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

[Waldo13]

Yes Ridge, stick your head in the sand and don’t make a comment about Hope’s demise.  Another lesson in the ineptness of the FC C-Suite. 

If Taylor is such a renowned Phycologist then why can’t Taylor afford a place of her own?  Why is she conducting business in Stuffy’s home.  A home that she bought, from Bill, after she played ride the wild stallion with him.  What’s with the supposedly strong woman, Stuffy, that needs daily affirmation that she is right.  

So Electra has a stalker.  By the way, that is a terrible picture of Electra.

Taylor is such a hypocrite. She tells Brooke that it’s inappropriate behavior for Hope to go after Finn, but it’s not inappropriate behavior for her to go after Ridge.  

RJ and Luna have been replaced by Electra and Will.  Two beautiful girls, paired with two dweebs.  

 

[KerleyQ]

I was really hoping that, when Brooke was saying "oh, yes, what was that yoga pose called again?" she'd say "I believe it was the hypocrite?"  Because Brooke shouldn't have been upset by seeing Dishrag in Ridge's lap because they were just doing a yoga pose, and she just needed to listen to what was really happening, but Dishrag's bitchass daughter gets to end Hope's career without stopping to listen to what actually happened?  And Dishrag's "I don't want Hope to be shamed." Oh, the fuck you don't. You practically orgasmed when Ridge co-signed Hope being fired and marched out of the office in front of everyone. 

Electra, just tell your family that you have an obsessive ex, and you'd rather not be made a public face of the company, for fear of attracting his attention to your whereabouts. Yes, this is a business, but this is also your family.  

You just know that the whole reason Princess SuperBitch is so on board with the jewelry line is so she can point to Ivy and say "if I was making business decisions on my personal feelings, would Ivy work here?"  

Whenever it comes out that Hope was waiting for Carter, I hope Brooke, Hope, and Carter all tell Ridge to go fuck himself if he tries to act like, "if I'd only known the truth..."

We can hope but I doubt we'll ever get that.

Andplusalso? It doesn't matter.

Even if it had been Finn Hope was waiting for, it wasn't grounds to fire Hope.

Steffy wasn't even thinking that in firing Hope and killing HFTF, she put many, many folks out of work besides Hope and Zende. But Bitch could not care less that some FC will likely struggle to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table and the holidays are coming up.

Speaking of the holidays, you're a mean bitch, Steffy Grinch.

More lyrics to come later if I'm feeling festive as we approach the season of joy and giving. Something Steffy knows nothing about.

I hope Hope and company jump ship and form their own fashion house, but barring that, I hope Carter finds some loophole to oust the Fauxersters from the top spots.

Finally, the premise that Carter is up on his high horse about Hope, is a bit faulty. Yes, Steffy and Ridge are technically his bosses but he is not just the COO, he's lead counsel for FC, so as such, it behooves him to point out when the company, including its C-Suite employees are acting illegally to you know, avoid litigation.

I was wondering why Carter hasn't explicitly pointed the potential legal issues out to them. Then I realized that that if part of his plan to get back at them involves those issues, he's not going to give them the heads up on what those legal issues are. (Which isn't really ethical and all, but this whole storyline has thrown any kind of ethical standards out the window, so...)

The problem with Steffy (ok, one of several) is that she's a "boss", not a leader.  She barks orders and speaks in brusque, clipped tones like she's some kind of badass.  But all she is is a bully.  She directs and commands but she doesn't inspire or lead or protect.  Leaders lead, and the best of them think of it as more a service position, taking care of their people, etc.  Bosses just bark.  Steffy's a "boss".

 

ETA, I thought KKL did a good job in her conversation with "Taylor' yesterday.  She was direct and not whiny.  And she wasn't afraid of shifting the tone of the conversation, like when RB chuckled at the idea of Brooke seeing her and Ridge in yabyum.  She just said quietly but directly "I didn't think it was funny."  Well done.

Brooke is the most insecure woman over a pathetic man.

Steffy fired Hope with zero cause because of her insecurity. 

Brooke may be insecure where Ridge is concerned but until she fires someone for so much as looking in her lover's direction, Steffy is going to take the prize.

It wasn't based on insecurity. Hope was after Finn for months fantasizing about him and kissing him at a family party. And walked in on her on top of Finn. Also Finn has expressed no interest in Hope romantically. Ridge has been on this merry go round of Taylor/Brooke for decades. 

[Artsda]

Brooke should let Taylor have him, drop Ridge off at Steffys. 

[Waldo13]

Stuffy thinks nothing of interfering with Brooke and Ridge but woe to anyone who interferes with  her family.  Same for Taylor. 

 

Beside replacing Luna/RJ with Electra/Will, Luna and Electra have a similar story with moving from place to place to eventually wind up in LA.  I wonder if Luna and Electra have a hazardous duty clause, in their contract, because they have to kiss these dweebs. 

 

 

As an aside:  Laneya Grace (Electra) was in a 2024 movie, 72 Hours with Pierson Fode, Thomas Forester from 2015 to 2018.

And, at least Ridge has given Brooke many reasons to be insecure. When has Finn Steffy's Husband given her even a moment to be insecure about where his heart is? 

Didn't Steffy and Ridge already have this exact same conversation about breaking up their family when she was a kid like a year ago?  

It really bugs me that nobody on this show draws the obvious parallel between Steffy firing Hope for "going after my husband," and Taylor repeatedly, with Steffy's assistance, going after Ridge. Like when Brooke reminded Taylor today that she and Ridge are in a committed relationship, it would have been the right time to say "and since you and your daughter have been up in arms thinking Hope is going after Finn Steffy's Husband, to the point of Steffy firing her, I know you're not going to be hypocrites and mess with my relationship."  

I laughed out loud when Taylor started going on about her wonderful full life. So wonderful and full that she skulked around stalking her ex in Europe and then followed him home with her Broken Heart Syndrome, then just settled in to die.

Finn may not have expressed any interest in Hope, but he certainly gave her mixed signals with his numerous temple massages.  His intentions might have been innocent, but how dim is he for not thinking that could be construed as an intimate moment?  And Hope was sloshed when she kissed him.  Not an excuse, but it is an extenuating circumstance.

This boring version of Taylor is so unbelievable as a lifelong rival for Brooke, or the object of Prince Omar's obsession..  I know she's supposed to be some beloved soap vet, but... she's pretty terrible.

THIS!!!  What was Steffy’s “extenuating circumstance” when she f@cked (not merely kissed) Hope’s husband?!  None, zero, nada.

Being friendly with someone is not a go a head to kiss them. And he is a Dr. so him giving her a head massage was that. She was the idiot that took it as something else. She was not innocent in this. She created this whole mess herself.

Secure women don't illegally fire employees for actions that have nothing to do with the workplace. Secure women, who trust their husbands, men who have given them zero reason to distrust them, know that it does not matter if a million women throw themselves at their husbands. Because a loyal, faithful husband won't give another woman a single thought. Finn has made it more than abundantly clear that he never was and never will be interested in Hope. That should have been enough for Steffy but it isn't and that's all on Steffy.

Steffy torpedoed her marriage to Liam by cheating with his father and nearly did the same for Hope and Liam's marriage and her own committed relationship to Finn by cheating with Liam. She does not have any legal or moral high ground here. Again, it's her own insecurities from her own very checkered past that are in play here. 

Steffy had zero grounds to fire Hope. She did it to punish her for ONE kiss when Hope was drunk which Hope has apologized, profusely, over and over again, to Steffy and Finn.

The lingerie incident was an accident and had nothing to do with Finn and even if it did, again, it is not grounds for firing. 

I also fail to understand how one drunken kiss is being inflated and conflated with Steffy fucking her own father-in-law or her ex-husband who was married to Hope at the time. As far as Hope fantasizing about Finn, to that I say, if temptation is a sin than Christ himself was a sinner. Thoughts are...thoughts. Actions are...actions. 

The only difference is that Hope has shown remorse for her actions. Steffy will never, ever own her shit and with her team of apologists at her side (her trifling enabling parents most of all) she never will.
