Brooke...she's such a hypocritical bitch. She was all over Steffy's case for seducing Bill into signing back FC to the family, yet she is all for Rick seducing Steffy into signing annullment papers? Wow. Its bad enough that she supports Rick using and manipulating Steffy AGAIN but she's actually involved and helping him do it. I hope Ridge finds out and rips into her ass

ETA: WTF!?!? Just like that the story is over? I cant believe Rick's manipulation lasted for all of 2 episodes with Steffy already caving in and signing the papers.

This is exactly why I can't take B&B seriously. If this isn't some kind of fake out, it's the laziest type of storytelling---one that simply seems to realize no one really wants to write six more months of Hope's endless purity pledges, or Steffi's crawling after a boy who's not man enough for her or some Liamdge 2.0 story as he's "torn" between two equally hot, panting after him women.

I hate victimSteffy, but even I hope she signed those papers "Mrs.SnoopDog". For-shizzle.

At least until there's some semi-permanent REAL conclusion to this insipid little triangle.

The pacing with this story has been horrible. They drag certain parts of it out but then zip through others. Anyways here's the Clarence update

I was thinking the same, I can hardly believe how quickly things develop on this show given its half-hour format. They really could have dragged out the Rick/Steffy seduction for at least a week. It makes me think the writers challenge themselves unnecessarily, which is either admirable or unworth it. From what I understand, there's a lot of of s/l recycling on this show.

Hunh, so Rick and Marcus are first cousins then. Looks like my colorful fam.

Yeah, I'm sure evilBrooke will be raked over the coals by Ridge and Taylor for making the decision to allow Rick to seduce the poor, vulnerable, purer than snow Steffi when this all blows up in his face.

After all, it certainly won't be Steffi's fault she decided to unlock her panties after vowing to wait for Liam for Rick after a five minute "you so sexy" pep talk.

Thought this was very trivial but also interesting.

The Bells always had a rep of being Republicans and MAB and Billy still are, but Brad and his wife...

Given that B&B has always been the most socially conservative of any soap, it's hard to tell onscreen. Then again, they do like to tell those PSA stories which seem to be out of 1965.

Rick's "seduction" only lasted a couple of episodes and Steffy already signed the papers? WTF! LOL That's horrible pacing.

lol..I was waiting to read your reaction bc I know how you are all about slower storytelling and building things up. Get used to it though bc B&B is known for wrapping stories up abruptly and or throwing things out there which they dont fully follow through with

OMG. Steffy and Hope's chocolate fight was glorious to watch. It didn't disappoint. I loved it. I didn't get why Steffy and even Hope kept saying that Hope started it? Um Steffy was the one who launched chocolate at Hope first! Anyways, it was fantastic.

I think Rick and Steffy are so hot together!

LOL at the essay contest girl and her mom & sister visiting Hope Liam knows he doesn't agree or give a damn about that sh!t. I'm waiting for a short story arc where Hope decides to legally change her name to "Chastity Spencer."

I had to roll my eyes at that too. They really are laying it on thick with her and that stuff was over the top. I wish it wasnt so one sided though and they have Hope face some criticism. Id love it if a tabloid had her pick on the cover with the headline "Ho for the Future" and some teen girls calling her out on being engaged to a married man

As for the fight, I think they were referring to the fact that Hope started things by going over there and verbally attacking Steffy, which led to the chocolatefest

Yeah, I know Hope "owns" starting it, but to me, Steffi did as much provoking as Hope did, any way you slice it. Steffi knew refusing to sign the papers on "Hope's wedding day" to me was the proverbial "first shot".

LOL! Steffy didn't really sign the annulment papers, she just signed "LOSER" on the dotted lined LOVE that.

ITA. Love this idea

That's how I see it as well.

Hope is all outraged when Bill manipulates things to push Liam and Steffy into marriage but she has no problems with Rick manipulating the marriage when it suits her needs. Really?What happened to her values here? I am SICK of her whining as she does it almost every episode. And I so saw her using her viriginity to try and manipuate Liam into seeing things her way when he was defending Steffy and disagreed with Rick seducing her into an annulment, which Hope is all for.

Hope was actually acting PSYCHO today. And it's all because she can't wait to get her cherry popped now.
