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

[Chatty Cake]

Where’s cousin daddy and his dilemma? Why do we have to endure the Forrester Fucked Over By Their Own Stupidity Team with guest star Pepe La Pew and their constant meetings?
By the way Carter if you are going to steal a company you have to have the stomach for your own shady behavior and believe that the pigs you stole from deserve it. 
When is Brooke going to have enough of Ridge treating her like crap? She knows he’s banging his number 2. Why is she still begging? 
 

[CharlizeCat]

Because Ridge is her D-E-S-T-I-N-Y. That is so sad that she has resigned herself to believing that this is the best she deserves out of life. 

I don't understand all of the hoopla over the jewelry line. What were Quinn and Ivy doing for all those years. FC already had a jewelry line. Did it just go on hiatus because Quinn left? At best, it's just a relaunch. Big. Whoop.

Why does TK have such better chemistry with his male co-stars? He is hot with both DD and LSV. Why not just make him gay or bi? Could you see Brooke and Beige Dishrag's reaction if Ridge informed them he was dumping BOTH of them for Bill? or Carter? 

I agree. Hope's personality did a complete 180 since she started f-ing  her stalker. He sure did a number of her. 

 

[KnightStorm]

Brooke's kids and her sisters need to give her an intervention. Brooke has been emotionally abused so long by Ridge, she sees this as "love". Hope has been a mess since she jumped into bed with her stalker, but she told no lies to Ridge. He and daddy's little monster think they're better than everyone,  despite doing the exact things they accuse others of. I'd rather they purposely sink the company,  than for Reffy to get it back.

Hope was on fire today.  She did get in some great digs on Ridge.  But the a-hole didn’t process or acknowledge any of it.  And what was with the pained expressions on Carter’s mug while Hope was letting Ridge have it?  Why is Carter such a friggin’ wimp?

I muted the stuff with Smuggy babbling, the Beige Dishrag looking haggard, Zende in yet another hideous shirt & Daphne LePew in really ugly purple pants.  Blech.

Brooke groveling yet again?  Oh it’s so painful to watch this, it’s so pathetic.  Does he have to bang Dishrag in front of her, for Brooke to finally move on from him?  Guess even then, she still wouldn’t, eh?  Yech!

Even then I could see her sitting next to the bed saying “Ridge, I am going to get your company back. Come home please”

[Anna Yolei]

For many reasons in universe and especially out of it, I didn't expect Harter to be one for the ages but I'll be sure glad when Hope walks away from this. She's finally free of one spineless little puke and certainly doesn't need to stay with  another one hugging it out with the only man who's disrespected her worse than even Bill did.

I mean, Rick's tried multiple times to no avail, albeit in ways that made him come across as no better than Ridge himself. Hell, he was willing to sign a deal with the devil Satanie herself.

It's funny in hindsight bc of he and Steffy had dated even a year later, they could've been united in their hatred of Bridge and perhaps worked together to bring them down lol.

I have a question. Did Katie forget to shave her chest this morning.  Some sister.  Shouldn’t Katie be the voice of reason for Brooke about how 💩y Ridge has been to her but it seems that she’s leaning to Brooke dissing Hope.  

Brava Hope brava. Dressing Ridge down was a thing of beauty. 

Speculation:  Are the monkeys with a keyboard waiting for Finn to tell Stuffy until the end of the week so Stuffy can storm off to places unknown and get her maternity leave?  

[KerleyQ]

It was cathartic to hear Hope saying all the things we've been yelling at our TVs for months. It was really a thing of beauty. 

What wasn't a thing of beauty? Any of Brooke's scenes.  Sweet Jesus, Brooke. And it culminated in her telling Ridge "I'm the woman you believed in." Um, beg pardon? When has he believed in you?  Did he believe in you when Thomas faked the CPS call, and he didn't talk to you about it, instead heading directly to Taylor?  Did he believe in you when he assumed the worst about you taking the CEO job and, again, went right to Taylor instead of talking to you about it?  Seriously, once that line crossed Brooke's lips, she should have had an "ah-ha" moment, and thought "wait, did he ever believe in me?" Instead, she asks the hobo to "come home" when he probably still hasn't even showered from the last time he fucked his safety net. 

[Snaporaz]

Katie must have been wearing a Zende costume the day Brooke revealed her real motive for taking the CEO position, because Zende has no recollection of that conversation, while Katie knows every detail of it.  I swear I feel like I'm watching the evening news when I watch this show.  Some asshole tells blatantly obvious lies, and nobody challenges them.  It's making me crazy!

[NinjaPenguins]

Wow. Now Brooke is thiiisss close to blaming her daughter for “the coup.” Stay classy.

It must be hell at Forrester Creations under Carter’s brutal corporate regime. Why wouldn’t morale be low with all the success and dignity and stuff? No hobos washing their junk in the janitor’s closet sink and no two minute Logan hates? Who can work under such conditions?

Ridge, buddy, companies change hands all the time, even companies named after people. You ain’t special. Hope was dropping truth bombs all over you, but, luckily for you, you’re armored in your own arrogance.

Did Steffy call Hope a seditious traitor? Seriously? Fuck off. She and her parents are unwatchable. 

[Js Nana]

My fantasy B&B storyline: Hope, finally opening her eyes to the realization that she's been surrounded by toxic people, including her "Who's my daddy this week, mommy." mother, her whole life, wishes Carter and Brooke the best, resigns from FC and uses her time, energy and talent building a stellar fashion house that will leave an anemic FC in its rear view mirror - - Oh, well, it's just  a dream and I won't hold my breath waiting for it to happen.

 

My new sobriquet for Steffi: Dominatrix supreme - everyone jumps when she cracks her whip!

The best thing Bridget ever did was move to New York and Hope should follow suit, the next best thing would be to take her talents elsewhere and let FC be miserable without her.

[KnightStorm]

Carter and Brooke win the award for most pathetic today(though Taylor is runner-up and overall champion). Brooke constantly groveling to that piece of horse excrement shows that she now only exists for Ridge, just like Taylor. Being paired with that facsimile of a man is the worst thing that could happen to any woman on the show. And then there's Carter, who after concocting the entire takeover scheme, is now wimping out, and ready to leave Hope holding the bag, knowing full well that Reffy will unleash absolute Hell on her if they regain power.

[Waldo13]

Brooke, Ridge and Eric belong at FC. When was the last time Eric was at FC?  Isn’t he retired from designing and the operations at FC. 

Ridge is a raging ass hole. Hope wouldn’t committed to Thomas when being with him a relatively short time but YOU haven’t committed to Brooke in years. Why couldn’t or wouldn’t accept a relationship, with Hope, like you have with Brooke. Ridge’s breath must stink with all the 💩 that comes out of his mouth.  Ridge and Stuffy want what they want but woe to anyone who gets in their way. Their self indulgence is paramount.

What else can a sane woman do when her half-sister is the result of her mother fucking her husband.

[Artsda]

Brooke is so pathetic. She wants back the man degrades herself and her daughter.  More than anything? Get a backbone. 

Ridge cared about spending time with Douglas since when?  He never cared when they lived on same property. Brooke spent more time with Douglas than either grandparent. 

Hope made Carter do all this when?  Hope stole?  It's not Hope who came up with the idea or brought up the idea or filed the papers or put Carter's name on the papers. 

Team Hope for actually calling out Ridge and never going to answer to those 2 again. Nobody should have to work under people calling her slut and bitch. I do think she should just quit leave her mother and Carter to grovel at Ridge's feet.  

She should have sued, gone to media, moved forward far away. Make Ridge happy and move off the property he didn't own. 

Zende saying "uncle Ridge" is weird. 

[Js Nana]

Sure, Carter, sure - go crawling back to the Forrester's and if you lick their boots just the way they like it, they might move you out of Forrester Creations' basement.

Hate to sound like a broken record, but RUN HOPE, RUN!

[KerleyQ]

Oh, Hope. Do not waste another moment of your time on that man. Let him go run to the arms of the hobo, so the hobo can kick him in the teeth. Walk out on him and on FC.  Just go. Live your life without any of that bullshit. Call your brother and talk to him about starting your own company. 

Brooke, I'd urge you to do the same thing, but you seem to be too far gone. So, go ahead and keep letting the Hobo kick you in the teeth. 

Jesus, Finn. Just tell her already. Also, though, where did that happy picture of Li, Poppy, and Luna come from?  Because Li wouldn't have been caught dead smiling in their presence.

For real. I need to see Steffy's face crack at the news and actually get her involved in a story that is not about Hope.

[ScoobieDoobs]

So anyone else notice a definite shift in the Carter/Hope storyline to actually fit in with Ridge's deluded narrative?  It's a really gross & yet again, misogynist move by the writers.

We know it was totally Carter's idea to take over the company & he acted by his own choice & was not hampered in the least by any of the wimpy guilt he's displaying now.  And Hope's only role in the take-over was merely as a confidant to him -- and that's it.

But wow, has that changed!  All of a sudden he's got endless pained looks on his mug & he can't stop crying & whining about losing his best friend & "brother".  Uh, is he a man or a little girl?  How is Hope not totally turned off by what a wimp he's become?  And now Show seems to be making it appear that Hope is manipulating Carter, which I think is the writers' sneaky & awful way to make Ridge appear "right".  Yuck!

Actually, to me, Hope has become the show's only truth-teller & she's trying to instill confidence into the weakling/wimp Carter has become.  He seems to be as much of a lost cause as Brooke is.

No, Ridge merely walking out is not enough of a rejection for Brooke.  Was expecting her to say -- What do ya want me to do to get ya back & off Dishrag, Ridgie?  Murder Hope?  Sure, OK, done.  Instead, it's the same convos over & over & over & over.  Zzzzzzzzz.

[NinjaPenguins]

I truly appreciate how there’s room in most episodes for someone to fawn over Steffy. Whether it be her mother offering compliments in a beige monotone or her hand puppet husband, Steffy always has someone polishing her apple. The problem is that the apple is actually a cow flop and now all these other characters are covered in shit.

But, hey, Steffy’s father excels at ruining characters, so she’s a chip off the ol’ turd monolith. I’m sure Brooke’s dignity is around somewhere; the hobo she’s so hot for probably stole it and hid it in his favorite train car. How cold, arrogant, degrading and cruel does Ridge have to be to snap Brooke out of this? There’s nothing romantic about watching a woman throw her daughter under the bus for a misogynist oil slick. That bindle toting bozo had the gall to bring up Thomas, his child abusing, murdering stalker son, as part of Hope’s pattern of ruining men? Nah, man. Ridge and Taylor created both the monsters that have tried to ruin Hope’s life. Hilarious that Ridge can imagine Hope terrorizing FC employees. By hilarious, I mean fuck off. The moon doesn’t have enough square footage to handle the enormity of his projection.

The high powered fragrance inventor has nothing better to do than tattletale to Steffy that daddy was talking to Brooke behind closed doors? God, Steffy, stop answering Daphne’s calls with “bonjour”, you pretentious fool.

It just blows my mind that Brooke and Carter are doing a good job, having success and have the chance to succeed even more, but they’d give it up for a vulgar clod who insults them to their face and says even worse things behind their back. Ridge continually escalates his vitriol against Hope. I wouldn’t let him on company grounds, but I’m not hobo-curious like Brooke and Carter.

Truer words were never spoken than when Finn declared that Steffy deserved to know the truth about Luna. Also wanted to give him props for the excellent photoshop of the Nozawa women all happy and smiling together.

[Crashcourse]

Honestly, I don't like any of these characters anymore--including Steffy--which is why I rarely watch anymore.  However, Hope is no innocent victim herself, she's a grown ass woman, and I have no sympathy for her at all. 

[ScoobieDoobs]

Sheesh, Liam, want some cheese with that whine?  Oh man, yet another man on here who’s become a total wimp.  Or maybe more of wimp than he already was?  Did he suddenly show up cuz it’s a hint Smuggy is gonna turn to him when Finn finally tells Smuggy that Luna-tic is his daughter?

[Anna Yolei]

Finn will never have enough insane relatives to ever get me to root for Steam again. But I suspect what will get Steffy truly back on her Liam BS is his ass kissing that I suspect Finn won't do here for once. Turning his back on a biological mother he never knew is one thing, but he ain't gonna leave his kid in the lurch.

[Waldo13]

Poor poor Liam his life sucks.  He can do what ever he wants but Liam chooses to be a sad sack.  Why does it seem for Liam to be more around Stuffy because of Kelly than around Hope because of Beth?  In fact, when was the last time we saw Liam and Hope interact. 

As I thought, Finn is not going to tell Stuffy until Friday giving time to once again run away and get her time off. Either that or Stuffy goes to Liam for comfort and poof she is pregnant with another Liam baby 😜.

Yep. He's already talked about how he feels like if he'd been in her life, she wouldn't have turned into the killer and kidnapper we know and love. He had so many issues turning away from Sheila completely, and he's not responsible for her like he is naturally going to feel for his child. He might initially agree to follow Steffy's "stay away from her orders" out of panic over not wanting to lose his wife/family, but he'll likely get past that quickly, especially since nobody knows where she is. He's not going to be OK with his daughter just being lost in the prison system (which is what he's going to think the issue is).

Then she can have Who's The Daddy #3. And she'll still lord her self-imagined superiority and moral righteousness over Hope and Brooke. 

[KerleyQ]

What was with that bizarre serial killer entry into his own home they gave Finn at the end there?  

I'm surprised Finn is able to see how manipulative Poppy is so clearly.  Identifying women behaving manipulatively is not exactly one of his talents. 

I predict he still lets Poppy get into his head, though, and he'll just tell Steffy that Luna is missing, not that Luna is her stepdaughter. 

[NinjaPenguins]

It was nice of Liam to pop by to fawn over Steffy and her marriage, a marriage so perfect and full of love that it will undoubtedly redefine the institution for centuries to come.

Finn must have the memory of a goldfish to not realize how shit goes down when he offers Steffy a truth she doesn’t want to hear. Maybe she’ll move in with mom and dad and grandpa so the crybaby collective can mix in caterwauling about Finn in between Logan roasts.

That reminds me, I laughed so hard yesterday when Taylor talked about how confident she is in her relationship with Ridge, and cited, as one of the reasons, how he's "living here with me."  Don't you mean that the two of you are squatting in his daddy's house?  That sentiment would have a lot more weight behind it if you two got off your asses and got your own place. He didn't move in with you, he flopped over to daddy's house after Brooke hurt his fee-fees, and now you've joined him there because you don't have enough self-respect to not be his "safety net." 

[nkotb]

Oh, Steffy. I understand what she’s saying that Finn was barely an adult, & Poppy was older (I would only guess her to maybe be within a decade older than Finn, I think she’s quite a but younger than Li), but as ick as all of it is, that is a legal adult, she didn’t do anything illegal there. Gross, questionable & weird? Yes, but not technically a crime. Also, maybe check yourself before you start judging, Missy. You’ve dated your adopted cousin, your step-uncle, married & had a child with your stepsister’s ex, nearly had a child with your father-in-law, your mom dated both your uncle & grandpa then married your step-uncle who was also with both you & your sister, your brother has a kid with your dad’s ex-wife (who divorced your dad for your brother, her rapist), & I’m sure more that are too numerous to mention. Have a seat, there.

Lunatic & crazy DaRemi…I’m completely down for this. Granny Sheila didn’t even know how well she set that all up, in any regard. This is the team to watch.

Finally, can no one on this show do math? As soon as Finn confirmed he was 18 when he slept with Poppy, she should’ve immediately started adding, especially when Finn said there was more. Maybe I’m just too cynical, but when a man tells his partner about sleeping with another person prior to his current relationship, logic dictates he’s either got an STD or a kid. Herpes would’ve been easier than Lunatic, though. 😏

Since Steffy always claims herself and the rest of insufferable Tridge family as being real Forresters, Rick is her uncle period.

True to form in LA, you can stalk, kidnap, and commit cyber fraud and you’re out in 30 days. 

Another what the fuck moment with Stuffy. Poppy sleeping with Finn is unforgettable but Stuffy sleeping with Bill is forgivable?  I guess an aunt out trumps a father-in-law.  Like with Hope, Stuffy just has to blame Poppy and Finn is completely innocent.  It would be my guess that Poppy is not more than 5 years older than Finn. 

The other what the fuck moment is Luna revealing herself to Remy.  What is Luna up to?  Bill is not going to have a cow 🤯. 

I guess the monkeys with a keyboard decide not to shit and get off the pot until next week. 

 

[Crashcourse]

Granted, I haven't watched much lately, but Li apologized to Poppy for thinking she slept with her husband, but does she know that Poppy slept with Finn? 

Poppy looks like a guy could snap her like a twig.  

[Artsda]

Luna coming out to see Remy in 5 seconds was just stupid. 

Steffy cares about adopted rights now?  She was claiming Hope isn't Douglas's mother.

It'll be interesting to see how Li feels about that when she finds out.  Granted, Finn wasn't a kid, and Poppy isn't his biological aunt, but that was still gross on both their parts.

I'm positive it was back when Hope got with Carter and he made some eighth-assed attempt to express that he loved her or whatever and she shut that shit down. As anyone should because Thomas or no Thomas, it was long time to be tired of his shit.

@nkotb this site is being buggy and won't let me quote, but by "adopted cousin," do you mean Marcus? Cut if so, that adoption, absurd as it was, took place years after they dated.

Still, you're right that she has no space to judge anyone just on Rick alone.

[Cool Breeze]

I actually don't think Hope is Lady MacBeth yet but, to be fair, while Carter did conceive of the LLC plan all by his lonesome, as soon as that plan was executed, it became "we".  Both Hope and Carter immediately started using the plural when talking about FC's new leadership.  With Steffy (and presumably other executives) reporting to her.  Even though Hope has no title other than being Carter's Main Squeeze.

Most likely an obvious setup for when Remy lets is slip that a pretty young girl is living with Bill.

[NinjaPenguins]

The Eyebrow is back, baby. Gotta say, he doesn’t look like a Dario, but whatever. I like Bill a bit more when he adds a little asshole to his game. Luna revealed herself rather hastily, but I see those two crazy kids going places.

Have to admit that TN is good at physical acting, in that Finn was so worked up by the end of the show that I thought the cliffhanger would be him having a medical episode. 

[smartyshorts]

I'm guessing Luna came off her "timeout step" because she somehow knows who Remy is.  I know she heard Will and Electra talk about him, but I cant figure out how she knows what he looks like.  Maybe this is a "test" for Luna and she is failing miserably. And when did Remy hear about the double murderer intern?  Did he and Electra even talk that much outside his lame stalking attempts?  But, why did he jump straight to that?

Oh Bill.....Bill, Bill, Bill.... you let some guy who was recommended by SHEILA of all people, wander around in your house...ALONE???? Didn't even take him to where the actual HVAC unit is???  And HOW does he not have a maintenance staff for this stuff?  I get that he cant have them on the premises full time, but not even on call?  He had to call Horizon Services or something to come check the Freon?

I guess this will be one of the stories that goes lightning speed while we will be waiting until St Patrick's day for Steffy's husband to tell New Casual Barbie Steffy that the cutest lil murderer in Bel Aire is his daughter.

And although show is obviously pointing to Hope being the manipulative mastermind, I don't mind that she is lobbing some truth grenades in the process.  At this point Hope needs to pack up her forgotten daughter and go back to Italy or wherever she went after she dissolved into bubbles after confronting Quinn last time. Maybe she can take a turn at terrorizing Steffy when she inevitably shows up at some "mental health spa retreat".  I'd love to see Steffy all on her own without her sycophant entourage getting berated on the daily.

 

And I just....can't even realistically deal with whatever self flagellation Brooke has going on.  Unless she is just trying to get Ridge to waffle back to her so she can burn his toast in the most publicly humiliating way possible.

 

[Chatty Cake]

I actually enjoyed Fridays episode. Shelia is okay in small doses.  The Remy actor is decent. I like him better than Will. 
I found it a bit comical that Bill was being a dick so Shelia sprung Remy on him. Enjoy! 
There’s no free lunch though. We still had to suffer through Finn spitting it out that he banged his aunt when he was 18. Stuffer is being compassionate but we know she’s going to flip shit when she finds out he fathered his cousin. At least we’ll have that next week. 
I’d much rather watch Remy and Luna over the Forrester Creations Crap or Ridge verbally abusing Brooke while he strings along Taylor. In fact if they decide to up Luna’s body count, I’d like to nominate Ridge. He’s horrible. Give Bill to Brooke. They were okay together despite the Katie tie. 

[KerleyQ]

I was waiting for Steffy to say "you slept with your aunt? I slept with my uncle! We have so much in common!"  

The only reason she's being so understanding and compassionate now is because it will make for an even bigger losing of her royal shit when she finds out about Luna. 

I can't decide if we're going to end up with a romantic Luna/Remy pairing, or if we're going to find out that he's another kid Sheila gave up at some point for some reason. But I feel pretty confident that, whatever the case, their initial storyline is going to be the two of them teaming up to split up Will and Electra. 

Poppy really needs to stop letting Li apologize all over her. It's going to make it so much worse when the truth comes out.

I think he's usually decent to pretty good when they actually give him something to do. It's the dull Steffy's Husband shit they give him day in and day out that makes him look worse than I think he actually is.
