THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL is a three time Emmy award-winning daytime drama set in Los Angeles that tells the compelling story of high fashion glamour, honor, romance, passion, and most importantly, family.
Despite his manly needs .. he truly loves Caroline. I think that’s his Jane and only true love . He married Brooke and Taylor but it’s not the same as your one true love .. rest in peace Caroline..💕
So tacky that the outsiders talk to Stephanie and Eric about a company they made. Brooke is the only one that deserves respect with the Forrester. Even Stephanie sees that.
Wow, it is just a tv show, that is why its called a soap opera, it is incredibly dumb to take it so seriously, there is more drama in the comments than there is - in the tv show, that is because you all sound like you think it is real, and it is acting at its worst, and it has the craziest storylines ever told
Brooke is = as dirty as Morgan! Brooke has illegal stock in Forrester Creations because Forrester Creations is owned by Mrs. Stephanie Douglas Forrester. Brooke, Ridge and his family are traveling out of town.
How did Brooke already know about Morgan being pregnant with Ridges baby ?? Did Stephanie,Ridge,or Taylor tell her ?! I mean it doesn’t make any sense that ANY of them would have spread this around ESPECIALLY to Brooke Right?
The voice over at the end was strange. Would have been fine for a series final where the show would not be continuing on. But this is a continuing story
So the blissful bride and groom wake up on the first day of their married life. Within 20 seconds, he’s talking about his mother and she’s grinning on about her brother-in-law/ex husband. Yeah, *this* marriage will last. On the plus side, having literally slept her way through the entire corporate leadership of Forrester (sans Stephanie), Brooke finally discovers the concept of separating work and personal life. How convenient! I’m not at all surprised that Brooke is totally callous about what Morgan did to Taylor (guess all of Taylor’s sympathy to her during the Thorne angst didn’t go very far). And as for “Stephanie and Ridge don’t have controlling stock in the company,” so their opinions don’t count? Wish they could hear her so they could see what their capitulation to Brooke bought them in goodwill. Between Brooke’s thinking of Ridge first thing in the AM and her total dismissiveness of the danger Morgan poses to Taylor, I wonder if the writers were already starting to queue up her next return to chasing Ridge.
Right. Brooke might have control of the company but she can't actually make Eric and Ridge design anything. They could refuse to work with Morgan and force Brooke's hand in firing her. Artists who are practically celebrities can't be bossed around like office or factory workers.
Sally is an angel but Stephanie is a misogynist and so very lugubriously narcissistic that she demeans and puts her down every time even though all Sally wanted is for them to at least relate as the oldest ladies in the show and as one human being with another. The soundness of Sally's advice may not be that disputable, but Stephanie is consumed by her misogynistic and narcissistic tendencies that she can't accept its logic. Well, Brooke Logan has Eric and last I checked, you SWORE on your children's and their children's lives that it will NEVER happen, yet it did and there is NOTHING that you can do 🙄🙄😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Can't believe Ridge, still calls her Logan, in front of his beautiful wife. !!! After the lovely sentiments Taylor expressed, Ridge could have at least have given her a kiss and a hug before leaving with dumb Logan ....which he could have discussed right there, arrogant of him Brooke is such a snake 🐍
Okay, Thorne has his sister Bridget there and his former sister-in-law, Kimberley. 😏Has there been any explanation why neither Kristen nor Felicia attended that wedding?
Ok, one more comment - I know I’m rambling a lot but there was a lot to mine in this episode 😂. I thought the choice of the garden as the setting for the wedding was an interesting one. It clearly wasn’t random, as even the minister mentions it in his invocation. It’s pretty clear that the Bells, at least at this time, were very comfortable with religion as a presence and a motif in the show. There are frequent references to God and miracles, the weddings are almost always religious, and then there was Taylor’s whole “almost an angel” experience after the birth of the twins. With minor exceptions, at least in the Old Testament (sorry, as a Jew that’s the only one I’m familiar with 😀), the most famous garden reference isn’t a positive one - it’s the Garden of Eden. While it may be Paradise, it’s most famous for being the place where the snake entices Eve to eat the forbidden fruit; she similarly leads Adam into sin; and they are thus punished not only with expulsion, but with a life of physical and emotional travail. In this episode, we see Brooke marrying the “forbidden fruit” stole away from Macy. But that alliance will ultimately bring both of them nothing but pain (and will be the lead-in to Brooke’s even greater sin, her affair with son-in-law Deacon). Of note, Adam and Even are expelled from the Garden of Eden in the evening - the same time of day this wedding takes place. Is this all a coincidence? Probably. But is this a way of the show telling us this fairy-tale wedding, conceived in treachery and deceit, will result in Brooke and Thorne’s expulsion from a state of happiness? Perhaps.
I enjoy reading your posts. BTW I thought it might have been quite funny if Deacon had showed up with baby Eric at the wedding for Amber (hey, Kimberly's there so why not lol), with Brooke and her daughter already starting to give him the eye lol
Christian allegory has indeed always been part of the Bell universe (it's true on Y&R too). Under Bill Bell's regime, I described Brooke marrying Eric as her "original sin" that prevented her from ever really having Ridge (notice how Bill kept thwarting them from being together and they only got married when his untalented son dismantled his story structure). And Annie and I have written about how the show uses "sacrifice" to redeem a character. And I echo Trish - I enjoy reading your posts! 🙂
Brooke apparently was one of the most popular girl names in 2000. This is the third twin set for Phoebe and Steffy Forrester, that has one twin named Brooke in real life. -) today: *Brooke* and Madison Dinsmore -) ep 3438: *Brooke* and Allison Johnston, *Brooke* and Taylor Toneman
Others have commented on the fairy tale-like quality of the wedding, and I agree. The happily-ever-after storyline; the goofy, happy smiles on everyone’s faces; the glowing, almost hazy lighting; the flower-filled garden; Brooke’s narration at the end - it was all like a dream. And it’s why I actually think the writers are messaging even through the purportedly joyful wedding that this isn’t going to last. This seems so dreamlike that I think even the writers are telling us that it *is* a dream of sorts in the B&B world. The fact that nearly all the characters are acting so out of character reinforces this theory. Think about it. With no warning and for no good reason, Stephanie suddenly supports the wedding; Kimberly is filled with goodwill for Brooke and Rick and doesn’t even think about Macy; Clarke has suddenly been suffused with goodwill and acceptance toward the Forresters; and freaking Darla tries to tell us that Macy would have *wanted* Brooke and Thorne to marry and for the Forresters to all accept it. How utterly ludicrous when we literally saw Macy die not long ago because, even though she could accept Thorne divorcing her, she couldn’t accept him throwing his life away on Brooke. For all these reasons I don’t actually think the writers even think we’re going to buy what they’re ostensibly selling. Brad gave them marching orders, but this episode was the most perfect example of malicious compliance that I ever saw. When you compare an episode like this with one like Macy’s funeral, you can see which was written with more conviction.
Absolutely Faye! I'd never seen this wedding before and watching it now, it really does seem like the show is signaling that it's all a dream. And they did that with her beach wedding to Ridge too - subtly suggesting that it wasn't built on a solid foundation with the sandcastle theme. And what do both of these weddings have in common? A deceased wife who isn't actually dead and whose return will nullify Brooke's marriage.
Comparing the picture in the picture frame at 5:57 with the one in episode 3438 2:40 , the show made the effort and photoshopped the twins. The curly ones got replaced with the ones with straight hair that they now used in today's episode.
It’s funny because when I watched the last episode, I thought “Stephanie shouldn’t be here - she should be at Sally’s drinking cocktails and predicting the downfall of Throoke with her.” And sure enough, Sally shows up in this episode and is as incredulous as I am about Stephanie’s capitulation to this farce. The writers may have tried to make Sally look like the lone holdout, the one in denial, but to me, her righteous pain and anger and frankly common sense made her the moral center of the show in this episode- something that was badly needed given Stephanie’s seemingly have abandoned the position.
I'm just glad someone mentioned Macy and what a disrespect this is to her. Brooke, in usual tacky fashion, took the time to go all the way up a mountain to bring divorce papers to Macy, at night... We're just gonna overlook that? 😕 Macy's unalivement to make way for Thorne and Brooke's relationship has been shamefully tossed away. It annoys me every time Brooke or Thorne talk about their obstacles, like that's all Macy was. And then there's Steph having had a literal stroke over Brooke and Thorne, now walking Brooke down the aisle. No. Way.
just love the queen of the Nile together with Zorro they are a wonderful couple they look so right together like they were made for each other perfect choice
Eric this is the right decision Stephanie is the only right woman for you you will only be happy with her and she does deserve to be happy again she waited for you for so long
Brooke wants to handle Morgan? Has anyone told Brooke that Morgan almost got Clarke killed by setting that python free at the Spectra office? Brooke will quickly lose Stephanie's acceptance again, if Brooke really wants to keep dangerous Morgan around.😏And the new husband, Thorne, might have an issue with that too, when he just assured that he has Ridge's back and won't let Morgan become trouble again for Ridge.
I think that would be beautiful also. I would have loved to see how Bridget and Rick get along with their younger siblings and nieces and nephews at the same time, as well as how they get along with their brother/stepdad. A picture perfect family
“After all these years the forresters and the Logan’s are leaving the last in the past” Brooke talks as if their families have been enemies for years. They didn’t have any problems or even notice they existed until Brooke and her siblings encouraged Beth to go after Steph’s husband, and then Brooke herself getting pregnant by him after rebounding from her engagement to his son. The Logan’s are the ones who started this “feud”
Exactly what I've been saying. They didn't have any "history" until the interlopers, the Logans, and specifically Brooke, decided they were entitled to be Forresters. The Logans were nobodies. The Spectras joining the Forresters by marriage was a better dynamic bc they actually had a history.
Taylor says Ridge cares little for her but she’s always the one to push him away and act so disinterested in him. Can’t they date first before she expects a marriage proposal??
Brooke's calling what happened between Taylor and Morgan "personal problems"? Anyway. Brooke's been calling Thorne being married to another woman, an "obstacle". And she's prob pretty impressed that Morgan was able to manipulate Ridge to get pregnant.
All I can say is yuk. Bell gave Brooke a happy wedding day. And, as we all know, it will go up in smoke soon. Brooke will get back on the Forester merry go round. 🤨
