If Ahmed was there, he could've taught Dylan and Maggie two more dance moves that all Middle Eastern and Indian people know: "pat the dog" and "change the lightbulb." 😂
The character Dylan is so smooth with the ladies. He is supposedly in love with Jessica but is sending love signals to other women. He is definitely no longer hoked on Jessica but looking elsewhere.
The ironic part is that Brooke doesn't _need_ to plot with Omar. Ridge is already leaning towards staying with her, as shown by him taking Brooke's side in the conversation with Stephanie just now.
*Stephanie:* "Brooke's using the children to stack the deck in her favor" (16:00) *Ridge:* "So you feel justified in playing your hand in Taylor's favor?" This exchange confirms what I've written about Stephanie trying to rebalance the scales of her feud with Brooke by taking Taylor's side again (see episode 2065). And it also returns to the poker-playing metaphor this show has used for plot control rivalries before, most notably Sheila and Lauren. In episode 1510, Sheila said, "I'm holding all the cards" in reference to the blackmail photo she had of Lauren and Brad which prevented Lauren from exposing her. And then in episode 1536, Lauren returned that line and "bluffed" by standing up at Sheila's wedding causing her to flee the chapel.
Yes! And it also highlights how this whole thing is a "game" that Brooke and Taylor are playing to win, and that Ridge is actually not a factor other than as the prize to be won. What becomes clear in the Brad🔔version of the triangle is that it's actually the _antithesis of romance_ - the competitive aspect so eclipses the romantic one that we get no sense that either _couple_ is worth rooting for, because Ridge doesn't seem willing to fight for either woman. He is perfectly content to let them fight over him (even leaving town while they do so, and half expecting them to have worked it out in his absence).
@@annieo6527 Great insight! We don't even get the kinds of romantic scenes between Ridge & Taylor (or even Ridge & Brooke) that we used to get under Bill Bell.
@@NewYorkNick0607 We did get a romantic scene between Ridge and Brooke after the press conference. Funny how Brooke has let Taylor get to her? Ridge’s reassuring words can’t keep Brooke from obsessing? While Ridge’s lack of assurance to Taylor isn’t discouraging to her confidence? 🤔 Taylor’s confidence being a sign that this is not going to go her way…common plot device? 😳
@@bettyhopsonI think you are right! This is a very common plot device on B&B - confident characters don't get their way, and characters who feel they might lose are pleasantly surprised. This may well be the prime reason for Brooke's and Taylor's respective attitudes - to set the stage for Ridge choosing Brooke in a way to give this choice maximum impact by having it be the opposite of what the characters themselves anticipated (however, we as viewers saw the signs).
Those are the obstacles to the lovers destined to be together.😂 Otherwise the show would end soon🥴. Isn't it romantic that they found their way once older and unappealing, is it?
Does Omar really think he can bully Taylor into staying with him? Even if it was decided their marriage was legal that doesn’t mean she couldn’t just get a divorce anyway. She’s told him to his face she doesn’t want him anymore so no matter what this verdict is he’s still not gonna get her.
Lark Voorhies makes me think of _Saved By the Bell,_ which makes me think of Mark Paul Gosselaar, who was just as hot as Dylan and just as "formative" for tween/teen me in the 90s! 😍
How undigified that a Prince will subject himself to cross exmination to keep a woman that doesnt love or want him🙄 i half expect him and Brooke to sing jennifer Hudsons song from dreamgirls "and Im telling you Im not going"
The reason Stephanie is trying to do something with the kids is because the children are why Ridge will ultimately choose Brooke. That's not my opinion. Ridge _himself confirmed in his own words_ that's why he chose Brooke.
I still don't follow Stephanie's reasoning though. Whether or not Taylor connects with the kids, and whether or not Ridge chooses Taylor, the children are still most likely going to be living primarily with Brooke. If he wants to _live_ with the kids, that's not going to happen if he chooses Taylor, regardless of the swimming lessons. Possibly a shared custody arrangement with Bridget only, but Little Eric would not be part of that agreement.
I think Steph’s reasoning is to show Ridge that the kids will be happy with Taylor. So he can feel free to be with Taylor without harming the children whom he has grown very close to. 😁 Problem is Steph is disregarding Ridge’s closeness to Brooke. 🙄
Ridge: "Why the hell are you doing this?" Steph: "Because I'm a vindictive old b!tch and my hatred for Brooke comes first and last. Over the children and family I claim to love so dearly".
Yes; she wants to pretend that she never knowingly married a prince while married to another man. She can’t just sweep under the rug. She needs to deal with. Just like she swept the orphans under the rug, only that doesn’t have legal ramifications (only breaks the hearts of children who didn’t deserve that).
I wonder if Ridge would show the same anger towards Brooke’s conniving with Taylor’s kidnapper as he does with his mother secretly allowing Taylor to have a good time with the children.
Ugh🙄Prince Ghoul, trial judgement in your favor or otherwise, you continue to overlook the FACT:: Taylor does NOT want you!! I'm honestly surprised he hasn't resorted to kidnapping her!
Funny enough when he was talking with Ahmed in a previous episode he asked Omar what happens if she doesn’t want to come back would you force her and he says something along the lines of “not unless I have to”
Jasmine is another character who had potential, but went nowhere. Bell has the tendency to dispose of the teenage/twenty something characters relatively quickly. It's as if he essentially adds them to the cast to target a specific demographic, without giving much thought to who the character actually is, as well as their long-term trajectory. Without the substance behind them, these characters end up being redundant. This tends to happen with the legacy characters too.
Same thing with Claudia coming up too. And what a terrible look to finally have a cast of color (Michael, Jasmine, Claudia) and then do _nothing_ with them.
@@NewYorkNick0607 And all the characters of colour. The amount of POC that have come in and out so rapidly, is insane. It's a case of "let's bring in a person of color to attract a particular racial demographic". The character has no purpose beyond being part of a box ticking exercise. When the box is ticked and the storyline is over, they're gone. If a person of color lasts more than a year on the show it's a victory.
@@leviaj1That’s so true. And it’s such a sharp contrast to Y&R which has POC in front burner storylines for years. We’re supposed to believe that Genoa City, Wisconsin is more diverse than LA?
I don’t know why we have to watch one a day these are old we should be able to watch it consistently one after the other I don’t understand why we’re watching one at a time one every single day come on people this is the millennium let us watch the rest of them as many times as we want to know one a day my goodness
When Brooke just changed the name of her biography again to _The Last Eight Years,_ I realized that this actually works as a way to mark the passage of time on the show. As long as these years correspond to the number of years the show has been on the air, there has been no cor rup tion of the timeline through SORASed kids. We are now approaching the very _last_ episodes in the show's history where it has a consistent timeline. Soon the children will be aged and from then on it's a mess.
That's because Bridge "marriage" had to be longer than the Tridge one 😂. If they had left children with the right years it would have been too easy for Bridget to recover from her daddy's loss.
After watching Brooke with Omar…this storyline is going off the rails anyway. Omar is delusional…Taylor obviously doesn’t love him. Brooke can’t seem to understand that Taylor doesn’t love Omar either? This is such a farce…Brooke going to Omar who is helpless himself? Hope Brooke can find her equilibrium at some point…she acts like she has zero confidence that Ridge will stay with her? 🥴 Meanwhile Ridge is playing sideline Observer…🤷♀️LOL
You're right that the big timeline break is coming with the SORASed kids but there have been little time lapses before. Progressions of day and night that don't sync up between characters and scenes, the question of Ridge's age and whether he and Brooke were in high school at the same time, and recently Taylor referenced all the "Christmases" she spent with the Forresters (when she only really had one Christmas with them).
@@NewYorkNick0607 you are right about the minor time lapses (especially when there are long soap days and then it's the "next day" and suddenly it's been several days).
I think its time that Brooke express some gratitude to Ho-mar and give him something to hold on to. Its becoming of her. Beside that, we need the kicks.
Ridge is upset and accuses his mother because she has hard time to forgive Brooke about her marriage with Eric or about Brooke not willing to give up the FC stocks. And he knows she is keeping the stocks as warranty if Ridge would leave her for Taylor. He is so lenient with Brooke's faults. And shows also the weight Stephanie has in his life decisions = 0
I don't know why everyone always wants Stephanie to forget what happened and forgives Brooke everything. They always accusing Stephanie of being vindictive and manipulative, but Brooke is doing too and even more and its than fine with them. And what Stephanie did it wasn't right, but not vindictive or mean. And excatly, rigde has always done and chose who and what he wanted regardless of Stephanie's opinion or wants. The same goes for Eric.
Omar might have taken over some duties/responsibilities, but Omar can't be the *ruler* if he is still _prince_ Omar and not _king_ Omar. I don''t remember Omar's parents as guests at the wedding. They definitely have not been introduced to princes Layla, their _daughter-in-law_ . And even in 2005, when the character returns, I think Omar was still just _prince_ and not _king_
@@greggel If it is a microstate like Monaco (about 39 000 residents) and so a princedom/ principality, then yes, a prince can be the ruler. Monaco is one of the last three principalities (Andorra, Monaco, Liechtenstein). But unlike the second tiniest state of the word, Morocco has 37 million citizens, so the *ruler* carries the title *king* . B&B during the last years (real time) definitely had a strong connection to Monaco - Prince Albert II even featured - but not here in the episodes we comment about, or has there been already a connection?
Brooke always finds alliance with creepy old men obsessed by Taylor. She doesn't care at all. Ridge doesn't know how much time she spent plotting with Blake.
But Rigde, Brooke is to blame for all of it what you just mentioned. Brooke (and ofc the loser Eryuck) are to blame for those things. They did it. And so, even if Stephanie hates Brooke (what i don't think she does yet), than Stephanie has absolute valid reasons to do so. Stephanie's feelings towards Brooke are justified, reasonable and understandable.
While I agree that it might matter how Omar says his testimony, the more issue is the testimony in itself. Even if he calmly speaks his case, it doesn't change that Omar married a woman he knew was married to someone already. It won't change that he has kept her captive, even when she later was willing to become his wife.
Well Ridge is right about that, Stephanie did put the children in the midst of this mess. It seems to me she is the one using the children and Taylor went along with her knowing at first it was wrong. 🤦♀️
Ridge was right about alot of things he said today to Steph. 😊 Wonder if Steph realized her little plan backfired? She tried her best to turn it around as a Positive move. But Ridge didn’t seem to be buying it. Ridge appears even more sympathetic to Brooke’s side now. 😄
Ridge is in the wrong in this storyline .He doesn’t say who he wants ,but while he’s ‘ deciding’ I’m sure he is still sleeping with Brooke. At least Taylor isn’t going home to Omar,and she already told that obsessed freak she doesn’t want him!
"She is protecting herself" And what's wrong with that Stephanie? Didn't you protect YOURSELF doing whatever possible and questionable to keep your marriage twice?? With children way beyond adults. Who were you protecting? The neighbor?
But she was indeed legally married to Eric where she was the only wife, which Brooke isn't. Rigde's wife isn't dead and Brooke isn't the legal wife. Stephanie is seeing Taylor as the legal wife of her son and someone Brooke's brats could actually benefit from. And Rigde isn't even the father of those kids. And Stephanie children were Eric's (I don't care about the stupid rewrite of bell jr). And there is nothing wrong to protect yourself and your family. Stephanie did do it, but not successful, thanks to Brooke. Stephanie owes Brooke nothing, not even the slightest bit respect or acceptance. Brooke never respect any marriage or family. You have no problem with Brooke's actions so far. Stephanie has taken for 8 long dusty destiny years note out of Brookehoe's playbook of manipulation, lies, betrayal, selfish, narcisstic and opportunstic behavoir. I guess Brooke were a good teacher for Stephanie in all of it. What Brooke is allowed to do, Stephanie is allowed to do too. I guess Stephanie doesn't have to respect Brooke's anything. Stephanie is leveling down to Brooke's, erics and rigde's low behaviors/levels. Why should she be the only one with higher Standards. No reason to respect Brooke, Brooke hasn't done it so far. Eric needs to take care of his kids with the family matress.
@@andream5998 I don't expect any support from Stephanie to Brooke, it is never genuine, just judging Stephanie who accuses Brooke of being selfish when Stephanie is the top selfish person. The only time Stephanie did something selfless that I remember was to take the blame for Thorne shooting Ridge. And even then, one night in jail and she told Eric she can't take this any longer, because she expected they'd rule it an accident immediately and let her go. Even on the day of Caroline's funeral, she was thinking of how to use this death to get Eric back. She is no doubt a worse person than Brooke. Perhaps Brooke has more s e x *because that is apparently a crime when Brooke does it) but that is because Stephanie lost her interest in that ages ago.
@@andream5998 I couldn't read the whole of your message, because it doesn't appear here, but from what I read you wrote Stephanie never gets genuine support from Brooke. Next time this will happen, will be at the mental hospital Stephanie will be in, and Brooke will go and take pictures her children made to cheer Stephanie up and help her come out of it. I think that was genuine. And this means a lot more, because Stephanie had thrown Brooke in jail not long before that. She could have said "the heck with Stephanie, let her rot in there" but she didn't because she has a good heart.
@@marn25Someone with a good heart doesn't do everything Brooke has done because if she did she would be able to show compassion for Taylor and she hasn't, not once. She also wouldn't have gotten involved with a married man nor would she be able to sleep with her husbands son. She wouldn't use her children to get or keep a man. She wouldn't have tried to break up Ridge and Taylor over and over again. If she really loved Ridge she would have been happy that he was happy even if it meant she couldn't be with him. She wouldn't have married a man who is in the throws of severe grief. She wouldn't have abandoned her son over and over again when she couldn't get Ridge back. I mean she left him when she found out that Eric might be the father of Bridget and she left him on Christmas while she was 9 months pregnant because she couldn't get Ridge back. She wouldn't have taken control of Forrester Creations all because she couldn't take Ridge away from his wife. She wouldn't team up with a man who kidnapped a defenseless woman, physiological tortured her and brainwashed her into an unlawful marriage. She has been told by both Conner, Ridge, James and Taylor and yet she refuses to show not only any kindness but she gets angry at anyone who points that out. Except Ridge because she can't show that side to him. This is just the clif notes of what she has done so far and I haven't even mentioned all the horrible stuff she does in the future. Brooke is incapable of being selfless. She has never sacrificed anything for anyone even the people she claims she loves. Even when she helps Stephanie there is a selfish motive behind it. She does it because she wants Stephanie's approval and admiration. Plus having Stephanie on her side benefits her when it comes to Ridge. Brooke is a narcissist and she is incapable of kindness, compassion, empathy, true love and selflessness.
Fan fiction: Omar and Brooke kiss passionately to seal their alliance, then they take their passion further. Brooke gets pregnant with Omar’s baby, per usual. She insists the baby is Ridge’s, per usual. And, as a good soap storyline goes, the truth is eventually revealed. Taylor and Ridge reunite. Brooke becomes a princess and goes to Morocco to help Omar run his Kingdom using her CEO skills. Taylor and Ridge live happily ever after. 😍
If all that happened, the show would have to be mostly set in Morocco, because Princess Brooke Rashid (and later Queen, not sure yet if through Omar becoming king or his father) is not going anywhere.
Thank goodness for the viewers, Cridge Tridge and Bridge fell in love under the senior, in different ways of course. Because it is awful how his son builds up relationships and breaks up. One moment Dylan risks the jail for Jessic🥱, and now he is dating a stranger while happy with Jessic🥱. Michael is interested in Dylan and even if they shared good scenes, there was nothing that showed any kind of attraction.
I wonder whether Jasmine is related to the Logans? Her boyfriend-swiping advice seems to be coming from the Logan handbook. Maybe Stephen Logan had a fling before he skipped town.
Of course he justified Brooke. This time Brooke is right. But let's be honest, he has always forgiven her and she made his life miserable when she hid Caroline's letter, or Thomas paternity.
@@babs4848 But was she forgiven when those things happened? He stopped sleeping with her when he found out about the letter, and I think Brooke moved out of the mansion shortly after. Her marriage was annulled almost immediately when he found out he knew she hid Thomas' paternity and she lost Ridge for many years after that. Of course eventually she will be forgiven, that applies to everyone in the whole scope of the show. Even for example Ridge who divorced Taylor when he found out about James. They were engaged again a couple more times after that. It may not have worked out in the end, but still if they were engaged it means Taylor was eventually forgiven by then. That also applies to Stephanie's deeds. Sometimes her whole family may be against her but eventually they become close again,
@@marn25Tridge was a couple in the 90's till her death in 2002. Then the writer would mock Tridge fans with their fake relationship, because we saw them in the 90's.
@@babs4848 Well they way you put it for me, I can't disagree with you that they mocked Tridge as a couple and their fans after 2005. It would have been better for Taylor to give up on Ridge and never look back (she tried it) and I wished the same for Brooke.
Now I've watched 2074 episodes, watching several episodes every day. Bold and the Beautiful - 1995 (S8 E323) FULL EPISODE 2074 These episodes are from 1995. Why do I have to wait for a new episode every day here on RUclips? Since they are from 1995, I will never finish the entire series as long as I live with only one episode per day.
Yesterday everyone was....oh Taylor is manipulative, Brooke is rite....y is no one commenting bout Brooke's behavior now !! Taylor doesn't do anything wrong, still she's crucified. Brooke is actually scheming but GOD FORBID someone holds her accountable. Dumb 🔔 Jr's 🤬🤬
*Brooke resisting the archetype change* Today is a perfect example of what *Nick* has been saying about how Brooke's character _resists_ the change in the writing which puts her in Taylor's former position. In one scene, we have Ridge taking Brooke's side against his mother - a clear indication that Brooke holds the better cards in this game and will ultimately win (to use Nick's poker metaphor). And yet in a parallel scene, Brooke is scheming with Omar as if she was playing a losing game and had to ch e at in order to win. It's as if Brooke is so used to having to scheme to get what she wants, that she doesn't actually recognize the signs that she is about to win "fair". She could be a graceful and "Good" winner here, but she can't help plotting to help destiny along, tainting what could otherwise have been an "earned" victory. Taylor, on the other hand, is playing all the "wrong cards". She is repeating steps that she _saw Brooke take, unsuccessfully,_ back in 1993 (telling Ridge that they would be together), instead of using methods that actually _worked_ for Taylor in the past (allowing Ridge to chase _her)._ She is supposed to step into Brooke's archetype but does it half-heartedly, without Brooke's obses sive drive.
You make alot of valid points here. Brooke being obsessive when she’s loosing or winning? And Taylor suddenly being confident about Ridge…when she was his wife she always worried that Brooke was still a factor? Now that Taylor has been away from her marriage 10mons she can only remember the wine and roses? If Ridge were to choose her…she’d still be dealing with the insecurity that Ridge brings to the relationship because of Brooke always being a part of his life. 😃
I get that Brooke might feel more and more insecure and in need for an ally. But she would have better luck to ask Omar's necklace (that charm) for support. Brooke just listens to Omar talking about his love for Taylor (when Taylor is not in love with Omar) and thinks that this will be enough to influence her marriage case and his? Didn't Ridge tell Brooke about the time before that marriage and how Omar has held Taylor captive and manipulated Taylor? We had Stephanie's and Taylor's secret scheme with the lessons, that has backfired a bit but still has served a bit the purpose (proved to Ridge that the kids would get along with Taylor). Then we have Brooke's and Omar's scheming, they promising to do whatever they can and fight their (futile) cases at court because people in love don't deserve to get punished and their secret power is that they are both convincing public speakers ?
Good examples (and thanks for the shoutout)! I would guess this resistance is partly a result of a tension in the writing between Brad Bell's vision and the leftovers writers from Bill Bell's regime who are used to writing the characters a certain way, and partly because KKL herself is used to playing Brooke as competitive/insecure. I even think Hunter Tylo's performance plays into this as well. She doesn't have the same dignified composure as before, but there are still times in their scenes when Taylor projects a kind of superiority, where it feels like she's looking down on Brooke, and KKL of course is reacting to that dynamic as well.
@@NewYorkNick0607 I think that you described the character traits of Brooke and Taylor pretty well. Brooke as competitive and insecure…Taylor more grounded and superior acting. Although, Brooke’s tactics have caused Taylor to loose her composure a few times. Right now Taylor appears to have the upper hand with her superior attitude towards Brooke who is operating in full blown insecurity mode. 🥴
yes Brooke she desreves to be punished for all the bad things she did for trying to break Taylor's marriage to Ridge fot for breaking Eric and Stephanie's marriage for using a technicallity to steal Forrester creations, for lieing to Ridge about his wife being alive for using the children to manipulate and stay with a man who is obviously is inlove with another woman if anyone should be punished for their evil actions it is Brooke and with God's will she will be punished
She will never see it as him kidnapping her because that then makes Taylor a victim of manipulation…and we know Brooke is the only one that can be seen as a victim 😂
If the court decides we aren’t legally married are you going back to Taylor? Brooke needs to ask this question ,but she won’t because after all it’s just a soap!
I guess I'll be back to this page in a month or so. Im just ready for the Court hearing and for ridge to choose who he will be with, although I already know who it is
Come to think of it except Stephanie all mommas on the show past and present have dated one same guy at least with their daughters... sickly I must admit
@@francoisekoko6068 Did she? I wonder how long after the kiss started, But I'll take your word for it that she pushed him back. Before that it's anyone's guess, how well she knew him.
A pity that Ivana isn't around anymore. I would have liked to see her reaction if she would see Dylan giving Maggie dancing lessons and Ivana finding out that Dylan might now fall for a 35 year old woman, *_a farm girl_* .
Dylan says to Maggie that he knows a free spirit when he sees one. My wife Barbara was certainly a free spirit in that scene in Fraternity Vacation.
Dylan jokes that he is an undercover agent to welcome beautiful woman. My wife Barbara was kind of like an undercover agent (although there was hardly any cover literally involved) for that scene in Fraternity Vacation. If had gotten Dylan's approach with Maggie when it came to a woman I was wooing in 2001 I would be with that woman right now. Ironically it would meant that I would spent so much time with my wives Barbara and Kathleen in Fraternity Vacation. Dylan says to Maggie, "What do you say?" I say to my wife Barbara that I love her very much and I always will. Matthew See Barbara Crampton and Kathleen Kinmont's Chinese Husband

I would have been far more pissed off if I were riidge and told Stephanie to mind her own damn business. My God doesn’t that woman have a life. It’s her life sticking her nose into her kids business.
Rigde is like daddy Hoegan a forever lowgan puppy dog. The sftv and her dusty lusty destiny trash prince can go an leave town and go right to their trashy Sunset together. Stephanie hasn't done anything to Brooke so far and this swimming lessons arrangement aren't might not done propably by Stephanie, but its stupid to say it was vindictive. It wasn't very nice of her, but her intentions weren't wrong. They are actually good. Why shouldn't the children see Taylor. It isn't as bad, as brooke is making it. There was no maniplution of the children or turning them against their mother. Brooke is the one who is constantly putting the children in the middle of this and using them as reasons why Taylor needs to leave. And Brooke has surely deserved Stephanie's dislike and hatred of her. But ofc Rigde and Eric always justify everything the favorite forrester matress is doing and let her get away everything. They never give Stephanie a break and hold her to higher standard than Brooke.
While I wonder that there will be two different hearings/ cases - If the TRIDGE marriage is considered to be the valid one, why would Taylor and Omar still need an annulment hearing? - I can't really watch Omar and Brooke. Their talk is so nonsensical (as if *love* is the basis for judges to rule by).
It was nonsensical…Omar has no power. He can’t force something that isn’t there? Omar has lost his leverage….Taylor wanting Ridge’s happiness with Brooke and his family. Taylor has changed course…I don’t think Brooke realized the former deal between Taylor and Omar? 😮
@@bettyhopson I assume we have the usual soap element of miscommunication. Does Brooke not know that that marriage never has been consummated?

Brooke is so confident and secure in her marriage. That's why she's plotting and scheming with Omar.
It’s unimaginable that Taylor would do and say the same things as Brooke if their roles were reversed.
Deviousness is in Brooke’s DNA.
I wonder if Ridge will know that Brooke met with Omar to device a plan to win their course.
The ironic part is that Brooke doesn't _need_ to plot with Omar. Ridge is already leaning towards staying with her, as shown by him taking Brooke's side in the conversation with Stephanie just now.
Yes he will...for the sake of the children...as he aptly puts it😅
Good old insecure Brooke😂👍
If Brooke's hair was still red, she'd look like Dimitri from the animated film _Anastasia._ Omar's a dead ringer for Rasputin.

Thank God they soften the cut and have her go back to blonde soon enough.
*Stephanie:* "Brooke's using the children to stack the deck in her favor" (16:00)
*Ridge:* "So you feel justified in playing your hand in Taylor's favor?"
This exchange confirms what I've written about Stephanie trying to rebalance the scales of her feud with Brooke by taking Taylor's side again (see episode 2065). And it also returns to the poker-playing metaphor this show has used for plot control rivalries before, most notably Sheila and Lauren. In episode 1510, Sheila said, "I'm holding all the cards" in reference to the blackmail photo she had of Lauren and Brad which prevented Lauren from exposing her. And then in episode 1536, Lauren returned that line and "bluffed" by standing up at Sheila's wedding causing her to flee the chapel.
Yes! And it also highlights how this whole thing is a "game" that Brooke and Taylor are playing to win, and that Ridge is actually not a factor other than as the prize to be won.
What becomes clear in the Brad🔔version of the triangle is that it's actually the _antithesis of romance_ - the competitive aspect so eclipses the romantic one that we get no sense that either _couple_ is worth rooting for, because Ridge doesn't seem willing to fight for either woman. He is perfectly content to let them fight over him (even leaving town while they do so, and half expecting them to have worked it out in his absence).

Taylor’s confidence being a sign that this is not going to go her way…common plot device? 😳
@@bettyhopsonI think you are right! This is a very common plot device on B&B - confident characters don't get their way, and characters who feel they might lose are pleasantly surprised.

Does Omar really think he can bully Taylor into staying with him? Even if it was decided their marriage was legal that doesn’t mean she couldn’t just get a divorce anyway. She’s told him to his face she doesn’t want him anymore so no matter what this verdict is he’s still not gonna get her.
Some people just cant accept defeat
I hope they upload seasons 11-18 too. I love watching these old episodes. 💗
Ridge Is finally Saying something that makes sense.
Lark Voorhies makes me think of _Saved By the Bell,_ which makes me think of Mark Paul Gosselaar, who was just as hot as Dylan and just as "formative" for tween/teen me in the 90s! 😍
How undigified that a Prince will subject himself to cross exmination to keep a woman that doesnt love or want him🙄 i half expect him and Brooke to sing jennifer Hudsons song from dreamgirls "and Im telling you Im not going"
Seriously can you imagine any of the Windsors doing this? They'd rather die LOL.
Stop dancing Dylan you just went from a 10 to a 9 😂
I find Omar just as exhausting as Brooke. What a match made in heaven😅
Seriously! I don't like to comment on looks, but these two are really well matched.
Brooke will be the BEST in the harem !!! lol..
They would have been great together 😂

😂😂😂😂😂
Brooke and Omar look at each other and see themselves.
100%.
They could be each other’s destiny. 🤩
Thanks for the upload !! Dylan moves faster than Marcus Allen !!😂😂
The reason Stephanie is trying to do something with the kids is because the children are why Ridge will ultimately choose Brooke. That's not my opinion. Ridge _himself confirmed in his own words_ that's why he chose Brooke.
And they're exactly what Brooke and Omar are counting on.
And the children are not Ridge’s!!
I still don't follow Stephanie's reasoning though. Whether or not Taylor connects with the kids, and whether or not Ridge chooses Taylor, the children are still most likely going to be living primarily with Brooke. If he wants to _live_ with the kids, that's not going to happen if he chooses Taylor, regardless of the swimming lessons. Possibly a shared custody arrangement with Bridget only, but Little Eric would not be part of that agreement.
I think Steph’s reasoning is to show Ridge that the kids will be happy with Taylor. So he can feel free to be with Taylor without harming the children whom he has grown very close to. 😁
Problem is Steph is disregarding Ridge’s closeness to Brooke. 🙄
Stephanie is always right
RIDGE asked STEPHANIE “what are you doing here?” 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Where is Omar's father if he is a prince who will become a king!
The (real) monarch of Morocco lives in Rabat
Ridge: "Why the hell are you doing this?"
Steph: "Because I'm a vindictive old b!tch and my hatred for Brooke comes first and last. Over the children and family I claim to love so dearly".
And she would also say …”It takes my mind off of what’s his name 🤔..Oh Thorne”
@@-Lily7415the Ridge responds “Thorne who!?”

the bottom line taylor doesnt want nor love omar. she wants her life back.
Yes; she wants to pretend that she never knowingly married a prince while married to another man. She can’t just sweep under the rug. She needs to deal with. Just like she swept the orphans under the rug, only that doesn’t have legal ramifications (only breaks the hearts of children who didn’t deserve that).
and she will get it back
Some people on here don't get that bottom line...😂🙈
@@scor66 well I do get that. Taylor does NOT want Omar. She wants her old life back with Ridge and that is her focus now. We agree scor66 smile 😊

😂😂 🙌
😂😂

😂😅❤
And Brooke is too busy plotting to realize that she actually has the _advantage_ and doesn't _need_ to scheme.
I wonder if Ridge would show the same anger towards Brooke’s conniving with Taylor’s kidnapper as he does with his mother secretly allowing Taylor to have a good time with the children.
Ugh🙄Prince Ghoul, trial judgement in your favor or otherwise, you continue to overlook the FACT:: Taylor does NOT want you!! I'm honestly surprised he hasn't resorted to kidnapping her!
Funny enough when he was talking with Ahmed in a previous episode he asked Omar what happens if she doesn’t want to come back would you force her and he says something along the lines of “not unless I have to”
If he does that it's game over for Brooke. Ridge would rush to rescue her in a minute.
Jasmine is another character who had potential, but went nowhere. Bell has the tendency to dispose of the teenage/twenty something characters relatively quickly. It's as if he essentially adds them to the cast to target a specific demographic, without giving much thought to who the character actually is, as well as their long-term trajectory. Without the substance behind them, these characters end up being redundant. This tends to happen with the legacy characters too.
Same thing with Claudia coming up too. And what a terrible look to finally have a cast of color (Michael, Jasmine, Claudia) and then do _nothing_ with them.
@@NewYorkNick0607 And all the characters of colour. The amount of POC that have come in and out so rapidly, is insane. It's a case of "let's bring in a person of color to attract a particular racial demographic". The character has no purpose beyond being part of a box ticking exercise. When the box is ticked and the storyline is over, they're gone. If a person of color lasts more than a year on the show it's a victory.
@@leviaj1That’s so true. And it’s such a sharp contrast to Y&R which has POC in front burner storylines for years. We’re supposed to believe that Genoa City, Wisconsin is more diverse than LA?
I liked the whole Jasmine/Jessie/Dylan/Michael group. Wish they stayed longer.
I don’t know why we have to watch one a day these are old we should be able to watch it consistently one after the other I don’t understand why we’re watching one at a time one every single day come on people this is the millennium let us watch the rest of them as many times as we want to know one a day my goodness
When Brooke just changed the name of her biography again to _The Last Eight Years,_ I realized that this actually works as a way to mark the passage of time on the show. As long as these years correspond to the number of years the show has been on the air, there has been no cor rup tion of the timeline through SORASed kids. We are now approaching the very _last_ episodes in the show's history where it has a consistent timeline. Soon the children will be aged and from then on it's a mess.
That's because Bridge "marriage" had to be longer than the Tridge one 😂. If they had left children with the right years it would have been too easy for Bridget to recover from her daddy's loss.
After watching Brooke with Omar…this storyline is going off the rails anyway. Omar is delusional…Taylor obviously doesn’t love him. Brooke can’t seem to understand that Taylor doesn’t love Omar either? This is such a farce…Brooke going to Omar who is helpless himself?
Hope Brooke can find her equilibrium at some point…she acts like she has zero confidence that Ridge will stay with her? 🥴
Meanwhile Ridge is playing sideline Observer…🤷♀️LOL
You're right that the big timeline break is coming with the SORASed kids but there have been little time lapses before. Progressions of day and night that don't sync up between characters and scenes, the question of Ridge's age and whether he and Brooke were in high school at the same time, and recently Taylor referenced all the "Christmases" she spent with the Forresters (when she only really had one Christmas with them).
@@NewYorkNick0607 you are right about the minor time lapses (especially when there are long soap days and then it's the "next day" and suddenly it's been several days).
@@NewYorkNick0607 They state many times that Ridge and Taylor were married for 3 years so yes she could have had multiple Christmases together.

Ridge is upset and accuses his mother because she has hard time to forgive Brooke about her marriage with Eric or about Brooke not willing to give up the FC stocks. And he knows she is keeping the stocks as warranty if Ridge would leave her for Taylor.
He is so lenient with Brooke's faults. And shows also the weight Stephanie has in his life decisions = 0
I don't know why everyone always wants Stephanie to forget what happened and forgives Brooke everything.
They always accusing Stephanie of being vindictive and manipulative, but Brooke is doing too and even more and its than fine with them. And what Stephanie did it wasn't right, but not vindictive or mean.
And excatly, rigde has always done and chose who and what he wanted regardless of Stephanie's opinion or wants. The same goes for Eric.
@@andream5998Exactly. Ridge is such a jerk. If anyone, Brooke should be upset at his indecisiveness!
I never understood how Eric or Ridge could be so forgiving of Brooke for taking their company!
It’s hard to believe that Maggie was married to a Forester and has not developed ANY sophistication. Her inexperience and naïveté is over the top.
I don't think John Forrester was rich!
Probably because sophistication among Eric Forrester family comes from Stephanie 😉
True. Eric probably dropped his farm boy ways when he married Stephanie.
Eric didn't come from money. His father was a tailor.
Yes the money came from Stephanie's family the Douglas's!
I'm surprised Brooke didn't throw herself at Omar considering she's so envious of Taylor.
She does love that pendant!😂
Why would she go after Omar when she is love with Ridge?
so Omar's parents are stil alive? What does he mean he will someday be king? Isnt he already the ruler of Morocco?
Omar might have taken over some duties/responsibilities, but Omar can't be the *ruler* if he is still _prince_ Omar and not _king_ Omar. I don''t remember Omar's parents as guests at the wedding. They definitely have not been introduced to princes Layla, their _daughter-in-law_ .
And even in 2005, when the character returns, I think Omar was still just _prince_ and not _king_
@@mara4450 yes a prince can be a ruler... Monaco for example only has prince
@@greggel If it is a microstate like Monaco (about 39 000 residents) and so a princedom/ principality, then yes, a prince can be the ruler. Monaco is one of the last three principalities (Andorra, Monaco, Liechtenstein). But unlike the second tiniest state of the word, Morocco has 37 million citizens, so the *ruler* carries the title *king* .
B&B during the last years (real time) definitely had a strong connection to Monaco - Prince Albert II even featured - but not here in the episodes we comment about, or has there been already a connection?
If I am not wrong, Omar has mentioned his father as king. I assume the king lives in Rabat, the capital. Omar lives in Casablanca, another city.

But Rigde, Brooke is to blame for all of it what you just mentioned. Brooke (and ofc the loser Eryuck) are to blame for those things. They did it.
And so, even if Stephanie hates Brooke (what i don't think she does yet), than Stephanie has absolute valid reasons to do so. Stephanie's feelings towards Brooke are justified, reasonable and understandable.
i think so too
I forgot ole saved by the bell played on this I must have been working because honestly I don't remember getting to watch this time period...😮
While I agree that it might matter how Omar says his testimony, the more issue is the testimony in itself. Even if he calmly speaks his case, it doesn't change that Omar married a woman he knew was married to someone already. It won't change that he has kept her captive, even when she later was willing to become his wife.
Brooke and Omar are both equally awful. Look s wise and character wise.
true😂👍
yes when bad people come together all the negative traits arise
Stephanie has a knack of doing something that ruins chances of getting company back ...
Well Ridge is right about that, Stephanie did put the children in the midst of this mess. It seems to me she is the one using the children and Taylor went along with her knowing at first it was wrong. 🤦♀️
Ridge was right about alot of things he said today to Steph. 😊
Wonder if Steph realized her little plan backfired? She tried her best to turn it around as a Positive move. But Ridge didn’t seem to be buying it. Ridge appears even more sympathetic to Brooke’s side now. 😄

Ridge is in the wrong in this storyline .He doesn’t say who he wants ,but while he’s ‘ deciding’ I’m sure he is still sleeping with Brooke.

"She is protecting herself" And what's wrong with that Stephanie? Didn't you protect YOURSELF doing whatever possible and questionable to keep your marriage twice?? With children way beyond adults. Who were you protecting? The neighbor?
But she was indeed legally married to Eric where she was the only wife, which Brooke isn't. Rigde's wife isn't dead and Brooke isn't the legal wife. Stephanie is seeing Taylor as the legal wife of her son and someone Brooke's brats could actually benefit from. And Rigde isn't even the father of those kids. And Stephanie children were Eric's (I don't care about the stupid rewrite of bell jr).
And there is nothing wrong to protect yourself and your family. Stephanie did do it, but not successful, thanks to Brooke. Stephanie owes Brooke nothing, not even the slightest bit respect or acceptance.
Brooke never respect any marriage or family. You have no problem with Brooke's actions so far. Stephanie has taken for 8 long dusty destiny years note out of Brookehoe's playbook of manipulation, lies, betrayal, selfish, narcisstic and opportunstic behavoir. I guess Brooke were a good teacher for Stephanie in all of it. What Brooke is allowed to do, Stephanie is allowed to do too. I guess Stephanie doesn't have to respect Brooke's anything. Stephanie is leveling down to Brooke's, erics and rigde's low behaviors/levels. Why should she be the only one with higher Standards. No reason to respect Brooke, Brooke hasn't done it so far. Eric needs to take care of his kids with the family matress.
@@andream5998 I don't expect any support from Stephanie to Brooke, it is never genuine, just judging Stephanie who accuses Brooke of being selfish when Stephanie is the top selfish person.
The only time Stephanie did something selfless that I remember was to take the blame for Thorne shooting Ridge. And even then, one night in jail and she told Eric she can't take this any longer, because she expected they'd rule it an accident immediately and let her go.
Even on the day of Caroline's funeral, she was thinking of how to use this death to get Eric back.
She is no doubt a worse person than Brooke. Perhaps Brooke has more s e x *because that is apparently a crime when Brooke does it) but that is because Stephanie lost her interest in that ages ago.
@@andream5998 I couldn't read the whole of your message, because it doesn't appear here, but from what I read you wrote Stephanie never gets genuine support from Brooke. Next time this will happen, will be at the mental hospital Stephanie will be in, and Brooke will go and take pictures her children made to cheer Stephanie up and help her come out of it. I think that was genuine. And this means a lot more, because Stephanie had thrown Brooke in jail not long before that. She could have said "the heck with Stephanie, let her rot in there" but she didn't because she has a good heart.
@@marn25Someone with a good heart doesn't do everything Brooke has done because if she did she would be able to show compassion for Taylor and she hasn't, not once. She also wouldn't have gotten involved with a married man nor would she be able to sleep with her husbands son. She wouldn't use her children to get or keep a man. She wouldn't have tried to break up Ridge and Taylor over and over again. If she really loved Ridge she would have been happy that he was happy even if it meant she couldn't be with him. She wouldn't have married a man who is in the throws of severe grief. She wouldn't have abandoned her son over and over again when she couldn't get Ridge back. I mean she left him when she found out that Eric might be the father of Bridget and she left him on Christmas while she was 9 months pregnant because she couldn't get Ridge back. She wouldn't have taken control of Forrester Creations all because she couldn't take Ridge away from his wife. She wouldn't team up with a man who kidnapped a defenseless woman, physiological tortured her and brainwashed her into an unlawful marriage. She has been told by both Conner, Ridge, James and Taylor and yet she refuses to show not only any kindness but she gets angry at anyone who points that out. Except Ridge because she can't show that side to him. This is just the clif notes of what she has done so far and I haven't even mentioned all the horrible stuff she does in the future. Brooke is incapable of being selfless. She has never sacrificed anything for anyone even the people she claims she loves. Even when she helps Stephanie there is a selfish motive behind it. She does it because she wants Stephanie's approval and admiration. Plus having Stephanie on her side benefits her when it comes to Ridge. Brooke is a narcissist and she is incapable of kindness, compassion, empathy, true love and selflessness.

Brooke becomes a princess and goes to Morocco to help Omar run his Kingdom using her CEO skills.

🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️ hands down Brooke😂
"I have something that I wanna tell you" Stephanie couldn't wait to be a sn itch and Ridge justified Brooke before she even told him what happened 🤣🤣
Of course he justified Brooke. This time Brooke is right. But let's be honest, he has always forgiven her and she made his life miserable when she hid Caroline's letter, or Thomas paternity.
@@babs4848 But was she forgiven when those things happened? He stopped sleeping with her when he found out about the letter, and I think Brooke moved out of the mansion shortly after.
Her marriage was annulled almost immediately when he found out he knew she hid Thomas' paternity and she lost Ridge for many years after that.
Of course eventually she will be forgiven, that applies to everyone in the whole scope of the show. Even for example Ridge who divorced Taylor when he found out about James. They were engaged again a couple more times after that. It may not have worked out in the end, but still if they were engaged it means Taylor was eventually forgiven by then.
That also applies to Stephanie's deeds. Sometimes her whole family may be against her but eventually they become close again,

*Brooke resisting the archetype change*
Today is a perfect example of what *Nick* has been saying about how Brooke's character _resists_ the change in the writing which puts her in Taylor's former position.
In one scene, we have Ridge taking Brooke's side against his mother - a clear indication that Brooke holds the better cards in this game and will ultimately win (to use Nick's poker metaphor). And yet in a parallel scene, Brooke is scheming with Omar as if she was playing a losing game and had to ch e at in order to win.
It's as if Brooke is so used to having to scheme to get what she wants, that she doesn't actually recognize the signs that she is about to win "fair". She could be a graceful and "Good" winner here, but she can't help plotting to help destiny along, tainting what could otherwise have been an "earned" victory.
Taylor, on the other hand, is playing all the "wrong cards". She is repeating steps that she _saw Brooke take, unsuccessfully,_ back in 1993 (telling Ridge that they would be together), instead of using methods that actually _worked_ for Taylor in the past (allowing Ridge to chase _her)._ She is supposed to step into Brooke's archetype but does it half-heartedly, without Brooke's obses sive drive.
You make alot of valid points here. Brooke being obsessive when she’s loosing or winning? And Taylor suddenly being confident about Ridge…when she was his wife she always worried that Brooke was still a factor? Now that Taylor has been away from her marriage 10mons she can only remember the wine and roses? If Ridge were to choose her…she’d still be dealing with the insecurity that Ridge brings to the relationship because of Brooke always being a part of his life. 😃
I get that Brooke might feel more and more insecure and in need for an ally. But she would have better luck to ask Omar's necklace (that charm) for support.
Brooke just listens to Omar talking about his love for Taylor (when Taylor is not in love with Omar) and thinks that this will be enough to influence her marriage case and his? Didn't Ridge tell Brooke about the time before that marriage and how Omar has held Taylor captive and manipulated Taylor?
We had Stephanie's and Taylor's secret scheme with the lessons, that has backfired a bit but still has served a bit the purpose (proved to Ridge that the kids would get along with Taylor).
Then we have Brooke's and Omar's scheming, they promising to do whatever they can and fight their (futile) cases at court because people in love don't deserve to get punished and their secret power is that they are both convincing public speakers ?
Good examples (and thanks for the shoutout)! I would guess this resistance is partly a result of a tension in the writing between Brad Bell's vision and the leftovers writers from Bill Bell's regime who are used to writing the characters a certain way, and partly because KKL herself is used to playing Brooke as competitive/insecure. I even think Hunter Tylo's performance plays into this as well. She doesn't have the same dignified composure as before, but there are still times in their scenes when Taylor projects a kind of superiority, where it feels like she's looking down on Brooke, and KKL of course is reacting to that dynamic as well.
@@NewYorkNick0607
I think that you described the character traits of Brooke and Taylor pretty well. Brooke as competitive and insecure…Taylor more grounded and superior acting. Although, Brooke’s tactics have caused Taylor to loose her composure a few times. Right now Taylor appears to have the upper hand with her superior attitude towards Brooke who is operating in full blown insecurity mode. 🥴
yes Brooke she desreves to be punished for all the bad things she did for trying to break Taylor's marriage to Ridge fot for breaking Eric and Stephanie's marriage for using a technicallity to steal Forrester creations, for lieing to Ridge about his wife being alive for using the children to manipulate and stay with a man who is obviously is inlove with another woman
if anyone should be punished for their evil actions it is Brooke and with God's will she will be punished
How can Brooke talk to Omar knowing he kidnapped Taylor. Maybe because he did that for looooveee

Dylan says to Maggie that he knows a free spirit when he sees one. My wife Barbara was certainly a free spirit in that scene in Fraternity Vacation.
Dylan jokes that he is an undercover agent to welcome beautiful woman. My wife Barbara was kind of like an undercover agent (although there was hardly any cover literally involved) for that scene in Fraternity Vacation.
If had gotten Dylan's approach with Maggie when it came to a woman I was wooing in 2001 I would be with that woman right now.
Ironically it would meant that I would spent so much time with my wives Barbara and Kathleen in Fraternity Vacation.

Omar forget Taylor, marry me instead, my parents were born in Morocco, they grew up there, before they came here to Australia in the 1960s, which is where l was born. I'm an Aussie that would love to be your princess 😊
Wait till Dylan finds out Maggie is Jessica's mother...
I would have been far more pissed off if I were riidge and told Stephanie to mind her own damn business. My God doesn’t that woman have a life. It’s her life sticking her nose into her kids business.
Dylan and Maggie-dating his gf's mother-unless Jessica already knew.
that cringe music in these clubs....oh Jesus,,,!!!
So, so bad!!
Rigde is like daddy Hoegan a forever lowgan puppy dog. The sftv and her dusty lusty destiny trash prince can go an leave town and go right to their trashy Sunset together.
Stephanie hasn't done anything to Brooke so far and this swimming lessons arrangement aren't might not done propably by Stephanie, but its stupid to say it was vindictive. It wasn't very nice of her, but her intentions weren't wrong. They are actually good. Why shouldn't the children see Taylor.
It isn't as bad, as brooke is making it. There was no maniplution of the children or turning them against their mother.
Brooke is the one who is constantly putting the children in the middle of this and using them as reasons why Taylor needs to leave.
And Brooke has surely deserved Stephanie's dislike and hatred of her.
But ofc Rigde and Eric always justify everything the favorite forrester matress is doing and let her get away everything. They never give Stephanie a break and hold her to higher standard than Brooke.
yeah why cant Taylor interact with Eric's children🤣
That's another proof Ridge is Eric's 😂
why do people have to mention how many years this soap's been on the air? everyone is 'in the last 8 years"..blah
There won’t be any of this rigmarole Taylor would be kidnapped and taken back to the prince weather she liked it or not ,
That dance scene with Maggie and Dylan was cringe worthy, to say the least
Dylan The Cazanova
Stephanie is such a hypocrite !!
You are not going to sucsheed in the cort Omar
Lame
They always pottay Caucasian ladies as some kind of special princess,as if we they are when they have no color, shape or the big pretty lips.
Brooke looks STU..... kinda ordinary today....
She has to be far away from the sun and to dye her hair asap.
While I wonder that there will be two different hearings/ cases - If the TRIDGE marriage is considered to be the valid one, why would Taylor and Omar still need an annulment hearing? - I can't really watch Omar and Brooke. Their talk is so nonsensical (as if *love* is the basis for judges to rule by).
It was nonsensical…Omar has no power. He can’t force something that isn’t there? Omar has lost his leverage….Taylor wanting Ridge’s happiness with Brooke and his family. Taylor has changed course…I don’t think Brooke realized the former deal between Taylor and Omar? 😮
@@bettyhopson I assume we have the usual soap element of miscommunication.
Does Brooke not know that that marriage never has been consummated? Ridge did tell Brooke that Omar has held Taylor captive and forced her to watch BRIDGE, or didn't he? 🙁
If Brooke is aware of all these facts, why would she still think Omar has a case to win?
@@mara4450
Brooke seems to be accepting what Omar tells her. He claims(a lie) he and Taylor were inlove…don’t know how Omar can help her case? He’s distorting the Truth…Brooke is ignoring all the red flags here. She shouldn’t be trusting Omar about anything he says…her desperation has gotten the best of her common sense? Not to mention the writing is all over the place…🥴
