Members Broderick Posted January 12, 2022 Members Share Posted January 12, 2022 If Rocco ever sings "Night & Day, I Slave Away" while Ridge seduces Caroline, we'll know they copied, lol. (Ridge does seem pretty closely modeled on Don Juan.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapfan8 Posted January 12, 2022 Members Share Posted January 12, 2022 Team Caroline or Brooke anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted January 12, 2022 Members Share Posted January 12, 2022 Team Brooke. Caroline is just so... spoiled and has everything coming so easy. I just don't like her... Brooke at least has to be conniving and crafty to get ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AMCOLTLLover Posted January 12, 2022 Members Share Posted January 12, 2022 Caroline coz she matured over her 3 years on the show and didn’t took the sh’t anymore! Brooke never grew up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Manny Posted January 12, 2022 Members Share Posted January 12, 2022 Team Caroline by far.. I am not as far in watching as all of you are, but Brooke's reasoning and actions are just not right, IMO. Then again, I hate Ridge and I would never want to see Caroline with him, so I guess Brooke and Ridge can be together... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted January 12, 2022 Members Share Posted January 12, 2022 I was team Caroline. I felt so bad for her that she was manipulated by two people she trusted the most, her father Bill and her one-time best friend Brooke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Manny Posted January 12, 2022 Members Share Posted January 12, 2022 Can I ask how did you see Bill's actions as manipulation? I am curious since I have seen many people say this and I just don't see it. Also, you do not list Ridge as someone how hurt her and she trusted him a lot.

Members Broderick Posted January 12, 2022 Members Share Posted January 12, 2022 I think Caroline's too good for anyone else on the show. Ridge is garbage, Thorne's a wuss, her dad's mean, and her "best friend" is a tramp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted January 12, 2022 Members Share Posted January 12, 2022 Can we elevate the discussion, please? It was nice to actually discuss the stories, the music clothes, shooting style, etc. and not descend to the clownery present in YouTube comments. It would just be nice to avoid the Stan wars that too often diminish the daytime drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapfan8 Posted January 12, 2022 Members Share Posted January 12, 2022 No one was having a stan war..I don’t see anyone arguing or going back and forth we are just discussing character preferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted January 12, 2022 Members Share Posted January 12, 2022 That's often how it starts but hopefully not this time, I guess? Ah well, it was nice while it lasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted January 13, 2022 Members Share Posted January 13, 2022 Bill exposed Ridge's cheating to Caroline just before the wedding and then pushed her towards Thorne, whom she didn't really love. That's pretty manipulative to me. Yes, Ridge did hurt Caroline but I didn't list him as his actions weren't manipulative in the way Bill and Brooke were.

Members Videnbas Posted January 13, 2022 Members Share Posted January 13, 2022 LOL, yeah, that would be a dead give away! Yes, it was Ridge's obvious similarities to Don Juan that took me down the rabbit hole (especially when the show started repeatedly mentioning his "little black book"). And then as I was preparing a lecture om Mozart I revisited a couple of scenes from the opera and I suddenly started seeing B&B characters in all the roles and it was an eerily good fit.

Members Chris B Posted January 13, 2022 Members Share Posted January 13, 2022 I expected to be Team Brooke, as I always have been, but watching these early episodes really opened my eyes. She's very bold in her choices and I wish they'd retained her assertiveness from these early episodes. She knows her choices aren't always right, but there is always a reason that makes it worth it in her eyes. That's easier to take than her current crying because she slipped in another mans lap.

Members Manny Posted January 13, 2022 Members Share Posted January 13, 2022 I agree that Bill's timing was terrible. He should have told her the news earlier (as soon as he found out himself, I would say). But I guess I don't see that as a manipulation. I would be grateful to my father if he uncovered the truth that my partner/spouse was unfaithful to me. He was pushing for Thorne to get with Caroline, sure, but it was finally Caroline who chose to be with Thorne, even though she clearly did not love him (at least not the same way she loved Ridge).
