It's the same with Brooke. If the show is that good then it can cope with her return.

I hope it does. What I'm saying is I have little faith in that given the numerous iterations of Brooke and her wandering passion.

Robb and Jon have suffered enough in life without being compared to 60 year old Wyatt...

Uh no she didn't do what any other mother would do. The second she found out FROM RICK that he shot at two people IN A PUBLIC PLACE, she should have called a psychiatrist, so don't give that me ish, it doesn't wash. I get someone can like Brooke, ,but come on now seriously

Friday

LOL Bill gets hard as soon as anybody shows the tiniest bit of ruthlessness. "You almost sound like you've been eating meat!" DEAD at that line. YAS, honey! Steffy is back! There was something really touching about Liam and Steffy being together again. Not that I want them romantically involved but there was just something really sweet in the way this was written. And I think it's a brilliant idea for Liam to want to take over Forrester WITH Steffy. Although I don't know why the little f.cker thinks he should be running the company. Wasn't he just made president of SP?

OMG there's a bell on all of the show's laptops (instead of, say, an apple). Get it? A "Bell"

LOL at Pam and Donna comic relief. Those two were great in this episode. I'm glad Donna at least showed up for work.

Brooke cut Ridge to pieces. Good, I'm glad, although Ridge did throw in his jab regarding Brooke's parenting. But here's the thing. What Brooke did here was brilliant. Not only is she trying to end the "constant retaliation," she's ALSO trying to calm Rick down. And what's the perfect way to ensure he listens to her? By totally eviscerating Ridge in front of him. And, clearly, it worked. I was not expecting Brooke to basically completely denounce Maya and try to reconcile Rick and Caroline right there and then That's typical B&B bs but it was worth it for the reactions from Caroline and Maya, alone!

Uh yes. Read my post above. Also, Brooke has NO idea how bad it is with Rick. ALSO, she can't force him to see a psychiatrist. ALSO ALSO, if she did that to him, she'd become an enemy too and then she REALLY wouldn't be able to help him.

It's a family tradition to ignore Rick shooting or trying to shoot people.

Sad but true, even if he killed someone, I'm sure Brooke would find a way to blame it on the person that died

Rick was just following his heart.

Fascinating to read all your posts. I am SO glad there's discussion for the show.

From my point of view, I just love that the show is generating so much discussion. At cost of looking like a rabid fan (which I'm not.. I hope LOL), I can see where Brooke is coming from. I dare to say she's even right. Deep down Rick loves Caroline and is doing all of this out of spite. He should let go of anger to be happy again. That's what every character has been saying, just not in Rick's face. So, nothing new there.

Yep. Agreed 100%.

One character can't single-handedly ruin a show. People insisted Hope did. Now it's Brooke.

Absolutely. She's been back a week. Yes, she's been in heavy play since then. That's because she's playing catch up and they have A LOT to set up/do with her. The show isn't any different than it was a week ago. It's still as good.

I am enjoying the show at the moment, but if it defaults back to the heroic sexual struggles of Brooke, the noble goddess who follows her muscles of love, I will be audi 5000 at a moment's notice.

Same. Nobody wants or needs The 24/7 Brooke Show

??????"his Heart gina..."??????? He can be a little P**sy! Just kidding!

Dragonflies didnt say force him to see a shrink. She cant do that bc you are right in that Rick is an adult. Brooke SHOULD have suggested it though and she should have called one. Whether Rick decided to follow through with it would be on him, but Brooke is a terrible mother to just ignore his violent streak bc he has a history of this stuff

Sad but true, even if he killed someone, I'm sure Brooke would find a way to blame it on the person that died

Had Ridge or Caroline been shot and died, then they should have known better than to have been making out at FC

Sit your ass down, boo. Brooke is GODDESS.

Um, she's a whore. Whore goddess, but whore nontheless

She's far from a goddess lol that's an insult to goddesses

LOL! Ah, the charmed life of a rich, white, beautiful young man.

Rick was just following his heart.

:lol:

It's been two episodes. That could very well happen. For now, she tried to put an end to Rick/Ridge arguing and calm her son down. What part of that doesn't connect with y'all? Donna reminded her of Grant Chambers, so she burst in there trying to put an end to the fighting. If Rick turns her down and his behavior escalates, we'll see what the next step is.

Let me say it again, Brooke doesn't really know what's happening. She's been gone for all of it. She didn't see the way Rick treated Caroline in various meetings or witness that demented laugh of his. Just because WE'VE seen it doesn't mean Brooke ought to somehow know, sense it, too.

Granted, she needs to do more. I agree with that 100%. But 1) she's been plenty critical of his actions, just not to his face because, if he is indeed THIS CLOSE to losing it, what good will that do? 2) I seem to think that trying to end the feud is a pretty good way of going about it.

Um, she's a whore. Whore goddess, but whore nontheless

Did I ever say differently? I just called her a SLUT a few posts ago.

They could bring Thorne back for counsel, since he also went around shooting relatives. (the same relative...)
