One of the worst and weirdest things Thudley ever was back in 2018 was having Brooke encourage/force Hope to go after a very married Liam despite his own marital issues saying “It’s okay to go after a married man don’t feel any shame” blah blah blah. 
 

Feels so hysterical and hypocritical now

The "Heather Tom" episode was actually really well done. I still despise Steffy & Taylor but it was a cute Mother/Daughter bonding moment. 

I really wanted Hope to slap Brooke and I was kind of disappointed they hugged it out, but it was definitely a very watchable episode.

Annika is quickly becoming one of my favourite actresses in daytime.  She was phenomenal in Thursday's episode. KKL was also great, but this was definitely Annika's Emmy episode. I agree that Hope was spitting so much truth about Brooke and her relationship with Ridge.  Brooke was right about Hope having to take responsibility for her actions, but Brooke still looked pathetic because she still wants Ridge.  I hate that Brooke has no backbone (except for that one scene where Brooke told Ridge that Taylor was his second choice....but that amounted to nothing).  I was disappointed at the end though because it looks like Brooke/Hope will have made up?  I wanted tension between the two for a long time, with Hope moving out, and maybe starting her own business.   B&B has these powerhouse actresses in Annika, KKL, and Heather Tom, but their characters are written so terribly.

True, but I was thinking about how Bridget got the Forrester name. Not certain of timing, but I always thought Brooke was single because she was divorced from Eric and Ridge was married to Taylor. I don't ever recall 'Bridget Logan' only 'Bridget Forrester.' 

If my memory is correct, kudos to Heather Tom for having Hope call out Brooke's shame.

ITA. If written properly, that episode could have taken the show in an entirely new direction. The fallout of Brooke losing her daughter for once again picking Ridge and having to finally deal with the consequences would have been great, and maybe, just maybe bring Brooke back from someone who lets a man constantly dump on her.

When we keep hearing how great Hope for the Future was doing, I keep thinking this is why Hope should start her own rival fashion house.

Yes... The three girls showed us their power for sure. I still cringe when people say that KKL can't act. She can be fire when given the right material. And I am in agreement that this may get Annika an Emmy nomination at the least.

The photos are really spectacular. If only Bradley Bell realizes what he has and gives her adequate material.

Hey so I saw a clip from the Heather Tom episode and excuse me, Ridge left Brooke for Taylor? They broke up again? And she’s still on this destiny kick? This show is demented. 40 years of this. I thought they’d finally gotten Brooke and Ridge to a degree of normality. Brooke looks absolutely bonkers at her big age of 60+ saying to her adult daughter “no one understands what Ridge and me have.” Yeah, we do, some sort of codependent psychosis! Couple of weirdos!

And back to the life model decoy playing Taylor now formerly known as Rebecca Budig!

You gotta wonder who is Brad writing this show for. He certainly can’t enjoy this.

I’ve been saying for more than a year - when Sally is down on her luck in GC - she needs to have another turn at B&B and have her float between shows.  It’s time to revive Spectra only do it better than the last try.  Could we maybe get a phone call from Sally Sr. Herself?  I know DC is gone but they’ve done it before.

    • LMAO this is the funniest hill I'll die on. Here is what I'm saying ⬇

      The shoulders and sleeves are too tight. He'd benefit from a larger size. The yellow arrows show where the shoulder cut should actually be placed in my opinion. I don't mind the granpa fashion per se, I just have an OCD with sizes LOL
    • Today May 11, 2025, Pope Leo briefly addressed the crowd in the square.  He sang the prayer to Mary and then said:   Dear brothers and sisters, The immense tragedy of the Second World War ended eighty years ago, on 8 May, after having claimed sixty million victims. In today’s dramatic scenario of a piecemeal third world war, as Pope Francis stated many times, I too address the world’s leaders, repeating the ever-timely appeal: “Never again war!”. I carry in my heart the sufferings of the beloved Ukrainian people. May everything possible be done to reach an authentic, just and lasting peace, as soon as possible. Let all the prisoners be freed and the children return to their own families. I am deeply saddened by what is happening in the Gaza Strip: may there be an immediate ceasefire! Let humanitarian aid be provided to the stricken civil population, and let all the hostages be freed. On the other hand, I have welcomed with satisfaction the announcement of the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, and I hope that through the upcoming negotiations, a lasting accord may be reached soon. https://www.vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/en/angelus/2025/documents/20250511-regina-caeli.html
    • Lol! I'm quite sure it would. 
    • But that is pretty much situation normal for all soaps. They do not tend to continue to show things like surgical scars. They also play fast & loose with hospital procedures.
    • re: prior two posts about Trump's new opulent plane contrasted with utter starvation in Gaza... Trump and Netanyahu are giving "Let them eat cake".  And it's horrific. In 2013, Pope Francis removed a bishop from running the Limburg Germany diocese because he was constructing an opulent 31-million-euro building. This is from Reuters obit of Francis: https://www.reuters.com/world/obituary-pope-francis-shook-up-church-with-simplicity-raising-conservative-ire-2025-04-21/ From the start, Francis sent clear signals to priests and bishops about the type of Church he wanted. He said there was no room for "careerists or social climbers" among the clergy, told cardinals they should not live "like princes," and said the Church should not "dissect theology" in lush salons while there were poor people around the corner. "If investments in banks fall, it is a tragedy and people say 'what are we going to do?' but if people die of hunger, have nothing to eat or suffer from poor health, that's nothing. This is our crisis today. A Church that is poor and for the poor has to fight this mentality," he said early in his papacy. -- Pope Francis stood up for the poor, the unhoused, the migrants of all faiths.  He lived simply and ordered that when he died, that he wished to be interred in a simple wooden coffin. I sincerely hope that the new pope Leo will follow Francis' example.
    • Co Sign!!!!   I have been watching the show regularly over the last few weeks and am pleasantly surprised by how much easier it is to watch each day. This definitely is confirmation for me that Paula and Jeanne wrote the stroke episodes, cause I felt the same way watching those. Could be more exciting for sure, but interactions now make more sense and everything seems to be a bit more character driven which is great. I will add though, there are still about 10 or so characters i'd love to see gone, and hope a few will exit in the future! Otherwise, happy with the changes so far. 
    • Sean Freeman looks good in anything. Would not change one thing. Arielle Prepetit looking cute.

    • There is suffering everywhere you look, says mother of emaciated baby girl trapped in Gaza https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czrv5rl73zdo Quoting excerpts from BBC article: The baby's mother Najwa, 23, is changing Siwar's nappy. She weighs just over 2kg (4lb 6oz). A baby girl of five months should be around or over 6kg. "There was no food when I gave birth to her," says Najwa. "If I wanted to feed myself so I could breastfeed her, I had no nutrients to make my health better... She now only drinks formula milk, and we don't know how we'll be able to provide it for her." Israel has banned international journalists from entering Gaza to report independently. According to Siwar's doctor, Ziad al-Majaida, "Nothing enters through the borders, no milk, food or anything. This leads to big problems here for the kids. This baby needs a specific type of milk. It was available before, but because of the border closure, the stocks have run out for a while now." Since the beginning of the year, according to the UN, about 10,000 cases of acute malnutrition among children have been identified. Food prices have rocketed by as much as 1,400%. Charity kitchens, which have helped hundreds of thousands of Gazans, are shutting as food supplies run out. Twenty-five bakeries supported by the World Food Programme have been forced to close. Israel cut off all humanitarian aid and other supplies from entering Gaza on 2 March, and resumed its military offensive two weeks later The United Nations has said the Israeli blockade constitutes "a cruel collective punishment" on civilians. The UN's humanitarian director, former British diplomat Tom Fletcher, said that international law was unequivocal. "As the occupying power, Israel must allow humanitarian support in... Aid, and the civilian lives it saves, should never be a bargaining chip," he warned. From the BBC reporter: I put this point to Boaz Bismuth, a leading member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party. He (Bismuth) denies there is an aid crisis caused by the blockade. "There is food in Gaza... Israel wouldn't do such a restriction if the population didn't have food. I mean, I know my country perfectly well," he (Bismuth) said. BBC reporter: I put it to Bismuth that he was denying the evidence of people's eyes, that children were starving. "There are not starving children. I repeat again." He (Bismuth) said that there had been allegations months ago of famine, ethnic cleansing and genocide in Gaza "which was crap". ----  ----  ---- A UK-based advocacy group for Israel has the nerve to claim war may reduce obesity in Gaza https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/10/uk-lawyers-for-israel-condemned-over-claim-war-may-reduce-obesity-in-gaza
