Raising a 5 month old dog is like raising a child. Sometimes I have no energy to even blink and sometimes I just love him so much I can't wait to wake up and see him.

Bradley should really invite Susan Lucci to play a new matriarch. This show lacks AN OLDER woman in power. Brooke, as much as she is not a little girl anymore, will forever be the siren for me. She is not a matriarch. We need a new older woman in charge in this show. We need someone Stephanie like.

You're right. We're probably never gonna see eye to eye on this, so it's meaningless going around in circles. One thing we do agree on however is the quality (or lack thereof) in the writing for this show.   

I've been watching Bold as a comedy for years and I have never taken anything serious in the last 20 years. Sometimes Bradley is so bad HE IS GOOD. I have to be honest... I kinda wish Brooke would sleep with Liam and then get pregnant or get and STD or something. I need Liam to be completely destroyed as a character, so he would be finally written off in a year or two. And we all know a way out of the show is through Brooke's lingerie. 

I need something scandalous and Hope and Thomas doesn't cut it. Something cheap for Christmas... and the new year. Bradley has lost his touch in the incest stories.

It may have been stupid, but the re-write still happened and is part of the show's history. I do agree with you that Macy probably was trying to kill both herself and Brooke, but that doesn't change the fact that they both survived and Macy died years later. If she did die.... we don't know that for sure since it happened off screen.

Please. You understand what I am saying. In your way of thinking WE SHOULD NEVER criticize Taylor for killing someone BECAUSE in a year this SOMEONE MAY BE ALIVE. I am executing your argument to your previous statement.  

But... that's it for me. I am not beating that dead horse about Brooke on... Christmas. Let's all be marry and just have a laugh at all this bad writing in the show, OK.  

Yeah she did drive Macy to kill herself. Watch the scenes. Macy decided to crash since Brooke told HER THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN do about it. And then she realized she had lost Thorne. I think she attempted to kill Brooke and kill herself in that moment. That is how I perceive it. What THEY REWROTE years later is ANOTHER THING. Macy died in 2000. The re-wrote was STUPID.

I'm not talking about the Bible scene. I'm talking in general. Brooke is constantly called names (HO-gan for instance) and her past is always dragged up, whereas other characters are allowed to move on from their past.

It is because Brooke is a compilation of DISGUSTING shocking scandals YEAR AFTER YEAR. COMPILATION. It is not one thing, or two things. It is... every year... at least in the past. 

But that doesn't make me NOT love KKL. She will forever be my favorite actress AND WITHOUT the narcissistic and histrionic Brooke, Bold will not be Bold.

I myself think the most vile thing she ever did was JUST in the beginning, when she lied and manipulated Caroline who was just raped and vulnerable... hid the letter from Ridge and made her think Ridge doesn't want her anymore. She completely manipulated this relationship and in the end Caroline's life was in ruins.  This is the scene Caroline finally sees Brooke's real face.

Thank you!

I find it interesting how Brooke is so reviled while other characters, who have done far worse than she has, receive nowhere near the same level of criticism. What does that say about people's views on sexuality vs violence for instance? Stephanie used to bully, beat and belittle anyone who dared to oppose her, and she put her whole family through agony when she went as far as faking a heart-attack just to get her own way. And Taylor shot an unarmed man from behind in cold blood. That is way worse than anything Brooke has ever done.

Brooke slept with her son in law, when she was married to Eric. She was then pregnant and didn't know if it was the father or the son. EW.

Brooke got pregnant by her son in law, her daughter's husband. I would say this breaks the disgusting meter. 

Brooke slept with her sister's husband and got pregnant. Now this is some kind of Maury show or Oprah show level of perversion.

She has no comparison in the show and there is no" thing about people's views on sexuality vs violence" here.  Brooke is a sexual predator and she isn't prejudiced or discriminated against. SHE IS VIOLENT in her own way and she destroyed lives.

She drove Macy to kill herself, taking away her husband.  I call this VIOLENT. This woman deserves criticism and anyone who thinks she does not is out of their mind. 

Now... what these other people did is something different and I think yeah... they deserved MORE criticism and backlash, but Taylor killing someone or Stephanie faking a heart attack don't make sleeping with your daughter and sister's husbands any less DISGUSTING and shocking.

This Eric storyline is so slow and drown out, it will make his real passing in the show... Fail. You just don't do this for so long.

Brooke used to be outrageously slutty for sleeping her way through the family but now that they've done that with every character (Taylor, Steffy, Donna, Katie, Eric, Bill, Ridge, Thorne, etc have all done it) she really doesn't seem that bad anymore. At least she hasn't killed anyone and is generally a pleasant person. She isn't sanctimonious either (just briefly with Amber and that was twenty years ago).

She ended up being one of the more moral characters on the show TBH. Not what I would have thought during the 90s!

Sluts are easiest to redeem. She hasn't killed or even beaten up anyone. Pretty much all newer fans don't even know she has slept with an entire gene pool and got pregnant like... 6-7 times including her failed pregnancies. She has had more than 20 marriages. That is hardcore. 

Happy Holidays to you all! Be happy and healthy and may Santa bring a lot of presents!

I don't know what is going on with Hope's hair and wardrobe. Annika is so beautiful and lately she looks 20 years older in style. And that is not her haircut. 

I wish you a wonderful, healthy and happy Christmas and unforgettable New Year. This is the best forum and most amazing community ever.  

P.S a big soapy hug from my dog Elmo, this is his first Christmas, as he is only 5 months!

Stephanie should have been arrested, tried and convicted for facilitating the rape.

I agree. Giving a shady man a key to your enemy's home should have landed her in jail.

B&B is preempted for NFL football on CBS and CTV-Canada.
No new episode, and no rerun. Entirely preempted.

I will miss Brooke reading the bible. Football on Christmas... and no Brooke with the Bible. Boohooo.

Is the New York legacy online and where can I see it? 

I've seen a backlash from italian fans online, which is a huge target audience for this rotten show... I've read so many comments about how wrong it was in italian. It is good to know that this reaction is all around the world. Krista managed to steal our hearts.

It’s not from an US Soap but from the UK.

Silas Blissett from Hollyoaks! He was one of the smartest and best written serial killer ever in mY opinion. He killed like promiscuous girls. I liked to call him the Slu* Slayer lol

I saw some clips and he makes my skin crawl...
