The Bold Ones Episode 2 Eric’s Office- Eric, Brooke, and Ridge are waiting on Rick to arrive. Eric: Where is he? Brooke: Don’t worry Eric, he will be here soon. I just talked to him. Ridge: He better get here soon, or we will be late for the party. Eric: Where was he? Brooke: The jet was landing at the airport. Eric: Good. I can’t wait to see him. Brooke: Me too. It seems like a year since we have seen him. Ridge: Not nearly enough if you ask me. Brooke: Ridge! Eric: Ridge! Now you are both my sons, and I love you just the same, but I cannot have you talking about you brother that way. Brooke: I know you and Rick have your differences, but please for the sake of the family can you please work past them. Ridge: Brooke, I have no problem with him. It’s your son that has the problem. He hates me. Eric: That’s crazy! Rick is your brother. Ridge: Exactly dad, Rick is jealous that I am his brother. He hates that I wasn’t kicked to the curb, when the truth came out that Massimo was my biological father. Brooke: Like you and Throne haven’t had your differences? You two are going to work out your problems, so we can all be a happy family. Ridge: Logan, he despises me even more because I’m married to you again. Hell, he probably blames me for his loosing his job. Rick enters. Rick: You’re damn right I do. Insomnia Café Donna: Okay guys the sign is a little lower on the left, C.J. can you raise your end up just a tad? Okay great, right there. No honey now your side is too high! Thorne: How about now? Donna: Right there! Don’t move. CJ: I need to go to the back and see if the cake has been delivered. Donna: Thanks, and can you make sure that it says “Congratulations Storm” Thorne: What are you so tense about? The party is going to be a success. Donna: I hope so; I just want it to be perfect for my brother. He has done so much for me over the years; I just want to pay him back. Thorne: He will love it. ( he kisses her, but she doesn’t kiss back) Stop worrying about the party. Donna: It isn’t the party so much, it’s us. Thorne: What about us? I thought we were having a good time together. Donna: We are, but I always feel awkward around your parents, like they resent me for working for Nick. I’ve been in relationships before that I thought were going somewhere and then the parents got in the way, and I got burned. I just don’t want that to happen again. Thorne: My parents have no problem with you. The fact that you work for Nick now is a bit complicated, but we are making it work. We would love to bring you on at Originals, but our budget is kind of strapped, but when the purse strings loosen... Donna: They loosened enough to bring on Ashley Abbott. It’s was in all the trades this morning, plus Rick is coming back. Thorne: I was against Ashley coming on board, and Rick is family. Donna: I know and I’m glad my nephew is back with his family, its just we have a great thing going and I love Ally, and I just don’t want our professional lives getting in the way of our personal ones. CJ: I hate to interrupt, but the caterer insist you told her the cake said “Congratulations Sam” Donna: No!! ( she runs towards the kitchen) (Thorne grabs her arm) Thorne: Don’t worry about it; we love each other it’s all that matters. (She kisses him) CJ: Look who’s here! What’s up man! Rick: Not much man. (they shake hands) CJ: So are you back for a visit? Rick: Looks like I will be here for a while. CJ: Cool, it will be like old times. Rick: Hey, I’m sorry to hear about your mother. I hate that I couldn’t make the services. CJ: Thanks, its okay, I got your card. I miss her like crazy, but I know she’s happy now, with Macy and Darla. Do you want a coffee? Rick: I would love one, I need a caffeine kick. (they go to the bar) Thorne comes out of the kitchen Thorne: Hey Guys, I just called Felicia she has stalled Storm as long as she can; they are on their way now. Brooke: Is there anything I can do to help? Donna: No, I have everything under control, except for a minor cake problem. Ridge: Is Phoebe here yet? Thorne: I haven’t seen her. Brooke: She will be here; she is a responsible young woman. Speaking of… She walks in Phoebe: Did I miss the party or something. Ridge: No, honey you’re right on time. Phoebe: Is that Rick at the bar! Ridge: yeah….. Brooke: Why don’t you go over and say hello, I know he will love to see you. Ridge: Why did you do that? Brooke: What? You don’t want our children to have conversations with each other? Ridge: (changing the subject) Bridget you’re here. Bridget: (tired) Hey Ridge, hi mom. Brooke: Honey, are you alright? Bridget: yeah I’m fine, I’m just exhausted, and I just got off a double shift. I’m glad this party is at a coffee house. ( she goes to the bar) Phoebe approaches Rick, but is afraid to say anything. She walks up to him then turns away. Rick: Phoebe is that you? Phoebe: Yeah. It’s me. Hi Rick. He hugs her and notices that Ridge is staring him down. Rick: You look different since I saw you last, you’re grown up now. Phoebe: I’m 18 now. Rick: Wow. Well you look great, what have you been up to? Phoebe: Thanks. Just enjoying my summer, so are you in just for a visit? Rick: I’m here for a while actually. Phoebe: Great! I mean thats great for your family. Rick: Yeah I suppose, I am going to tell my sister hello. Hopefully, I will see you around. She smiles Ridge is still looking at him, Rick smiles at him. Rick: Hey sis. Bridget: Hey, your back. Rick: You look like hell. CJ: She should, she just finished a double shift. I’m going to let you two catch up. Bridget: I was just telling CJ, I’m having a real hard time at work. My supervisor will not let up on me. Rick: What is he doing? Bridget: He hates me, because I come from a privileged family. Rick: That’s crazy, did he really say that? Bridget: Not in so many words, He hates me because he had to struggle through med school financially. He makes little comments all the time, always gives me the worse assignments… Rick: Do you want me to talk to him? Bridget: No, I can handle it, don’t worry about me. Felicia comes running in. Felicia: Okay, he’s coming! Donna: Alright everybody when he comes in everybody yell “congratulations” He enters “Congratulations” Storm: Wow, I never would have guessed that there was a party waiting for me (sarcastically) Donna: You knew! Storm: I didn’t get elected A.D. A. of L.A. County for nothing. Felicia: You didn’t have a clue. Storm: Oh yeah, you were so subtle with “shut up and get in the car, we’re going to a party” (mimicking Felicia’s voice) Felicia: I do not sound like that, and I did not say that! Donna I promise. Storm: Yes you di.. Felicia: Shut up. And eat some cake. Storm: Who is Sam? Donna: I’m sorry, it was a mix up. Rick sees Phoebe at the bar and decides to set his plan in motion. Rick: Did you get some “Sam” Cake. Phoebe: A little piece, I’m trying to watch my carbs. Rick: You don’t need to worry about that, you have a great figure. Ridge: Look at him over there Brooke: You mean Rick? What is he doing? Ridge: Flirting with my daughter. Brooke: Oh Ridge, please. Ridge: I’m serious Logan. He has been flirting with her all night. Brooke: Rick is a nice guy he is just talking to her, I doubt he is flirting with Phoebe, and if is would that be so bad? Ridge: Yeah it would, I don’t want him anywhere near my daughter. Brooke: Ridge you are blowing things out of proportion, they are just talking, it’s completely harmless. Ridge: I don’t want your twenty something son seducing my impressionable 18 year old daughter. Brooke: Seducing! Ridge now you have crossed the line, you need to lay off Rick. He hasn’t been back in town twenty four hours and you….. Ridge: He hasn’t been back in town for twenty four hours and is already putting the moves on my daughter trying to stick it to me! The music stops and everybody looks at them. Brooke: That’s it Ridge, until you can put this negative obsession with my son behind you we can’t be together. I’m going home, to our bed, when you get home sleep in one of the guest rooms. Next on The Rich and the Famous: Ashley gets a surprise visit from somebody from her past. & A Forrester returns home.

Yes. I have gotten a little behind look for a new episode to be posted shortly and more episodes to be posted on a more regular basis.

The Bold Ones Episode 1 Forrester Originals boardroom All of the family is there Eric, Stephanie, Ridge, Brooke, Thorne, and Felicia. Eric: I think we all know why I called this special meeting. We need an official vote on whether to bring on Ashley Abbott to create a new fragrance to help with the launch of our new line. Stephanie: I think it’s a great idea, we have known the Abbott family for years and Ashley is a wonderful chemist. Ridge: I agree mother, Jabot made a mistake letting her slip through their fingers. Felicia: I vote yes too. This could be very marketable… Thorne: If it’s a success, sis. What if the fragrance stinks? Are we sure this is the right time to do something this extravagant? Brooke: I agree with Thorne, Eric. This is a risky move, especially with us jumpstarting a new company. Stephanie: Oh Brooke why am I not surprised? And Thorne I am ashamed of you, don’t you have more confidence in your father and brother and sister, and yourself? Thorne: Of course I have confidence, its just you never know what the public wants; I just don’t want us to fall on our faces, the first second out of the gate. Eric: We won’t son, because we are Foresters. Ridge: Damn it! We wouldn’t even be in this situation if it wasn’t for Nick Marone. Felicia: I am with dad. We will show them, Nick doesn’t have a clue about fashion. Thorne: Fine I am in, but don’t make me say I told you so. Ridge: Logan… Brooke: Alright, this could be good thing. Eric: Great. Then Ashley Abbott is now a member of Forrester Originals. Stephanie: Eric would you like me to call Ashley and give her the news. Eric: Thanks. (He kisses her on the cheek) This is going to be a good thing. I can feel it. (Then kisses her on the lips) The Marone Mansion- Nick and Taylor are walking to the front door. Taylor: I am a little nervous. Nick: Don’t be, my parents love you. Taylor: I am not so sure; I know they prefer Brooke. Nick: They know I love you and only you now. All they want is for me to be happy. Taylor: And being with me makes you happy? Nick: Why would you even ask that, I love you, I want to marry you, YOU are carrying my child. Now let’s go in and tell them the news. Taylor: I don’t know why I am nervous, it’s not like I haven’t never done this before. Stephanie’s Office Stephanie’s at her desk on the phone Stephanie: Hello, Ashley. It’s Stephanie Forrester. Ashley: Stephanie, yes. Hello. Stephanie: Ashley, I have wonderful news, you were voted in unanimously! On behalf of Eric and the rest of the board, I would like to welcome you to Forrester Originals. That is if.. you are still interested. Ashley: Yes of course I am. Thank you so much! Stephanie: Listen I have another meeting I need to get to; I just wanted to call you personally and give you the news. Ashley: Thank you again Stephanie. Stephanie: Sure, I know you are going to be a great asset to the company. When can you come down and sign some papers? Ashley: How about later today? Stephanie: That sounds great. Brooke’s office Brooke is looking out the window with a preoccupied look on her face. Ridge knocks on the door and enters. Ridge: Logan… something on your mind. Brooke: It’s Rick. I am worried about him. Ever since Nick bought Forrester Creations, he has been out of job. Ridge: Well Dad asked him to join us here at Originals. Brooke: I know, but he didn’t want to leave Paris, now he’s having a hard time finding a new job, it’s not that easy. Ridge: Then tell him to come back home, we can make room for him. Brooke: He just doesn’t want to look like a failure to the rest of the family. Ridge: Does he want to come back or not? Brooke: He does. He just doesn’t want to give up his life in Paris. Ridge: He must have some life. Thomas has been there for months studying with the best designers and Rick has barely acknowledged his being there. Brooke: Rick was very busy working for Forrester International, you know that. Ridge: Look I am not going to get into another fight with you over Rick. If he wants to come back that’s great. If he doesn’t, that’s fine too. Now come on we are late for the marketing meeting. Marone Mansion Nick and Taylor are waiting at the door. Jackie answers it. Jackie: Hello Nicky! How are you darling? Nick: I’m fine mom, I didn’t come alone. Jackie: Yes of course, hello Taylor. Taylor: Jackie. Nick: Where is dad? Jackie: He is actually out back enjoying the sun for once. Nick: I will go wheel him in. Taylor: Has he had anymore episodes? Jackie: No and when he comes in, please don’t bring up anything about his stroke. He has a lot of pride and knowing that something happened to him that he couldn’t control….. Taylor: I understand, if he needs to talk about it, I wouldn’t mind. Jackie: Thank you Taylor and I know that you are a wonderful therapist, but Massimo Marone is not one to open up about his feelings- to anyone. In fact he rarely speaks now, and the speech therapist cleared him a month ago. Nick pushes Massimo in his wheel chair to the sitting area. Nick: Dad, Taylor and I didn’t come over just to have lunch we have something important to tell you and mother. Jackie: Nicky, what is it? Nick: I asked Taylor to marry me. Taylor: And I said yes! Jackie: Nicky… Nick: And mother before you say anything else, Taylor is also carrying my child,(to Massimo) your grandchild Pop. (Massimo Smiles) Jackie: Oh, Nicky. I am so happy for you! And you Taylor. (she hugs her) The Cook enters. Cook: Lunch is served Jackie: Come along darling.(To Massimo) Nick: I’ll take him in mom. Jackie and Taylor leave for the dinning room. Nick: Okay Pop lets go eat some grub. Massimo: (raising his hand) Wait! Nick: Pop! Are you alright? Massimo: I am fine, what I am worried about is your business sense. Nick: What are you talking about? Massimo: I am very happy for you son, you have a woman who loves you and an heir on the way, but where is your head for business? Buying Forrester Creations, while nearly bankrupting Morone Industries, just to stick it to your brother! You had better turn a profit, my boy or we will all be out on the streets!
