It's just different!

[Maxim]

Steffy's reaction is absurd. Even more absurd than Thomas leaving for Paris, because Hope was not ready to say Yes. 

I mean... Finn was honest for once with her and that's her reaction? Good way to make your man lie to you from now on... which is sure going to lead to a fairytale - not.

If Taylor and mints are involved I won’t miss it.  I hope Steffy walks in on it somehow with Hope.  “You needed to worry about your Mom instead of me apparently. Room for all kinds of sluts in the Valley”

I wish they had cast RB as Taylor's younger sister since B&B thrives on family, um, connections.

KKL and AN continued to kill it this week. KKL even brought out the tears. The writing for those scenes has been unusually good. I loved Brooke persistence - she never rationalized or excused Hope's behavior. It really rang true that Brooke doesn't want Hope to follow her path.

If Brooke refuses to defend Hope to Steffy, I'll be as shocked as Steffy and Taylor! I hope they go that route because it would be fresh take on the very tired Forrester v Logan drama.

[Maxim]

OK. I'll be the first one to say it. I am just fresh from my viewing and let me tell you this. Rebecca's chemistry is with KKL. I was very surprised, but there WAS venom coming from both sides and that's a good sign. And the way KKL was looking at her, I loved it. KKL is a chemistry magnet, so that does really help... It's still not real Taylor, but at least it will be fun watching the confrontations between these two ladies. 

 

P.S And from the looks of it - this Taylor and Brooke will never be friends. And I'm kinda here for it.

I will say with a lot of shame in my heart, I will be looking forward to tomorrow. I kinda like the stern sinister Rebecca Taylor, it's about time someone rocks Brooke's life and makes her feel miserable! 

P.S 2 - Rebecca, Taylor or not Taylor, was kinda amazing today. I got goosebumps at times. I am going to love this girl.

OK. I had to re-watch the scenes, because I loved it so much. Consider me a Rebecca Budig FAN.

Rebecca is at her best when she plays bitchy.

[ranger1rg]

Rebecca Budig is a good actor, but that is not Taylor.

[edgeofnik]

Considering this was RB's like 4th or 5th episode, she really kicked butt.

RB owned those scenes like she'd been there for years. Yeah, it's going to take me a long time to accept her as *Taylor*, but if keeps rockin' scenes like today, she's a welcome addition.

Compare RB's performance to those really bad RJ/Luna scenes. Both actors were so off, it was painful.

Love, love, love Steffy witnessing that kiss! I thought she was going to throw-up right there. Guess what, Steffy? Luna is part of your perfect family.

 

[Maxim]

Absolutely. I loved it. And not ashamed to say it I'm waiting for tomorrow. Just to see more Rebecca / KKL scenes.

I’m wondering now where is this Luna thing is going with Steffy being the one to see them kiss for a second time…Steffy says she is leaving town, wonder if Luna kidnaps her something.

I too liked RB’s performance as well today although I need to see more of this and where it goes before I can accept her as Taylor 3.0

[Maxim]

I think she and KKL have potential to elevate the horrible scripts to a point where the show is watchable and dynamic again. At least I hope so. They have the chemistry! It works between them. Maybe that's why Bradley Bell decided to pick her. Still wrong though, but at least something works in this whole mess.

[YRfan23]

Lol, this is most definitely not what Thudster has planned but I just wondered if Steffys reaction to Luna/Bill was actual disgust or if she’s just measuring the “competition” of one of her old flames!
