Yes, I love them together! ❤And it is quite unique for soaps that an on-screen relationship can be allowed to develop like this for years and even decades.
@@annieo6527They we’re the best mother and daughter on the show it really looked beautiful and real and Sally was a real mom for Thorne, he really needed love from her, because he never gets it from his family
Each time Stéphanie went gloating over at Brooke's on some ridge's decision things didn't turn out right for her😂😂😂 but gush how much we love these fights between them
he did break her heart but the classy way she acted no clinging no begging just like Dear Caroline always classy and elegent even in her sorrow. she just waited till he is gone to cry what a painful moment he made the wrong decision choosing the wrong woman for the wron reasons
Recap from yesterday (episode 2093 from the 8th minute mark): 👑_"now that you've decided you must have a wonderful sense of relief"_ 😐 _"No relief isn't part of the equation."_ 👑 _"Why not you mean you've made the wrong decision now?"_ 😐_Mother the bottom line is someone will get hurt, no actually *everyone is going to get hurt* 👑 _"Look this is a major life decision, don't rush into it"_ 😐 *_"Look I know what I have to do here"_* (What he has to do, not what he wants to do) Key: 👑 - Stephanie 😐 - Brooke
Heartbreaking to see sweet Taylor show such composure and dignity in front of Ridge and then break down when he closes the door. Taylor has been wronged. It won’t take long before Ridge realizes what he gave up.
Instead of going to see her son who just got out of prison, Stephanie goes to see Brooke. 😑 The only way Thorne can get his mother's attention are: • 🔫 Ridge • get involved with Brooke
How will he get Eric's and Rigde's attention or Brooke's? Be fair an acknowledge, that Eric, Rigde, kristen, Felicia and Brooke don't care about him or mentioning him. Stephanie has at least mentioned him recently. Brads writing is bad. Nobody seems to wanna work with JT.
😂😂😂So true! Thorne gets involved with Brooke and suddenly he's Stephanie's precious baby boy who needs to be protected, after she literally forgot him in prison a few years earlier.
@@andream5998 nobody can get Eric's attention (not even his own kids). You would have to be a young pretty (or fairly pretty enough) thing, preferably someone who dated his son, to get his attention. So Thorne's out there. Ridge has the attention of a flea and thinking for him is tough work, so he can only spend time worrying about which woman he wants. He will, however, give Thorne his undivided attention when he thinks Thorne is moving in on Taylor. 🤭 And Brooke, well, like Ridge, has a one track mind. So Thorne will only get her attention when she needs to team up with him again to keep Taylor away from Ridge so she can seduce him back to her.
It's the next day and Thorne is still wearing the same clothes he wore when he was released the night before, meaning that instead of going home to his family and getting some much needed sleep in a real bed, he went straight from solitary confinement (with an upset stomach) to spending the entire night in the hospital waiting area comforting Macy. That's amore. Meanwhile, his parents and brother are so occupied with the tale of two wives that they neither know nor care that he is free. That's not so much amore.
*Stephanie's Reliable Narration* Under Bill Bell, Stephanie was always a reliable narrator who could predict the future, including Ridge’s future. She correctly predicted that Brooke would lose Ridge if she kept delaying her divorce from Eric, she correctly predicted that Ridge would stay with Taylor during the Belief storyline, and she correctly predicted that Ridge would not go to Europe with Brooke. But this time she is completely wrong about Ridge’s choice - she is unable to “read” him and it’s a major change for the character. Stephanie is now an unreliable narrator of Ridge’s storyline and it reflects Brad Bell’s restructuring of the show. Now that Ridge and Brooke are the main couple, Stephanie can’t have special insight into Ridge because she is no longer tasked with supporting and maintaining that pillar of the show’s foundation (as did with Ridge and Taylor). Instead of oracle, she is now obstacle. At the same time, as I wrote in episode 1905, Stephanie often feels as if she’s narrating Bill Bell’s vision for the show and holding down the fort for the old writing regime. She wants to reconstruct his balancing act where Brooke had the company and Stephanie (via Taylor) had Ridge, which made Stephanie’s feud with Brooke more compelling and drove better storylines. When she describes Brooke’s sordid history at 14:30, she’s reminding the viewer of Bill Bell’s conception of the show where Brooke’s marriage to Eric constituted an “original sin” that prevented her from ever fully having Ridge. Brad Bell has tried to whitewash that history in order to make Ridge and Brooke seem less icky and more like a perfect couple (for example there are almost no scenes between Eric and Brooke anymore and no one objects when she refers to the children as Ridge’s). But Stephanie won’t let that history be erased: her incorrect prediction of what Ridge will do is also a lament for what he _should_ do. When it comes to Ridge’s storyline, Stephanie is no longer predicting the future but recalling the past.
Every true. For a long while she will not predigt correctly the future what Rigde choose and will do (probabalynever again). And when he does choose Taylor in a couple of years, it will be out of blue and at a surprise of her. Bell sr was, is and will be the better write for the show in general and particular for the character Stephanie. Bill jr will erase so much history and things we have actually seen, that b&b will look like a complete different Show and certainly not a better one. B&b pik and best years/seasons are already behind us. From here it will get worst.
Yes, even in 1995 we see the first hints of what I mentioned will _really_ take hold of the show in the upcoming Season 13 - a kind of antagonism between the writing and the characters (who are used to being reliable but now the writing sides against them). But Stephanie's reliability as a narrator has really been damaged already, and it will get worse in 1996 (the paternity/Barbados storyline) where again she is reading the situation all wrong. Under Brad 🔔, Stephanie is no longer the show's "stable horizon". (You know, like when you have motion sickness you need a point of reference, and looking at the horizon will usually do it. Without that, a kind of vertigo sets in in the storytelling because we no longer know what is up and down.)
At least for me, Steph is someone who keeps true to what actually happened in the show, whereas everyone else seems to forget so that we can root for what is clearly an icky family dynamic between Ridge, Brooke and those poor children.
I believe Nick you are wrong for one respect. There is a consistent theme between the 2 writers: When Stephanie rubs it in that Brooke is about to lose something or EVERYTHING, she makes the wrong prediction. Remember when Brooke was about to "lose everything" and SF came to her place and said she will lose Eric, Ridge, and her job? Then, here comes CD to the rescue and lesser degree Ridge(he picked up the wrong copy of the signed agreement). Again, Brooke went from rags to riches. Now, SF is rubbing it in and she will make the wrong prediction again. Now this is karma coming back to haunt SF! Brooke went from almost losing everything to having everything(at least for the time being). I can´t wait(again) to see that smug look being wiped off SF face when she finds out her visit to Bigbear was for naught!
@@robbio40 I think the two things aren't really contradictions. Bill Bell's Stephanie was a good judge of character, but she was not a fortune-teller. She could predict people's actions based on their psychology, but not chance events (like Ridge signing the wrong copy). It is only recently that Stephanie has started _reading people_ wrong.
Stephanie's hatred for Brooke is far greater than her love for Thorne ... at a time like this she should be with Thorne and be grateful for his release ! Not visiting Ridge and Brooke !
From 14:29 Steph takes us on a trip down memory lane to remind us of the things that Brad 🔔 wants so desperately for us to forget. I like she acknowledges that Brooke is to blame completely at 14:38 Brooke is acting like the victim as per usual. She really thought dangling those Forrester shares like a 🥕would get her to accept her. I like the music cue from 14:48 as Steph describes how Brooke bedded her son (Ridge), her husband (Eric), and back to her son. Then there's Brooke acting shocked as if Stephanie is gossiping about someone who isn't even in the room. Long before Bridget Brooke was im preg nated by a father and son in the same year. correction Steph, Brooke bedded Ridge before she even divorced his father Eric 14:55
*Brooke:* “For the children. For the children. For the children…” *Ridge:* “I chose Brooke because of the children.” *Stans:* “Who said anything about the children?! That’s not why he chose Brooke!” 🥴
I don't know, they ll never admit but they like comparing the choice after Thomas with this one! So maybe they see some truth about this one But, as usual, they mistake the comparision, because the right one is between Bridget (after the first paternity) and Thomas...😜
We ask the same thing about all of you. Everyone had their own opinions. But obviously the proof is in the pudding bc Brooke is still there and Taylor is gone.
@@melissacannici9722 That KKL didn't get offers for other parts and had to stay on the same show where s he was b * * * king the head writer isn't the own you think it is.
@@memento-_mori maybe you're right. And what exactly is Hunter Tylo doing these days??? Oh alright nothing. Her biggest claim to fame is b&b and suing aaron spelling when he fired her from melrose place. So spare me. Regardless to whatever you think about KKLs character, she is a mainstay on b&b and has been for almost 40 years.
Watching "The Birds" last week, & lo & behold:: Miss Sally Spectra, aka Darlene Conley, was the Waitress! Watching "Little House on the Prairie" last night, there she was playing a mean boss in a Boarding House ("A Wiser Heart" episode). I grew up watching her play wicked Rose DeVille on "Y&R" then Miss Spectra on "B&B". 😊Darlene Conley truly was larger than life, thanks to her vast career, we get to enjoy her talent endlessly. 😔R.I.P. DC😔
Whenever Ridge dumps Brooke or Taylor, they cry like it's the end of the world. Yet, they both get their rotating "shifts" with him. The man is a revolving door. Of course, when viewers saw this for the first time, they were made to believe it was the end for either Tridge or Bridge. I do feel for Taylor, but she should have told Ridge as soon as she came to LA instead of self-sacrificing for him, then fighting for him and then having to give him up. Still it's a roller coaster for her and just when she thinks she's got it all, she loses. Regarding Brooke, I'm glad Stephanie gave it to her straight. While Brooke and the Logans go for what they want regardless of others' feelings, they seem shocked when their choices have consequences. That's where Stephanie had to color it out for Brooke. Yes, you stole the company, took my husband and chased my son---of course I can't wait to get rid of you.
I like how Stephanie summarizes the ways in which Brooke has negatively affected her family. Boom, boom, boom. I look forward to the many conflicts these two will continue to have. Stephanie knows how to psychologically pick at Brooke’s insecurity. Let the games continue. Team Stephanie. 👑
Respectfully, Brooke didn’t put herself between a bullet and Stephanie. Now that would have been admirable. Saying she’d take the bullet along with Ridge felt like grandstanding to me.
*Ridge:* _"Not the least of which are the children. I've made my decision._ 18:24 _"The Children_- has toppled _"Seven 7 Long Years"_ to be number 1 bestseller. Taylor isn't happy, but she accepts Ridge's decision 18:59 He even expected Taylor to beg and grovel the way Brooke normally does 19:52 Brooke always does the opposite, case in point when Brooke had asked Ridge to choose whom he wanted to be with during a trip to Monte Carlo. In episode 1568 Ridge chose to stay married to his beautiful wife to which Brooke replied _"But you don't love her, I know you don't. You can't possibly deny that."_ 🥴😵💫 (6: 03) When Ridge said _"Brooke, Taylor is my wife, I do love her"_ her reply was _"But you don't love her as much as you love me Ridge, we share a very special bond between us"_ (6: 12) Then Brooke shed tears from one eye because a married man chose to honor his promise to his wife
What's with Brooke's stunned face expressions when she hears Stephanie pointing out what her *love/home wrecking life* looked all these years? Like she was hearing about another person😂
In season 10 whn she proposes to Grant to get Ridge back🤢, the same way Stephanie comes to destroy her❤, her exact words were "I'm an old fashioned girl, Stephanie".🥴🤪😅
RIDGE 😐: "For alot of reasons, not the least of which are the children..." I don't think Ridge could be any clearer as to what is his main reason for staying where he is at. Note, for anyone commenting, it isn't HIS ONLY reason, but the children are the KEY reason. And tbh I could understand him staying not to disrupt what he spent a year building as a father (and father figure to his father's kid🥴).
No wonder Brooke starts playing with her dollies once Bridget isn't his daughter anymore😂. Her whole relationship was based on that, so whn it turned to be NOT TRUE, she lost her marbles 😂🤭
And from a storyline perspective…Ridge’s children fantasy will be destroyed. His step mom and father will be parents to both children. Oh, that destiny sure struggles, doesn’t it?
I think "for the children" is a perfectly valid reason (if I were Ridge, I would absolutely put my child first), and from Ridge's perspective it's the right choice not just for the children but _for him._ He loves his daughter and wants to be with her. She is his first choice. Not Taylor, not Brooke.
Now we all tilt our heads a bit to the right and starts messing: "For our cildren, Ridge. For our children! For our chiiildreeeeen, Ridge!". How ever "Mother of the year, mommy dearest" later hides Thomas' true paternity from Ridge, because it's not "our child". Let's not start talking about, what Brooke puts Bridget through with Deacon.
Sort of how he dumped Brooke for Caroline. Both received messages from "Mr. Forrester" to meet for dinner. He didn't send one to Brooke. It was Thorne, and Brooke never even got a goodbye.
I'll miss Michael Sabatino. Such a great actor. Watching him on Days of Our Lives from 1990 to 1993 as Lawrence Alamain and Anthony Armando from late 1993 to 1995 made daytime TV really nostalgic and special for me in the early '90s. I also heard that Sheila was killed off. I really wish they could bring Sabatino back.
@@greggel He showed emotions. I think he cried when he was holding her and told her "and you are a part of me" and it was in the rain😥, so we wouldn't see the tears whether were there or not
@@marn25 perhaps but i dont think so (about the tears). i remember him crying when he waa consoling Brooke when she miscarried though. and of course him crying when Caroline was marrying Thorne, and when he found out she accepted Thorne marriage proposal, or when they said goodbye to each other after Brooke became pregnant
It's the next day and his family don't even know he's no longer in prison. And he didn't bother to go tell them either, instead choosing to spend the night with his _real_ family.
Ridge is such a joke! Luring his victim into a false sense of security and then sealing her the blow. Must be part of his usual " but it was just a joke" routine.... Sadly this is just one of the many times to come where Taylor will be left to pick up the pieces for trusting her heart with him
And back and forth and back and forth.... and neither woman had the wherewithal to move on. And here, in 2024 one still remains.. FOR NOW. The Bell family formula is to let the first one down and save the big gala reunion for the second one.
Actually, I thought Ridge handled himself very well. He seemed to speak from his heart…about where he is now sharing a life with Brooke. Taylor for her part accepted what he said…and listened to what Ridge was saying even though it is not the outcome she was expecting? 😟
True Stephanie, you can't sadly influence Rigde. Because the stepmommy boy, Rigde will always do whatever he wants and he will hurt whoever he likes, especially you. He has no regard for anyones feelings. Well, his stepmommy, "daddy" and Rigde are so alike.
Interesting that Stephanie believes Ridge chose Taylor. I guess it’s incomprehensible that he would have chosen Brooke over someone who exudes integrity and goodness like Taylor. The comparison is stark. Taylor is beautiful through and through. ❤️
This Thorne was gorgeous I mean so is Winsor Harmon but I mean damn! When a man will only stay with you because of kids that he has no idea don't belong to him then that isn't good. I honestly have no idea why Taylor and Brooke both fought over him.
"You're still treating that Mr Potter?" So much for doctor-patient confidentiality. (Maybe she was giving Mr Potter therapy after his traumatic experiences with Lord Voldemort.)
@@annieo6527 I disagree. I could tell the name and not the case or vice versa. It's simply sharing interesting things about your day with the person you love and trust, without giving out sensitive information.
@@annieo6527 Name needn't be confidential. The receptionist knows it and the patients in the waiting room may know it. Mr. Potter could also be a proxy name.
Well, Thorne's father, brother, sisters and his best buddy/confindant/ meddle acomplisit, Brooke are nowhere to be found for Thorne. They have not mentioned him in month or years. Wait until Brooke needs help again to get Rigde, she will remember him than. Rigde and Eric won't ever remember Thorne. Well just when Steph has her stroke, than both remember thorne.
Feel sad for Taylor ... guess this situation keeps repeating itself in BB where Ridge is choosing one woman and hurting the other ... lesson to be learnt here ... one should not have to compete for the love of a man ... better to leave the man than let him make the decision
She had a prince who loved her and only her.. She could have stayed in Morocco... Spent the rest of her days Married to a man who loved only her and never had to see brooke again.. Married to a man who loved only her and never had to see Brooke again.But the idiot sacrificed it for nothing.
@@larryfrazier5925 but she never loved Omar. That is important too. She deserves to be with someone who loves her and vice versa but also someone who doesn't torture her🤢🙄
Omar did not show integrity when he kept Taylor's identity from her, when he wouldn't let her use the phone, when he especially put her in the two way mirror room but that was not torture. What Sheila did to James was torture but even that was minimal compared to real torture. Look it up.
Dont feel sad Taylor Ridge is only staying with the mother of his half siblings to get hands on experience on being a father to the real children you will give him later 😂😂
Now I've watched 2093 episodes, watching several episodes every day. Bold and the Beautiful - 1995 (S8 E342) FULL EPISODE 2093 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.
She was fairly nice, not that Brooke ever was nice to Stephanie (let alone respectful). And pointed out the children have her to count on. And oh boy, will they gonna need Stephanie. They can't count on their real parents.
Ridge choosing Brooke this time is more relatable for me and not out of character. He is in love with Brooke, he spent the last year to give up on Taylor, as he says, and he his a father to his daughter as he couldn't be when he chose Taylor after the paternity test. And he knows it. He can't leave again his child and he has already left Taylor marrying Brooke after two moths from her death.
Yes Ridge loves both women so who he marries (or stays married to) is a matter of choice. When he married Taylor the first time, he made that choice partly out of loyalty to his father. But then when he chose to stay married to Taylor during the Belief storyline, he made that choice completely out of love and loyalty to his commitment to her. When he married Brooke, he made that choice partly out of grief and not knowing Taylor was still alive and now he's choosing to stay with Brooke partly for the children. But when he chooses to stay with Brooke again (after Bridget's paternity reveal), that will be completely out of love and loyalty to his commitment to her.
@@NewYorkNick0607 I'm not sure about then also, because the paternity didn't changed the love he felt for Bridget (and for Brooke of course )even better, he was completely committed to his" family" and Bridget and Taylor was not in the triangle as a love interest for Ridge, even if she was his saving grace again in that storyline. His highest concern was Bridget.They also tried to pair Taylor with Grant but HT left.
Who wouldn't want to get rid of you, Brooke? 😂 She's acting as entitled as always. Got to love queen Stephanie. Don't worry Taylor, Ridge will be back. It's for the children, you know.. Sally and Macy are very heartwarming to watch. ❤
@@ambika66681 Pierce was a treasure of a man. He was succesful, he was intelligent, caring and smitten by Taylor! Man, the way he looked at her, like she was the only woman in the world.
Finally got to the heartbreaking news for Taylor oh wait he did it because of the childrens hhhhh 😂😂😂 Don't worry Taylor the bad news you got ain't compared to what Brooke will find out soon about Bridget's paternity 🤣🤣🤣
@@ambika66681Ridge always hangs around the one he didnt choose/have this is his style and one of the reasons all of his women cldnt move on. I loved when Brooke moved on w Nick
He didn’t call Brooke first he called Caroline. Went to Caroline first and dumped her because of Thorne. Ridge then went to see Brooke and said he couldn’t marry her. Ridge chose no one at that point. 😮
Not Brooke getting offended by the truth Steph tells her 😂 I know, Brooke, my eyes opened wide too recalling you sleeping with son, then father, then back to son, and getting pregnant and not even knowing if the father or the son was the baby daddy bc you slept with them both around the same time (and had to check a calendar to remember 😂🥴). In real life there are several words for ppl like that 😂😂
The truth is the truth and Stephanie always was truthful to Brooke in good and bad times. Brooke never liked the truth about herself, her ways, her wrongdoings, her family and her children. But thats not Stephanie's fault.
*SPOILER ALERT*Your absolutely right! "I slept with Eric and Massimo and told Eric it was his and I didn't tell him I slept with another man at around the same time named Massimo. Come to find out oh darn, Ridge's biological father IS Massimo."
I can see both sides of the issue with Brooke and Taylor. Taylor was right that they did have this beautiful marriage. But Brooke was right too, they all thought she died. And remember, even though Taylor loved Ridge, she did have relations with James.
Taylor and James is a ridiculous storyline. A happily married Christian at death's door is not going to commit a mortal sin and have sex with a virgin. Brooke loved Ridge and had an affair with Eric. Ridge's married father and the love of her mother's life. However, nothing will ever come close to Deacon!
@@kimlambert2127 every other kid on this show, including Eric Jr, had a broken home and heck, so did I. I wanted at least one kid to have an unbroken home.
It is So Unfair that Stephnie Come To Confrant Wirh Brooke And Not Came To see Her Son Thorne that Go Out Of prison. Ridge Was Always Stephanie's Favorite Son , more Then Thorne. What Kind A Mother She Is? A Mother Should Love All Of Her Children the Same
So Thorne is ghosting around the hospital like Nicolas Cage in City Of Angels now??? Is there a time lapse between the events taking place at this time??
*Thorne:* 🎤🎶 "And I don't want the world to see me! Cuz I don't think that they'd understand." "When everything's all about Ridge. I just want you to know who I am!"
It is still sad how the storyline of Ridge and his choice overshadowed Thornes story, which was soooo much better. It is also sad that Macy and Thornes chemistry lacked so much when Winsor Harmon took over. Macy was such a great character…
Now that Anthony Armando is put away it's all about Ridge and his woman trouble #10.000 🙄 They don't even bother to let us know about Sally's condition.
I would think that there would have been some sort of contact shown on the show even if it was only a phone call every once in a while. Or even a mention of him in conversation. But for Stephanie to go ALL THE WAY to Big Bear to stay with poor Ridge while he made such a hard DECISION and not show up at the jail to comfort THORNE fighting for his LIFE; such a loving mom and family.😢
From a distance, when the nurse comes through the entrance in the first scene, it looks like Sheila. 😮 Same hair style, but definitely not her. The Spectra storyline has a positive outcome that could have turned tragic, and the Forrester storyline doesn't have the desired outcome per Stephanie and Taylor who have become like mother and daughter.😞
There’s a reason why he did…he loves Brooke and their life together as a family. Ridge grieved over loosing Taylor…but life goes on and Ridge found a new happiness with Brooke whom he shares a history with as friend and lover. 🤗 💕
@@scor66 The new stan account was created two weeks ago LOL. It's obviously one of the regular stans trying to spam the comments to make it seem like Brooke has a lot of support. 😂😆🤣
Dang the board is feisty today! It is interesting how everyone sees it in their own way based on who they like. I specifically remember Ridge loving Brooke before Taylor was on the show and when Taylor started trying to break them up he constantly told her how much he loves Brooke which would make her angry and there were no children! Then Taylor cheated on Ridge right before she left and everyone just ignores that!! Thru the years both Taylor and Brooke have done crazy things and I don’t like how they portrayed Taylor as perfect.
Sue the writers! THEY wrote Taylor as the good person. THEY always gave her *selfless reasons* for her misjudgments. THEY wrote Brooke as the other woman, selfish and manipulative. Tridge fans watch B&B as intended by the writers. Preferences can be subjective and its understandable if someone likes Brooke. But to justify her wrongs and equate her to Taylor shows complete denial or lack of understanding of the writing.
Stephanie: _Eight years ago I had a very _*_close-knit_*_ family. We thrived on one another's success_ 😅 - Kristen first not even willing to return for her brother's wedding because she had been so estranged from her mom - Felicia not returning for several years for any weddings/ divorces or a brother fighting for his life (Ridge having been shot) - Thorne not as much ignored as he is nowadays, but Thorne already living in his brother's shadow - The second episode of B&B Eric complaining that his wife had not come to his fashion show and was instead wearing someone else's designs..... - the secretly hidden daughter Angela with her vegetative state (that unfortunately had already passed away during that secret caretaking)
Amen and hellelujah @mara4450. People act like the family was perfect until Brooke showed up. When the premise of the show was eric and Stephanie had already grown apart and that the real love of his life was Beth but Stephanie got pregnant wirh Ridge and he married her out of duty. And honestly if Stephanie raised such wonderful children, why did thorne end up shooting Ridge? Why did thorne marry Ridge's ex fiancee?? No one had a problem with that. Why was it that eric went from Beth to Brooke?? Eric was Brooke's senior by 20 years but Brooke seduced Eric?? Oh please thats garbage. And lets not even mention Felicia and Kristen hating Stephanie bc of all of the favortism shown to Ridge. So spare me. The Forresters were never leave it to beaver
the mess was marrying Eric after Ridge dumped her for Caroline. She was in love with Ridge and had no regrets in taking Eric away from her mother. plus she cheated Eric with Eric's son..again mess....then Ridge dumper her again and she didn't know the father of her child...mess again@@melissacannici9722
Taylor was delusional thinking Brooke was just a friend to Ridge,and that he wasn’t in love with her. Also that she believed he was choosing her after spending next to no time with her since she returned ..She needs to book an appointment with a psychiatrist …Not James though.!!! Remember him ‘ helping’ Sheila by yelling at her to come clean during the sessions in his office.😂
Brooke was delusional in thinking that Ridge when married to Taylor was goin to come back to her just cos of Bridget, the company or "destiny". No, Brooke shuld never ever book an appointment with any therapist cos no one can help a psychopath like her, Period !! The Forrester mattress is beyond help.😂🤭
@@ambika66681shes entitled to her opinion. Stop being a bully. Brooke may be the queen of delusion but here in this scene it's Taylor who's delusional. And thats the point. Oh and also Taylor was delusional thinking Brooke wasnt in the center of her marriage the entire time she was with Ridge. Thats what happens when you fall in love with someone who was in love with someone else to begin with
Did you notice Brooke's face when Stephanie brought up Brooke 's Colorful past right in front of her face ?? Some friend to Caroline Brooke was After Caroline was raped !!
Stephanie would be able to forgive the bed-hopping between Stephanie's son/husband/son, but she can't forgive that Brooke hurt Eric by taking control of the company. ?? Not sure if I would agree on that one. Although, Eric seemed to be more hurt by it than by losing his wife or his baby son to his adult son.
@@nofarshaked2954I am not a Brooke fan nor a Taylor fan so it doesn't really matter to me which one of them ends up with Ridge. I just meant that HT the actress does not cry well on screen.
I realise I'm in minority here but I like Brooke. Her and Stephanie are driving wheel of BB but Brooke's obsession with Ridge is more than exasperating. Writers wasted her character, in theirs minds Brooke should „love ” only Ridge. Just give her another man, not Forrester related ideally. Non of them deserves Brooke.
Well Eric never failed Brooke while they were together, all his promises to her he kept, so in a way he deserved her. I also would have liked Brooke would go on permanently with someone else, and there were attempts, but they had to keep the rivalry with Stephanie going, since as you say those 2 were THE driving wheel. So it had to be a Forrester.
I'm also a fan of Brooke. The chemistry between she and Ridge is so realistic, especially the way Ridge looks at Brooke so adoringly and touches her face and hair when they embrace. It makes me 0:28 0:28
Looking forward to watching this episode again. Stephanie always gloating way too soon and Taylor getting herlong overdue dose of reality 😅😅 goid times
@Angeleyes8082 doesn't matter. All Taylor remembers with him is the sex + they had nothing in common and she was running after him - what marriage was that really? Plus we haven't forgotten that their marriage was on the rocks before she left for Egypt! Not to mention her cheating on him with James!
Macy and Sally relationship is what is precious and admirable about soap tv. Their bond is so meaningful and beautiful❤.
Yes, I love them together! ❤And it is quite unique for soaps that an on-screen relationship can be allowed to develop like this for years and even decades.
@@annieo6527They we’re the best mother and daughter on the show it really looked beautiful and real and Sally was a real mom for Thorne, he really needed love from her, because he never gets it from his family
As beautiful as Taylor, as irritating as Brooke and as foolish as Ridge.....
Macy and Sally are the best, so realistic and warm❤

he did break her heart but the classy way she acted no clinging no begging just like Dear Caroline always classy and elegent even in her sorrow. she just waited till he is gone to cry what a painful moment
he made the wrong decision choosing the wrong woman for the wron reasons

Heartbreaking to see sweet Taylor show such composure and dignity in front of Ridge and then break down when he closes the door.
Taylor has been wronged. It won’t take long before Ridge realizes what he gave up.
I love how Taylor stays strong around Ridge and breaks down when he leaves!
I always wished she & James would have fallen in love & got married.
typical for Taylor. Brooke would be begging Ridge to stay with her. That's another difference between her and Taylor. Class, pride and dignity!
@@jgoldfarb3 Oh no, not really. Sweet, beautiful and stunning Taylor can achieve much more than Ridge and certainly much more than James...
The only one for me was Nick, but I'm sure Brooke fans would say he belongs to Brooke , she saw him first😵💫 @@jgoldfarb3
@@babs4848and Caroline will say from the grave:" Nah, I saw and had Ridge first, before all of you ever laid eyes on him." And that's true.😂
the countdown to the Paternity reveal begins 🎉🎉🎊🎊🥳🥳
Can't wait👍
As much as I hated it at the time, and still kinda hate it, I’m looking forward to seeing all the drama again.
Yee-ha! 🥂
Your so right about that
I am waiting impatiently....😁
And then everything will explode to Brook 💥
Instead of going to see her son who just got out of prison, Stephanie goes to see Brooke. 😑 The only way Thorne can get his mother's attention are:
• 🔫 Ridge
• get involved with Brooke
How will he get Eric's and Rigde's attention or Brooke's?
Be fair an acknowledge, that Eric, Rigde, kristen, Felicia and Brooke don't care about him or mentioning him.
Stephanie has at least mentioned him recently.
Brads writing is bad.
Nobody seems to wanna work with JT.
😂😂😂So true! Thorne gets involved with Brooke and suddenly he's Stephanie's precious baby boy who needs to be protected, after she literally forgot him in prison a few years earlier.
@@andream5998 nobody can get Eric's attention (not even his own kids). You would have to be a young pretty (or fairly pretty enough) thing, preferably someone who dated his son, to get his attention. So Thorne's out there.
Ridge has the attention of a flea and thinking for him is tough work, so he can only spend time worrying about which woman he wants. He will, however, give Thorne his undivided attention when he thinks Thorne is moving in on Taylor. 🤭
And Brooke, well, like Ridge, has a one track mind. So Thorne will only get her attention when she needs to team up with him again to keep Taylor away from Ridge so she can seduce him back to her.
I’m so glad he has Sally who loves him and is always trying to help him and being a real mom to him ❤
@@annieo6527spot on Annie! I’ve always said Steph is OBSESSED with Brooke.
It's the next day and Thorne is still wearing the same clothes he wore when he was released the night before, meaning that instead of going home to his family and getting some much needed sleep in a real bed, he went straight from solitary confinement (with an upset stomach) to spending the entire night in the hospital waiting area comforting Macy. That's amore.
Meanwhile, his parents and brother are so occupied with the tale of two wives that they neither know nor care that he is free. That's not so much amore.
A tale of two soaps within a soap...
😂😂😂
If I was Thorne I would’ve stayed away from them too, but I love Sally for being a mom to him, she is always there for him and Macy ❤
Sally is more of a mother to Thorne ATM.
Stephanie is too involved in Ridge’s life…as usual.😉😛
*Stephanie's Reliable Narration*
Under Bill Bell, Stephanie was always a reliable narrator who could predict the future, including Ridge’s future. She correctly predicted that Brooke would lose Ridge if she kept delaying her divorce from Eric, she correctly predicted that Ridge would stay with Taylor during the Belief storyline, and she correctly predicted that Ridge would not go to Europe with Brooke. But this time she is completely wrong about Ridge’s choice - she is unable to “read” him and it’s a major change for the character. Stephanie is now an unreliable narrator of Ridge’s storyline and it reflects Brad Bell’s restructuring of the show. Now that Ridge and Brooke are the main couple, Stephanie can’t have special insight into Ridge because she is no longer tasked with supporting and maintaining that pillar of the show’s foundation (as did with Ridge and Taylor). Instead of oracle, she is now obstacle.
At the same time, as I wrote in episode 1905, Stephanie often feels as if she’s narrating Bill Bell’s vision for the show and holding down the fort for the old writing regime. She wants to reconstruct his balancing act where Brooke had the company and Stephanie (via Taylor) had Ridge, which made Stephanie’s feud with Brooke more compelling and drove better storylines. When she describes Brooke’s sordid history at 14:30, she’s reminding the viewer of Bill Bell’s conception of the show where Brooke’s marriage to Eric constituted an “original sin” that prevented her from ever fully having Ridge. Brad Bell has tried to whitewash that history in order to make Ridge and Brooke seem less icky and more like a perfect couple (for example there are almost no scenes between Eric and Brooke anymore and no one objects when she refers to the children as Ridge’s). But Stephanie won’t let that history be erased: her incorrect prediction of what Ridge will do is also a lament for what he _should_ do. When it comes to Ridge’s storyline, Stephanie is no longer predicting the future but recalling the past.
Every true. For a long while she will not predigt correctly the future what Rigde choose and will do (probabalynever again). And when he does choose Taylor in a couple of years, it will be out of blue and at a surprise of her.
Bell sr was, is and will be the better write for the show in general and particular for the character Stephanie.
Bill jr will erase so much history and things we have actually seen, that b&b will look like a complete different Show and certainly not a better one.
B&b pik and best years/seasons are already behind us. From here it will get worst.
Yes, even in 1995 we see the first hints of what I mentioned will _really_ take hold of the show in the upcoming Season 13 - a kind of antagonism between the writing and the characters (who are used to being reliable but now the writing sides against them).
But Stephanie's reliability as a narrator has really been damaged already, and it will get worse in 1996 (the paternity/Barbados storyline) where again she is reading the situation all wrong. Under Brad 🔔, Stephanie is no longer the show's "stable horizon". (You know, like when you have motion sickness you need a point of reference, and looking at the horizon will usually do it. Without that, a kind of vertigo sets in in the storytelling because we no longer know what is up and down.)
At least for me, Steph is someone who keeps true to what actually happened in the show, whereas everyone else seems to forget so that we can root for what is clearly an icky family dynamic between Ridge, Brooke and those poor children.
I believe Nick you are wrong for one respect. There is a consistent theme between the 2 writers: When Stephanie rubs it in that Brooke is about to lose something or EVERYTHING, she makes the wrong prediction. Remember when Brooke was about to "lose everything" and SF came to her place and said she will lose Eric, Ridge, and her job? Then, here comes CD to the rescue and lesser degree Ridge(he picked up the wrong copy of the signed agreement). Again, Brooke went from rags to riches. Now, SF is rubbing it in and she will make the wrong prediction again. Now this is karma coming back to haunt SF! Brooke went from almost losing everything to having everything(at least for the time being). I can´t wait(again) to see that smug look being wiped off SF face when she finds out her visit to Bigbear was for naught!
@@robbio40 I think the two things aren't really contradictions. Bill Bell's Stephanie was a good judge of character, but she was not a fortune-teller. She could predict people's actions based on their psychology, but not chance events (like Ridge signing the wrong copy).
It is only recently that Stephanie has started _reading people_ wrong.
Stephanie's hatred for Brooke is far greater than her love for Thorne ... at a time like this she should be with Thorne and be grateful for his release ! Not visiting Ridge and Brooke !
Exactly... Thorne who? Oh... Eric's first born son... not Massimo's.
From 14:29 Steph takes us on a trip down memory lane to remind us of the things that Brad 🔔 wants so desperately for us to forget. I like she acknowledges that Brooke is to blame completely at 14:38 Brooke is acting like the victim as per usual. She really thought dangling those Forrester shares like a 🥕would get her to accept her.
I like the music cue from 14:48 as Steph describes how Brooke bedded her son (Ridge), her husband (Eric), and back to her son. Then there's Brooke acting shocked as if Stephanie is gossiping about someone who isn't even in the room. Long before Bridget Brooke was im preg nated by a father and son in the same year. correction Steph, Brooke bedded Ridge before she even divorced his father Eric 14:55
I thought Brooke was going to magnanimously leave Ridge alone.. Why is she calling him?
To tell him how his children/siblings miss their Daddy/brother
The narc in her wants to control everything
She will pick up her obsession again after working hours ..😂😂
*Brooke:* “For the children. For the children. For the children…”
*Ridge:* “I chose Brooke because of the children.”
*Stans:* “Who said anything about the children?! That’s not why he chose Brooke!”
🥴
I don't know, they ll never admit but they like comparing the choice after Thomas with this one! So maybe they see some truth about this one
But, as usual, they mistake the comparision, because the right one is between Bridget (after the first paternity) and Thomas...😜
It's like each and everyone of them watch a diff show. How is it even possible?! How can each and everyone b this delusional !?🥴😫🤣
We ask the same thing about all of you. Everyone had their own opinions. But obviously the proof is in the pudding bc Brooke is still there and Taylor is gone.
@@melissacannici9722 That KKL didn't get offers for other parts and had to stay on the same show where s he was b * * * king the head writer isn't the own you think it is.
@@memento-_mori maybe you're right. And what exactly is Hunter Tylo doing these days??? Oh alright nothing. Her biggest claim to fame is b&b and suing aaron spelling when he fired her from melrose place. So spare me. Regardless to whatever you think about KKLs character, she is a mainstay on b&b and has been for almost 40 years.
Watching "The Birds" last week, & lo & behold:: Miss Sally Spectra, aka Darlene Conley, was the Waitress! Watching "Little House on the Prairie" last night, there she was playing a mean boss in a Boarding House ("A Wiser Heart" episode). I grew up watching her play wicked Rose DeVille on "Y&R" then Miss Spectra on "B&B". 😊Darlene Conley truly was larger than life, thanks to her vast career, we get to enjoy her talent endlessly. 😔R.I.P. DC😔
Whenever Ridge dumps Brooke or Taylor, they cry like it's the end of the world. Yet, they both get their rotating "shifts" with him. The man is a revolving door. Of course, when viewers saw this for the first time, they were made to believe it was the end for either Tridge or Bridge. I do feel for Taylor, but she should have told Ridge as soon as she came to LA instead of self-sacrificing for him, then fighting for him and then having to give him up. Still it's a roller coaster for her and just when she thinks she's got it all, she loses.
Regarding Brooke, I'm glad Stephanie gave it to her straight. While Brooke and the Logans go for what they want regardless of others' feelings, they seem shocked when their choices have consequences. That's where Stephanie had to color it out for Brooke. Yes, you stole the company, took my husband and chased my son---of course I can't wait to get rid of you.
true👍👍
Great post with very salient points
I like how Stephanie summarizes the ways in which Brooke has negatively affected her family. Boom, boom, boom.
I look forward to the many conflicts these two will continue to have. Stephanie knows how to psychologically pick at Brooke’s insecurity. Let the games continue. Team Stephanie. 👑
Also Team Steph 👑
yes Brooke life is all about sleeping around with Forrester men or any men she can lay her hands on just disgusting
I see what you are saying but in case everyone has forgotten, Brooke did try to protect Stephanie from Sheila shooting her.
Respectfully, Brooke didn’t put herself between a bullet and Stephanie. Now that would have been admirable.
Saying she’d take the bullet along with Ridge felt like grandstanding to me.
@@toplaycool21only after Ridge did it.
*Ridge:* _"Not the least of which are the children. I've made my decision._ 18:24
_"The Children_- has toppled _"Seven 7 Long Years"_ to be number 1 bestseller. Taylor isn't happy, but she accepts Ridge's decision 18:59 He even expected Taylor to beg and grovel the way Brooke normally does 19:52
Brooke always does the opposite, case in point when Brooke had asked Ridge to choose whom he wanted to be with during a trip to Monte Carlo. In episode 1568 Ridge chose to stay married to his beautiful wife to which Brooke replied _"But you don't love her, I know you don't. You can't possibly deny that."_ 🥴😵💫 (6: 03) When Ridge said _"Brooke, Taylor is my wife, I do love her"_ her reply was _"But you don't love her as much as you love me Ridge, we share a very special bond between us"_ (6: 12)
Then Brooke shed tears from one eye because a married man chose to honor his promise to his wife
We should give that one left tear a name. It’s like its own character we see it so often. 😂

What's with Brooke's stunned face expressions when she hears Stephanie pointing out what her *love/home wrecking life* looked all these years? Like she was hearing about another person😂
😂
Right? I made the same comment 😂
Brooke's eyes opened wide like she was hearing gossip bout someone else 😂
In season 10 whn she proposes to Grant to get Ridge back🤢, the same way Stephanie comes to destroy her❤, her exact words were "I'm an old fashioned girl, Stephanie".🥴🤪😅
RIDGE 😐: "For alot of reasons, not the least of which are the children..."
I don't think Ridge could be any clearer as to what is his main reason for staying where he is at.
Note, for anyone commenting, it isn't HIS ONLY reason, but the children are the KEY reason.
And tbh I could understand him staying not to disrupt what he spent a year building as a father (and father figure to his father's kid🥴).
No wonder Brooke starts playing with her dollies once Bridget isn't his daughter anymore😂. Her whole relationship was based on that, so whn it turned to be NOT TRUE, she lost her marbles 😂🤭
@@ambika66681 and then Bridget became another female to complete against 😏
And from a storyline perspective…Ridge’s children fantasy will be destroyed. His step mom and father will be parents to both children. Oh, that destiny sure struggles, doesn’t it?
I think "for the children" is a perfectly valid reason (if I were Ridge, I would absolutely put my child first), and from Ridge's perspective it's the right choice not just for the children but _for him._ He loves his daughter and wants to be with her. She is his first choice. Not Taylor, not Brooke.
Now we all tilt our heads a bit to the right and starts messing: "For our cildren, Ridge. For our children! For our chiiildreeeeen, Ridge!".
How ever "Mother of the year, mommy dearest" later hides Thomas' true paternity from Ridge, because it's not "our child". Let's not start talking about, what Brooke puts Bridget through with Deacon.
Ridge says all the nice, agreeable things to gullible Taylor n then detonates the explosive divorce...typical
Sort of how he dumped Brooke for Caroline. Both received messages from "Mr. Forrester" to meet for dinner. He didn't send one to Brooke. It was Thorne, and Brooke never even got a goodbye.
Thank you so much for this really great episode
Pompous, smug Ridge knowing he has 2 women bowing, begging down to his feet…. He’s loving it.
I'll miss Michael Sabatino. Such a great actor. Watching him on Days of Our Lives from 1990 to 1993 as Lawrence Alamain and Anthony Armando from late 1993 to 1995 made daytime TV really nostalgic and special for me in the early '90s. I also heard that Sheila was killed off. I really wish they could bring Sabatino back.

Sally and Macy ❤
Thorne really just better apply for adoption papers to get into the Spectra family.
It's the next day and his family don't even know he's no longer in prison. And he didn't bother to go tell them either, instead choosing to spend the night with his _real_ family.

This must have happened after Brookie laid her ground rules.
@@galoutlaw8089 😂😂 The CBS execs came through for her with Ridge.
@Jon I doubt the execs gave a flying £¥€|< about her. It was the work husband on the 3rd floor who came through for her!
Ridge is such a joke! Luring his victim into a false sense of security and then sealing her the blow. Must be part of his usual " but it was just a joke" routine....
Sadly this is just one of the many times to come where Taylor will be left to pick up the pieces for trusting her heart with him
And back and forth and back and forth.... and neither woman had the wherewithal to move on. And here, in 2024 one still remains.. FOR NOW.
The Bell family formula is to let the first one down and save the big gala reunion for the second one.
Ridge has a narcissistic smirk on his face
knowing he’s about to break Taylor’s heart.
Why was he hugging her like that knowing what he was about to do. 🤦🏽♀️

He s cruel...leading her on like that...should hv told her straight to her face
@@2474rajuExactly.. Hard believe she gave up the life of royalty for this loser..
Actually, I thought Ridge handled himself very well. He seemed to speak from his heart…about where he is now sharing a life with Brooke. Taylor for her part accepted what he said…and listened to what Ridge was saying even though it is not the outcome she was expecting? 😟
True Stephanie, you can't sadly influence Rigde. Because the stepmommy boy, Rigde will always do whatever he wants and he will hurt whoever he likes, especially you.
He has no regard for anyones feelings.
Well, his stepmommy, "daddy" and Rigde are so alike.
Yes those 3 are a lot alike, but at least Ridge has some redeeming qualities.
LOL yeah right. In real life, no man would give up a woman like Taylor for someone like Brooke.
Very TRUE 💯
true💯👍👍
Oh please y’all 😂
Brooke is more believable as a bad girl than a heroine. The actress is better in that role too.
Unless they were on 💊or something 🤭
Ridge admits that they were very close and that it's hard to get closer than they were. With that poignant, classic music cue (9:06)
Interesting that Stephanie believes Ridge chose Taylor. I guess it’s incomprehensible that he would have chosen Brooke over someone who exudes integrity and goodness like Taylor.
The comparison is stark. Taylor is beautiful through and through. ❤️
Love it❤❤
Ridge is useless
yes Beautiful in every way
No "saint Taylor" comments? I'm shocked
There’s still time. 😃
This Thorne was gorgeous I mean so is Winsor Harmon but I mean damn! When a man will only stay with you because of kids that he has no idea don't belong to him then that isn't good. I honestly have no idea why Taylor and Brooke both fought over him.
"You're still treating that Mr Potter?"

Well, Thorne's father, brother, sisters and his best buddy/confindant/ meddle acomplisit, Brooke are nowhere to be found for Thorne. They have not mentioned him in month or years.
Wait until Brooke needs help again to get Rigde, she will remember him than.
Rigde and Eric won't ever remember Thorne. Well just when Steph has her stroke, than both remember thorne.
Feel sad for Taylor ... guess this situation keeps repeating itself in BB where Ridge is choosing one woman and hurting the other ... lesson to be learnt here ... one should not have to compete for the love of a man ... better to leave the man than let him make the decision
The nurse looks so pretty.
She reminds me of Sheila actually.
i thought so too
James warned Taylor not to be too confident that Ridge would choose her. And he chose Brooke.
Taylor you can do SO much better than Ridge!!
She had a prince who loved her and only her.. She could have stayed in Morocco... Spent the rest of her days Married to a man who loved only her and never had to see brooke again.. Married to a man who loved only her and never had to see Brooke again.But the idiot sacrificed it for nothing.
@@larryfrazier5925 but she never loved Omar. That is important too. She deserves to be with someone who loves her and vice versa but also someone who doesn't torture her🤢🙄
Omar did not show integrity when he kept Taylor's identity from her, when he wouldn't let her use the phone, when he especially put her in the two way mirror room but that was not torture. What Sheila did to James was torture but even that was minimal compared to real torture. Look it up.
AND even after all the humiliation he caused her she still CHOSE to marry him. He did not hold a knife to her neck to get her to say "Yes".
That lip color and hairstyle are terrible on Brooke.
S he looks like Stephanie's contemporary.
😂
Well, they are both mothers…to Ridge.
🤭🤣😅
Dont feel sad Taylor Ridge is only staying with the mother of his half siblings to get hands on experience on being a father to the real children you will give him later 😂😂
True dat❤🎉
Yes! LOL!
Thank you @ministry for always making me feel better.
Though Brooke does everything to hide Thomas' paternity from Ridge. So much for "the children. For the children! The childreeeeeen!"
😂😂❤
So Brooke knows Thomas' paternity but Taylor doesn't. Ohhh can't wait to see that!
Now I've watched 2093 episodes, watching several episodes every day. Bold and the Beautiful - 1995 (S8 E342) FULL EPISODE 2093 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.
There are other full seasons up and they post episodes from several seasons every day.
Stephanie was quite respectable in their conversation with Brooke unlike what the recap suggested
She was fairly nice, not that Brooke ever was nice to Stephanie (let alone respectful). And pointed out the children have her to count on. And oh boy, will they gonna need Stephanie.
They can't count on their real parents.
When are the Forresters going to find out Sally took a bullet for Thorne??? 😅
She took the bullet for Macy not Thorne.
Ridge choosing Brooke this time is more relatable for me and not out of character. He is in love with Brooke, he spent the last year to give up on Taylor, as he says, and he his a father to his daughter as he couldn't be when he chose Taylor after the paternity test. And he knows it. He can't leave again his child and he has already left Taylor marrying Brooke after two moths from her death.
I agree!
Technically he could have been the father he wanted to be to Bridget at any time. He could have left Taylor right away but he chose not to.
@@lil_jon411 the first time he didn't live with her daughter. So he made a choice completely out of love, for Taylor.
Yes Ridge loves both women so who he marries (or stays married to) is a matter of choice. When he married Taylor the first time, he made that choice partly out of loyalty to his father. But then when he chose to stay married to Taylor during the Belief storyline, he made that choice completely out of love and loyalty to his commitment to her. When he married Brooke, he made that choice partly out of grief and not knowing Taylor was still alive and now he's choosing to stay with Brooke partly for the children. But when he chooses to stay with Brooke again (after Bridget's paternity reveal), that will be completely out of love and loyalty to his commitment to her.
@@NewYorkNick0607 I'm not sure about then also, because the paternity didn't changed the love he felt for Bridget (and for Brooke of course )even better, he was completely committed to his" family" and Bridget and Taylor was not in the triangle as a love interest for Ridge, even if she was his saving grace again in that storyline. His highest concern was Bridget.They also tried to pair Taylor with Grant but HT left.

I'm mad with Brad because lately he is distracting us with a semi delusional Taylor so we can't appreciate how gorgeous she is in those episodes.
I can see both sides of the issue with Brooke and Taylor. Taylor was right that they did have this beautiful marriage. But Brooke was right too, they all thought she died. And remember, even though Taylor loved Ridge, she did have relations with James.
Yes you got that right!
For me, it’s about Bridget’s family and home not being broken. (Yeah, I know.)
Taylor and James is a ridiculous storyline. A happily married Christian at death's door is not going to commit a mortal sin and have sex with a virgin.
Brooke loved Ridge and had an affair with Eric. Ridge's married father and the love of her mother's life.
However, nothing will ever come close to Deacon!

@@kimlambert2127 every other kid on this show, including Eric Jr, had a broken home and heck, so did I. I wanted at least one kid to have an unbroken home.
Still no word to the Forrester’s that Thorne is out of jail.
Welll it’s not important anyway,Ridge has made his decision !!!!
Nobody in the Forrester family has even mentioned Throne🥲very sad
They have never cared about poor Thorne their to busy worrying about Ridge’s love life and so glad that Sally has been a real mom for him
@@kchellkat1847 I know! He has that crummy office downstairs in shipping & Ridge has a suite upstairs!
@@jgoldfarb3 Yea they always leave him there and everyone else is upstairs, who does that to anyone, I treat my dogs better than that
Doesn’t it make you wonder the conversation at the writer’s table? How did they justify the absence of the Foresters during Thorne’s plight?
It is So Unfair that Stephnie Come To Confrant Wirh Brooke And Not Came To see Her Son Thorne that Go Out Of prison. Ridge Was Always Stephanie's Favorite Son , more Then Thorne. What Kind A Mother She Is? A Mother Should Love All Of Her Children the Same
Thank you. ❤❤❤
Poor Toren, goes to prison, escapes, going back, comes out, no one notices...🥴🤨🤭😁😁
Everyone is only interested in Ridge's love life...
That is horribly true. 😢
So Thorne is ghosting around the hospital like Nicolas Cage in City Of Angels now???
Is there a time lapse between the events taking place at this time??
Good analogy:)
*Thorne:* 🎤🎶
"And I don't want the world to see me! Cuz I don't think that they'd understand."
"When everything's all about Ridge. I just want you to know who I am!"
LMAO 😅
It is still sad how the storyline of Ridge and his choice overshadowed Thornes story, which was soooo much better. It is also sad that Macy and Thornes chemistry lacked so much when Winsor Harmon took over. Macy was such a great character…
I liked Jeff's portrayal of Thorne the best. He brought a lot to the part and had good storylines to go with it.
I agree. The show should have kept Macy's character longer, with or without Thorne.
Now that Anthony Armando is put away it's all about Ridge and his woman trouble #10.000 🙄 They don't even bother to let us know about Sally's condition.
I just read Steffy just killed Shelia in 2024..
Stephanie forgetting she encouraged and planned Brooke’s second bedding of Ridge 😂
Nailed it lol and so did BROOKE 😉😉🤣😂🤣
@@kimlambert2127good one!!
I'm glad someone says she helped Brooke to have Ridge.
@@babs4848 They get caught up on their own web and don't even realise it🤣😂👍
Thank God Anthony is gone forever
Doesn’t he come back?
Ridge needs Stephanie's support but not Thorne I guess
I would think that there would have been some sort of contact shown on the show even if it was only a phone call every once in a while. Or even a mention of him in conversation. But for Stephanie to go ALL THE WAY to Big Bear to stay with poor Ridge while he made such a hard DECISION and not show up at the jail to comfort THORNE fighting for his LIFE; such a loving mom and family.😢
From a distance, when the nurse comes through the entrance in the first scene, it looks like Sheila. 😮 Same hair style, but definitely not her. The Spectra storyline has a positive outcome that could have turned tragic, and the Forrester storyline doesn't have the desired outcome per Stephanie and Taylor who have become like mother and daughter.😞
She does have a very Sheila-esque look.
@@bradgibson15 Ikr? I wonder if the actress was chosen for that reason, as foreshadowing that Sheila will return one day.🧐
@laurastrobel718 maybe, and coincidentally, this actress and Sheila both played nurses.
@@bradgibson15 Yep, it was like a deja vu moment since Sheila came to LA and Forrester seeking a position as the company nurse.😊
Is this the actress who was the first Lily on As the World Turns!
Stephanie looks gorgeous!! So does Taylor!! But Brooke, 😂😂😂
I see Bridget did Brookes hair again!!!!
😂😅🤣
Can u imagine if Brooke were rejected she'd be begging ridge not to go... She always knew how to be desperate
Bye Ridge so long go be with your Logan!
.....and never come back. Pls Ridge leave Taylor alone😖
In today's episode Ridge chooses his stepmother and her spawn over his beautiful wife.
I'm team Brooke, but that is hilarious! 😂
😂😂👍
🤣😅😂
There’s a reason why he did…he loves Brooke and their life together as a family. Ridge grieved over loosing Taylor…but life goes on and Ridge found a new happiness with Brooke whom he shares a history with as friend and lover. 🤗 💕
We have a new Stan spammer! 😆😆
Yep, and two bullys... And they're not Taylor fans.....😂🙈
@@scor66 The new stan account was created two weeks ago LOL. It's obviously one of the regular stans trying to spam the comments to make it seem like Brooke has a lot of support. 😂😆🤣
@@sharonstewart4882yes, I've noticed that too. They're so desperate😂😂
I just had to deal with one of them 😂. They think it's weird to hate a fictional character, seriously wat is wrong with these ppl🤣
What is a Stan?
Dang the board is feisty today! It is interesting how everyone sees it in their own way based on who they like. I specifically remember Ridge loving Brooke before Taylor was on the show and when Taylor started trying to break them up he constantly told her how much he loves Brooke which would make her angry and there were no children! Then Taylor cheated on Ridge right before she left and everyone just ignores that!! Thru the years both Taylor and Brooke have done crazy things and I don’t like how they portrayed Taylor as perfect.
Good points…thanks for your input! 👍😉
True
Lawd hav mercy !! 🤦🏻♀️🤣
Sue the writers! THEY wrote Taylor as the good person. THEY always gave her *selfless reasons* for her misjudgments. THEY wrote Brooke as the other woman, selfish and manipulative.
Tridge fans watch B&B as intended by the writers. Preferences can be subjective and its understandable if someone likes Brooke. But to justify her wrongs and equate her to Taylor shows complete denial or lack of understanding of the writing.
@@galoutlaw8089right to the point as always Gal.💞👍
So it looks like we are keeping season 8 into season 9. I am looking forward to seeing Tracy Burgman And Ellen Wheeler on the same soap !!😂😂
Can't wait to see that!
@@jemekiahall5848If it Even's happens now.??
Yes & thanks for posting S9 is being included! Now 13 is coming out, NO 11 or 12?
@@jgoldfarb3Makes no sense whatsoever ??.
Stephanie: _Eight years ago I had a very _*_close-knit_*_ family. We thrived on one another's success_ 😅
- Kristen first not even willing to return for her brother's wedding because she had been so estranged from her mom
- Felicia not returning for several years for any weddings/ divorces or a brother fighting for his life (Ridge having been shot)
- Thorne not as much ignored as he is nowadays, but Thorne already living in his brother's shadow
- The second episode of B&B Eric complaining that his wife had not come to his fashion show and was instead wearing someone else's designs.....
- the secretly hidden daughter Angela with her vegetative state (that unfortunately had already passed away during that secret caretaking)
Thanks for keeping it real 😊💥
Amen and hellelujah @mara4450. People act like the family was perfect until Brooke showed up. When the premise of the show was eric and Stephanie had already grown apart and that the real love of his life was Beth but Stephanie got pregnant wirh Ridge and he married her out of duty. And honestly if Stephanie raised such wonderful children, why did thorne end up shooting Ridge? Why did thorne marry Ridge's ex fiancee?? No one had a problem with that. Why was it that eric went from Beth to Brooke?? Eric was Brooke's senior by 20 years but Brooke seduced Eric?? Oh please thats garbage. And lets not even mention Felicia and Kristen hating Stephanie bc of all of the favortism shown to Ridge. So spare me. The Forresters were never leave it to beaver
the mess was marrying Eric after Ridge dumped her for Caroline. She was in love with Ridge and had no regrets in taking Eric away from her mother. plus she cheated Eric with Eric's son..again mess....then Ridge dumper her again and she didn't know the father of her child...mess again@@melissacannici9722
Keep grasping at straws. Nothing you mentioned compares to sleeping with Father and son at the same time and not knowing your child's paternity 😂
So right about the Forester family not being the Cleaver family.
As soon as Ridge mentions the children, the Bridget paternity storyline is gonna come sprouting out….
We still have a way forward before that happens. That's the crisis of Season 9; Sheila is back, her paternity test manipulation comes out, and more
Taylor was delusional thinking Brooke was just a friend to Ridge,and that he wasn’t in love with her. Also that she believed he was choosing her after spending next to no time with her since she returned ..She needs to book an appointment with a psychiatrist …Not James though.!!! Remember him ‘ helping’ Sheila by yelling at her to come clean during the sessions in his office.😂
Brooke was delusional in thinking that Ridge when married to Taylor was goin to come back to her just cos of Bridget, the company or "destiny". No, Brooke shuld never ever book an appointment with any therapist cos no one can help a psychopath like her, Period !! The Forrester mattress is beyond help.😂🤭
@@ambika66681 This post is about Taylor’s delusions.
@@-Lily7415 And I'm talking bout BROOKE -THE KING OF DELUSION !! 🤣😅
@@ambika66681shes entitled to her opinion. Stop being a bully. Brooke may be the queen of delusion but here in this scene it's Taylor who's delusional. And thats the point. Oh and also Taylor was delusional thinking Brooke wasnt in the center of her marriage the entire time she was with Ridge. Thats what happens when you fall in love with someone who was in love with someone else to begin with
@@melissacannici9722 I'll say wat I want. U don't like it, ur problem🤣
Broken And Stephanie looks so gorgeous today With their hair make up and outfits.
I love Ridge for choosing Brook 🎉
James warned you!!!
Ridge chooses Brooke and all her fans today come out of their holes😀🐀🐇
They have a few days of sunshine 😂
That's what I was thinking too😂😂👍
🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳
🤣😂🤪
@@Esi-741 Girl where have you been? You've been asking for the crazies and now they're here! We need your help! 😉😂
I am so glad Ridge chose Brooke. I have always been a fan of her.
Just wish he had stayed away from Taylor and never ever snaked his way into her life again. TAYLOR DESERVES BETTER !! Pierce Peterson all the way❤😁
Me too!
Did you notice Brooke's face when Stephanie brought up Brooke 's Colorful past right in front of her face ?? Some friend to Caroline Brooke was After Caroline was raped !!
Oh please,his commitment to brooke is obvious hes always ,loved her no what..❤❤❤
Right…no matter what! 👍💕
That’s so true ❤
Stephanie would be able to forgive the bed-hopping between Stephanie's son/husband/son, but she can't forgive that Brooke hurt Eric by taking control of the company. ?? Not sure if I would agree on that one.
Although, Eric seemed to be more hurt by it than by losing his wife or his baby son to his adult son.
Note to writers: Do not give Taylor crying scenes ever again.
I know, she has never been good at it 😁
If Taylor doesn't cry it means she'll be with Ridge and happy and then you'll cry because Brooke is sad...
So decide what is better...
@@nofarshaked2954I am not a Brooke fan nor a Taylor fan so it doesn't really matter to me which one of them ends up with Ridge. I just meant that HT the actress does not cry well on screen.
I realise I'm in minority here but I like Brooke. Her and Stephanie are driving wheel of BB but Brooke's obsession with Ridge is more than exasperating. Writers wasted her character, in theirs minds Brooke should „love ” only Ridge. Just give her another man, not Forrester related ideally. Non of them deserves Brooke.
So true! 🤗✌️
Well Eric never failed Brooke while they were together, all his promises to her he kept, so in a way he deserved her.
I also would have liked Brooke would go on permanently with someone else, and there were attempts, but they had to keep the rivalry with Stephanie going, since as you say those 2 were THE driving wheel. So it had to be a Forrester.
I would actually like that too. But this is how the writers wrote Brooke and it's very hard to sympathize with her.
We are many but the bullying here keeps us away
Brooke and Nick where so good before writers messed it up
I' m very happy with Ridge's choice!!.Brooke is the right woman for him!! I dont like Taylor!❤❤❤
I'm also a fan of Brooke. The chemistry between she and Ridge is so realistic, especially the way Ridge looks at Brooke so adoringly and touches her face and hair when they embrace. It makes me 0:28 0:28
Looking forward to watching this episode again. Stephanie always gloating way too soon and Taylor getting herlong overdue dose of reality 😅😅 goid times
Looking forward to this too…😊
Well sorry to bust your bubble....but he only stayed for the kids....he said so in later episodes
@Angeleyes8082 doesn't matter. All Taylor remembers with him is the sex + they had nothing in common and she was running after him - what marriage was that really?
Plus we haven't forgotten that their marriage was on the rocks before she left for Egypt! Not to mention her cheating on him with James!
@MT-sw8rf yip there it is! And he didn't just stay for the kids he stayed with who he loved at the time. Brooke.
@@Itsboldie 🤣🤣🤣 You really hope he did.
Wow????!!!!!! 😢😢😢
