B&B: Week of April 7, 2008 Discussion!

[YRBB]

Discuss life is L.A.!

[Ann_SS]

Today was a great episode. I can't believe no one has posted as yet. Ridge was out of character being so intuitive about Brooke and giving advise to Bridget. Taylor got to take her son despite Brooke's machinations. Phoebe and Bridget need to wake the hell up.

[P.J.]

I cringe every time someone bows at Taylor's feet over her mothering skills. Regardless of how she dealt with her children (and depending on the timeline, Brooke raised them longer anyway..), those children were not biologically Brooke's. I have trouble understanding why no one understands why Brooke is upset at the thought that the woman who flipped out and blamed Brooke for the end of her marriage, and is now openly consorting with Brooke's other biological son, taking care of an infant.

And no matter what Nick says, he's a friggin' hypocrite. The minute he found out Brooke was Jack's bio-mom, he was whispering in her ear about how they were "destined" to be together. How he pushed her to be a mother to Jack. Now that Brooke can't commit to being a "happy little family" with him, she's just the "egg donor". He needs to STFU and die.

The talk between Bridge and Ridge??? Gave me the freakin' creeps after their near incestuous hook-up. Even though I admired the effects of his personality transplant, suddenly becoming patient and wise like an owl.

Freaking brilliant comments PJ!

The entire town should be against taywhore raising jack. is everyone forgetting how she murdered darla and used her teen daughter to cover it up? what kind of a parent would let their teen daughter cover their tracks? let's not even begin with her drinking repeatedly while alone with baby jack! hello! has she even gone back to AA? and yet taywhore set herself on fire while drunk on wine and involved with ridge years ago!

b&b missed a great opportunity with macy. her return was great when she was in a rivalry with brooke, was married to deacon and was the violent, recovering town alcoholic. taywhore is merely a lightweight version of macy since hunter tylo is not on the same level of bobbie eakes' (ex-macy) acting.

b&b is terrible lately. all shock value (rick/taywhore, taywhore being good enough to take jack for a night, ridge being "wise" to bridget of all people) and no gripping and logical storylines. and no one on the show is bringing up the fact that rick once thought of tay as a mother figure! she taught him how to swim as a child and he even told her that he wished she was his mom! go on youtube since it must be there. it's beyond disgusting and oedipal for tay to be after rick only for revenge against brooke. and yet tay is still painted as the "good" one!

bridget should be telling rick not to get involved with tay since she went through that with ridge. also, do rick and tay even know brooke was raped, and how tay's role in taking ridge jr. and hope away from brooke led to the rape?

[Cheap21]

No Bridget wasnt telling Ridge that him not marrying Brooke was putting her life on hold. Is she crazy? Brooke married 2 men before (Whip and Eric) so Bridget could keep her man at the time and look how much good that did her. Ridge is talkign with sense and realizes and acknowledges Brooke's connection with Nick unlike Bridget who'd rather live in LaLa land

Some would argue the reverse as Taylor had the rivalry with Brooke YEARS before she and Macy started feuding.

Taylor is Jack's mother and deserves to see him. Using Rick as an excuse for why she cant is weak on Brooke and Nick's part. If anythign thats a reason why she should since he has been a rock for her and has helped her become stronger and deal with what has happened to her life

No, I dont beleive Taylor and Rick know about the rape. Only a select few were told and they were not. Oh please, I hope you arent blaming Taylor for her rape now bc thats a bit far stretch even for you.

[PJA]

Nick gets on my nerves seriously. Everyone is blaming Brooke for everything but really it's all his fault. If he wasn't in love with Brooke, he and Taylor would still be together, but they broke up because HE still had feelings for Brooke which led to the seperation and now the custody issue. Also he's stringing Bridget along and making passes at katie.

but tay was "different" back then. she wasn't the town's raging alcoholic. she was the town hypocrite who sniffed after brooke's scraps and pretended to be saintly but used stephanie to do her dirty work.

macy was the town drunk who repeatedly fell on and off the wagon and endangered others in the process (keith, brooke, thorne and even herself). hunter tylo is merely filling the big shoes left by bobbie eakes's exit, yet her acting pales in comparison. even as a character, macy is much more compelling compared to taywhore. and macy has always had baby issues since she never had children and then couldn't give birth when she reunited with thorne. it would've been a LOT more compelling if macy and brooke were fighting over baby jack since macy has always wanted a kid. she even went mental over hope and took custody of rick the third/deacon jr. years ago. macy has always wanted a child, while taywhore could care less about her children. steffie is as far away from her as geography permits. she never mentions thomas and phoebe lives in a dorm when she could easily live with her whore of a mother. the only reason taywhore wants jack is because he's brooke's biological child and the only reason tay wants to do rick is because he's brooke's son. tay is that twisted.

Taylor is Jack's mother and deserves to see him. Using Rick as an excuse for why she cant is weak on Brooke and Nick's part. If anythign thats a reason why she should since he has been a rock for her and has helped her become stronger and deal with what has happened to her life

you're joking right? rick is supportive of her! hilarious! as a psychiatrist she should know how destructive her relationship with rick is, but tay takes either brooke's scraps (ridge, nick, thorne) or men related to brooke (rick, stephen, storm) since she can't have brooke. pretty soon she'll be sniffing after ridge jr. once he's rapidly aged.

No, I dont beleive Taylor and Rick know about the rape. Only a select few were told and they were not. Oh please, I hope you arent blaming Taylor for her rape now bc thats a bit far stretch even for you.

tay knew of stephanie's plan to insinuate a virtual stranger like andy into brooke's life. as a psychiatrist, she should know that that is insane of stephanie to do that. and since stephanie is capable of committing crimes (like faking a heart attack, being violent, etc.), tay should have told brooke about andy.

[Ann_SS]

I look forward Taylor and Rick having a passionate affair. I hope Taylor sleeps her way through Brooke's family, the way Brooke has slept her way through the Forresters. Payback is a bitch. Brooke will now know what Stephanie had to suffer through all those years. Of course, the ultimate karma is that one of Taylor's infertile eggs pops back to life to combine Rick's virile sperm to produce Brooke's first grandchild. I would die laughing as Brooke suffers a complete nervous breakdown. I live in hope to see that day.

[Cheap21]

Again and people can say that Macy was filling in for Taylor's shoes as Brooke's arch nemesis as Taylor was Brooke's biggest competition outside of Stephanie. They were repeating the Taylor/Brooke feud with Macy thrown in for Taylor.

No Im not joking. Rick has been the ONLY person that has been there for her throughout this whole mess. Let's face it, she was a wreck. She was drinking, going off and not thinking or acting rationally. Rick helped her to sober up and look at the bigger picture. He has given her a sounding board to vent off and release tension and he has been supporting her right to be with her son. No one else has done this much for Taylor. Granted he does have some intetnions that I dont agree with bc they shouldnt be in a relationship, but that doesnt negate the positive influence he has had in her life. Without him, she probably wouldnt have been able to handle things as well as she has recently.

No, I dont beleive Taylor and Rick know about the rape. Only a select few were told and they were not. Oh please, I hope you arent blaming Taylor for her rape now bc thats a bit far stretch even for you.

It is not Taylor's fault, Brooke got raped. I cant recall to what extent she knew about Stephanie's doing then, but it doesnt matter bc she did not sic that guy on Brooke. Taylor was removed from the situation and did not have much to do with Brooke or the Forrester's outside of her doctor, Bridget.

[P.J.]

You have a point. Using Rick as the excuse is stupid. Using her alcoholism and mental breakdown (which from what I've seen hasn't been treated) would be better.

I think Taylor knows. I find it hard to believe that Nick knew and wouldn't have told her. Rick, I can't say either way.

[PJA]

Taylor slept through the Forresters too. Thorne, Ridge and now Rick and also Ridge's other brother Nick. She will have slept through two families when all is said and done.

[P.J.]

Yeah...as soon as Taylor sleeps with Rick, she's ALREADY slept through Brooke's family. She's at least dated Storm (and probably more), she slept with Stephen so he could buy her 3% of Forrester when Nick was married to Brooke and taking Forrester away from the family for the years of abuse they heaped on Brooke, and now Rick. Unless Donna and Katie plan on becoming lesbians, Tay's gotten her due. Plus, she's got Jack, Brooke's biological child.

[bakedghoti]

tay has slept through 3 clans. she's slept through the forresters (married ridge, engaged to thorne, seducing rick), the logans (engaged to storm, slept with stephen, now seducing rick) and the marones (married nick, married ridge). pretty soon she'll be after ridge jr. because tay's a nymphomaniac.

[bakedghoti]

Again and people can say that Macy was filling in for Taylor's shoes as Brooke's arch nemesis as Taylor was Brooke's biggest competition outside of Stephanie. They were repeating the Taylor/Brooke feud with Macy thrown in for Taylor.

the big difference, which you are not getting, is that they never CHANGED macy's character. macy has always been the recovering alcoholic who did not have children. they made tay into the macy character since tay was once the "saintly" hypocrite and now she's the raging alcoholic who suddenly has either maternal instincts for brooke's child or wants to sleep with brooke's child. that is beyond disgusting................

No Im not joking. Rick has been the ONLY person that has been there for her throughout this whole mess. Let's face it, she was a wreck. She was drinking, going off and not thinking or acting rationally. Rick helped her to sober up and look at the bigger picture.

Without him, she probably wouldnt have been able to handle things as well as she has recently.

this is the most HILARIOUS post ever! the justification you use for rick/tay is beyond logic and reason. if that whore needs a sounding board, she should go to a therapist or an AA meeting since she needs it. she is just using rick since it's her only way to be closer to her lifelong obsession, brooke!

what is she handling well recently? her relationships with thomas and steffie are nonexistent. she is never shown working. she hasn't dealt with her hallucinations, which showed how mentally unstable she is. and now she's screwing rick, the first love of her daughter and a boy that once thought of her as a mother figure! taywhore is beyond psychological help.

tay/rick is a not a good relationship. it's beyond revolting. tay was not a wreck. she is STILL a wreck. she was hallucinating in the marone mansion and thought drinking would stop her hallucinations. what kind of psychiatrist is she? she must have gotten her diploma from the street corner she works on as a hooker.

It is not Taylor's fault, Brooke got raped. I cant recall to what extent she knew about Stephanie's doing then, but it doesnt matter bc she did not sic that guy on Brooke. Taylor was removed from the situation and did not have much to do with Brooke or the Forrester's outside of her doctor, Bridget.

she was not removed from the situation. while pregnant, she was still meddling in ridge, brooke and thorne's lives. she would tell ridge to dump brooke for ashley. she went to stop thorne's wedding to donna. and she went on the witness stand to take ridge jr. and hope away from brooke.

tay meddled then, so what stopped her from meddling with stephanie's plans? stephanie told tay about andy and how she was insinuating andy into brooke's life. tay was actually one of the only people whou could've stopped the rape, but she didn't. then again, since taywhore is such an idiotic psychiatrist, she probably thought stephanie insinuating a stranger into brooke's life is sane behavior. tay is just a whore who grew up in the gutter. she's with rick because she's an old skank and he's making her feel young and he's also an easy pawn in her obsession toward brooke.

[P.J.]

How stupid is Bridget?

And does anyone else find Storm's relationship with Brooke just a tad creepy?
