A limp beige dishrag and a greasy hobo. A match made in hell. I hope Brooke catches them making the beast with two backs and forgets all about getting the company back. But she’s the perennial, pathetic doormat so of course it will never happen. The ghost of red power suit Brooke is screaming somewhere.

Not me, trying to figure out if I'm too old, ahem, mature, for that sweater.

Can Luna make like the Grinch Who Stole Christmas and get rid of every single person on this show? Because I'm seriously over everyone at this point. That includes Hope and Carter because all they've managed to do is make the most unlikeable, terrible people into the wronged victims. Even if it's mostly in their own twisted minds.

A little ray of drab, washed-out beige. Why Zende is sucking up when neither Stuffy or Fridge have ever given two 💩 about him is beyond me.

I am certain she didn't think Fridge would be thrilled but she did not deserve to be called a "nasty little bitch." That is not okay. Especially as Hope isn't the one who is responsible for any of this. This is on Carter and also on the co-CEOs for not really reading or questioning what they were signing. Putting the blame on Hope removes her agency and that of Carter. Which is another gross heaping helping of misogyny. Because grown-ass man Carter couldn't have possibly orchestrated this on his own. He needed the feminine wiles of a woman. Except he did do this all on his own. He is the one who drew up the papers and knew the ramifications. Hope didn't know until the papers were drawn up, Carter had signed as manager and the only actions were to get Steffy and Fridge to sign. Which, again, Carter got them to do all on his own as Hope wasn't even there. I think they are a bit rushed but so many pairings are on this soap and others so I'm shruggy guy about it. But they are not "gross." They are single, young and hot - why shouldn't they hook up? If I were Hope, I'd hook up with Carter in a nanosecond. The sexy sax of sexy (saxy?) times tries too hard with everyone.

There are no words for the ugliness of yesterday's episode. Fridge's misogyny knows no bounds. Brooke, are you listening??? For once in your life, stand up for your flesh and blood. If you don't do anything but gawp and make noises to Fridge, then I no longer have an effs to give you. I hope he adds insult to injury by reuniting with Drowned Beige Meerkat. I hope Hope lets him have it with both barrels. Like she did with Flo. Fridge, BTW, is my nickname for TK's Ridge that I thought I had retired but the contrast between Ronn's Ridge and TK's and it's more than just the writing speaks for itself.

Well, well, well, did TPTB actually hear my threat? Because Carter being in charge is quite a comeuppance. Justin having to restrain the grin on his face was hilarious. Why Ridge, whom he dropped out of a helicopter, reached out to Justin in the first place is beyond me. Justin cannot stand the Fauxresters. This is why you READ before you sign, folks. Even though this will likely all be flipped back in a week or so, I'll enjoy it while it lasts. Seeing the smug wiped off BIAB and Sludge's faces is worth it.

Either BitchInTheBox needs to get a major compeuppance or I'm done with this show other than reading here.

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.
