kia112 January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 For sure, Joimiaroxeu. I'm not necessarily offended on behalf of the character of Maya, it's just another example of why I have no fucks to give for Ridge as a viewer. 1 Link to comment
drivethroo January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 <quote> Wait, I'm confused. What daddy tried to screw Rick's wife? Ridge isn't Rick's dad, Eric is ... correct? <\quote> Ridge was a father figure to Rick and Bridget when he was married to Brooke. He's been an off and on stepfather to Brooke's kids. Neither Brooke nor Ridge have any concepts of boundaries, which is why it's easy for them to sleep with their kids' and parents' partners. 3 Link to comment

venusnv80 January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 I don't care if they don't respect her, but there's that fine line between not respecting someone and legitimately thinking that you are a better person than someone else. That's the vibe that Ridge is giving to me. "How dare this lesser being dare speak to me without my acknowledgement." And it wasn't so much his words but how he said it. That's also TK's crappy acting. 4 Link to comment
grisgris January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 Seriously? A competition between Brooke and Caroline? I don't recall her exact words, but didn't Brooke say something today to the effect that Bridge was over and done with and no chance of reemerging? I'm as baffled as the rest as to why revisit the Usher days. That was a L-O-N-G time ago. Steffy's face has an odd-sort of grasshopper-like shape to it. It's like she has two sets of jawbones connected by her cheekbones. That ombre-headed bitch had better respect Ivy. I was hoping that Ivy had left some item or article of clothing lying around and Steffy would see it. 4 Link to comment
Anna Yolei January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 Well, nobody died, unlike the last time the Ricktator had a gun, (Didn't Grant die?) So by B&B standards it really is no BFD. Hell, at this point PRick could tell Maya he wants to consume the burnt flesh of an employee and Maya would say "Go for it! They are yours, CEO. As long as I can have some, too!" And Brooke would shrug and blame Ridge. lol I think Grant got terminal cancer a year or two later,like every major character that got written out in the 90's that wasn't Sheila. But the thing is, shootings used to be seen as a big deal. Even as recently as Stephanie's shooting from Storm after her role in Brooke's rape came out, the writers acknowledged he needed help with the anger he'd harbored. I don't need everyone going to jail over this craziness,but I would like folks sitting with a shrink every now and again. 2 Link to comment
Anna Yolei January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 I agree with you about Ridge, but Amber did nearly kill him so I can understand why he hated her and always expressed it. I liked that he never forgave her for what she did and kept his contempt of her. Not to excuse that drive down Bashit Lane, but Ridge had been a nasty little shit towards her for years. His contempt began when she and Rick started their own line after he bailed for Spectra (I think after Massimo bought it for him) and got FC blackballed from their distributors. Then he flipped shit after she popped Tommy boy's cherry, and I can't blame him for not wanting Amber as a daughter in law. It was specifically that which led her to pull that stunt. 3 Link to comment
TobinAlbers January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 Actually Ridge did talk to Darla in very much the same way when- you guessed it- Thorne was making the same noise as Rick to be head of the company and demanding Ridge respect his authority. And while Darla was acting smug and fluffing Thorne and getting in Ridge's face a lot like Maya, Ridge really was a straight up ass for the way he talked to her - really demeaning stuff like calling her a dingbat to her face among other things. Thorne had every right to pop him one and Brooke should've been appalled at his behavior. I'd even say that he was worse with Darla not just with what he said but the fact that at that point she was married into the family and the mother of Thorne's kid. Having said that, while talking down to Maya is not something new in Ridge's wheelhouse I'm not so upset with him for dishing it out to her because A) she ain't family but an opportunist who doesn't care about the collateral damage she's inflicting on his family B) she's dishing it out so she should be prepared to take it C) as mentioned he did have a more than civil talk with her about the consequences of her bulldozing over everyone with such glee and that she'd alienate everyone to the point of having no one when the ground shifted again. He gave her more than fair warning. She's chosen to continue on this path to the point of supporting a man who fired a gun at people and turn a blind eye to suit her own needs. I totally get why Ridge is absolutely done being civil to her. 15 Link to comment

St3phForrester January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 (edited) Just finished catching up on the weeks's episodes... and I'm not really sure about what's going on. Wednesday's show with Quinn & Deacon was pretty unforgettable, but the others were pretty good. Not as good as it has been lately, but enjoyable. I definitely feel the "Brooke vs Maya is the new Stephanie vs Brooke" thing being pushed on us, but KKL has a loooong way to go before she's up to filling Susan Flannery's comfortable loafers. I'm quite happy to watch more of JY & TK & LG & JMos in the meantime. Bring on next week, I guess? Did Pam really say "Eric always knows what to do"? Girl don't make me laugh. ...and maybe getting Donna's shares? Does she still have shares in FC from the Eric divorce? Donna sold her shares to Bill, that's how he got his 12.5% that Liam said he wanted to help him take over FC. This comment makes me want to see Rick walking around pronouncing himself the Forrester patriarch. In Eric's boxers and robe. Rick in Eric's portly-sized attire would just make him look like a kid playing dress-ups. Cha cha cha? Where's a piece of flaming space debris when you need it? LOL, thanks for the laugh NinjaPenguins. And why are we going back to see Usher's stint on the show? Glad I'm not the only one confused by this. Is he on some big tour in the States? Or doing some new show on TV? Why would CBS promote something from 10ish years ago? Seems a bit weird. Happy Australia Day to St3phForrester and all of our friends Down Under! Although it's probably already the day after Australia Day as I write this. :>/ A lot of us are getting a snow day today, so it's even more reason to celebrate! Thanks Snaporaz!

I lost track around the time Taylor was involved with the day-to-day operations of FC (2011?). $Bill's 12.5% and Steffy/Thomas' 17.5% (a total of 30%) is not an overwhelming purpose built group for a corporate takeover. 1 Link to comment

It's worse than I thought it would be. Question: When Liam was talking to Bill, I thought he said "I'm married to her." That didn't make any sense, so I rewound to see if he said "I *was* married to her" but I still heard "I'm married to her." Did anyone else hear that? Or are they still married??? Confused.

Kitty Redstone January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 (edited) My memory totally sucks and I don't always pay attention, but I think Thomas got his percentage in the boinkberry story. Stephanie the Larger gave him some (or all?) of her stock in return for Thomas lying about sexing up Brooke on the deserted island. Taylor was somehow involved in this scheme as well. Steffy's share came from Ridge, but I don't remember why he gave it to her. Maybe to make up for Thomas having a nice stake in the company when she had none??

That you didn't find the witty, sexy banter between Steffy and Liam as scorching hot as infinite suns going supernova in Hell? Cause, you know, me too. What amuses me about Brooke and Eric is that they don't even suggest marriage counseling or something similar for Rick and Caroline. No, it's just stay married and everything will somehow work itself out by magic. Good plan, dipshits. 17 Link to comment
Kitty Redstone January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 OH MY GOD, Kitty Redstone, THANK YOU for nailing exactly what Steffy looks like now! She is 100% a living Bratz doll! That is really freaky. When I was searching images for Bratz dolls, it was extremely hard to narrow it down to just one doll that is most fitting for her, but I believe "Leora" on the far right is a pretty damn close match: http://equinceanera.com/quinceanera-dolls/bratz-dolls-10th-anniversary/ (...and I'm giggling because "Shira" is in the line-up, too!) In honor of the stunning likeness, I think we should hereby nickname Steffy. Suggestions? Statz? Breffy? Steffy-Bratz? Too funny! I had a difficult time picking out which Bratz she looked like, too, and agree about "Leora." Seconding the Statz nickname (though Breffy makes me giggle). 3 Link to comment

ByTor January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 I have no problem with the way Ridge spoke to Maya; as a firm believer in you reap what you sow, Maya has not handled her affairs all that well. Ridge tried to tell her early on about burning her bridges, and came right out and asked her who was going to have her back? She stuck her pretty little nose in where it didn't belong, right or wrong is irrelevant; it wasn't her place, nor the right place, for such an outburst. What Maya fails to realize is that her public humiliation of Rick is probably a bigger factor in Rick's mental state than the actual act of Caroline kissing Ridge. And the way she has flaunted herself since stalking Rick to Brooke's cabin is embarrassing. Talking down, ordering people around, telling Ridge to leave the company; no, sorry, if you want respect, then you have to give it. This. I also don't see it as Maya being talked down to because the Forresters are better than her...I see it more as Maya being the one acting as though she were above them with the smug gloating & the talking down is to remind her that she is not above them, not that she is beneath them. 8 Link to comment
kia112 January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 "Why are you talking when I'm talking" is to remind Maya that she's not above them? Okay. I don't particularly want to argue the point any longer; I'm fine with other opinions. I just see it as example 10 million of 7,000+ episodes worth of Ridge being an entitled asshole.

Couldn't have kept her with Thorne for a few years or even get with Nick in earnest before pairing him with Bridget. >:( To quote Doctor McCoy, "it's dead, Jim." *I will maintain that casting WD as Storm was such an epic waste.

KerleyQ January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 With the whole talking down to Maya thing, I think part of it is just people sensing what her weak spot would be and targeting it, because, well, they want to shoot her down. This is a woman who has a less than subtle desire to be part of the Forrester clan and not be just "the help." Even being with Carter, a lawyer, wasn't enough, because Carter is also, in her eyes, "the help." So nothing is going to get her goat more than acting like she's less than. Whether it's Caroline calling her Myrna or Ridge dismissing her like a child. I mean, if Hope had tried dismissively calling Steffy "Stacy" or something, it wouldn't have worked. Steffy would have seen through and laughed at that shit (while sticking her tongue down Liam's throat). Maya has had a hand in imploding a whole lot of lives here, to varying degrees, and people want to shoot her down, so they go for her weakness. 10 Link to comment

I thought it was due to Ridge's animosity with the Spectra knock-offs of FC designs, and Darla being Sally Spectra's ever-loyal assistant; guilt by association, perhaps, but there was no love lost between any of the parties. When Darla married Thorne the animosity grew worse; she defended him against Ridge and Brooke, while many were convinced at FC that Darla's loyalties were exclusively for Sally Spectra, and she was a corporate spy. Darla was not the sharpest knife in the drawer, self-effacing and easily threatened, making her a convenient target for Ridge's cheap shots. Edited January 31, 2015 by Cupid Stunt 6 Link to comment

Certainly the names given to Ridge, Eric and other males on this show should be worse than they are (in real life too). However, for me at least, I think it's more about the circumstances surrounding Brooke's sexual history rather than the number. Brooke had an affair with Bridget's husband and had a baby. Brooke slept with Bridget's other husband Nick too. She slept with her daughter Hope's boyfriend (yes yes I know that was mistaken identity ... hahahahahaha ... Brooke couldn't tell the difference between 20 something Oliver and 60 something Ridge. Hilarious). She also slept with Nick roughly 5 minutes after she thought Ridge died in the foundry. I mean really? Ridge waffled between Brooke and Taylor for years, no doubt but he genuinely loved both women. I'm not saying he hasn't done some crap stuff, just saying Brooke standing there and insisting Ridge owes her for the years of turmoil? Ummm what? Brooke needs to straight up shut up on that stuff. She is the reason her life was turmoil. And if she didn't live for the turmoil she could have stopped chasing Ridge around years and years ago. I don't get where Brooke is coming from in the preview, saying she could have Ridge back with a snap of her fingers. Didn't she already try that when she tried to get him back from Katie? I think she's finally getting to the point where she's overestimating her sexual power. Brooke is ridiculous and always has been. I hate when she starts this 'I could have Ridge back with a snap of my fingers' bit. If that were true, then why did Ridge spend years married to Taylor? Why did Ridge stay with Katie? I'm shocked KKL can even say lines like these with a straight face anymore. When she was reading the script she probably rolled her eyes so hard they almost popped out of her head. Even apart from their toxic history, KKL has no chemistry with this new Ridge Agree with this. I think the very first kiss he gave her when Ridge returned was pretty good, but since then? They just have no connection or chemistry at all. 14 Link to comment

At least in the 80's, the kids would call their parents on it every so often, but nowadays, a twenty year old has her mother sitting in on therapy sessions with her.

I mean really? This, exactly. Looking back on the history before the 2000s, nearly all the relationships she got accused of busting up were already teetering on the brink if not ended anyway: Eric was divorcing Stephanie for something entirely unrelated to Brooke, Caroline and Ridge had their trust issues, and IIRC, Thorne and Macy had been split up over another woman for months before Brooke entered the picture. But then Breacon happened, and the stupidity took off in earnest. The Posse boink, while a comedic goldmine, was one of the most stupidly insulting SLs for exactly the reason you mentioned. Ridge is supposedly some amazing stud in bed and Oliver was an overly eager young man who was stupid enough to think his virgin girlfriend wanted to be deflowered up against a wall. How the actual everloving fuck could Brooke NOT know? TLDR; The biggest problem in Brooke Logan's life is Brooke Logan. I didn't see Ridge addressing Maya any differently than the way he talks to other people he's "perturbed" with. However, neither Ronnnnn Moss nor TK can bring on the condescension like $Bill.

It also captures in a nutshell every reason why I've never gotten entirely on the Brill bandwagon. Apart from the Katie issue, was it necessary to have her screw every man on the show that wasn't Rick? 3 Link to comment
Anna Yolei February 1, 2015 Share February 1, 2015 I'd forgotten about ....it may bring insight as to why Brooke is so casual about Rick's shooting, lol. 4 Link to comment
Petunia13 February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 (edited) Yes, I think that's exactly what it is. She acts like she is entitled to speak down to whoever she damn well pleases, and she does try to shut other people down when they are speaking, so I think she deserves every bit of that kind of talk, whether Ridge is a hypocrite or not. Thank you. I don't see why Ridge would have anything but disdain for this woman. She threatened to have him fired not to long ago and rather smugly with no authority. . . he's a person who made millions for Forrester for decades, its his dad's company, and she's new to it and his insubordinate. And she's threatening to get him thrown out on his ass? Get the fuck outta here. Just because she's posed for pictures and Rick's current vagina supplier doesn't give her the right to threaten others livelihoods and be smug to everyone. And if she does that expect people to be bitchy to her in reaction. Especially if everyone in LA knows that's how they roll. Edited February 2, 2015 by Petunia13 12 Link to comment
tessaray February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 (edited) Finally got caught up with last weeks shows. What a difference a week makes. (And not for the better.) I was curious how Brooke would respond to the situation but this has just been bizarre. None of it makes any sense. Edited February 2, 2015 by tessaray 2 Link to comment
grisgris February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 I think it's kinda funny watching Maya yapping like Rick's attack dog. He looks all the more the wuss when he stands there with that smirk on his face and watches her do his dirty work. I can't wait to see Steffy get her hands on Maya. As long as she moves along and stays out of Livy's relationship. 4 Link to comment

As long as she moves along and stays out of Livy's relationship. I'm the exact opposite. I don't think the word emasculate should exist (unless there's a female counterpart) and I see nothing wrong with a women standing up and defending her lover. If a guy can do it for a girl then a girl should be able to do it for a guy. I don't believe in words like pussy or wuss (I don't believe in the word pussy as a negative period) as it pertains to situations like this as that leans into the antiquated idea of machismo and all that man's man crap that I absolutely abhor. I also seem to counter you entirely on Liam/Ivy because I want Steffy to get all in those guts. I think it serves Ivy right because she spends too much time yapping about other people's business while hers is wandering out the door kissing girls and making plans with exes. I shipped Ivy/Liam quite hard in the beginning but once she started in on Maya (instead of Rick) and started making a pattern (first Wyatt/Hope then Maya/Rick) of being a buttinski and a gossip I kind of cooled on their romance. I find it hard for me to ship relationships when I don't like the character. I used to be able to do it with Sarah Brown's Carly but haven't been able to since.

Anna Yolei February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 (edited) Regarding the probable Steffy/Liam/Ivy ToD 3.0, I don't find Ivy being a gossip reason enough for me to want to root for Steffy to pull her bullshit....again. Steffy is a horrid brat that's nearly as entitled as Hope IMO and I've never bought into their romance as anything but a placeholder for Liam until Hope gave him the okay to enter her Golden Cooter and/or she was the most peaceful easiest-to-deal-with option that day. Ivy does need some story that isn't about jumping into matters that don't concern her and to actually do some work (that goes for everyone, actually), but Steffy is free to go back out the door. .....ooooooor, maybe she can use her manipulation for a better use and fuck with Rick's head the way he fucked with hers back in the day to bust up him and Maya. That might almost be worth her continued presence on this show. Not a Steffy fan, in case you couldn't tell. :p Edited February 2, 2015 by Anna Yolei 15 Link to comment
jenrising February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 Well, Ivy should be the perfect woman for Liam because so far she's got the worst of Steffy and Hope's character traits. To me she's been nothing but a self-righteous busybody railing against things she doesn't know anything about and that are none of her business. But you guys, Steffy's so F-U-N! Who can resist. Ugh. Mostly I want her to make Ivy miserable and then take her spackled face back to Paris forever. 4 Link to comment
thewhiteowl February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 I'm not fond of Steffy but if Bill and Liam point her like a rocket launcher at Maya and/or PRick, I'll be tickled. 7 Link to comment
kia112 February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 I need Brooke to stop talking about who she can get back with a snap of her finger. Didn't she say the same thing to Taylor regarding Eric when she was trying to find a baby daddy for Bill spawn? Didn't quite work out then, either. 9 Link to comment
Artsda February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 Brooke's so full of herself. Who were these countless women? Taylor really did replace her and Ridge chose her many times. And Katie? Katie dumped him, over his feelings for Caroline. 9 Link to comment

Bill should first turn the rocket launcher on himself. He's a grade-A douche with no leg to stand on when it comes to bad, homicidal or toddler-like behaviour. 3 Link to comment

He's not usually stupid. 2 Link to comment
