First, Drake and now, Wayne? 😞

What could have been a great takeover storyline or one where it was the great FC defection, it’s been a snooze fest. Brooke, your betrayal of Hope is second only to your betrayal of Bridget that led to Hope’s existence. What a sorry excuse for a mother. Ridge demanding Carter dump Hope, seeing her as the root of all evil. 😡 🙄Who does he think he is, God? Since he has a pea for a brain, it’s clear he thinks Carter couldn’t have come up with the scheme on his own. At least Luna will be back to liven things up.

It works for Steffy.

Probably the only bath he had all year.

to everything you wrote, @RuntheTable.

I could watch this over and over. Skip to the 4:58 mark. You're welcome.

Secure women don't illegally fire employees for actions that have nothing to do with the workplace. Secure women, who trust their husbands, men who have given them zero reason to distrust them, know that it does not matter if a million women throw themselves at their husbands. Because a loyal, faithful husband won't give another woman a single thought. Finn has made it more than abundantly clear that he never was and never will be interested in Hope. That should have been enough for Steffy but it isn't and that's all on Steffy. Steffy torpedoed her marriage to Liam by cheating with his father and nearly did the same for Hope and Liam's marriage and her own committed relationship to Finn by cheating with Liam. She does not have any legal or moral high ground here. Again, it's her own insecurities from her own very checkered past that are in play here. Steffy had zero grounds to fire Hope. She did it to punish her for ONE kiss when Hope was drunk which Hope has apologized, profusely, over and over again, to Steffy and Finn. The lingerie incident was an accident and had nothing to do with Finn and even if it did, again, it is not grounds for firing. I also fail to understand how one drunken kiss is being inflated and conflated with Steffy fucking her own father-in-law or her ex-husband who was married to Hope at the time. As far as Hope fantasizing about Finn, to that I say, if temptation is a sin than Christ himself was a sinner. Thoughts are...thoughts. Actions are...actions. The only difference is that Hope has shown remorse for her actions. Steffy will never, ever own her shit and with her team of apologists at her side (her trifling enabling parents most of all) she never will.

Steffy fired Hope with zero cause because of her insecurity. Brooke may be insecure where Ridge is concerned but until she fires someone for so much as looking in her lover's direction, Steffy is going to take the prize.

They don't call him Nick-DUH-las for a reason. Oh wait, that's probably just me.

I'm seeing where all will be revealed (about Heather's murder) in tomorrow's episode (11/13/2024). Hopefully, it will be more entertaining than the two cheaters getting their HEA.

We can hope but I doubt we'll ever get that. Andplusalso? It doesn't matter. Even if it had been Finn Hope was waiting for, it wasn't grounds to fire Hope. Steffy wasn't even thinking that in firing Hope and killing HFTF, she put many, many folks out of work besides Hope and Zende. But Bitch could not care less that some FC will likely struggle to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table and the holidays are coming up. Speaking of the holidays, you're a mean bitch, Steffy Grinch. More lyrics to come later if I'm feeling festive as we approach the season of joy and giving. Something Steffy knows nothing about. I hope Hope and company jump ship and form their own fashion house, but barring that, I hope Carter finds some loophole to oust the Fauxersters from the top spots. Finally, the premise that Carter is up on his high horse about Hope, is a bit faulty. Yes, Steffy and Ridge are technically his bosses but he is not just the COO, he's lead counsel for FC, so as such, it behooves him to point out when the company, including its C-Suite employees are acting illegally to you know, avoid litigation.

Hope's outfit was honestly not any more revealing than Steffy's and at least her boobs weren't on full display.

Hope IS a victim in how she is being treated at work. It is none of Steffy's business why Hope was wearing lingerie at work (especially considering the barely covering her crotch and titties on display attire Miss Thang sports most days ending in Y). Or whom she was wearing it for. It. Does. Not. Matter. Even if it was Finn she was looking to entice and boy, if he didn't seek her out in her office, where she is known to be Mon-Fri 8a-5p. It still does not matter. But again, for the cheap seats, Hope's attire and the person whom she was wearing for are none of Steffy's business. Hope also doesn't report to Carter so there's no issue there. Hope's sex life or love life or dating activities are none of her CEO's business unless there is a anti-fraternization policy at work, which clearly there isn't since the head designer/ertwswhile co-CEO is married to Brooke who is kinda sorta a co-CEO, too, now, and pretty much everyone who has worked there in the history of ever, except perhaps Charlie and Pam, have fucked or canoodled in the office premises. Steffy has zero grounds to stand on and her termination of Hope is unlawful. Hope doesn't have to "play" at being the victim. She IS one. Two-fold. Hostile work environment and unlawful termination - and Steffy is entirely to blame with a side of Ridge hand-waving as always.

Steffy IS the big, bad bully to Hope. She has been for weeks, ever since Hope kissed Finn at a non-work event and Finn is not a FC employee even though he's there far more than at the hospital where he is supposed to be a doctor. Hope is innocent from any workplace wrongdoing but Queen Bitch is so insecure about her own marriage because of her own open warfare on her relationship with Finn (via fucking and kissing Liam while supposedly committed to Finn, the former resulting in WTD #2) that she's projecting onto Hope and wielding power she has no business wielding. If this show were based in any kind of reality, Steffy would have been, at minimum, investigated for a hostile work environment and likely on leave or fired. Her hostile treatment of Hope is illegal as is her firing. Hope should sue FC but we know she won't but if she did, she should absolutely win, as it's not even a she-said, she-said situation but there are multiple witnesses to the horrific treatment. And Steffy has NEVER faced any real consequences for her horrible behavior, except for the nanosecond when Liam rightfully left her ugly-crying on the walkway at the cliff house when he learned about Stallion Night and WTD #1 and even he succumbed to the brow-beating to forgive and forget because of Kelly. Until after Hope returned to town. That is the sole time since she has had a fully-formed frontal cortex that she was made to take responsibility for anything and it is important to note that she took no responsibility for Stallion Night until after Ridge and Taylor assumed Bill took advantage of her. But even then, she would never have come clean if Liam hadn't caught her red-handed. Even Katie of all people visited the poor, pregnant adulterer to "there, there" her a little bit. So I'm going to be like many of us here and be just a WEE bit skeptical about the prospect of Steffy ever paying. Again, she's the female Victor Newman or the poor man's Stephanie Forrester. Even Stephanie realized she was an insecure idiot and made her peace with Brooke, wanting her by her side as she was dying and no one else. But this bitch will never, ever learn. So long as she keeps being enabled and being told that the bed of shit she's made for herself smells like a rose.

Luna is back next week. Yes, that means Poppy, too, but I will take Luna any way I can get her. But can she please escape and put That Bitch Back in the Box? Because she has been even more insufferable than usual since Finn rescued her, a feat I didn't think possible.
