And in the end... all of the characters in the show act incredibly immature. Hope is like a teenager... Brooke is stuck in being Forever 30. Ridge has 0 character development. Only Steffy is acting like this grand-dame matron. So... it's quite the irony. They cater to older demographic, yet don't even TRY to write mature, deep, multi-dimensional characters. The end result is this strange show that has aged in appearance, but everyone still acts like teenagers. I would DIE for some maturity and a level of experience on my screen. A character, a real matriarch that is not only known for stripping to lingerie or sleeping with the in laws. Someone 65+ that can put these little b-tches back in their spots. That could have been a Taylor re-cast that was age-appropriate, but Bradley decided to make her yet another stuck in her middle 30s character. Sad.
