Cartoon. 😂 Thank you @janea4old for posting!

I imagine something... A scene. While we see Rachel... Ashley working at the hospital... being her usual saintly and lovely self... a strange bish comes out of the elevator... she's here for her annual check-up... looks at Ashley from a distance... and whispers to the person that came with her - Do you think this is her? That monster. She changed her hair color... but I think it's her. I can't believe they let her work here. - Are you crazy? It's not her... - the person replies. Although... Еnd of scene. We never see these two people for a long time. 😂 That would make me soooooo interested and doubt every time I hear anyone say anything good about Ashley. It would actually make the "she's so amazing" things sinister. I am having a fan-fantasy moment. Don't hate me. 😂 That means I love the show.

OMG. THAT SEASON IS AMAZING. And wait till you get to the toxic season 8 and the amazing season 10. They are the pearls in my opinion. I'm so excited you haven't seen them. Keep me posted.

Judging by the way Brooke and the reactions to her... back in tacky lingerie last year were... I'm left with the impression that Bradley Bell thinks it's better to NOT CHANGE and just be proud that you've still GOT IT and that's IT. THAT'S THE END GAME for him in terms of growth and development. You were once a hot husband-stealing tramp... you SHALL REMAIN THAT. And be proud that you can still play-out the same scenarios. In Bradley Bell's mind and his expectations for viewership reaction... we should probably be like - "How amazing it is that Brooke is still able to do this - seduce Ridge with her boobs... 40 years later! This is riveting stuff! WOW." But it's not. And... It's not about age, damn it. Not about sex. It's about evolving. It's about not giving your viewers the same freaking meal every single year for decades. I am not opposed to seeing mid-60s woman be a sex kitten... Why not? He could have continued that erotica-aspect of Brooke by evolving it through different storylines. Hollis could have been a start. I would have loved seeing Ridge feel inadequate compared to a young hot fresh man that doesn't have that baggage that he has. A clean slate for Brooke. Something new that she can start breaking from scratch. And not anyone's brother, father... or son. Been there, done that. It could have been fun to play these new dynamics. Yes, cliche... but we are talking about Bradley Bell here. I would have loved to see the judgmental society that still to this day... condemns women who dare to date much younger guys. Madonna is being dragged about that every other week. Ridiculed that her lover is 25 or something like that. Brooke could have worked that angle perfectly and we all know... KKL is best when she plays Brooke in some kind of scandal or controversy. I would have added an older woman... late 60s actress... that plays the young guy's mother... who is instantly determined to break her late 20s son's relationship with that controversial legendary Bedroom queen. We also know that... KKL's Brooke shines... when she is opposed by a cold moralist. That's one of the beauties of the character. And she's been lacking this for years and years now. Bradley is attempting to create it with JMW's Steffy... but Steffy is NOT IT. She can never be a moralist after the history she had in the show. She's also not the vibe for it. We need a clean-slate bish that is very uptight and judgmental and... hates women like Brooke. But a bish that has the backbone to do this... not some ex-slut herself. I hope you guys can understand what I mean.

Jesus... Christ... KKL only has about 20 eps this year so far? Both Daphne Rose and Fake Taylor way ahead of her. Strange. I never believed this day would come. Thank you for this! @jcar03

The problem I have with Brooke is that... when you don't invest in developing your characters... and you repeat the same storylines every few years... you risk one day waking up and finding you've created yourself a caricature. That's when the real trouble starts... when the character has aged, but has not matured in any real way. Hasn't moved on from her initial traumas and motivations. And Brooke is still stuck in the beginning, some would even say - stuck in 1987 - chasing after Ridge after 40 years. Like the squirrel from Ice age... she just never stops chasing. Maturing would have been moving on from him, doing something new businesswise. Brooke could have transformed into a different type of matriarch - not the controlling granny... but a modern 2025 one - a woman approaching her 70s... but still with a youthful spirit and motivation to continue being creative and dynamic. With her past history in FC she could have become a leader of a new fashion brand. Yes, keep it lingerie... but separate it from FC. Brooke should have left FC long time ago in my opinion. She worked as a CEO and the scandalous stuff... but after that - it demeaned her to be a part of the company, but not do anything. They made her as important as Pam the lemon-bar biddy. Even if she stayed in FC - she should have taken control, not GIVEN control... but connived her way back to it... and then renamed it Logan Creations or something like this. She should have been narcissistic and messy as fu-k and I would have loved every minute of it. So what we have now is yet another repeat of the old triangle situation of Ridge picked Taylor, who is a safe choice... and Brooke is now... going to try and seduce him. REALLY? IN 2025 THIS IS THE STORYLINE? WOOOOOOW. I get that the triangle is iconic in a way - it worked when she was in her early 20s, 30s... hell... even 40s and 50s... but there comes a point where... it just... is tacky to see her humiliate herself like that. Brooke needs to be able to offer the world something more than boobs, ass and sex. Something more than "Riiidge, let's go to the steam room." KKL still looks amazing, that's not the point. The point is that it's sad to see her repeat the same thing for 4 decades... soon starting the 5th one. I will not be surprised if in 10 years... we still have Brooke in lingerie waiting for Ridge in his office to surprise him... when she is in her mid 70s. 10 years is nothing. It will pass like THAT. Knowing KKL, she'll probably look as stunning as now... and Bradley will continue writing her like this. Why I'm saying all of this - because I know where the triangle is heading and I'm just sick of watching this for the 1889th time. And maybe it's the second or third ride for Fake Ridge... and first ride for Fake Taylor... but it's the 12344232th ride for KKL's Brooke. How many times will we see her beg Ridge to pick her? How many times will we see her jump out in a bikini shocked to see Taylor? It's getting grotesque in terms of the character still acting like a woman in her early 30s... maybe even late 20s! I can't help but... laugh... But that laugh is slowly turning into weeping. P.S For illustration only - Here is Brooke's storyline with Ridge...

So glad I'm not the only fan here! I'm happy that I opened the topic. Which was the last season you watched?

I will never forget this... "the disrespect..."

That was her most fascinating character driven moment. ❤️😂

Yes... We need a BREAK from Rachel Ooops, Excuse me... Ashley... (in her current form). 🐍

😂

For some reason I type Rachel every time I think of Ashley. I have no idea why I do this. She's so basic at this point that I just... can't even name her right. 😂 EVERY single time I find myself that I have to correct the sentence because I've named her RACHEL again.

https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/04/economy/recession-trump-tariffs-intl/index.html Deep economic downturns are typically marked by mass job losses, bankruptcies and foreclosures — very much the opposite of Trump’s stated ambition to “Make America Wealthy Again” through his tariff plan. To the people who VOTED FOR THIS - Say Hello to your new recession. Thanks for doing this to all of us who wanted to actually save your ass. Remind me to never forgive you.

Love her.

How on Earth is it possible that outside feels like hardcore winter. The winds are horrific. It's minus 1 degree Celsius. IT WAS 24 degrees just a day ago. This can't be healthy.

I agree 100 percent about this. One thing I want to say about Ashley is that I think if the writing for her improves... the character may be saved. The actress... compared to some of the worst in the cast (Tomas... I am talking about you)... is Meryl Streep. The problem I have is more about the way they are writing her. The character is empty for me.

This was very... disappointing. A lot of fans were expecting him to be asked back along with Heidi. Very disappointing. I am still not losing hope for maybe... season 22. I just don't believe we've seen the last of Tim. If you haven't watched seasons 6 to 10 - WOW. You are in for a treat... if you have the time for it some day. These are my favorite seasons. After Season 10... though... not so much. If I would advise anyone to get into the show again... I would say - season 10. Lots of toxic personalities and drama. And lots of great designs. It was the show's 10 year anniversary season and the most grand in my opinion. And of course - who can forget Christian Siriano's season - 4. Season 8 is also very interesting. (Tim's least favorite season) VERY TOXIC at times. This is a clip from season 8.

More pictures from the anniversary party. I don't remember seeing these here. KKL looks smashing.

YEEEEES. I know 20 year olds who dream of being this fit. She's just WOW.

I searched and searched and couldn't find a topic. So here it is. I was a huge... HUGE fan of the OG Project Runway back in the day. I've recently started re-watching the seasons. They are being uploaded by Project Runway's youtube channel for free. And we also have the news of Heidi Klum coming back to be the host of the 21st season.

Let's get back to Basics.

I showed my husband this new promo and he said - Ugh... why is Brooke STILL in this situation?! BUT SHE LOOKS HOT THOUGH. Hahahahha and he is right. KKL still HAS IT.

THIS.
