Members edgeofnik Posted Saturday at 04:08 PM Members Share Posted Saturday at 04:08 PM Not to mention Bridget and Rick - caught between Eric and Brooke. No way Rick wouldn't have returned to LA to work with his mother and protect his legacy as Forrester. The other beat: throw in $B. Justin was already involved. Does anyone really believe $B would stay on the sidelines? Seriously, he would be backing Brooke and Katie and probably engineering a *coup* of Carter to snag FC for his two queens. Eric/Ridge could've reluctantly gone back to FC to design couture. Thomas could've re-emerged. Brooke's BeLief takeover had everyone working together, which presented plenty of organic drama. I never understood Ridge/Eric hiding out at the mansion instead of being at FC everyday in Carter's face. Like they would pin *all* their hopes on getting FC back on Steffy p*mping out some French woman. Please. This is a story that could've played out for two years. So now that Eric has his stapler back, Hope is canned, there's absolutely no drama at FC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members I Am A Swede Posted Saturday at 04:30 PM Members Share Posted Saturday at 04:30 PM This whole story was so full of missed opportunities it's ridiculous. I guess that's just another example of how lacking in creativity Brad Bell's writing is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members edgeofnik Posted Saturday at 06:25 PM Members Share Posted Saturday at 06:25 PM Yeah, I briefly returned to see the Finn/Lunacy reveal. The March Madness break reminded why I should stop wasting 18 minutes a day and return to reading recaps. It's a shame. There's absolutely no compelling reason to watch or care. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted Saturday at 07:42 PM Members Share Posted Saturday at 07:42 PM Maybe at this rate the less people watch maybe Thudley Bell will buy a clue…then again maybe not… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted Saturday at 09:34 PM Members Share Posted Saturday at 09:34 PM 3-19 Well for a short week, I liked it. I think my only disappointment was that this episode had no more of Luna/Sheila. The theme: fallout. I've liked what I saw in both main stories. I loved Poppy vs Luna. It looked like Luna was just mowing all over her mother. Therefore, I was happy to see Poppy got some good licks in at the end. And then the reveal to Sheila...? That's just trouble waiting to happen. Scratch that, I didn't like Luna saying to Poppy that she's basically going to aim herself at Will. And the fallout from the Takeover. I liked it even though it ended basically being status quo. Or maybe I should say that I liked the acting. We all know JMW gives good bitca and that was on full display on this episode. Meanwhile, Carter making up with Ridge was awww. But now they are just walking all over him. And Brooke...is just being Brooke. Le sigh. I see a lot of moving parts that intrigue me (where does Daphne go from here, is Brooke really not going to help her daughter, Hope's next step, the hint of couture aka fashion show coming) but it's funny how Hope is basically out on her butt like she said she would be if Carter gave in. Good cliffhangers going into March Madness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted Saturday at 09:39 PM Author Administrator Share Posted Saturday at 09:39 PM I sometimes don't pay close attention to the show (I'll do other things while the show is on in the background) but wasn't it Carter who come up with this whole takeover idea? How in the world is Hope getting the most blame out of all of this? Am I being gaslit by how everyone is blaming Hope? And now it looks like Brooke will also turn on Hope too. That Sheila/Luna kiss was weird. WTF was that. LOL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted Saturday at 10:35 PM Members Share Posted Saturday at 10:35 PM Bingo. And of course it's Hope to blame! In this misogynistic show it's always the woman's fault... Haven't you heard that in Ridge's eyes she is a worthless slut and nasty little bitch?! We counted, btw... and Hope has slept with couple of guys LESS than his guard dog Steffy. And yes, he said all of this in front of Brooke. Her mother. Who then had this "Aha!" moment, slapped the sh-t out of him... and stormed out... leaving all of us feeling like a new era may be on the horizon. But no... After that scene... Brooke was basically written out... minimized to crying over losing Ridge to Taylor. And right now... it looks like she is going to side with Ridge against her daughter. Maybe it's time to step it up a notch and write it so Brooke gifts a kidney to Ridge... to make him realize how much she will sacrifice for him. Never in the nearly 40 years history of the show... has Brooke been such a pathetic loser. She was once Bradley's favorite storyline driver... I wonder what happened... so that in 2025 she only gets the worst of scraps. People don't want to believe it... but I won't be surprised if she left in the coming years. KKL has been traveling non stop in Europe and was just given the Powerful Woman Award in Italy. She's going places where she is being treated basically like royalty. And her episodes on Bold are becoming less and less and less. Good FOR her! Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted Saturday at 10:43 PM Members Share Posted Saturday at 10:43 PM Perhaps it's because Carter is showing remorse. Meanwhile, Hope can't be bothered. But...she's not wrong to not be bothered so... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1974mdp Posted 13 hours ago Members Share Posted 13 hours ago All of this is spot on. IMO, you're correct that written correctly this story could have run a couple of years and had long term fall out. I think it flopped from jump because the way Carter took control made no sense at all. There's no way this would have stood up in court, and then, all he had to do was rip the papers in half to return the company??? Really??? If it was so easy, why didn't Steffy just go in the office and rip them up herself. A much more plausible story, such as when Brook took control because of their misuse of her creation, would have made much more sense. And, then play out all of the beats. It had the potential to be rife with conflict and leaving all the Forrester/Logan hybrids having to pick sides. I think something that's been missing for a loooong time on this show is an underdog, like Spectra, trying to climb the ranks. This story could have resulted in a group of characters starting a rival company, for instance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
