B&B: December 2024 Discussion Thread

[YRfan23]

I totally agree, I'm up for both Brooke AND Taylor to have new men in their lives or be strong independent women...which Thudley doesn't believe in unfortunately....

KKL deserves better material than what she's given the last decade or so. Like... Bradley at this point can't afford to lose her. I am not saying he will, since I know KKL loves her job and is very loyal to the show... but still... You never know these days. If KKL leaves this show, then the whole thing will collapse. She's the only thing holding it semi-together, since she's been here from day 1 and is an iconic character that's engraved in the entire DNA of the show.

12-18

 

You know what? This appears to be a solid week so far.

 

All the drama with the Forrester Takeover appear to have a momentum to it. Zende about to quit only to be a double agent. Carter already thinking about turning it into a lifestyle brand (STFU Ridge with you shading that). And now...Carter wanting Brooke at the CEO. YES, PLEASE. That will make Ridge shut up reeeeeal quick. It's a juicy idea.

 

And then the stalker storyline. It's giving nice B plot right alongside the Takeover storyline. And...of course, Katie would be the one to get the pictures. lol. I liked how she went to Brooke with it. I don't like how they are handling the firing of Electra. At least tell her something. And I thought the actress really put in the work with her dramatics. But I continue to think that it's going to be Sheila that figures Remy out.

I want to see chauvinist pig Ridge get ruined. That's what motivates me to watch.

[Taoboi]

I know right!!! I've sooo irked by Ridge's presence. He's going to feel a way when Brooke runs the company better than he ever could.

After watching today, I could not agree with you more. I need Brooke to take Ridge down big time.

And may I say I agree with your signature.

At least Brad chose the right history to re-spin - BeLief:

1. Like 1993, Brooke is willing to give FC back to the Forresters because it's the right thing to do.

2. Like 1993, Brooke is betrayed by Ridge.

3. Like 1993, Brooke will wake-up and realize the Forresters don't give a you-know-what about her.

Let's hope she doesn't revert soon. This story actually has a lot more potential. More than Ridge, Brooke taking over the CEO position should be to protect her three(!) Forrester children's legacy.

The show should explore this angle, especially RJ and Rick. Bridget doesn't care, but it's still her father's company.

I would actually not be that surprised if Eric comes around and supports Brooke. He may not like Carter and Hope's takeover, but he's always had a soft spot for Brooke and supported her. When he finds out her reason for accepting the CEO spot and how Ridge couldn't wait to get it on with Taylor he might switch sides.

[Soapsuds]

Ridge was an a$$ to Brooke. He didn't give her a chance to even speak.

Ridge is disgusting. 

Bradley writes all the male characters as weak. Ridge is another Liam.

Where is RJ? He should be all over this story.

Alright let me get today’s 12/24 episode out of the way, especially after yesterday’s disgusting mess of Ridge not even giving Brooke time to get one word in. Time to bring back Rick, bring on Dino, and takeover Forrester with a “blood Forrester” clause.

It was good to see Pam and Bridget again. I really wish Bridget would stick around. The flashback to Christmas 2022 was a bit odd, considering Brooke had just sworn off Ridge at the time.  RJ was nowhere to be found at either the Logans or Forresters. Donna not even acknowledging Brooke’s absence or vice versa with Logan’s missing Donna. Just WTF. Heck Electra and Ivy weren’t even at the Forresters.

Ridge getting his first PEN from Taylee has “stapler”, “mints” and “ten toes!” written all over it.

I’m going to assume Bill spent Christmas at the commissary with Lunatic while Deacon chased Sheila around Il Giradino in a Santa suit. Meanwhile Thudley got a stocking full of coal on Christmas morning.

This Christmas episode is SO BAD it's awesome. I'm loving that every scene, every line is a laugh riot!

-- The camera panning those Xmas ornaments like there's some Horton family tradition involved.

-- Brooke pretending she decorated that tree.

-- Katie showing up like she's dressed for a night at the strip club.

-- Zende looking like he hasn't put down the fork since Halloween while RJ is nowhere in sight.

-- The kids are off in some other room, as usual. So much "It's all about family" while the kids are nowhere in sight.

-- Taylor giving Ridge his pen from "our first Xmas together." Dumbest psychiatrist ever.

-- Carter and Hope under the mistletoe, without a single ounce of chemistry.

-- Katie presenting Brooke with a plate of food, and Brooke proceeds to eat a grape. A single grape.

-- Brooke tells Katie she's "not giving up on Ridge" -- the day after catching him with Taylor.

-- Taylor telling Ridge "I know this must be a tough Xmas for you" while Ridge replies "Because I lose my best friend." Taylor has to add "And Brooke."

-- Steffy telling Taylor "You're home...where you belong...and Dad agrees."

-- Doormat Brooke texting Ridge a Merry Christmas with an XO.

-- Chubby Zende reminding everyone that it's really all about the birth of Jesus.

-- Singing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" without any of the kids around.

 

The entire show was an epic fail, but worth watching if you laugh at all of it.
