I'm positive it was back when Hope got with Carter and he made some eighth-assed attempt to express that he loved her or whatever and she shut that shit down. As anyone should because Thomas or no Thomas, it was long time to be tired of his shit. @nkotb this site is being buggy and won't let me quote, but by "adopted cousin," do you mean Marcus? Cut if so, that adoption, absurd as it was, took place years after they dated. Still, you're right that she has no space to judge anyone just on Rick alone.

Finn will never have enough insane relatives to ever get me to root for Steam again. But I suspect what will get Steffy truly back on her Liam BS is his ass kissing that I suspect Finn won't do here for once. Turning his back on a biological mother he never knew is one thing, but he ain't gonna leave his kid in the lurch.

The best thing Bridget ever did was move to New York and Hope should follow suit, the next best thing would be to take her talents elsewhere and let FC be miserable without her.

For many reasons in universe and especially out of it, I didn't expect Harter to be one for the ages but I'll be sure glad when Hope walks away from this. She's finally free of one spineless little puke and certainly doesn't need to stay with another one hugging it out with the only man who's disrespected her worse than even Bill did. I mean, Rick's tried multiple times to no avail, albeit in ways that made him come across as no better than Ridge himself. Hell, he was willing to sign a deal with the devil Satanie herself. It's funny in hindsight bc of he and Steffy had dated even a year later, they could've been united in their hatred of Bridge and perhaps worked together to bring them down lol.

She couldn't answer it when Rick asked the same question twenty years ago. :| He was as parent trappy as Steffy in the mid 2000s and I don't condone his methods but he wasn't wrong to be sick of Ridge's shit either.

I sincerely hope so, but there's been way too many times in recent years where a thing was exceedingly unpopular that Bell went full throttle and doubled down on anyway--see also: the original Triangle of Doom, which will probably continue to play out when all three of them are in Hell and Satan creates an eleventh circle to silo them off from everyone else. That outta the way, there's been so many points where he could've blown Sinn out the water but so far has not done so. Stranger things have happened but I don't get the sense Finn is going anywhere either.

Katie got pregnant by Hope's brother-in-law and dated her ex-husband's son. She'll live. Having rewatched most of Star Trek Voyager and gotten to the party of the show where Seven of Nine was introduced and was learning to be human again after Borg assimation.....yeah, that's entirely accurate, actually. Can Daphne of Borg leave now? Or better yet, run into Liam and use her super special awesome olefactory(?) talents on him so he'll be too occupied with her when Sinn and/or Harter implode?

I think way, way back in the earliest days of this thread 11 years ago or so, back when Hope was the one beefing with Ivy, someone mentioned that couture houses (as Forrester pretends to be) made their biggest profits on stuff like perfumes and jewelry and other stuff that be sold off the racks like Brooke's Bedroom and HFTF. That said, lack of innovation is the death of any business, much less fashion houses, you're right on that. Is she that desperate for Ridge's dick? I didn't think it was possible for Brooke to treat any of her kids worse than she did Bridget but I honest to God think this is even worse than Breacon. Bridget and Deacon would've fizzled out even if Brooke hadn't fucked him, but Steffy has bullied Hope and Ridge abandoned her (after preventing Nick from adopting her, no less!), yet she can't seemed to be assed at all about any of that. 😠 I remember when Rick actually did forcefully take over FC and shot at Ridge and Brooke straight up told him he had it coming and what did he expect going after his brother's wife. Where is *any* of that energy for Hope, whose only sin in this is not wasting breath to explain something no one would've believed her about anyway?

Steffy, like my Chihuahua, has plenty of room for anger to bark at two or more targets at once and will find some new thing to hate Hope for. Hell I'm sure, she'll probably blame Hope for Finn and Poppy fucking just for funsies. Logans will always be public enemy #1, even over Sheila bc for everything she's done, she's not the one who came between mommy and daddy. Her temporary barking at Finn's family will be just that.

I'd been giving this show the benefit of the doubt that they were just incompetent but at this point, I truly believe they just hate Hope. Why is she the fall guy in all of this?! As you said, it wasn't even her idea to begin with! And Carter's the one they considered family before all of this, not Hope, so he should be the one to do it. Yeah, I think I'm officially done with B&B for good beyond recaps.

I feel like I'm Old™ and no longer hip because this is the first time I've heard of such a thing 🫠

Meanwhile it's going on 18 months since the Rome kiss with Liam and despite that tool having been a thorn in Sinn's side from jump, and she seemingly is gonna keep that to the grave. *Sigh*

I've felt this has been the case for a good long while because no other explanation makes any sense. I'd rather they just ran with that than pretend either was some love affair for the ages. But hey, at least they're fighting their own battles rather than using their daughters as proxies, so that's progress.

It's an insult to cartoons, to be honest--long gone are the days of children's media being glorified toy commercials or obnoxious noise to keep the kiddos occupied. Hell, Star Trek fans will tell you the best series to come out in the last 8 years was the one aimed at the 6 to 11 year olds :p If I were to compare it to any cartoon in the post Avatar: The Last Airbender era, it would be Voltron: Legendary Defender, a show that at its best was more style over substance, and that fell off hard in its later seasons, with a finale on par with the worst of adult TV such as How I Met Your Mother, Roseanna and Game of Thrones. Most of you are lucky enough not to know what a deep insult to B&B this is, but I promise your children and grandchildren who use Tumblr do :p

Lunatic is not a direct descendant of Eric Forrester, so she'll probably care as much about her as she does for Lucy in Genoa City. That said, assuming she does want to know her, there ain't a damn thing Steffy can do to stop her and I'd be here for that dynamic duo tag teaming on her as she truly deserves. One can hope because other than maybe Wyatt, she's struck out with all the other men she's been with. Why not go bi at this point? It's make more narrative sense than anything with Thomas.
