Woooow!!! So Carter taking over IS legit at the moment. Uh oh now. Somewhere...Maya is smirking. 

 

Seriously, though I thought those were some good scenes. I loved that Eric was there and there was a Quinn callout. And Steffy ain't so smug now, is she? And in a way, this latest Forrester mess looks like it will give Brooke and Ridge some real meaty drama. Because his hatred for Hope is really growing.

 

I think the actor playing Remy is cute. Which is funny since he's so not my type. lol. But so far, so good with this storyline. 

 

A Poppy sighting! And I can't believe Luna wrote Bill at his job. More shocking was seeing Bill show up at the prison? Where IS this storyline going?

I admit, I would probably like this storyline of Carter taking over Forrester and Carter and Hope’s relationship if there were any kind of stakes and build up to it. 

But with the way Brad writes, everything will probably be fine, and Carter will be back in everyone’s good graces by Spring. 

Btw, where the hell is RJ? The only biological Logan and Forrester that’s (I think) still on the canvas should be a part of this feud.

ITA. As usual, so many story beats just skipped over which makes it hard to invest in any storyline. One of things that I often annoys me about the show is that there are no long-term ramifications to anything anymore. You're right that by Spring everyone will have forgotten any of this happened, and Carter will be back to his old job. 

RJ's disappearance doesn't make any sense, either. He should be torn between the Logan and Forrester sides. Also, I don't believe he EVER had a scene with Luna to confront her about what all she did. I mean...wouldn't the guy be traumatized by all of it???

It's just bad writing to push Brooke towards supporting Hope and Carter thereby creating an opening for Taylor and Ridge, again....

But while I certainly could see Brooke turning against Steffy and possibly even Ridge, I just don't buy that she would do that to Eric.

Also the writers have decided to forget that Ridge was a father figure to Hope for years and years... and years. This is just so absurd. Bad, bad writing... that makes me ashamed of how little Bradley Bell knows of human nature. It's 2024 and he's still writing in men calling women nasty little bitches. Whatever... it's just unrealistic. Ridge used to adore Hope back in the day and you do not talk like that to a kid you were a father figure to. You just don't. There is a certain boundary of how an older man should speak to a younger woman and that is just... pushing it into a nasty category. 

If Brooke continues to stay with this idiot, then she's the bigger idiot. But we all know... she will. Even if we have to watch another breakup. Yawn.

It's disgusting, isn't it? That the woman always gets the blame. So sexist and so chauvinist. And it's so scary to think that.. in this world there are actually women cheering on men (Ridge) calling girls/young women (Hope) - nasty little bitches... I saw plenty of comments online and some of them... women... cheering this behavior on. Imagine it's their daughters some day getting spoken to like that by a man. It's so tacky. 

I'm not saying Hope is an innocent angel... I'm just saying - in the context of the show right now... and the situation on hand... this is not how it's done. But what can we expect of a character (Ridge) that has raped women twice. (Caroline and Brooke). And a writer that has constantly written women as some kind of demented sexually-starved monsters? 

It's not that shocking to hear it... in a junk show like Bold, but it's still tacky.

Awful, horrible writing. I feel sorry for actors having to recite dialogue like this. Give Steffy that line, and I feel differently, but from Ridge? No.

 

Agree with you and others that RJ should be in the mix.

This is another example of Brad getting bored with a character after 6 months.

    • Nick told Victoria that he and Sharon had married in England.  Victoria was shocked.  Then she realized he was kidding.  He confirmed it was a joke and they're platonic. I don't even know what to say about that.
    • It's funny you say that because part of the entertainment of the trials on the show are all the day players who come on as witnesses and jurors.  I'm certain it was like the Law and Order of its time. It employed so many New York actors, that if you look close enough, there's usually someone vaguely recognizable in the courtroom.
    • I will defend Dante.  People already suspect he may be a bit unstable from time to time (from his time as a prisoner).  And, he's taking care of other people's kids from time to time.  So, he has reason to be cautious with those in his care.
    • Josh continues to try and milk Abbott/Newman rivalry. First it was Billy/Victoria, then Kyle/Summer, then Noah/Allie (that worked out well) and now Kyle/Claire. Do we have any inkling when Billy Flynn will arrive and who he will play? I'm sure Cole's illness will mostly play offscreen. What's in store for Nick and Sharon? Is it time to put them back together? I can't see any other romantic options. Nick has no children on the canvas to play off, as Christian is never seen. Sharon has only Mariah onscreen.
    • I would appreciate (if they're not coming), for future scripts to refer to them by their iconic hairdos.  For example, if Hope needs to call Chelsea because Bo has Sepsis, I'd like Shawn-D to say, "My Mom called Chelsea (the one with the sassy short black hair) for an update." Also, new rule, if Melanie does return, she needs to dye her hair back to red.  I googled who she was five times during Victor's funeral.

    • Broderick, thank you for all of the info [I edited for space]. I am so grateful for everyone filling in the blanks for me. I suspected the Nora/Eliot scene was very important and it was setting something up but I didn't know what. Can't wait to see it play out. The two actors had such a great back and forth. I should have made the Paige/Patty Hearst connection. I thought Paige was in love with Brian from the first episode I watched but it seemed as if they were brother and sister. Steve kept being affectionate with her so I assumed he was the love interest. Then she was affectionate with someone else and well..she's a very busy woman. I can't wait to see Frances Fisher show up. (I'm trying to be vague because I don't know what would be a spoiler in this storyline) Now it makes sense why Draper would be upset. I didn't get the whole background of why he didn't go to NY. I'm a sucker for good acting, so I might still side with April and Margo, if the writers don't give Draper more to do besides yelling.  He had more chemistry with Logan, but I know that's not happening.  Something else I noticed: the show really takes care with even the smallest parts. The acting is superb. Too often, I noticed on older soaps they don't take care with the recurring or day players (Ryan's Hope was so bad with this that I couldn't make it through some episodes). It's only been six episodes, but so far, the casting department was spot on.
    • I thought Dante was overreacting.  Gio made some mistakes but he's young and he tried.  It's not like he dragged two 14 years to a party and made them get blackout drunk.  Dante can have the initial upset reaction, but to go on and on was a bit much.  
    • His (adoptive) nieces.  Chelsea and Stephanie.  I think Abby was involved too, but I am not sure if they are related lol.
    • That was such a dark story. I never liked Swamp girl after that. And then the dating your cousin thing. I think wasn’t Max in a triangle with two of his cousins?
    • Thank you, @j swift.  I'm probably more sympathetic to Draper Scott than most audience members are -- even though I'm absolutely CRAZY about Ann Williams & her bizarre Margo Huntington character

      The more I watch these episodes -- and I've watched several of them a zillion times, I'm ashamed to admit -- you realize there's a WHOLE lot of passive-aggressive hostility brewing inside Margo Huntington about Draper.  She wants to take April AWAY from him and recreate the childhood that she never got to experience with April, because of the adoption 25 years ago.  Draper has sense enough to realize how heartless and vindictive Margo really is about other people's lives and their feelings, but he bites his tongue rather than poison his wife's mind about how horrible her mother really is.  And I admire him for that.  He's a sweet boy.
