It isn't. I figured Bell would pull this shit. I'm not sitting shiva over it because Zende's entitled behavior and oblivious attitude stinks to high heaven but the should've been blasting all the multiple of other rapists on this show too.
But "Entitled Behavior and Oblivious Attitude" could be the name of this show! Why find Jesus only when the Black guy does wrong? And since they won't go back and indict all the other "misunderstanding" perpetrators, this kid should skate with no real consequences too.

Yeah, he is really not good. All rage-y shouting with no modulation at all? Ugh. Terrible. And I don't want to attack the kid's appearance but he needs to lay off the juice. Try cardio.

Let's see. We've had
Ridge with drunk Caroline I;
Ridge with drugged Brooke;
Darla with drunk Thorne;
Taylor with impaired Ridge;
Thomas with drugged Caroline II, et al.
But the first offender to face consequences (including use of the "r" word) is going to be a young Black man?
Not a good look, Show.

Yeah, Deacon's Sheila definitely had nine toes. They were shown and commented upon numerous times.

My speculation is that Sugar was already dying of cancer/Soap Opera Mystery Disease and Sheila promised to make Sugar's family and beneficiaries very comfortable financially if she took the bullet, uh, knife, for her.

What was Sheila's plan exactly? Consensus seems to be it was Sugar who bled out in the Cliff House. But was Sugar supposed to kill Steffy? That may have worked if the real Sheila were working or very obviously and publicly elsewhere so she'd have an airtight alibi. But the real Sheila was nowhere to be seen so I'm confused how this was all supposed to work.

What’s the draw for Hope when it comes to Finn? Thomas is totally devoted to Hope. And a “one-woman man” in a way that Liam never was. His only child is with Hope so he’s not vacillating between the mothers of his children. In addition, Thomas is . . . uh, taking Hope to new “heights” never before experienced.

For heat? Quinn and Carter.
For pretty? RM's Ridge and Taylor; RM's Ridge and O.G. Caroline. Honorable mention to Brooke and Thorne.

The Bold & The Beautiful, now sponsored by Altoids, Certs and Tic Tacs.
This? Is hilarious. Unfortunately, this is also why this genre is dying. Certs and Tic Tacs haven't been a thing for decades. Only older people (like me) will even get this reference. And it feels increasingly like only older people (like me) are watching soap operas. It doesn't help the creakiness of the genre that Luna calling her mom a "druggie" feels more appropriate for an afterschool special from the '70's.
On the plus side, Zende has stepped up his acting in this SL. Luna is doing great. Real tears and everything. But just like his "dad", RJ stinks.

I'm sure BabyBell thinks he's a genius for laying the groundwork with Poppy and Luna very obviously popping "mints" over the last few weeks, leading to the 'uh-oh" mix-up which will provide months of a boring, repetitive storyline.
He would be wrong.

If those "mints" are Xanax, then, given the way Poppy pops them like candy, she has a very serious problem.

Rape or sexual assault
5 hours ago, Waldo13 said:There is really no way of turning Z actions into a “misunderstanding” night. Z raped Luna under the California Penal Code. Highlighted by being intoxicated or under the influence of drugs, not having the ability to resist, and the kicker is that the person is known to the person but the person is someone other than, in this case RJ. Luna believed it was RJ therefore there for Z committed a fraudulent act.
Rape and sexual assault are not strict liability offenses, i.e., those crimes where there is no defense. Statutory rape is strict liability so, even if the victim provided the unwitting perpetrator with a driver's license, birth certificate and sworn affidavits attesting to the fact that she was 18 years old, if she was actually 16? You're done.
Here, Zende has a defense, maybe not a super-strong one, but he does have a defense. They'd both been drinking, Luna was in Zende's bed when he got home, she didn't appear hallucinatory, didn't call him "RJ" (so Z didn't commit fraud by pretending to be RJ), etc. It's not a slam-dunk defense but it's something?
What's beyond tedious is that this is the fifth (sixth?) time B&B has done this going all the way back to Ridge and Caroline I. This conceit is lazy, unoriginal and gross. Do better, Show.

Donna's son with Justin that she put up for adoption and was only reunited with when he was in his '20's is named Marcus. Played by the actor Texas Battle. After Marcus' reappearance and after Donna and Eric's first marriage ended, during which marriage Eric adopted Marcus (he is legally Marcus Forrester), Donna and Justin reunited and married. (They had one of those offscreen Katie/Thorne splits.)
Carter is Marcus' adoptive brother. They grew up in the same family and that's how Carter was introduced. Ironic that he's now more of a "son" to Eric than Marcus was.

Yeah, it does kind of seem like Eric will die and Donna will get some sort of windfall, e.g., all of his shares in FC, the house, etc., completely disregarding the fact that Eric has six children who would almost certainly be included in his will.
The no pre-nuptial agreement thing is just what these idiots, and I mean TPTB, do. No one possessing the substantial wealth like these characters are supposed to have, would forego a pre-nup. But, even if they were to divorce, Donna would only be entitled to half of what Eric made during the marriage. If he had $100M the day he married her and $101M when they divorce, she'd only get half of that million dollars. But that's just the real world, not Bell's LA.

I really hate that Luna was a virgin who felt she may have "lost" something after the deed was done. This kind of antiquated thinking about virginity is so retrograde and judgmental it's ridiculous. This isn't the '50's, Bell.

It would be interesting storytelling if Li was an unapologetic bitch to her sister and her niece, making other characters and the audience sympathetic to them, AND Poppy was the opportunistic sexual mercenary Li claims she is.
So, of course, nothing like that will happen.
Only quoting myself because I hope it's true. If Poppy
Spoilerdid sleep with Jack and Luna is his daughter
then, in addition to Li being a big ole meanie, Poppy would actually be a troublesome, very untrustworthy character worthy of scorn.

Interesting that Zende and Carter registered the most emotion by far at Eric’s homecoming. Some of the best performances ever by those actors. (Almost felt like they were talking to JM himself, not Eric. I hope he’s ok.) Ridge didn’t even try to muster any feeling for the occasion.
And what’s up with Poppy’s pills? I wondered whether they’re for a serious medical condition that will soften her sister and eventually leave Luna motherless (but with a brand-new billionaire dad!) But we just had Eric’s long, drawn-out health scare so I hope they wouldn’t do that again. Especially for a character we just met and don’t know.

I've always been pretty indifferent to Bridget but, with Eric's health crisis, she has become hard to watch. Her crying and weeping over Eric is, of course, appropriate. In her capacity as his daughter. Not as his doctor. That's why you can't be both! Operating on her own father? While pleading for "Daddy" to fight? No.
Pick a lane, Budge.

Excuse me but Zende it’s not very wise to make demands of Ridge that you are the one that has to complete Eric’s line. Zende, with all your schooling and training you completely failed with the HFTF designs.
To be fair, Eric failed HFTF too.

And you know this "experimental treatment" will lead predictably to future storylines of changes in Eric's behavior, possible physical consequences, etc.
I can't wait.

TK is a horrific recast. Not even close to the Ridge Forrester we saw for decades. He growls every line and is just so impatient and brusque. Even yesterday, when he finally shouted at Donna to make clear to her this was hard for him? Would've landed so much better if he didn't shout every other line. Modulate, TK. Modulate.
But also. Ridge is right. He's fulfilling his dad's wishes. And of course Donna wouldn't have his medical POA because she's not a constant in his life. Ridge is and always has been. Would be nice, though, if Ridge sympathized with Donna's pain but proceeded to comply with his dad's wishes nevertheless.

But then, even William Bell himself wrote a story about Christine Blair dating a guy with a strong possibility of being her brother where she didn't let that deter her, so..... :\
You mean the potential incest storyline Bill Bell wrote for his own daughter to act out onscreen? These Bells have issues.

I think the 3 on the Safari are better off, but not having them here if he really does due is bad. Although I would rather watch Safari. Siblings getting together and spending time together without inviting Ridge. Lol
When I first heard Kristin, Felicia and Rick were on safari together, I wondered "Why? That's a weird group." Thanks for reminding me they are actually siblings. Stupid show rarely does.
