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

[Angeleyes]

In real life they would also have to consider funeral plans for Finn. No way would any of them miss that, especially Sheila. Plus, I would think Li would want Steffy’s input about the arrangements. Instead, on B&B we just get the hand wringing of the cover up and everyone moves on. 

[Gam2]

Has Steffy shown any curiosity at all as to why Sheila is hanging around her hospital room? If she has no memory of Finn, etc then she must wonder why that shebeast is even there. Oh, and no curiosity as to why her daughter has aged 2-3 years since she last saw her a few days ago? And I am so sick of people calling her that childish name, Steffy. That was cute when she was five but no longer.

[Foghorn Leghorn]

NuTay is nauseating but at least her hair is cleaner (and longer…) today!  Hope summed it up best as to why keeping Finn/Hayes a secret makes no sense.  This lying can’t go on indefinitely now can it Taylor??  

And Ridge was right!  WHY the hell is Sheila still at the hospital and even allowed in Steffy’s room at all?  To me this is a much bigger threat to setting Steffy back than wanting Liam to continue to pretend they are still married.

The contortions that need to be done are so eye-rollingly laughable.  Like I posted before, it has many shades of the Sarahnee plot from Days of Our Lives.  Please STOP the stupid!!!

You really expect a kid to not mention their new-ish sibling?!  Will Taylor or Ridge have to "hide" Hayes somewhere or maybe they'll just give him to Li and conveniently "forget" to ever get him back?

Normally no, but we have to remember we're watching B&B(somehow not by force but that's another discussion) where a 4-5 years old kid isn't going to mention their baby sibling or newly absent Step-dad because mommy & daddy are occupying the same space now and that eclipses all other experiences feelings, and memory a child has. She get's it from her mom & uncle! 🙃 

I want to throw Taylor off a building myself. From sticking up for Sheila when Brooke rightfully questions her prolonged unwanted presence to cutting her eyes at Brooke simply for making more sense than she does. I hope that it gets rubbed in her face that her world renowned ass got tricked by lunatic like Sheila who shot her and her daughter. I hope she becomes the laughing stock of the medical field. Bridget is being made to drink this Kool-Aid so she can be the "good" Logan in the narrative as she's the only one in that family not be routinely bashed by the Logan hater crew. Yet anyway.

As for the bolded, why has the show gone almost to extremes to make Hope a doormat?

I think the best way to answer that is to say that Steffy/JMW is the Caroline Benson(Carly Corinthos) of B&B. She's the insufferable garbage pail of a character that always wins, even if she's dead wrong. While the writers bend over backwards to make her imperfect but otherwise tolerable female rivals the "villains" or just someone she has to put in their place. GH fans complained for years about Carly eating up the show despite being a Hellraiser but she and the cancer pairing known as Carson gained lot of popularity & all hope was lost. She's now the heroine, over characters like Brenda or Robin. Brad Bell has essentially done the same thing with Tayloon & her brats vs. The Logans in speedrun fashion, I at least give Carly credit for being somewhat fascinating/entertaining having been played by better actresses than JMW. But she still sucks and the parallels for what GH went through with her and what B&B is turning into at the altar of Steffy are eerily similar.

Taylor's dollar store education, coupled with years of exhibiting less than professional behavior, makes any advise she gives questionable. Add in that this is about her daughter, preventing her from being impartial, and she can take her psycho babble and shove it. I noticed this new incarnation of Taylor is constantly throwing around "as a doctor", or "as a psychologist" in an effort to justify what she is saying/doing. In this case she can claim her doctoring pedigree all she wants, but this is nothing more than a way to stick it to Brooke and Hope.

Word to the whole post but especially this part. No one should even be asking for Tayloon's opinion given her unprofessional history. Even ignoring that, it's objectively unprofessional to treat family members, and she & Bridget aren't the only doctors in L.A or the world someone with more credentials and different answers should be required before anyone rushes to coddle Steffy's delusions.

I watched suffered through that too! lol But to be fair at least Sarah's mother had enough sense to have her child committed and get her some help as soon as she could instead of browbeating Tony and Anna to inconvenience themselves. Tony stupidly took it upon himself to entertain Sarahnee Dudmonde but that was the extent of stupid it went. Brad Bell has far exceeded that with this shit here and I haven't even watched today's episode yet. How fucked is it that DOOL(where the Devil is still on the loose) makes more sense than B&B right now?

If Steffy is too fragile to be told the truth then that's her problem, I thought she was supposed to be Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel, Xena Warrior Princess all rolled into one. If she's reached her limit fine, fair enough, but put her in an asylum with a therapist until she's ready to face/remember what happened. Lame is not a professional & Hope is not obligated to go along with this, neither of them are but we know Lame is an indecisive, disloyal weasel. Remember when Lame swore up & down to Hope she would always be #1 priority after he cheated on her for the millionth time? Hope should've known better than that cos the rest of us sure did.

Actually, Sarah's mom Maggie did ask Tony to "play along" by asking him to move out of the house he shared with his wife Anna, and into Maggie/Sarahnee's house.  And here's the kicker - Tony did do that! That seems awfully close to what B&B are moving towards with Liam. So if Liam moves into the beach house with Steffy and Kelly, pretending they're still married, Hayes would have to be hidden away and Kelly would have to be lobotomized so she can't mention Hayes or Finn. 

[Waldo13]

Fuck you Taylor. Your so bias that you think that you know what’s best for Stuffy. Brooke should insist that Taylor and Ridge get an unbiased opinion on Stuffy’s mental state. Taylor is only appalling because Brooke is 100% correct. It’s just like Lurch and Stuffy using Brooke’s discretion to drive Taylor and Ridge closer together. Brooke is 100% correct about letting Stuffy know she also has a little boy. As it was said before, why doesn’t Katie say anything about Hayes and Finn. Where is Douglas when you need him?  Douglas can’t keep a secret. 

As usual Ridge has to control the narrative in telling Shiela what to do. It’s a public space and Shiela can stay there if she wants to. 

I don’t know Taylor that well but has she always been a self centered ass hate. Or has she become more of an ass hate since she thinks she’s getting Ridge back. As for Hope, KM’s Hope would never put up with this 🐂💩 but since AN took over Hope is more prone to be a Raggedy Ann. 

So Ridge, douche bag piece of excrement, is telling Chief Hot Dog how to do his job. Ridge baggers her every day to remember but he’s trying to keep Chief Hot Dog from doing the same. I guess Ridge wants to be the hero in discovering the perpetrator. 

Taylor needs to STFU. Your not the boss and If it was me I would walk right in to Stuffy’s room and tell her what’s what.  What’s Taylor going to do?  Shoot you. 

Shiela is nuts but is she that stupid also?  Standing right there front and center staring Stuffy down as she trying to remember who shot her.  

[Artsda]

Did Liam tell Kelly to not mention Finn? All that my husband talk from Steffy and going home with Liam. Hope is right Kelly has to be confused this will confuse her more. 

Taylor can shut up with what she thinks as a Psychiatrist considering she's loving and defending changed and reformed Sheila.

So now, Bridget is a neurologist? She's been a cardiologist, pediatrician and fertility specialist. That girl must spend all her spare time in med school!

OMG! Can someone run down to the nearest sex store and buy me the longest, fattest dildo they have so I can shove it down Taylor's squawking throat? Who died and left you Chief Loon in Charge? I realize Brooke doesn't want to rock the boat, but she has every right to be concerned about what is happening and where it is leading. Taylor's complete disregard for Hope's position and her snarky "I'm sorry if this is too much for you" remark were not only appalling, but very telling. Considering all that Hope has had to deal with where Steffy is concerned; yeah, maybe it is too much. You are asking a woman who has been betrayed and stabbed in the back repeatedly by your precious daughter, to just suck it up and hand her husband over to her. And as recently as last year your fragile little girl found herself on the end of Liam's dick while he was married to Hope, but no one should be worrying about this. Steffy was shot; Hope spent a year thinking her child was dead. Somehow seems to even the scales to me; especially when you consider how removed Steffy was from Hope's pain, while Hope is right there at the hospital trying to help and has so far gone along with this nonsense. Brooke and Hope should tell Taylor to harness her hatred of all things Logan and do the right thing for her daughter by telling her the truth. If she refuses? Then they should do it for her and let the chips fall where they will. My one hope in all of this, is that Brooke will see that Ridge does not support her or Hope in any way. He immediately sides with Taylor at the expense of Hope's feeling of security in her marriage and her happiness in general.

Yes, yes, yes! Even before Finn came in the picture, Steffy hated Sheila. How to forget her going to Sheila's hotel room and trying to shoot her? But she just stares at Sheila like nothing is amiss.

Let’s not forget Taylor started the whole Phoebeth ball rolling. Have we seen any remorse from her? She should be kissing Hope’s feet and begging forgiveness.

[CountryGirl]

ISTG that Taylor is relishing Steffy’s memory loss, the way she had this snide little grin on her face that she thought nobody saw when Brooke, Hope, and Liam were expressing concern (and rightfully so) about continuing the farce.

Bitch, you are fooling NO ONE. Once a trifling, messy ass heifer, always a trifling, messy as heifer. And her daughter is a pea from the same pod. 

When Taylor had the utter gall to spit at Brooke, “I’m sorry, did you say it was taking a toll on your daughter these last few hours?” Immediately discounting that it hasn’t been hours but YEARS that Steffy has wreaked havoc on Hope. Ho Logan, revealing the Wall Boink video, cheating with Liam and accepting the e-ring still warm from Hope’s finger, Aspen/Gondola, the Liam Goes Wild might in Italy, Phoebethgate, and Mannequin Night (I’m sure I’m leaving out several other things but these are the highlights, more like lowlights). And that snatchy “I’m so sorry if this too much for you.” I would have laid her bony ass out!

Who died and made this laughing stock of the psychiatry field boss? 

Hope was the voice of reason, arguing this cannot go on. 

Not that Taylor let it go. 🙄

I think she is salivating over the prospect of bagging 2 for the price of one - Ridge for her and Liam for Steffy.

Well, enjoy your ill-gotten gains (such as they are) while you can because your little house of cards is not going to last.

I did appreciate the moment between Hope and Bridget, including the little bit of awkwardness in their embrace. A good nod to history and Hope’s painful, especially to Bridget, origin story. 

 

 

[CharlizeCat]

All that was missing was "I freakin' FORBID it!"

I wish that Sheila would just finish the job. Or better ... spill the beans about Finn first.

Alternatively, have Brooke or Hope break the news. And that's only because Liam doesn't have the balls to do it himself, He should have shut that ish down immediately.

And, yes, Brooke needs to pay close attention to Ridge's reaction to the situation and agreement with Tayloon. But she won't. If anything, this will make her dig her heels in even deeper to hang on to that cretin. 

Fortunately ... 

Spoiler

Spoilers for next week indicate that Steffy's going to be told the truth. 

 

 

[Black Knight]

It's hard for me to have any sympathy for Hope in this. She should have divorced Liam after the ONS. Liam will never extricate himself fully from Steffy and his behavior right now where he's willing to pretend he's still married to her is completely predictable. Yeah, Taylor shouldn't be advocating for it, but he's (allegedly) a grown man and she can't make him do anything he doesn't want to do. If Hope wants to stay married to Liam, for some unfathomable reason, she's going to have to accept that this will always be her life, because he will never change.

The ultimate problem here is Liam, not Taylor or Ridge or Steffy. If Liam were a completely devoted husband, it wouldn't matter what Taylor or Ridge or anyone else has to say. I find it so pathetic and embarrassing for Hope to be arguing with Taylor when her husband could just say no. If the only way she can keep Liam from going along with this stupid stunt is to convince other people, people she's not married to, not to push for it, she has a problem. Great guy you're married to, great marriage you have, Hope. And this isn't her first time around the block with the ToD 2.0, she took Liam back after he cheated on her with Steffy before, so, zero sympathy from me.

I know it’ll never happen but I want Hope to tell Lame (not a typo) that if he persists in putting another woman first, instead of his own damn WIFE, it’s divorce time. I don’t care that it’s an ultimatum. After all, don’t the wedding vows say something about “forsaking all others”?  If Lame doesn’t live up to his vows (yet again!!!), Hope is justified in starting divorce proceedings. 

[CharlizeCat]

Bridget could have also jumped to Hope's defense, too. I was pretty shocked that she allowed Taylor to convince her to go along with this crazy "treatment strategy."  But didn't Bridget used to hold Taylor in awe and look up to her as some type of role model? I seem to recall Bridget said it was Taylor who inspired her to pursue medicine. (And to claim multiple sub-specialties as well!)

/facepalm.  I completed forgot about miraculous "Google cure" back in the day. 

[Skarzero]

What a shitshow, I don't even know where to begin. Taylor, present events aside, your daughter hasn't been a stand up or overly decent person to Hope or Brooke, Steffy getting shot doesn't erase that. You know this but you don't care. Which fine, so then why should Hope or Brooke give a fuck about your daughter at their own expense? Especially Hope? What has caring about Steffy ever gotten her except fucked over & dragged for filth? The sad part is, they really do care about the conniving heifer. Taylor's little diatribe about how she knows Lame cares about her poor daughter made me want to throw something my remote at her. Steffy's been talking mad shit to and about them for months and this pathetic, revisionist, historian sack of human really thinks they're supposed to give a damn about her convenient inconvenient form of amnesia? Bitch please, have an infinite amount of seats.  

Also with all the talking she(and Sheila) have done about Hayes and using his existence as a justification with her being buddy buddy with Sheila isn't it interesting that he's now an afterthought to grandma Tayloon? She couldn't give a fuck that her precious namesake basically has no mother or father now because mom is off playing Disney princess with Lame and Kelly. Oh! And Steffy remembers Kelly after all, wonder if she remembers Bill could've been Kelly's dad. Also, Steffy has called Lame her husband more this week than she has anytime they've been married. Like bruh, your "husband" has a name, FFS.

Preach!!!! She's so fucking ungrateful. This smug bitch can't even utter a small thank you to her(Hope is owed a big one) for going along with it so far. Hope is only asking Tayloon for a reasonable timetable. Tayloon doesn't have one, not really because Steffy just woke up but cos she has every intention of letting this go on for months or possibly years and Hope can see the writing on the wall. There will always be a new excuse invented as to why it's not okay to tell Steffy the truth, and Hope is trying to say fuck that here and now. Bridget is technically Steffy's family too so her opinion is arguably meh and unfounded, since when is she a neurologist? Brooke don't call Tayloon a mental health "expert", her head is big enough as is. Tayloon can piss on Brooke all she wants but Brooke had her dead to rights when she said Taylor was angling this to come between the Lope marriage not that it's worth saving but still...

I agree with all of this. Most of this hinges on Lame and of course he fails to grow a pair or honor his wife....Again. I don't have much sympathy for Hope where Lame as concerned either because she really ought to know better by now and she should put her foot down and demand he tell Steffy the truth himself or she's out. I will also say why can't they all be the problem? Steffy & her parents have (especially Steffy) always had a stick up their ass about Hope well before Lame. Lame is just fickle enough to where the crap behavior they engage in has the most rewards, if he didn't exist Tridge & Steffy would still be obnoxious, smug people toward Hope & Brooke. Just for different reasons i.e. Deacon, their presence at FC, them breathing, etc. Then there's Taylor defending Sheila while still taking a piss out of Brooke over pure nonsense. That's just a Dick and an L move. If Hope were married to Bill, Wyatt, or even a woman there'd still be some version of this situation happening because Steffy has never respected boundaries where Hope is concerned. In speaking of Bill/Still, I can't imagine that if Steffy woke up calling Bill her husband Tridge would be willing to make Bill entertain that for a nanosecond. And Bill is single. Or even Wyatt and he is with the only Logan that unanimously, no one gives a shit about and actually deserves something like this lmao

Of course the rest of them are wrong, but they wouldn't be a problem if not for Liam. He is the root problem, which then lets them be a problem. He goes for the stuff they say and do because it fits in with his own desires, which is to always maintain Steffy as an option.

It's like any serial cheater. Sure, the people they cheat with are wrong for participating, but it all starts with the serial cheater. If they weren't a serial cheat there wouldn't be any issue. Hope focuses on Taylor/Steffy/Ridge because there is nothing she can do about Liam not being completely devoted to her and always having some desire for Steffy and she knows it. Since she's unwilling to divorce him she's reduced to telling other people to respect her marriage, because her own husband won't respect their marriage. That's just sad. Get a backbone and call the Whole Man Disposal Services, Hope.

I also agree with @Black Knight in that none of this foolishness from Tayloon and Shrek would be an issue if Liam had anything resembling gumption and loyalty or the ability to speak up for himself, let alone Hope. If Scott Clifton were in any other profession, the level of give-a-fucks from Bell would be r/antiwork fodder. 

I get it, it's a steady paycheck which is rare to come by in Hollywood, but I can't imagine anyone on the cast is thrilled to be getting this same nonsense year in and year out, SC least of all.

[nkotb]

I'm a bit late to the party, & probably crabby, but Steffy just irked me this week. Very recently, I had surgery; it was planned in advance, & I'm fine & recovering well, so no trauma, but definite recovery time. When I woke up from surgery, I was a bit dazed. I saw my husband, shortly after waking up, & I remember him talking, but not many details. When I finally got my bearings, I asked how the surgery went, & general recovery questions: what time was it? how long was the surgery? etc. I've been married to the same man for a decade, no divorces, no cheating, no paternity test on either kid, I really, really love this guy. Never one time, in recovery, the hospital room, or at any point after, did I paw him & say "oh, my sweet husband. I am so happy to have my sweet husband here. I will be just fine & dandy with my sweet husband by my side." All of those things are/were true, but, damn, either I'm a crappy wife, or Steffy is laying it on over thick. 

But, at the end of the day, Liam is the douche who puts himself in this situation. If Hope can't trust him, & never fully will, (not her fault, she definitely shouldn't) she should kick him out & start fresh with a new dude. Who cares? Let Steffy have him. He's a good ex-husband. Taylor trying to win Liam for an amnesiac Steffy is ludicrous. 

Also, pissed at the show for dangling the Quarter carrot. Give them to us, or ignore it, but don't show actual actors, with actual chemistry, & a legit storyline, if you're just going to focus on the TOD, parts I & II. Also, when are Deacon & Bridget going to run into each other? So much potential for great (ok, I got excited, let's say mediocre writing, but will be great in the hands of capable actors like the few that can act) stories, & we have to keep regurgitating both TODs. 

Oh, & get off my lawn, everyone but Deacon & $Bill! 🤣

The last time Deacon was on a few years ago Bridget made a brief appearance in town and they ran into each other at Eric’s house. He started apologizing to her for everything that had happened in the past and her response was basically, “Let me stop you there. That was a long time ago and we’ve all moved on. We’re never going to be friends, but I don’t hate you and we can be civil for the sake of my sister.” Show could completely forget about all of that since they seem to be rewriting history lately. I just hope they keep her around. 

[Waldo13]

That’s right Taylor, Stuffy can have long term damaging consequences but that from having you and Ridge as parents. Stuffy has been damaged goods most of her life. Besides Taylor, will not say anything to Stuffy for along  as it takes until Stuffy remembers on her own.  

Fuck you Ridge. Stop interjecting yourself in Chief Hot Dod questioning Stuffy. 

Go ahead Shiela finish what you started I dare you. Put us out of our misery.

This is the first time I've hearing this myself but I'm not surprised that TIIC have chosen to ignore this.

So is Sheila going to... disconnect the IV full of life giving...saline solution? Steffy can't talk to the cops if she has dry mouth. Lady...do you have a syringe full of poison? Let's move this along!!

Can we get Li to sweep in with righteous fury at the Forresters basically erasing her son and grandson. She could pull the "I'm a doctor" card too, and march in to let that bag of hair (Steph or her Momma...take your pick) know what is WHAT.

You know who I feel sorry for? Invisible Hayes. He is only a few months old and his little world is upside down. He hasn't seen his parents in at least a week and now who knows when his mother will even remember he exists. He is probably calling Amelia Mama. Can Li just come and take custody of this poor little guy and give him a stable life? 

Sooooo after all the hype, are we going to get to see the rolling train wreck that will be Zende proposing to Paris? 

 

[Crashcourse]

Even if Steffy can't speak, I don't understand why she can't signal for a piece of paper and a pen and write "Sheila did it."

I haven't watched in a while so is she motionless?

[CharlizeCat]

My thoughts exactly. What good is it going to do to just disconnect a bag of fluid? Maybe it could jack up Steffy's electrolytes and cause cardiac arrest? Yes. Poison would be terrific.

And if Steffy has been awake for a while, why is she still rasping? 

I would love to have Li drop by and actually school that quack on what's up. Sounds like Bridget could use a small helping as well.

I'll bet Waffle Boy doesn't have the balls to tell Steffy the truth.  Laughed when he automatically defaulted to Ridge.

Why is Quinn so doggedly hanging on to her marriage if it's basically over? Sounds like a boring, lonely, frustrating relationship with Eric. I thought she looked gorgeous today.

I don't get it either. I found their happiness to be the least earned of any couple prior to Sinn and Lord knows Quinn skated on some heinous shit but I don't know what she gets outta staying with this putz and being miserable. She has plenty of things she should beat herself up about, but Eric Forrester is not one of them. He's been a lousy husband to all his wives and will be so to Mrs Eric Forrester #6.

So is Sheila going to... disconnect the IV full of life giving...saline solution? Steffy can't talk to the cops if she has dry mouth. Lady...do you have a syringe full of poison? Let's move this along!!

 

Sheila was a nurse. She should know how to be better at killing people with all the attempts she has made in her life.

Among the many other complaints I have about this story, this this number two, second only to the resurrection of the confounded ToD. Sheila has killed many a stooge to cover her tracks, gaslighted Amber who had the exact same addiction as Steffy and has never pulled a punch. Why hold back now?

This is the first time I've hearing this myself but I'm not surprised that TIIC have chosen to ignore this.

 

At the time I remember thinking that it was such a letdown that her appearance was so short and that she came across as not wanting to talk about it and just being over any and all drama with him and her family in general. The two of them hadn’t spoken in years and it just felt like a missed opportunity for them to have a real conversation about it in retrospect. 

[nkotb]

This show….why, why, why is Sheila just allowed to lurk around Steffy’s room? She’s not immediate family, Steffy doesn’t care for her, it’s just so ridiculous. Det. Baker was doing a quasi-questioning (Ridge was there, but he’s her parent), & Sheila just slinks in. It’s ludicrous. 

Then, when he questions Sheila, she totally made herself suspect, by saying several times “Finn wasn’t supposed to be there.” How would she know that? They didn’t talk all that much. No acknowledgement, no further questions, basically “have a great day!” Ugh, I hope this wraps up soon.

[RuntheTable]

So, the Chief Lt is going to question the very, very, very, fragile Steffy and instead of her mom or her brother or maybe even her doctor, Sheila is there. Right. Makes perfect sense. 

And Chief Lt. Baker didn't come off as all that smart. He should have been suspect about Sheila being in Steffy's room during the questioning, additionally as said by @nkotb, he didn't pick up on her laments about "Finn wasn't supposed to be there?" What does that mean exactly? Where was he supposed to be? How does she know he wasn't meeting his wife for dinner? To me "wasn't supposed to be there" is entirely different than " what was he doing there." Maybe the good Chief Lt. needs to recharge his batteries with some tasty Oscar Mayer Footlongs. 

Yes, outside of Finn, Hayes is the big loser here. Not only has he lost his dad; he has lost his entire existence. But when you have a world class "doctor" doling out the advice, no one should question it, certainly not the stupid and uneducated peasants who didn't attend doctoring school. I agree with others that what this mess needs is an injection of angry, disgusted Li. I don't think she would take kindly to the idea of her son and grandson being erased. 

[Gam2]

Thank goodness the writers didn’t drag out this story for another 3 months. Now Steffy knows the truth. The only person in that hospital room who was NOT crying was Finn’s mother. Go figure. And NuTay? Please do stop picking at your fingernails. Find something else to do with your hands, girl.

[ByaNose]

After, all these years I just finally realized that KB doesn’t know how to cry. Also, she doesn’t look good when attempting to do so. Of course, she might have been able to cry earlier in her career on Y&R and early B&B but she can’t now. I think the only good cryer in the hospital room was/is Matthew Atkinson. Now, we just need to find him a girl that he doesn’t have to obsess over and make him such a whack job.

How fucking stupid are the monkeys with a keyboard?  If Shiela turns off the machine, an alarm will go off. Beside, there is nothing that would kill her if the machine was turned off.  Why is Shiela still in LA?  She might as well confess at this point.  

Can Lurch please put a sock in it. He’s a day late and a dollar short.  Arrogance runs deep in the pseudo Foresters DNA.  

 

 

[CountryGirl]

Please pass the Razzies to KA and KB for some of the worst acting I have seen. Watching Taylor gnaw her nails and try to emote and Sheila scrunch up her face to try to eke out some semblance of moisture was laughably bad. At least JMW produced some actual tears. 

Well, at least Steffy knows the truth and they didn’t drag it out. I’m glad to see that Liam didn’t waste any time getting the ball rolling once SIL Bridget indicated it would be okay to do so, Taylor’s wishes be damned. 

Speaking of Bridget, AJ looks to be following in KKL’s footsteps where dry, lank, over-processed blond hair is concerned. 

[Gam2]

Bridget’s hair is so dry and overprocessed! Surely, a hairdresser could do something with that mop on her head.

[ByaNose]

Ashley Jones hair is way too blonde and over processed. It looks like it could fall out at any moment. I guess she thinks it makes her look younger (she’s only 46) and, went overboard with the bleach. Hopefully, she’ll get it healthy. What is it with the woman of B&B and their hair. I would blame the hair department but it’s the actresses who are showing up to set in these conditions.

This comment reminded me that I wanted to say that all KB can do when she’s trying to cry is blink her eyes 3,000 a second. That actually makes me kind of dizzy.

[Sweetpea4Utoo]

Well. Thomas showing genuine emotion today was a nice change.  Very believable.  I dig it. 👍

Unfortunately,this has always been a problem going back to her earliest days on the show. If there was ever an actress who should opt for wigs, it's her. I've seen her natural during a brief clip when she was on Y&R and it looked so good.

JMW gave a better performance yesterday than she did when Finn was initially shot & killed. Either that or everyone around her (save for Matthew Atkinson) sucked that much. Now I can kinda feel bad for Steffy. For the moment. Wishful thinking, but I hope she gets really pissed at Taylor for being insistent that she not remember her own husband/son & thinking her being delusional, for an unspecified amount of time, was best. Plus being a gullible dunce when it comes to trusting Sheila. 

[Waldo13]

Does Brooke and Bridget use the same color hair dye. Their hair color is pretty much the same.  Blondes will have blonde children but it’s unusual for than to be the same color blonde.  Hope’s hair color is different though. My ex wife is blonde but one child is yellow blonde, one is balayage blonde, and one is platinum blonde. 

Wow, that world renown Dr. Taylor Hayes was wrong. Stuffy was told the truth and it wasn’t detrimental to her health. I didn’t see her flat line or even fall back into a coma. All Stuffy wanted was to see her little boy. 

 

[RuntheTable]

I'm confused; why was it ok for Steffy to see Kelly, but it is not ok for her to see Hayes? I was shocked at how quick Taylor was to shoot down Steffy's request to see her son. Could it be that she is unhappy with how easily Steffy remembered Finn and doesn't want to do anything that will pull Steffy further away from Liam? 

You would think after losing his son-in-law, and nearly losing his daughter, that Ridge would have a change in perspective, and reevaluate what is important in life. But he is simply unable to let go of his peevish, petulant, ego driven anger with Brooke. She sits there begging that lump of Crisco to come home, expressing her desire to be there for him when he is hurting, and he gets that pained expression, like he is about to pass gas. Dollars to doughnuts he is going to open his stupid mouth and say something about how he can't leave Taylor now, and how much she needs him. And about how he can't walk away from his family now because of Steffy's situation. Brooke needs to let it go and move the fuck on. 

Mr. R has been through 18 surgeries during our marriage, so I am pretty darn familiar with those pain killer machines. Those are programmed to deliver a certain amount of drugs whenever the patient pushes the button. You can't just change them, and the ones he had required a code in order to be able to reprogram them. Maybe this is one that delivers the medication automatically, but I would still think there would be controls on them so addicts couldn't indulge themselves, and to prevent possible overdoses. I have been over Sheila for a long time now. I wish her gone.

All this was too good not to quote and give a two thumbs up to specifically.

Ridge is and always will be an ass. Pretty to look at and pretty in combination with the beautiful women he's paired with but overall he has never been worth the pain and drama and angst that Taylor and Brooke have suffered because of him.  Stephanie's obsession was somewhat understandable because Mama's love their baby boys but Brooke should've bought a clue back in the day that Ridge couldn't leave her bedside fast enough after she miscarried their first child to go running back to Caroline. She should've cut bait and run but between Stephanie's goading her and Brooke still believing in 'Destiny' at that time she foraged ahead.  Now here she is 35+ years later still begging that man to be with her.

It is amazing the intensity between Brooke/Hope fans and haters and Steffy/Taylor fans and haters on Twitter with this storyline.  Of course Liam is also getting raked over the coals but you'd think Brooke and Hope shot Finn and Steffy themselves with the way people are acting about their reactions to letting Liam play to Steffy's fantasy. Brooke I agree should've stayed out of it and carried herself on home; Hope I understand giving the situation a bit of a side-eye and sounding off to Brooke when she needs to vent but publicly providing support to her step-sister (although then Hope would look two-faced).  Liam is now perpetually in a no win - in giving into his empathetic nature to play along people are calling him spineless and disrespecting Hope and their marriage but had he held up his hands and said 'Nah, homie isn't playin that' he'd have been considered being callous and hurtful to Steffy's plight and continuing his 'abusive' interactions. Look, Liam ain't no prince but I ain't upset that he tried to help Steffy however he could and as soon as Bridget gave the green light he broke the news as gently as he could (Thought SC did as good a job as he could in that scene).  Thomas should've been the one to discover Sheila in Steffy's room rather than Liam; by having it be Liam he's now another man who is gonna be on 'protect Steffy watch'.

Random idea, cast a female detective who is looking into Steffy and Finn's shooting. Thomas is trying to help/interfere to keep his secret/gets in her way but there are sparks, they're falling for each other but she knows he's keeping secrets and he's trying to protect himself and find Steffy's shooter/Finn's killer even as he suspects it's Sheila. Sheila worries Thomas is about to spill the beans and sets out to kill him when the copy busts Sheila and saves Thomas' life with him needing to prove/redeem himself to her and their romance truly begins.

I mean give us something out of this mess that's not predictable.
