Perfect sense. There is a newfound Victoria-ish backbone to Katie, but there's a vulnerability. Victoria Newman would chew Brooke into small pieces and then spit her out. Katie is more focused on standing up for herself.

I also think Heather Tom is a natural successor to Susan Flannery/Stephanie Forrester. She comes across as a grown woman who can hold her own. It's refreshing from the years of Steffy propping, who is just a wannabe bossgirl throwing tantrums most of the time.

Yeah! There's a scene after the slap where Bill and Katie are talking and Katie has a...hmmm wittiness?...about her that I can't say I see Victoria doing though HT's Victoria definitely had wit which was a nice little tell for me in how Heather Tom played both. It's why I wrote that. I love that. I totally agree that HT's Victoria would have left Brooke a puddle on the floor AND would have slapped her right back. Katie was just standing up for herself.

I agree about that for Heather Tom. If Brad plays his cards right Brooke vs Katie could go on for a long while.

Don't underestimate Brooke. After all, she spent 25 years going toe to toe with Stephanie Forrester, who was every bit as formidable as Victoria Newman, if not more.

We haven't seen that Brooke for a long, long time.

^^

True, but hopefully she's still in there somewhere. 🤞

The old Brooke, yes. I don't recognize what Brad Bell has done to her character over the years. She only cares about Ridge now. The final straw for me was when Brooke just stood by and let Ridge talk about Hope like a stray dog. Brooke needs more layers again.

That chartreuse number is atrocious and does not fit the model at all. 😬 For a soap that's meant to be focusing on fashion... they lack considerable fashion sense. And WTF was that music?

Honestly, in watching the original seasons of Bold right now, Brooke seemed very smart in terms of brains. Yes, she allowed her feelings jade her views on some things, but she wasn't allowing a man to walk over her or control her. Now? She's a complete doormat.

I feel for Zende. He's constantly ignored and dismissed. If Bold really wanted to go there, he would question why he's not considered one of the favorites.

On a superficial note, Katie is looking good today. I love that leather skirt.
