Hiyo February 24, 2021 Share February 24, 2021 I liked Conner too. He had great chemistry with many of his castmates, wasn't related to any core characters so the incest factor when hooking up with others was low, and his job meant he could be employed by both Forrester and Spectra, even if he wasn't a designer himself. Shame the show seemed to lose interest in him in the late 90s, I wish he had stuck around longer.

Anna Yolei March 9, 2021 Author Share March 9, 2021 I'll admit the last 15 years of blatant Looney Tunes batshittery may be coloring my opinion on this, but IIRC, this was weeks to maybe a couple of months after she pulled a Liam and slept with a man who wasn't Ridge because her "best friend" was a 40 year old virgin and they were going to die in an avalanche. As far as I can recall, she had no feelings beyond platonic friendship and respect as a mentor. Yet, what the heck did she think he was gonna do, pine away forever? Also, what Countrygirl said. Taylor is fine with hiding her dirt for years while pointing out everyone she's flaws, including Brooke's. The fact is Ridge would've left her on the spot if he'd found out about James. She knew it and Stephanie knew it. Ridge even told her when she finally came clean 20 years, two marriages and three children later that he was less pissed about the ONS than the hypocritical pedestal she put herself on. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/15006-retro-bb-when-the-beautiful-were-also-bold/page/10/#findComment-6652207

The only thing I liked was him being a thorn in Liam's side on the heel of the previous three years of shenanigans, but even that only barely balances out the fact that he immediately began demanding money and job positions from Bill.

But then when he started picking up every single other one of Liam’s leftovers - Steffy, Ivy, Sally (well a one-sided crush on Sally’s part), it was ugh, Wyatt.

I never had an issue with Taylor disregarding Caroline's dying wish, because I don't think it's right that she made such a wish in the first place. Caroline should have just wished for Ridge to be happy again down the road, and to find love again if he so desired. She doesn't get to decide who the next partner is. I find that idea kind of squicky and also problematic on any number of levels, so I cheered Taylor for not being manipulated by it. (I also appreciated that the show didn't have Ridge decide his love life based on that either - I also hate that trope where characters force themselves into being with a particular person because someone else in their lives, usually on their deathbed, expressed a wish for it.) 1 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/15006-retro-bb-when-the-beautiful-were-also-bold/page/10/#findComment-6682320
