Agreed $Bill's bringing the hammer down on Liam to nail shut the door to Steam was very welcome. Did not, however, appreciate the threat of banishment. I can't believe $Bill would do that to, let's face it, his favorite child. I've always appreciated their father-son dynamic and relationship so that left a sour taste in my mouth.

Maya and Rick's concern about Nicole and Zende's non-relationship is only to assuage their own guilt about, essentially, coercing a naive virgin into carrying their child. Of course, they're dying to get those two back together. As soon as that happens, they'll erase from their memories the fact that their selfish greed caused this mess in the first place.

Yesterday, for the first time, I feel I saw a different motivation from Katie other than being the morality police. By gently implying Caroline would be drawn to the father of her baby, she wants Ridge free to occupy Brooke so Brooke won't go after Bill.
And as I type this, for the many of us who think Douglas is actually Ridge's son, it will be Katie who switches the test results to make Thomas the father, further cementing the Caroline-Thomas "bond". Then months (years?) later, the deception will be revealed, Ridge will prove to be the father after all, and Caroline and Ridge reunite.
Ridge/Brooke/Eric (with baby Bridget) all over again.

Rena Sofer's face looked a little "off" last week. I'm wondering whether she pulled the new-haircut-so-you-won't-think-it's-plastic-surgery routine.

At least $Bill got in his "are you kidding me?" frown at Lt. Baker and his hot dog.

Seems they missed an opportunity to have DreamSteve say to RealSteve, "I knew we'd see eye-to-eye on this".

Zende, chile please. Of course the way you show someone how much you "care" about them is to tell them that you're screwing their (former) best friend. AFAIC, you can take your effing "honesty" and shove it up your narrow azz. Plus, there were no other women in LA you could sleep with other than Nicole's (former) best friend? Sorry but I think the kind of men who do things like that are showing how much disrepect and disdain they have for both women. Nicole should consider herself lucky to be free of someone who really seems to think very little of her, or at least not as much as he thinks of himself.
Joimiaroxeu, as we all know, there are no other women or men in BellA other than the eight or nine people in the cast. No one, not a single person on this show, can claim the high ground over Zende on this point. Did Brooke show disrespect and disdain for Eric and Ridge when she got pregnant by, and married the former, after being engaged to the latter? Or when she married Thorne? Or Nick?
Every character on this show has been involved with siblings. Hope was involved with Wyatt and Liam at the same time. And Taylor hit the rare trifecta bedding three generations of Logan men. Hell, Zende is "only" sleeping with his ex's "best friend". He doesn't even know they're siblings. That's got to count for something, right?

I don't even understand the need to kill characters like Aly and, possibly, Deacon. Wouldn't having them in a long-term coma or "permanent" vegetative serve the same purpose? Without unnecessarily closing the door on future appearances? (Of course, that never stopped Taylor from constantly resurrecting, but you get the gist).

Couple things:
1. I know timelines are crazy wonky on this show but John's paternity story is especially weird. The Korean War, from which his newly-discovered father was presumably MIA, ended a few months before Drake was born. If we accept that as something close to the SL of the characters, when was Drake's mother supposed to be impregnated by his father? Did his dad knock her up and ship out to Korea a few months before the war ended? I guess.
2. Not spoiler but speculation:
I have to imagine Chase's SL will be that he's Steve and Ava's long-lost child. He has the Johnson family rapist tendencies, e.g., Duke and Jack, and he'll be related to a core family, Steve and Kayla's. The latter means he'll have to sort of, in some way, despite his horrific crime, be accepted. At least a little. And Steve and Hope are best friends, so there's conflict there. And Steve's brother raped Steve's wife, so more conflict. They could totally have done without this rapist SL but, since they've done it, there may be some story to mine from it.

The exuberant joy Steffy and Wyatt felt about their engagement, e.g., "You're going to be my husband!!1!1!", was because they've only been together for a matter of days. With normal people, you get engaged after months or years of dating, during which time you've had ample opportunity to fantasize about being married, discuss being married, etc. With these two, it is literally a surprise. They haven't had time to even consider it before it becomes a reality.

I think there's a very good chance Quinn gets busted, $Bill and Liam come down on her hard and are about to have her arrested but, at the last minute, she announces she's pregnant and they, reluctantly, back off. Then, it will be Quinn trying to bring Liam back around, "feel the baby", etc., leading to a potential detente, if not an actual softening of feelings.

While this is a soap and not the real world, "I grew up here" isn't an explanation one could take into a courtroom to defend why they made changes at a home despite not actually owning it or living there. Stephanie's dead and unless Ridge owns the house, his "I grew up here" defense is worthless and besides the point. Rick was living at the house and stayed there because Eric allowed it. Rick isn't "entitled" to do anything since he isn't the owner, but he has a much better argument for what happens there than Ridge did.
Neither RIck no Ridge has any legal claims to the house. But Ridge certainly has more of an equitable claim because he's spent the majority of his many decades on this planet living there. Counting his time with Caroline in the guest house and his time with Maya in the main house, Rick has lived there for, what, a year maybe? But the bottom line is that Eric owns the house. And, as the owner, he's entitled to change his mind. If he wants Stephanie's portrait over the fireplace now instead of Maya's, end of discussion.

Well, Quinn did say there was something about those Spencer men. Considering she's had Bill, and Wyatt's her son, that leaves Liam as the lucky beneficiary of her nutty intentions.

I wonder if Liam's bonk on the head is going to result in a wholesale personality change like boring Jason Quartermaine's car crash turning him into, well, even more boring Jason Morgan? I guess a better example would be Caroline Spencer, II turning into Caroline Spencer, II v.2?

Brooke is my girl now and forever, but damn I'm over this constantly slithering into Bill's office with the flimsiest of excuses with a tight dress, cleavage, slinky walk and innuendos -- acting all innocent like she doesn't know what she'd doing to him. The power of a kiss indeed.Brooke knows better than anyone that telling Bill he can't have something makes him want it even more and become more determined to get it. Declaring her love for him, that she's never stopped thinking of him/them and then pushing him away with 'Oh no Bill. We can only be friends'.
She wants him back and she's going to tease him until he breaks. Then she can be all swept away by his passion, and declare she couldn't help herself, and she was overcome by emotion. And 'oh Katie we're so sorry we hurt you.'
Exactly. She lit this match and now she's acting as if the fire was some sort of inexplicable spontaneous combustion. This didn't just happen. You started this! And the "Do you think we can be friends", complete with kindergarten-teacher condescension, is supremely aggravating.

The first day?! The first day?! It's not even lunchtime and Brooke and $Bill are at it again?
Come on.

Was that flight attendant's Down Under accent authentic? She seemed to me to be laying it on pretty thick.
She sounded more like she was from New Zealand to me.
And where is all this "Forresters are respectable people" crap coming from? Even putting aside Julius's social climbing aside...he HAS heard of Brooke Logan, right?
We know "respectable" just means "rich". With all those divorces, scandals, run-ins with the law, etc., there's no way those people can be considered "respectable".

Does Liam carry his passport with him at all times? Not sure how he would have gotten through security without it. And how did he even buy a ticket for an international flight with no luggage? Post-September 11th, that's got to raise some red flags.
I really hope this show doesn't have a location shoot in Australia. I can't deal with more montages full of fake enthusiasm and pointing.

This show keeps trying to sell Thomas as a highly-desired playboy who's the object of every woman's lustful attention.
Ha. I don't think so.

Simply put, Jessica is a misanthrope. Tony is not.
Tony has a large circle of friends. And he's not mean. Neither of those apply to Jessica. I'm rooting for her just as much as I would root for any protagonist and I find her attitude amusing but she's pretty rough-around-the-edges. I'd say she's more like the Hulk than Tony Stark. The Hulk wants to be left alone and has no real use for other people. We know Jessica actually cares for her sister Trish but it's buried pretty deep. If she can barely tolerate the person closest to her, I'd say she just isn't a "people person".

So it seems Ivy and Thomas' single conversation about not being blood-related is all we're going to get on the issue.
Not even snarky Quinn dismissed Thomas' pursuit of Ivy as impossible, gross, incest-y, etc.

Happytobehere, great post.
I'm tuning back in to see the old favorites for the 50th but I have a question that may tie in to your comments:
Has Kayla always been a doctor? I've been watching on-and-off since the '80's. I first saw Kayla when she was on the docks with "Patch" and they were doing their little push-pull dance, their courtship, the cigar band engagement ring, her becoming mute, sign language, etc. So, when I tuned back in at some point during the intervening years, I was surprised to see her as an M.D.
Now, a retcon or one-month medical school, I can understand. This is a soap opera, after all. But, if she's been a doctor the whole time and I, a fairly dedicated viewer for years, somehow missed it, maybe it's because of the lack of focus on these women and their lives outside their men.

I actually liked the idea of Patterson having had several live-in boyfriends. It reduces the cliche of "nerd-girl-inexperienced-at-relationships" to nil. She's not socially awkward or giggly or flustery (not a word). She's a woman who's had serious relationships in the past.
However, while I liked the casual mention of more than one live-in, she is pretty young. Maybe I'm old-fashioned (I am) but that seems like a lot of "almosts" to me. Would feel the same way if a man were saying it. When she kept referring to her past live-in boyfriends, I thought "good for you" and "really, dude?" at the same time.

Only on this show would a guy have to worry about his girlfriend's cousin hitting on her.

B&B: What's Up Today at Forrester Creations? - Daily Chat
in The Bold And The Beautiful
While the Nicole/Zende "relationship" is boring, it's also irritating. I can't get behind all the shade being thrown his way after he tried, but ultimately failed, to get on board with his girlfriend having his uncle's baby. And, unlike what happens with most relationships on this show, he actually broke up with Nicole before he hooked up with Sasha. (And if no one could date a friend or relative of someone they've already been with, well, no one would be with anyone on this show.) So, Zende slept with Sasha and realized Nicole was The One and now they're back together. But if he's having his cake and eating it too, so is Nicole because she did exactly what she wanted (gestate her sister's baby), and now she's got her man back. Now, I hope it will be Zende's turn to do what he thinks is best (for his career) and hope Nicole can get on board with it.
