Bold and the Beautiful - 1994 (S8 E34) FULL EPISODE 1785

[@blackblake3658]

We know Sheila is crazy, but Eric treats her like a stalker instead of his wife. In the last episode, he told Stephanie "She tried to seduce me." That's your wife, fool. I'm so over Father Forrester. And Stephanie is just as bad for how she tossed Jack to the curb.

Why cant ridge SEE Bridget while she sleeps? He can sit down there and watch her. Waking up the sleeping kid just because of a selfish father that suddenly wants to see her, is just over all. I wouldnt wake her up.

[@annieo6527]

Exactly. If he absolutely needs to see her he can watch her sleep. Play time needs to wait until morning.

[@veronicaalmeda8014]

Tbh I agree with James, Ridge could see her in the morning, when she is awake and when people aren't going on about their business. He may be the father but he is intruding in the mother's life and disrupting the child's routine. Don't these ppl have shared custody?, anyone noticed that Ridge and Eric don't have visiting hours or days and they hardly truly see their kids??, why is that?.

Not much risk there that Eric will turn up late at night to wake up little Eric to get some "playtime" with his son. Brooke might need to take little Eric to the office, so that the Erics can spend some time together.

The "royalty" comments are fun, but still I have to wonder about it. - It took so long until female children even got treated equally. In some countries even nephews succeeded to the throne, while often the daughters just got skipped over. Since 1980 European countries like Sweden, Netherlands, Norway, Belgium, Denmark, Luxembourg and the UK (2013) have changed their rules of succession to treat males and females equally. - Bridget was not Ridge's firstborn (falling back down the line of succession), but Ridge later ended up not even being Eric's firstborn. That would be now Thorne, who's only daughter has died. Next is Kristen, whose only son has been adopted. Then Felicia and her son Dominick. Dominick the current real "heir" to that Forrester fashion house royalty ? Or would it still be Ridge Forrester, the son that has no ties to the genealogical Forrester family tree? With the way that family procreates, "royalty" is a fun aspect.

Random comments on this episode: It's too bad that they didn't keep Bridget as Ridge's daughter. I think it would have made the "Bridge" arc stronger. Also, what's with Brooke dying her hair reddish or is it the soft lighting? Finally, I'm surprised that Sheila kept her identity hidden for so long. In know in the Internet era, it's easy to google someone and we often forget that they didn't have the internet back then (or it was in its infancy). Still, after having stolen a child and committed arson in Genoa City, it's surprising that she could come to LA and be a socialite wife of a famous person. This makes Eric stupid: he didn't try to see if she was a gold digger or do a personal investigator on her before marrying her?

How funny sheila trying to seduce Eryuck while stephanie is in the room. Erweak was obviously not impressed. I'm sure no woman was ever impressed with Mr one minute man, Eric Logan daddy forrester. Love Stephanie's shade to sheila and Eric. And Sheila played that card awhile ago and rubbed in Stephanie's face, when sheila drugged Eric to prevent him from seeing steph. Eric could have simply said he isn't alone in his office. But he didn't. Sheila is his wife. Stephanie has nothing to do with this situation and Sheila. I personally think that sheila is going wild and bongers in awhile is mostly Eric's fault. He is the one married to her. It's not Stephanie's job to be nice to his flavor of the month /year or she has nothing to do with sheila. Eric was always a her, prick and selfish sob.

Poor Thorne. Hes not getting any screen time after his recent breakups and overseeing FC International in Paris. He will need to find a French partner for singing duet to keep him feeling fulfilled and satisfied.

[@annieo6527]

Oh, he'll be singing his little heart out soon enough... 😉 Actually, I think Thorne will be off contract for quite a while now. His entire 1994-1995 storyline happens with Thorne on recurring status.

[@rtquest22]

@@annieo6527 that's when his time of honing his impersonation craft of people like Trump started. JT is a great entertainer off screen.

[@annieo6527]

@@rtquest22 JT as Thorne always struck me as a comedic actor cast against type in a serious/dramatic role. (And actually I'd say the same goes for BE as Macy - she is cast as the "straight man" of the Spectra gang.)

[@rtquest22]

@@annieo6527 I find it quite odd for Bill Bell to choose JT to take over the character from Clayton Norcross after the episode of him (Thorne) being drunk and then a change in face in the next but then maybe Bell saw something in JT in a different perspective for storyline purposes and to start anew and exploring the idea of romantic scenes between Thorne w Macy which I thought they immediately clicked and even Bobbie Eakes admitted that she had fun being w JT because they had something in common and singing is one of them. In a way, JT's comedic cast and BE's serious "worldly" approach in the show complimented each other.

[@rtquest22]

@@annieo6527 I think that part of Thorne being off contract for almost a year may have led to Brad Bell preparing to find another actor to eventually recast Thorne later in 1996. He's fond of WH as the actor was cast in AMC at that time.

This is one of the many reasons why I hate psychiatrist James should not be speaking about Sheila if Sheila is his patient that goes against the Psychiatrist and patient confidentiality

[@mara4450]

?? Sheila isn't James's patient. James suggested to Sheila that she might try out therapy, but Sheila hasn't taken James up on that offer (Sheila already has Dr. Garvin). We had James on screen deciding to give up working as a therapist. Has he changed that resolve yet? But yes, James is too much acting like a showman, making guesses on people he doesn't know well (no client, no order to evaluate someone).

Ridge it's one pain after another, because Bridget is not you're daughter, she's Eric Forrester daughter. It's time for Ridge and everyone take a very good look at Bridget, and then Ridge should work in Paris with Throne while Stephanie destroy the house of trickery and deceit by first giving Ridge the letter Taylor left him, and enlighten Ridge on the BIGGEST secret Brooke never wanted him to know "Brooke's mother was you're father's mistress during the course of you're parents marriage and Brooke encouraged her mother to take you're father away from you're mother, and then Brooke and Donna told you're father lie's on you're mother and you're father divorced you're mother then Brooke took you're father away from her mother" this secret revealed would of removed the bias writing and made the storylines better!

[@cathybernard7933]

James was out of line That should have been Brooke's call to make not James. Ridge should have punched him.

[@annieo6527]

I disagree. Someone had to stand up for the _sleeping child_ and her parents were ignoring her needs in favor of their own.

[@mara4450]

I don't always agree with James's way of talking to people - but here I am glad that he spoke up. Bridget's needs should come before the needs of any adult. There was no reason to wake up sleeping Bridget just so that Ridge could have some playtime that same night. A child that young needs her sleep routine.

[@bonniek5331]

Couldn't Ridge just peek on her and sit by the crib?

[@zianaboating6052]

I love it when someone stand up to Ridge but James should cut him some slack, is too soon.
