Well, I have now seen it.

B&B just slays me. That was a PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT episode (except for the Nick-Katie-Bridget parts), with a PERFECT-PERFECT-PERFECT Friday tag.

This show has been just awful...and it turns on a dime like this. I'm sure Monday I will hate it again. What a show :-). Like gambling, it keeps you coming back for the hope of these rare moments of glory.

Not a huge fan of Donna, but there was something about that ending there that had me going with my evil laugh. :lol: The Forrester kids whining like 10 year olds about Donna. You know the second they had control of the company they would have thrown her out like yesterday's trash. It was quite enjoyable to see Donna turn the tables on them. Can't wait to see the fallout from all of it.

That's exactly how I felt. I'm not a Donna fan either, but there was just something so enjoyable watching all this go down. They have been acting like such brats, particularly Ridge. Okay, I'm a bit biased (I love my FeFe), but Felicia has been just as bad. LOL!

Hey, watch your tongue! She already has a copyrighted brandname, so do not confuse us poor board readers. ;)

It's not necessarily that I'm a Donna fan (speaking of 180° character turns here considering Carrie Mitchum's Donna...) but I got a soft spot for Miss Gareis ever since she played Grace THESLUT© Turner on Y&R. What a despicable tramp but she somehow sold it. On B&B the writing has been very favorable to her. Come on, she's what Darla was for Thorne - someone who backed her hubby instead of constantly tampling on him like the rest of the family. In the past months Ridge (now surprise), Thorne (could have been good with actual motivation but the writers decline on writing for that character) and Fefe (Since when did she become such a Momma's girl whose parents have to stay together?) have behaving so dastardically, childisch and downright heartless they really deserve to be kicked in the curb.

ALthough taunting would have been better: Keeping them on board and constantly reminding them that Mommy Dearest is now calling the shots. Dumbass Ridge would have suffered a heart attack next! :D

I don't get why Brooke didn't get the boot as well. PodBrooke played Ridge's plan like a fiddle and had zero scruples turning her back on the father of her children and Donna. What a weak and sad person she is. - I'd pay a fortune to understand why people still, after all these years of bad past experience, there are people who still want Brooke & Ridge together? Bridge is character assassination in progress for Brooke.

That said: last week was great.

Donna wouldn't fire her sister! And it's a good thing Brooke is still there at Forrester, she and Rick are perhaps the only experienced people left in the company after Donna's coup LOL :lol:

You can't have Forrester without Ridge/Felicia/Thorne. I suspect that when Eric recovers, he'll reinstate his kids. :D

What I want to happen: Stephanie is awakened from her slumber/retirement, and she goes after Donna, or it's Stephanie and Pam vs Donna. :lol:

Have you seen the pics from Monaco's TV festival this year where La Gareis was all over Prince Albert? Just saying... :lol:

Need to comment about Steffy & Marucs. Yes, they are sweet and I totally love them. But how old are they? Or do we still live in the 50s? Them gushing about their first kiss like that, made them look like 12. And I'm sorry, Texas Battle hardly passes as a teen anymore and I find it way too farfetched to believe that this has first kiss ever. Steffy, maybe, she probably had Prince Charle' nanny as a supervisor in London considering Ridge's paranoia so who knows.

Continuity error: In an episode which surprisngly written by Jack Smith, Felicia stated "Eric never had a heart problem before Donna..." This is not true. He did in 1994 whilst being (then still happily) married to Sheila and Jack Smith was on board. He suffered no heart attack but he has a history.

I loved Friday's ep and I developed a whole new appreciation for Donna. And I know I'm in the minority here (big surprise), but I like Jennifer Gareis. She goes over-the-top, but I think it's intentional and it suits B&B. She was never O-T-T on Y&R.

Felicia wasn't on the show at that time, so maybe she didn't know?

I just caught up on this week's episodes, and I loved every second of Donna's public announcement that Thorne, Felicia and Ridge were out at Forrester Creations, and that she would be running the company with Marcus and Rick...I just wonder who's going to be doing the designing?

I have a feeling that Felicia isnt going to take this lying down, I spy a good old fashioned sabotage of the first Forrester collection under Donna at some sort of runway show or something...

Jennifer Gareis actually was great on Friday's episode! I agree that she's so much better playing the bitch! :D

Donna vs Felicia: bring it on

Donna vs Stephanie: bring it on, the Queen needs to be reawoken from her slumber

I wonder what Brooke will do? Will she follow Ridge out of the company, or will she stay at Forrester to protect her childrens's legacy? B)

    • She did have a thing with him in the late '90s, before she inexplicably disappeared with no mention as to why, although I can't remember if they had sex.
    • I don't believe she did. She did sleep with Simon, believing he was a Spaulding.
    • -- If I ever get sick, please don't send me to Garland Memorial. That hospital is a YIKES. -- Soooo much activity around the main nurses' desk. Do they move dead people on a gurney past that desk, too? -- 8 months for Bill to recover from a "small stroke"? Uh....I don't think so. Is anyone researching this stuff? The hospital stuff is not coming off as realistic. -- It's good that Derek and Ashley are being integrated into other stories, but it's a real stretch to say Leslie was "stalking" Ashley. It makes Derek seem dumber than we already think he is. -- Ashley spends a lot of time having small talk while she's at work. -- Chelsea is embarrassing. Period. -- Tomas is supposed to pick up the slack for Bill, but he has time to have worthless conversations with Leslie? OK then. -- Kat is destroying the case against Leslie, but that's clearly the way to keep Leslie on the canvas.
    • 6-3   I almost let my system just delete the episode just like with B&B. I am now questioning if I should have. lol.   I just can't believe that Cole sat there and started to get sick and then only Victoria off and ran off and everyone basically went back to what they were doing at Nikki's birthday party. Cole was too much of a vet character for that. And now story back off-screen.   I did chuckle at how much Victor pay Kyle dust. And now Kyle with this deal and a promise to leave town if he hurts Claire. smh. As if Victor isn't going to make that happen.   It was lovely to see Ashley. And actually (misdressed and all) Abby.    And I liked Claire's dress. 
    • Oh. That. I pretend that never happened.

      I did think of another possibility. Did India ever sleep with Alan? They kind of toyed with pairing them up, but I'm not sure they ever became lovers.
    • While I do love the chaotic energy that is Kat vs Lesile, it is a bit extra. Sheltered, virginal Kat who plays it safe from her man to her wardrobe understands that Leslie is dangerous, but she's out here showing up everywhere and anywhere that Lesile is to be found and actively going to places where she is alone? I mean Kat doesn't even act a little afraid or intimidated by Leslie. Meanwhile, big Ole Derek out here begging for his and Ashley's life to Jacob.  As for Dani, I didn't see it that way. Dani and Bill were together for 30 years and shared a family. I believe there was real love there at one point. Bill is still an ass and Dani is still crazy, but realizing she may lose him and her daughter's may lose their dad definitely struck a chord.
    • Funny I randomly saw Kami’s lengthy post about the 44th anniversary of the Walton’s finale last week pop up in my news feed on Facebook. A few inaccuracies to her post but overall it was pretty insightful and interesting to read. 
    • Well, depending on rewrites...Jennifer Richards potentially slept with Brandon and Alan. It does feel like we're forgetting someone, but then again, maybe I'm confusing that with brothers, which would include a lot more.
    • Maybe it’s me, and the fact that RC isn’t at the helm, but since Cwikly and Ford have taken over I’ve noticed the show doing a lot of things differently directing wise, and since the storyline of John’s demise began, the show has been using different scores, and dare I say better ones than this time last year. It’s interesting and I wonder if the any of it is Noel Maxam’s influence before being promoted.
    • I think Nicole is about to figure out what's going on between Andre and Dani.
