Out of "compassionate" grounds though, right?

Right. I'm not saying what he did was morally wrong. I'm just saying this story is just...what can I say? I don't understand why I watch, but here I still am.

You are my twin.

It wasn't just any illegal immigrant.

It was Claudia Cortez!!! That's one from the history banks!

Per this source (the story happened in 1996)

Refugee from El Salvador who Thorne hired as a sewer, despite the fact that she does not have a green card to work in the U.S. Living with Stephanie, who assumed responsiblity for her in return for a favor from Thorne

why is ashley jones now playing bridget as a different character?

her attitude, her demeanor, her tone -- it's all changed. this is a physician??? more like a slut.

Welcome to B&B.

Welcome to B&B.

:lol: So true. Character integrity is a joke on this soap.

The more Nick talks, the more he makes an ass of himself. OMG...did he forget he bounced between Bridget and Brooke....and ran out of his child's memorial service to boot?? Owen would have to sink quite a bit before Nick would even be able to see his shadow.

As overplayed and redundant as it is, I find the Taylor/Ridge/Brooke story a heck of alot more entertaining than the crap thats been featured on screen the past couple of days

Yeah, B&B always has glimmers of gold mixed in with the manure.

Like, I find it cool that when Bill Jr. nailed Eric on housing an illegal immigrant (didn't Thomas do the same with Gabi, years later?), they dug into the wells and pulled out something from 1996. So, it turned out not to just be a plot-twist-of-the-moment, but a nugget they'd banked for over a decade.

But for me, I can't watch any more Taylor or Ridge. I'd like them together and backburnered. And Brooke set free to do her Brookey things.

OMG, so is Claudia/Lily Melgar back on the show?

There weren't many of us but I loved her on B&B (I need to be specific -- B&B, not so much GH, though was anybody supposed to like Tragic LeeLee?). The SL was abruptly wrapped up, if I recall.

Sorry, not watching at the mo. You guys need to fill me in!

No. But Bill Spencer Jr. threatened yesterday to topple Forrester by revealing that Eric KNOWINGLY employed illegal immigrants.

Upthread, some people thought this was a sudden plot-driven twist with no basis in history.

But then yesterday, when they mentioned Claudia, it became clear to me that they had banked this story in 1996, and used it now. Even if they had planned to drop it, the clever milking of old dropped threads is (for me) Soap Excellence 101.

I thought I heard that Claudia might actually still be working there, behind the scenes? Did anyone else hear that? If Jake McClaine and Rocco are still there, why not Claudia?

I forgot all about Rocco until you just mentioned him. What was the point of even bringing him back? I thought they were going to go somewhere with that
