How did the Tots get so hyper focused ton their parents getting back together. Seems like it's ALL they ever talk about...Steffy, what do you want for breakfast? "Bacon and eggs, they go together like Mom and Dad" Thomas, can you put the dishes in the dishwasher? "It reminds me of how happy we were when Mom and Dad were together." Where's Douglas? "He is learning the Forrester legacy (at a friend's house) like the legacy of Mom and Dad being Forresters together." Parent Trap was subtle prankery in comparison. This is more Wile E Coyote running into a tunnel painted on the side of a mountain while on rocket powered roller skates. Ridge needs to say thanks for the invite and the nibbles, I gotta go. And Taylor needs to let Steffy and Thomas know she has been already throwing herself at Ridge like one of thise sticky wall crawling toys so they can STOP PUSHING. Now that Paris is the couture model for Forrester, did Grace fly back across the Pond on her broom for the Queen's funeral?

I'm starting to think maybe Steffy is not emotionally ok. She is frantic and wild eyed in her various rants about her parents NEEDING to be together. Like all that anxiety and depression she had when she thought Finn was dead hasn't dissipated, just manifested now in this manic obsession with getting her parents together. Too bad she doesn't have a World Renowned...yadda yadda in her life. Is she going to lock Brooke in a gondola?

Hope standing in that cesspool of "Forresters" watching Dr Halter top trying to climb in Ridge's pocket was thinking "Dougles ain't the only one we need to be worried about here". Does Eric have any real furniture? Just a loveseat and a couple of ottomans for everyone to cram onto? That voice duplicating app Douglas has is gonna bite someone in the ass VERY SOON (And why would Douglas have the app say in Donna's voice, hey Honeybear...that was some disturbing shit) Does Amelia ever get a fucking day off or vacation away from other people's kids? Are they holding her captive? Is she a robot nanny? AND she takes care of other random cousins and half siblings too. I think the indentured servitude they have the woman in enraged me as much as Thomas walking into Hope's home without knocking. Everytime he announces himself, he is ALREADY in the living room. How long til he catches her sleeping or partially dressed? I hope Sheilynn ziplines right in through the glass doors of the "Ancestral Forrester Mansion", throws down some ground fire and swings out with Hayes

Are we supposed to draw some parallel between Hope and Deacon? Both Father and Daughter are trying to "reason" with people who are not mentally or emotionally stable and both have boundary issues. Sheila peeking in the windows at the Cliff house..and Thomas WALKING INTO HOPE'S HOME without so much as knocking its just infuriating. I wish Hope would feed him a face full of pepper spray when he does that. Both Deacon and Hope know that these people are delusional and DANGEROUS, and both have failed to report them to the proper authorities. (,police/family court). And another mention of Deacon's heart...Sheilynn is definitely going to poison him. I won't be sorry though. His inaction is going to get Hayes kidnapped.

It's time to stop trying to negotiate with these entitled A-holes, lawyer up Hope. No one WANTS to put a kid through a custody battle, especially a kid who definitely has residual PTSD and is a people pleaser. But it's time to at least threaten to air some dirty Thomas laundry in family court. Deacon is about to be dead to me. And probably actually dead soon. Cake Fight 2022: Now with Paint! I was more concerned about that marble floor

I laughed out loud when all of the patrons at IL G GASPED out loud in horror and clutched their collective pearls when Ridge went on his tirade against Deacon.

If these "writers" are gonna go with a serious custody "battle" over Douglas, or Hope being strong armed into giving up physical custody and suffering the loss of ANOTHER child.. I am going to have to take another extended break. Because if I have to watch Steffy be insufferable about having to give up BETH to her birth parent right away even though she had "adopted/purchased" her.... I may Elvis my poor TV. And today's flat screens are not built to take that kind of abuse. How nice does Hope need to be? How understanding and accommodating does she have to be? Is she doing penance? Between Liam's non stop bullshit with Steffy. Then her own mother being cowed to her abuser, so Hope isn't allowed to connect with her own Dad. Thomas just SAYING knock knock as he WALKED INTO HER HOME (That shit enraged me. ) Now Thomas trying to pull some tricky shit. He already has 50/50 custody that he has declined taking advantage of for the last three years.But now Dr World Renowned Preteen nitwit and his Bulldozing sister are trying to get him all worked up as if Hope was a babysitter who has stepped over a line. I hope Sheila hobbles back into town and finishes off the Marrones one by one. Or at least the bear. Just leave Finn with the kids. Eta: So now that Grace got what she wanted and her precious baby is away from Terrible Carter...did they both disolve into bubbles, like Old school Hope?

Can Steff ever let anything go? Just say "Hey, it really upsets me that you did blah blah blah. But there are more important things to focus on." But I guess she wouldn't be a Morone if she didn't harp.on HOW SHE FEELS about everything. And shouldn't they be used to presumed dead family members turning up alive and thriving? Didn't Taylor do it twice? Did they know about the fake acid vat death of Thomas? And everyone thought Ridge was dead after getting dumped out of the copter? Have Ridge or Taylor etc anyone know Sheila is still out there? Is she hanging out by the dumpsters at IL Giardino? Taylor? I don't think any of us can help you. I remember as a very naive and inexperienced college freshman, my crush kissed me at a party and I analyzed it to DEATH. I was 17. Stop it, Lady

Wasn't that one of the new hosts on The Talk? Akbar Gbaja-Biamila. I can't remember if they actually mention his character name in show. But he was one of the least egregious "product placement" guests they've had in a while. My partner and I cackled and awwww'ed through the entire wedding interruption. Nice to see Quinn so vulnerable and putting it all out there. Too bad Carter looked like he was trying to decipher a foreign language, at least until the end. I really wanted Paris to smack Carter over the head with her bouquet when she kept foot stomping and demanding he "finish getting married!!!!" Grace was about to do a happy dance worthy of a Maury Povich reveal. I was kind of hoping to see Bill discretely recording this debacle on his phone or something. I do wish they'd saved the Sheila stuff for another episode. And completely scrapped the Taylor and Thomas dreck because it was ridiculous and served no purpose. Two sets of relatives kicked back in two different residences that belong to none of them just gossiping away.

Now I'm picturing Quinn pedalling furiously across the boardwalk in one of her shiny tops with a shoulder exposed and those palazzo pants she sometimes favors! And I would love to see Li drag herself into the ceremony "Swamp thing" style grunting and with Sheila hot on her heels, and the roving security bumbling right behind. Somehow Paris' rushed wedding was even more pathetic than Zoe's. Which ALSO was broken up because the groom was in love with someone else. What is Grace DOING to these girls that they keep settling for scraps?

What exactly did Zoey tell her mother happened between her and Carter? Grace seems to have a PERSONAL issue with Carter. More than just hurting Zoey. Like a old grudge. It can never be said often or loud enough...SHUT THE EFF UP, RIDGE.

I'm glad he did. This story has gone on long enough. Now does this mean Steffy takes the kids and goes on a nice long vacation? Which means Liam is going to have to actually deal with his wife. I am interested to see what happens to Thomas once everyone is made aware that he knew about the label switch, and most of this could've been avoided if he had just spoken up when he found out. Will he FINALLY go get some real help (not from his Mom) for his deceptive and obsessive tendency? Speaking of World Renowned Physchologist Dr Taylor Hayes-Forrester, will she give up practicing for a while to question how she could be so easily swayed by a few words and almost tears from a psychopath? And can we get Li to go to the prison and choke the breath out of Sheila this time? Or maybe she will finally do what no one else has been able to do and kill Sheila for real and for good. Poor Deacon.

That's kind of what I was hoping for. Where the heck are Steffy's SMALL CHILDREN while this is going on? Her confronting Sheila with some wrongdoing got her shot and widowed last time, now maybe she could be at least orphaned and more permanently damaged this time around. It completely baffles my mind that none of these fools could contact ...just about ANYONE else and let them know what complete idiocy they were about to engage in. It would be one thing if the cops popped out of the stairwell, and Sheila took a hostage, But these numbnuts had NO PLAN except...Steffy gets to let her "mad" out. Just go ahead and arrange yourselves on the floor in your death poses now.

Dear Lord these people are beyond stupid. I think I am losing brain cells and I don't like it. Or maybe it's just Taylor. Why WHY hasn't any one of these Rocket surgeons called tge police? Even freaking CHARLIE would be at least SOMEthing!!!

Sweet JAYSUS, Donna looks amazing in her lingerie. IDGAF about Eric, but if he is the reason we get #blessed with that amazing sight, then more power to him! We will get to see the slinky sexiness of Quinn soon enough when Carter is "comforting" her. I'm gonna skip.over Steffy"s breathless and somehow constipated recollection... but I REALLY wanted to see Taylor have to sit with the destruction she has wrought. Yeah TayTay...ain't no mistake..it was your new BFF. TWAS Sheila SHEILA S H E I L A!!! Ah ha ha ha ha.

This is bizarro world. Steffy comes home from the hospital presumably way too early due to her miraculous healing powers and no one has a plan in place for her care? Her "parents" couldn't even be bothered to make sure she got to bed, changed her bandages and had something on hand to eat? Made sure the kids went to bed? Nope. As soon as Liam showed up, they couldn't get away from their own daughter fast enough. Not even going to mention Thomas, who got to Hope's before Steffy's front door had even fully closed to start rubbing it in that Liam was with Steffy....again. So I guess Kelly never liked Finn cuz outta sight outta mind! She hasn't seen him around for a few days so..."come on over now, Daddy!" We really SHOULD feel bad for Hayes never knowing his father, because it seems like they can't erase him fast enough. At least Hope seems really...mildly irritated. Get MAD!! This soggy Waffle thought a mannequin was you and within 10 mins was making the Beast with Two Backs with his ex. How long til he is laying in bed with that barracuda to "comfort" her? Why are they making Brooke and Hope such dishrags? They both need a Deacon Sharp confidence boost! Plus I would love to see Hope go.into a controlled slow burn RAGE. And just go scorched Earth on Liam, Thomas, The Siamese twins Taylor and Ridge and especially poor frail, overwhelmed, powerhouse, superwoman fighter Steffy. They never let Hope get really angry and let the people who have wronged her have it. Take your kids (let's face it, Thomas has no interest in being anything other than Weekend Dad no matter how many snide remarks Taylor makes about Douglas' custody) and move out of that toxic dark cabin, away from your simpering mother who is only interested in burned Waffles for both of you, and meet someone new in a karate class in ...Wherever Forrester International is supposed to be now.

So is Sheila going to... disconnect the IV full of life giving...saline solution? Steffy can't talk to the cops if she has dry mouth. Lady...do you have a syringe full of poison? Let's move this along!! Can we get Li to sweep in with righteous fury at the Forresters basically erasing her son and grandson. She could pull the "I'm a doctor" card too, and march in to let that bag of hair (Steph or her Momma...take your pick) know what is WHAT. You know who I feel sorry for? Invisible Hayes. He is only a few months old and his little world is upside down. He hasn't seen his parents in at least a week and now who knows when his mother will even remember he exists. He is probably calling Amelia Mama. Can Li just come and take custody of this poor little guy and give him a stable life? Sooooo after all the hype, are we going to get to see the rolling train wreck that will be Zende proposing to Paris?

Lame would use it as an opportunity to "be consoled" by his ex. I need Sheila to get back to her hotel and pack up her things in an attempt to flee the country before Steffy's memory comes back (sometime mud summer I am betting) Maybe that Renfro hotel manager cab blackmail her on the way out because he probably knows Sheila tossed all her bloody clothes as well as Steffy and Finn's "stolen" personal effects. I'd love to see Li's reaction to the erasure of her beloved son. Since she is a doctor too, maybe SHE could break the news to Steff. Kelly is the cutest, but is she really going to be able to not mention her little brother? Could we get Douglas to roam the halls of the hospital during his Spring Break...he'd have this shit solved before the weekend.

Whole episode I was saying out loud "yeah, you've got nothing to live for, Sheila. Your other adult children (and possible grandchildren) either don't exist or don't matter. You should totally go splat yourself"...then they put up the suicide prevention hotline and I felt bad. Not for wishing Sheila would do us ALL a favor, but for saying those kind of things out loud. But if she takes TayTay with her...I will go one full WEEK without criticising this show If Steff lost so much blood from the gunshot wound, why isn't everyone giving blood? Can we have a PSA about that? And haven't we been here with Steffy before? When she crashed her bike while early in a pregnancy? I'm pretty sure she was coma-tised then too. Why is everyone acting like Steffy has never been in the hospital or had so much as a broken nail?

Is Jmw actually on her maternity leave and that's actually Steffequin? Liam can eff right off. Between running out of the cabin so fast he didn't even close the door, let alone ask Hope to come with him...to spewing his version of love vomit all over his unconscious ex...he was just puke worthy. And the flashback montage was outright disrespectful. (Plus, it showed Steffy's horriblest wedding attire. Ugh those strappy leather gloves and stiff black lace collar still hold up as one of the worst things ever perpetrated). Give us more Li. All day. Every episode, Li spitting venomous truth all over the greater LA area.

I am afraid to utter their names less this pit of despair open up and swallow us all whole. Triangle of Doom 2nd generation Hope/Liam/Steffy. Cast your protection spells now.

I'm going to give JMW props for portraying fear when Sheila was right in her face. But being the insufferable barracuda she is, she just HAD to try to fluff up her feathers and try talking tough to the one person who will DEFINITELY make her "find out" after effing around. Since when does that alley open up to the side of the highway? There was so much traffic noise I expected a semi to come barreling at them. Stuffy, you in danger Girl! I'm not even going to talk about Brooke. Her instinct to let Grudge go was spot on and she should've run with it.

That's just how Ridge likes his ladies though. Broken and desperate for his attention. Grovelling and willing to fist fight any other females near him...related or not. And if he can feel like he "stole" them from the arms of someone who truly cared about them, its just a bonus. Old Ridge liked to chase. This rumpled troll likes to BE chased.

Brooke has spent the last month in long beige jackets saying the same thing over and over to anyone who makes eye contact with her..I'm sure even the mail carrier knows what a terrible person Brooke believes herself to be. Now show has revived the dead so we can hear Stephanie say the same things for the next week or so. Then Sheila rehashes recent events with Thomas which she wouldn't have to do if she could've kept from gloating. But that conversation has been going on for most if two weeks..over different days in different places. Oh hey Eric. Glad to see you got to weigh in on how much of a gargling douche bag Ridge has been.

Other than Zende being a Forrester and presumable "into" Paris...what is Grace's agenda here? And once Paris did the "But I love him" thing, Grace should've switched to...pressuring them to be honest with Zende instead of playing this "we are casual" nonsense. Nothing is "casual dating" anymore once you've fallen in love with the other dude. Carter needs to stop looking like a whipped dog in his own damn house. He can't confidently stand up to PARIS, he has no shot against Mama Grace. And I need Brooke to stop this self flagellating nonsense. If you say Ridge just wants someone else I'm not gonna stand in his way, I can applaud that and wish you well. But this descent into "I'm a horrible person and my breath stinks, I should just go eat worms" is just too much to swallow. I'm with Hope on this one. Steffy can go fall in a hole. Maybe she can fall into the gap of Doc's shirt while she bento over double in the bed to spider tickle that grubby hobo. That scene was all kinds of weird.
