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.

LMAO!

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.
