Everyone in this show has been a hot mess for more than 30 years. I mean... Please. My point was that this current Taylor is not even Taylor. She is a pathetic shell of a woman that exists only to make Ridge feel he's a God . And no, I'm sorry... we can't ignore the fact that Bradley has recast this character twice only to humiliate her even further. And further. That's the key point. There are important nuances that we can't close our eyes to. It's not the same as Taylor being a "mess" ever since 2005. Because it is different. Again...  if you ask me... Taylor and everyone else have been a mess ever since 1994, but that's another topic. So... No... I don't see anyone "acting brand new" about anything. We are just saying our opinion.

I still think that this particular fan base that used to drive online discussions... The Taylor camp... is completely gone at this point. Nobody sees or perceives 2025 Taylee as Taylor Hayes.

How delicious! I don't know what I'd lick first the ice cream or.......?😂😇😍😋😁☺️😊

Brooke is pathetic!

Lunacy didn't shoot the peep squeak!

-- Luna just let Will go? 😂 

-- "Backup is on its way!" Uh....excuse me? Shouldn't backup be right outside the damn door? And then Luna "gets away" before backup shows. 🤣

-- Eric looked like let he out a long silent fart when Taylor told him she and Ridge were engaged. 😂

So far, so good. Nothing was irking me (except for Taylee) like how Y&R is currently irking me. Where is new BTG when I need it? lol. 

 

I can't believe that Will would put himself in a position to be shirtless to be that close to Luna. I did giggle at the lipstick camera. And Electra feeling a way about it. But I'm not bored at it silly though it is.

 

I love that Nick's very presence is driving story. And there's such an air of mystery to how long he is here for. I can't wait to see what happens with him and Brooke. Meanwhile, Taylee and her proposal...GIRL, BYE. All because you know Ridge will sniff around Brooke with the quickness now that Nick is back. 

A little bit of Bold recorded after my Y&R recording and naturally Ridge has now left Brooke again to be with Taylor again. Bradley Bell is an AWFUL writer.

Imagine if Bill Bell knew that 40 years later, the character of Brooke will be in the exact starting position she was in 1987 - in "love" with Ridge, but still not able to sustain a lasting relationship with him. All of these years, all of these marriages, all of these pregnancies and scandals later, Brooke is back to her early 20s phase.

Bradley Bell has denied her any growth, he has stripped her from anything that is not defined by Ridge. If you close your eyes a little, you may even believe she's the young Brooke from day 1. But she isn't. She isn't smart anymore, she isn't cunning, she lacks ambition and she is predictable. She lets people like Steffy railroad her and she lets Ridge walk over her. She wants a man who calls her daughter a whore and a bitch.

It's Brooke, yes, but without any of the character traits that made her attractive and interesting. The traits which... even through Bradley's bad writing, could save the show many times. Gone are the twist and turns of the histrionics, gone are the sexcapades, gone is the determination to win over her adversaries, gone is the creativity in finding new paths for her career, gone is even the girlish humor that made her cute. The only thing left is her romantic-obsessive trait. But that has turned from exciting to pathetic. Because, sweetheart, it's 40 years later and the world has moved on. You are going to die an old bitter woman still clutching your lingerie, still begging Ridge to - "Pick me!". 

In this current state of the character, she is either incredibly stupid or a mentally ill woman that needs psychiatric help. I pick version 1, because it's obvious Bradley thinks this is normal. 

The next thing we'll see is Nick making moves on Brooke and Ridge turning away from Taylor. In a year Brooke and Ridge will be married or together again and the only conflict will be Steffy thinking that Brooke is a slut. 

THAT'S ALL.
