  1. I wholeheartedly disagree. I wasn't able to fully appreciate it while watching because of the haze of red hot rage I was feeling toward Brooke. Every time she re-iterated "but I lost RIDGE" I swear a small volcano erupted in my brain. It was so hard to watch, so hard to believe how unashamedly horrible Brooke was being and how she ran roughshod over Hope's feelings unchecked time and time again. Hope got cast as the villain in this story when she was a supporting character at best. Next Brooke will be "gently" encouraging Hope to move out of the cabin while still exclaiming how much she just loves having her granddaughter nearby. I wish nothing but the best for Hope as she pulls the tatters of her life together and rises from the ashes of the people who claim to "love" her to triumph over them all. But I already know this show will not give me that.
  2. You know what would be a great Mothers and daughter's episode? Have both Hope and Steffy taking their young school aged daughters out for a fun playdate. Show how each woman has fun with their daughter separately and differently. Maybe Kelly wants to surf with her Mom and Beth wants to go to the zoo or something. But we are going to get Brooke being an absolute failure of a parent to Hope, Poppy further disowning Luna and The Beige Prairie Dog refusing to find any fault anywhere in her offspring and encouraging her worst behaviors.
  3. That display in the Forester office...with Eric and Ridge standing to the side waiting for Princess Steffy to hand down her verdict on the three "traitors" (she said they committed TREASON, and I burst out laughing. Dramatic much?) reminded me of that famous episode of the old Twilight Zone where a young boy was holding a whole town of adults prisoner because he could do 'awful things, terrible things' to them with his mind. If he wanted them to sing, they sang. They could only watch what he wanted or do what he wanted....and they had to keep saying "you're absolutely right. Everything you say is always the good and best thing and you're always right"'. Anyone that spoke out against him got "sent to the cornfield". Brooke and especially Carter stood there with their heads down, basically wringing their hands and promising to be good. And any lukewarm objection to the treatment of Hope was met with "Watch what you say" and they went back to cowering. Do these people NEED jobs? I mean, Carter might, but he's a top notch lawyer and has been the COO and manager of a Global company, he could write his own ticket elsewhere and not be browbeat. Brooke is a gazmillionaire in her own right. Do Carter and Brooke REALLY think Ridge and/ or Princess Steffy won't take every chance they get to remind them of their supposed crimes? They all but crossed he room to go stand next to the Princess and swear their fealty. It was disgusting to watch. Hope absolutely needs to leave ALL of the people in that building in her rearview. I just hope she runs over a few people on her way out. I guess its a good thing they made Donna disappear for this storyline. Luna is wearing green and Black! That's her Murderin' colors!
  4. Nobody needs to LIVE with that toxicity. Hope needs to move house...now. Because Ridge will be over at Brooke's crowing about how they saved such a good man from the clutches of her EVIL daughter and calling Hope out of her name every chance he gets. I'm sure Steffy will take a break from beating Finn into compliance to walk straight into Hope's house to gloat and berate her as well. And now Daohne Le Pew will stay on to press herself against "That good man" at every opportunity. And isn't Thomas due to return home triumphantly to marry ...what's her name and get Douglas to have amnesia about who helped raise him for years. It's too much to pile on one character and too much degradation for the audience to have to watch. But the show will do it...in the stupidest and most repetitive way possible. Hope and Luna need to start their own fashion line for Gen Z criminals and wannabe badasses. They can keep their identities secret, and make their triumphant return with Sally Spectre the Third and relegate Forrester into the dust from which it came.
  5. Awww, my favorite lil double murdering cutie patootie is a free woman now (does she keep living at Bill's) I giggled like a kid when Detective Hot dog said "uncuff her" and saw Steffy's face. Oh well, looks like Steffy WILL have to take off for undisclosed European Destination, since she isn't safe! This whole insane storyline makes Demon Possession and an island where killed off characters went instead of the Great Beyond, even and Orangutan Nurse seem like well thought out plots. Will we get an unexplained puppet character soon too? Maybe as Luna's "other" personality? Was getting Luna pardoned Bill's plan all along? It must've been because when during the Fake Forrester's rantings did he have a chance to make a phone call? Dear God, Liam is going to have a VERY VOCAL meltdown over this, isn't he? I almost don't care because its too much fun watching Steffy spiral. Did Bill unlock some kind of true crime confession kink when he was acting pretty much the same way with Sheila in his home? Will he be pardoning and housing any other killers so he can hear them confess over and over and OVER? I'm gonna need Deacon to have a seat in the corner on this one. And Poppy needs to maybe lay VERY low after this, if not just leave town. Because the absolute PARADE of sanctimonious citizens who will be happy to berate her loudly will be smothering. Maybe she should take a quick vacation to the next music festival of partying, drugs and bad parenting decisions. On one point I will agree, although Finn was 18 and a technical adult...he was really still a kid and his older Auntie really crossed a line by having a physical relationship with him. And Hope, just drop that giant lump of a man. I want her to realize he's got her saying the same thing Steffy did and it makes her re-evaluate her life choices. Where the heck has Donna been?
  6. I'm guessing Luna came off her "timeout step" because she somehow knows who Remy is. I know she heard Will and Electra talk about him, but I cant figure out how she knows what he looks like. Maybe this is a "test" for Luna and she is failing miserably. And when did Remy hear about the double murderer intern? Did he and Electra even talk that much outside his lame stalking attempts? But, why did he jump straight to that? Oh Bill.....Bill, Bill, Bill.... you let some guy who was recommended by SHEILA of all people, wander around in your house...ALONE???? Didn't even take him to where the actual HVAC unit is??? And HOW does he not have a maintenance staff for this stuff? I get that he cant have them on the premises full time, but not even on call? He had to call Horizon Services or something to come check the Freon? I guess this will be one of the stories that goes lightning speed while we will be waiting until St Patrick's day for Steffy's husband to tell New Casual Barbie Steffy that the cutest lil murderer in Bel Aire is his daughter. And although show is obviously pointing to Hope being the manipulative mastermind, I don't mind that she is lobbing some truth grenades in the process. At this point Hope needs to pack up her forgotten daughter and go back to Italy or wherever she went after she dissolved into bubbles after confronting Quinn last time. Maybe she can take a turn at terrorizing Steffy when she inevitably shows up at some "mental health spa retreat". I'd love to see Steffy all on her own without her sycophant entourage getting berated on the daily. And I just....can't even realistically deal with whatever self flagellation Brooke has going on. Unless she is just trying to get Ridge to waffle back to her so she can burn his toast in the most publicly humiliating way possible.
  7. We didn't get Friday's show in this area due to EAGLES! But I think I can piece together what happened. More repetitions of Hope is the baddest Bad B!tch that ever badded. No matter what evidence there is to contradict that. I liked Hope's green dress. Poor girl...her lover and her MOTHER both love Ridge and crave his validation more than her. She is ALWAYS losing to or being humiliated by Ridge or GirlRidge Jr.
  8. Does that mean Steffy will run off to her favorite solarium in some undefined European country again? Will she take Daphne with her?
  9. I finally figured out why Daphne LaPew is giving me the icks...she reminds me of a middle schooler or young high school girl doing her best to act "grown up" and seductive to seduce a male teacher. The weird serpentine walking, the upcast eyes, leaning in too close....it smacks of a very immature child trying to act mature. Or like a grown woman, acting like a child who is trying to be a grown up. Is anyone picking up what I'm putting down? As for this Luna nonsense.... WHAT IS THE PLAN, BILL? Does he plan to keep this young woman in his house for the next 15 years? Is he working on moving her somewhere else? Is he getting off on her "true crime" stories that he keeps asking her to repeat? Maybe after getting Sheila to confess he unlocked a new kink for himself. I for one don't believe Luna grew up the way she is saying. I think her childhood is exactly what was presented when she and Poppy first came on the show. But Luna has found an "angle" and she is using the hell out of it! And she is going to confess/cry her way into an opportunity to escape justice. Truthfully, I hope it works. Lucky for her (and Bill, I guess) Will enters every room talking every time. Even when he sneaks in the back way. *How'd they get in that balcony. Isn't that the one Sheila fell/jumped off of to escape? There aren't any stairs to it...I don't think. As for this Brooke/Taylor/Scruff McDuck nonsense...I don't think either woman really wants Ridge anymore. Its all about who can "win" him.
  10. Wouldn't the safest thing to do be to send her to a "safehouse" somewhere with a bodyguard who can fall in love with her and end up assisting her in more nefarious deeds later this year? What happens if Will decides his Mom is too much of an interfering busybody and he wants to stay with Dad? Is Poppy just never going to check on her daughter ever again? Do they plan to fake Luna's death? Will that FINALLY wipe the perpetual scowl off Li's face? Anything going on over at Bath and Body Works, Forrester edition is beyond the gates dumb. I will say I like that they've given Steffy a softer more normal human look for this ridiculous story. Will she start showing up at Forrester in poodle skirts and penny loafers to show how "harmless" she is? If Carter & Co wanted to lend legitimacy, should've made Steffy just a figurehead with no real power. Have her be the "face" and show up in promotional materials and take meetings with buyers etc, but not give her any access to ANYTHING, including executive offices! And, has Forrester ever had a President before? Why not make herself Lord High Commander if she's just going to pull titles out of her ass.
  11. Maybe $Bill will send Luna to assassin school and she can reach her full potential. Why did he need a blow by blow of the murders? She already confessed, more than once, to multiple people. Her "killer hat" is so cute! We were screaming "Run into the OPEN and BUSY restaurant that is steps away, Electra!!! But I'll admit I haven't giggled so much since Ridge chased the previous Taylor up a mountain for ten minutes.
  12. As dumb as this Luna sidebar is, I'm always happy to see that cute lil psycho on my screen actually ACTING with some ability. I know she's running a con, but I'm getting sucked into her sob story. I guess Remy's reign of creep is almost over...how does he come back from this? Poor Deacon, down yet ANOTHER staff member. Katie can stiff her sorries in a sack. I'm glad no Ridge or Ridge adjacent stories, and I'm eternally grateful.
  13. Have I mentioned how incredibly stupid this "corporate takeover" plot is? Lets say Ridge and Steffy and Eric all begrudgingly step down from...whatever job they supposedly do. They will of COURSE poison the well and none of Forester's previous backers are going to do business with them or partner with Carter in this Fine Cheeses and Leather Goods empire. I still like my idea better...sell it off. Use the profit to make Hope for the Future into a separate entity. But the way this was done, Carter will never be able to realize his global brand dreams. With the way things normally go on this show, how long til Finn and/or Liam slither over to Forester to voice their anger and deep disappointment?
  14. If I was Carter, I'd sell the company off piecemeal. Ride off into the sunset (or onto a diff show) with a cool billion before the Forrester Dinosaurs could even finish gathering their belongings and be escorted to the elevators. Let $Bill pick up those scraps and give it to Poppy and Luna to run into the ground. So if Carter is manager... he can appoint Brooke as CEO, can he hire Justin as COO? Cuz that would be another delicious slap to The BiaB and her father. Now where will Taylor go to hang out all day? Will Finn have to actually do his job FROM HIS JOB location?
