Y&R, much less this show. I am way over her at this point. Plus, I didn't even think it was possible for a pairing to have less chemistry than TK and KKL - who have negative chemistry but show is setting out to prove me wrong. DD and KB have negative negative chemistry. I think Thomas and that mannequin managed more chemistry. And watching them kiss? Ugggh. Just awful.
  10. I will admit to not being the most attentive viewer of this show (the FF button tends to be my friend) but didn't Sheila shoot Finn and Steffy? Run Li off the road and try to kill her? Held Finn prisoner? I mean those things all seem pretty bad and worthy of keeping someone from a child! Right? I'm not involved in the legal profession at all and still know this isn't how any of this works. Do these writers not realize that most of us have at least some knowledge of the legal system in this country? Or in the very least legal knowledge from watching Law and Order?!? The thing is the writers could have avoided this nonsense if they wanted Sheila to stick around. Just don't have the character attempt to murder people. So simple! Instead here we are again watching (or in my case semi-watching) an absolutely stupid storyline that doesn't make a lick of sense.
  11. I agree! I don't care how suddenly it happened or how unlikely it is, I much prefer watching them be pals than fight over that useless waffle. Onto the rest of the show, can someone ... anyone explain to me what is happening with this Bill/Sheila nonsense? None of this makes a bit of sense. Not one single bit. Okay so the police don't have witness testimony about the attempted murders of Steffy and Finn ... fine. But those aren't Sheila's only crimes! She broke out of prison! That doesn't require witness testimony. LOL. Lawd. A yes poor, sweet, innocent Sheila was made to escape prison. Forced to fake her death! Where exactly did she get a toe to leave as evidence of her death? Of course, she was forced to go along with that too! Why doesn't Steffy go to Taylor and explain the situation? Oh wait, right ... Bill threatened that only Steffy, Finn. Bill and Sheila can know about this. Ummm what can Bill do if Steffy goes to Taylor and says mom I need your help and Taylor agrees to go to the cops about shooting Bill? Bill will ... tell the cops?!? I. Do. Not. Understand what is happening. I really don't.
  12. Taylor confessed to the police under oath? Then she'd be in prison. Bill decided not to tell the police who did it and now he'd tell them and they'd believe him? Maybe, but if Taylor doesn't admit it, then what? Where is there physical proof of Taylor committing the crime? Bill giving Steffy a house because of his feelings isn't proof of anything except his feelings. Regardless, blackmailing Steffy with the Taylor shooting Bill thing is just dumb. Criminal charges against Sheila have got nothing to do with Steffy or Finn. The police would be arresting her and bringing her up on charges no matter what those two morons say. But I suppose here in B&B land, those two suddenly saying nope it wasn't Sheila who tried to kill us will clear up those charges instantly.
  13. Exactly! It's just dumb. Now should Taylor have gotten away with it? No of course not. But it's been forever and there is no proof at all. Plus with the recast of Taylor it is kinda hard to see her being as unhinged as OGTaylor. On Guiding Light the character of Olivia's last romance was with a woman. And Olivia was a character who sure had plenty of male partners! Olivia and Natalia were played by straight actresses but the response was pretty positive. But then again that was many years ago now and I'd guess the representation would be viewed differently. Not that I believe for an instant that Brooke and Taylor will be hooking up! I am waaaay over Bill and his ridiculous tears. Oh and his ridiculous necklace of evil.
  14. I will grant you that each has done some pretty sketchy stuff but Thomas still deserves judgement. Just because others have done stuff doesn't make what he did okay. For me the worst was the stuff he put his son through! All so he could manipulate Hope (again) and parent trap Ridge and Taylor? Lawd. Yeah I would have preferred that too. I just really don't get what the writers are doing with Thomas. First they write a whole obsessed with Hope thing. Then they write a redemption of sorts blaming all his issues on a medical thing (was it brain damage or something I honestly don't remember). It wasn't much of a redemption to be sure but since they bothered to write that why turn around and put the character right back to the same place?!? It just makes no sense. Whatever. I probably have put more thought into any of this than the writers have.
  15. I suppose Sheila isn't technically a serial killer but that's certainly not for a lack of trying! I think I'd be scared if that maniac was after me!! Though that still wouldn't cause me wear that hat Steffy had on today ... or the rest of the outfit. I have to say I have been enjoying these versions of Brooke and Taylor quite a lot. I know one of them (most likely Brooke) will be back with Ridge before the new year but I am going to enjoy this for now. I actually liked Steffy's talk with Taylor today too. However, the entire car chase was absolutely hilarious. So much bad acting. Yikes.
  16. I just love how he's all upset at the idea she might be interested in Carter but cannot seem to fathom why she isn't enamored by the idea he begged her to take him back and when rejected ran to Brooke with nearly the same script. I'll type it again: I really do not get what the writers are doing with Bill. And good lawd can we stop with the necklace of doom stuff?!? The scenes were well acted of course, but then the necklace stuff started and I cracked up. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't recall Brooke or Taylor saying they were never going to be with Ridge again. I thought they both basically agreed to not let him waffle between them and I assume if eventually if one decides to be with him the other would not be 'the other woman' so to speak. Steffy made it sound like they were both done with Ridge forever. Now I would prefer they both dump him from now to eternity but I think we all know that ain't gonna happen. The most I am hoping for is an end to the seemingly endless triangle and waffling.
  17. I absolutely agree! It certainly was in a sense a prison of their own making, but to finally decide to leave the prison has to be a happy moment. I can understand the giddy. I loved the confrontation with Ridge because both Brooke and Taylor got their say and both said things that were absolutely correct. Well I mean it has to be a relief to have some new lines that don't include crying over the giant waffle. KA hasn't been stuck in that rut for as long as KKL but both have to be over it already. Frankly I think KKL has better chemistry with KA than she does with TK! I really don't understand what the writers are doing with Bill. I'm happy to see him onscreen but like this? No thanks. 'Is that a diffuser?' Hilarious.
  18. And why do the writers insist on wasting this character and actor? SK is a good actor and he has strong chemistry with multiple actresses on this show! But he is basically written into yet another corner. The folks in charge bring him back - build this whole thing with Hope and even Brooke and then? Blow it all up for Sheila! I mean seriously ... for Sheila?!? I was really hoping Deacon might get a real shot with Brooke or maybe Taylor. Didn't he have some flirty scenes with Katie too? But nope. This dreck is what the audience gets.
  19. I might be at a table for one but I did not hate the Carter/Katie stuff. It was actually nice to see her smile. Of course if he is determined to have a family, she might not be the best choice given her age and health issues. But they could adopt. I hate, hate, hate what the writers have done with Deacon. Hate. Why do they insist on wasting this actor and character? And when's the last time he even spent time with Hope? Whatever. I wish they let him have a real shot with Brooke or maybe explore the chemistry he had with Taylor, Instead we are left with a big fat nothing and he'll probably end up in prison again. Speaking of things I hate, this sudden turn for Bill is stupid. I'm not saying I don't enjoy Bill getting up to shenanigans, I'm just saying this turn has been awfully fast. Plus that ridiculous necklace is back. Oh Bill ... what a romantic you are! Why, what woman wouldn't love to hear you say you were meant to end up with either Katie or Brooke?
  20. Oh please the writers of this show only seem to understand triangles and repeating the same boring couples over and over again. While I'm not thrilled with the idea of Taylor being involved with another of Brooke's exes, I would have gone with it in this case. NuTaylor and Deacon had/have chemistry. Sigh. Why try for something new when you can just rinse and repeat the Ridge/Taylor/Brooke nonsense? Yep Douglas is awesome!
  21. This spoiler about Taylor just irritates me. Not because I'm a big Taylor fan but rather I really wanted her to tell Ridge to take this marriage and shove it up his arse. Just once I'd like to see a female call Ridge on his nonsense. You know the writers probably aren't going to let Brooke do that either. Both of these characters (Taylor and Brooke) should tell Ridge to move along. But nope, let's have Taylor not tell Ridge about their insane son so he has an excuse to run back to Brooke. How romantic for Brooke to have her destiny return to her! Honestly, I'm mostly hate watching at this point.
  22. I know! Isn't it just terrible Paget Brewster decided to stop coloring her hair? How dare she! Sigh. Garcia. Honestly that's the one character I'd prefer not return. Not sure about this serial killer network but I will give this a chance and continue watching. I miss Spencer but as long as I have Emily, I am good.
  23. That would be awesome. But I'd like to also add that Steffy tells Taylor about the call. Taylor finally realizes the truth about the Tridge reunion. Taylor goes to the wedding and then dumps that info on Ridge at the alter and tells him she isn't going to be his second choice anymore. Then Ridge runs to Brooke and she slams the door in his face. Ridge leaves town and maybe returns as a recast and this new actor actually has charisma and looks like a fashion designer. Oh and Bill grows the f up and stops ping ponging between Katie and Brooke and finds Li.
  24. Generally speaking, I've never liked the character Brooke. I've never understood Brooke's alleged appeal etc. Certainly KKL and RM had great chemistry but I was never all about the pairing. I liked Ridge and Taylor during the first run and marriage of that pairing but after that? No thanks. Now having typed all that I will say I am ovah Brooke crying about Ridge. Good lawd. Even a character I don't care much about deserves better than this waffling hobo! What are the writers doing to this character? We had to endure months of her repeating 'I don't know why I drank on new year's eve' to the current 'why did Ridge leave me? Destiny!' Seriously? Frankly both Taylor and Brooke deserve better than Ridge. No matter how I feel about either character, they deserve better than Ridge. Every single day I wonder who on the writing staff thinks any of this is romantic or appealing. These are allegedly professional soap writers and as far as I can tell, not one of them understands soaps. The insistence that Brooke and Ridge end up together is ridiculous at this point. KKL and TK have managed zero chemistry (and perhaps negative chemistry) throughout his time as Ridge. And yet? The audience is expected to be cheering for their reunion. The never-ending revolving door of Ridge dumping Brooke for some inane reason and then her crying and chasing him around and then them eventually reuniting is tiresome. Beyond tiresome. Again I don't care that much about Brooke but I say free her from this nonsense. TK has managed a bit of chemistry with KA. I'm not a huge fan of this version of Taylor but I think it's better than watching the last few years of HT's insane Taylor. While I think this pairing has more chemistry, the way it's been written so far is just gross and unappealing. Why not let both Brooke and Taylor explore something with someone completely new and let Ridge go abuse some other female (preferably off screen)? Of course, it will never happen. B&B likes nothing better than recycling through the same old pairings, the same old storylines and the same old lines ... over and over and over again. I also wanted to add that I hate, HATE how Bill has been written lately. He goes to Katie to reunite and professes his love. She says yeah I don't think so and 5 seconds later he's professing his undying love to Brooke? Right back to gross and unappealing. Bill and Li has so much potential. Sigh. Why can't I ever have nice things on this show?
  25. The thing that gets me with all this Ridge/Brooke/Taylor stuff is - there are professional writers and show runners who apparently believe what they are putting on screen is a love story or love in the afternoon. I don't care if one like Brooke and hates Taylor or likes Taylor and hates Brooke - neither women deserve Ridge. Neither. Yes both characters have gone into this situation with eyes wide open but come on. I'm exhausted by the repeated conversations. I'm exhausted by new Taylor's giggling. I'm exhausted with Brooke's refrain about her destiny (blah blah). And aside from that? Seriously Bill? The writers have him ask Katie for another chance, she logically rejects the idea and he immediately runs to pee all over Brooke? Absolutely nothing appealing or romantic about any of that. Deacon is basically living with Sheila. He hasn't turned her in which is going to bite him in the arse soon and he runs to propose to Brooke? What?!? It makes zero sense and again, there isn't anything romantic or appealing about it. The show is capable of good stuff. But it only manages that about 1% of the time and these days that 1% rarely involves Brooke, Ridge or Taylor.
