Was there any point at all in the Brooke/Ridge "wedding?" There was no priest, no justice of the peace. Just them sitting there by themselves, and that over-the-top drawing of their names of course. Yuck.

I'm slowly getting used to Eric and Donna. I didn't mind their part today. The Pam working at FC thing is going to be easy to predict, Donna will freak out and Eric will want to give her another shot especially since she made that bikini. Hopefully Pammy can keep some of her sanity this time.

And...they clearly established...no PHOTOGRAPHS.

In other words, NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER.

So, here is what I think is going to happen.

Ronn Moss is going to take a long holiday to Australia or something.

So Ridge is going to have a terrible accident and be comatose. (Yes, they just did this story with Eric, but B&B likes to recycle). Brooke will want to make medical decisions, but Stephanie will stop her, and Taylor will save the day.

Pushing it further, when the coma is over, Ridge will be regressed to 10 years ago. He will only remember being with Taylor. (Yes, LML did this on Y&R in 2007, but B&B likes to recycle).

Absent ANY evidence of a legal marriage to Brooke, Ridge will 'feel' married to Taylor. And this will sow the seeds of the next chapter in our riveting, never-ending love story.

There is a REASON the writers scripted "zero evidence". What is it? We'll soon find out, I'm sure.

The only good thing about the above story is that it will all be wrapped up in about six weeks.

All this hoopla over a crocheted bikini??? *eyeroll* Not to nikpick, but whoever wrote that obviously doesn't realize you can't mass produce crocheted products.

That dress Brooke wore was horrid. And what was with that huge heart in the sand?

B&B hasn't had a truly good looking wedding since the 90s. Out of the newer generation of weddings, I don't think that there hasn't been one that wasn't cheap looking in some way. So out of the newer wedding, it was aethetically prettier than most. Hopefully that will be a start of a new trend. Now they only have to find likable couples to go with the weddings.

The last actually pretty, non-cheap wedding was, I dunno, James and Sheila maybe?

That said, Brooke's hair looked ugly and stringy.

It looked like another "wacky" idea Brad Bell came up with to differentiate between all the Brooke and Ridge ceremonies. Y'know..instead of numbers, there's sandheart, Nick-goes-KingKong, bird santuary, yadda yadda. If it had looked like something Ridge and Brooke had done themselves, instead of a giant cookie cut out, maybe I would have thought differently.

    • I tend to have two minds about Tawny (Kathy Najimy) fainting during Soapdish's big reveal. You're the costume designer, if anything, you should have known the whole time. I guess it's an application of what TV Tropes calls the "Rule of Funny." Every time I watch Delirious, I always want the genuine romance in John and Mariel's reunion at the deli counter to last longer. Film critics had their knives out for Sally in this period. I'll start a separate thread on the movies page.
    • I don't think so, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was Dumas this whole time.
    • Tamara Tunie was serving up grand dame diva fierceness.
    • Nick told Victoria that he and Sharon had married in England.  Victoria was shocked.  Then she realized he was kidding.  He confirmed it was a joke and they're platonic. I don't even know what to say about that.
    • It's funny you say that because part of the entertainment of the trials on the show are all the day players who come on as witnesses and jurors.  I'm certain it was like the Law and Order of its time. It employed so many New York actors, that if you look close enough, there's usually someone vaguely recognizable in the courtroom.
    • I will defend Dante.  People already suspect he may be a bit unstable from time to time (from his time as a prisoner).  And, he's taking care of other people's kids from time to time.  So, he has reason to be cautious with those in his care.
    • Josh continues to try and milk Abbott/Newman rivalry. First it was Billy/Victoria, then Kyle/Summer, then Noah/Allie (that worked out well) and now Kyle/Claire. Do we have any inkling when Billy Flynn will arrive and who he will play? I'm sure Cole's illness will mostly play offscreen. What's in store for Nick and Sharon? Is it time to put them back together? I can't see any other romantic options. Nick has no children on the canvas to play off, as Christian is never seen. Sharon has only Mariah onscreen.
    • I would appreciate (if they're not coming), for future scripts to refer to them by their iconic hairdos.  For example, if Hope needs to call Chelsea because Bo has Sepsis, I'd like Shawn-D to say, "My Mom called Chelsea (the one with the sassy short black hair) for an update." Also, new rule, if Melanie does return, she needs to dye her hair back to red.  I googled who she was five times during Victor's funeral.

    • Broderick, thank you for all of the info [I edited for space]. I am so grateful for everyone filling in the blanks for me. I suspected the Nora/Eliot scene was very important and it was setting something up but I didn't know what. Can't wait to see it play out. The two actors had such a great back and forth. I should have made the Paige/Patty Hearst connection. I thought Paige was in love with Brian from the first episode I watched but it seemed as if they were brother and sister. Steve kept being affectionate with her so I assumed he was the love interest. Then she was affectionate with someone else and well..she's a very busy woman. I can't wait to see Frances Fisher show up. (I'm trying to be vague because I don't know what would be a spoiler in this storyline) Now it makes sense why Draper would be upset. I didn't get the whole background of why he didn't go to NY. I'm a sucker for good acting, so I might still side with April and Margo, if the writers don't give Draper more to do besides yelling.  He had more chemistry with Logan, but I know that's not happening.  Something else I noticed: the show really takes care with even the smallest parts. The acting is superb. Too often, I noticed on older soaps they don't take care with the recurring or day players (Ryan's Hope was so bad with this that I couldn't make it through some episodes). It's only been six episodes, but so far, the casting department was spot on.
    • I thought Dante was overreacting.  Gio made some mistakes but he's young and he tried.  It's not like he dragged two 14 years to a party and made them get blackout drunk.  Dante can have the initial upset reaction, but to go on and on was a bit much.
