I'm not saying that Brooke hasn't done a lot of horrible things, but she's the only one who constantly gets dragged through the mud for these things. Some of which happened decades ago. And just to clarify things, she did not drive Macy to kill herself. They were in a car accident, provoked by Brooke's actions yes, but Macy didn't die.... Macy died years later off screen, after she had been hit by a chandelier. And what's also funny is how Brooke is the one who gets all the blame for the things you mentioned. I would think that the men ought to shoulder some of the blame.

And I stand by my opinion that people like Stephanie and Taylor get off way to easy. Especially Taylor. Brooke may have done some morally questionable things to say the least, but Taylor has repeatedly broken the law. She was driving drunk when she hit Darla with her car, she looked at Brooke's medical records without permission and revealed her pregnancy, and then she shot Bill.

I thought that was all bad at the time too, but I guess I am over it. Yes, it was disgusting and shocking. I started watching when she was pregnant with Bridget and I found it so gross, that she didn't know if her husband was the baby's father or grandfather. I was never a fan of Brooke. I could not even understand why anyone would fight over Ridge, but if they were, I felt that Taylor "deserved him" because she was a good and moral person, and Brooke was disgusting. I could even overlook her sleeping with James in the cabin. Taylor was classy and intelligent. I remember Brooke parading around in lingerie, putting a bed in her office, sneaking up on Ridge in the sauna, throwing her underwear in his face... and he was a married man with children. I thought it was despicable. I was appalled when she then went after Thorne. IIRC young Bridget walked in on them and puked into a plant. I understood Stephanie's rage and rooted for her even though she's no saint herself. And then she slept with Bridget's husband! She just couldn't help herself. No accountability.

 

I can't say I ever thought she was abusing the men though, seems to me they all slept with her willingly (although Eric and Ridge have both taken advantage of Brooke while she was impaired by alcohol and couldn't consent).

 

At this point though.. everyone else has done the same thing (bad writing - keep playing the same story over and over with different characters, so now it's nothing special). Taylor has been involved with Ridge, his father, both his brothers, Brooke's son (also her daughter's boyfriend), father, AND brother. Yeah it was bad when Brooke slept with Thorne, but Taylor also slept with Thorne after killing his wife while drunk driving and lying about it while planning to marry him. That's a whole other level of despicable.  And we are supposed to buy Taylor not only as reading the Bible, but being a missionary! And she and Steffy sit there judging the Logan sisters as if they haven't done all the same things. At this point the Logans seem quite normal and functional and not worse than anybody else.

Yeah she did drive Macy to kill herself. Watch the scenes. Macy decided to crash since Brooke told HER THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN do about it. And then she realized she had lost Thorne. I think she attempted to kill Brooke and kill herself in that moment. That is how I perceive it. What THEY REWROTE years later is ANOTHER THING. Macy died in 2000. The re-wrote was STUPID.

I think that's exaggerating a bit.

As for the letter, I believe that Caroline found out about that and read the letter before she married Thorne, didn't she? So, even though what Brooke did was despicable, no argument there, Caroline had the facts and still went ahead and married Thorne.

It may have been stupid, but the re-write still happened and is part of the show's history. I do agree with you that Macy probably was trying to kill both herself and Brooke, but that doesn't change the fact that they both survived and Macy died years later. If she did die.... we don't know that for sure since it happened off screen.

Please. You understand what I am saying. In your way of thinking WE SHOULD NEVER criticize Taylor for killing someone BECAUSE in a year this SOMEONE MAY BE ALIVE. I am executing your argument to your previous statement.  

But... that's it for me. I am not beating that dead horse about Brooke on... Christmas. Let's all be marry and just have a laugh at all this bad writing in the show, OK.

I've been watching Bold as a comedy for years and I have never taken anything serious in the last 20 years. Sometimes Bradley is so bad HE IS GOOD. I have to be honest... I kinda wish Brooke would sleep with Liam and then get pregnant or get and STD or something. I need Liam to be completely destroyed as a character, so he would be finally written off in a year or two. And we all know a way out of the show is through Brooke's lingerie. 

I need something scandalous and Hope and Thomas doesn't cut it. Something cheap for Christmas... and the new year. Bradley has lost his touch in the incest stories.

Bradley should really invite Susan Lucci to play a new matriarch. This show lacks AN OLDER woman in power. Brooke, as much as she is not a little girl anymore, will forever be the siren for me. She is not a matriarch. We need a new older woman in charge in this show. We need someone Stephanie like.

I feel like Brooke has to sleep with Liam at some point to complete the circle. Thomas too. It was so funny when she slept with Oliver but Bradley didn't want to make her slutty again so he made it into a preposterous mistake, and then when Ridge found out he pretty much grunted "oh, Logan!!!" like it was a sitcom... which it was... and this is why Ridge has to be played by Ronn Moss!

    • Thanks -- you're doing God's work The Gio reveal was everything I hoped for and more. GH got it right. Head to toe, GM is a stunning physical specimen.
    • I really wonder how they'll handle Netflix's usual long breaks between seasons. That girl is going to grow up fast... makes me wonder if this wouldn't have been a better fit for HBO Max considering they're leaning into a more broadcast style of production model with The Pitt.
    • I agree -- I didn't suspect Ted, either. I think a lot of people are giving themselves way too much credit in predicting Ted's problems

      And can I have a different take on Ted here? Yes, he's made a huge mistake with this Leslie debacle, and yes, he has to suffer and pay for it. But does that make Ted a terrible human being? I don't think it does. He made a horrific mistake over 2 decades ago, and as far as we know, he's been a good husband and father since. As far as we know, he hasn't strayed or violated his marriage since. He didn't know that he fathered another child, and thought he "removed" Leslie from his life. I won't blame Nicole if she doesn't forgive him, but I also won't blame her if she decides what they have and what they've had more than makes up for what he did. Ted is getting dragged far more than Bill is on these boards, and I think Bill is MUCH worse as a husband and father. How many times did he cheat on Dani during their marriage? How many times did he do vile things in his role as fixer? How much did he hurt his daughters by screwing their friend and marrying her? With Keith Robinson coming in as Ted, maybe we'll see a character change in direction and we'll discover that Ted has many flaws and always had a dark side. For now, though, I'm inclined to both be angry with Ted for hurting his family while also sympathizing with him. I know what you mean, but I do think that was intentional. So much was going on in that episode, and I think they decided not to let Nicole's reaction be lost in all that. Nicole will get those scenes that you're asking for.  
    • That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be. 
    • I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here. 
    • It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.
    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
    • I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.
