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

[Js Nana]

Daphne: Finally, a character more insufferable than Steffi - won't it be a hoot if she and Carter really fall for each other and they become the power couple at Forrester?

She's going to work her vampish wiles on him - hey, it works in France, why not the USA?

I think Daphne and Carter really falling for each other would be an exquisite "pie in the face" for Steffi.

She's going to dazzle him with her apparently supernatural ability to create smells that send the human olfactory system into fits of rapture.

Brooke's weak sauce slap didn't even leave a red mark on Sludge's face

. . . but that didn't keep him from running to dishrag, boo hooing about how Brooke, the Meanie, gave him a boo boo.

[Waldo13]

A slap is just a slap but a kick in the balls would have sent a much better message.  Poor poor Taylor she has a fake heart condition that was all in her head and Brooke shoved her.  Taylor as a psychiatrist, would know how to fake Broken Heart Syndrome. 

Carter is under Hope’s spell. If anyone knows about casting spells it would be Stuffy.  

Wouldn’t Brooke know that Daphne and Stuffy are friends?  Maybe Brooke doesn’t give a 💩 because she really wants Ridge to get FC back. 

Please tell me how Brooke knew about Daphne?  It wasn’t mentioned because Brooke was complaining about Ridge since she came into the office.  

Is Stuffy going to be 3 for 3 in stealing Hope’s men?  Liam, Thomas, and now Carter?  Liam is an idiot, and Thomas is a man child but Carter is 3x the man those two could ever be.  I don’t know how kosher Hope is in bed but I’m pretty sure Daphne is well versed in the art of the Kama Sutra plus a mind blowing sent that may entice Carter. Stay strong Carter! 

[nilyank]

Okay a couple of things.

Ridge thinks that it is all Hope's fault that Thomas is a violent, stalking psycho. So little 9 year old Hope used her evil hypnotic powers to force that sweet Thomas to setting on fire Rick's house and trying to blow up his car. Got it. Even when they sorased Hope, Thomas was always older/more experienced than her.

Fuck off Ridge.

On to Steffy. I am sure her business strategy involving Daphne is going to be studied in business schools for the next century or so. She didn't need to use any attorneys or show off any of business acumen that she has learned since she started in the mailroom. No, she is reinventing the oldest profession in the world by having her "friend" to seduce Carter for financial gain.

Lets look at the record, Steffy has stuck her nose in Hope's romantic life for shits and giggles with almost all of Hope's significant others (except for Wyatt but that was only because Hope was living in Europe).

But not surprised that Steffy came up with this Daphne story. She also had the bright idea of encouraging her psycho brother Thomas to go after Hope in order to keep Liam and Hope apart way back at the beginning.

Steffy thinks that she is like her evil grandmother Stephanie who for all her slut shaming over the past decades had multiple schemes were she tried introducing  complete strangers to "romance" someone and having that blow up in her face. You know like when she facilitated Brook getting raped.

So Steffy, double Fuck Off to you.

I still can't get over this Daphne character. She's horrible. The awful "French" accent. Pursed lips and narrowed eyes. No wonder the French look down their noses at Americans!

Carter, Hope, and Brooke are doomed to fail as they are exhibiting no critical thinking skills. Why would Daphne (the Nose) just show up randomly at FC to pitch a collaboration? There was no pitch deck, proposal, or samples. Now, FC is just going to blindly sign a contract with her.

Friday's episode will be Dishrag and her horrible daughter comparing notes of their previous nights of "passion." Gag. 

 

[Snaporaz]

If Obnoxious Steffy and the equally obnoxious Greatest Shnoz in all of Pear-ree are such great friends, why hasn't Steffy ever approached Daffy about a for-real collaboration before? Forrester has dabbled in perfume in the past, haven't they?  Isn't that why Ashley was there?

Ridge's reaction was predictable, but I'm really disappointed in Eric.  He's always had Brooke's back, she's the mother of two of his bio-children and has as much of a claim to FC as both Ridge and Steffy, and he's currently married to her sister, so him seeing this as an act of betrayal even after hearing about why she took the job seems wrong on so many levels.

I only wish Taylor and Steffy had been in the room when Brooke accurately called her Ridge's second choice.

Steffy knows as Ridge told her to her face that Taylor was a Safety Net. Unless she too stupid to realize what that means. Then again, she was fine being Liam's Safety Net when Hope wouldn't be with Liam.

[KerleyQ]

Steffy "I blame Hope for everything that's happened since."  Yeah, just take that last word off. You blame Hope for everything that has ever happened. 

Is Daphne doing this because she has a crush on Steffy?  Because that was the vibe I was getting from their scenes. 

Brooke, do not second guess anything you said or did to Ridge yesterday. He more than earned every word, slap, and more. As did his little jock rider. 

Ridge "we have the house all to ourselves."  Good Lord, man. You're 60 something, and you're bragging to the little dishrag you keep around as second choice about being alone in dad's house. Like the two of you snuck out of class while your parents were at work. 

While Eric was going on about how it's the family's business, I was asking my TV "OK, so where's the rest of the family?"  Because his family is much bigger than him, Ridge, and Steffy, is it not?  I'd love to see Brooke bring some of that family back to work there. 

Considering exactly how Carter got where he is right now, he's not going to be stupid enough to sign a contract with Daphne without reading it over thoroughly, is he?  Because it's going to be super annoying and stupid if Steffy gets the company back exactly how Carter got it in the first place.

I'm sure I'm in the minority here but Eric not backing Brooke is something I'm enjoying.  The Brooke-Eric relationship is one of the most one-sided on this show.  Stephanie was mean to you, Brooke?  Go to Eric for support.  Need a man to pretend to be the father of the baby you're having with your son-in-law?  Go to Eric for support.  Brooke uses Eric.  They're "friends" when it's convenient for her. 

The "Slut from the Valley" and most of the other epithets uttered against Brooke are off-base and mean.  But if someone called her out on consistently using and manipulating Eric, I would cheer.

[ScoobieDoobs]

Yeah, Eric was ALWAYS ripe (and super easy prey) to be manipulated by pretty much ANYONE near him -- whether it was first Stephanie, then Brooke, then Donna & now the gruesome 3-some of Dishrag, Grubby & Hunter Tylo Wig.

Oh sheesh, I'm really not looking forward to more from Daphne LePew . . . feh!

[ScoobieDoobs]

So Grubby changed & still looks grubby.  And Dishrag changed into something with dull sparkles & still looks like a dishrag.  They’re smiling at each other endlessly — to make up for the severe lack of acting ability of either of these 2?  Anyway, it’s really nauseating to watch.  Blech.

Brooke, change the dress, please.  Tanzanite blue is not your color, hun.

Steffy is creeping me out with her general weirdness.  Ick.

[nkotb]

There was a lot to unpack today, considering it was a pretty boring episode.

• Ridge’s “we’ve got the house to ourselves…” damn, guy, you’ve chaired a fashion corporation for decades, you come from millions, & your 2nd choice / current love interest is a “world-renowned psychologist” TM, how can you neither one afford a place of your own?? 

• I despise Ridge, but that dress was gorgeous, & it looked stunning on RB.

• Speaking of RB, I genuinely love her. She’s adorable & charming, & so very wasted as Taylor, & even boring, drippy Taylor is wasted on Ridge. Criminal on both parts.

• Steffy seducing Finn, but stopping to call Mommy to see if she’s joining them for dinner, then when finding out her parents are playing kissy-face, she goes immediately back to humping Finn. I should’ve counted the number of words he said, no kidding, he couldn’t have possibly spit out 20 words the entire episode.

Having said all of that, I’d donate $1 to Anti-Hope for the Future if Ridge would stop mid-make-out & complain that his face is still too sore from the Brooke slap to continue kissing. 

[Crashcourse]

Taylor was making googly eyes at Ridge, but he was looking at her like she was some kind of ancient relic he was thinking about purchasing and putting on his shelf of knickknacks.  

[Waldo13]

I will laugh out loud if Stuffy’s plan backfires and Daphne goes after Finn instead of Carter. In the immortal of Captain Picard, “Make it so”. 

The dress Taylor is wearing is fucking ugly.  It look like something you would use as a dust cover for furniture.  A shapeless dress for a shapeless woman. 

I said this before and I will say it again, Brooke is an abused woman. It’s always her fault when it comes to Ridge but yet she yearns for him. Why doesn’t the monkeys with a keyboard do a PSA on abused woman?  

If anyone knows about a man being putty in a woman’s hands it would be Stuffy.  

Do you know what’s more 🤢🤮 than Ridge and Taylor?  It’s Brooke’s yearning for that worthless *** 🤢🤢🤮.

[CaffeineFree]

Oh, so very much yes to this.

When I think about it, what Carter and Hope did is disgusting and criminal (also not even close to realistic, but I digress), and yet, the Marones (Maroons? Morons?) are so unbelievably abusive and entitled, that we have to root for team LLC. I fast forward through nearly every scene with Steffy, Ridge, and Taylor.

Someone also suggested that Brooke bring back other family. YES! Start with Rick, an actual Forrester, and the actual firstborn, Thorne. I have to wonder if he has any lingering issues with what the Morons have taken from him. (Birthright, mother's love, as well as killing his wife and daughter.) There are so many more angles to play with this show, but they are too cheap to rehire folks to play them out. 

Also, next time, Brooke, do not lay hands on Ridge. A well-placed thrusted knee should communicate your message more accurately and effectively.

I will give Bell one thing: he makes us hate some characters. However, I should still want to watch them as they drive story.

[KerleyQ]

So, how long was that drive Eric went for? Is he going to eventually come home to these two assholes beige-banging in his living room?  Get a hotel room, you fucking hobosexual. 

Steffy's Husband knows his role. He never even met Stephanie, but he knows that he is contractually required to tell Bitch in a Box that she is exactly like her and doing her proud. And Steffy is right there to soak that all up and agree with him. 

[ScoobieDoobs]

Wait, did Finn actually say words or did he bark?  That's right, Steffy, pat Finn on the head & he'll go woof, woof, woof for ya.  Uh, are we supposed to like, admire & envy Steffy?  What planet are you living on, Bell, shoving this stuff at us?

As I watched Dishrag & her endless smiling at a-hole Ridge, it made me sad how pathetic this character is.  Her whole world revolves around Ridge & his whims of whether he feels like being with her or throwing her away.  She's in bliss cuz he's chosen to be with her for a few seconds & when he predictably dumps her, she'll be whining over her broken heart crap.  Blech to all of this misogynist garbage.

What's worse is Brooke forgetting how she made so much sense when she slapped him & said she regretted ever meeting him, and wanted to get off the vicious cycle with the 3 of 'em.  Gah!  I can't with this . . .

[GHScorpiosRule]

I can't decide who has the worst faux French accent: This Daphne person or the supposed assistant of the local WSB/former agent Brennan over on General Hospital.

Do you think the hacks compare notes?

[backhometome]

Donna is such a weirdo. Spying and reporting back to Brooke is pathetic at their age. 

Ridge certainly doesn't waste time. Wanting to move in together. As much as I dislike Liam at least he has been single for a while now. 

Steffy really needs to let this obsession with her parents go. 

Previews have Li saying Jack is Lunas father?. I never bought the Finn is the daddy theory.

Stop killing me dead, please.

Wow, Ridge sure looked happy after that vigorous dry hump. Not at all like a hostage. Dumbass. Good luck extricating yourself from a woman who might die if you leave her. 🤭

What kind of fucking weirdo talks about her parents’ love life before and after sex? I figure Steffy talked about mom and dad during intercourse, but I hate to assume. Finn could be replaced with an animated dildo and no one would notice.

I know I’ve been all over Brooke for being pathetic, but I dare say Taylor might be redefining the word. It’s so obvious she’s the rebound and a punishment for Brooke but she’s willing to delude herself into thinking Ridge means any of his bullshit. Now if only Brooke would stop pining for the hateful loser.

Shut the fuck up about Brooke and Hope, Steffy. Your family is trash. Straight trash. Enjoy being up each other’s ass 24/7. It’s going to be profoundly hilarious when Ridge goes scampering after his destiny again.

Ridge was kinda looking like this 😐 after having sex with Taylor.  I guess he's thinking about Brooke now.

Doesn't Ridge know that leaving a quazillion candles burning while he plows the dishrag is a fire hazard - imagine how embarrassing it would be if he had to explain how he caused his (faux) daddy's mansion to burn down.

Ridge uses women to prop up his fragile ego - if one falls down on the job, he just moves on to the next available.

Welp, maybe he could tolerate it once, but after the second time he realizes having sex with a dull dishrag twig drip ain’t so great?  Ya think?  

And the sec he dumps her, she’s gonna get that broken heart crap again.  But he’s a such a-hole, so why would he care about that?

Steffy is acting so freakin’ weird, maybe she’ll order Finn the lap-dog to keep Dishrag satisfied when she gets dumped by the a-hole.  I know — ICK!  But Steffy is such a weirdo lately, who knows what she could do.

I hate candles!  Never thought they were "romantic", to me they're just fire hazards.  The same goes for fireplaces, even though I realize that some people might need them.  

[Waldo13]

Taylor/Ridge and Stuffy/Finn 🤢🤢🤢🤮.  They clear me out better than the prep for a colonoscopy.  

Which beach house is Ridge talking about?  Is it Stuffy’s house she bought from Bill?  Are they planning to move in with Stuffy and Finn. 

I have a question.  When are Stuffy’s kids ever around?  I have another question for Stuffy. Why shouldn’t Brooke be loyal to her daughter?  Ridge is always loyal to you. 

I’m sure Stuffy had a bigger “O” from Ridge and Taylor being together than make love to Finn.  

That look on Ridge’s face after coitus with Taylor was like making love to a rag doll and was missing the golden cooter.

I haven't watched today's show yet, but I am assuming that they're talking about Taylor's old beach house, which Wyatt bought at some point. When Wyatt left town, he rented it out to RJ, who seems to no longer exist, leaving it empty (but still Wyatt's, unless they're just going to retcon that away).

Wasn’t that house still Bill’s beach house or did he give it to Wyatt who leased it to RJ. Bill took Poppy to the beach house like he still owned but maybe he knew Wyatt was not there. But it wouldn’t surprise me if somehow someway Ridge gets position of the beach house.

Yes. Bill owned/owns it, and he knew Wyatt left town, but I don't know if he knew he'd leased it out (or maybe he knew that, but didn't realize to who or that they were moved in already).  

[KnightStorm]

At this point, Bell needs to give us a real twist to this mess. Let Ridge marry TayTeen, and not able to divorce her because she'll die of broken heart syndrome. Let him pine away for Brooke, who's moved on to an actual adult man and not a man baby like him. He can spend his days living in the prison he created for himself.

[KerleyQ]

Every single time the dishrag isn't looking at his face, Ridge looks like he'd rather not be there. Such a great love story between a man and his safety net. Hell, even their biggest cheerleader basically acknowledged that her mother is just a stopgap measure to assuage his pride and keep him from forgiving Brooke too easily. 

It is unfathomably icky for someone to talk about their parents' love life as foreplay and postcoital couch pillow talk. And don't those two have a bedroom? Steffy's Husband has had to learn to get turned on by talk of his in-laws' sex life if he ever wants to have sex. It'll be hilarious if he keeps finding himself inexplicably turned on around Ridge.  

Is Ridge afraid to live alone?  That's why he needs Greenlee to move in with him in  order to move out of daddy's house? 

Brooke, how much more do you need to be fully and completely done with that asshole? The shit he said about your daughter? The shit his daughter says about you that he just stands there and lets happen?  The shit he said to you and accused you of?  Jumping to Taylor's bed right after your argument, just like he always does?  Unless you believe your "destiny" is a sleazy asshole whose only concern is making sure he has a dick warmer at all times, this dude should not be your destiny.

The Daphne actress (Murielle Hillarie) really is a French actress, so the accent may be exaggerated, but it is real. I wonder if she stays on the show for a while if it will fade to a more American accent.

I know this has been said, but Steffy's obsession with her parents getting together is so odd. She is what, mid-30? She would benefit from talking to a psychologist (not her mother!) about this. Though it is more about getting one up on the Logans than anything else, I think. If Ridge was going after someone with absolutely no connection to the Logans, would she be like this? Can anyone remember how she responded to Ridge and Denise Richards' character's relationship? Maybe she didn't care since Taylor was off screen/not an option?

He needs Taylor to get the lease/buy the house so he doesn't have to spend his own money. Afterwards when he leaves her again, she won't be homeless.

Well since Shauna showed up around the time after the baby switch was done, Taylor was conveniently overseas so didn't have to explain why buying a baby from a complete stranger for her daughter was a BAD IDEA.
