I can't help but think that Hope's very emotional reaction also means she knows Thomas is now very likely to do something harmful. And it will probably involve her children because Thomas knows they are a solid bargaining chip. I haven't posted in a while because this show has become infuriating. You all have hit all the reasons why. Maybe we could get Eric and Donna travelling the world, soaking up new fashion ideas or adopting older shelter pets or something. Maybe Wyatt can summon his brother to go visit him. Can Luna have a cool bestie in San Fran that can come visit and catch Zende's eye? Just some positive fun side story that does NOT INVOLVE CHARLIE.

These two don't even HAVE their own office. They just get down wherever the mood strikes them. How can Hope feel frisky with Thomas in the place where he FINALLY confirmed that her one and only biological child was actually alive?

Prediction...it's the damn lace and embellishments Eric keeps having imported for his collection. They're packed in like...arsenic or asbestos or something. And he was constantly fondling and sniffing them. Or Eric decides to take a jaunt in the Forrester jet, it goes down in flyover territory and he is (presumed) dead. At least he will go to the great beyond with a working boner. Whatever it's going to be, we should be out of our collective misery in a month. I hope Zende burns down the whole building and slashes everyone's tires once he finds out how hard everyone worked NOT to tell him and only him. Forrester Creations might be even more poorly run than Dunder Mifflin. A fashion house that can only put out ...what? A dozen frocks at a time?

I wish they'd thrown Charlie into an unmarked box in a sloppy storage room, instead of the stapler. That stapler looked HEAVY and would be better for self defense or attack than Charlie anyway. Maybe the Fated Stapler of Doom will finally be the weapon to rid of us the Sheila Carter Menace for GOOD!

The fashion showdown was really enjoyable! Lots of actual gowns and models. Camera zooms on the jewelry and even the shoes. Sure the drama in the audience was ridiculous, and no one needed Esther Valentine to pop in like a wide eyed Genoa city yokel. Whoever is in charge of the music lately is ON their game!!

New guess.. Luna is Eric's kooky brother's kid. The guy played by Fred Willard, I think Ivy's Dad. I can't remember if they said what he did or used to do. I'm grasping at straws. Yet again, a medical condition is handled idiotically. Did he and Donna ever get married?

Eric is probably having an allergic reaction to all the honey Donna has been pouring into and onto him. Or maybe there's arsenic in all that Parisian lace he is constantly fretting over. So no one has pulled Deacon aside to ask if he is trying to perfect $Bill's original dumbass plan? Weren't they all in Bill's living room just a few weeks ago asking and saying THE SAME THINGS? How has RIDGE not tried to connect the dots? I see Liam is back on his sanctimonious tour. Whenever he shows up with a kids toy in hand, we all know it's going to be infuriating. I'm gonna miss Wyatt and DB.

Ok, is Deacon running the same scam on Sheila that $Bill did? Right down to the out of the blue marriage proposal. And he is proving he can do it better than the FBI, Dollar and Manbun? But why though??? Are they maybe trying to get to Sheila's pile o' gold, then off her? And if that hissing snake doesn't stop going on about how she has never been loved, no one has ever defended her all while Lovesick MIKE languishes away in L.A. county jail!! Deacon, if you don't want to be alone, get a realn residence and a pet FFS. Moving to Hope, after getting busted snogging at work busting into the community office "Someone else knows!". Sweetie, everyone but your clueless ex knows. On to Eric and his arthritis/tremors/ headaches, I'm guessing the mysterious Luna will NOT stay away from the Forresters and will have some kind of holistic cure.

I think we must've uttered Liams name too often. Because he appeared in a true jump scare just popping up INSIDE Steffi's house. Oh he just "used his key"? Dafuq? The house isn't EMPTY, you weasel. He knew Finn was still living there! I saw so much red at that scene, I had no energy left for Sheila and Deacon deciding to be in love. I hope Bill murders Deacon, and Sheila gets caught in the crossfire. And they both get crushed in a trash compactor. That might wake Hope from her dickmatized haze too. Forrester creations can't afford to work on two couture lines? I need a nap

I'm finally caught up. And it was not worth it. As much as I love some Johnny Karate Deacon, I hope there are real repercussions and that he SUFFERS. Deacon was willing to undo the work/sacrifice Bill and his Little Stallion did to entrap Sheila, wasted the FBI'S time and resources and cool jackets and even made Sludge have to get coffee and grow a man bun... just to give Snake Eyes another chance??? What kind of VajayJay Voodoo does this woman have??!! And once she was free...why not convince her to get her own place with the piles of dragon's gold she supposedly has, and meet her THERE for sexy times and dress up? I guess it's not the riveting suspense of "is that door locked?" But at least we could all agree it made sense as something grownups would do. I had to laugh at the juxtaposition of Thomas and Sheila both revealing their obsessive stalker truths to their partners so we could all ask...How do they not see all the red flags being thrown out here??? Thomas may look at Hope like a steak dinner with all the fixins, but they should NOT be so obviously coupled up that Douglas is aware and trying to act on it. Did I miss when Liam and Hope sat the kids down and told them what was going on? Did Liam finally shut his yap and DO something, like taking custody of Beth to keep her from being around Thomas? Why do I care? The less Liam, the better. Calling it that Luna (if she ever returns) is another of cheating Jack Finnegan's side kids.

Even if Deacon committed the act on the police station front stairs, if Ridge decides he won't be charged...he won't.

At this point I don't know if Deacon even COULD extricate himself from Sheila's web. We know that as soon as Sheila feels like she is being rebuffed or discarded, she goes into poison or pew pew mode. When she was wanted or presumed dead, she could rationalize Deacon proclaiming she had to go every other day (but doing nothing). But Sheila is free and clear to live her life openly anywhere she chooses, so after a while Deacon insisting she needs to get her wigs and costumes out of his closet apartment is gonna start rubbing her the wrong way.

I'm almost as sick of Pop Up RJ as I am sick of Brooke constantly meddling and interjecting their unwanted opinions into everyone's relationships. Can we get a murder mystery? At least Hope took off that distracting conch shell necklace.

At what point does Hope get to tell Liam and Brooke and RJ and anyone else ..."Hey, I'm getting my rocks off with Thomas, it's sexy and fun to bang a guy I know only has eyes for me" Everyone's acting like Thoope is planning a living room wedding (then annulment a month later followed by six months of vocal angst. Then another wedding after a three hour engagement) I'm pretty sure even in Thomas' warped mind he knows Hope is working some stuff out using him as the Springboard. And only if they move to Mongolia will anyone EVER leave them alone about their "relationship". Liam can take a long walk off a short pier or get dumped out of a helicopter any time now.i wonder if he'd be giving Steff the full court press if he didn't have information about Finn softening on Sheila. Would she still be the one great love of his life and be sworn to protect her and her offspring...if she was still happily living with Finn? Liam can fuck right off

It's the new "Cha cha cha" and I hate it just as much.

This made be snort laugh so hard!! Its one thing Liam can definitely NOT do. Liam can go kick rocks and sit at his table for one And that's the other one. So Liam is again pontificating about his big feelings and browbeating a woman in his life. But...what's your plan then, Super Weasel? You gonna whiskbSteffyvand the kids away to Bill's house? That Sheila KNOWS because she lived there? You gonna move into Cliff House? Steff, just agree to take the kids and move to Pop Pops and shut Liam's blathering noise box. While I was loving the Malibu Barbies fun time at the beach location shoot, I could THROTTLE Finn for turning his back and putting in ear buds so he couldn't hear outside his call (didn't he only put one side in? Is he deaf in one ear?) ANYTHING could've happened during that minutes long call!!! Where's all this beefed up security? No security guard lurking in the distance to run to the rescue? Sheila is the best security guard against herself. She is everywhere, always watching. Always steps away from her prey.

Before I head on out of viewing this nonsense for a while (not from you guys though. I can't quit you!) I will admit Thomas banging Hope like a screen door in a hurricane was definitely hot. Did they even get a drink of water before the thumping SEXXX MUZZZIK started up again? And who lit the candles? Does Thomas regularly set up a candle lit ambiance for...himself? I laughed for a full three to five minutes straight at the absurdity of Hope getting c-blocked mid stroke by her MOM in her frilly church blouse. The entire set up was ridonkulous. Steffy is now wearing Taylor's old wigs? I'm pretty sure we saw those heavy bangs on Dr Shoulderblades recently. Deacon's visit with Sheila was weird and unnecessary. All those "adults" at Forrester talking about office romances causing problems....we saaw you giving Kaite the Bombastic Side Eye, Carter! Liam is an emotional vampire. I've known preteens in the midst of a hormonal breakdown during auditions for theater camp who were less dramatic than him. What's with all the international flashbacks?

The shots of Rome are gorgeous. Hope needs to get on Booktok or watch better porn because her "windswept glamor photo shoot" Thomas fantasies look like those of a sheltered tween who just read her first Danielle Steele novel. At this point, I hope Liam's commercial flight goes down in flames, and Hope can feel guilty because she is still having Sweet Valley High fantasies about her "lead designer". Because we ALL know that Liam's surprise visit will be a shot for shot repeat of her last fashion show success. Where he sad Pikachu's on the sideline and slinks away because Thomas is holding his wife's hand. Funny that once Sheila the Hun was in jail and everyone got their gloating visits in, no one has been to her trial? Any of her court proceedings. If I was THAT traumatized by her nefarious doings, I'd want to make sure dull justice was ACTUALLY served. RJ, we might believe you didn't want to get involved in family drama if you actually stopped gossiping about family drama all over town.

Maybe he will find a partner to try to drive him off a cliff again.

I can't even post abut this show because it makes m so irrationally angry I'm afraid I will go off on some anger and frustration fueled tangent and get myself banned! I will offer one observation that doesn't make me blindly angry just yet- Brooke is probably giving Taylor the cold shoulder right now because Taylor is up in Brooke's face about anything and everything, 24-7. Taylor is running around town trying to exhume any lukewarm body that she might throw in Brooke's path to keep Logan off Ridge's radar. She is too self absorbed to realize Ridge never wants Brooke MORE than when she is happy in and secure in another relationship. Get YOURSELF laid, Dr. GiggleShoulders! You need something to do other than haunt the halls and offices of a place where you don't work to proclaim to all that your ADULT son is a good boy now. No really, he totally IS! I'd be so OVER this twitchy bit^h and her antics by now too. At this point Hope needs to go ahead and make her bad decision and jump on the Thomas Crazy train. Then Sad Pikachu Liam can scurry on over to Steffy's to be consoled by her vagina and I can take a nice long break from this show. My last break was when everyone was suddenly OK with Flo and had her working in the same place as her victim. So makes sense my next break would involve the other co-conspirator in that crime.

Jimmy Walker can take a long stroll off a short pier for all I care but... ITS THE CORN KID!!! as his Grandson. And I could watch that kid all day.. Other than that, I'm one Hope daydream away from taking a nice long break from this show. Everything and everyone is annoying and frustrating. So it looks like they brought RJ back to be direct competition for Thomas. If it snaps Hope out of whatever is going on with her...I guess it's worth it. And oh yeah..STFU Ridge. About everything, all the time.

I guess the FBI agents haven't been shown the Tesseract portal that gets these people from work to Paris in 30 minutes or less. Why aren't there agents on standby somewhere close? And if you fall off the Spencer Balcony, is it mandatory you land on your back, head turned to side, arms akimbo, legs both bent at the knee? I didn't check, but did her shoe fall off? Would've been better if she went THROUGH the glass door and then Oopsie Daisy. Sheila definitely escapes from whatever hospital custody she ends up in. And do Bill and Ridge give up Deacon's involvement? Does HE go to jail? Will Hope's distress over finding out what(who) her Dad has been doing give Thomas his opening to be tge supportive peni....er Friend?

With this years (feels like years) long ruse of RoboBill being all in on Sheila Carter, to get a coerced confession...they could've just injected her with magical truth serum weeks ago and gotten all they needed. I swear every time I see Samaurai Ridge having government coffees in THE Fbi stakeout room, I bust out laughing. Poor Agent Chen has to wear his FBI windbreaker all day or no one would know or remember who he is or why he's there. While I appreciate that there is some plan... it's an insane plan. Once they realized she was going to Romeo's(er, Deacon's ) hovel every damn day.. why not bug her phone? I could see they didn't think they could get Deacon to agree to bring down his true love. But if she is gonna blurt out murder confessions, it would more likely to happen in casual convo with "Daddy like". This nonsense with No! Thomas..Yes! Thomas is distasteful and disrespectful at BEST. Hope should at the very least be requiring she not have to be left alone with him AT ANY time.Liam should be in that office, bringing bagged lunches and Beth every other day if he is so concerned about what Thomas might do. Actually, Liam's presence would probably push Thomas to show his crazy hand sooner rather than later.

When Steffy was telling Thomas that "This is all your doing?" Did anyone else think...because HE was the one who came up with the asinine idea to let a child still in single digits decide his guardian for the rest of his childhood? He was the one who brought the papers to Hope and set up the hearing (somehow) for the NEXT day. This was definitely "his doing". Show missed an opportunity when Thomas was staring wistfully and menacingly out the window to have a blurry slow mo floating Douglas head in split screen. Braylor was cute today on their lunch "date". But WTF with young waiter? Brooke has been going there for ages and TODAY is the day he decides on the full court press? Sketchy AF.

The conversation that needed to happen wasn't between Steffy and Finn...it was really between Steffy, Finn and poor overworked, on call 24/7 even for international travel...never gets a day off Amelia. Who now will have a third kid added to her constant, never-ending care. I can't comment on the storyline itself because it's so insulting that I end up with brain ache trying to find any sense in it. I guess the silver lining is Douglas will have more opportunity to solve the $hill mystery being at Aunt Steffy's since she keeps talking about and stomping around to confront the parties involved. And he will probably convince Dr Shoulderblades FlappyHands to go confess to someone.
