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

[Waldo13]

Are Brooke, Hope, and Carter that stupid to make Stuffy an executive?  Of course they are. They don’t even bat an eyelash at the fact Stuffy is insisting on being President. 

We know that Z is a box of rocks. Stuffy knows FC better than anyone?  Hey Z, Brooke knows FC  maybe more than Stuffy.  Besides, Brooke doesn’t make decisions for personal reasons.  

Why is Taylor even there?  She acts like she’s hot shit when she’s just lukewarm diarrhea.  Taylor is passive aggressive where her daughter is aggressive aggressive.  

The arrogant Foresters are willing to tear down their own company to get it back.  They don’t even think that FC would be damaged beyond repair.

I'm actually rooting for them to destroy the company. The Forresters fortunes are directly tied to it, so they'd only be hurting themselves. Brooke has 0 stock in it, and only started modeling Brooke's Bedroom again because her cheating ex begged her. Her kids can just inherit from her,  but the Forresters will be screwed if FC goes under. Watching Steffy and Ridge be unemployed and having to find an actual job without nepotism, would be a hoot. Ridge can't mooch off of Brooke anymore, and Taylor doesn't have anywhere near Brooke's money to keep him in the lifestyle he's accustomed.

What a smug, self-satisfied bunch of losers sitting around the Forrester mansion, jobless, joyless and high on the redolent vapors emitted from Steffy’s backside. Ridge and Taylor and Zende acting like Steffy is some bad ass master of the game cleverly infiltrating a high stakes operation was too much. Steffy is just a garden variety bully whose family name protected her from consequences. Hey, Zende, you ever going to open your mouth about what Brooke confided to you? Please tell Steffy to go pound sand, Brooke and Carter.

I guess we’re pretending that Luna never tried to make out with Bill? Not that I mind, but I’m not exactly excited with how she’s gazing dreamily at Will and his chompers.

Those hospital scenes were weird AF. Just do a damn DNA test without all the odd dialogue and organ coolers hanging around. We can follow along.

Thanks, Waldo13, I love that line.

[KerleyQ]

That nurse went from "I admire you so much and would love to help you" to "oh, I think the doc may be a bit cray cray" in the span of one episode. 

Good Lord. Too bad Sheila or Luna didn't succeed in killing Steffy. Then the family could just get on with submitting that nomination for sainthood to the Vatican. Is there a sign at the door to Eric's house instructing all visitors that the customary greeting upon entrance is to sing Steffy's praises?  

Hey, Zende, do you have amnesia?  Ridge even brought up Brooke saying she took the CEO job for him, and you still didn't remember "oh, yeah, that's what she told me her plan was"? 

Is Bill some closet true crime documentary enthusiast, and he's enjoying having access to all the details of some real crimes right from the killer's mouth or something?  Why does he keep asking Luna to tell him about her crimes?

I was kind of caught up in a loop of JMW bad acting's reflected in Steffy's bad acting of faux contrition in order to infiltrate FC. My head hurts. 

[Cool Breeze]

So, in addition to being the face behind HFTF, Hope just has some kind of nebulous executive authority such that Steffy would report to her?  This is simply by virtue of the fact that she's with Carter?

Ok.

I liked Hope's new look today.

Wasn't her hair much shorter just last week?  Grows fast! 🤣

[nkotb]

I can’t even believe I’m going to say this, but I have to issue a compliment: I think JMW looks so much better with the shorter, softer brownish hair, & the toned-down makeup. It’s so much more flattering on her. 

I can’t believe any adult would fall for Steffy’s nonsense, let alone someone who attended law school, passed the bar, & snaked the family company from those greedy bastards right under their noses. Please tell me Carter sees through this. 
 

Steffy: “This is my family’s company, & I want to work here, in any managerial capacity that yields power that you see fit. Oh, not beside Brooke. And eyeroll that Hope for the Future is back. I’m also watching you, Carter, but I’m a total team player, so who’s getting my coffee Monday morning?”

[Waldo13]

Of course Brooke is advocating for Stuffy to come back but it’s more for her precious Ridge.  Tell me why Brooke Stuffy can’t be barred from the building?  Didn’t Stuffy bar Hope?  

 

Carter it’s no surprise you let Stuffy back but you didn’t have to make her President. You actually are letting the fox guard the hen house. 

 

 

[KnightStorm]

I've come to the conclusion that Steffy is the Bold equivalent of Poochie from the Simpsons. Everyone drones on and on about how "brilliant" she is, and the absolute unwavering confidence in her plan from Ridge and Eric was pathetic. Setting aside the fact that they admitted they didn't know what her plan was, her plan doesn't even make any sense, and would likely just make Carter even more determined to keep the company from them, if Daphne The Teenage Witch breaks up he and Hope. Aside from Brooke, none of these characters are root worthy, and Bell has to drag her down by having her still love the Ridgeanderthal.

They're all so stupidly stuck on the idea that Hope lured Carter into this plan, that they honestly can't conceive that it was his plan. So they think that if he's not with Hope, he'll magically lose his ambitions for the company. I really hope that being so hyper-focused on her Logan hate that she underestimates Carter results in Steffy's plan blowing up completely on her. 

[Crashcourse]

I hope Carter gets screwed--and not the way he wants to.

Welp, not unless he’s become a dishrag-osexual . . .

Ah, so Brooke is now the abused woman craving to go back to the man who endlessly abuses her?  Taylor is the same & she’s in bliss to stay with him.  Brooke should say — You want him, hun, good luck to ya, but I’m movin’ on.  But no, Bell shovels the same crap at us.

Bad enough for Brooke to still want him, but to use that as justification to bring Steffy back?  I don’t think I can watch this distasteful stuff or the ridiculous Luna storyline anymore.

[Artsda]

The women on this show are so pathetic. Steffy still think she did nothing wrong. 

The others think Steffy doesn't have a plan? This show needs Rick back. 

[Anna Yolei]

If any of those three stooges think Steffu is coming in any good faith, they deserve to lose control of the company.

Brooke should damn well be smarter than this but she's so far up Ridge's ass that she'll do anything to get in his good graces, including letting Bitch In a Box back in.

And Carter has proven over and over again that he'll fall for any pretty face that gives him the time of day that I won't be surprised if Steffy's stupid little plan with Daphne actually does work. Dude is always the layover to someone else's happily ever after and it's be as good an opportunity to fix Liam up with someone as he managed to spend all of 2024 completely unattached.

[CaffeineFree]

We need RED SUIT Brooke, stat!

[ScoobieDoobs]

Btw, doesn't $Bill have staff in his giganto house?  And wouldn't they be a bit curious about cooking for & cleaning up after a double murderer who should be in prison?  Oh silly me, trying to make sense outta the senseless.

[KerleyQ]

Brooke is sitting there thinking that if she's just nice enough to his bitchass daughter, her hobosexual will come home to her. Meanwhile, he's over there refusing to utter her name, asking Steffy "what about the CEO?" Brooke, please, stop worrying about that asshole. He's so not worth it. Let him be with his safety net. 

Eric being all "be careful!" acting like Steffy is going into some violent situation. Dude, the worst thing that's going to happen to her at FC is that they're going to turn her down and talk to her the same way you all talk to/about Brooke and Hope. Nobody is going to be putting the bitch back in a box, or anything else fun.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone on this show have any household staff (although you'd think some of them would). Maybe Bill has a cleaning service, and he'll just tell them to stay out of one room now. Or maybe the show never bothers to think about how the characters keep their homes clean. 

[NinjaPenguins]

Dumbasses. Carter thinking that Steffy will actually ruminate on the toxic work environment she created is hilarious. Brooke reinstating her daughter’s tormentor to impress the hateful hobo is just pathetic and sad. The way Steffy was radiating smug like a supernova should have been a huge red flag. Note to Steffy: acting like your namesake is nothing to be proud of.

Ridge really took home the gold star for biggest schmuck of the episode when he wondered that he raised the magnificent Steffy in hushed, awestruck tones. Taking credit for designing Zende’s shirts would be less embarrassing.

Not really sure we need to see Will in another obsessive psycho story this soon. Bill’s efforts to conceal Luna seem shoddy at best. His home must have entire unused wings she could be safely ensconced in.

Wouldn't the safest thing to do be to send her to a "safehouse" somewhere with a bodyguard who can fall in love with her and end up assisting her in more nefarious deeds later this year? What happens if Will decides his Mom is too much of an interfering busybody and he wants to stay with Dad?  Is Poppy just never going to check on her daughter ever again? Do they plan to fake Luna's death?  Will that FINALLY wipe the perpetual scowl off Li's face?

Anything going on over at Bath and Body Works, Forrester edition is beyond the gates dumb.  I will say I like that they've given Steffy a softer more normal human look for this ridiculous story.  Will she start showing up at Forrester in poodle skirts and penny loafers to show how "harmless" she is?  If Carter & Co wanted to lend legitimacy, should've made Steffy just a figurehead with no real power.  Have her be the "face" and show up in promotional materials and take meetings with buyers etc, but not give her any access to ANYTHING, including executive offices! And, has Forrester ever had a President before?  Why not make herself Lord High Commander if she's just going to pull titles out of her ass.

[Waldo13]

Daphne is just a French Stuffy. The are two peas in a pod because they think all men are just trying to play hide the salami with them.  Both seem to have no qualms about prostituting themselves to get what they want. For me, Stuffy and Daphne are cold and have the passion of an iceberg.  Does Daphne have a “Love Potion Number Nine” to put in Carter’s energy drink?  Does Daphne have the equivalent of the golden cooter?  

 

So Tom is not Luna’s father. Are we back to wondering if Finn or even Jack is Luna’s father?  

 

[KnightStorm]

Daphne needs to seduce Ridge, and have Taylor walk in on them and drop dead due to "broken heart syndrome". Ridge would grieve for all of 10 seconds, before proposing to Daphne over Taylor's body. Steffy would assume that Daphne just consoled her poor grieving father, and that they fell in love.

My money is on Finn

However Jack is going to claim paternity with Poppy's help because he doesn't want to 1) Ruin the "Stuffy and her Husband" Marriage" and 2) Keep Finn from freaking out that Shelia's bad genes passed to Luna and that's why she murdered 2 people and played Bitch in a Box with Stuffy.

So really the whole thing would be Finn's fault and he would blame himself. Of course Stuffy would agree.

Stuffy would then freak that Finn passed Shelia's murderous genes to Hayes just as he did to Luna, making Stuffy the victim in all this, causing her to leave Finn.

Somewhere in this mess an evil Logan, probably Hope because Deacon (her dad) is married to Shelia, would also be at fault.

Lucky Daphne. Getting to sniff Sludge. 🤢

[NinjaPenguins]

Maybe Hope should manage the LLC. Is she qualified? Hell no! But she does have the advantage of seeing Steffy for what she is and understanding that Lady Smuggles should be shown the door.

I’m not sure about the medical ethics of using a dead person’s liver as part of a show and tell to dress down your sister? Thinking maybe it’s not cool?

Bill hiding Luna in his mansion is more tiresome Three’s Company farce than soapy drama. If he spends much more time holed up there, Katie is going to come nosing around and nobody wants that.

I hope it's Finn. It would be deliciously soapy (but not as soapy as The Gates! The promos insist the new soap will be soapier than any soap out there! 🙂 ). 

Last year's brief conversation between Finn and Poppy about spending time together during his college years, then Poppy became pregnant shortly after, seemed to hint that he is Luna's father.

[CountryGirl]

I hope Finn is the daddy. Jack hasn't been seen in how long? Where's the soapiness in that? Although that would still make Finn and Luna siblings and Steffy would still be pressed about it, so that would be worst-case scenario.

But Luna being Finn's daughter? And Sheila's granddaughter??

That reveal and the crackitude on Steffy's face will be a High Holy Day for the show, up there with Red Power Suit Brooke, Bridget telling cuckold Nick about her tryst with Owen (resulting in Logan) and summing it up with her brilliant "You OWE me," Liam dumping Steffy to ugly cry on the sidewalk, Hope slapping Flo into the next century, and, of course,  Bitch In a Box. 

Speaking of owing, TPTB, you owe us this. I wouldn't even care if the boring Fauxrresters + Eric resume control of FC. 

Just give us this one bone.

I was against that idea for the sheer grossness of Finn/Poppy but considering how dull this show is and Luna is the only person this decade to shut that heaux up, I say bring it.

[Waldo13]

Brooke, you would be much better off getting a “toy” and naming it Ridge. The “toy” would be more passionate and more loyal than Ridge could ever be.  

Is it Jack that’s Luna’s father?  I’m still holding out for Finn so that bitch on wheels, Stuffy, mind will be blown 🤯. 

Is there a purpose to finding out Jack is Luna’s father?  At this point, why does it matter? 

 

[Artsda]

So Ridge invited Taylor to live in his father and Donna's house? 

Brooke has a backbone for one episode and lost it. She's back to grovelling that this isn't the end.

Finn having a new psycho sister to go with psycho mother.

[NinjaPenguins]

Poppy and Finn is extremely gross and raises any number of questions. How? Why? Li is unpleasant enough thinking Jack is the father. Imagine her current level of anger and resentment cranked up to 11 if it’s Finn. Yikes.

Look at Steffy talking the same old shit and lording it over Hope. Her parents shared a meaningful dry hump immediately after Ridge decided he was betrayed by Brooke. (Zende, buddy, don’t you have something you’d like to share with the group?) She’s the queen of the idiots to think it means anything at all, not to mention a really awful daughter to want so little for her mother.

I wish Brooke had dropped by Taylor’s to leave Ridge’s bindle and wish her luck. I don’t understand why show has Brooke rightfully tear into Ridge for his malicious comments about her daughter and then pine so pathetically for him. She needs to stop calling him and just let him soak in the beige hell he’s made for himself.

[Js Nana]

Although I'm guessing that it's Jack whose Luna's daddy, it would be worth it to watch il Principessa Stephania's head explode if it turned out to have been a teenaged Finn who did the deed - "You ploughed someone before me; how dare you, you are hereby and forthwith banned from my kingdom!"

[KerleyQ]

When Steffy and Taylor were telling Hope and Brooke how Ridge and Taylor were together for good now/Ridge was mad at Brooke for the last time, I was waiting for them to ask if they also thought it was "for good" the last time he got with Taylor when he was mad at Brooke. Taylor always thinks she's getting her happily ever after with him, and he always gets over whatever his issue is with Brooke and goes running back to her. It's laughable that they both think this time it's really, super duper going to happen.

Brooke, please, let it go. He's so not worth this. He chose to believe the worst of you. He chose to hop into bed with Taylor instead of hearing you out. He said horrific things about your daughter, the same daughter he helped you raise for years. Be done with him already. Let him succumb to the beige. 

I'm fully convinced Finn is Luna's father after today's scenes and the preview scene. Poppy's reaction when Li asked if Jack was the father, and then Jack's wondering what the hell Li is talking about in the preview scenes has me convinced that Jack isn't even a possibility. At most, I think we might get some period of time where Jack and Poppy pretend he's the father, to protect Finn, but Finn is the father. And oh will I enjoy Steffy losing her shit when she finds out Luna is her stepdaughter. 

With all this talk about Luna's parentage, I feel like Poppy is going to have a need to have a conversation with her daughter at some point in the near future. So, what happens when she shows up at the jail to visit her? 

[KnightStorm]

Ridge's bum self won't even get his own house at the age of 65. I guess he's just waiting for Eric to kick the bucket at this point, but then the house would probably go to Donna, so he still outta luck. Steffy is just so full of herself believing that mommy being daddy's rebound for the gazillionth time is going to be any different. I'm starting to think she resents mommy dearest for always popping in and out of her life at a whim, and is just trying to punish her by constantly pushing her to humiliate herself with daddy. Li is so desperate to hate Poppy over literally *anything* real or imagined, I have to wonder why Poppy hasn't blocked her number, and refuse any contact. Brooke regretting slapping Ridge is repulsive, the only thing she should regret is not breaking a lamp over his head.

[CharlizeCat]

Hey, did you guys catch that Li's sister's name is Penelope!

Brooke is so pathetic. Instead of focusing on being CEO she leaves in the middle of the work day to go spar with Taylor.

If I were to slam Brooke for not working, I'd have to drag everyone. Liam I don't think has had any defined job since the release of Pokemon Go and Finn has such a light workload that he came come home to bang Steffy on the couch every day. 🤣

As for confronting Taylor, I don't know why she even bothered. Ridge straight up calls Taylor his safety net and that didn't get her to kick him outta bed. Being that desperate for scraps is it's own punishment, especially if the show swerves and ends up pairing Daphne with Ridge. 

[KerleyQ]

I'd love if Poppy reported Li to the hospital. She accessed Tom's liver and Luna's blood test without permission. She used hospital resources (and staff) to do so and to run an unauthorized DNA test, all to fulfill her own curiosity about a personal issue. She crossed multiple ethical lines there.
