Eric and Brooke are terrible parents - what kind o torture is it to push your daughter to stay with a man who is in love with her mother. Above being gross it is just plain bad parenting and immoral. they act like it would be better for Bridget and her child would be better offf in a marriage with a man that will eventually cheat on her with her mother than for her to co-paret with this man and move on with her life.
Agreed. As ridiculous as the charade with Brooke and Eric was, no one was trying to normalize this crap they way they are with Liam’s crap. Bridget was able to be kind and forgiving but firm about what she expected in life. Was disappointed they had her encouraging her kid sister to settle when she never did.
I stopped watching after Queen Stephanie's death! Sometimes I read the episode recaps. It's all about incestuous relationships ,like always! So, Liam,Hope,Steffi are the new Brooke,Tay,Ridge? And this is really creative storytelling? Wtf!
It's amazing that people like Eric, Ridge or Brooke get upset all the time because Stephanie has interfered in their lives. They are not a bit better themselves, they are constantly mingling with their children's lives because they think they know better.
What’s really disgusting is that when Susan Flannery left the show they used it as a vehicle to hi light BrHooker, have her be the only one with Stephanie when she died. No family, no Eric… just TSFTV and then a kiss, an opening to her future affair with Bill her brother in law. What an insult to the viewers who followed the story between the human mattress and Stephanie from the beginning and an insult to Susan Flannery who deserved a more honest ending.
Rightly. Eric betrayed her all these years. And this marriage to Brooke was a slap in Stephanie's face, everything he said to her and now this ridiculous poster was an absolute provocation. He and Brooke deserved to end up face-down in the dirt.
Oh yes, the "poor" Eric was always an angel in this marriage, he never lied, cheated or embarrassed Stephanie. That poor old man is unfortunate, of course.
@@feuerwehrluetzen He almost was for putting up with that woman so long. Their children were grown men and women when his eyes wondered towards Brooke. They may have been good in the beginning but Stephanie became a cold and domineering wife showing Eric no affection but always running off to interfere in Ridges life. She's done plenty of lying and scheming so don't make her out to be any victim. In fact, she started the relationship with a lie probably telling Eric he was the only one to cause her pregnancy and to get him to marry her instead of Beth. Treat your significant other the way Stephanie treated Eric and see if they don't leave your behind too or put yourself in his shoes and ask yourself if you would stay if you were treated that way. And if you are on Quinn's side in this latest storyline then you're being hypocritical towards Eric because she couldn't take not being close to her husband for a couple months and then ended up in another man's bed. Eric took it for years before he cheated
@@treenzmj3699 It ALWAYS takes two to tango. Stephanie was by no means an easy person and certainly not a victim. She was far too confident for that. However, you also get bitter when you have to watch the man constantly chasing other skirts. And no, she wasn't like that in the beginning - Eric and her were a good team, she supported him unconditionally in the company. But then he started with other women, first Margot, then he tried it again with Beth, but she went back to Stephen and then with Brooke. I have no pity on him. If it was so terrible with Stephanie, he should have just left her. That goes for both sides. But Stephanie always loved him and fought with her means . She did NOT know then that the kid (Ridge) was not from Eric. It surprised her as much as Eric did. And hey, is a man better who obviously has a relationship with 2 women at the same time? He would never have stayed with Beth anyway because she had no money and he needed that from Stephanie's father to start the company. Neither of them are sacred here. Apart from that, I would show my husband where the bricklayer left a hole in the wall if he cheated on me for the first time.
@@feuerwehrluetzen Too "confident" to be a victim lol I'm just laughing at that statement anywho, she had no problems playing a victim when it suited her and you make her into a victim by saying ohhh he treated her so badly, she gave as good as she got with her verbal and emotional abuse towards him. Do you get married to spend your nights alone? When she was up at people's houses at ungodly hours when people were already dressed for bed where do you think Eric was? Home alone while she was out there minding Ridge's business and scheming and plotting. If she had push Eric on their mattress a couple times as hard as she used to push people around then he would not have gone anywhere. If it's so horrible for a man to neglect his wife, it is equally horrible for a wife to neglect her husband. Now I don't know the Margot story that was before my time but I can say I have heard Eric tell Stephanie exactly what he needed from her, to spend more time together as husband and wife, many times and to stop interfering in people's lives, she didn't care. So he got was he was looking for from someone else. We don't know if he would have left Beth so I'm not going to speculate because while he was married to Brooke and Quinn he didn't go cheating on them. In fact with Quinn he defended her again and again despite the whole family being against her. She was the one who cheated, he wouldn't have. As for not knowing the child was not Eric's, shes either a liar or illiterate, you pick because you can't sleep with two men and get pregnant and know for certain that either of them is the father unless you have a test, which they didn't back then so she had to have known it was possible. And I agree he should have left Stephanie, tell her to waddle over to Ridges house since he's the only person she cared about
@@treenzmj3699 So first of all I can say that I saw B&B from the beginning. The fact is that Stephanie was never a woman who lured her husband to bed. But you can say that she always supported him from the start. As a woman, I wouldn't just give myself to a man because HE needs it. Either they both want it or they don't. If both then agree to have a marriage in which the partners can look elsewhere for what they need, then that's ok. But this was never the case. Eric always looked behind other especially younger skirts. The fact that Stephanie acted so decisively and underhandedly only began later. It was the same at the time when Beth showed up, but she fought for her marriage because Brooke had done everything to ensure that her mother gets back together with Eric. Ruthless as she always was and she didn't care if Eric was married to Stephanie by now. She should have just stayed out of it. And on the subject of having children with 2 potential fathers: I think the same thing actually happened to Brooke with Bridget. Stephanie had also only slept with Massimo once. At that time it wasn't that easy either. So it was also the fear of having an illegitimate child. And she loved Eric very much even then. She could have been honest with him though, that's true.
I just can't wait to see Brooke's smug face when she realizes that Stephanie is sole owner of Forrester creations

I couldn’t agree more and I wish that Bridget would just be done with them both
Love these old episodes before the show became all about Hope/Liam/Steffy.
Me too. The show has lost its appeal. So many great characters that Brad fired. I miss them!

The Hope era was beyond boring!

Exactly. Narcissists flocking together
Nick has so much personality, really enjoyed his character at this stage.

Yes!!!! Strike for Stephanie!!!
Stephanie is going to do some damage with this news!
Rightly. Eric betrayed her all these years. And this marriage to Brooke was a slap in Stephanie's face, everything he said to her and now this ridiculous poster was an absolute provocation. He and Brooke deserved to end up face-down in the dirt.
I love the music at the end! Anticipation for what's coming
Honestly Bridget caused her own problems
Oh that look!!!
Gosh Nick was so cute!!!!
Poor Eric married Stephanie and has been paying for it every since
