That runway fantasy was a complete miss. We all know what's really going to happen when LOGAN's line debuts on the runway - Katie will have that long foreshadowed heart attack after she sees Brill in a compromising position - hopefully livestreamed with little to the imagination.

We're overdue for a Brooke scandal and the pieces are falling into place: LOGAN, dredging up Katie's resentment, showing those hot Brill flashbacks, the out-of-the-blue Xmas peace with Steffy, which opens the door to the next major piece: Ridge, with Steffy's blessing, hands Brooke the co-CEO position so he can focus exclusively on designing after Eric gives his new designs to Katie.

I just hope this develops over several months and not weeks.

I kind of like that the show is going for actual drama and storyline development. That said: besides the nightmare fantasy and the great acting of Heather Tom, the show did not enter 2026 overly exciting.

Seeing Josh Morrows son walking around shirtless on a soap with very greenish line delivery like his dad used to do 30 years ago is surreal, though. 🤪

If there’s any fans of Stranger Things on here, it looks like we figured out why Ms.Dylan looked familiar to some.

Sydney Bullock plays Dylan on The Bold and the Beautiful, but B&B fans may not know she also appeared on Netflix’s Stranger Things.

LOL Brad isn't gonna soil saint Brooke, cause yes he's turned her into a saint like Sheila, and have her go after Bill. This is the first time in over 5 years that anyone has mentioned her and Bill.

He's not gonna give Brooke a scandal either, she's an extension now of Ridge and nothing more. She's barely her own person. If Ridge says "JUMP" she says "HOW HIGH?"

Coming into January finally and...

I do like that we are entering 2026 with some new stories. It's been all about Luna for much too long. And I guess we know why we got a good amount of last month focused on the Spencers.

Excited for the Spencers vs the Forresters. And already Team Spencer (well Team Katie) because the entitlement pouring off of Ridge and Brooke was too much. I didn't like the silliness of Liam, Carter, and the trademark/copyright, but I do like and look forward to where this storyline is going.

And I'm just shaking my head at Homeless Dylan. I like we have a new girl around. But...homeless? And all the intrigue fell away when the story already took a turn to the preachy. Probably why Will had to do all of that shirtless. And if this is going to turn into Dylan goes Psycho...le sigh. You had one on canvas and ruined the character. So...NO PLEASE.

It’s gonna be Luna hahahaha

God can someone please do this to Brooke and Ridge, for the love of God please make them STFU

LMAO Steffy side eyeing Carter after Ridge told her the trademark expired. how does he still have a job? I just wish Steffy was allowed to drag him and her loser father

😂 That whole round table meeting in the office was hilarious. They did nothing but talk about how wrong Katie is to use HER OWN NAME and to say her fashion house will be a failure.

I mean, if that's the case, why worry about Katie at all?

-- Besides, FC isn't exactly professional and smart. They get rid of Katie's huge salary but still have to cut Deke, a promising designer?

-- Katie, please cut to the chase and ask Deke to join LOGAN. These episodes run under 20 minutes, and it would be nice if SOMETHING happened.

And neither Ridge/Steffy saying the obvious: this happened during the takeover by brother Carter + sl*t Hope, which Brooke 'went along' with.

Honestly, isn't there a part of Steffy that's glad that LOGAN is not a FC trademark?

The writing for Deke is appalling! I get kissing up to Katie, but being all understanding to his father? C'mon. There is no way any working class kid who was booted for a nepo wouldn't have a few choice words to say, especially since he's Deacon's son + the way the Forrester have always looked down on his father and sister. Deke would be completely justified in ripping them to his father privately.
