If they played "Unchained Melody" it would have been an epic fail. The scene failed, though, due to the finger painting more than the passion shown.
Ssssssh! Don't give Brad any ideas!
I love that they are finally together, but that paints would have been better left next to the easel. Now if they'd brought out some flavored body lotions and rubbed it on and let this viewer imagine where they were gonna paint...THEN I might have been all in with it.
Still I love me some Ridge/Caroline. I'm sitting at that buffet table for as long as it's open!

Oh, yeah. Felt bad for Aly, disgusted by Rick, but still found JY hilarious.
ITA with you that JY is taking this shit and running with it. I won't hate on the actor..he's having fun. It reminds me of my SC having that damn Sharon/Victor bipolar meltdown. She turned that shit to gold and had me in stitches the whole way. You gotta work with what you get!

Those two don't need all of the songs and gimmicks--close-ups of eyes and biting on lips. I could watch those two kissing all day long. That's a rare talent they've got, because sometimes I get skeeved out watching even good-looking people kiss. But there's something so comfortable about them--they just lean in and melt into each other. It's very seductive.
I think she seems older/more mature with him (none of the stupid tweeting and texting, less shrill) and he seems younger, but it's probably just because he's happier and more relaxed now. There is a great line in one of my favorite films, "Amelie": "Love is a great beautician." I thought he was handsome before her, but now he's off the charts for me. He lights right up. They're both glowing.
Your whole post was spot on for me, but especially these parts I've quoted. They are extremely seductive and natural. I believe them as a couple and so yeah, I don't need all that hokey music and painting. I like the romance of it all, but small doses work better.
I really like this Caroline. I no longer see her as that silly girl as you said who was constantly seeking approval with her selfies and tweets. This woman has just created a successful fashion line and that has to be very validating. Ridge seems to bring out great qualities in her and it seems that she's finally comfortable with herself.
ITA that Ridge is glowing, the smile lights up his face and his eyes twinkle when she's around. TK is doing a great job of portraying the comfortable place Ridge is in now. He seems at peace in his new loft and at peace with Caroline.
OTOH, Maya and Rick imo, bring out the absolute worst in each other. I don't see either of them as anything but insipid mean children who are thoroughly enjoying stomping all over anyone who dares to come into their playground and challenge their "meanness" Both of them are on an ugly power trip. There's nothing amusing about these two assholes mistreating Ally or anyone for that matter.
This all started because Caroline shared a kiss with Ridge. Yeah..I get it...Rick is hurt but enough is enough. Time to suck it up, grow up and move on already. Maya is simply pathetic. There's nothing grand about her on the arm of this punk.

Probably not because this is a soap and all that, but I'm going to disagree with this.
I think Bell and the writers were taken by surprise with the chemistry between these actors. Soaps these days tend to force couples rather than let things happen naturally. In this case, some scenes were written with Caroline helping Ridge and suddenly - boom - something was happening on screen.
For me, this pairing brings to mind Mac and Rachel from Another World. The head writer noticed chemistry between the actors, but went about a pairing slowly because he was concerned that the audience might not accept a younger woman/older man pairing. Mac also had a daughter about the same age as Rachel who was always jealous and scheming to split them up.
Does that mean Ridge and Caroline will make it? Who knows but I think there is potential there. Especially since it seems like the writers are changing Ridge from the RM days (not that doesn't mean the audience should forget all the crappy things he did in the past). I get the feeling the whole staying in Paris for a couple of years (was it 1 or 2 I can never remember) is supposed to be the catalyst for the changes. Will he be jealous of Caroline if she finds success away from him? Maybe but then again maybe not because he seems very proud of her talent at this stage.
I guess we'll see but for now? I am all in with Caroline and Ridge.
This whole post is exactly how I feel, thank you for stating it so perfectly.
Mileage may vary, but imo this is not the same Ridge, not just because TK is playing him, but because he's actively being written as more than that spoiled shallow self indulgent playboy of years past. Ridge will always have his flaws and history but I think Brad Bell really wants this to be a new Ridge,
I wish the hair and makeup department would glam up KKL a bit more. If I'm supposed to believe she's this sexy hard to resist siren then I'm gonna need her to get some oomph in that lifeless hair then a bit more glam to the makeup and an outfit that showcases those assets of hers. C'mon show..make me believe Brooke can be a true rival for Caroline, Quinn and anyone else; because right now she looks tired and in need of some serious Estroven laced Fava beans chased down with a nice Chianti.
Mr. Trip watched the episode on return from his travels and he commented how TK must really hate his job right now. The guy must go home btichin everyday about what a tough time he's having opposite that unsexy, homely little LG. ;-)

What in the world is going on with Brooke? I don't get what her motivation is supposed to be here at all. I can understand her wanting to protect Rick or get revenge for him, but if Rick is furious about his wife kissing Ridge, how is his *mother* getting with Ridge supposed to fix that? Sure, maybe it gets Caroline hurt, but it doesn't really balance out. And wasn't Brooke pretty clearly done with Ridge before she left? I am just so confused. And I think it's stupid.
I remember now why I loved having KKL gone. Because anytime Brooke is around it's always about her having to have a man...and usually it's Ridge or she's breastfeeding Rick and trying to save him from someone...now it will big bad Caroline. I think most of Brooke's Revenagenda is about her tired raggedy and surely by now menopausal ass being replaced by the young fresh nublile Caroline Spencer who is the niece of the biggest adversary she could never really compete with. The thing is I love KKL, I think Brooke is a character who could be so much more than the sum of who is in her vagina. I'm just no interested in seeing her chasing Ridge again, been there done that and mileage may vary for some around here but I see very tepid chemistry with TK and KKL; certainly not the five alarm heat that TK and LG are bringing.
Rick needs to stop with his "I've been so wronged" act. Ridge is not the big bad monster...most of Rick's issues are of his own complex and his mother's sexual nonsense being paraded under his nose. That would warp any kid, but in terms of being wronged and in Ridge's shadow, well try being Thorne. The man has never been give a chance to do much of anything in that company, certainly not at the right hand of Eric's throne.
Rick needs to shut the fuck up like yesterday.
I could do without Steffy and her hypocrisy. She forgets that she was happy to be on her back under a man who is old enough to be her father at one time. Bitch can miss me with her damn "hear me roar" bull shit and then suddenly she's whining about Liam and their great love. I didn't miss her either.
Oh my gerd.....Ridge and Caroline...I need a cool cloth, a drink and several cigarettes. I will have seconds and thirds of that hot plate please!
ETA: Shira...your whole post..BANG ON!

I hear you, PsychedelicTrip, but I just don't buy it. :-)
If Forrestor was the only fashion house, then yes, Rick would need to get it together. But they're not. I don't even get the sense that they're unrivaled. If that was the case, they should have been charging up the wazoo for years. In every industry, there are top producers and companies want to have those people. We see it in soap opera writers/EPs/actors, we see it in corporations, we see it everywhere: people bounce from company to company within the same industry. I work for a bank and every time we get reorg annoucements, the credentials of the new people list all of the other top banks they've worked at. Sure, Ridge is a titan among men (whatevskis), but he's not the end all be all. No way will I believe that some other top designer at another top fashion house isn't waiting in the wings to jump ship. And that's not even taking into account that Ridge was MIA for over a year and that he doesn't even design for their line that makes money. I know he left for a bit to work for Massimo and everyone was a-OK.
You bring up some valid points and I would certainly love to see a situation like you describe (another designer wanting to jump ship to Forrester) but as far as I know this show has never touched on this. The closest we ever got was Spectra stealing designs and or trying to lure away designers (someone please correct me if I'm wrong, as there have been times I haven't watched faithfully)
I think it would be great to see a situation like what is happening with Adidas/Nike play out (Adidas luring 3 of Nike's top designers away) and Ridge/Caroline walk to start their own company or are lured away by a rival and then summarily dragged into a huge legal battle when Rick sues them for breach of contract and taking Forrester trade secrets with them. Talk about soapy and delicious,and oh how it would up the ante in this brotherly feud.

To me, this comes dangerously close to the "They're artists! You have to expect this sort of thing from time to time" poo pooing that Eric did. Artist or not, they still have a job to do, and if they don't like the working conditions, leave. Otherwise, produce your work product! Rick could get some Project Runway reject to design, slap a Forrester label on it and he'd be good to go. Ridge is replaceable and has been replaced many times. Plus, Ridge is always on some sort of power trip and he constantly needs to be checked (though, to be honest, Rick usually is on one, too). What was Ridge's excuse when he came back from Paris, fired Oliver and started trying to run meetings? As far as I know, his official employment status at Forrester at that time was "Guy we know."
I agree that just like Rick, Ridge can and has had his own childish and out of control power trips...but I don't agree that Ricky could hire a project runway reject and it would be all good. FC (as the viewers are led to believe) is high end, unrivaled couture with a certain panache in their designs. It's why Ridge is heralded as the greatest designer (in this fictional world). So some wet behind the ears newbie is not going to be able to just come in and capture that and or try to pass it off as FC. I doubt they'd have the sales and succes they just came off of with Ridge/Caroline's recent collection. That's why I find it so foolish that Rick is doing everything he can to piss off his top designers. If Ridge/Caroline left they would quickly be snapped up by another fashion house, or they could start their own company and be fine. Ymmv and all that, but from my perspective..Rick needs them..they don't need him.
Word!
Now, if TIIC want to keep TK scruffy, they need to do it right and style him like former Gucci head designer Tom Ford.
Scruffy, but with style.
Excellent example! TK could totally pull the Tom Ford look and I much prefer that!

Meh...after the way Ricky has treated Ridge/Caroline upon becoming world leader...er CEO of Forrester Creations, I've got no probs with Ridge taking a 'tude with Ricky. In any sort of fashion house, you'll have temperamental designers that is their nature.. Ricky would have shit to 'run' if it weren't for the designers in that company, that's his bread and butter. So he'd do good to sit his little Napoleonite ass down and rethink his juvenile approach to things. He's lucky the designers haven't walked out on his ass for taking the personal issues in his life and using them in business to bully and punish. I don't see any power here, I see a punk in his Daddy's chair.
WTF is Maya so hung up on being the matriarch? First of all it generally takes years to become a respected matriarch of a family and usually they are direct lineage born of said matriarch (although not always). The Forresters are not Maya's blood or her family so probably not girl...but you keep reaching for those stars!
I suspect Brooke is gonna check this girl hard.
I think Ron Moss slim build and natural carriage helped with his version of Ridge. Let's be real here, RM is a flamboyant man and so what we saw on screen wasn't all acting. TK doesn't have near the same build or carriage, but it wouldn't hurt to dress TK with a bit more polish. It's sort of sad to see JY/Rick looking more stylish and there is TK with a suit that looks like Columbo could have been wearing it first. I still love TK's Ridge though; I never thought Ron Miss me was this sexaaaay! And I sure as shit don't think he would have been able to sell any of what's currently happening on screen.

I would like to seriously address Rick's nonsense about Eric not being Ridge's father. That is offensive, and Rick needs to never let that pearl of stupidity leave his lips again. Blood doesn't matter to Eric or Ridge, and Rick needs to accept that. Now, Rick is certainly welcome to reject Ridge as a brother in any way, shape, or form, but he's never going to get Eric to sever the tie.
"My daddy...my daddy.. not yours!" Seriously Rick...shut the fuck up already about it. The thing is, Eric is Ridge's father in every way that matters and no amount of whining and throwing it up in Ridge's face is going to change that. I'm also sick to death of hearing about how wronged he's been his whole life by big bad Ridge and how victimized his mother was. Turn the page already.
Howdy PsychedelicTrip! Thanks for your well wishes and same to you! Hope everything is well after your surgery :)
Hey there! Thank you so much..I'm doing great!
I'm Team CaRidge but I appreciate that there are people here that don't like them, either because they don't like the age difference or they think TK is dirty or they don't like Caroline misbehaving, etc. And I respect that people are Team Raya because they like the actors or they believe they have the higher ground, etc. So long as we're all enjoying the show, and that we can respect people having different opinions, that's most important to me.
All of this!

It always amuses me how quickly all these characters move on from a relationship.
Just yesterday Caroline was 'fighting for her marriage' and today she is kissing/cuddling with Ridge and has a huge smile on her face while dreaming about Ridge.
Liam doesn't show up to marry Hope at 3:00 on the dot, so she runs off and marries his brother that same day. And Liam pouts for about a week and then trades I Love Yous with Ivy.
Rick and Maya break up, and she is engaged to Carter almost immediately - even though they have never been on a date.
Ridge moved between Brooke and Taylor like lightening for years. And both of them accepted it as normal.
Ridge and Caroline talk about taking their relationship real slow - for this show that means marriage by Valentine's Day.
All of this!
I got such a laugh out of Carter poking fun at Maya's pathetic ass. He cracked her face hard when he so astutely figured out that she had to practically pull the ILY out of Ricky. But my goodness she's a presumptuous little twit..the way she waltzes into the office and starts throwing her weight around like she's all that and a bag of chips. WTF does she know about Ridge? She's been in the Forrester circle for all of five minutes and there she is yapping at Ridge like a rabid little chihuaha Rick tosses out of his purse when he needs defending. What has she done except sleep with the CEO? I need her to take several seats and cross her cankles and stay put.
I don't by any means see Caroline or Ridge as innocent..sure they may have started all of this, but the way Rick and Maya behave makes it so hard for me to root for them on any level. Both are so crass and distasteful in their behavior.

Though Jacob Young continues to be my favorite Rick, he is a punk, always letting his women fight his battles.
I preferred KL as Rick only because he came across so much more manly and less little boy and whiny; that said...I totally agree with the bolded.

I don't care about the age difference either, probably because I'm in Ridge's general ballpark--lol! But also, when I was in my late 20's, I did date a guy in his early 40's. It wasn't that big a deal because our friends were a mix of 20's, 30's, and 40's and we just didn't notice it.
But I think Ridge 2.0 and Caroline are stunningly beautiful together. To me, they're both gorgeous, but I love them more together because they're aesthetically opposites--she's a delicate, feminine blonde and he's so masculine and dark. Yin and yang. Plus, aside from the sex forcefield around them (which for me is off the charts), I find them adorable and funny and sweet together, too. They have this funny thing where they're sort of shy around each other but at the same time, they can't keep their hands off each other. They're more multi-faceted than any of the couples I've ever seen on this show...not that Liam and Hope were any big competition, or Original Ridge and Brooke (who skeeved me out as soon as they started rolling around) but still, it's a match made in casting heaven for me.
Psychedelic Trip, that image of Veronica is "spot-on" the cartoon version of Maya--GREAT catch! And by the way, I always liked Veronica (more interesting than Betty) and I think Maya is beautiful.
Your whole post...it's like you're in my head! TK/LG are gaw--geous together and for all the reasons you stated! Archie comics hold a very special place in my heart and as a child I devoured them. I loved both Betty and Veronica, but Veronica was a bit more of a naughty minx. I think Kara is beautiful too. She has a doll like face.
Well......it kinda made my toes curl a little when they kissed in that scene. lol However, concerning the age difference . I see nothing new in this. Remember when Brooke and Donna married old man Eric Forrester? Wasn't there a bit of an age difference there? And yes, at first TK came across as scruffy, BUT, I think he is playing the part of someone who wants someone so badly it kinda scares him and he's doing a good job IMHO. Whether it goes anywhere or not,its good soap.
That's what I've been saying.. what's okay for Eric is okay for Ridge. Age ain't nuthin' to me...if it's there...it's there and it's THERE for Ridge and Caroline!
The payoff has certainly been worth the wait; I was growing worried that it would all be very anti-climatic after this long lull. But, NOT! Boy, did they ever deliver for Ridge/Caroline fans. Those scenes yesterday were out of the ballpark; the dialog, the goofing around, the shyness, all layered under a blanket of smoldering, sexy, hottness. I loved it when Ridge told Caroline that she wasn't sweet and she broke out in that big beautiful smile. If this is how they are going to play their relationship; then I am all about it. Those two absolutely outshine everything else on the show; I realize there were other scenes yesterday, but they are really just a blur except for.......
The gun. Is that the same gun Thorne used to shoot Ridge? The same gun Stephanie gave to Brooke and told her to off herself? The same gun Stephanie used on Nick? I can't believe that was random. Rick is acting so unhinged and disconnected, that I am wondering if he won't get the urge to start shooting again.
The contrast between R/C and R/M is striking. I have never seen once ounce of chemistry between JY and KM; not the first time around, and not this time. Their sex scenes are awkward at best, and when Maya is kissing Rick, it seems like she is trying to suck his whole entire face in. Outside of that, the relationships are playing out on opposite sides of the light spectrum; I see Ridge and Caroline as sweet, and fresh, and real, and bright, and I see Rick and Maya, as troubled, and angsty, and phony, and dark.
So glad to see you back PsychedelicTrip; I hope you are feeling much better now, and a blessed 2015 to you as well!
Oh, how I have missed your hilarity!
Shout it out!
I love this!
That is a perfect summation of what makes Ridge and Caroline so special.
Thank you for the welcome back my friend! It was just minor stuff (being a female is hell sometimes) but I'm feeling so good now.
I have to agree with you about KM/JY, I just don't see the chemistry and it's not for lack of trying on her part, but JY just comes across as so flat in their scenes. He's not selling to me that Rick is or was ever into Maya. Or maybe that is how it's supposed to be played...Rick is still in love with Caroline (which is more what I believe) and he's simply going through the motions with Maya. Her kisses are much more passionate and he just seems to sort of give them back with a half hearted response. Someone up thread mentioned Rick comes across so much more masculine with Caroline and that's exactly how I see it; although I never want Caroline with that twerp again.
ETA: Ooh those spoilers! I'm excited!

Christmas came early y'all, or a little late or whatever!! http://cbs.soapsindepth.com/2015/01/is-kristen-alderson-bbs-new-hope.html Hope will NOT be recast! Good tidings to all! Apparently the rumour that Kristen Alderson would be the recast Hope was so appalling to TPTB that they came out and publicly announced plans to dump the recast at this time. No matter who you ship in the quad I think we can all give this a great big 'FUCK YEAH'! Cheers ladies!
Oh my Lord...was that an option? WTF would have ever thought that was a good idea? Just no.
Holy crap. Wishful thinking on whose part? Maybe KA's...

There is a reason that YR was the gold standard of daytime. The lighting was exceptional and really cast the right mood for every scene. The actors were cast beautifully and had a certain Bell-esque look to them. The sets were lush and there was detail in everything down to the fresh flowers. I've always said that each set was its own character, we came to love them and understand their place in the show. Without those sets, the scenes would not be the same. No other daytime soap had the exquisite musical score that YR had, haunting and soft. Even the characters/couples had their own music and when you heard it...you knew who you were going to see. Oh those days... Bill Bell was the consumate storyteller and there will never be another like him.

Hey all! I'm late on all of this (Been recuperating from some mild surgery) but I just wanted to wish all of you a Blessed 2015, may it be full of health, prosperity joy and continued laughs here! You all are wonderfully funny, bright and insightful! Thank you for making this place a favorite haunt XO
Now on with the show..I have nothing insightful to add to all of your wonderful thoughtful posts because as someone upthread said, every character in this mess has to own their part and I think it's been covered from every angle. That said....OH MY GERD!!! I finally got my Caroline and Ridge kissing like they both needed some fresh air in those deprived lungs! "Say what you want" Yaaaas! I don't care 'bout nuthin' else....just get her Ridge! Kiss that baby so hard that top bun uncoils.
Mileage varies and all but THIS would never ever be as compelling or sexy with Ron Moss. No way, no how. Kudos to TK for breathing some fresh sexy air into a character that had become tired and worn out. I am loving THIS Ridge Forrester and I love that he is finally shown to have at least some sense of self awareness. It doesn't erase his past mistakes, because that's history, but moving forward I would love to see him have more depth and to at least be about one woman (for a while anyway). I have no desire to see Brook/Ridge for the millionth time.
Speaking of Brooke, I love KKL but I'm not in any hurry for her to come back and break the wonderful spell that has been woven in her absence. This show is popping on all cylinders with her gone and the good riddance of KM. Still I know she's coming and I just hope she keeps her mitts off Ridge. I know she can't be without a man for long.
I've been trying to rack my brain who Kara Mosley looks like and she's adorable, but her face reminds me of Betty and Veronica from the Archie comics.
For those grossed out by Caroline and Ridge is it the age difference or TK himself? I personally find him ultra sexy. The way he moves and talks and uses his body language to convey emotions. He's dreamy and I don't mind at all the age difference. There are a lot of women who dig older men and if Eric can hook up with women young enough to be his daughter (Donna) then Ridge can as well.
The person who grosses me out is Rick..he's such a little beady eyed punk with a bad haircut and his pouting is just over the top and a huge turn off. I'm no Myrna fan but I sort of feel sorry for her at this point that she thinks he's some catch. If there's something to be learned here it's just how vindictive he can be when he's felt betrayed. I think Rick may love Myrna on some level, but he's not passionately and deeply in love with her. What he loves is the adoration and worship and pedestal that she puts him on. Rick has many unresolved feelings of low self esteem and self worth. It's why he constantly needs validation from his father and his women.

I think calling her a racist because she is nasty to the woman who is after her husband a bit if a stretch. And could someone please explain why "Myrna" is racist? She's calling her by a name that is similar but incorrect to show that she is insignificant...and not insignificant because she is black. Yeesh
That's exactly how I see it.

Why would her sister support a classist, racist asshole over her own flesh and blood?
Re read my post please. I never said I expected Myrna's sister to be pro Caroline. I'm hoping that the sister's just don't get along. I as a non Myrna fan would love to see her sister come to town with her OWN agenda, one that does not support Myrna. I'd love to see Myrna squirm at the hands of someone who really knows the deal on her. Not all sisters get along, at least not in my family.
Mileage an all that, but I don't see Caroline as racist. I see her as a snob sure, but not racist.
I'm fully aware that Caroline has done the same crap as Maya. Storywise, neither one is better than the other (though personally I tend to think messing in someone's marriage is worse than messing an engagement).However, I don't like the actress who plays Maya. I watched her on Guiding Light and thought she was terrible pretty much all of the time. II think she's awful here too. That wide eyed look is not acting to me. Not at all.
I wasn't a big fan of the actress who played Caroline at first either, but once Carolyn took that swan dive my opinion has changed. I think she's terrific.
For me it comes down to performance and I'd rather watch Caroline any day of the week. I want her as far away from Rick as possible. Frankly, I'd rather Maya dumped his whiny baby ass too.
Caroline and Ridge all the way for me!
I haven't missed Hope a bit. Brooke either. It's a pleasure to watch this show with neither of them around.
Your whole post but especially the bolded parts. Kara Moslely is a bit more enjoyable to watch lately but I still don't care for her acting. The grinning and goofy faces take me right out, because it's the same trope over and over with her and I find myself simply annoyed rather than entertained.
LG has really come into her own and I think that she really could be the next great heroine of the show. I never found KM all that great of an actress, pretty to look at but not much else; with LG I am riveted to her scenes.
Funny how having both Logan women gone can be like opening up with the windows and letting some fresh air in. I don't miss either of them either. I like KKL just fine, but this break from her has been wonderful!

I hate Myrna. I just want to wipe that smirk off her face. That stupid look on her face when she and Rick went to the mission was enough to make me want to reach through the TV and slap her hard. That expression made me think she feels superior to the clients of the mission. DIAF Myrna!
I can't stand this bitch either. She was something today telling Ivy that she was trying to 'act all innocent' when later it was she who strolled through the shelter with a side ponytail looking all doe eyed, trying to act like she was the essence off innocent. Then there was the crack she made to Rick that the only reason Ivy came by her apartment was to 'judge me'. Interesting that no one can judge her but that was exactly what she was doing to Caroline and Ridge and they really had only shared a few klssess. Myrna really needs to climb down off that pedestal she's put herself on. I could appreciate her game if she weren't so damn smug all the time. She's only a mistress and she's acting like she's the next Stephanie Forrester. This girl needs to have a few stadiums seats because she just doesn't have it like that. I sort of hope that when her sister arrives it's to cause a shitload of trouble for Myrna. I don't expect her to be team Caroline, but I sure as shit hope she has a bunch of dirt on her sister. I'm personally rooting for a murder down the road and hope it's Myrna they find murdered. I've had about enough of her trifling ass and those goofy grins aren't doing her any favors.
I actually felt bad for Wyatt today and was glad to see Ivy comfort and remind him that he lost a child too. Was it just me or did her eyes scan over his face as if she was seeing him in a new way? Maybe there will be some chem testing with these two or a teasing of a relationship?
I really wish they'd roll Oliver and Ally out more. I miss those two and think they need more story. The actress who plays Ally is a model in real life. I'd love it if they would consider Ally for some modeling and give Myrna something to sweat about in her career. She loves to lord it over everyone how she's the lead model.
Fred Willard is all sorts of goofy but I do think he and Pam could be cute together.

Normally I would agree, but it was Maya's inability to keep her nose out of it that set this whole thing in motion. And all she saw was a hug, and started shouting about affairs and infidelity. I'd say Maya doesn't have a whole lotta wiggle room here, and should keep the threats to a minimum.
THIS! Very well stated. As far as I'm concerned...Ivy can butt in all she wants: she's only doing the very same thing Myrna did and it's not like Ivy is trying to break up any relationships so she can get with the CEO and keys to mansion. Ivy has every right to be concerned at what is going on. I'm just hoping she gets a spine and realizes that she holds the trump card here and goes to Eric.
Add me to the list that hopes it's Myrna who gets knocked up. I need Rick to have that noose tied really tight around him and we'll see how Myrna deals when Rick is demoted or worse in the unemployment line.
As for Caroline and Ridge: TK plays Ridge as a man so besotted by Caroline that he can't take his eyes off her and she's aware of it and trying to ignore it. And that daydream of his? The man's got it so bad it is killing him and yet he seemed very sincere about giving Rick credit for stepping up and was not going to fight him on anything - Caroline or Forrester. The writers are nicely and subtly showing through his actions what Ridge won't admit - he's in love with the woman and is putting her before his ego. He thinks she wants Rick and wants him to be happy so he's backing off her and Forrester and just doing his job. But when he finds out Rick's been playing all of them? Its gonna be sooooo on.
I love this! I got chills at the bolded, because that's exactly what I see.

I was so excited to see today's eppy, but sadly the whole thing fell flat for me. Othello is like a block of wood and I'm tired of Myrna and her goofy grins as she gushes about little Pricky. This chick is just delighted to be a kept mistress and honestly aside from the view, that apartment isn't all that. The Forresters are loaded and considering how much money Myrna's sugar daddy has, this apartment with the tub in the living room is still low brow.
I don't have feelings one way or the other about JY as Rick, but something about his constant pouting and whiny voice bugs; I can't take him seriously as anything other than a spoiled little man child. I don't get the appeal of him for either woman. I get that TK is not sporting rock hard abs or a youthful face, but there is something very manly and commanding about him that I dig and if I were Caroline, there would just be no contest for me.
Ivy should have put a finger on Rick's forehead and reminded his ass that she is a Forrester by blood and he's got no hold over her, then she should have told him she was going straight to her Uncle Eric to tell him about the shenanigans with Myrna.
I did chuckle though at Myrna trying to be tough with Ivy and saucing up her threats with some Aussie flavor with "boomerang and didgeridoo". I did love Ivy cracking Myrna's face with the dignity comment. It's time someone told that cheap mistress how it is.
Caroline love...a baby won't fix the marriage. It only highlights the cracks in the marriage. This is one time I will thank Rick for not wanting to have sex with his wife. The last thing I want is my sweet Caroline knocked up by that stunted man child.
I need more Ridge daydreaming of Caroline.

Just got caught up on the last few eps and oh my! Ridge's hot daydream is what I'm talking about! If I must wait for the actual consumation of this relationship then so be it, but keeping bringing me these teasing neargasms. I know that once it really does happen the full release of my soapgasm will be worth it! I could do Ridge/Caroline all day!
Rick is such a little prick isn't he? He takes Caroline back but won't do the deed with her, meanwhile he's shuffling over to the shady mistress pad he bought for Myrna. If bitch had any dignity and sense in her head she would see that apartment for what it is; a gift to placate her and keep her from opening her trap and a place for Rick to come rut with her when the mood hits. Poor lead model, nothing but a second rate mistress who can easily be bought. I hope that now Ivy knows she will at least confide in someone, maybe it will be Liam who in turn will tell Bill. Oh what a holiday treat it would be for this viewer if it's Bill who rips that little punk Rick to shreds!
Speaking of Bill...I think Katy is a fool if she takes him back. Brooke is off the grid but once she comes back, Bill will have his head turned again by her. Bill wants all of his toys and so does Brooke. I'm not ready to see Brooke and Katy fight over Bill.

If Bradley was trying to show what a star crossed couple Hope/Liam were today, it was totally lost on me. All it did was make me think what a selfish self serving pair of putrid pricks Liam and Hope are. Here Wyatt, Liam's brother is grieving over the loss of his baby and all Liam can do is suck face with Hope. Clearly Brad, was giving the Hope/Liam fans their grand goodbye and a big middle finger to the Hope/Wyatt shippers. All I felt was disgusted. As for Hope, well I never really cared much for her, so she just reaffirmed the spoiled nasty self righteous bitch I always thought she was. The only person I felt for today was Wyatt, having to deal with an obsessed meddling mother who has built her whole existence around him. It's clear that he had to be the adult in that relationship, to take care of her and also please her. He never really learned to live and make decisions for only himself. I hope with Hope gone and maybe Quinn getting institutionalized for a time, that Wyatt can really live for himself now. Maybe he'll meet the right girl.. a girl who will love him and only him. I don't think he's all bad, just emotionally stunted by a toxic mother and toyed with and used by the wrong girl. Hope can stay gone. I've got no fucks to give for that worthless piece of glittery lint.
So now..on with next weeks promo! It looks good! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eS4FtRNw9Y

I thought Billy Miller was way overrated, and David Tom was just fine.
THIS! I thought he was a great Billy, but the constant backlash that came when he left was over the top. The guy wanted to use the show as an ATM if things didn't pan out in hollywood and well he just wasn't that great to warrant such a deal. Either shit or get off the pot and I thought his little grinning and hamming it up was getting old anyway. He only had either drunk mode or grin mode and it was a stale.
David Tom had a tough gig to step into, because it was obvious AH wasn't feeling him and she sort of poo-poo his return. I thought DT had amazing chemistry with Jess Walton and Peter Bergman. I also thought DT was the only male actor that could have finally made MCE look good..they had a nice dynamic.

B&B: What's Up Today at Forrester Creations? - Daily Chat

I'm so glad that LG is alright. Considering how this accident happened, she's a very fortunate young woman to stlil be alive and to have gotten away with the injuries she sustained. It's not good, but could have been so much worse. God Bless her and her sweet one, I hope she makes a full recovery with no long term damage to her legs.
Mileage and all that, but I definitely saw chemistry in the beginning when TK and KKL when he made his grand debut with Brooke and Ridge on the steps. I remember thinking wow...this might actually work. I don't know though, somewhere along the way it fell flat and maybe it's because it was too soon to have THIS Ridge coming out of the gate with KKL, when viewers had only ever know RM's Ridge with her. Maybe that's what all of this moving Ridge about with Katie and now Caroline is about, tiic are trying to let TK get settled and truly in the role. It seems to me that they are still in the process of fleshing Ridge out and separating him from RM's Ridge. I don't know that I see hostility with TK, I think he's trying. I'll cut him some slack because he's got big shoes to fill and there's the whole supercouple status of Brooke/Ridge that I'm sure he's aware of.
