It's funny how the two times Ridge and Taylor were married in the 90's, the show had better writing, storylines and production values than the one time Ridge and Brooke were married.
Seriously tho.. There is such a marked difference in the relationship between Taylor and Ridge and Brooke and Ridge. Taylor /Ridge have a depth in their relationship, while Brooke's relationship with Ridge has always been so shallow and based on very superficial things.
Not to mention all those adorable Tridge family scenes from when Thomas and the twins were little. But of course, all of that had to be destroyed to prop Bridge...
Yes, especially that ridiculous rescue at Morgan's place, where Ridge run through the house with a risk to run over the person he was rescuing and then him passing out. I had a great laugh with that one. And Taylor's hysterics with Morgan throughout.
This is what makes it more sad and disappointing that Ridge and Taylor didn't stay together in the end. They overcame SO MUCH- Taylor "dying" twice, her nearly dying here giving birth, then everything that happened with Morgan. They were the best couple B&B ever had and after 2005 they threw them away just for umpteen endless cycles of Ridge and Brooke partner swapping and bed hopping. 🤢🙄
I think because of Nick .In 2oo5 The triangle was changed to Brooke/ Nick/ Ridge The on screen chemistry between KKL and JW Rivaled KKL and RM They didn’t need to throw Taylor into the mix
@@-Lily7415 I'll give you that Nick and Brooke were a good couple. They should have kept them together and never split up Ridge and Taylor. Though Nick and Taylor made a good couple too.
There will be plenty of time to make jokes about Brooke and how the time jump between the seasons isn't kind to her rapid aging, but I just want to say the drama in these episodes was incredible and so much better than the dreary sluggish incoherent Season 8 we've been watching! _This_ feels like B&B!
Yeah after seeing the 1994-1997 episodes/storylines it seems that B&B really kicked it into high gear in 1998(I know this is 1999 but the storylines in '98 are when the show improved again).
Season 10 was good as well, I guess the show Picked up in 1997, I hear the baby Thomas paternity storyline was great! Brooke Was Apparently at her Very Worst Around That Time Having Faked A Pregnancy And A Miscarriage to Make Sure Taylor Wouldn't be Able to Take Ridge Away from her!
This was such an intense scene everybody thought Taylor Hayes Forrester was going to die😮 Ridge was so overwhelmed with emotion 🤧 he was holding Steffy and Phoebe in his arms
This is FABULOUS and B&B at its BEST!!! The creative ideas of Bill & Lee Bell clearly seen. Brad Bell was one of the writers, but his parents still had creative control. Today's B&B is Brad at the helm completely & you can clearly see the difference!!! Bring on Season 9, 11, & 12 which leads into Season 13, if I'm following correctly!!!
@@TriniT21 yes, to me he was one of the best developed male characters. His daydreams were hilarious! And the way he was always worrying about how to get himself out of trouble (that he had put himself in).
RN always had an extraordinary young look and HT had many surgeries even before she joined B&B and during. At that time KKL had none. Just look at her now and compare her to other ladies in their 60's. She probably looks better than you too lol
Ridge is in such a shock he loves Taylor and need her he is finally there having everything he ever wanted he only need his wife to be ok but his prayers will be answered
*Characterization in S13 compared to S8* Like many have noticed, there is a marked improvement in the writing in this season compared to where we are right now in Season 8. A lot of characters and character dynamics seem to be back in place. We can clearly see (as *Nick* noted) Taylor being fully restored to her Good Girl archetype (and she is in fact a kind of Super Taylor, because in this episode she comes across as nothing short of saintly). Brooke is back to being the Bad Girl she was meant to be (but in an extreme way - her "Super Brooke" era that will eventually lead her to Deacon has begun). The relationship between Brooke and Stephanie is back to normal, with Stephanie not even pretending to accept Brooke. Stephanie is largely herself (but the Big Bear confrontation we just missed shows the first signs of the "Gangsta Grandma" Stephanie to come - which is also a more extreme version of Stephanie). Ridge is exactly the same as he was during Caroline's death storyline, which is him being the most "adult" and stable version of himself. It feels like the imbalance of S8, with Taylor and Brooke switching roles, has been corrected.
For sure her out of body experience put her in that holy place which I personally don't like. Because there will be no good storylines for her character alone. She will give up working for a while, so she will be reduced to the Ridge's wife only and mother. Great season for Tridge as a couple but I prefer the first marriage.
@@babs4848 good point - both Taylor and Brooke's characterization has kind of "narrowed" or "specialized" - there is more focus on *one* defining trait for both of them - Taylor as the saintly wife and mother, Brooke as the siren and s e x symbol.
@@annieo6527 you perfectly wrote about that narrowed characterization in a post under season 8/9 and that is true for the Brooke character. Writers put the characters in the place senior wanted, but the narrowed characterization as you said, ruined some dynamics and that is true also for Stephanie.
It's always been how Ridge feels over her own father. Was the same thing when they thought Taylor died in the plane crash. Everything and everyone focused on how Ridge was feeling, with poor jack by the way...
@@-Lily7415 I guess I won't know til I get to that point.. Will come back and write a post about that then lol. But for now, as per the show. Seems like Taylor's spirit went up the elevator and not down 🤔😂
I totally agree with the comments of a very sensible viewer. At long last what I have been saying some ignorant shameful people writing what they did about Brooke. They attack her as if Brooke and Lang were the same always going on about her age. Ok some people show signs of age sooner but she kept her looks much more later on in contrast to Hunter and Moss . But I still think this doesn't have anything to do with the soap.
Brooke Logan Forrester was hoping that Taylor pulled through she didn't want her to die Stephanie and Eric really needs to stop being so cruel to Brooke Forrester they always nice to her when they want to get something out of her
It was a homeless man. I think Taylor called a shelter so that he would get help, and then they informed her that the man had later died of tuberculosis.
Sorry, but why is there so much hate for Katherine Kelly Lang? I get that her character Brooke isn't a very likeable person, but why would you attack the actress herself regarding her exterior. Nothing was wrong with her face or her body. It's really shameful and rather unintelligent that people are unable to distinguish the actor from the character. Quite toxic really.
I agree. It’s so disrespectful to her. If you don’t like the character that’s fine. But KKL is Brooke and she’s a great actress. She herself is a beautiful woman who has aged well.
Nice to see Andrea Evens back on Another soap opera Since Leaving One life to live in 1990 And The young and the restless in 1984 This was same year Andrea's real life stalker was caught .Taylor's ghost was on the Soap opera The Edge of Night who set up Raven's murder rap !!😂😂
I just watched SS 15 and Taylors desd.. now watch this SS and whatbi see first??? Again taylor in her bed narly dying. Jesus that writers dont miss any chance to giver her drama
Brooke stop the pretense you are so wicked and lacking a conscience at this time you are hoping she dies so STOP PRETENDING YOU HYPOCRITE get out of the room your evil vibes keeping Taylor back from life
I died when I got my right breast cancer surgery bleed to death... I saw the very bright light above my body and I saw my blood all over the floor etc... I should of stayed dead... I made mistake when I didn't stay in heaven.... It's 16 years. I have metastatic breast cancer all over me and I have brain tumor my left side of my head etc killing me slow... I want to be dead right now... I don't have no good reason to stay alive.... My abusive rotten so called family hate me don't care about me they are treating me like I am invisible and my husband never loved me he's user.... I hate everyone don't trust anyone.... I wish I wasn't born....
I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through. I will I could reach out in some way. Have faith, that's all I can say. That's the only thing that can give you hope and courage. Don't give up on yourself 🙏

To see for herself if Taylor doesn't make it, so in case she doesn't, she can finally tell Thorne that she can't be with him anymore. Brooke's there for Brooke.
Brooke Forrester was there because Taylor Hayes Forrester asked her to be there for her if anything happens to her she would want Ridge to be happy with her and take care of her babies she asked her to be there for Ridge just the way Caroline wanted😮🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
It's funny how the two times Ridge and Taylor were married in the 90's, the show had better writing, storylines and production values than the one time Ridge and Brooke were married.
Maybe because each character is in their own place as the senior wanted at first.

Taylor has an out of body experience and talks to Bill Bell about her place on the show.

LOLOLOL
And asks if he can finally get Brooke out the hospital
OMG thats Bill Bell?!?!?! 😱
All that Jack has undergone for his daughter yet still calm and solid as a rock

Ronn Moss and Ms. Hunter Tylo do amazing work together and they made it so easy for us to fall in love with Ridge & Taylor family love storylines.

YES! This season is really high energy. It's a good thing that we get so see it now that Season 8 has reached the dreaded second half of 1995.
Your so right about that
Yeah after seeing the 1994-1997 episodes/storylines it seems that B&B really kicked it into high gear in 1998(I know this is 1999 but the storylines in '98 are when the show improved again).

Having Clarke back on the show makes me realize how much I missed him in S8!
I've always loved Clarke. He was the best looking man on the show for me, and the actor perfectly acted the role of a sometimes likeable cad
@@TriniT21 yes, to me he was one of the best developed male characters. His daydreams were hilarious! And the way he was always worrying about how to get himself out of trouble (that he had put himself in).
The high definition really shows how much older Brooke look s than Ridge and Taylor.
In the scene with Stephanie, Brooke look s like her contemporary.
Your comment is quite ridiculous. You may like her or not, but KKL is undoubtedly a very beautiful woman and time has been very generosi with her
@@Rosa-vg6ek It's my opinion. I don't find her beautiful and s he looks older than her actual age. Others here feel the same way so g3t a g rip.

💯
Hunter Tylo really was one of the most beautiful women in the world in the 90s.
😢 sigh this is bringing back some memories 😢 God knows best
HE does indeed
❤️
❤
Ronn Moss, Hunter Tylo, and Joanna Johnson does spectacular performance of the art and entertainment.
Taylor looks better literally at Death's door than Brooke does healthy. 😆
Seriously the makeup job on the "dying" Taylor is extremely well done. The acting is also surprisingly realistic from Ridge and Taylor.
Stephanie is right, Brooke should not be in the hospital room for Taylor.
_Touched by An Angel_ tonight on CBS.

I love that show

Brooke was crying happy tears 🤣🤣🤣
Taylor’s dad just stands silently in the background while Ridge is falling apart ???
Taylor's dad and Ridge's mom, dad and ex.step-mom are all watching silently how hard Ridge is fighting to save the love of his life .
It's always been how Ridge feels over her own father.
Was the same thing when they thought Taylor died in the plane crash. Everything and everyone focused on how Ridge was feeling, with poor jack by the way...
Poor Jack! Nobody remembers him. Ever. He is what Thorne will be when he grows up.
Why are they all allowed in the room while she is coding??!!
I know a real hospital would not have allowed us to see any of this!
“Soap’s”🙂😳😳
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Eric and Ridge having both of their wives in one room is wild.
At least we know Taylor would go to heaven in the afterlife.
Not too sure about Brooke 😂.. That's prob why they never had her "die" 😂
She came back though, so by the time she really dies this may change and she may join Brooke wherever she is going.
Being a good or bad person isn’t the truth,the way, and the life
Into heaven
