Tee hee. Nah, I just think he's written like this to serve some kind of purpose. Before you know it, he'll be SORASd and turn into a dumb ass too.

I haven't read any spoilers, but I wonder if Steffy will choose the truth or will she want her mommy and daddy to get married and live happily ever after? Will three times be the charm? Only time will tell! Only on CBS Daytime.

I wish they would have something big happen, something that would up things and have characters change you know? I want Enpowered Katie, Smart Donna, Wiser Brooke, Scheming Hope, Taylor and Steffy are Already more Than Satisfactory, Paris Happening, I want Ridge Less Womanizing, Really I feel like he's capable of Getting with Sheila, Eric Wiser and Stronger (Wouldn't Hurt Having Strong A Female Lead Near His Age), Thomas In a StraightJacket, Bill and Wyatt more Relevant, Liam? Well I would rather have him gone but whatever, Finn is Fine, BTW whatever happened with Shauna and Flo?

I HOPE NOT! That Shows Time-line is messed up enough as it is, Have you noticed that Hope is Older Than Steffy who's older than Thomas when it was supposed to be the other way around?

[SteelCity]

I saw. It was nothing special.

[Noel]

Hahahaha! It's just so DUMB. Thomas using his son's phone to pull out his "crafty" shenanigans, or the social worker who works for the Department of Human Services who needs to get a visit with a metal baseball bat?

Sorry to double-post, BUT ....

This storyline is so dumb, that it's about as equivalent as Thomas using Douglas's phone to download the PornHub app. And to Douglas's discovery, up pops a Stormy Daniels or Brock Cooper video from Thomas's recent porn search history.

Yeah Thomas didn't know about the baby switch for a huge amount of time, but he knew for a while.  On this show, things often drag on for many months - so I guess weeks is nothing.

he can’t act like that, he’s cute and does a good job playing Finn but he’s not a good actor.  Everyone on that show except Zende and paris is better 

[Ponds]

I've said before and will repeat it now, the stupidest thing about this storyline is first Thomas used Douglas' phone, next he never did anything but tell Douglas to delete and third he hasn't bothered to even look to make sure it's deleted.  He's simply begging to get caught!!  I really don't know why I continue to watch this mess.  I may stop when Ridge goes back to Brooke AGAIN!!!

[BoldRestless]

The things you have to buy into for this story to make sense:

 

-This app exists to the public, but is used for a relatively benign domestic issue rather than all kind of crazy fraud and deepfakes of politicians. Once this story is over, this app will never be brought up again.

-Audio of CPS calls can just be pulled up on a phone by any random person who has ever worked with CPS in some capacity.

-Thomas is completely sure that the CPS visit will go well and that his friend will breach his ethics and play the audio in front of Ridge.

-Thomas is sure that Ridge and Brooke will break up without having an adult conversation (that I can buy) and that no one will remember that Douglas has been playing with the voice modication app.

-Thomas wouldn't download the app to his own phone or even a burner phone.

-Thomas would simply ask Douglas to delete the app instead of wiping his phone or buying him a new phone even though the Forresters are millionaires.

I haven't watched for days - since I saw a scene with Brooke saying she didn't understand the breakup...and Donna helping Douglas with his phone, Thomas telling Douglas to delete it, leave it alone.  What viewers should not expect is any resolution.  Not any real one that addresses everything that happened.  The same thing happened before with Beth/Phoebe...and Thomas trying to weasel back into Hope's life.  Nothing was ever revealed about the lengths he went to (down to drawing family stick figure pictures for Douglas, and having Douglas present them as his own)....blah blah blah.  

The one thing I noticed a long time ago, was don't expect things to be addressed.  Other examples - Quinn trying to kill Ally?  Tried to shove her off the foot bridge when she said she was going to the police about Wyatt stealing the diamond.  Thomas running Justin's niece down (who was she again??).  The dude that owned the diamond who mysteriously died, with all the clues that it was Quinn about to kill him (or something) but left this valuable jewel to....Quinn....or was it Wyatt?  A LOT on this show goes nowhere.  It reminds me of Days with plot devices that just disappear.  Other cringe moments - Ivy coming up on Steffy and Ally fighting...and ....you know, don't lay on your horn or anything to break it up.  Or, by all means do NOT drive up right to them with your headlights on cause it looks like a fight...and these are your family members so you might want to break it up...? Nah, just VID-YO it.  And then tell everyone about it, especially the TIE-YUH ION.  LOL.

[YRfan23]

Preach it!!!

[AbcNbc247]

Probably 

But I hope they don't either. He really held his own with JMW in yesterday and today's episodes

[Noel]

haha! I still gotta watch yesterday's episode.

[dragonflies]

I'm so proud of my Steffy, she did the right thing, even though Brooke doesn't deserve it(she would have called CPS given the chance)

 

Ugh it really does take a village to prop Brooke's pathetic *ass 

[JtClassicSoaps]

I haven’t actually watched since the Thomas mess was revealed, so I’m glad Steffy wasn’t thrown under the bus as well.
