Let's just say that every second on the Malibu beach...from Malibu Barbie on her horse...to an "emotive" Ridge shouting "Logaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan" from the mountain top...interspersed with flashbacks that only highlight the aging....this was a campy delight. I mean, it was just utterly cheese-tastic and crap-tacular.

Ahhh...that's what he said. I didn't have a clue.

Well, after having Brooke raped, wasn't Stephanie trying to be kinder and gentler where Brooke was concerned? Also, after she almost killed Ridge (remember his heart attack--"you broke my heart!"--after one of his breakups with Brooke), in general I thought Steph was going to stop interfering.

Man oh man, I'd love to see Stephanie (Sr.) and Rick rutting like rabbits! Daily! It would totally reposition this show as the camp cheesefest it could once aspire to be!

Kinder and gentler? Eh...my memory fails me. But I can't recall any outright death threats to Brooke. Donna seems to be picking up the slack in that department. But she's never stopped her convienent double standard...Brooke gives up her rights to Jack, and she's a negligent mother who'd stop at nothing to keep Ridge. Taylor gives up her rights, and it's nobility personified, and then she runs around telling anyone who'll listen how much Brooke and Nick "fit" and need to "be a family" for Jack's sake.

Pretty much.
