Well, I say this much...he might have been a lame hehe wingman, but I enjoyed the little misadventure of Liam and Will and the Forrester interns. The fact that they already know who Will is cuz he's cute has been a hoot. And I already see a vibe with him and Amy. Liking the actress and I can see the two of them together. And yes, Liam was so lame to do the baby pictures. Just such a parent. Resonated though. And now he's back to thinking on Hope.

 

And speaking of Hope...uh...I don't know what to think of THAT? I guess the idea of Carter and Hope is just odd because even the build-up has been odd to me. So it just doesn't feel organic. 

 

I'm always here for Sinn flashbacks. 

 

That said...seeing Sheila reminded me that nothing be going on that keeps my interest on this show. So worrying a bit. Perhaps I can get another round of Sheila vs Li.

What happened today on this idiotic show? Missed it. 

[Soapsuds]

Steffy should be worried about Brooke and not Hope.

Brooke and Liam. It's about time this happens. We know her history, so I'm surprised she's taken her sweet time. You're overdue for this one, Brooke.

I tuned in for a brief moment and saw Greenlee straddling Zach, both of them sobbing like they’d just shared an emotional, non-penetrative climax. It was... a lot to process.

Sounds like a good old chakra cleanse.

So instead of Eric playing 'pickleball' with Donna while married to Quinn ...

Donna is playing 'chess' with Justin! One can only hope.

[Maxim]

If it was only Justin... 

[Maxim]

Brooke's reaction.

Is giving me LIFE.

Yesterday's episode was... how should I put it... bizarre. Why was everyone talking in this quiet, strange manner?...The generic background music didn't help... (God I miss the old soapy themes - they gave the show some much needed character). Why was Brooke acting like she was drugged or hypnotized while talking to Taylor? The whole scene was so static and lifeless... with both of them just sitting in front of one another and talking about Taylor healing her chakra on Ridge's... lap... in this slow... quiet way. Then Brooke and Ridge in their bedroom... once again - cringe and strange. 

This whole sleepy atmosphere was wrong. This was a moment for some dynamic back and forth. Imagine seeing your biggest rival sitting in your man's lap. Would you act like this? Who directed this scene? Strange. The show doesn't feel like Bold anymore. I don't know what they are going for, but it's not working for me.

You can't throw things like chakra cleansing and broken heart syndrome... and then act all demure in scenes like it's some kind of European intellectual drama. It doesn't work. 

KKL and RB both looked bored with the script they had to utter. I mean, how many times will Rebecca have to repeat this nonsense about broken heart syndrome. How many times? This is the new mints... BROKEN HEART SYNDROME... EVERY day... multiple times every episode. WE GOT IT! Stop saying the same thing like we are idiots. The only semi-cool reaction was when Brooke asked her - Are you kidding me... But it all went downhill from there. The pressure dropped and the scene got sleepy and boring.

B-O-R-I-N-G.

So, yes. I have no idea what I'm watching, I don't even recognize the character of Brooke, she is acting like Hope Logan circa 2010... and even Hope was not that weak. The OG Brooke would have been there, slapping Taylor off of Ridge's lap and throwing her into a heart attack. 

And also... I really can't believe Bradley is REPEATING this storyline once again. I mean... even Krista's return was more exciting... and Hunter's done this storyline of Ridge slipping back into Taylor... at least 10 times or even more. How many times before it's too much? KKL is probably rolling her eyes every time nobody is watching from the sh-t they are making her do. That's like dancing the same dance for 40 years. At one point... it really gets old. 

Who wants to watch this? Is there someone who enjoys this? I am really asking for myself. 

P.S I also think all of this will lead to some kind of sick twist very soon. Every storyline of 2024 has a twist, so I'm expecting this one soon.
