"It's a hard time especially for my oldest son, Ridge" said by Eric. Be that as it may, I would think THORNE would be the one going through the hardest time... he's in jail for murder and may get the death sentence. Damn bold and beautiful writers...I can't believe how Ridge's situation takes precedence over Thorne's, the brother that's facing the death sentence!!
Right. And I dont know why the judge at the last scene put that question in Ridge's head. It's irrelevant to the case. It's not the judge's business to know who wants to be with. This hearing only should be about whether Taylor and Ridge's marriage is valid and it is! All the other subsequent marriages (Brooke and Omar's) are technically invalid, no matter if one was done in another country.
James should've testified too! He was a witness to Taylor and Omar not having a real marriage and that she wasn't free to leave Morocco if she had chosen to!
Taylor's lawyer really dropped the ball here. There should have been a detailed explanation of Taylor being held captive at his home and made to watch Ridge and Brooke ftom a locked room...
You can tell how traumatized Eric is by his son being charged with murder and his wife turning out to be a wanted criminal by how he's discussing Ridge's love life in the same house where Sheila held captive, tortured and almost killed a man. 🥴
So silly how Connor is now some Tridge champion. What happened to his feelings for Brooke? What happened to his rivalry with Ridge? "Stop me if my questions make you uncomfortable." Huh? The old Connor would've _relished_ making Ridge squirm on the stand. Brad Bell has just flattened all of these characters.
Yes exactly. It's all plot over character now and that's especially evident with Connor and James. They don't have perspectives or desires of their own. They're just there to turn the plot gears for Ridge/Brooke/Taylor. 🙄
The fact that the judge didn't even react to that is jaw dropping. It says it all that Ridge willing admitted that he would be a great father to Bridget even if he stayed married to Taylor. That argument undercut Brooke's what about the children argument, which is her whole reason for Ridge picking her.
Brooke didn't like it when Ridge said he loved Taylor very much. 🤭🤭🤭 Just like on her honeymoon when she had to sit there and listen to Ridge go on and on about Taylor.
Nice to see Eric and Steph are standing by what they said earlier about “Thorne being their top priority”, yet their more concerned with ridges drama of which wife he wants to be with than the son facing the death penalty
At least Stephanie has talked with/about Thorne and visited him. Eric has no concerns for Thorne or any of his other children only Rigde, or actual Brooke. Everyone knows Eric only cares about himself and the hoegans and gives Rigde just a thought when he is Brooke and can sleep with Brooke through Rigde.
Sally is a continuous hoot😂😂. By the way, WHEN! when will the Writers find time to send Eric and Stephanie down to the jailhouse to visit their 'Red-headed Stepchild'???
@@kimlambert2127 Actually, the way Bell jr is accused of favoring Bridge, he could have very easily changed Rick's paternity to being Ridge's child, since she started seeing Eric so soon after their separation, with a sensible flashback scene and also confirm Bridget as Ridge's. Would be hard to make Connor as Ricks father.
@@kristinazubic9669 Exactly it did make for a lot of drama, and actually when I learned about this I was not surprised at all even though back then in my country a magazine wrote that she would have been confirmed to be Ridge's, I was not surprised she turned out Eric's because come on it's Brooke, of course she has to have adversity in her life and suffer.
*Sally the Storyteller* Sally displays two storytelling modes in this episode. First she acts as the *Greek Chorus,* commenting on the main action in the A storyline (first with Darla and then with Eric). And when she says, "this isn't a catfight" (12:22) she's basically echoing my argument from episode 2074 that cat-fighting _isn't_ appropriate for Taylor and Brooke. Indeed she defends the dignity and strength of these women and in so doing, she makes the case for a romantic triangle storyline. Then Sally shift gears and tries to become a *Plot-Driver,* offering to take Eric down her long winding road: "I'd be happy to do the driving" (18:56). It's like she's trying to jump start _her own_ romantic triangle storyline with these overtures to Eric and side-swipes at Stephanie. Unfortunately for Sally, such a storyline will kick off but not in the way she hopes. Once again her attempt to drive the plot will end with her under the tires.
Great observation! And yes, it is as if she is using the Taylor/Ridge/Brooke triangle as a way to encourage Eric to start a triangle of his own with her and Stephanie. She is describing the triangle in a much more dignified way than it actually deserves, as if trying to "sell" the idea to Eric. And it is possible to draw a straight line from her "what this must be doing to Eric" comment and her advances later on in the episode - she senses that Eric is feeling vulnerable at the moment because _he_ doesn't have two women fighting over him, and so Sally sets out to give him just that. By the way, I LOVE your final sentence!
@@annieo6527 Yes exactly there's a connection between Sally's commentary on the A storyline and what she's trying to achieve in her own storyline (impress Eric with her views on love and life). Sally is being used in two ways here: there's what the _writers_ want to achieve and what the _character_ wants to achieve. The writers want to defend what could seem like a demeaning cat-fight between Taylor and Brooke and so they're using the old "character defense" trick with Sally. While their attorneys are defending their positions in court, Sally is defending Taylor and Brooke's dignity and the integrity of the storyline in the Court of King Eric. That's what the writers want. But Sally _the character_ also wants Eric and so she's using this situation to show him a different/softer/compassionate side to her. But I'm not sure either one is effective because 1) Sally is an unreliable narrator and doesn't have a lot of dignity and integrity as a character to bestow on Taylor and Brooke and 2) while she might _amuse_ Eric, Sally isn't actually turning him on.
@@NewYorkNick0607 yes, it doesn't really work because when _Sally_ says something is dignified we don't necessarily believe that coming from a known thief who used to get ar rested in drag. Sally is a lot of fun but she is hardly the right person to judge whether someone is or isn't making a fool of themselves. Also, it isn't true because we have _seen_ Taylor and Brooke lose dignity in this storyline already (especially Taylor), and I would guess most viewers think it is degrading for both characters to go through all this trouble to be married to a man who can't even answer the simple question of who he wants to live with. Also note the subtle connection between Sally and Darla discussing Macy's "double engagement" and then pivoting to Ridge and Taylor's "double marriages".
Yes, this poor man. His family just leaves him there in order to focus on his brother's love life. Meanwhile, Thorne's love life involves his fiancée pretending to get engaged to a mur de rer.
Okay I can easily understand why brooke is fighting for ridge ,he has proven time and again that he loves her as much as he does loves taylor... but Omar Goodness like seriously you're a prince for crying out loud how can you humiliate yourself this much for a woman who doesn't loves you one bits... even if she loses this case at court how will you force her to be your bride when with or without ridge she ha no interest in you!!!
@@francoisekoko6068 No, I know she was living under great distress, however, she had opportunity to leave and reveal herself to Ridge when she approached him as he was leaving the palace while he was on his honeymoon. She could have also revealed herself to James as well when he flat out asked her but by no means was she forced to marry Omar and she clearly knew she had a husband.
*Who's Ready for Another Scoop?* 🍨😋 This comic scene with Eric and Sally is closer to John McCook’s real life personality. IRL he’s a _hoot._ Very funny and jokey and quite the gossip. While we mostly got behind the scenes dirt from the crew, every journalist knew you could sometimes get a good scoop from John or get him to confirm something you heard. Her was so fun and loose-lipped that he sometimes let stuff slip without even meaning to. And for a long time the cast had no idea John was regularly selling them out to journalists (not in a malicious way). Remember all those stories about Kimberlin Brown and Hunter Tylo’s falling out? It was _John McCook_ who confirmed a lot of that story for us! If you don’t know, when journalists break stories and want to keep an important source anonymous, they’ll phrase it like this: “Hunter Tylo was upset with Kimberlin Brown for taking Michael Tylo’s side in the divorce,” *a source close to the actors confirmed.* And that's how most of us reported it but one non-soap magazine wrote it as *“a long time cast member confirmed.”* That was way too specific and everyone figured out the source was John and KB and HT were NOT happy with him! After the story broke, HT would talk about it openly herself to try to control the story and give her side but she was ticked off that it leaked and that John confirmed it.
Ooh, that was a great scoop! Thank you so much for sharing! It does explain the lighthearted playful chemistry that John and Darlene have in their scenes, for example during the Rotterdam storyline - they both seemed to be having so much fun together. It's really remarkable how well JMC hides this humorous side of himself (for the most part) when playing Eric. It usually only shows in his scenes with Darlene and occasionally with Susan. You mentioned before that Darlene was typecast and very much like her character in real life. Who in the cast would you say were the most, and the least, like their characters?
Love it! Thanks for another scoop @CBosten! So funny that John is so gossipy. Eric isn't like that at all but you can see a lighter side to him in scenes with Sally. Did he get along well with HT and KB before they realized he was the source?
Oh man, who thought John was a snitch and he created Drama behind the scenes where should have been none. What a sellout. Fits his character. 😂 Never liked his character. Not really impressed with his acting. He isn't really good.
@@sharonstewart4882speaking of JMC's "gossipy" side, there was an interview a few years ago with JMC and KKL where they were asked to comment on past and present co-stars. It was a lot of fun to read. One thing that stood out to me was JMC saying about Jeff Trachta that "he didn't suffer strong personalities". I couldn't help but wonder what the story was there, and who the "strong personality" was. It seemed like such an oddly specific thing to say among all the usual "he/she is a great actor and so much fun to work with". (KKL's comment on HT was also kind of telling: "Outside of work, we never really had a friendship. We had more of an acquaintanceship.")
You are right…what do feelings got to do with who you are legally married to? That’s determined by the paper work…🤷♀️ And even then that can be changed according to your feelings…but you need the ruling first! It’s a simple a legal matter at the moment…😮
Wasn’t there a death certificate involved? I’m not rooting for either side, but since there was a death certificate, that is the legal basis for the Bridge marriage.
"Put a part in the Red Sea, throw a couple of waves in it!" ❤SALLY😂

"It's a hard time...especially for my older son, Ridge." Dude, seriously? Thorne is only in jail facing a life sentence for murder and Ridge is only having to choose between two beautiful women and secretly loving the tug-of-war. I can't believe that line even ended up in the script. Thorne is far worse off!
That look on Ridge's face when the judge asks him who he wants to be married to! 😂 As a teacher, I know that look only too well. It's the "didn't do my homework, haven't got a clue, please ask someone else" look.
It's a Weak Men Conference in this courtroom: - Omar, who can only convince a woman to stay with him if he blackmails her, put anxiety in her thoughts and flash his Prince of Eternia or some kind of ish card; - Connor, who fights for her ex real love to still be her husband, even if she betrayed Connor and played with his emotions; - Ridge - last AND least, since Taylor comeback he didn't show any emotion towards her in my eyes, but he didn't show any towards Brooke too. Maybe he should play a person who is in emotional turmoil, but he comes of as bland, stupid and boring. Taylor girl, you should leave that behind. Omar, Ridge, Brooke, all of them, find some piece of mind (and Pierce Peterson in future).
the judge is right after everything is said and done it comes to whom Ridge wants to be with although the choice is obvious he loves Taylor but is worried about the children
Do you think they intended her to look so unattractive? Flat hair, pouty mouth, googly eyes? 😂 Are we supposed to feel sorry for Ridge’s homely option?
You know, I fully and wholeheartedly support 🏳️🌈 marriage but I doubt the lgbt community would accept Brock with that haircut and 45-ish tan in any capacity!
isn't it weird that the judge , or Omar , didn't look shocked when they heard Ridge that him and Brooke share a biological daughter and Brooke and Ridge's dad share a biological son too lol
For Omar it can't have been new information. Omar had a file about the Forresters. He had to know that little Eric has been born during he BERIC marriage, but we also had Omar reminding Taylor that Brooke and Ridge share a child. (ep. 1909) when Omar tried to convince Taylor that she would never have Ridge's full heart. (That most certainly will be your plight. Married to a man who cannot and will not forget the mother of his child.). The judge might have had worse, but I guess he also knew from Connor's appeal about the complicated paternity of the children. (Or might have read about the Eric-Brooke marriage and divorce in the past) . Taylor's lawyer looked as if he had never heard about it before.
The judge asking who Ridge he wants to stay married to is kind of irrelevant in this situation. The law is the law and if he was still legally married to Taylor which he is, kinda defeats the purpose of going to court. Even if Ridge said he wanted to stay married to Brooke he would still have to file divorce papers in regards to his marriage to Taylor. This court would not even take that up in this hearing. The judge has to rule in accordance with the law. On another note does Omar believe that the u.s. courts will rule that his marriage is valid and that the judge will deport Taylor from her own country against her will? I'm sure Brooke is hoping for the judge to do just that. He and Brooke are both completely delusional. I can't wait for Brooke to find out that her marriage to ridge is invalid. She won't become Ridge's wife legally until after Taylor "dies" the second time. It just goes to show how Brooke's idea of destiny is non-existent. Destiny is finding Taylor on St Thomas. Destiny is Taylor coming back from the dead, not once but twice. Destiny isn't finding out that you actually don't have a child with Brooke. Destiny keeps trying to show Brooke that her and Ridge don't belong together but she's to busy living in fairytale land to see the writing on the wall.
@@nicolegough2828 oh don't bother with brookies.Watever u said is absolutely true. Ridge and Taylor were really destined. Brooke gives Ridges father and her son in law a baby bfore giving Ridge a child. After three kids it was comical, having a baby with Brooke. No destiny there.🤣
Happy Sunday everyone😊I haven’t watched yet so I’m not reading all the posts, I don’t want to know what happens! Thanks for posting, have a good day wherever you are I’m In Florida.
Cause Taylor doesn’t want a major scandal that she cannot win. She cannot WIN against Omar. Omar has diplomatic rights. Whether you choose to acknowledge that or not. The state dept won’t touch it either.
@@jasesherman7629Cause the US state dept doesn’t want to damage the good relationship between the US and Morocco. IF the matter can be settled quietly and amicably. Why cause a scandal? To the state dept, it’s a paltry thing when you’re dealing with diplomacy. Diplomacy trumps everything else.
@@sharonstewart4882yeah, and she's supposed to be a "neutral" viewer, when all she does is overproject way too much. We will have to read that on a daily basis now. How ridiculous can one be....😂😂
"It's a hard time, Sally, especially for my *oldest* son!" Really, Eric? Having to choose between two attractive and adoring wives because you can't have them both is "especially h ard" compared to what your second son (you remember, the blonde tall one, what's his name?) is currently going through, locked up in prison wrongfully ar rested for mu r d er and facing a possible death sentence while the woman he loves is risking her life every day and night by romancing and living with the true k i ller? Never was Thorne's status in the Forrester family more obvious. He would be better off at this point if he was adopted by a pack of wolves.
The multiple changes in actors from the role Thorne and the writers decisions were making him irrelevant. I never liked how ambivalent the Forresters were about Thorne. I think the problem from Eric was always, that he couldn't sleep with his favorite matress through Thorne (until much later and just for a moment). Thats the only reasons or moments he ever cared for any of his children with Stephanie. Thats why and when he tolerates Rigde, when Rigde's is with Brooke and the reason he will always push Rigde to Brooke. At this point or ever he never cared for one of his children with Stephanie and only will care for Brooke's when he can use them to hope to get logan back. He only cares for two seconds when he it's useful or benfiting him.
Happy Super Bowl Sunday B&B fans!!! I'm super excited for the Usher halftime show!! Usher was on The Bold and The Beautiful in 1998 as Raymond. 🏈🏈 When asked which wife he wants Ridge gave 😳 and 🤷....Wifegate continues😂....just like Highlander "There can be only one"
@@NewYorkNick0607 I heard there's going to be an ELF cosmetics commercial. I missed the one last year with Jennifer Coolidge. I'll be scoping for that, lol 😸
Exactly. I thought they went to court to determine which marriage is legal. Who Ridge is inclined to be with is something to be settled outside the court. I don't get what place the judge has in posing that question.
Kind of funny how nobody said what actually happened when he was married to Taylor in regards to the children… that Taylor was the one who refused to let Ridge see his own child (what they thought was his) and she repeatedly kept him from “the children” because she was SO jealous , petty and ridiculous acting about it.
@@NikkiHeat1215 check out episode 1499 season 7.. just one example of how Taylor was a jealous mess when married to Ridge and didn’t even want his child in their home! Instead she was laser focused on having a baby herself even so Bridget was a newborn and Ridge didn’t want to. Anyway, this was just an example of an episode that showcased her way of dealing with Ridge being a father.
There is the matter of Taylor's note left for Ridge that she and James were intimate at the cabin. When Taylor "died", Stephanie took the note and Ridge never saw it. When Taylor left, she was consumed with guilt over not having told Ridge the truth, thus leaving the note. But now it doesn't seem to bother her. Is that part of her selective amnesia? I believe that I remember that this does become an issue later in their relationship.
Taylor doesn't know that Stephanie took the letter before Ridge could see it. From her perspective, it would be a reasonable assumption that Ridge has read the letter long ago, and forgiven her long ago. But it makes no sense from a storytelling point of view that this wouldn't come into play now, and influence Ridge's decision.
this is what we call bad writing... even though Taylor became aware that Stephanie knew about the James/taylor incident, Taylor even had a discussion yesterday with James about his past romantic feelings, we still haven't seen her addressing it with RIdge or discussing it directly with her father, James and Stephanie...but alas 10 years later it became an issue with her. And it didnt became an issue when Ridge himself slept with Morgan earlier on!!
Why is everyone making it seem like brooke being with ridge and brooke was incestuous? Nothing was said when caroline married thorne after almost marrying ridge and then leaving thorne for ridge. Taylor also ends up with thorne and eric and no one says anything. Not to mention eric being with donna after she was with thorne.
If I were Taylor I will be highly insulted since she is the only one who wanted to fight to prove and keep the marriage to Ridge Ridge on the other hand did not initiate this court proceeding at all which should have been a red flag for Taylor.
I think I’d be worried if I were Taylor when Ridge spoke so glowingly of life with Brooke and the children. Although, Ridge was complimentary towards Taylor…he sounded like Brooke and the children saved him. Ridge doesn’t want to let go of what he has now….that seemed so obvious today in court. 😄
@@bettyhopsonshe already knows. She saw him at the palace. She was concerned about Brooke's children and she will be concerned about them . And she is there to claim her place, not to steal a man.
@@babs4848 Well said. And she has reason to hope as Ridge's reasoning has only been 1) How Brooke saved him 2) How important he is to the children. Gratitude and responsibility are taking precedence over love. (I'm not saying Ridge didn't love Brooke)
I can’t believe Eric he’s worried about Ridge really what about thorn thorns in jail fighting for his life and he didn’t even kill nobody worried about ridge because two women are fighting over him Whoopty Doo always ridge Ridge Ridge Ridge. Oh God get over it Ridge belongs with Taylor anyway Brooke was following him like, a little kitty cat behind him just rubbing his legs all the time
I agree with Sally, I do love that set. Eric’s going to have a memorable party there in the future! 😁 ….Eric comes out and says what we believe around here, that Ridge loves both Brooke and Taylor and could be happy with either!
1:06 "I'd know which half I'd like"- Darla 😸 Irrepressible, and so is Sally. 🤗 Surprised Eric can still live in the Houdini house, with all of it's memories of Sheila and a crime scene, but he's always been a glutton for punishment.😵💫 And again, no mention of Thorne and he doesn't ask Sally how Macy is doing. 🥴
The judge calls Mr. Denfords question *irrelevant* because they all know that Ridge would not have married Brooke if he had known that Taylor is still alive. But then the judge asks Ridge about his current feelings and with which one Ridge wants to go on with. While that might be now the most important question concerning that triangle drama, is that also a *relevant* question for that hearing and how the judge will rule?
I agree - I couldn't see where all these questions were going in order to determine what is basically a legal technicality. I don't really see the need for anyone but the lawyers to speak.
Oh come on. Eric and Brooke were definitely a super-couple - A poor valley girl and rich designer.. she was helping her mother cater at his mansion when they met.. in a strange twist of fate he was her mother's lover and she became his son's lover... thankfully destiny intervened and they were soon married. They had a son together... An evil ex-wife forged a letter and they got seperated. She then had a daughter but another evil woman swapped the paternity results. But destiny took charge again and she discovered the girl was indeed Eric's.. She ran to Barbados to celebrate 🍾🎉
Well there you have it, the Judge made it Ridge's decision. I guess Eric will send him on another mini vacation to think about it some more. *Yawn* This is getting old lol.
Now I've watched 2076 episodes, watching several episodes every day. Bold and the Beautiful - 1995 (S8 E325) FULL EPISODE 2076 These episodes are from 1995. Why do I have to wait for a new episode every day here on TH-cam? Since they are from 1995, I will never finish the entire series as long as I live with only one episode per day.
Ridge bonded with his father's two children because Bridget Forrester is also Eric Forrester child. Ridge was still grieving over Taylor's death and Throne persuade Ridge to marry Brooke Logan and wrote Taylor off as complete dead to stop Brooke Logan from marrying James Warwick!
@@liana2136 These days they are both in their sixties. They are not meant to look young and attractive. Hunter had a very tough life. She became pregnant at 17, suffered domestic violence, her daughter had cancer, then her son died. She then became involved in the sort of churches that don't exactly preach female self-worth and empowerment. It is little wonder she became unhealthily attached to her beauty and went too far in her quest to retain it. Katherine also had work done which says a lot about the unrealistic expectations placed on women in the entertainment industry. It is very sad.
To be fair, that hairstyle is aging Brooke up. I agree Taylor is better looking anyway, but you wouldn't have noticed that she looked particularly younger than Brooke at the time this episode came out. Back then, both of them had hairstyles that women their age then commonly wore. It's just that now, Taylor's hairstyle is still commonly worn today by women who are the same age as Taylor was then while Brooke's hairstyle is commonly worn today by women who are the same age as Brooke is TODAY, so your mind is playing tricks on you and aging Brooke up.
Isn't it true that if you'd known she wasn't dead you would have never have considered marriage with anyone else" The lawyer ignores that a certain letter hidden from Ridge, would have been read by the recipient if she wasn't dead, Ans anything is speculation from then on.
Apparently, the letter is a dropped storyline at this point. Erased from Taylor’s memory and conscience. 🤷♀️ Although, you make a good point…if Taylor hadn’t of died Ridge would have read the letter…and then would he have forgiven Taylor? We don’t know that for many years and other deaths to come…🤷♀️
@@bettyhopson Anything would have been possible, maybe he would have forgiven her, maybe not, and not familiar with how long divorces take, but perhaps he could have been married to Brooke even sooner than that and that marriage would have been legal, had Taylor not died.
Thorne and Macy save Thorne, which has nothing to do with Connor. Connor also losses the whole Brooke's married to Ridge case. It looks to me that he's not that good at his job in a court room. The only win he has under his belt is winning Brooke 51% and that took place in a boardroom. Now I don't know how he did with Dylan because I found that story not worth following.
Are the kids doing well in school? 😂😂😂 they don’t have anything to study. They’re too young. 😂😂😂 how can you not do well in nursery school and kindergarten.
This storyline is getting old. Ridge choose who you want to be with. It’s that EASYYYYYYY! Ready to get Brooke’s bedroom storyline. Let’s get back to the fashion sense
Brooke isn't a hideous woman so I'm wondering why she looks so homely in these scenes. She hasn't looked her best since she married Ridge. I don't know if it's the hair or the fact that she keeps making weird faces. Like I said, she is a beautiful woman so I'm confused about her appearance in these episodes.
Omar did manipulate the situation with Taylor but Taylor had ways to get away and did not. Both share the blame. She agreed to stay on the island with those children. I'm just trying to be objective.
That's not really true at all. Taylor absolutely tried to escape and was prevented from doing so each time. When you coerce someone enough, they become implicit with remaining in that situation. This is basic psychology--something William Bell obviously studied before writing these characters and stories. Taylor had to snap out of the ridiculous mindset she had forced on her when returning to LA and realizing her place.
Connor should be presenting the death certificate to the judge. That document is really being overlooked here. (Not that I am on Brooke’s side... really disliking the character these days. In fact, can’t stand man-chasing Taylor either.)
@@ambika66681Invalidating a death certificate is its own legal process. Brooke and Ridge's marriage happened after a presumption of death at the time. There is a legal document proving that. So their marriage has as much if not more legality than Tridge marriage. This is a case of Taylor snoozes, Taylor loses. The judge really needs to ask, where have you been hiding, Taylor??? Her marriage to Omar works against her all the more.
But she is alive and Tridge marriage can't be annulled.They were in love and happy with intimacy. They have to divorce. And the same with Omar. The marriage is not valid and can be annulled because they had no intimacy. So Brooke marriage can't be valid.
@babs4848 I think the expression, “possession is 9/10 of the law” applies here. Taylor for what ever reason disappeared. Life goes on... Brooke has him now.
The father and soon to be mother in law of the man in jail for murder & who’s facing the death penalty, get together to discuss the other sons difficult spot of having two wives .😂
Really a dumb question for the judge to ask? This is about the court deciding if Ridge’s marriage to Taylor is the legal one. 😮 Ridge remains with Brooke as these court proceeding are happening. Does Taylor really think that Ridge being ruled her husband…is going to be a difference maker for her? Obviously, Ridge is happy where he is at…with Brooke. 🥰
@@bettyhopson If he's really happy with Brooke and wants to stay with her, he wuld hav made a decision by now. Even after goin to a diff continent to think he's sayin he's not sure whom he wants. Even tho he's sleepin with Brooke he still can't make up his mind. He's known Brooke for almost a decade and has a child with her still hasn't made a decision but it's Taylor who's silly for holding on to hope.
Evidence to introduce to court: Your honor, when Taylor left she and Ridge were living in the guest house. He married Brooke and put her in a mansion. Since Taylor's return, Ridge remains in the house with Brooke, still sharing a bed and living as her husband. Meanwhile, Taylor is sharing a tiny apartment with her dad. Ridge has made zero effort to improve Taylor's living arrangements or to change Brooke's. Your honor, Ridge treats Brooke more like a wife. He treats Taylor like an old flame who came back to town.
Your honor Brooke threw a vase at Taylor and should be arrested for assault and attempted murder. While she's in jail, her children should remain in the custody of their real father, Eric. Oh yeah also her children are Ridge's siblings.

It’s simple thing really both Ridge and Taylor’s marriages to other people are null and void 🤷🏻♀️
And Taylor is criminally negligent because she knew Ridge was alive when she married Omar. I think it's called bigamy 🤷
Right. And I dont know why the judge at the last scene put that question in Ridge's head. It's irrelevant to the case. It's not the judge's business to know who wants to be with. This hearing only should be about whether Taylor and Ridge's marriage is valid and it is! All the other subsequent marriages (Brooke and Omar's) are technically invalid, no matter if one was done in another country.
@@50CCSHUNcorrect 💯
It will turn out that the judge will rule in Taylors favour then little Eric will slowly age and spiral out of control.
Period point blank🎯
@@teresatowey7578 Which is odd because he grows up within the 6-month waiting period for divorce.
James should've testified too! He was a witness to Taylor and Omar not having a real marriage and that she wasn't free to leave Morocco if she had chosen to!

Taylor's lawyer really dropped the ball here. There should have been a detailed explanation of Taylor being held captive at his home and made to watch Ridge and Brooke ftom a locked room...

So silly how Connor is now some Tridge champion. What happened to his feelings for Brooke? What happened to his rivalry with Ridge? "Stop me if my questions make you uncomfortable." Huh? The old Connor would've _relished_ making Ridge squirm on the stand. Brad Bell has just flattened all of these characters.
Yes exactly. It's all plot over character now and that's especially evident with Connor and James. They don't have perspectives or desires of their own. They're just there to turn the plot gears for Ridge/Brooke/Taylor. 🙄
I reacted to that too. _When_ did Connor ever worry about making Ridge uncomfortable?
There should be banjo music when Ridge said that he’s the father of one child and his father is the father of the other one😂😂
The fact that the judge didn't even react to that is jaw dropping. It says it all that Ridge willing admitted that he would be a great father to Bridget even if he stayed married to Taylor. That argument undercut Brooke's what about the children argument, which is her whole reason for Ridge picking her.

And in the future Brooke's argument will be "Ridge you don't have to be married to Taylor to be a father to Thomas" 🙄

Nice to see Eric and Steph are standing by what they said earlier about “Thorne being their top priority”, yet their more concerned with ridges drama of which wife he wants to be with than the son facing the death penalty
At least Stephanie has talked with/about Thorne and visited him. Eric has no concerns for Thorne or any of his other children only Rigde, or actual Brooke. Everyone knows Eric only cares about himself and the hoegans and gives Rigde just a thought when he is Brooke and can sleep with Brooke through Rigde.
Credit to Sally though for knowing that Eric would care more about Ridge and his Pick Me's than Thorne and his prison woes.
The judge should have asked Ridge that question before the proceedings even began.😂🤣
probably but he also wanted to know the story first
Sally is a continuous hoot😂😂. By the way, WHEN! when will the Writers find time to send Eric and Stephanie down to the jailhouse to visit their 'Red-headed Stepchild'???
Ridge should be ashamed to utter the words “ one is my father child, and the other is my child” shameful!

*Sally the Storyteller*
Sally displays two storytelling modes in this episode. First she acts as the *Greek Chorus,* commenting on the main action in the A storyline (first with Darla and then with Eric). And when she says, "this isn't a catfight" (12:22) she's basically echoing my argument from episode 2074 that cat-fighting _isn't_ appropriate for Taylor and Brooke. Indeed she defends the dignity and strength of these women and in so doing, she makes the case for a romantic triangle storyline. Then Sally shift gears and tries to become a *Plot-Driver,* offering to take Eric down her long winding road: "I'd be happy to do the driving" (18:56). It's like she's trying to jump start _her own_ romantic triangle storyline with these overtures to Eric and side-swipes at Stephanie. Unfortunately for Sally, such a storyline will kick off but not in the way she hopes. Once again her attempt to drive the plot will end with her under the tires.
Great observation! And yes, it is as if she is using the Taylor/Ridge/Brooke triangle as a way to encourage Eric to start a triangle of his own with her and Stephanie. She is describing the triangle in a much more dignified way than it actually deserves, as if trying to "sell" the idea to Eric. And it is possible to draw a straight line from her "what this must be doing to Eric" comment and her advances later on in the episode - she senses that Eric is feeling vulnerable at the moment because _he_ doesn't have two women fighting over him, and so Sally sets out to give him just that.
By the way, I LOVE your final sentence!
Great observations Nick. I like your close-readings of Sally's lines.
Thanks *Annie* and *Jase!* ❤❤
@@annieo6527 Yes exactly there's a connection between Sally's commentary on the A storyline and what she's trying to achieve in her own storyline (impress Eric with her views on love and life). Sally is being used in two ways here: there's what the _writers_ want to achieve and what the _character_ wants to achieve. The writers want to defend what could seem like a demeaning cat-fight between Taylor and Brooke and so they're using the old "character defense" trick with Sally. While their attorneys are defending their positions in court, Sally is defending Taylor and Brooke's dignity and the integrity of the storyline in the Court of King Eric. That's what the writers want. But Sally _the character_ also wants Eric and so she's using this situation to show him a different/softer/compassionate side to her.
But I'm not sure either one is effective because 1) Sally is an unreliable narrator and doesn't have a lot of dignity and integrity as a character to bestow on Taylor and Brooke and 2) while she might _amuse_ Eric, Sally isn't actually turning him on.
@@NewYorkNick0607 yes, it doesn't really work because when _Sally_ says something is dignified we don't necessarily believe that coming from a known thief who used to get ar rested in drag. Sally is a lot of fun but she is hardly the right person to judge whether someone is or isn't making a fool of themselves. Also, it isn't true because we have _seen_ Taylor and Brooke lose dignity in this storyline already (especially Taylor), and I would guess most viewers think it is degrading for both characters to go through all this trouble to be married to a man who can't even answer the simple question of who he wants to live with.
Also note the subtle connection between Sally and Darla discussing Macy's "double engagement" and then pivoting to Ridge and Taylor's "double marriages".
Think of how bizarre and humiliating that would be to say you're raising your father's child. 🤢🙄

*Who's Ready for Another Scoop?* 🍨😋
This comic scene with Eric and Sally is closer to John McCook’s real life personality. IRL he’s a _hoot._ Very funny and jokey and quite the gossip. While we mostly got behind the scenes dirt from the crew, every journalist knew you could sometimes get a good scoop from John or get him to confirm something you heard. Her was so fun and loose-lipped that he sometimes let stuff slip without even meaning to. And for a long time the cast had no idea John was regularly selling them out to journalists (not in a malicious way). Remember all those stories about Kimberlin Brown and Hunter Tylo’s falling out? It was _John McCook_ who confirmed a lot of that story for us! If you don’t know, when journalists break stories and want to keep an important source anonymous, they’ll phrase it like this: “Hunter Tylo was upset with Kimberlin Brown for taking Michael Tylo’s side in the divorce,” *a source close to the actors confirmed.* And that's how most of us reported it but one non-soap magazine wrote it as *“a long time cast member confirmed.”* That was way too specific and everyone figured out the source was John and KB and HT were NOT happy with him! After the story broke, HT would talk about it openly herself to try to control the story and give her side but she was ticked off that it leaked and that John confirmed it.
John has called Eric an idiot several times 😂 he’s a great man.
Ooh, that was a great scoop! Thank you so much for sharing! It does explain the lighthearted playful chemistry that John and Darlene have in their scenes, for example during the Rotterdam storyline - they both seemed to be having so much fun together.
It's really remarkable how well JMC hides this humorous side of himself (for the most part) when playing Eric. It usually only shows in his scenes with Darlene and occasionally with Susan.
You mentioned before that Darlene was typecast and very much like her character in real life. Who in the cast would you say were the most, and the least, like their characters?
Love it! Thanks for another scoop @CBosten! So funny that John is so gossipy. Eric isn't like that at all but you can see a lighter side to him in scenes with Sally. Did he get along well with HT and KB before they realized he was the source?
Oh man, who thought John was a snitch and he created Drama behind the scenes where should have been none. What a sellout. Fits his character. 😂
Never liked his character.
Not really impressed with his acting. He isn't really good.
@@sharonstewart4882speaking of JMC's "gossipy" side, there was an interview a few years ago with JMC and KKL where they were asked to comment on past and present co-stars. It was a lot of fun to read. One thing that stood out to me was JMC saying about Jeff Trachta that "he didn't suffer strong personalities". I couldn't help but wonder what the story was there, and who the "strong personality" was. It seemed like such an oddly specific thing to say among all the usual "he/she is a great actor and so much fun to work with".
(KKL's comment on HT was also kind of telling: "Outside of work, we never really had a friendship. We had more of an acquaintanceship.")
Why all this questioning about feelings? Either Ridge's marriage to Taylor is valid or it isn't. It should be a strictly legal decision.
I said that too! The judge shouldn’t even be worried about that…. I was like WHAT 😂 😮
Outside the court hearing the concern was " who is the legal wife"
Inside the court hearing the issue is "who Ridge wants".😂
@@babs4848 LOL, you're right! 😂
You are right…what do feelings got to do with who you are legally married to? That’s determined by the paper work…🤷♀️
And even then that can be changed according to your feelings…but you need the ruling first! It’s a simple a legal matter at the moment…😮
Wasn’t there a death certificate involved? I’m not rooting for either side, but since there was a death certificate, that is the legal basis for the Bridge marriage.
"Put a part in the Red Sea, throw a couple of waves in it!" ❤SALLY😂
"It's a hard time...especially for my older son, Ridge." Dude, seriously? Thorne is only in jail facing a life sentence for murder and Ridge is only having to choose between two beautiful women and secretly loving the tug-of-war.

It's a Weak Men Conference in this courtroom:
- Omar, who can only convince a woman to stay with him if he blackmails her, put anxiety in her thoughts and flash his Prince of Eternia or some kind of ish card;
- Connor, who fights for her ex real love to still be her husband, even if she betrayed Connor and played with his emotions;
- Ridge - last AND least, since Taylor comeback he didn't show any emotion towards her in my eyes, but he didn't show any towards Brooke too. Maybe he should play a person who is in emotional turmoil, but he comes of as bland, stupid and boring. Taylor girl, you should leave that behind. Omar, Ridge, Brooke, all of them, find some piece of mind (and Pierce Peterson in future).

Not at all, unfortunately. They are whitewashing Brooke's relationship with Eric .

@@annieo6527 and Omar must already know.
For Omar it can't have been new information.
Omar had a file about the Forresters. He had to know that little Eric has been born during he BERIC marriage, but we also had Omar reminding Taylor that Brooke and Ridge share a child. (ep. 1909) when Omar tried to convince Taylor that she would never have Ridge's full heart. (That most certainly will be your plight. Married to a man who cannot and will not forget the mother of his child.).
The judge might have had worse, but I guess he also knew from Connor's appeal about the complicated paternity of the children. (Or might have read about the Eric-Brooke marriage and divorce in the past) .
Taylor's lawyer looked as if he had never heard about it before.
@@mara4450 Mara, please dont rationalise everything :) i am putting sarcasm in my comments always.
The judge asking who Ridge he wants to stay married to is kind of irrelevant in this situation. The law is the law and if he was still legally married to Taylor which he is, kinda defeats the purpose of going to court. Even if Ridge said he wanted to stay married to Brooke he would still have to file divorce papers in regards to his marriage to Taylor. This court would not even take that up in this hearing. The judge has to rule in accordance with the law. On another note does Omar believe that the u.s. courts will rule that his marriage is valid and that the judge will deport Taylor from her own country against her will? I'm sure Brooke is hoping for the judge to do just that. He and Brooke are both completely delusional. I can't wait for Brooke to find out that her marriage to ridge is invalid. She won't become Ridge's wife legally until after Taylor "dies" the second time. It just goes to show how Brooke's idea of destiny is non-existent. Destiny is finding Taylor on St Thomas. Destiny is Taylor coming back from the dead, not once but twice. Destiny isn't finding out that you actually don't have a child with Brooke. Destiny keeps trying to show Brooke that her and Ridge don't belong together but she's to busy living in fairytale land to see the writing on the wall.

Never was Thorne's status in the Forrester family more obvious. He would be better off at this point if he was adopted by a pack of wolves.
The multiple changes in actors from the role Thorne and the writers decisions were making him irrelevant.
I never liked how ambivalent the Forresters were about Thorne.
I think the problem from Eric was always, that he couldn't sleep with his favorite matress through Thorne (until much later and just for a moment).
Thats the only reasons or moments he ever cared for any of his children with Stephanie. Thats why and when he tolerates Rigde, when Rigde's is with Brooke and the reason he will always push Rigde to Brooke.
At this point or ever he never cared for one of his children with Stephanie and only will care for Brooke's when he can use them to hope to get logan back.

Kind of funny how nobody said what actually happened when he was married to Taylor in regards to the children… that Taylor was the one who refused to let Ridge see his own child (what they thought was his) and she repeatedly kept him from “the children” because she was SO jealous , petty and ridiculous acting about it.
Huh?
@@NikkiHeat1215 check out episode 1499 season 7.. just one example of how Taylor was a jealous mess when married to Ridge and didn’t even want his child in their home! Instead she was laser focused on having a baby herself even so Bridget was a newborn and Ridge didn’t want to. Anyway, this was just an example of an episode that showcased her way of dealing with Ridge being a father.
Big deal, Darla Put a part in it, spread a Little Waves. RIP Darlene Conley, you are sorely missed!!!
There is the matter of Taylor's note left for Ridge that she and James were intimate at the cabin. When Taylor "died", Stephanie took the note and Ridge never saw it. When Taylor left, she was consumed with guilt over not having told Ridge the truth, thus leaving the note. But now it doesn't seem to bother her. Is that part of her selective amnesia? I believe that I remember that this does become an issue later in their relationship.
I think it only comes up after Taylor goes missing the second time.
Taylor doesn't know that Stephanie took the letter before Ridge could see it. From her perspective, it would be a reasonable assumption that Ridge has read the letter long ago, and forgiven her long ago.
But it makes no sense from a storytelling point of view that this wouldn't come into play now, and influence Ridge's decision.
this is what we call bad writing... even though Taylor became aware that Stephanie knew about the James/taylor incident, Taylor even had a discussion yesterday with James about his past romantic feelings, we still haven't seen her addressing it with RIdge or discussing it directly with her father, James and Stephanie...but alas 10 years later it became an issue with her. And it didnt became an issue when Ridge himself slept with Morgan earlier on!!
@@greggelyes, and the fact that Stephanie knows ,could be seen by Taylor as Ridge told her mother about that letter.
@@babs4848 correct.
Why is everyone making it seem like brooke being with ridge and brooke was incestuous? Nothing was said when caroline married thorne after almost marrying ridge and then leaving thorne for ridge.

If I were Taylor I will be highly insulted since she is the only one who wanted to fight to prove and keep the marriage to Ridge Ridge on the other hand did not initiate this court proceeding at all which should have been a red flag for Taylor.

The judge calls Mr. Denfords question *irrelevant* because they all know that Ridge would not have married Brooke if he had known that Taylor is still alive. But then the judge asks Ridge about his current feelings and with which one Ridge wants to go on with.
While that might be now the most important question concerning that triangle drama, is that also a *relevant* question for that hearing and how the judge will rule?
I agree - I couldn't see where all these questions were going in order to determine what is basically a legal technicality. I don't really see the need for anyone but the lawyers to speak.

Brooke looks just awful.
I can't believe she's half of a super-couple!
Bridge never deserved the term "supercouple" in the first place. They're beyond boring and shallow to watch😂😂
Oh come on. Eric and Brooke were definitely a super-couple - A poor valley girl and rich designer.. she was helping her mother cater at his mansion when they met.. in a strange twist of fate he was her mother's lover and she became his son's lover... thankfully destiny intervened and they were soon married. They had a son together... An evil ex-wife forged a letter and they got seperated. She then had a daughter but another evil woman swapped the paternity results. But destiny took charge again and she discovered the girl was indeed Eric's.. She ran to Barbados to celebrate 🍾🎉

Ridge has always loved Brooke.
@@galoutlaw8089 In this destiny fairtale of what really happened, the two evil people are indeed Brooke and Eric.
Brooke looks rough and feral in these episodes 😲🦝
indeed
Downright boyish.
Rode hard and put out wet.
Be👀ke looks like she could be Tiger king’s twin sister.
Lol. Sally has been in a house where there was a risk that a murder to be committed almost twice. Sheila would say: remember me ??
Sally is the best 😂
Well there you have it, the Judge made it Ridge's decision. I guess Eric will send him on another mini vacation to think about it some more. *Yawn* This is getting old lol.
The judge should really care less who Ridge wants to be with….. what a question. 😂
😂
So True…👍🤷♀️
He might have well added,
“The dirty blonde or the stunning brunette” and then winked.
Sally looks great in blue.
Yes, that was a beautiful color on her!
The scene with Sally flirting with Eric gets the edge off of the Taylor-Ridge-Brooke-Omar hearing.
Taylor looks concerned about Ridge; Ridge looks concerned about the children; Brooke looks concerned about herself.
😂😅🤣
like always
💯😂
Now I've watched 2076 episodes, watching several episodes every day. Bold and the Beautiful - 1995 (S8 E325) FULL EPISODE 2076 These episodes are from 1995. Why do I have to wait for a new episode every day here on TH-cam? Since they are from 1995, I will never finish the entire series as long as I live with only one episode per day.
Ridge bonded with his father's two children because Bridget Forrester is also Eric Forrester child. Ridge was still grieving over Taylor's death and Throne persuade Ridge to marry Brooke Logan and wrote Taylor off as complete dead to stop Brooke Logan from marrying James Warwick!
Wow. Taylor being treated like a piece of meat.
Really I would think it’s Ridge being treated like a piece of meat! He is the one being fought over, it’s always poor Taylor 🙄🙄🙄
She is totally worth it ❤
Such beautiful expressions, I'm sure even the judge is mesmerized!
Sally would definitely have some fun in the dungeon with Eric. Lol
Why is Trish as quiet as Brooke in this episode?
I'm wondering too! Trish does disappear from time to time! Not the same without her, but she always comes back!
@@Esi-741 You're here. ❤
When they do the closeups of Taylor and Brooke you can see just how much BETTER and younger Taylor looks.
Uh, these days they are in a race for who looks the worst. Hunter wins, sorry to say.
@@liana2136 These days they are both in their sixties. They are not meant to look young and attractive. Hunter had a very tough life. She became pregnant at 17, suffered domestic violence, her daughter had cancer, then her son died. She then became involved in the sort of churches that don't exactly preach female self-worth and empowerment. It is little wonder she became unhealthily attached to her beauty and went too far in her quest to retain it. Katherine also had work done which says a lot about the unrealistic expectations placed on women in the entertainment industry. It is very sad.
To be fair, that hairstyle is aging Brooke up. I agree Taylor is better looking anyway, but you wouldn't have noticed that she looked particularly younger than Brooke at the time this episode came out. Back then, both of them had hairstyles that women their age then commonly wore. It's just that now, Taylor's hairstyle is still commonly worn today by women who are the same age as Taylor was then while Brooke's hairstyle is commonly worn today by women who are the same age as Brooke is TODAY, so your mind is playing tricks on you and aging Brooke up.
I don’t see 👀 it 😂
Isn't it true that if you'd known she wasn't dead you would have never have considered marriage with anyone else"
The lawyer ignores that a certain letter hidden from Ridge, would have been read by the recipient if she wasn't dead, Ans anything is speculation from then on.
His words ignore that. The lawyer does not know about that letter and the content.
Apparently, the letter is a dropped storyline at this point. Erased from Taylor’s memory and conscience. 🤷♀️
Although, you make a good point…if Taylor hadn’t of died Ridge would have read the letter…and then would he have forgiven Taylor? We don’t know that for many years and other deaths to come…🤷♀️
@@bettyhopson Anything would have been possible, maybe he would have forgiven her, maybe not, and not familiar with how long divorces take, but perhaps he could have been married to Brooke even sooner than that and that marriage would have been legal, had Taylor not died.
@@mara4450 Taylor wouldn't have told him.
@@marn25 She has already told him in the letter 🙄
Ridge looks laughably stupid in the last close-up. Very SNL Californians:)
In the future please warn us when the screen is switching from a Taylor close up to a Brooke…
😫 my eyes! My EYES!
I agree tay😂 is hard to look at 👀 at times with her nose is stuck up in the air 😂😂😂😂😂
@@cathyarnette2887
Whut
Eric never spoke truer words. Demeaning is what it is having these two women fighting over a man. Any man.
Sure Darla doesn't want the 😐 Ridge's half!
😂😂😂
Sally acts like a h o o k e r. 😂😂
Why is corporate attorney Connor now representing Thorne in a criminal case and Brooke in a. Family court case?
And obviously doing a subpar job in both cases...
Thorne and Macy save Thorne, which has nothing to do with Connor. Connor also losses the whole Brooke's married to Ridge case. It looks to me that he's not that good at his job in a court room. The only win he has under his belt is winning Brooke 51% and that took place in a boardroom. Now I don't know how he did with Dylan because I found that story not worth following.
@@nicolegough2828He almost lost that too but Stephanie dropped charges and saved him.
@@galoutlaw8089 So basically Connor is a horrible lawyer.
Never on earth, if I were a Forrester, I would use a Logan attorney for my legal issues!
Eric.. Ridge is having a hard time right now because he is married to 2 women but in the meantime Thorn is still in jail. 🤦🏼♀️
I wonder who is the real prince here, Ridge or Omar ?!😀
Omar is probably so jealous of Ridge, at this point.
Sally was funny
Are the kids doing well in school? 😂😂😂 they don’t have anything to study. They’re too young. 😂😂😂 how can you not do well in nursery school and kindergarten.
This storyline is getting old. Ridge choose who you want to be with. It’s that EASYYYYYYY! Ready to get Brooke’s bedroom storyline. Let’s get back to the fashion sense
Brooke isn't a hideous woman so I'm wondering why she looks so homely in these scenes. She hasn't looked her best since she married Ridge. I don't know if it's the hair or the fact that she keeps making weird faces. Like I said, she is a beautiful woman so I'm confused about her appearance in these episodes.
Omar did manipulate the situation with Taylor but Taylor had ways to get away and did not. Both share the blame. She agreed to stay on the island with those children. I'm just trying to be objective.
That's not really true at all. Taylor absolutely tried to escape and was prevented from doing so each time. When you coerce someone enough, they become implicit with remaining in that situation. This is basic psychology--something William Bell obviously studied before writing these characters and stories.
Taylor had to snap out of the ridiculous mindset she had forced on her when returning to LA and realizing her place.
Connor should be presenting the death certificate to the judge. That document is really being overlooked here. (Not that I am on Brooke’s side... really disliking the character these days. In fact, can’t stand man-chasing Taylor either.)
The death certificate becomes invalid when the person isn't really dead.Hence Bridge marriage is just as invalid as the death certificate.
@@ambika66681Invalidating a death certificate is its own legal process. Brooke and Ridge's marriage happened after a presumption of death at the time. There is a legal document proving that. So their marriage has as much if not more legality than Tridge marriage. This is a case of Taylor snoozes, Taylor loses. The judge really needs to ask, where have you been hiding, Taylor??? Her marriage to Omar works against her all the more.
But she is alive and Tridge marriage can't be annulled.They were in love and happy with intimacy. They have to divorce. And the same with Omar. The marriage is not valid and can be annulled because they had no intimacy. So Brooke marriage can't be valid.
@@babs4848They were happy? But about 99% of their conversations were about Brooke! 😂
@babs4848
I think the expression, “possession is 9/10 of the law” applies here. Taylor for what ever reason disappeared. Life goes on... Brooke has him now.
The father and soon to be mother in law of the man in jail for murder & who’s facing the death penalty,
get together to discuss the other sons difficult spot of having two wives .😂
😂😂
Wow Ridge gets some b alls and answer the question…. For once in your life 😂😂😂😂
Really a dumb question for the judge to ask? This is about the court deciding if Ridge’s marriage to Taylor is the legal one. 😮
Ridge remains with Brooke as these court proceeding are happening. Does Taylor really think that Ridge being ruled her husband…is going to be a difference maker for her? Obviously, Ridge is happy where he is at…with Brooke. 🥰
Ridge: I thought about it a lot, and all I can say is "It's a mess"
@@bettyhopson If he's really happy with Brooke and wants to stay with her, he wuld hav made a decision by now. Even after goin to a diff continent to think he's sayin he's not sure whom he wants. Even tho he's sleepin with Brooke he still can't make up his mind. He's known Brooke for almost a decade and has a child with her still hasn't made a decision but it's Taylor who's silly for holding on to hope.
When Is The Bold & The Beautiful Season 9 Starts
When Is The Bold & The Beautiful Season 11 Starts
Evidence to introduce to court:
Your honor, when Taylor left she and Ridge were living in the guest house. He married Brooke and put her in a mansion.
Since Taylor's return, Ridge remains in the house with Brooke, still sharing a bed and living as her husband.
Meanwhile, Taylor is sharing a tiny apartment with her dad.
Ridge has made zero effort to improve Taylor's living arrangements or to change Brooke's.
Your honor, Ridge treats Brooke more like a wife. He treats Taylor like an old flame who came back to town.
Your honor Brooke threw a vase at Taylor and should be arrested for assault and attempted murder. While she's in jail, her children should remain in the custody of their real father, Eric. Oh yeah also her children are Ridge's siblings.
@@sharonstewart4882😂😂👏👏
@@sharonstewart4882 Your Honor! At this point in time, neither the U S Supreme Court nor California state laws recognize the union between *a male and a male with a bad haircut* as *legal*, thereby the marriage of Ridge Forrester and Brock Logan should be declared *invalid*!

Infact ur honour, Ridge's father married Brooke before this but the son is still not sure😂!! After almost a decade of sleeping with Brooke, Ridge is still not sure and it's driving brooke bonkers, so before she actually physically harms Taylor again, like a juvenile he's here so that u can decide whom is it he really wants !! That's all ur honour !!😆🤣
Answer the question already Ridge! Bridge ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ forever
🤢🤢🤢🤢
Connor only asked about the children. He didn't dare adress anything else. Atleast Taylor's lawyer addressed the "love" in their marriage and how the children would be taken care of.
Brooke's stans have more faith in Brooke than her own lawyer 😂
Eric has a new place
He's not afraid that crazy Sheila will come back?!
Omar kidnapped her
Held her hostage
Built a whole ass secret room to have her watch ridge and brooke love on each other
Grapped her when she tried to reveal herself
Yea omar is a winner
Well, if you want a man who will get construction projects done quickly around the house, Omar is clearly the one. 😂
GO AHEAD AND PICK BROOKE

So according to Taylors lawyers ridge never would have married brooke had he known taylor was alive because they were so inlove then why did taylor marry a literal cruel stranger when she knew she was alive (😅😅)
