This.  No one blames Liam.  Liam makes his choice in women and people fall all over themselves trying to have him.  I want to slap Taylor because she won't acknowledge - Liam didn't choose your daughter.  I want to slap Brooke because she's Brooke and she's holier than thou and just always acts like Hope should have everything.  Hope has EVERYTHING at this point and Brooke still can't stop...to go to Steffy and tell her she can expect that Liam won't be spending time with her daughter after Hope's daughter is born is just despicable.  In the "baby" condescending voice.  She keeps sticking her nose in where it doesn't belong.  I'm just tired of her.  Brooke needs to be slapped into the next decade.  And at the end of today - here comes Hope defending her slut mother.  I don't like either Brooke or Taylor but you can say one thing, neither of them hold men accountable for "choosing" among the women.  Neither Taylor nor Brooke hold Ridge accountable of "choosing their woman".  They blame the women for 'stealing' the man but don't hold a man for making their choice.  So gross. 

And it's hard to keep up - didn't watch regularly for years.  But didn't Taylor kill Darla "accidentally" and didn't her daughter (Steffy) kill Darla's daughter (Ally) "accidentally"?  And at one point I saw a scene of Thorne and Taylor in bed together overseas like 2 years ago so they had a relationship....has Taylor run into Thorne since she's been in town?  I remember at one point Taylor was going to help Ally with her grief and anger issues, and then her daughter killed her.  LOLLLL it's just so bad.

Ugh it's just...I can't even keep up with it all anymore.....I will never understand why Brad Bell thinks everyone wanting Liam and their nosy moms being obsessed with their daughters having a family with them, is anything but admirable....for 2018 it's just so offensive....I get once upon a time, when this show saw better days it was more intriguing, but any smart millennial woman as Steffy and Hope should be portrayed as, would tell Liam to go shove his own D*ck up his ass....I'm tired of Brad Bell thinking that being conservative means all these young women need to look like desperate bimbos, while Liam just smiles stupidly and thinks his S*it doesn't stink...

I’m a tad bit shocked that Thudley hasn’t turned Taylor and Brooke into cougars for a minute and pursue Liam themselves. 

 

But seriously the show did reach a new low point when Brooke told Hope it is ok to be a homewrecker and encouraged her to whore around.

 

Actually TK Ridge and Taylor do have a nice warmth to them it wouldn’t be a bad idea to pair them if Bill and Brooke actually do get back together here soon.

You really nailed so much of what’s wrong with this show.

 

Honestly, instead of slapping each other, why don’t these characters refuse to even SPEAK to each other? Yeah, I know it’s a soap, blah blah blah. But hearing the same thing for the 150th time? Characters would yell SHUT THE FU_CK UP at each other.

 

Brooke lecturing Steffy or Taylor? SHUT THE F_CK UP. Seriously, no rational person would listen to it.

LOL!  I agree.

 

Liam just annoys me period.  But I have to roll my eye when he goes on about how dangerous Taylor might be, but then forget about his father.  How many people have Bill tried to kill?  He threw Ridge out a helicopter.  he blew up a building without taking every precaution to make sure his own son was out of the building.  And he does one crazy things after another.  Yet I don't see Liam preventing Bill from seeing his daughter.  Liam has always been and will always be a little hypocritical piece of manure.

    • Cady had a fairly posh accent or manner as Rosanna - the character was a 180 from Dixie when she went to ATWT, and it was a huge success initially. As someone mostly only familiar with the nagging, miserable or clueless Dixie of the mid-late '90s and early 2000s it was what convinced me Cady could act. I thought she was incredible in her first run. Later, in future stints, her hair and story and performances were all over the place but a lot of that was down to the show for me. She brought some of Rosanna back with her to Dixie in her ill-fated return and a lot of people didn't like it, which I understood but I did think the character needed some change. I think she's had a little bit of the same persona and arch performance in every role she's played since, including Jennifer Horton at DAYS or Kelly at Y&R, who later became a maniac and was easily the worst work I've ever seen Cady do. It has kind of infected her overall mannerisms, I'll allow that, but I do think she brought Dixie back together as herself while still evolving the character when she returned to AMC again in 2012-13. Nonetheless, for me the upshot is that this is a character where Cady's kookier recent performance style suits the role. But I can understand it grating for people.
    • Yeah, Loretta Swit's passing stings. My late dad LOVED the show (he died last November) and watched it religiously. In first run and repeats.  And I was literally born the day after the show's premiere, so I grew up with it! I know many loved later, softer Margaret, but I loved Early Hot Lips. In real life, I'm all for less misogyny, but to me, the early years of M*A*S*H were just funnier. May Loretta Swit rest in peace. Thanks for all the memories connected to my dad!

    • I agree that she isn't Dixie or Rosanna and shouldn't be acting like either. I just found it strange that she had a naive Southern character and a wealthy urbane character in the past and didn't experiment with accents before (unless I missed it, correct me if I'm wrong). She used to do improv characters on YouTube. She's probably doing something similar here.

    • And here I thought I'd never think about Lauren Tewes again after her brief appearance in Twin Peaks Season 3.
    • I may be the single person who does not mind Transatlantic Campy Pamela. I think it perfectly suits this sort of Absolutely Fabulous-esque supporting character she's playing much more than it did when Cady tried weird and often broad stuff at AMC* or Y&R, or later stints at ATWT. She's not Dixie and she's not trying to be. I will freely admit some of the other chances she took at other shows often came off stiff, hammy or downright mortifying (Kelly Andrews, come on down). (* - and I say that as one of the few who was somewhat into Cady trying to make Dixie more cosmopolitan in the Rosanna Cabot mold in mid-2000s AMC, just to liven the character up again)
    • There’s absolutely nothing exciting happening storyline wise but I’m always happy to see the vets on my screen so I’ll take what I can get. It’s also just nice to see them all dressed up in the same room, it always gives classic Y&R vibes. The best part? No Phyllis.

    • Well now we had Ashley's reaction-and weren't we all gasping when she appeared to hate it-but she was just joking!! She loved it. Now we have to see Abby's reaction, and maybe Mamie could come back to say she loves it. How about Jill via Zoom giving her opinion (she'll love it) and bring in a day player to play Mrs Martinez to say she loves it also... I feel bad to keep dumping on this show (not really) but when the choices they make are so inane, it's the only entertainment value the show has. Let's unpack the Nikki birthday story. So Claire wants to throw her Nana a birthday bash as away of endearing Kyle to Victor. Don't quite get the logic there,but OK. She hires a party planner who makes ridiculous suggestions. Slightly annoyed that Y&R are hiring someone for this role for 5 episodes when we never see doctors, co- workers etc. But OK to that to. With all the talk we are expecting something special. What we get is the Jazz Lounge hideously decorated with some ugly tablecloths and a few tacky decorations. They needed a planner for this? Then the guest list consists of family members (no grandchildren)and a few others. Hardly a party. As usual the costuming is pretty awful. A red and black theme ? And our guest of honor is sporting a do that looks like a cross between Cameron Diaz in Something about Mary and Marie from Roxette. They should have had an intimate dinner and ditched all the fanfare. Would have been way more believable.
