B&B: December 2024 Discussion Thread

[I Am A Swede]

The huge, glaring omission in this whole story is obviously R.J. His absence makes absolutely no sense, and he should be right in the middle of it all.

Eric should also be more prominent, but then Brad Bell couldn't get the narrative he wants. Because I will never believe that Brooke would side with Hope and Carter against Eric. She would gladly do it to spite Steffy, and right now probably also to spite Ridge, but she wouldn't do it to Eric.

[Rmodelboy]

It always has baffled me that Taylor never gets her body count rattled off like Brooke and now Hope. Steffy seems to forget her past, hell Ridge is the ultimate male slut. The one sided hypocritical writing has hurt this show for many years.

[Fevuh]

All it would take is a little memory.  Why has Hope not thrown anything in Steffy’s  face?  Wait, I’m the slut from the Valley but you jump in bed with Liam’s brother because WYYYY AT NOTTT?  When  Liam didn’t return a text/bumped his head on a plane?   Jumped in bed hot as a cat in heat?  Stolen any babies with your Mom lately?  Killed any girls on the side of the road lately ? Why aren’t you and your latest Mother In Law better friends? You have a lot on common.  Stalked Ivy lately over Liam?  Your husband know little puke will come sniffin soon and you’ll be riding son of Stallion before ya know it?  Or do you prefer Stallion himself?  
 

I seriously think they should go there, have Hope embrace it.

I just want to know is it really mandated that the Forresters sins are never suppose to get aired out like the Logan’s do?? It’s not good story telling, when history isn’t acknowledged and I really just want to know what Thudley has against any of what Steffy, Ridge or Taylor done in the past ever being bought up? Other than pushing this stupid “Logan’s are Bad” agenda. 

[Fevuh]

Right!  Do they not have memories or keep up with what they write?  
 

I did want to say - KKL was great, IMO.  I am not a super fan or anything but, tears in eyes, natural, not scenery chewing screeching?   I really would think about the Emmy reel, and it would be great if she won.  
 

If they’re going to have Ridge go there, have Brooke rake him.  Did you forget you’re not even a Forrester?  And that means neither is Steffy, right?  All of you are imposters.  Bring Thorne back in and support Brooke.

I draw the line at Ridge... Hope's father figure since birth... calling her a "worthless slut"...  Disgusting. I have no other words. 

BTW - KKL was bringing it tonight! Made me have goosebumps when she finally burst out with anger. One of her best performances. 

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! I got goosebumps! 

[YRfan23]

I actually do think it'd be hilarious if the REAL Forresters were actually in favor of Ridge and Steffy being pushed out of the company....We really should be getting the whole Marone factor back into play.

 

Yes, but HATEEEE that Ridge walked out on his own!!!

 she should have be the one to kick his a$$ out!

Ridge should have known better... he should have remembered what happens when Brooke is on the prowl. They are calling them "worthless sluts"... Girls, let's show them what a "slut" is capable of!

Ridge and his guard dog of a daughter are going to squirm. Their tyranny is OVER. Forrester was best when it was operated and dominated by a " worthless slut"... Ridge should remember the time when he was an employee of Brooke and kissing her ass every day at work. That's going to be his future again. History always repeats itself. 

And that's the best case scenario for these idiots. In the worst case scenario... he should give the guard dog... condolences about her future divorce with her husband. Mama Brooke's gonna get that revenge the most wicked way possible. 

[skiman12082004]

The absolute hypocrisy being displayed this week with the Forrester's acting holier than thou is laughable. Eric, Ridge and especially Steffy are judging Hope for the men she's been with??? Look in the mirror losers. I have watched B&B since the first episode so I REMEMBER everything. This selective amnesia is ridiculous. Hope and Brooke should be calling them all out for their past indiscretions.

While I’m absolutely still in hysterics over Ridge’s behavior, does anyone actually care about this Remy/Electa stuff or Lunacy’s return?

[Maxim]

KKL needs to send this episode as part of her Emmy reel!

The past 6 months KKL has been given great material and she just brings it - her convos with Hope about Finn, Brooke's Bedroom and, now, the FC takeover.

KKL actually got me to tear up when she read Ridge. Her acting choices were superb. Instead of histrionics and blathering, she served a captivating and believable performance.

Of course as Brooke is hovering over those bottled waters ... I kept wondering how long before 2022's "Why did I drink?' is replaced 2025's 'RIDGE, you made me drink!'

[Maxim]

I really hope not. The last thing we need is to see a 60+ woman drinking herself to death because of this clown. Brooke should step her sh-t up and rule the company like a despot. The same way... and even worse than Ridge and his guard dog. 

I am done with seeing women cry and act weak for men like Ridge Forrester. It's time misogyny suffers a blow or two.

Maybe I would care about this story if not within six months...

Ridge and Steffy will get the company back. Carter will be "forgiven" and be back to being Ridge's "best friend and part of the family" and barely used. Ridge will bounce back and forth between Brooke and Taylor a few times (again). No one will even remember that ANY OF THIS even happened.

This has been a problem with the show for many, many years. There are never any long-term impacts to any of the stories. Instead, everything is "reset" to what it was before with zero character growth...or hell, even acknowledgment that anything happened!
