I really don't think that Annalise told Frank the whole story no matter how much she trusts him. The more people that know the more people have the chance to slip up or have something to hold over your head. After all the show is called HTGAWM and many people are caught by confiding in someone or bragging about a crime. I don't think Frank would be that stupid to confront Laurel in public. I'm glad that Conner and Michaela saw the error in their ways after being so squirrelly. The DA is the type to convict no matter what and I'm pretty sure she would not cut them a break. For me, keeping the ring is a good thing because it could show that Tom took it off before he left. Still, there is no body and no evidence of foul play then why aren't they showing them trying to track Tom down.

I find the show riveting and very well acted. Viola is amazing. But I don't understand why are the police treating Sam's disappearance as though it was a murder and not just a missing person. At least that what I was gathering by their interrogations. I hate that there is only 3 more episodes left to the season. After a long layoff than 3 episodes and than another layoff. Is ABC trying to kill a really good show?

Question: Who died and left Brooke boss? WTF Brooke but it's understandable that she is defending her precious little baby. I'm curious on how Brooke is going to keep Ridge from going to the police or even $Bill or Liam if they choose to. I love how now it's Ridge's fault once again. Ridge and Quinn are the fall to persons to blame for everyones own shortcomings. Under Rick, FC is going down the tubes so Rick's argument doesn't hold water for me. It's just another showing of how much disregard Rick has for FC and regard for his entitled self.

Brooke's squinty eye is matched by Rick's. I guess Hope didn't get this trait because of her father. I felt sorry for Maya today. Yeah, for about a tenth of a second. Maya was smart though to play to Brooke's vanity and the love for her son. Of course Brooke calls Ridge to find out that he is ok but mostly to blame him for her son shooting at them. I really don't think she will blame Rick but she is aware that he is once again becoming unbalanced. I'm glad she put Maya on notice because I still think she is more in love with the life style than Rick. I'm proud of Caroline for signing the devorce papers and not wanting anything from Rick especially after hearing her explanation. I'm also glad that she is not leaving and talked Ridge out of it. It's going to be fun to watch them fight for CF at the expense of Rick and Maya.

Malcolm also had FBI credentials and what gave him away was the SUV he was in so I would imagine his daughter was not a real agent. I don't know why they didn't tell the truth to clear Daniel unless they are trying to prolong Margaux's revenge to an epic fail and another story line. After all there are security tapes and Emily can bring her empire down revealing her father's secrets. Ben and Emily? I think there is more than meets the eye because Emily will wind up with Jack eventually. As an aside, EVC has a beautiful smile.

Rick is the classic example, like Hope and Brooke, of wanting somebody you don't have. Thomas wanted Caroline and Rick had to get into the act. Than he wanted Maya over Caroline and once that happened he was back to Caroline. Maya shows interest in Rick and now Rick is back to Maya. I don't give anyone else a pass except for Wyatt but Rick reminds me the most of bosses I have known. I do feel sorry for Rick's miserable child hood by getting one horse instead of a stable of horses or having to drive a BMW when he wanted a Mercedes or being banished to Paris where he lived a playboy style. (Sarcasm). Is Rick expecting a quicky divorce where He just signs papers and throws Caroline a few crumbs and the marrage is over. I don't think Caroline signed a prenup, or it hasn't been mentioned, but I hope Caroline fights and just doesn't rollover with pangs of guilt. I'm not sure what the laws are in CA but it would have to be irreconcilable differences because Caroilne didn't commit adultery. In any case they don't happen overnight But, as always with B&B, dam the torpedoes and full speed ahead. Steffy is sexy, Ivy is beautiful, and Hope is pretty but a Debbie downer. I would like to see the next Hope, if there is one, to be pretty without the ability to suck the life out of relationships.

Maybe it's because I don't like Rick at all but I'm finally enjoying Liam and the backbone he has grown. It looks like Amy gave him a new life after Hope sucked his old life out of him. Liam brought it to Rick and has expressed Rick's issues that have been discussed on social media. Just remember Rick that the pen is mightier than the sword (hopefully mightier than the gun) and Liam has a major publication behind him. Bill has a photo of Maya's portrait and it can be woven into a pretty damaging story about FC. Isn't Caroline living with Liam? Why did she say see you tomorrow? Also, is the house that big where Liam and Ivy can have a romantic evening and Caroline will be hiding in her room? Just wondering.

If memory serves, couture was not really in the story line while Ridge was in Paris. FC was focused on HFTF, Steffy's line, and trying to bring back Brooke's Bedroom. Wasn't Caroline originally brought in to design for HFTF as was Quinn Artisans to bolster sales. Reinventing Brooke's Bedroom was another effort to bolster sales. FC seemed to be foundering without couture. Ridge and Caroline brought riches to FC not Rick not Maya. I would tread lightly, Rick for Ridge and Catoline leaving, not to say they would, could create bad publicity along with your adultery to bring down FC. Will Maya still be loyal to you as CEO of nothing? Bringing in new designers would be a disaster since it will take them a while to get acclimated and accepted. There is nothing to sue Ridge and Caroilne for unless they have a contract with a non-compete clause. If they are fired, I don't believe that comes into play. Speaking of HFTF, is that now a non issue without Hope? Has Amy been promoted to couture? What about Wyatt as the front man and marketing expert for HFTF? Does Ivy, Wyatt, Ridge and Caroline have final say, in couture designes, or does Rick and Maya undermine their creativity?

Reading through the thread makes me very much aware that posters are pretty much in agreement that they disagree in the Ridge/Caroline/Rick/Maya SL. Who was right or who was wrong for me is not relevant. For me, my dislike for Rick and Maya is based on my personal experiences. Rick and Maya, even though are fictional characters, I've met many times in business. Rick can't have a conversation without reminding everyone that he is CEO and Maya reminds everyone about she's the woman behind Rick. We know who you are so STFU. Rick has a Napolian complex and Maya is delusional. Rick and Maya believe "Might Makes Right". Rick wants to be the best CEO ever for FC but he is alienating his design team, who in essence, is more important than him. Rick said the designed were do today and with Maya opening up her big mouth, Ridge should have taken the designes ripped them up and threw them on Rick's desk.

Once again there is talk of the portrait and once again I'm reminded of a place where I have eaten, in Manhatten Beach, called the Chilie Bordello. The waitresses dressed in provocative outfits and Maya's portrait resembled the artwork that was on the walls. Matriarch no, Madam yes. Rick is the one who is committing adultery but technically not Maya. Caroline did not commit adultery and I'm willing to give her a passes on kissing Ridge as being caught up in a moment. I'm not saying it was right, I'm just saying it's understandable. I just hope Caroline and Ridge wait to consummate their feelings for each other for Caroline would be committing adultery also. The chemistry between Ridge and Caroline seems to be real where Maya's chemistry with Rick seems more as a means to the end of obtaining the good life. It has to do with Maya's starry-eyed looks and words.

I think part of Geraldo wanting to beat Ian was that he thinks that Ian was sandbagging on contributions during the first fund raising competition. It was brought up in the first board room but not mentioned in this one. Jamie is just too nice to be there with all the alfa females and was tired of the drama. I'd rather be snowboarding also. Shawn has the same problem so she will be gone as soon as she is project manager and the team looses. I think Terrell also really didn't mind being fired because he doesn't feel comfortable about fund raising. He'd reather devote his time for a good cause.

Even if Rick winds up married to Maya, matriarch is not a bestowed tittle. I courteous how Brooke will take this since Stephanie passed the baton to her. Maya can't say Rick without using his tittle. That also shows Maya is more caught up in power and money than her love for Rick. Rick does protest too much in his hate for Ridge clouding his judgement against Caroline.

Run Caroline Run. Rick is not worthy of your love because is is incapable of loving anyone but himself. Divorce him and take him to the cleaners because he is an out and out adulterer. WTF with replacing Steffeny's portrait with Maya's? First of all the portait is hideous and secondly it's the ultimate in petulance and disrespect. I think Brooke would approve of his take-over but not the replacement of the portrait. Rick it's only a year not forever and by ticking people off and getting way ahead of yourself.

IMO Rick last name is Forrester but he is more of a Logan. He is defiantly more like Brooke than Eric. He even has that pensive stare of his mother. If kissing another man's husband is adultery than Brooke and Hope are guilty. All three of them has taking kissing to the next level with seeming impunity.

It was Vivica that brought it to a head in the boardroom backed up by Kenya. They teamed up on Shawn just incase they lost. Vivica had no right to judge Shawn on a legitimate health problem. I hope Donald realized it. Vivica and Kenya are going to team up and try to steamroll the competition. Only Leeza has the kutsbah to stand up to them. Shawn and Jamie are toast. They have competitive spirit but not a combative personality. But when push comes to shove, the cat fight between Vivica and Kenya will be epic.

Donald and Pierce are two of the most self absorbed and arrogant people on TV. In fact, Pierce makes Omarosa lovable. Once it became it was a fund raising challenge, I knew the women didn't have a chance. As it was noted, the woman didn't have the star power to pull it off. Keshia's big mistake was calling Jamie into the boardroom after she was lauded for the blueberry and peach pie recipe. The only reason I may continue to watch is for Shawn, Jamie and Ivanka. So happy she has her mother's looks.

Both Rick and Ridge are entitled little boys who hold their breath until the get their own way but Rick is more apt to stick his nose into Ridges business. Yes, Rick is responsible for the business end of FC which includes the pricing of Ridge's and Caroline's collection but Rick was making changes to the collection and the jewelry that was to be its accents. In addition Maya will want and Rick will give her authority over Rick and Caroline undermining their creativity. In the world of The Bold and the Beautiful, Maya will become the new amazing FC fashion designer.

You would think so but the CEO is the top of the food chain. For Eric to give Rick irrevocable status without the permission of the board, could render the contract mute and be the loophole to ouster Rick. That all depends on the corporate by-laws of FC. But I'm forgetting this is not the real world which would include as a new CEO you don't tick your top employees off. What is a design house without its top designers. I would just love to see $Bill doing his macho act on Rick dissing his beloved Caroline for much more than Quinn's actions, I would fear $Bill the most.
