It is Christmas in casa Forrester and I enjoyed the holiday episode with Stephanie being gracious to Sally... very funny too! Sally arrived decked out in a Santa outfit in a good mood all of a sudden... huh? For one, how can someone go from being in a state of despair to happy as can be? And where did she get the suit at the last minute?  I guess the suit was just hanging around in the closet. I mean, who doesn't have one?
But... how tacky that none of the other children/grandchildren were there? No Bridget, No Rick, No Thomas, Phoebe or Steffi... hmmm... Of course no Felicia nor Kristen with Tony and Zende either as far as that goes. Brooke explained that "the kids" were out caroling with Rick. Baby Hope is out caroling with Uncle Rick? Yeah, right!! Nice to see Thorne there with Darla though!
Okay okay... aside this episode, this week everyone seems to want to chime in against Ridge raising this child as his own. I do admit that Ridge serving the 'adoption' papers to Nick as if he's adopting a cat or dog, not taking his feelings as new daddy to be are completely lacking consideration for his brother. I am not saying that Brooke should leave Ridge, but they ought to have joint custody at the very least.  After all, Brooke did not and is not raising her other children with their daddy, so, what's the big deal here? Hmmm.... it does seem like Jackie is not very different from Stephanie as far as that goes, although it is beyond me why she likes Brooke so much... surely if Brooke would go after Mass and other family members of hers, she would change her mind in a New York Minute!

And now.. ladies and gents, is the rhyme I found on the 'letter rip' section of the B&B CBS website... too funny not to repost! Whoever wrote it, I love you!

12 days of B and B Christmas
On the first day of Christmas, it was plain to see,
that Nick is the baby's daddeeee.

On the second day of Christmas, it was plain to see,
Ridge was in turmoil, and that Nick is the baby's daddeeee.

On the third day of Christmas, it was plain to see,
Steph very happy, Ridge getting snotty and that Nick is the baby's daddeeee.

On the fourth day of Christmas, it was plain to see,
Mass in denial, Steph very happy, Ridge wanting retests and that Nick is the baby's daddeeee.

On the fifth day of Christmas, it was plain to see,
Brooke... whining morrreeeee...Mass all hot and mad, Steph dancing gleely, Ridge a pouting fool, and that Nick is the baby's Daddddeeee.

On the Sixth day of Christmas, it was plain to see,
Darla in hard labor, Brooke crying moooorrrreee... Mass busting a seam, Steph throwing parties, Ridge was in turmoil, and that Nick is the baby's daddddeeee.

On the Seventh day of Christmas, it was plain to see,
Thorne's now a daddy, Darla had a girlie, Brooke passing oooouuuutttt... Mass pulling his hair, Steph throwing parties, Ridge was peeing pants, and that Nick is the baby's daddddyyyy.

On the Eighth day of Christmas, it was plain to see,
Eric in a drunk daze, Thorne's changing diapers, Darla the new Taylor, Brooke's crying FOOOUUULLLLLL... Mass is offering bribes, Steph is threatening him, Ridge is still a putz, and that Nick wants his little babyyyyyy.

On the Ninth day of Christmas, it was plain to see,
RICK now on Oprah, Eric getting horny, Thorne's covered in spit up, Darla's in high cotton, BROOKE's screaming "NOOOOOOOOOO"... Mass is breaking down, Steph is coddling him, Ridge has spotted Sam, and that Nick is demanding Babbbbeeeeee.

On the Tenth day of Christmas, it was plain to see,
Amber's got blue hair now, Rick needs a binky, Eric's leering Darla, Thorne's crying UNCLE, Darla's getting worried, BROOKE's saying "BYEEEEEE"... Mass has hired hitmen, Steph is taunting Brooke, Ridge is fondling Sam, and that Nick will get cussstooooodeeeeeeee.

On the Eleventh day of Christmas, it was plain to see,
Deacon needs Viagra, Amber can't stand Bridget, Rick has on Pullups, Eric's molested Darla, Thorne caught him quickly, Darla's filing charges, BROOKE's breaking DOOOWWWNNNNN... Mass wants doctor dead, Steph has finally won, Ridge is boinking Sam, and now Nick is the show's new star, seeeeeee.

On the Twelth day of Christmas, it was plain to see,
Deacon never feels it, Bridget beats up Amber, Rick regressed to childhood, Eric is arrested, Thorne's the one that did it, Darla's finally front burner, Brooke's Finding GOOOODDDDDDDD... Mass thinks she's a tramp, Steph yells "LIAR"... Ridge still thinks HE's God, and now everybody is a fammmiiiLLLLEEEEEEEEEE.

A lot of people's reactions about the paternity results were either completely off or right on the money, no in-between at all. Early in the week Eric is pestering Stephanie into giving Brooke a baby shower... huh? She's barely pregnant for crying out loud! Besides, why doesn't Eric care more about the only real and true grandchild that Darla is expecting right now? Brooke must have some spell on men, they all fall for her for some unknown reason and forgive her anything and everything. Thankfully Stephanie is here to talk sense into them, even though they never listen to her.
Ridge and Brooke once again showed how selfish people they are... they just 'assumed' that Nick would give up his parental rights without any fuss? Would Ridge or Brooke give up any of their children for someone else's happiness?! I doubt it! He hasn't even adopted Hope! How ridiculous is that? Kudos to Nick for standing up for himself!! Bravo! Surely Stephanie will help him in his endeavor (Jackie surely will too!). I, for one, expect this kind of selfishness from Brooke, but Ridge lately, well, since Taylor died, has changed for the worse. For one, I can't believe he would forgive her this quickly, and for two, to just accept and wanting to raise this child as his, knowing his brother is in the pictures is awful. Until his character decides that he deserves better, there is no hope for him, no real happiness and no peace in his future. Just drama and more drama. When will the writers give Ridge the backbone he once had? I would love to see Ridge returned to being the self-respecting, charismatic, loyal (like NOT betraying friends who helped you in YOUR time of need, i.e. Sally), confident man that Taylor loved.
Bridget sure kept her still broken heart from everyone's view until recently. She is still this upset over Deacon's betrayal? Why isn't Bridget still upset at her mother too then? Something's amiss for sure. I am glad she's (hopefully) going to marry Oz though, they sure make a cute couple. Deacon has changed, but he needs to move forward and not look back for his own sake.

Awwww... and who wouldn't like to have someone that looks as cute as OZ propose to them? Bridget is sure a lucky girl. While at first I thought it was great that she was getting back together with Deacon, now I really want to see her marry Oz... what a cute couple! I do feel sorry for Deacon, but only for one reason... I do not understand how the Forresters could forgive Brooke over and over again and then Deacon is being painted as a monster. We should all remember that Brooke had consensual sex with Deacon and she betrayed her daughter, so why is it the everyone can get past what she did? How can Ridge so easily forgive all her past and love her like she is this angel with no sins? Give me a break. I truly hope this baby's is Nick's!!! I would love to shake up Brooke and Ridge simply because Ridge is totally blind when it comes to her. Either that, or give Nick a real storyline of his own! I am so sick of him being this lost puppy after Brooke! Nick is a strong character, make him strong again writers!
Sally is an absolute hoot!!! I LOVE HER! I know that Brooke's fans are up in arms wondering why Sally is so mad at her... Brooke's fans have very short memory spans, that's for sure, blinded by the beautiful Mrs KKL. It is Brooke that, along with Ridge, stole Sally's company and Sally's future with it. It is Brooke who went after Macy's husband.. yes, it takes two to tango, but Brooke did do an amazing seduction scene. While it's true that Brooke is not responsible for Macy's death, at the same time, Brooke is the main character of the show, hence if anyone is going to hate anyone.. it's going to hate Brooke.
On another note, I would love for the writers to give Thorne and Darla a fairy tale wedding and a wonderful storyline about the birth of their child. Those two are so cute! Why can't the writers lay low of Ridge and Brooke for a while? There are other people on the show besides those two.

I honestly felt sorry for Deacon this week. He's tried to change his life, he was doing so well married to Macy and all... and now this. I must say though that I find it strange that he went from the blonde do to being his old self with the beard/gotee thing and dark hair again. Hmmm... I like the fact that Bridget sees how different of a man he is now and is falling in love with him all over again. Bridget is such a nice person, and sees good where it is. If these two do get together, I would love for Deacon to go for custody of Hope as well. Can you see Bridget raising her 'nephew' and her 'sister', both children of her husband? How strange, but it would be so right. I would love it.
I do like Bridget with Ozzie, but after seeing Ozzie now for a while, I do believe Ozzie is more Amber material. We'll see. 
Sally, as usual, is a riot. I absolutely LOVE this character! I love seeing her stirring the pot, eavesdropping, skulking through offices, doing the Mexican hat dance, barging in and out of people's lives and being the hoot that she is! If she messes up Brooke's paternity to show that Nick is the father no matter what I think I will go pray to her shrine!! LOL. I would like to see Ridge deal with the fact that the baby is not his and see if he can keep forgiving Brooke for everything under the sun.. I mean.. it's so unrealistic, especially for a man.
Eric is becoming really strange lately, very mean spirited. I am not sure I like it. I hope he does at least some time in jail to gain some humility!!

Did Brooke REALLY believe that Stephanie would have condoned her behavior? What did she say? "I was barely there"... Phleease. Grieving or not, she's a big girl, and she knew exactly what she was doing. Stephanie has a real head on her shoulders, unlike Ridge, who is completely blinded by Brooke. I applaud the writers for keeping Stephanie true to her character. Thank you. Speaking of Ridge, It's not fair for Ridge to turn against his brother yet embrace his wife for doing the same thing! What is up with that? He is embracing the 'poor Brooke, she was taken advantage of', and turns against his entire family for her. Ugh. I am glad he's not my brother!
As far as Eric goes... blah. If he can't get passed the fact that Deacon hurt his daughter, then he shouldn't have accepted Deacon's vote to make him CEO again. Why was it OK then, but now he hates him? First of all, Deacon didn't have to vote in Eric's favor. If Eric is going to be mad at Deacon for Bridget's heart being crushed, then why isn't he upset with her mother. If there were ever any betrayal, it would be Brooke on Bridget more so than Deacon on Bridget. A mother's betrayal is more real than your husband's. Deacon had an opportunity to do right by Eric and he did. Now Eric has an opportunity to do right by Deacon and he he stabs in him the back. 
Finally, Thorne and Darla are a breath of fresh air... I want to see MORE!!!!

How convenient for Brooke that Ridge now thinks that Nick took 'advantage' of her? Huh? I swear... this woman will get away with everything. When Macy found out that a drunken Thorne slept with Darla and got her pregnant... she left him. When Eric found out that Ridge was not his son... he left Stephanie. Now I am wondering how Ridge will react and if he will leave Brooke when he finds out that the baby she's carrying is Nick's... and we all know it is. Will he forgive her this time? I am hoping against hope that he won't, so that Brooke can be with Nick and Ridge can be with someone better... like Sam. I guess it's a wait and see kinda thing...
Eric was shameless this week... he tricks the man (Deacon) who helped him get his company back? I guess like father like son.. Sally helped Ridge when he was at war with Brooke and now he is using the help he got from Sally against her and he gives it all to Brooke. Do these people have hearts at all? Some sort of gratitude for people that helped them? I suppose not. What a shame... really!
I like the chemistry between Bridget and Deacon... Bridget is a very forgiving person and since she forgave her mother for the affair, she should forgive Deacon too... which makes me think.. how come EVERYONE, has forgiven Brooke for her affair with her son-in-law (including Eric!) but nobody wants to forgive Deacon? Another example of Brooke getting away with everything, while others have to pay the price for their deeds. Sure, Brooke can pull off the waterworks... she is always crying, but that does not mean that things are THAT bad for her in the end.

Good old Sally! I can't help but love the lady for all she does, doesn't do and her flamboyance! She truly is the comic relief of the show... and she hates Brooke to boot! Yes! I know, I know... some fans ask why she should be mad at Brooke for stealing her company when it was Ridge's idea... well, Brooke could have said NO, let's start our OWN company, instead Ms. Logan wanted the easy way into a new company. Lazy broad!
At any rate, even though I knew that Sally was not going to get her company back with her threats, it was fun to see her try ;-)
I was really intrigued about Eric and his newfound hate for Deacon... huh? Deacon is no more guilty of the affair he had with Brooke than Brooke was, yet, everybody seems to have forgiven Brooke (as usual, getting away with everything) while Deacon, who helped Eric get his company back, is STILL mad at him and now wants to screw him over? Give me a break. Sometimes these characters have poor memory or can't keep things straight. I realize that Eric wants the 2% from Deacon, but to screw over a child like this it's pretty darn lame. All my respect for Eric is completely GONE now. Blah.
Bridget's new found interest in Deacon is very interesting, and not out of character at all... after all she forgave her mother for the same deed that Deacon did, and she sees that Deacon has changed so she's seeing him in a new light. Speaking of Deacon.. has everyone noticed that the blonde in his hair is gone and the scruff look is back? Hmmm... speaking of facial hair... Nick needs to get rid of that gotee! It looks awful!!! Blah!

I am getting fed up with all the drama in Brooke's life. She can never do things right for herself, always messing things up. Taylor and Caroline are dead, yet, she's still messing up and I hope that Ridge will see her for who she really is once and for all and dump her. Like Macy dumped Thorne for the basically the SAME reason... Ridge truly belongs with someone like Samantha. I really love her and she has class... like Taylor did. Let Nick handle Brooke and their baby (and we all know it is his baby!). On that token, I cannot wait for Stephanie to find this out about Brooke... I believe the truce will be over at that moment.. because it would show that Brooke hurt Ridge.
I truly feel for both Sally and Deacon. Their sadness as characters really touched my heart. Both have put up with a lot of scandal and sadness in their lives and always have paid the price for it. Sally deserves to get her company back! It's bad enough that she has lost Macy twice now and then she lost her company too! Deacon needs some happiness too. He has changed and really deserves someone who will be good to him. Could that be Bridget again? Hmmm... On another token, if Sally does not get the company back, I truly hope that she and Deacon make a statement with the new power fashion house they are going to build.. the thing that Brooke and Ridge SHOULD have done in the first place but were too lazy to do!
The wedding was truly beautiful, and I loved Sally's appearance. She can always make a splash. 
Ozzy does not seem to be trying to keep Amber at arms' length, so in my opinion, it's only a matter of time until those two are an item. Ozzy may be too good for Amber though! LOL.
Where is Thorne? When is the baby due? It seems like Darla's been pregnant forever! I know the actress in real life is due in December, so perhaps they will try to make it coincide.. who knows...and.. where the heck is CJ? Wouldn't some scenes with him and Ozzy or at the hospital, with Macy and all been perfect? Oh well.

Well well well... because of the fires the CBS station here did not show B&B for Mon-Tue-Wed, so I had to read the recap at the Smartypants website. At any rate... I am beginning to like Jackie... because she is starting to realize what poison Brooke really is. Brooke ruins everyone's lives, that is for sure, now Jackie is realizing she is about to ruin hers. Glad to see her waking up to the truth. And... what's up with Spectra's employees? I am sick to my stomach. Here we have a group of people who have loyally worked for Sally for many, many years. According to Clarke they have been one big happy family working together side by side to build Spectra fashions. Then here comes the new smug CEO, Brooke. She delivers a few self-congratulatory remarks to the assembled workforce and Presto, they are instantly won over, smiling and applauding their new boss. Did I miss something? And why are Brooke and Ridge so pleased with themselves? It's not as if they built this company together - all he did was buy it with Daddy's money. All she did was marry the owner. These two have nothing to be proud of. Hardly an impressive power couple. Just a duo of rich, self-indulgent, ego driven brats! 
This new pregnancy of Brooke I hope does not go as expected. I either would like the baby to be Nick's OR for Brooke to lose the baby in a miscarriage, stillbirth, or have a child with some form of disability. After all, Brooke is in her 40s, when eggs are old, things happen. It would only make sense. 
I was pleased with the Darla/Thorne storyline! I hope to see more! I am also eager to see Sally fight for Spectra. And.. what happened to Macy then? Did she die? They never really did explain, did they? Since it was a death off-camera, then we might get a chance to see Macy again in the future. That is why I was so upset when they had the open-casket funeral for Taylor, even the most brilliant writer couldn't bring Taylor back from the dead at this point. Sigh. I miss the Taylor/Ridge couple. Ridge is so weird now with Brooke. Taylor hasn't even been dead one year and he's already moved on big time. You never hear him mention Taylor at all.. like she never existed. Whatever trauma happens to him because of this baby (and I hope there will me some trauma) he will only deserve it....
BTW, I really like Samantha's dog! Nice touch!

I think Ozz is adorable, and to do what he did with his bar in spite of him being broke now is truly admirable. Kudos! I am not sure if I would like him with Bridget, but she really needs a good guy, and he certainly fits the bill. He's too good for Amber, that's for sure! Speaking of Amber.. it's nice to see her finally acting like herself. It always seemed like she was trying to be someone else to impress the family--she's always been a little wild and crazy. I never really liked her character, very selfish, but at least now she is who she was supposed to be to begin with. Also.. what happened to Rick? It's like.. he disappeared from the face of the earth.
It was very nice of Stephanie to welcome Brooke into her family.. but, for how long? Not very long for sure-Brooke has a way of hurting people and it's only a matter of time until she will hurt Ridge. Which makes me think.. Is Brooke that sex-crazy that she can't keep her hands to herself even in her grief?! Give me a break. Sex would be the LAST thing on my mind if I thought my husband was dead. Especially the first few days! Guaranteed now she will get pregnant by Nick. How can she get pregnant 'by accident' twice in a row? Granted, her and Ridge were going to start a family, but he had JUST told her that he wanted to have a baby with her, and as we know, after going off birth control (if she was even on birth control) it takes a while to ovulate again... weeks, not days. Whatever.  Isn't Brooke in her early 40s now anyway? I better hope they give Brooke a REAL storyline... older moms have children with down syndrome, or miscarry and have stillborns more often, so I hope the writers give Brooke one hard pregnancy with one hard outcome. She does not deserve yet another healthy pregnancy/baby. Brooke deserves no happiness because all she does is cause everybody else pain. When you live like you are the only person who counts, you pay the price in the end.
I enjoyed the few scenes with Darla and Thorne very much! I hope there will be more coming!

The waterworks on Brooke this week were so awful that on one day instead of watching the show live I taped it so I could fast forward them and not be forced to watch them! Pathetic? You bet. I have had an unimaginable loss myself, and the way Brooke reacted was absolutely pathetic. I have no sympathy whatsoever, and wish Nick hadn't saved her from the fire! Darn. Funny too... Thorne did not get away with sleeping with Darla, Macy did not forgive him, but surely Brooke WILL get away with sleeping with Nick, Ridge will surely forgive her, and something tells me she'll probably end up pregnant too! But Brooke will get away with it, because she gets away with everything. Mark my words.
This Amber/Bridget storyline is annoying as well. Ugh. Thankfully Oscar is eye candy, so at least that! LOL. I still don't get why Amber does not want Bridget with Oscar... or is it because she wants Oscar for herself? Probably so.
Clarke dumbfounded me this week. He's all excited about Logan designs? Where is his loyalty for Sally? On the bottom of his foot for sure. What a jerk. 
I heard that they are really going to kill off Macy, and I am upset about it... I really liked Macy and I thought she had a good storyline going. But the writers are too busy trying to come up with ways to make Brooke cry rather than concentrate on potentially good storylines like Macy's, Darla and Sally fighting for her company. I don't know how much longer I can watch to be perfectly honest. Ugh.

I love Sheila! I don't know what it is about her, but her badness is awesome. It makes me want to care for her and 'almost' understand her actions! I hope, really hope she gets away with it or gets away somehow, but I really don't want her to go back to prison, she's too much fun. I know some fans are skeptical, but I truly do believe that Diana is Massimo's daughter, and I am awaiting to see how this storyline develops. 
As far as Ridge and his possible death... I don't believe it for a minute. I am sure Ridge got caught somewhere before plunging into the fire, there is no way the writers would kill off Ridge. Looking at the spoilers, looks like Brooke will once again reveals herself as being the slut that she is by sleeping with Nick. What a surprise. NOT!
I hope Macy pulls out of this one. Her relationship with Deacon and her storylines are too good to be tossed off. I read somewhere that the writers didn't know what to do with her character and that is why they put her in a 'coma' for a while.. phlleease... why can't they put Brooke in a coma? I am so sick of her. Macy just got back and had many things going on with little D, Deacon and her relationship with Thorne/Darla along with her singing career at Oz's place. She's an awesome singer too, and deserves some real screen time. Speaking of glamour stuff, why don't we see more fashion shows and parties and stuff like that? Isn't this show based on design houses? Whatever.
I also like Oscar, what a great and cute actor! I hope they give him some screen time. And I want to see Sally fight for her company!!!!!

Oh yes, Sheila's back!!! I really, really like Sheila, she is too funny... one of daytime's best villainesses! Best of all she hates Brooke, which is a huge plus. Funny she mentioned how Ridge moved fast from Taylor's death.... gee, you think? The only ones that don't seem to see it that way are Ridge and Brooke, because they are blind to each other and they have no idea what true love is. I miss Taylor!!!
I am dying to see how the Sheila's kidnapping storyline finishes up, I want her to get away with the cash and teach whatever lesson she says she wants to teach Massimo. I like Massimo, but lately he needs an ass whooping... backing up Ridge in taking Spectra away from Sally is truly unforgivable... didn't he despise Brooke? What happened? 
I loved to hear Macy sing again! What a great show. Bobby is such a talented actress and singer, I hope they don't make he die again... it would be a huge loss to the show. Ozzzzz (Oscar) is really growing on me too... very cute, and getting together with Bridget is great, I wonder if momma will approve? Hmmm... Funny how Brooke never approved with her relationship with Deacon or Rick's relationship with Amber, yet is appalled that Stephanie does not approve of her relationship with all her family members? Hypocrite.
I was also shocked to FINALLY see Thorne with Darla! Yey! Can we see more of these two please? I want to see where this storyline goes!!!!

This whole storyline with Ridge being kidnapped and Sheila coming back, blah blah... while intriguing, it's also pretty absurd. And why is Nick so nice to Brooke after he told her that he had misjudged her? I would have thought he would completely back off. Whatever. Jack Wagner needs, truly needs a good storyline here, one away from being Brooke's little dog. Speaking of which... how can Brooke be so paranoid and accusatory toward Massimo (accusing him of kidnapping Ridge to keep them apart? Phhlease!) and then when confronted with the truth, she does not apologize at all? Who in the hell does she think she is? I am so sick of this character (Brooke) and all she gets away with and her ego! Ugh. As for Ridge and Brooke...I have enough of this on/off obsession romance. I don't think they understand what love and dignity are, so they deserve each other. Stephanie should concentrate on Thorne and the new grandbaby on the way and help Sallly get Spectra back. As a matter of fact, Stephanie should just move on and stop trying to hold that dysfunctional family together and have a good time of her own. Sometimes you've got to let the kids deal with their own decisions and let things be about Mama for a change. The best revenge Stephanie can give is to live! Live it up girl and let them handle their own business.
I, for one, absolutely LOVE the new and improved Macy. For those of you, who think that Macy is mean, I beg to differ. She never once encouraged Deacon to take Little Eric from Amber and Rick outright. She simply encouraged Deacon to be involved in his children's lives and not to let Brooke pull them away from him the same way she had pulled Thorne away from her. Besides if Rick and Amber hadn't overreacted and told Deacon because he had a flat tire and was late that he couldn't see his son, then he never would have gotten a lawyer. If Brooke hadn't over exaggerated and claimed that Macy was homicidal so that she could get a restraining order, then none the events that led to them losing their son would have occurred. Macy just helped Deacon get a reputable lawyer. Macy and Deacon even took Little Eric back to Rick and Amber after the honeymoon. So, you could see that they were trying to be a part of Little Eric's life but not to take him away. Rick and Amber had to press for custody. (And we all know what happened next. Amber just supported the decision that the judge made by her desperate actions.) All that said, it is nice to see Macy strong, forceful, and not so easily intimidated by Brooke. Also, she has this strong maternal instinct and warmth. She proved that by wanting to stay home with her family instead of going on tour.

Finally Brooke and Ridge said their "I dos", so hopefully Brooke's love life will take a back seat-it's been so annoying over the years how the writers concentrate on her character so much when there are so many other juicy storylines that are not getting the attention they deserve. BTW, I hope they have a hell of a time conceiving a child, after all, they are both supposedly in their 40s, right? Why should things go always smoothly in pregnancies for Ms Brooke? Also... could the writers at least address her as having "some" concern about what is going around her? I mean her grandson was given away to Deacon, her daughter-in-law is hospitalized, the marriage of her son is falling apart and she is just running off to get married. And where is Hope? With the baby sitter? All what Brooke cares about is Ridge and I loathe this! She just went off and eloped without as much as a quick chat with the person that is taking care of Hope? And she is worried about Deacon's parental skills? Ugh...

This week I particularly enjoyed Sally and Stephanie' drunken mayhem! It was an absolute hoot! I hope they join forces to get rid of Brooke once and for all! I also hope the writers don't waste Samantha. She's too beautiful and feisty to leave on the shelf. Maybe she should get together with Nick, and I hope he does not carry a torch for the ungrateful and undeserving Brooke.

Kudos to Nick for finally seeing Brooke for what she is... when he told her that he "misjudged her", I felt as if finally this character opened his eyes. Bravo Jack Wagner for making this character interesting. I guess Nick realized that Brooke can be 'bought'.
As for the Spectra/Logan designs thing, I am disgusted. A year ago, Ridge bought Spectra to take Brooke down. Now he's giving it to her?! I am so sick of the Ridge and Brooke scenario, get over it and go on. There is a FANTASTIC storyline with Thorne and Darla that is not even being explored. Thorne is now the oldest MALE heir to the Forrester's throne, with the FIRST real grandchild coming and we hear nothing about it? Common writers!!!! But... no, Brooke always has to take center stage. She has done a lot of low down and rotten things to everyone in her life. Life has consequences and she needs to accept and deal with hers. She pretends that she's straightened up her life and everyone should accept that. Brooke has never paid the consequences, it's about time she did! About her being CEO - she slept her way to the top and that is purely disgusting! She does not and never cares about who she steps over to get to the top.
As for the Deacon/Amber/Little D... Brooke initiated the restraining order to keep Macy from spending time with Little D. Doesn't anyone else feel that she alone is to blame for Rick and Amber losing custody? All Deacon wanted was visitations... but they had to play hardball and take Deacon to court to be able to adopt him. The judge decided against them, and they did this to themselves... with Brooke's help. 
Stephanie... go girl! I always love how she gives a hard time to Brooke, she most certainly deserves it. She should disown Ridge for what he's doing-take him out of the will!
Ridge proposing to Brooke? Can I say LAME? At least she will be married and perhaps the focus of the soap will shift to other characters. I am so sick of Logan, Logan Logan!

I honestly thought that this week was the BEST week of B&B ever (yeah, maybe Stephanie and Macy were a bit over the top with their gloating, but it's not like Brooke did not deserve it!), until Friday's show. One thing that floors me is how people like Nick or Eric's children (Bridget and Rick) can't understand WHY Ridge backed his own father!!! What are these people thinking? Why is he made to choose between his girlfriend or his FAMILY? Good grief. I really thought that FINALLY Brooke got what she deserved, and Sidney Penny's character summed it up very well... "just because I did a heck of a job on Massimo's house that does not mean it's MINE" when referring to Brooke as CEO of Forrester. Yet, Ridge, he did get it as far as his dad is concerned, but not with Sally. Spectra IS Sally's.  I was floored when he told Brooke that he planned to rename Spectra 'Logan's Designs' and that she, as the new CEO, could just 'fire' Sally... WHAT? Typical Brooke, instead of being concerned because, ONCE AGAIN, she was going to trample on other's people's lives and hard work to get what she wanted, she could not care less. She could have been happy that she was finally going to spend quality time with Hope, but why would Brooke do that? She probably hasn't seen Hope in a week, yet all she is concerned is that she was once again going to be the CEO of a company that someone else's hard work put on its feet instead of working hard in starting a new company from scratch. She is asking for trouble because she is so selfish it's unreal. And Ridge... to do this to Sally... I could just puke. I truly used to like Ridge, but now he has become as despicable as Brooke. He went running to Sally when Brooke forced him out of Forrester. She sold Spectra against her better judgment, yet she still runs the company and that is what made it okay, but now? Ridge will use her to help Princess Brooke and won't care who he hurts. What happened to the Ridge that Taylor loved? Ridge and Brooke are now sinking to a new low and I don't think I can bear to watch anymore. I watch B&B for entertainment but I can't stand it when there's not even a hint of humanity shown by some of these storylines. I am beside myself.
As far as Macy... I love her spunk and seeing her standing up for herself. What kind of a Satan buys shooters for a couple that are recovering alcoholics? Only Brooke. Did Brooke really think that Macy would actually drink it? Bravo to Macy for giving Brooke a face wash! I really like this pairing of Deacon and Macy, and as soon as they get custody of little Eric (which I am sure they will) I want to see them go after Hope too... she is raised by a nanny anyway. If it was me, and had to pick between being raised by a nanny or my stepmom, I would take my stepmom any day. Macy is a very loving person and will make a wonderful mother... much better than Brooke since she is too preoccupied with dating and being CEOs of companies.. Blah. Also.. Macy may be in for more revenge and will fully pursue Hope just because she booted her own mother out of her own company. I would certainly have no problem with that.
Hopefully, Nick will soon stop seeing Brooke as the innocent victim in all of this. Nick's character is somewhat difficult to figure out. He has such a strong sense of right and wrong when it comes to Ridge, but he can't seem to acknowledge Brooke's flaws or crimes (like having a daughter with the son-in-law) and judge her just as harshly. Poor little Brooke can't do nothing wrong in his eyes, and part of me thinks he just does not know enough of her past to truly make accusations or judgments. 

One more thing. Why don't the writers rename B&B the Brooke show? It seems as if the show revolves around her anyway... blah.

Brooke is totally paranoid and so full of herself it's sickening. First she accuses Sam of being some token being played by Stephanie and Massimo to come between her and Ridge. She is so off base! Get over yourself honey, not EVERYTHING that happens is about YOU! Like the marriage of Deacon and Macy... it has NOTHING to do with you sweetheart! You are NOT the center of the world! I know this is shocking to hear. Wouldn't Nick and Ridge just love to know about Brooke's threat to take Deacon from Macy? How appealing would she be to them then? And the way she talked to both Macy at the cafe (telling her how much of a loser she is) and Stephanie (how she lost her husband because she doesn't know how to take care of a man, bla bla and more insults and crap-like Brooke CAN keep a man for herself anyway! What a laugh!). Whatever. It's time for payback, and your days at Forrester are finally numbered Brooke! Whoo-hoo! I, for one, am thrilled, and Brooke deserves everything that comes to her now. 
Here is what I do not understand. Why are Rick and Bridget siding with their mom? Isn't Eric their dad? Why wouldn't they want their father as CEO of the company HE started? Playing favoritism between mom and dad, huh? I bet Eric is just SOOO proud of his kids with Brooke, who, even though mom is a tramp and an awful mother that deserves no respect whatsoever from her children, still take he side. And here is something else: It is disgusting to see all these men who've been dumped on by Brooke still trying to protect her. Don't they have a shred of self-respect or even a little courage? I'm sick of seeing Brooke step all over good people and never have to pay the price. It's a long past time for her to be brought down. Good riddens!
I am also sick to death to hear Brooke's fans stating that everything that Brooke has done in the past (i.e. taking other women's boyfriends & husbands, including her own daughter's) is because she does it 'out of love' and not 'maliciously'. Phhhlease! No matter if she does it 'out of love' or 'maliciously' she is STILL doing something that is WRONG.... over, and over and over again! Where do I puke?

Well well well.. that was SOME wedding! And Amber really hurt her chances of getting to adopt little Eric with her behavior, fighting with the bride on the floor! Give me a break. Now that it's all videotaped, Deacon and Macy really do have a chance. Even though at first they only wanted visitations, I am truly rooting for custody. For one, Amber cannot say Deacon is 'stealing' anything. She is the one that 'stole' little Eric when her baby was stillborn, and while Becky did leave the child to her, and Deacon did tell her she could keep him, at the same time, her paranoid behavior and dislike of Macy, who only wants to give love to this child, are completely unwarranted. Now that they played hardball the boomerang is coming back. Deacon is the child's biological father and always loved the child. I even would like for him to get joint custody of Hope, after all, it was Brooke who begged him to go 'away' for a while so she could work on her relationship with Bridget, and now, true to form, Brooke is using the fact that he was away as a tool against him? I would like to see what transpires there...
This new character... Samantha, wow! What a breath of fresh air! I love her! I am with Stephanie on this one.. Ridge should go after her and see what transpires.. let Nick have Brooke! Who cares? Too much baggage, too much BS, Brooke even has the gulls of bringing up Taylor and Caroline whom are DEAD all the time! Tacky must be her middle name.

Brooke is some piece of work... "I could steal Deacon with you with just a snap of my fingers"... oh really, you little tramp? Then she goes on threatening Macy... I think it's Macy's turn to put a restraining order on Brooke! That would be funny. I can't stand Brooke and her actions make me hate her more and more as time goes on. She truly thinks she is God's gift to men, but I believe she is men's worse nightmare! Run Nick run! Run Ridge run! Brooke does not deserve happiness since she's brought so much pain to so many people. 

As far as Little Eric goes... the Forrester's have a very short memory span. For one, Deacon did have a relationship with his son, and once he got to know him, he used to take him to the beach and spend quite a bit of time with him. This was when Rick and Amber had problems. At one point he kicked her out and she and Deacon spent a lot of time together, even so that they got tattoos together and he daydreamed about the three of them being a family in the park. Many of us remember the relationship Deacon had with the boy, this just isn't some new thing. He only stopped seeing the boy because he was away after the Brooke/Hope saga. As for his relationship with Hope, Brooke asked him to stay away for the sake of her relationship with Bridget. Now that they have been mending things, Deacon's relationship with Hope has nothing to do with either Brooke or Bridget. We need to see Deacon be a father to both of his children. We remember the storylines. Besides, the only thing Deacon wanted was 'visitations' with his children, but now that the Forrester's are playing hardball, I hope he gets at least joint custody! Those children need their father and know who they are, even Nick told this to Brooke. But Brooke is so incredibly selfish... her character honestly makes me sick to my stomach.

What a boring week... I mean... really. The island setting was nice, and Stephanie getting Brooke stranded absolutely hilarious, but I guess I am just tired of the writers ONLY writing love stories for Brooke. What about Stephanie, Sally, Bridget, Darla? Darla is one that really NEEDS a love story, even if it is something on the surface with Thorne. There is a GREAT story there, and all we see is Brooke's love life? Enough already!

As far as Deacon is concerned, it seems like everyone is forgetting that when Brooke was with Deacon, she talked about how all these years, she always thought that Ridge was her soul mate and how she was so passionate about him and all this time there was someone else for her - Deacon; how she was soooo tortured because Deacon was her daughter's husband, but Deacon and Brooke were soul mates, destined to be together! Somehow they would have to break it to Bridget and be together. Now Brooke acts as if Deacon took advantage of her and she was "miss innocent." Give me a break! It was a true affair, not a one night stand. Deacon is the father and has every right to see his daughter. If Deacon was bad for sleeping with his mother-in-law, Brooke was equally as bad, if not worse, for sleeping with her son-in-law!

As for Macy, I am happy that she accepted the proposal and that her mother is happy for her. For those of you who think that Macy is just encouraging Deacon to fight for his children to get back at Brooke, that is just ridiculous. If you remember, Macy was encouraging Deacon to be a part of his children's lives before she even knew that Brooke was Hope's mother.

For Thorne to want to stop this marriage because he is afraid of hurting Macy... give me a break. I always loved the Macy/Thorne pair, yet Thorne did leave Macy for Brooke and did have a one night stand with Darla... yes, he was drunk, but the fact remain of what he did.

I am actually quite fond of this storyline with Deacon and Macy. What's upsetting is that Deacon did not know of his son until after Little Eric bonded with Amber and Rick and that Amber did steal him. So why should Amber and Rick seem like the victims? Not to mention the fact that Brooke and Amber have enough skeletons in their closets and dirty laundry in their pasts to put Deacon to shame. The fact that these people can deny a man visitation with his children, or act so self-righteous and sanctimonious about it, is hypocrisy at its finest. Besides... Brooke doesn't spend any time with Hope. She's too busy romancing Nick and Ridge. She's letting the maid take care of Hope. Considering what Brooke has done to Bridget, Brooke should be the LAST person to throw stones regarding parenting skills to Deacon! Give me a break. And now the restraining order? Please... for one, Macy did NOT try to kill Brooke, and for second, Brooke threatened Macy just as much as Macy threatened Brooke! Ugh. I hope Macy does marry Deacon and then we'll see some s*** fly.

I am as usual disappointed on how the writers write for Stephanie. It's always the same thing... fighting with Brooke or about Brooke this and that. Give this woman a storyline for herself for crying out loud! She just won an Emmy, not Brooke! Put Brooke on the backburner for a while... I am so tired of her BS. Speaking of Stephanie, in the previews it states that one of her secrets is revealed, I am pretty sure it has to do with a handicapped child? Since I have a handicapped child myself I am eager to see it. I really love Stephanie, and find it inexcusable for Eric to treat her the way he did after all the BS she forgave HIM for.

Also.. about Jackie... I like her, but I find it pretty pathetic that she feels she can judge Stephanie regarding her feelings for Brooke. If Brooke had stolen Massimo from her, have a couple of children together, and then went on marrying both her children and cause heartache all around, Jackie would hate her too. She, of course, is completely oblivious (as is Nick) of Brooke's past, so she just judges Stephanie. Whatever. I hope Brooke does end up with Nick and all her BS comes out AFTER the wedding. We'll see if Jackie will like Brooke then! Brooke is FAR from a catch.

Finally we saw Darla and Thorne this week, thanks to Bridget's involvement, but it's still unexplained how this woman makes her ends meet... how is she doing financially? She is not one of the Forresters or Marones, who can just live without working, what's up with that? Also, I felt the scenes were too few. What happened after the ultrasound? Who knows... the writers, as usual, are too involved in making sure Brooke has a storyline.. can I puke? Ugh...

I, for one, was pleased to see Deacon get a lawyer thanks to Macy, and even more glad that Brooke now knows about Macy's involvement... Brooke has so many enemies, and Deacon and Macy surely have reason to be vindictive for Brooke's selfish behavior. What surprised me the MOST is Rick and Amber's reaction when Deacon took little Eric with the lawyer overnight... they look so worried and upset! Common... give me a break. Do they really believe that Deacon is going to hurt a hair on the head of that child? And... they can't really say that they didn't see this coming. They never officially adopted the child, and Deacon is the only biological parent left. Deacon is not going for custody, he just wants visitations, and there's nothing wrong with that. I will even go a step further and say that he even should get visitations with Hope. And since it is still a 'secret' to the whole wide world who Hope's daddy really is, Deacon could really come out ahead on this one. Hed could threaten to tell the tabloids or something... He is her daddy, and I do not see why he should not be allowed to see her. If a lawyer is the only way he's going to be able to do that, then Brooke does not have a leg to stand on. She is the one that slept with Deacon, nobody forced her. And  somebody please tell me why Brooke deserves to be happy anyway? She takes whoever and whatever she wants. She has no qualms about pitting brother against brother. She is always "in love" until it's a problem for her or the next guy shows up. After stealing her daughter's husband and now denying him the right to be a father, I say she should get nothing but a cold empty bed!!

As far as Jackie and Nick being fans of Brooke... all I can say is BLAH. They know nothing of this woman's past, so they can't have a clear head as far as she is concerned. I don't see Brooke spilling the beans about all her past relationships and marriages and selfish mistakes with them either. Once they know all about her... surely their impression of her will change... that is, if they have an actual brain in their head.

And for Ridge... I wish he would quit chasing after Brooke. Good riddens.. if she prefers Nick's company, let him have her! As soon as Ridge meets someone else, Brooke will be gone anyway...

These past 3 weeks have been interesting to say the least. Even though I was at camp with my son I taped all the shows and was able to see everything unfold... from the plane crash to Massimo's marriage proposal... from Macy and Deacon getting closer to Rick's pathetic "Holier than thou" behavior which gets on my nerves. From Nick finding out that he is Massimo's son and everyone finding out the same news. And the never-ending Brooke scenes. Why there must always be a storyline including some love story for Brooke? Can we put this character in the background for once? Susan Flannery and Jennifer Finnigan (Stephanie and Bridget) just won EMMYs, for crying out loud, and are getting NO airtime because the writers feel there must be a storyline for Brooke? Give me a break. Ugh. 
Now it seems as if there is going to be a fight for Brooke from Nick and Ridge... how boring. I might just tape the show and fast forward those scenes. There are so many more storylines worth exploring and they waste their time on Brooke's love life as usual. ENOUGH! I want to see Brooke respect herself and try to make it without a man for once! She needs to grow up and stop running around like a junior high student with two invitations to the spring dance that can't make up her mind. If Brooke has really become stronger and more mature, then she doesn't need a man to make her life stable. She should be stable on her own! She needs to spend more time with Hope, reconcile with Bridget and quit whining to Rick all the time about her complicated love life.
I want to see Darla... what happened now that she got fired? I want to see Thorne! What is he going to do with this baby? 
As far as upcoming stuff, I better hope that Deacon gets a good lawyer and gives Brooke what she deserves. Brooke has no right to keep Hope from Deacon, and Deacon is not the only one to blame for their affair.. it takes two to tango!!!

Many interesting things happened this week...

For one.. the 'chance' encounter of Macy and Deacon! Both in the music industry, both alcoholics... hmmm... this will prove to be a very interesting storyline for sure! And.. I can't wait for Macy to let Brooke have it! It should be a hoot for sure!

For two, Deacon seeing his children was surely precious. Of course we have to look forward to Rick's rage at Deacon for being there, AND toward Amber as well for letting Deacon see his children. Surely this will not end there as some lawyer is going to be involved for sure. And for a lawyer... while we know little Eric is legally adopted so legally I am not sure if he can see him at all, it was never explained about little Hope. Hope is not adopted, and he is the father... Brooke surely can't keep Deacon away from her... or, can she? We'll see. Of course it was Macy that spruced him up to see his children, and Macy knows nothing about WHO Hope's mother is, so there sure will be some serious fireworks here too...

For three, and I was stunned by this... Sally actually FIRING Darla? What? Can she do this? And.. how do you fire a pregnant woman anyway? Isn't that discriminatory? Darla could have some grounds to fight this in court. Aside that... wasn't she at Thorne's house? Why didn't they show what Throne thought about Sally firing Darla? Did he comfort Darla? Told her she could live with him, or offer to pay her rent or get her a new job or SOMETHING? Hmmmm? The writers are missing the boat here big time because they are too concerned to give Brooke a love life...ugh. Leave Brooke man-less for a while, will ya? Is that a remote possibility? There are many other storylines right now that need serious attention...and... what about Stephanie? Will she jump in and help Darla someway or will she be too upset with Thorne to even think about the coming grandchild?

Ridge should just forget about Brooke AND Bridget for good and I am in the hope that the writers will find a new love interest for both Ridge and Bridget... and what will happen once Nick finds out more stuff about Brooke? She is not the 'wonderful' woman he and his mother think she is... that's for sure...

sunday, june 8

Rick was the character that left me baffled this week. There he is, scolding Bridget of all people? He didn't feel one iota bad that his mother had sex with Bridget's husband and had his baby, yet he's all bent out of shape for a kiss or two, and has the absurd nerve to come down on his sister and actually use their mother's betrayal against Bridget? I knew I never liked Rick, and now I like him even less. There is NO comparison between Brooke sleeping repeatedly with her son-in-law, getting pregnant and having his baby (and all the while knowing that her daughter loved this man) and the Ridge/Bridget connection. Also if their relationship can be debatable, Ridge and Bridget have not gone beyond two kisses, both have put their families above their own feelings. Can Brooke say the same thing?
As far as Macy/Darla/Thorne, I applaud Darla for wanting the truth to come out, and to be honest I did not think Macy would take it this bad. I mean... for all intense and purposes, Macy at the time was STILL sleeping with Lorenzo, and she had not given Thorne any reason to truly believe they were a couple. Yet. Not only that, he was drunk with despair, so was Darla, and while they made out, he kept calling Darla 'Macy'. Anyway... I hope the fact that Darla is willing to give Macy her baby (which is HUGE) will sink in and Macy might again be happy, because Thorne really wants to work things out.
Amber was a breath of fresh air this week. I have to admit, since the introduction of her twin wild sister, the writers have toned down Amber quite a bit and I actually like her now, especially after her support of Stephanie.

friday, may 30

This week was just surreal, and I had many, many problems with many of the storylines and happenings, including and mostly about Eric...

For one, how can Eric forgive Brooke for having a child with their Daughters husband in a second... but not able to even consider the possibility of forgiveness where Stephanie is concerned? He does not even want to talk to her.. good grief. It is absolutely ABSURD for Eric to believe his marriage is over with Stephanie because of Ridge's paternity.  First, she did not cheat on their marriage. Had she known that Eric was not the father and kept it a secret all those years -- then things would be different. But Eric has put Stephanie through pure hell over the years by his own choosing. This was an honest tough, tragic turn of events.  Stephanie did not deceive Eric and everyone keeps losing sight of this. 

For two, how incredibly childish for Brooke and Eric to ban Stephanie from Forrester. This is very much inappropriate as it surely has nothing to do with business.

For three, Eric telling Thorne that he should be furious because he was actually his  first-born son and he should have received all the attention that Ridge got and have been groomed to take over the company. Very nice Eric! You just admitted that you  played favorites with your children! Father of the Year... NOT!

Four... how can Eric tell Bridget he is ashamed of her. He's ashamed of her because she kissed Ridge a couple of times? Where was he when he found out that Brooke not only slept with her son-in-law - Bridget's HUSBAND - but had his baby? Why didn't he tell BROOKE he was ashamed of her? On top of that, he gave no comfort whatsoever to his own daughter, what kind of father is he?

And Five... why are the long-time viewers so caught up on the age difference between Ridge and Bridget? Brooke is a lot younger than Eric and the fans seemed to think that was O.K. Then again these are the same fans that think a mother sleeping, falling in love, and having her daughter's husband's baby is OK because Brooke was following her heart. Well, Bridget is doing the same but it is not OK for Bridget I guess...

And what about Brooke? She waits to spill the beans about Ridge and Bridget before she airs her own dirty laundry. What a nice and clever cover up. Of course, Rick is going to be upset about his sister and Ridge first and foremost (since it's current events) rather than concentrate on her mother's dirty (and much worse) deeds. Blah.

Brooke has come across like a complete hypocrite this week. Every one is supposed to forgive and forget all the BS she put people thru the years but she calls Ridge's actions 'unforgivable'? Her comment how she always had to look ever her shoulders because Ridge was involved with Caroline and Taylor really upset me because... well, both women are now DEAD, so, she must feel real proud. I don't know why Ridge wants to chase after her so bad anyway, she is far from a catch and she is no model of virtue whatsoever.
On the other hand, I can't help but feel sorry for Bridget. The poor girl has been thru hell because of her mother, and now her mother and father call her all kinds of names.. disgusting etc. I think it would be best for Bridget to completely severe the ties with her parents. That is what I would do if I was her. Forget her family exist and develop a relationship with the only person that has understood her and be there for her... CJ. 
All in all, a pretty boring couple of weeks, the same BS over and over again. I don't feel sorry for Brooke or Stephanie at this point, but neither do I feel sorry for Eric since he's called his daughter disgusting and more. I do like Massimo still, he holds his ground and I respect that!
Still awaiting the fireworks with the Darla / Macy / Thorne storyline!!! Hopefully soon!

I don't think I ever hated Brooke as much as I did this week. How dare she tells her daughter she never wants to see her again as long as she lives after Bridget forgave her for having sex with her husband and having a child with him? The kiss she calls so disgusting (disgusting after what Brooke has pulled over the years? Look at yourself in the mirror sister!) and incestuous (they are not related, despite thinking they were for so long) is nothing compared to what she has done. How can she expect everyone to forgive her and her nasty deeds, when she can't get past this, which pales in comparison to what she's done in the past? 
Honestly, both Ridge and Bridget are better off without that woman in their lives anyway. It would have been a matter of time before she would have hurt them in some way, shape or form, like she hurts everyone else. It is also a showing of character that, when the tables are turned, she can't act with any class, but starts yelling in people's faces like she is some kind of saint. Give me a break.
I felt so sorry for Macy... I can't describe. I really am enjoying this storyline. I think Darla should, of course, agree to let Macy & Thorne  raise her baby, if she feels she can't. The only roadblock I see is explaining to Macy how this all came about... how is Darla pregnant with Thorne's baby to begin with... I anticipate fireworks!
As far as Eric... surely he won't take the news that Ridge isn't his son kindly. Eric is one of those characters that when it comes to Brooke... he will forgive her everything under the sun, no matter how nasty or ugly, but I bet he won't forgive Stephanie... who had 5 children with him and is still in love and faithful to him after all these years. Stephanie's revelation that Ridge is actually Massimo's son is not at all like Brooke's affairs, since it happened before Eric, and she's been with Eric for the past 40 years or so... there is no justice on this soap, of course, and Brooke is always the one that gets away with everything... blah!

Ahhh... poetic justice... Brooke finds out about Ridge and Bridget, which reminds me so much of when Bridget found out about Brooke and her then husband Deacon, only then the situation was... err... MUCH worse. Bridget was married to Deacon and her mother was expecting a child with him! Now the roles are reversed, Bridget is in love with her mother's fiancee'. A taste of your own medicine Brooke? I gotta say, I can't feel sorry for you at all sweetie... it's about time that you finally understood what is like for another woman to steal your man... 
Of course, in spite of Stephanie's objections, she is still determined to go ahead with the wedding... what a laugh. They will be divorced in no time. And how clever of Stephanie to remind Brooke how she will never be comfortable to be in the same room with Ridge and Bridget! How true.
Okay, on to the other storyline that had me baffled... the Thorne / Macy / Darla. How is it that Thorne told nobody about Macy's cancer and surgery? The whole Forrester clan up at the engagement party while Macy and Thorne are at the hospital and nobody knew about it? What is wrong with this picture? And.. how can Thorne even 'think' that Darla would be so willing to carry the baby to term just to give her baby up? Hello? Thorne acted in a very arrogant way, kind of out of character. Very strange. And... how is Macy even going to handle knowing that Darla is pregnant with Thorne's baby anyway? It's like Thorne is living in some fantasyland...

Brooke will never change, how dare she claims otherwise. How can Ridge possibly not see thru that? In a split second she would have put Ridge's children, who lost their mother only a few months ago, thru a major scandal, all for selfish reasons. She surely never spared her own children from scandal, why should she care for Ridge's? If I were Ridge, I would not trust her at all. How can a man who loved Taylor, a woman with such class, morals and distinction, even remotely like someone like Brooke anyway? It is totally beyond me. The only way it can be explained is that she was 'there' when he was mourning at the right time in the right place. But... marrying her? Let's take a poll to see how long this marriage last, lets? How long until Brooke will want someone else? How long until Brooke betrays Ridge's children? How long until Brooke shows her true colors and Ridge will finally see her for who she really is? I give it 12 months, tops, and that is if the marriage even goes thru. We'll see.
This whole Macy's story is so sad, further complicated with Darla's pregnancy. I feel for both Macy and Darla as well. This storyline is very compelling and I am pleased that Thorne is finally back front and center on a great storyline. This man is too gorgeous not to have one!
I also like to see Deacon back in a storyline, although, I must admit, this April/Amber thing is so silly. I have a hard time getting into it. I would like for Deacon to create more problems for Brooke to be honest, he's at his best on those!

Hmmm...what are the chances of Bridget's tire going flat just in a town as bigas LA just outside the bar where Captain Payne was drowning his sorrowswith his buddies? Pretty slim you say? Not on soapland! LOL. I reallydo enjoy "Nicky" and I hope they give this character long life,hopefully permanent. Being Ridge's half brother should give him an interestingstoryline. I actually like his seriousness and pride and I hope he keepsgiving Massimo as much as he receives.
I also like his mother, Jackie (who truly is not old enough to be hismother!) and her attitude with Massimo. What a classy lady! While I amnot too fond of Bridget being involved with either Ridge nor the Captain(common, they are just way too old for her!) I like the fact that Ridgeis very protective of Bridget which gives the storyline a new kind oftwist.
Brooke's smug and pretentious treatment of Stephanie shows she has notchanged at all. "Oh, I've changed", she cries... really? I don'tbuy it for a minute. Brooke is the same selfish person as she always been.And... where the heck is Hope anyway? The mysterious child that is nowhereto be found. Brooke is constantly at Ridge's house, not at work, not takingcare of her own child. Even Bridget thinks she is a horrible mother, yet,Ridge does not see this? He is blinded by Brooke's attention and in mourning.Taylor is surely turning in her grave.
I think this whole April thing is so out of place on B&B still. Ithink this is a pathetic attempt in giving Adrienne a storyline, but Idon't think it's going to fly.

Itwas nice this week to see Deacon dressed in something other than blackclothes... won't you say? Very interesting! I am actually enjoyed bothDeacon and Massimo this week. I particularly thought that Sally 'findanother man for Brooke' statement was right on target! Now, how hard willthat be to do? Not so hard, I mean, Brooke has been linked with so manymen the past 15 years I lost count, and even though Ridge was always THEman she always wanted, that did not stop her from playing games before.
I also liked Stephanie defiance... she will never accept Brooke, and..let's toast! LOL, too funny.
PoorDarla... what will she do? She must tell Thorne, I mean, he deserves toknow. There are already so many secrets on this soap, and they all comeout eventually, but since secrets are such huge thing on soaps in general,for sure Darla will keep it a secret, for the time being anyway. I canalready see it when the secret comes out.. poor Macy, unable to conceivewill hate Darla for giving Throne what she can't... will make it for agreat storyline for sure!
On another note, I am liking this Nick Payne character.. and what willMassimo thing to find 2 long lost sons instead of just one! I mean, whatare the chances of that? It is soapland after all... staying tuned!

saturday,april 5

WhileI am ecstatic that Macy and Thorne are back together, and so happy tosee Macy so happy, this whole thing with Darla will surely spoil things.I even read on a spoiler somewhere that Darla finds herself pregnant,so we will see some interesting storylines with Thorne coming soon! And,finally too. The poor guy really hasn't had a decent storyline since Macy'spresumed death a few years ago.
I was also very happy to see bad boy Deacon getting cozy with April andhelping her out, WOW! If only Amber knew how many doors for April singingcareer Deacon opened, she would surely think of him differently. We'llsee what happens.
What about Ridge and Brooke? I am starting to dislike Ridge a lot becauseof it. We are lead to believe that Ridge's children are "happy"that Ridge is with Brooke because Brooke supposedly makes Ridge happy?Give me a break. The writers are so out of touch with reality is not evenfunny. My own cousins, which were Ridge's children's ages when their motherdied, wanted NOBODY in their dad's life for a LONG time. They were threatenedby anyone new. Children are not giving people, they are very selfish,but Ridge's children are not? I doubt it. The writers just want Brookeand Ridge together, again, no matter who is involved or hurt in the progress.I mean.. just a year ago he absolutely HATED Brooke! When he tried totake the company away from her and he left and bought out Spectra? Didhe forget all of that? Did he get a lobotomy or something?
And for Ridge to even remotely compare his mother to Brooke? What procedurehas he been through that makes him conveniently forget Brooke's past soeasily? Let's compare... how many times has Stephanie been married? Howmany men has Stephanie been with? Compared to Brooke? Ridge's memory needssome reassessment, a reboot! Let's give Ridge a new love interest, please?Even just Bridget for crying out loud, the woman loves him! Who caresif she is too young? It would surely give Brooke a taste of her own medicine!
I like this newstoryline with Jack Wagner... can't wait to see more!

It'sofficial. Brooke can get away with anything. I bet if she was to shootsomeone in plain view with a hundred witnesses, she would never servetime. Everyone has to suffer at her expense but... she suffer? Even justsuffer the consequences? NEVER. I bet she is happy that Taylor (and Carolineat this point) died too... and Taylor is surely turning in her grave withdisgust.
My only reason for even watching the soap right now, since these scenesof Ridge and Brooke totally disgust me (how can Ridge be so upset withBrooke one moment and completely forgive her the next? It's a HUGE characterflaw, I have little respect for Ridge nowadays) is the fact that Deaconis still around, still waiting to cause trouble for Brooke. I never thoughtI would be rooting for Deacon, but go Deacon go! His association withMassimo is great, can't wait to see more.
This whole April thing on the late late show is so ridiculous, these nationalshows would never have someone sing that does not have a record out orsomething, common! Far fetched is what it is. The writers truly must havenothing better to write about!
I am not awaiting Jack Wagner to make his entrance, to stir things up,I have to admit the show isgetting boring and stale, especially if the writers have no better storylinesthan to put Brooke and Ridge together despite all the crap that went on,common! Ugh!
Here's hoping for a better week next week! Awaiting some fireworks!

Onlythree days worth of episodes should not make for much story development,but in our case it sure was! For one, I am still baffled with the Thorne-Darladrunken sex night thing. While it was intriguing to see how Thorne wasdevastated over Macy, and thought Darla was Macy, still... makes you think.Poor Darla did not know what hit her, I wonder where this storyline willgo from here. The fact that Macy came back in to tell him she's made herdecision and sent Lorenzo's packing made it all very timely strange too!We'll see. As we all know, with soaps, this is all going to come out insome way, nobody gets away with anything, Darla already told Clarke!
I was saddened to see that Thomas thought that his dad was keeping hisdistance for Brooke because of him! Ridge should have been more forcefulin stating that it was Brooke that let him down with all her secrets andlies, and why in the world would he let Thomas invite her to dinner? Thisis beyond me. Why don't the writers want to leave things as they are?Why are they so hell bent in making this Ridge-Brooke tug of war thing?One moment he hates her, one moment he doesn't? How realistic is that?Not really... oh well.
Massimo's "almost" secret revealing was pretty funny, and Iwish he went ahead with it. We all know it's going to come out sooneror later...

Therevelation of Amber's twin sister separated at birth stunned me! I didnot see it coming at all! It was a complete surprise for yours truly,and I thought how B&B had never pulled such a classic soap stunt before...very strange to say the least. I must admit, however, that Adrienne Frantzreally pulled it off, with a new accent to boot! BRAVO! Well done.
This story between Massimo, Ridge, Stephanie and the unsuspecting Erichas me confused a bit. I was moved when Stephanie called Ridge to thankhim, yet, myself, I am not sure keeping this secret from Eric is trulythe best thing. Or is it? I don't know, but something tells me that, justas any other soap secret, it will eventually come out, it's just a matterof when.
Deacon's unexpected appearance was hilarious in my view. It showed Ridgehow, once again, Brooke is tied with this clown and there is no gettingrid of him. Ridge is not going to stand for that, hence, a reunion betweenRidge and Brooke is thankfully, at least on hold.
Lastly, Macy's decision to leave Lorenzo left me very sad. I knew thatit was going to happen, yet I've grown fond of Lorenzo and how much hecares for Macy... oh well. At the same time I am happy that the 'greatcouple' is back together :-)

Therewas some really strange storylines going on this week. On one hand, Itotally believe that Ridge was WAY too harsh on Stephanie. He did not,for one minute, listen to her, he just judged her, telling her he wantednothing to do with her anymore? What? He is upset, granted, but Stephanieis STILL the only person that he has NOT lost in all of this. Kudos toStephanie's character to keep her cool and not becoming hysterical orcrying like Brooke would have certainly done. She calmly listened andtook in his rage. On the other hand, Ridge, who is still in disbeliefover Hope's paternity and disgusted that Brooke would betray her own daughter,actually believes that Brooke is a sign from Taylor? Give me a break.He should know better than that. Common. Now all of a sudden he's readyto perhaps forgive everything and let Brooke raise his children? Has heforgotten how much Thomas dislikes Brooke? Has he forgotten Brooke's unforgivablebetrayal of her daughter? Where is Deacon when we need him? Why does Ridgewant to be in a relationship with ANYONE at this point anyway? His kidsshould be Priority #1, yes, his grieving kids, his kids who end up inthe hospital because RIDGE was too busy spending time with Brooke... hashe forgotten that? My my, how quickly and easily is Ridge manipulated...or is he really this dense? And why, for God's sake, is Bridget even LISTENINGto Brooke after all she's done to her? Why would Bridget help her motherget the man she wants after her own mother is 100% responsible for ruiningHER marriage? Bridget is WAY too weak as far as her mother is concerned...if she's really that concerned about Ridge's kids like she shows to be,she should definitely keep Brooke, the role model from hell, out of Ridge'slife.
On another note... I found it quite strange how Tricia just quickly decidedto move back to New York? One overheard conversation and her bags arepacked after the lies and manipulations? What was she doing in LA anywaysince she wasn't counseling anybody? Very strange indeed.
The last storyline gave me a newfound respect for Amber. I may even beginto like her. When she and Rick act like responsible adults instead ofcocky kids they can be quite decent. I will be waiting for the press conferenceto see what will happen and to see how her designs will be renamed.

Itwas a great roller-coaster ride this week, no doubt! I think the writersdid a good job in finally letting the truth come out about Ridge's paternityin the way that they did, and also in the way Ridge handled it. I am eagerto see Ridge 'deal' with his mother. I am afraid it won't be pretty. I'vealways really liked Stephanie and Ridge a lot, so I cannot wait to seehow their characters deal with the news.
Another aspect of the story that made me happy is how Ridge dealt withBridget's confused feelings for him. This is, of course, a relationshipthat is not going anywhere, and I must say, I am relieved. I just hopehe won't end up with Brooke again, or I might just gag. Thankfully we'vegot someone like Massimo, determined to keep Brooke away from Ridge. YouGO Massimo!
I do hope that Bridget does go to Copenhagen for her career, but now Idoubt she will.
Finally the truth about Tricia's intentions came out early in the week.Just as we were lead to believe, there was really no relationship to speakof that was starting out between her and Thorne before the Portofino trip,and I am quite appalled that Tricia would act the way that she did, leadingSally to believe things were hot and heavy with her and Thorne. Now thatshe overheard of Thorne's undying love for Macy, I hope she will leavethings alone.

Thestrangest actions by a character this week had to have been Tricia's.The writers want us to believe that she is so lovestruck with Thorne thatshe is now instilling the element of doubt in Sally regarding his feelingstoward Macy... knowing full well that Sally would tell Macy.
Since when Tricia has/had a relationship with Thorne? Admittedly, we sawone single kiss between them when Thorne was departing for Italy. However,we were lead to believe this was nothing more than perhaps the beginningof something since Thorne never once spoke about her, worried about heror anything. Now we are supposed to believe that Tricia is hopelesslyin love? Since when? Hmmm... the writers better come in and shoot some'flashback' scenes we never saw, and in a hurry if they want us to believethis storyline.
The funniest moment this week goes, hands down, to Sally and Fabio! Ialways really LOVE Sally's dream scenes with my favorite Italian heartthrob,hence I really enjoy them. You go Sally! She has good taste in men! LOL
Okay, back to the show's other storyline! I am really liking this ideaof Stephanie to send Bridget to Copenaghen to study at this prestigiousschool to keep her away from Ridge. I must say, as much as I really likeBridget, it's been quite hard to watch her struggle with her feelingsfor Ridge. There is no way this 20 year old, however mature she is, canmarry Ridge, easily 25 years her senior, no matterhow much Ridge adores her. Too strange of a connection if you ask me.So, as I was miffed that Queen Stephanie worked hard to get her away,I agree it's the best thing for everybody.
Of course we know that in soapland, secrets don't stay secrets forever,so it's only a matter of time now until Ridge finds out Massimo is hisdad, and it will be interesting to see.

Notbeing a fan of Brooke, it was nice to see her world coming crashing aroundher. Her own daughter admitting to her she will not help her win Ridgeback, and Ridge... well, calling her pathetic, I must say, well put Ridge!I am finally liking this character again. Massimo, of course, in the middleof it all, loves to come down on Brooke as well. I just loved that meanstare he gave her when he went to Ridge upstairs and saw his grandsonon the ground. That stare meant: Brooke, it's your fault. Well done Massimo!I cannot imagine he can keep his paternity secret from Ridge much longernow.
I really liked that whole scene with Ridge and Bridget with breakfast/Parisstuff, although it seems unlikely that Bridget would even have LPs. LPsare hard to find nowadays, it's been almost 15 years since they stoppedmaking them, and even if you go to a used store or an online used place,to get a bunch of the same theme I cannot say it's probably an easy thingto do. But... for conversation sake.. let's say it's true, I think thewriters were just trying to show that Bridget is a mature young womanwith interests in culture rather than Brittany Spears or N'Sync, whichspeaks volumes about the kind of woman the writers want us to understandshe is. I like that, because I am very similar to that. However, I stilllove Bon Jovi! LOL.
Let's see... what else... Amber Amber Amber... she cannot stay out oftrouble, can she? She is a magnet for it, that's for sure. Now that thecat is out of the bag, let's see the s*** fly and where it goes!
The last storyline worth mentioning is the Macy/Thorne. Obviously thosetwo will end up together, you can truly feel the love there from Macy,let's see how it comes about ;-)

sunday,february 9

Ihave to admit it, I really enjoyed this week's happenings! Actually itwas a week all wrapped up in a single day! By Friday's episode it wasstill the same day as last Friday! LOL. That's how things go in soaplandI suppose.
The character that really disappointed me this week is Eric. He foundout about what Brooke did to Bridget months ago... yet he is yet to goto Bridget, his own daughter, to comfort her and talk to her and instead,is defending Brooke's actions? He is actually totally non-caring abouthow hurt Bridget really is, but is so willing to defend Brooke with everyone,his ex-wife. Does he care more about his ex-wife than his daughter? Iguess Bridget's biological parents care little for her. Very, very sad.Stephanie and Ridge care more about her than her own parents. Ridge, whothinks he's her brother IMMEDIATELY went to Bridget to comfort her andtalk to her. Bridget, of course, is still very upset about it, she justkept it bottled up inside. It was nice to see her dam brake, so to speak.
There is really nothing that Brooke can say to defend herself, and I amappalled that she is even trying. Perhaps Stephanie is right-Ridge nowreally sees Brooke, really sees her for who she is, always involved inlove triangles of every kind. Not that Ridge or other characters on theshow are saints, but Brooke is truly her own worst enemy. Will she everbe stable? She is in her 40s for crying out loud.
The other storylines this week were more sideline than anything. Amberand her X-rated video thing, I'd like to see what she's going to do tostop Rudy (sue him or something? I thought she wanted to publicity!) andThorne's revelation to the press that Macy's alive was a nice twist.

monday,february 3

Well,I must say, all my favorite characters (Massimo, Deacon) have finallycome through as far as I am concerned! LOL. Too funny. I was happy tohear the way Deacon broke the news to Ridge about Hope being his daughter-yet,he did not really tell him, did he? I am eager to find out what's goingto happen next. I do have to admit that a relationship between Bridgetand Ridge seems kinda incest-like though. I know they are not relatedat all, but the age difference, the thought that he could have been herDAD, and then they thought they were siblings for all these years... verystrange. I hope the writers won't go there, but it's not like I have anysaying about it.
And... what about Amber? If I had done an X-rated video in my youngerdays, I would surely not be shocked to see it come up! After all, Amberhas been on the tabloids covers due to her many problems in the past beingmarried into the Forrester's clan, surely someone would recognize herconsidering the name is even the same-she did not even use a fake namefor her X-rated work! I go through periods of not liking Amber, and otherswhere I do, but I must say she acts like she is entitled at times andthat turns me off. I have a feeling that the writers don't like her awhole lot because they give her all these horrible storylines! And yet,it's hard to feel sorry for her as well... very strange.

Wellwell well... finally Ridge shows that he's mourning still. I was sittingon the couch aghast that he went to visit Taylor's grave! He's almostredeemed himself in my eyes. What's more is that he's actually questioningif being with Brooke was the right thing, and asked Taylor to give hera sign. This shows me that he does, deep down, know that Brooke is alwaysgoing to be a distraction, never the love of his life, like Taylor andCarolyn were. Massimo, of course, knows this. He knows things about Brookethat Ridge does not know. Brooke should know better anyway-even her owndaughter told her that being anywhere Ridge right now was a bad idea.Funny, a daughter being more mature than her own mother.
Brooke's fans are always quick to say that Brooke always acts out of love.That might be true, however, she acts out of selfishness love, never thinkingwho she is hurting in the process. In the past 3 years she went afterThorne, hurting Macy in the process, after Ridge again, hurting Taylor,after Deacon, hurting her own daughter, and now the ground on Taylor'sgrave is still fresh and she's already making herself only too availablefor a grieving Ridge. Thankfully there are many characters on the showwho don't want these two together, and with the deviousness of Massimoand the jilted lover and daddy Deacon, we'll know that sooner or later,Ridge will drop Brooke. He always does. Ridge has strong moral valuesand he adores his children. It seems unlikely that he will forgive Brookefor what he did to Bridget when he finds out about Hope's paternity, especiallysince he's so close to Bridget. There will surely be many talks, but Idoubt he will want Brooke raising his children knowing her secret, andalso knowing what a bad track record she has at being a mother anyway.
Let me see.. what else? Macy coming back for Sally, being married, startedquite the storyline for both Sally and Thorne. Will Thorne stand by andlet her be married to Lorenzo without fighting? Can Thorne just be happyfor her? We shall see ;-)
BTW, whatever happened to Tricia?

Thisweek I honestly thought that Bridget was going to spill the beans to Ridgeabout who his real dad is! Inow know that she never will, but it did show that finding out why Massimois so concerned with Ridge and his future could be such a life alteringrevelation for Ridge. The question is, how long will the charade go on?
We were left in limbo about Sally and her heart attack (or whatever maladyhappened to her) midweek and? What now? I am leaning toward this storylineforcing Macy to come back to LA. Actually, I heard a rumor about it! HaHa, so hopefully Thorne will have a good storyline again.
I was really amused at the conversation between Stephanie and Brooke!I cannot believe that Brooke is STILL defending herself stating that theyare only friends! I mean... common. Here she is in Italy, with newly widowedRidge, playing around, driving around, playing with hats, while Ridge'smotherless kids are 'somewhere upstairs'. Brooke cares nothing for thesechildren. The dirt on Taylor's grave is still fresh and she is alreadytrying to make Ridge forget. Ridge hardly talks about his late wife, andthis has really damaged Ridge's character for me. How can he forget sosoon? Taylor? Who's Taylor? Pretty sick, if you ask me. I am hoping thatnow that he's back in LA we'll see some grieving!

Tobe honest it seems a bit unbelievable that Ridge can go from the deepestof despair just before his father gave him the 'challenge', and now allof a sudden is so happy, we haven't seen him happier, not even when hiswife was alive! Give me a break. That is so far away from what normalpeople go through it's not even in the same galaxy. And for Brooke togo after him so quick, shows the person she is, always thinking of herselffirst and foremost. I would like to see this man actually GRIEVE, forGod's sake, 3 of his children have lost their mother! If the writers trulywant to redeem Brooke, they should have her encouraging grief, have themtalk about their feelings, give them space to heal, rather than make Ridgeand the kids forget Taylor! What a horrible person she is. If grief isnot worked through, dealt with, it will never ease. Sure, Ridge seemshappy now, but it's only temporary. And I would like to see the girlsgrieve too, not only the little boy! They are old enough to know theirmother is NEVER coming back. They should all be in counseling if not attendinga support group of some sort. I would like to see Stephanie ask Ridgeabout Taylor, and spend time with the kids talk about their mom, not everyonetrying to help them FORGET. That is just horrible. I am pretty sickenedabout it. It shows the writers did no research in grief at all, and whatREAL people go through. Not one time I see Ridge saying or thinking 'Iwish Taylor was here', or 'Taylor would have loved Portofino', or anything,he's NEVER thinking about her! How oddball is that? Ugh... I better stopbefore I puke.
