mama mia!

Of all the many memories between a mother and a daughter, the best Ridge could come up with was “Remember when Phoebe lost her wallet? You were the first person she called.”?!

Are you kidding me? THAT’S the memory that best depicts how she depended on her mother? Oy.

bye bye phoebe bye bye

I wonder if they deliberately didn't show Taylor's reaction to Phoebe's death because of Hunter Tylo's personal situation?

I keep thinking the whole storyline must be incredibly difficult for her to deal with.

advice for the lovelorn

I think Taylor was totally out of line (and DESPERATE) gathering her children together to guilt Ridge into coming home. It doesn’t matter what their feelings are, they shouldn’t try to force him into feeling something that isn’t there. And those grown kids should know better. We can’t pick and choose who we love.

Katy is wise to wonder how long she’ll be happy with Nick because now that Brooke is free of Ridge you just know it’ll be a matter of seconds before he’s “in love” with Brooke again. The man has the attention span of a gnat.

LOL’ing at Steffie suggesting she get the beer during a family tennis match right in front of dear old alcoholic Mom.

what's goin' on

Rick can boo hoo all he wants. He wouldn't be paralyzed if he hadn't gone after Ridge. Period.

And why in the world is Brooke going psycho on Taylor's ass for calling off the wedding? Taylor had no choice. Would Brooke rather she married Rick while being in love with Ridge?

Again, things wouldn't have accelerated to the point they did if Rick hadn't gone after Ridge.

Had a good LAUGH when Brooke accused Taylor of going after men who were "connected to" her. How could she not? Brooke has slept with everyone in town.

gotta love that dialogue

Taylor, about her son Jack: "I should be the most important person in the world to him."

Someone has an inflated view of themselves.

mama mia

Oh geez, once again Brooke is starting her "Taylor, I am not a threat to you" bullshit. She always says this AFTER she runs to Nick and sets him off.

Truthfully, I don't know why Taylor doesn't pony up and admit that she's not bonding with Jack because she resents the fact that Brooke is his biological mother and the fact that she ruined her happiness by butting in. It's perfectly understandable. When it first happened, I remember thinking, "If that ever happened to me, I'd give the baby up completely" because I knew I'd never be able to get past something like that.

I'm also sick of Brooke's patronizing "let me help you" crap, too, because the minute something happens she runs to Nick bellyaching about how she's so worried about Jack and she always manages to bring up Taylor's "past" aka the boozing without actually saying so.

thursday's bitch

I wonder if Eric isn't going to remember that Donna is his wife, a la Nick and Phyllis?

Nick actually spent time alone with Brooke on his boat, and he didn’t even try to have sex with her! Gosh, that’s some sort of a record, isn’t it? Oh, wait. He's already had her. Next up, Donna.

I thought it was comical when Taylor brought out a supposedly distressed Jack on Wednesday’s show, and yet it was perfectly clear that he wasn’t crying at all

the indecisive and the idiotic

Did you see Indecisive Nick today? Trying to make a decision about the baby's mother must have given Nick a Tylenol sized headache. And wasn't it great how he stood up for Taylor and said, "Of course, you're the baby's mother!" What a jerk. Brooke leads him around by his penis.

After weeks of saying Taylor is the baby's mother, Brooke suddenly decides to sue for custody? On what basis? Didn't she sign away her rights? I HOPE the judge not only gives custody to Taylor, I hope Brooke is forbidden to see the baby until he's older. She's constantly interfering and she's not allowing Taylor to really establish a mother/son relationship with this child.

seen one, ya seen 'em all

Brooke lecturing Taylor about honoring her daughter’s feelings is an absolute joke. She wants Taylor to stop dating Rick because of Phoebe, yet she’s the one who had a BABY with her daughter’s husband? Who writes this crap? I have to say, I am absolutely LOVING this Taylor/Rick affair, just because it puts the screws to Brooke, who always seems to have the upper hand.

Sadly, TPTB are apparently turning Katie in to the same sort of Stepford ’Ho B&B is famous for. The women sleep with whomever they want, without regard for family ties or decency, and now Katie is doing it, too. She manipulated a complacent Bridget into a relationship with Nick to keep him away from Brooke, knowing how much Bridget was hurt when she and Nick ended their marriage, and today Katie sucks face with Nick. The only female on the show who isn’t acting this way is Stephanie, and I’m sure they’d be writing her that way, too, if she were younger.

welcome to my nightmare

There’s WAY TOO MUCH bed hopping going on at The Bold and The Beautiful. There always has been, but lately it’s downright disgraceful that the writers can’t come up with a plot line that doesn’t involve someone declaring their love one minute, then changing their minds five minutes later and declaring their undying love for someone else. Can you say wishy washy?

Brooke is the worst. Let’s just go back to last year when she was in love with Ridge. Taylor came home and Ridge couldn’t make up his mind who he wanted to be with. (For such successful business people, it’s amazing they can’t make a decision and stick to it for longer than it takes my bread to toast.) So she gravitated to Nick, and found comfort in his arms, after taking him from her own daughter. Then Ridge thought maybe he wanted to be with her, so she dumped Nick and went back to Ridge. Now Nick has had a baby with Taylor and suddenly Brooke decides maybe she wants Nick again. Nick no sooner gets finished assuring his emotionally unstable wife Taylor that he loves her forever, when he’s sniffing Brooke’s butthole again. Can you see why this is so aggravating? The writers aren’t taking the time to develop any storylines. They’re just jumping from one couple to another.

I think the biggest problem with B&B is that there are not enough families on the show. Having mainly the Forrester’s and the Logan’s causes the program to be almost incestuous at times.

And apparently there are no minority people living in Los Angeles. Everyone is extremely wealthy and white. TPTB seem almost afraid to add other characters to the show. If they need anyone, they tend to “borrow” a character from The Young and The Restless.

As with most soaps, they have one doctor, one lawyer, one Indian chief. (Except for the Indian chief because he would fall into the minority category, and we’ve already noted there are no minorities living in L.A.)

Although the writers seemed to have backed off of Stephanie’s character as of late, nothing is more gross than listening to her wax poetic about her son Ridge, who must have been her lover in a former lifetime. Or, from the looks of it, earlier in this lifetime.

Eric having sex with much younger Donna? ICK. Rick having sex with much older Taylor? UGH. A young Phoebe going after an older Rick? Gross since he’s going after her MOTHER. Again, can’t TPTB find actors/actresses within the same age range?

I think the writer’s need to stop trying to distract the viewers from real story lines by changing couples every week. I think they need to bring on more characters that are NOT related to the Logan’s or the Forrester’s and I think they need to bring on some minority characters
