B&B: What's Up Today at Forrester Creations? - Daily Chat

[GHScorpiosRule]

I stopped watching months ago and as asinine as Luna being out is, I will FUCKING CHEER to see her show up at Steffy’s door with a smug smile and keys to a cage. And to see the look of whatever passes for fear and horror on that heifer’s face.

I wouldn't be surprised if the reason Brooke and Taylor never sat down and honestly asked the question "why do I want this man", is because they're desperately scared of the answer. Realizing there isn't a single reason as to why they wasted decades of their lives on this foolishness, is probably more horrifying to them than just wasting the time they have left on him. Sad, truly sad...

They kind of did that with the whole friendship thing and they walked out on Ridge together holding hands or whatever but it certainly didn't last long. Sigh.

The only explanation I can come up with why these women would continue to chase after someone so unappealing, and who casually & constantly treats them like crap, is out of a longtime habit they both refuse to break.

Sunken cost fallacy is a helluva drug :(

I could squint and see it when RM was in the role, filling Speedos out in all the right places, putting actual effort in being romantic and was actually, genuinely funny at times. Now? Just go find a new man, I am begging lol 🫠

Lord, I really hope they don't get as enamored with the idea of Will and a motorcycle as they used to be about Steffy and her motorcycle. "No, look, she rides a motorcycle, because she's so cool!"  

Truly, speaking as a California, nothing is at all exciting about riding motorcycles, especially when they speed down 580 in rush hour traffic while lane splitting, making merging into other lanes impossible. 😠

Uh. Right.

A more impressive rich person hobby would be making Will a pilot. Or maybe a sailor who meets with a certain Jack Marone at the local yatch club since Will is related to nearly every other kid born within five years in either direction.

And when Steffy said that Stephanie always knew who Brooke was, I yelled at my TV "and yet Brooke was the one she wanted with her as she died instead of your precious sainted mommy."  

Honestly, Brooke should've told her to kick rocks. I accept that request as the end of an era and Valentine to the fans (to use a rightfully maligned quote from thankfully now former producer of Star Trek Rick Berman) that it was but in universe? Stephanie had A LOT to ask forgiveness for.

That aside, seeing Taylor's brain break when her best henchman best friend shut her out in her last moments was worth the price of admission.

GOD YES THIS

Please show, let Luna muzzle the yapping chihuahua for good!

Nice that they topped off the 3 days of after school specials/deepfake/"pro women" lecturing with the kicker of "good, wholesome girls don't pose nude".  

This show is legitimately bad right now.  It's not even bad characters or plot points.  The pacing and delivery is all absolutely off and amateur hour.

Brooke, do not beg that hobosexual for his love and forgiveness.

If I were any more dead, I’d be Taylor’s personality.

It’s kind of gross how much Steffy thinks about her parents’ relationship and reads things into it that simply aren’t there. She and her mother desperately need a new topic of conversation. The Logans are their life.

But nobody holds a candle to Brooke when it comes to being pathetic. Great, she desperately wants to give the company back to a man who unloaded misogynistic poison on her daughter and the smug, hateful bully who lives to shit on the Logan family. She’s even willing to overlook Ridge’s charity dry hump of the beige dishrag. I don’t know who this content is for, but I find it appalling.

I don't know if I'll ever get over the horror of her setting up a bang room for them in Aspen.

That right there, showed how truly disturbed Steffy actually is. I'd say her parents should have seen how desperately Steffy needed psychological treatment at that point, but then look at them. Steffy's borderline incestuous obsession with her father, mirror's his relationship with her namesake. And Taylor has made it clear she'll literally take Ridge any way she can get him, so what difference does it make that her daughter is clearly insane?

So is it Budig's fault this Taylor is such a mealy-mouthed, wimpish, dull, quivering weakling?  The character is being written that way.  She never talks about starting up her career as a doctor.  Her only reason for existing now is to worship Ridge -- and maybe she'll mention grandkids, but only briefly.

As Greenlee, Budig was only capable of being bratty & petulant & snotty -- and that was about it.  She was extremely limited as an actress.  OK, she sucked, but at least she showed strength on AMC.  Now she's just so nothing, she might as well be a picture on the wall.  If they wrote the character out & fired Budig, who'd even notice?  Nobody, that's who.

Is it laziness on the part of the writers to shove this tired Taylor-Ridge-Brooke triangle sh*t at us for the zillionth time?  Yeah, but maybe they think viewers wanna see this crap?  Hey, writers, we don't -- move on from this boring retread & create new storylines & hire new actors!  Let's see Brooke with someone much younger -- or just someone/anyone other than Ridge!

And this is why no one under 30 watches soaps anymore. 

I thought the show was exceptionally out of touch fifteen years ago with all of Hope's attempts to get married before she could legally drink but this shit? In the age of OnlyFans and where sex work is a big part of the gif economy?

The show had a better grasp on this in the goddamn 80s when Donna did her tasteful nudes.

[La di Diva]

The Hobosexual is not Bold and definitely NOT Beautiful. Now Ronn Moss was both. And charming. And romantic. And funny. He couldn't act but we didn't care. He had other ... ahem ... attributes.

The Hobosexual can't act either but he can't hold a candle to RM's other... ahem.... attributes. In fact the Hobosexual doesn't have any attributes. Except being an asshat.

Will on a motorcycle will never ever never ever ever be as sexy and romantic and heroic and badass as Bo Brady rescuing Hope from her aborted wedding to Larry Something while "I Need a Hero" played as background music.

It looked to me like they'd just taken the training wheels off the bike and Will was doing his best not to break any traffic rules - that's why you call the cops and report that the heroine is being menaced by the villain, the cops can race to the rescue before the hero has traveled a mile on his bike.

[La di Diva]

Will looked like a tyke on a tricycle.

It's hard to believe he's the son of badass Dollar Bill.

[KnightStorm]

Brooke finally seems to realize the trash Ridge actually is. Now Tridge can reunite and go on the backburner,  because they're an insomnia cure.

[Chatty Cake]

Does Looney have the hots for Will?  I still can’t believe how stupid Bill is being. 

I loved Brooke smacking that smug asshole across his judgmental frowning face. She could have gone in harder on him but she kept it classy and simply told the moron to enjoy his second choice. The little shove of Taylor was great too.

I think today's episode showed that despite the generally awful writing, the writer's are purposely writing the Tridge Mafia as hypocritical to the point of total delusion. Nothing Ridge, Taylor, and Steffy say can be backed up by anything that happened onscreen,  and Ridge couldn't say a word when Brooke called him out.

[nkotb]

Dayum…why do I feel like the best episode of the year already happened on January 6? 

• Brooke bitchslapped her hobo in spectacular fashion.

• Brooke cut him down prior to the bitchslap for the way he speaks about Hope. I wish she would’ve gotten in a Steffy dig, but she still did good.

• Brooke told the hobo she’s over it, I’m praying she meant it. 

• Brooke shoulder-knocked boring Taylor (Taylor is boring, but I still love RB) on her way out. 

I’m not even a huge Brooke fan, but I’m all in for this version of Brooke.

Does the ability to get a 20-something confessed serial killer outta prison & keep her prisoner in your home, for possibly (or likely?) sinister reasons, make you a badass?  Guess it does, according to the writers . . .

Welp, at least Brooke woke up to what an a-hole Ridge is.  Finally.  Took her 40 years!  She shoulda kicked him in the nuts.  And I mean a really good, hard Batgirl kick.  The “second choice” crack was pretty good & even more on the money cuz she was a shiny brown dishrag today.

Well, we had a sort-of break last week when we didn't see the Fauxresters for a couple of days straight. That said, we were instead treated to a couple of days of CBS's version of "The More You Know..." filled with patented Bell repetitive dialogue regarding deep-fake AI nudes. Really, how do these people actually think that they are putting out entertainment. They are putting out content, but is insulting to the intelligence of the audience. Today's "Slap From the Valley" was a small island of delight in an otherwise ridiculous series of events. I am waiting now for Zende to have an opportunity to tell the Fauxresters that Brooke told him from the jump that Brooke had their best interests in mind in taking the CEO position, but that he will chicken out or be talked over so it doesn't happen. Not that it makes a difference at this point. Bring on Red-Suit Brooke and end Bridge for at least the next few years. Let's see some creativity. Finding the 10,000th way to play the same dynamic is not creative, and not what the audience wants to see.

Also, where the heck is RJ, and why isn't he ripping his father a new one? That would make the character interesting. Ugh.
 

[Blondie]

I just wish Brooke could have gone all Beth Dutton on his arse.  As hard as she slapped him it still didn't wipe his  greasy smirk off his face.  Maybe the greasy slime made her hand slip too much.  

Give him 24 hours to pick up all his stuff in garbage bags off your doorstep before you donate it to good will or the nearest homeless  encampment.   

Last but not least whatever formula she developed and then signed her rights away to Forrester should be given back to her and she can then start charging for.  If they don't want to pay it sell it to competitors.

 

[ScoobieDoobs]

Oh, and a pie in the.face to the shiny brown dishrag woulda been nice too.  Someone needs to do that to Steffy ASAP!  And a good yank on the Hunter Tylo wig, please!

Btw, didn’t that grubby a-hole seem just about to call Hope a b*tch & a sl*t yet again?  Go back there, Brooke, and kick him in the nuts!

Ridge you are the most hypocritical self righteous fucktard.  Hope broke Thomas’ heard because she wouldn’t marry him knowing she was not ready. Are you married to Brooke as of this moment?  Are you making plans to marry her or do you like the current situation.  Hope kissed Finn once and Carter was a result of finally realizing they had an attraction.  Ridge runs to Taylor in the blink of an eye but that’s perfectly acceptable. 

Did Brooke finally grow a backbone?  Only time will tell. Loved the “hip check” Brooke gave Taylor as she walked out.  

There was a news break so I was unable to see if Will and Electra just walk into Bill’s house or did they knock so Luna could hide?  If find Luna is very good with facial expressions.  I really couldn’t tell what Luna was thinking as she was observing Electra and Will.
