Thomas and Brooke *thought* they had done the nasty because of the poisoned berries or something and then they were playing with that chemistry in the aftermath of their secret-kepping but I think it was clarified they actually hadn't done anything.
 

Taylor once kissed Eric in the 90s and decided it was too weird because that was the Saint Taylor era and she was written as a contrast to Brooke.
HOWEVER after her return, during her wild 2000s, she actively dated Eric for a while. It was never made explicit whether they slept with each other but they were dating so the assumption would be they did.

I remember the poisoned berries *or something* lol, stupid story.

I have always preferred Taylor vs Brooke, but I am not under any allusions Taylor is a saint. So I echo the sentiments in here why the dialogue is written to point out Brooke's indiscretions, but not Taylors over the decades.

I appreciated the nod to history when Thomas mentioned Brooke "pushing" him off the cliff, I had kinda forgotten about that.

 I was being charitable because I don't recall them ever having a love scene but yes, of course, I always took it that they did sleep together.

Taylor has slept with MORE relatives of Ridge's than Brooke did - both slept with Eric but Brooke "only" did two of Ridge's brothers.
Taylor slept with all three (Rick)!!!

It is really sad how Thudley always makes sure Brooke is painted as the slut from the Valley, when Taylor pretty much is a slut too. I tuned out in 2013 but why do i think Taylor only dated Eric to spite Brooke? I thought she even said something along the lines of it being “revenge” against Brooke. 
 

ugh this is why 2010-2013 B&B is never something I would want to watch again…Taylor and Steffys hypocrisy was at an all time low. They never were held accountable for either of it. B&B  was actually so much better the years it was either just Hope or Steffy on the show imo.

I tuned in briefly today.  Blah.  I don't know why, I just don't care who ends up with Ridge and it's not making me want to watch again.  I'm kind of tired of seeing women fight over men who are flawed and awful also.  I think that means I'm in the majority of people who tuned out of soaps all together.  Yuck.  Adult kids trying to reunite their adult parents.  Ick.

Lord, they killed the momentum.

 

The reveal was good soap. Right when Brooke was going to tell Ridge, Taylor beat her to the punch. Ridge reacted. There was fallout scenes from the 'kids.' And there was a great fight with Ridge and Deacon.

 

Ridge is tailspinning is good. But these scenes of Steffy and Thomas with him feel like they are brainwashing him. And now Thomas is blocking Brooke from seeing Ridge. Really? smh.

 

Meanwhile, there's Hope and Liam just discussing the same thing. lol. I guess this is what board members have been talking about with Sonny and Carly over at the GH thread because every time the scenes turn to Hope and Liam, it is literally the same scene.

Why for the past 60 episodes Brooke is crying in EVERY episode and we have flashback of Sheila changing champagne bottles in every EPISODE. Why does nobody else in this show exist except Brooke and Ridge. Even Taylor will be left again in 20 episodes... who are they kidding. NOTHING is happening. NOTHING. What 30 years olds... MEN... like Liam and Thomas will chat about grandma Brooke ALL day long... for weeks and weeks... it's NEARLY MARCH!!! Brooke kissed Deacon ON NEW YEARS EVEEEEEEEEEE. Wtf is going with the writing team. If this was back in the day... in this many episodes... there would have been a  Forrester war, 2-3 love affairs, people pushed from stairs and a funeral. Why is NOTHING happening. Are they expecting that we will have 260 episodes with only 1 SLOW... SLOOOOOW storyline that is a repeat from 2011 when it was a repeat from 2009 when it was a repeat from 2005 when it was repeat from 2001 when it was a repeat from 1998 when it was repeat from 1994 when it was a repeat from 1991 when it happened in 1990.

 

PLEASE GIVE BROOKE more to do... make her a CEO... throw her a young lover.... give these characters something to do. Bradley Bell is the most talantless person on this planet.

    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny or velvet or a textured fabric - I couldn't quite tell, but the jacket color was solid black) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.

    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJJTEW8J5EA/ 1989 Daytime Emmys Victoria Wyndham gives moving tribute to Douglas Watson, AW's Mac Cory Harding "Pete" Lemay created the character Mac Cory & then Doug Watson played him for 15 years. When Doug died on May 1st, 1989, it was a huge loss to the show, the other actors & also to the fans.

    • Jonathan Kellerman is definitely the most EON/Slesar-like writer in the business right now.  Unfortunately, he's almost 80 years old.  Interestingly, he has a son (Jesse Kellerman) who's about 45, who's been studying under him.  I believe what makes the Kellermans such effective mystery & crime writers is their background in psychology.  
    • I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...
