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.

Do any of these superficial people realize that Bill stays SILENT most of the time they are berating/begging him? That's not $Bill. Can anyone take a different tack, maybe try to get Bill alone...out of the house where Sheila pops out from every doorway mid-conversation? Can anyone have a calm approach? Or even sit down with him while they're talking? Everyone shouting and yelling at Sheila to SHUT UP hasn't worked. Could anyone...maybe bring Will home to tell him...hey Dad, if this is what you want to do, that's fine, but I cannot and will not be a part of your life. Can anyone at the very least remark to him that this relationship with Sheila has diminished him and completely dimmed his boisterous personality? Make him see for himself how he has changed lately? Or will Bill finally lock his damn front door?

Since the moment STEFFY was the one who dropped the Cps non-call at Tidge wedding I feel like some storylines have gone off the rails. Is it possible we are being set up for a giant "Siiiike!!"?? Brooke and Taylor both dropping their chew toy Ridge? Finn cracking tge case with a 'My first Microscope'?? Bill's sad groveling? I don't know, this all feels very Alternative reality. So was Bill the source of this pile of money Sheila claimed to have? Did she FINALLY leave Deacons because she realize she had BiklBot fully under her control? And is Hayes in her car or not?

Did Steff-n-Finn throw their perfectly good and working cell phones into the ocean prior to Seggzzy times? And I fully expect Hayes and a tied up or drugged out Li are in the backseat of the Getaway SUV. Guess Sheila has stepped up her injectables game and now has a mind controlled BillBot at her disposal? So half dressed Steff -n-Finn would rather stand around and yell at a psychopath instead of...knocking over one of the lit candles onto her and making a run for it? Plus that little length of rope was AWFUL close at hand. What were those two planning on getting up to??? So Carter's romantic dinner date was thwarted by rain so instead of taking a cab/uber/their own car to his apt, they decided to move the festivities to...the designers' office at work??? Is there going to be some story driven reason they need to be at FC? At least we don't have to hear about Eric's limp pickle, or the Pinecone of Destiny or whatever.

I was thinking during Brooke and Taylor's love and appreciation party that somehow they had gotten into a batch of the Devil's lettuce. But all this girl power probably means there's going to be some murder or near murder real soon (Sheila). No one has told Ridge or Taylor about Sheila possibly being back on the loose, have they? There's almost no way Bill doesn't put Katie in a secret cage room, right? Because he is acting so delusional/angry. What was with his statement to Liam that he was still wearing the sword necklace for "protection"? Is he casting spells now? I hope Ridge getting kicked to the curb before he even got to voice whatever proclamation he was going to spew means he hops back on the private jet (different pilot I hope) and goes back to Contemplation Island and takes "His Boy" with his to work through their various issues with licensed professionals.

Can't help but believe Sheila wanted to get caught. Big production of leaving Deacon's apartment to go ...next door to a public bathroom? Not directly into an Uber to the airport? Or train station or whatever. The open toed shoes was just dumb. Yeah, Li should've been in that meeting, or at least been mentioned why she wasn't. And someone needs to go ahead and hit $Bill with tranq dart. What undeserved act of unjustified violence is he going to visit on Carter or Justin or Deacon? And how exactly does he think that will win over one or both of his sister wives?

I had to have a cigarette after Hope Finally woke up and chose VIOLENCE. I wish it had been a straight 22 minutes of only Hope lighting up Thomas while he stammered and internally plotted. And can we finally acknowledge that whatever demon drives Sheila, has a hold on Thomas too? They both find a scapegoat that they feel is the only thing keeping them from happiness. They both feel "picked on" and bullied. They both leave a trail of collateral damage, but they both have a pathological need to let the world know how clever they are. Thomas could've deleted that app at any time, but he WANTED there to be proof out there that HE was the lone savior of his parents' relationship. It's why Sheila hasn't taken her pile of money and disappeared to some non extradition country.She WANTS everyone to know she outsmarted them.Sheila is about to go Get.That. Baby!! Thomas will witness, but say nothing because he wants Steff to suffer.And then he can come through as the White Knight later on in a bid for redemption.

The fall out sprinkling all over Tay and her Tots is sweet ambrosia to my bruised psyche. If I only had faith that Brooke would stick to her guns a bit longer than Taylor did. Ridge and Tom need to head over to that mental health palace in Monaco that Steffy floated through. And Dr Collarbones can go help starving third world children with their anxiety and depression, or whatever she was doing. But $Bill drowning his "Nice Guy" sorrows at the bar of an upscale restaurant is pathetic, and concerning. He was looking legit FURIOUS that he had 'become a better man' and he still didn't get either lady he wanted. No, Bill. NO. I do not receive that. Stop that right now. All I'm looking forward to is Douglas going back to Hope and Liam full time, and watching Thomas have to say a tearful goodbye.

While I am thoroughly sick of this storyline, I am grateful dragging this out means we don't have to have another Tgiving dinner with the Forresters. Each blowing smoke and trying to find something nice about the other sociopaths at the table.. I HATE those scenes. Didn't they make HOPE sit among these vipers one year and have to pretend these vipers weren't actively trying to destroy her life? I could pour Douglas' stink eye over my mashed potatoes like savory gravy.

Steffy could give a crap abt Finn. She's shrug her shoulders and go see if Liam is still mad enough at Hope to eff around and have another WTD pregnancy. I could watch Douglas give his father the guilt state down all day... but we all need this stupid storyline to come to a close...so let's go Douglas!!! Thomas isn't gonna let that kid have a foot of space or a second alone with any other adult, so he is going to have to blurt it out at the wedding. Or, play the recording. At this point, I'm even hoping Sheila will show up at this wedding.

She should've let someone know the Hopequinn is back and hiding in Thomas'office!!! She should've gotten cold chills and backed out of the room.without breaking eye contact with the rabid dog. Same thing with Thomas' going in for a kiss... get up and GO!! And as Thomas is trying to get her to "promise not to tell" she should just icily say "I expect Douglas to be back at home before this time tomorrow." Is...is Ridge somehow HAPPY about Hope seeming to accept Thomas' obvious affection and advances? That's all kinds of effed up. Like is he happy that his son is back in a delusional obsessive state? Everyone who is concerned about Hope and are flapping their gums at EACH OTHER need to go to where Hope is and extricate her from what she apparently feels is an uncomfortable situation. Liam...instead of having and all night bitch sesh with your brother...ask Bro to head over to Eric's on some pretext and either stay an uncomfortably long time, or give some excuse to get Hope out of there! I get that people on Soaps making bad decisions and not acting in their own best interest is the grounds for years of story. But all of us who watched the Misery Porn for a year, and Hope suffering and being manipulated by the GUY WHO JUST TRIED TO MAUL.HER...this nonsense is infuriating.And useless scraggly Liam whinging about keeping Hope safe without actually DOING anything makes me want to physically kick him in the throat. Brooke, at this point...doesn't matter what Ridge's reason is for leaving you. He has done this before and HE WILL do it again. Just cut your losses. Cut ALLof our losses.

My problem with Douglas acting like his Dad and auntie ...trying to get his "parents" back together.(is this a Marrone trait?)..is that Douglas absolutely KNOWS the BIG THING that his Dad did to Hope, and the lengths his father went to to keep him from telling anyone the truth. It's not as if Douglas was trying to resurrect a lost relationship...as long as Douglas has been alive Hope has been with Liam. And Douglas KNOWS Hope isn't his bio mom, so what is this "our family" and "I wish you loved each other" bullshit? If I was Liam, I'd remind that poor manipulated kid, AND Hope while they are both standing there under Thomas' dimpled smile in their forced group hug. "Hey remember when you had to go against your Dad's demands and tell us that Beth was alive and actually Phoebe? Because your Dad didn't want to tell Hope, so that she would stay sad forever and spend more time with him? Remember that...it was only about a year ago". There is no story going on right now that isn't blood churning rage inducing.

I can't wait to see this HFTF fashion show. I want the Hopequinn to be wheeled out on fire pointing as Thomas with the voice app recording playing over the speakers "It wasn't Brooke...it was MEEEEEEE....(Thomas forrester) mwaha ha ha ha ha!!!!" And then Ridge runs out crying and Dr Giggles spins in a circle with her hands flapping until she runs face first into a wall. And yeah, drop her a house or a giant speaker on the Wicked Bitch.

This Hope/Thomas/Douglas bullshit is vomitrocious. Sounds like time for a break. Between Brooke just laying down and letting Ridge scrape his muddy boots on her, Taylor buying houses for her handful of crumbs and Deacon banging an actual sociopath with no visible remorse... having Hope "admiring" Thomas in any way is more than any of us shoukd have to stomach. Hey, Liam, if you're worried about your wife...how about you go hover over her instead of commiserating with her mom. Show, this is beyond the pale and NOT OKAY. They already shoved the actual baby snatcher into Hope's orbit by letting RIDGE get her out of jail and giving her a job at Forrester. (Does she still work there?) Now that Dr Giggles and the Bum are together Steffy/Sauron has turned their Eye to Thope?

Steffy and Thomas calling a staff meeting to update everyone on who Ridge is f÷cking was the height of ridiculous. Is this all the "staff" that can be mustered on a workday? Surprised Charlie and Pam weren't there. Instead of going to confront Deacon, Bill should've been on his jet to HIS HOUSE in Aspen to kick out the two f^÷cknuggets having sex on his furniture. He invites Steffy to go there in anticipation of selling it to her. And ends up with his shooter and the Dressmaker greasing up is 2500 threadcount sheets!! Disrespectful. Could Hope take her new snarky backbone on tour? So many of these folks need to be read for filth. Side note..Deacon saying "Daddy likes" to SHEILA of all people have me vomit chills. Just no to allll of that

How big is Deacon's closet? Sheila hasn't repeated an outfit. I know, I know...I'm focused on the wrong thing. But it's not as if the story has moved along. Now she's dickmatized? And they're stealing product from the place he works? Oh no, Deacon..you in danger, girl. Steffy is just...insufferable. Her miraculously alive husband could've been shot, strangled, drowned in all the time she spends away from home or calls to check in with him. Sheila, could you stop.playing house with the Karate Kid and go snatch up a grandson? Just so these people would have something else to talk about. Speaking of Sheila, seems Thomas suffers from the same pathological need to gloat or get credit for what are SUPPOSED to be "secret" nefarious deeds. You do know what "secret" means, don't you, Thomas? And I think his latest mustache twirling confirms, his fixation is actually Brooke. And Hope is just an obsessive byproduct. What's with all of Thomas' button down shirts having the shoulder strap/buckle things on them? Lastly...serious WTF?? with Othello randomly popping out from behind a tree and spying on..who?
