Kelly deserves equal time with Liam and shouldn't be shafted just because she's not the shiny new baby anymore. 

I'm sure Taylor would think Kelly deserves more time.  The 2nd time Taylor came back from the dead, she sure as hell expected Ridge to ditch baby RJ in favor of her teenage offspring because, you know, they were here first.

I have no doubt you are right about that. She probably kept a diary of how much time Ridge spent with then baby RJ vs her practically grown kids.

[Foghorn Leghorn]

I feel like I am watching ‘Whatever Happenened to Baby Jane’....too bad and so sorry HT couldn’t accept the less is more concept when it comes to rejuvenation of the face...I seem to recall her being a better actress but then again her past portrayal of a younger Taylor was more subdued I think, this OTT manic portrayal is just coming across as bad acting!  

[Petunia13]

Of course, Brooke is going to tell Ridge. The last time she kept a secret from him he blew a gasket and threw it in her face every chance he could!  

Watch his reaction will be praising what Taylor did and protecting her, never mind the fact she's a menace to Brooke, her daughter, and her grandchild. I hope Bill finds out Taylor's been harassing them and decides to press charges against her AND Ridge for their assaults.😂 

If that happens Steffy will have a meltdown as well. How dare anyone not sacrifice their well being for her and her narcissistic parents. 

When Brooke heard it was Taylor her squint meant business.

He doesn't care.  After all, she's never been a favorite of his.

Wayne Brady is Zoey's father.  CBS hires CBS is their natural do to. Just like Big Brother house guests being hired. The latest is Angela from BB20.  A cameo but Angela looks like she could be a CF model. 
Zoey, why would I expect her not to have daddy issues. Can you name one character, under the age of 40, that doesn't.  For Stuffy though, it's more of a mommy issue. 

Stuffy, if you wanted to keep your mother's secret, than you should of kept your mother's secret.  I don't blame Liam for telling Hope and not even Hope for telling Brooke.  It would be like not knowing your relative is a child molester.  By next week more family members will be sworn to secrecy and be committing a crime of accessory to attempted murder. 

Taylor is sorry for Hope taking things personally?  What a joke. How else is Hope to take it. 

When Quinn has a brake from reality she gets even more beautiful but when Taylor has her break from reality she just reminds me of Chucky.  

[backhometome]

I find Brooke equally annoying as Ridge/Taylor when it comes to their daughters. The three of them seem to be doing a good job of coparenting right now so why does Brooke need to go to Steffy to tell her to butt out of Liam and Hopes time with their kid. 

 

That red eyeliner Brooke is wearing is really ugly. So is the top Hope is wearing. 

[mightysparrow]

Why am I not surprised that Hauxdilox is more upset that Liam warned his wife that Taylor is a crazed killer than she is that her mother IS A CRAZED KILLER?  This is the same woman who still doesn't get why Liam couldn't stand that she slept with his father.  After all, she only did it ONCE!

I don't know why Liam is willing to stay in the same room as that lunatic.  She's a danger to the people he cares about.  Taylor has already killed once, so pretending that she's not dangerous is absolutely ridiculous.

Between her mutilated face and her horrific acting, it's difficult to even look at HT/Taylor.

Er Hope, maybe don't presume to tell the crazy lady what her own daughter wants.

Wayne Brady! But come on, "Dr. Buckingham"? Why not Dr. Windsor Castle or Dr. London Bridge? Whatever, Zoe doesn't seem to be too thrilled that he's going to be living there. Somebody's style is about to be cramped it seems.

I know Liam had good intentions but he pretty much just put a target on Hope's back if Taylor finds out she knows about the shooting. Oy.

I was so surprised when I read about this. It remains to be seen whether she can act or not but she's got a killer body like Sally. Usually they don't want the day players to outshine the regular cast.

[Gam2]

Okay, people. It’s time to stop with this “This is a secret, promise me that you won’t tell anyone” nonsense. Every day, more and more people find out that TayTay shot Bill. Now it’s time to go to the cops and spill the beans on this maniac before she does something even more horrendous like shoot Hope or Brooke or Liam. Okay, not Liam but you know what I mean. Tay is way dangerous and mentally unfit. Time to put her away for a long, long time. And Steffy? Time for you to recognize how dangerous your mother is and do what you need to do to protect everyone from her disfunction. 

[La di Diva]

During Ridge and TayTay's conversation, I got the distinct hint Cray Tay is going to try to shoot Bill again.  She's ranting all over town to everyone that It's. All. Bill's Fault. Everything. Is. All. Bill's Fault.

I think Cray Tay is going to draw down on Bill in front to S/H/L, maybe Brooke will be there.  Cray T will rant and rave and wave a gun at Bill and in general wave it at the assembled group. She might fire off a warning shot or 2 close to Bill's head. Possibly one over Brooke's head just because she's a blond Logan. It will be painfully obviously to everyone that Cray has completely lost it.

Cray will take dead aim at Bill. Steffy will try to stop her and in the struggle for the gun both Steffy and Hope will be shot. Det. Snachez shows up and Cray Tay is dragged off kicking and screaming that it's all Bill's fault and he deserves to die for what he did and he'd better watch his back because she'll be back.  Liam and Bill clue Det Sanchez in on Cray being Bill's shooter.

Hope ends up having an emergency C section and premature baby.  Drama there for Liam and the new mom.  Steffy ends up in a coma thereby allowing JMW to go on maternity leave.

Liam is sole parent to Kelly for a while and he, Hope and the 2 little girls seriously bond as a family.  Steffy finally wakes up, maybe has to go through physical therapy. Then there's the drama, possibly custody battle when Liam and Hope want to keep Kelly. Because Cray Tay might get out one day and Kelly needs to be kept away from her.

This sets up a possible recurring SL where Tay escapes from the nuthouse and returns terrorizing everyone for months until she's caught. Maybe kidnaps Kelly or Baby Lope before she's caught.  

Lots of potential in a Cray Tay character in short term SLs

[Snaporaz]

Doesn't Wayne Brady already have a job?  You know, on a game show that Perv Moonves cancelled Guiding Light to make room for?    

[Anna Yolei]

Ive been very busy between two jobs and I haven't watched this show much in the last month, but I'm happy to hear this nuHope finally has a fire lit under her ass. I wasn't here for this Bridgetized version that came last earlier this year, so I'm fine with her going off on Taylor.

Also, fuck Brooke re: Steffy and Kelly. Bitch say what now? Not only did she use her kids to get Ridge too, she tried using her viable eggs to get Nick back--after she had left him to go back to Ridge! And even if Steffy had gone back to her usual slag behavior, I agree that Kelly should not be punished for that and certainly not slagged off in favor of Hope's little Eggo Mini.

(Although old Hope was so far up her own ass that if this were written five years ago, Hope would've been at Steffy's with the same suggestion before the pee had dried on the pregnancy test. I'm glad she's matured further from her "this loss of your child is a blessing for us!" days....yikes!)

[TigerLynx]

Steffy and Hope might be trying to take the higher ground now, but eventually Brad Bell will drag them down to Brooke and Taylor's level.  I wish HTylo hadn't ruined her face.  I also wish they had kept Taylor as serene beauty, but added a twist.  If they wanted to have Taylor shoot Bill, have her be calm and collected about it.  Don't turn her into a raving loon.  Have Taylor gaslight Hope and Brooke, and have no one believe them, including Bill and Liam.  Most of these people are despicable losers anyway.  The writers could at least try to make it entertaining for the viewers.

It's funny cuz she sure didn't believe Rick and Bridget deserved Ridge's attention because they were here before Thomas. :/

Granted, Ridge was their biological brother and not the father, but the kids looked up to him as such

Mind you, Taylor flipped shit and accused Bridget of all fucking people of being in on the egg switch. I think that was truly the final nail in the coffin for any fucks to give about Taylor, cuz no one goes after Bridget, who is far more the saint Craylor believes herself to be.

There could have been a good story about Taylor going off the rails, or something similar to what they did with Stephanie and revealing the abuse she grew up with to soften the edges or otherwise explain why she hates Brooke and the Logans so much. I mean, given her father Jack was an alcoholic IIRC, that wouldn't be too much of a stretch? do we know anything about her mother's family? Maybe Taylor's mom was considered a beauty and she was a serial cheater or used her looks to wreck havoc on people's lives the way Brooke has done in the past.

But no, Brad Bell just seems determine to drag her into Adam Newman territory. Which is even worse because Adam was (at the time of The Worst Story MAB Ever Penned, Except Maybe Shictor) a still fairly disposable character  and Taylor is a character who is much beloved by the fanbase. Even if one was Team Brooke, one could admire Taylor's intelligence and the fact that she was one of the few people who occasionally held Ridge to a higher standard than most people around him. even if I haven't cared for Taylor in years, her fans deserve better than this garbage.

Sadly, I think you're right, and I wonder if the only reason they haven't already is because he doesn't want to break up the story for JMW's maternity leave.

Just let Steffy date that Xander bloke for a while. I mean, her very first boyfriend on the show was Marcus, so it's not like she has an issue with dating a black guy. Plus, if Zoe goes Single White Female on her ass, it would improve my opinion of Zoe considerably. A win-win for everyone.

[CharlizeCat]

In searching my memory, I have some vague recollection about Taylor's parents. In addition to alcoholism, Jack was addicted to gambling. While it was never explained, there were enough hints that led me to believe that Jack's gambling had some tie-in to the death of Taylor and Zack's mother.  I remember when Zack was on the show and worked as a bartender at the Bikini. He and Felicia got together and I think everybody who knew, didn't reveal to Stephanie who Zack's father and sister were.  I think Stephanie and Jack Hamilton were dating at the time and the Feck caused a lot of drama and angst. (Like what doesn't on this show?) I don't remember how/why he left the canvas.

[TigerLynx]

Brad Bell's characterizations of Taylor, Stephanie, and Brooke are so far from Bill Bell Sr.'s original concept.  However, it's not just the character traits being thrown out the window, and having them do whatever moves the plot along.  Why would Bell think someone who drives drunk and kills someone, or someone who keeps screwing her daughter's husbands would be likeable?  I guess there are die hard fans that will stick by their favorite character no matter what, but at this point, I find most of these characters despicable so I want them to lose everything.

I've detested Ridge for decades, but Ridge and Thorne's latest stunt with Bill (custody and balcony) has made me dislike Thorne.  I also find it hilarious that Taylor shooting Bill in the back was horrible (it was), but Ridge didn't really mean for Bill to go over the balcony.  No matter what, Brad Bell makes sure the women are always to blame.  He's stuck in the dark ages.

If they need another man for Katie to date besides boring ass Ridge 2.0 aka Thorne, why not bring back Zack? Hell, with all the handwaving and playing loose with ages, they could have Zack and Hope be a thing when Liam eventually decides to play house with Steffy again or God forbid knocks up Sally and Taylor can play buttinski to them.

I think I mentioned it not that long ago, either here or in one of the Y&R threads, but this dark ages crap is one of many reasons no one my age and younger is watching these remaining soap operas anymore. No one has related to shit like fighting over one man or staying in a relationship that is obviously not working for either party for the sake of children in a long ass time...certainly not in my lifetime. And younger fandom certainly has little patience for the sexist tropes that continue to persist and the double standards that women have to be blamed and punished while the men get off scot free.

Quinn nearly got put behinds bars for the Captive Cabin shit and the other shit she did to Liam--and yeah she skated, but that is still far more consequence than Ridge ever faced for pulling the same crap on two separate occasions just cuz he thought he was entitled to fuck his brothers' wives, or Thomas for the "misunderstanding" (although arguably, Caroline turning into a complete fucking nightmare who wrecked his life is a rather nice karmic payback in its own right). Brooke of course continues to0 have her past thrown up against her, and now even Taylor's halo, cheap and brassy as it was on a good day, is being thrown under the bus because...reasons?

Taylor blaming Brooke and Hope for all the problems of the world...

[backhometome]

Of course Hope went running to mommy to blab. 

[OhioSongbird]

Off and on watcher here....aren't Brooke and Taylor sisters?  For some reason I had that in the back of my mind....

[AngelKitty]

Brook and Taylor are not sisters.

[Waldo13]

Why is Taylor sitting at a work desk in Stuffy's office?  JMW is pregnant and no matter what she should be glowing. But to me she looks dark or mostly dead. 

Brooke squints at Taylor and if she could, Taylor would squint back.  You can tell when Taylor is mad though, the Botox rushes to her lips.  

[TigerLynx]

Taylor and Brooke fighting again.  Oh Yippy!  If only Stephanie's ghost would show up to join in, NOT.

[CharlizeCat]

HTy is such a horrible actress.  I absolutely can't stand it when she does that choked-up/verge of tear voice. She doesn't know how to breathe properly or modulate her voice or something because it not only sounds like nails on a chalkboard, but like she's taking her last gasps of breath before she dies. And her face is so frozen. It really does look like a plastic doll face. The one good thing I will say is that her hair (or wig) looks pretty decent. I like the caramel color much better than the harsh dark tones it used to be or that awful ashy blonde she had last time.

But ... it appears that not only is Taylor not going to go to jail anytime soon, but she's going to get a bonus:

Spoiler

According to several spoilers, Taylor meets Zoe's father at some FC party and hit it off, so maybe Wayne Brady was also brought on as a love interest for Taylor.  Gah ... I was kind of hoping for a ToD with Taylor/Sludge/Quinn but I'd prefer to see Taylor go off to prison, and OFF of my screen.

I once made the joke at TWoP in my waaaaay early days there that Brooke and Taylor would be fighting for Ridge until they go into retirement and Steph would be instigating from beyond the grave.

But this appears to be pretty one-sided these days. Brooke is living her happy(ish) life with Sludge, with children who love her and Taylor's still stuck in 1998 with not even her esteemed "career" as a doctor to console her as one of her children is dead in part because of her poor decision making. My, how the tables have turned.

That spoiler though: just...why?

What is going on with Steffy's hair? It's almost scary. She looks like Morticia Addams to me. If Morticia had accidentally ombred her hair.

OMG, Taylor alone with Kelly! Good thing Brooke showed up.

Taylor keeps saying she's getting outpatient therapy but it doesn't seem like anyone has actually verified that.

Re that spoiler about Zoe's father,

since he's a doctor maybe he'll be the one who'll figure out that Taylor's not really getting treatment or that she abandoned it at some point.

The combination of a her mutilated face and her horrific acting make it really hard to watch HT.  I often wonder why film/tv actors think it's a good idea to freeze their faces with botox.  Facial expressions are their tools of the trade.  How do they think they can convey emotion if they can't show expression?  Norma Desmond said it best'  'we had FACES then'.  And when you're as bad an actor as HT was on her BEST day, wrecking your face is a very bad idea.

The spoiler is bad news for everyone concerned, especially the viewers.

[Carlylefan]

Good heavens.  HT today had me sitting with mouth agape in horror!  Then laughing hysterically.  The abyss of her acting abilities is so very deep! 

[Ohwell]

When she was down on her knees begging Brooke not to turn her in, Taylor's top lip looked like it was wax and was going to melt down and away.  I actually felt sorry for the actress. 

We used to have red candy wax lips back in the day which I loved to eat (don't know if they still make them) and that's what her lips look like.

I couldn’t believe it when TayTay slid down to the floor, grabbed Brooke’s FEET and begged her not to tell anyone. That was such a weird thing to do. I don’t know how Brooke didn’t run out of the house at that point except that she didn’t want to leave Kelly alone with the psycho psychiatrist. I can barely look at HT’s face. It looks like it melted and then someone tried to shove it back in to place. And she’s just a horrible, terrible, awful actress. And I use the term “actress” very, very loosely.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Shooting someone in the back is a "one-time mistake"? Sure, until it happens to you, Steffy.

OMG, watching HT trying to cry with that frozen face was comical. Whatever happened to the practice of putting saline solution in the actor's eyes so they could at least look like they were actually shedding tears?

AFAIC, Brooke needs to call 911 on that psycho.

[Waldo13]

Quinn looks fabulous most of the time but today she looks extra fabulous.  Donna has a models body?  WTF?  Every CF model we've seen so far is a size 0 or size 1.  Donna is at least a size 8 with her hips, butt, and bust.  

Why in the world would Bill go to Taylor for help. Taylor was married to Ridge, why would Bill tell Taylor his inner secrets.  

Taylor begging was pitiful.  Not for the sorrow, but for the acting.

Really. What is going on with nuHope's hair? I don't know what they are going for? Are they (all of the sudden) make her look more like KM? It's so 70's looking but not in a good way. Even, the clothes she is wearing are hippie looking. Also, it's real high looking. It's such an extreme change but I'm not sure where it's all coming from. Did Brad Bell look in the monitor one day and say we need her to look more like Kim Matula. Very odd.

Here they both are the other day at Rena Sofer's 50th Birthday party.

I remember when Bill & Katie went to Taylor for marriage counseling.  I asked the same question.

[RuntheTable]

Quinn was positively undone with the goins on in Bell LA yesterday:

Talk about coming full circle; Brooke in the Analyst chair and Taylor prostrate at her feet. 

As weird as it sounds, I think getting Brooke's forgiveness will do more for Taylor than anyone else's. These two women who know each other so well, and who have caused each other so much pain and heartache, have come to the apex of their relationship. 

Brooke has simply been amazing through all of the struggles she has had these past few months. Going all the way back to having the courage to walk away from Bill, then all the stuff with Liam and Sally, then Steffy, Bill's shooting, the paternity mess with Will, Ridge and Thorne butting into Katie and Bill's business, and now Taylor. The only time she has lost her cool was at Hope's wedding. She didn't go to Bill and let him have it. She went to Bill and tried to tell him about the path he was taking by coveting his son's wife. She didn't flip out when she learned Steffy had slept with Bill. She didn't go crazy after learning Ridge had pushed Bill over the balcony, or that he had coerced a judge. She just went about trying to make things right through diplomatic means. Brooke has been amazingly composed, almost serene, and the voice of reason through months of turmoil. She has also weathered adversity in her marriage that would have been a death knell for it a few years ago. Yes indeed, something strange is afoot in Bell LA.

I have never thought about Quinn and the Victorian look, but she was totally rocking that outfit yesterday. 

Pam and Donna? I just can't with these two. This is not high school. And just like her deceased and sainted sister; Pam has absolutely no respect for other people's marriages. Even so, that dress was gorgeous, and Donna looked gorgeous in it. I wonder who Quinn will come after when she finds out? Pam, the ringleader, or Donna, the follower?

[Gam2]

Just watched the video posted by countrygirl showing Brooke and TayTay arguing. Even in 2010, HT had had a lot of plastic surgery so was barely able to move her face. And of course, she was an awful actress back then too. However, it does appear that she’s shrunk about 3-4 inches since then. I remembered her as being taller also back when she was on the show as a young woman who looked......you know, normal.

Is her acting bad because of her face, or does her frozen face help cover the bad acting?  She has to be aware, because she lowers her head and covers her face when she needs to emote.  I have to believe that this is a woman with serious issues-I know she watches herself onscreen, and obviously thinks she looks good, or she wouldn’t keep doing it.  I mean....🙇‍♀️

If someone has bone density problems or issues with their legs they may lose an inch or so as they age. I think a got shorter after I got osteopenia in college.

Although I don't trust Brad Bell any further than I can throw him...this is kinda what is supposed to start happening with older/veteran characters on a soap: there's should be less and less back-and-forth breakups at the drop of a hat. There should be less judgement and more compassion. There should be some semblance of growth from events that we the viewer have been watching for years or decades in some instances.

Putting aside the decision to choose now to keep Brooke with Ridge, what else can they do with her? Have her be paired off with Eric? Marry Bill again? Have her sleep with Kelly or New Baby Eggo's boyfriend when those two are SORASed in ten years? It'll be another round of teary-eyed "I didn't mean to hurt anybody" crap no one wants to see. But all means, TIIC should've been guiding Brooke into the matriarch role well before Flannery's retirement pushed them to change course on the show.

But man, Taylor on her knees begging Brooke for anything is the most satifying news I've read all week, and that includes seeing the fandom hellscape that is Tumblr implode in real time. ❤️

I believe that Hunter had a total hip replacement. If that is the case, depending on the severity that can subtract inches off one's height. I know when I had mine, the ball piece that went into the socket joint was just gone, so I got shorter as a result. And yes, I know that osteoporosis, etc., causes shrinking as one ages. I think Hunter was always on the petite side and that KKL was taller. Don't know. I think that yes, HTy's posture doesn't help. She seems like she's trying to visibly shrink and I don't know if it's trying to hide her face or what. Also, have those huge implants that she had for several years, had to have caused hell to her upper back, neck and shoulders. Those boulders looked painful.

I am in the minority that I want to see Brooke dump Sludge and either reunite with Bill for good or remain single. I am still holding out hope that when the ratings start to sag again that Bell will finally pull the "Kelly is Bill's bio daughter" rabbit out of the hat. This would be perfect if Brill was in place but Steffy was still single and lonely. GarBridge is boring as shit and Brooke deserves so much better than that slimy cretin. I also want to see a Quinn/Eric/Donna ToD with Quinn turning to Sludge for "advice."

This crap that they have going on right now is so f***ing boring.  I want to see less understanding and forgiveness and going for full-blown revenge and karmic payback.

Also KKL/Brooke works out a ton and has different athletic posture. That combines with maybe their shoes and HT/Taylor’s hip surgery may be why Brooke suddenly towers over crazy ass TayTay.

Our soaps were not shown on the east coast due to George HW Bush's funeral.  Did we miss much?
