At no point in any of this has he even mentioned or asked about the condition of his brother who is in jail.

@@TriniT21 It's kind of a missed beat that we never see _anyone_ react to the news that Thorne may be facing the death penalty. For all we know, the Forresters never learn this. And although the Spectras do know eventually, we never actually see how they found out.

[@annieo6527]

*The Good Girl as passenger of the plot* As we've seen in the Morocco storyline, a complication of the Good Girl archetype is that she must avoid _actively_ making morally questionable decisions, meaning that sometimes the plot needs to push her into certain positions where she can't go herself. That left us with increasingly contrived obstacles preventing Taylor from revealing herself to Ridge (the coma, the amnesia, the captivity, the so-called sacrifice, the orphans, and so on). Now we see the same thing with Macy, where the plot needs her to go to Mexico with a man other than her fiancé, but it must happen in a way that _doesn't_ call into question her loyalty to that fiancé. So instead we have the reporters, Anthony, Sally, and even Thorne pushing her into passively accepting the idea of the Mexico trip. And both Taylor and Macy need to break out of the Good Girl passivity in order to advance the plot. Taylor did it yesterday, but at the expense of damaging her archetype (because the timing and motivation were unconvincing). Macy is next, but she will do it in a way that actually _solidifies_ her archetype (because her transition to activity happens at exactly the right time, for the right reason).

[@NewYorkNick0607]

Great parallel between Taylor and Macy as Good Girls! 👍 At this point they're actually writing the B plot better. Not just in the "breaking out of passivity" examples you described, but also even in the morally questionable passive moments. At least we get good reason why Macy decides to go to Mexico with Anthony. His manipulation, Thorne's permission, Sally's encouragement, the hounding of the reporters -- all of that adds up to convincing motivation. With Taylor, there were never any good reasons and motivations to not reveal herself to Ridge. Both Macy's weak and strong moments are being portrayed better than Taylor's.

[@annieo6527]

@@NewYorkNick0607 I agree that the character-based writing for Macy is much better than the writing for Taylor at this point. An important part of it is that the show provides Macy with strong motivations that explain not only _what_ she does but _when_ she does it. She never acts or changes her mind at random - any change in her is a direct result of new plot information. Taylor, on the other hand, changed her mind about returning to Morocco _without receiving any new information._

[@NewYorkNick0607]

Once again the Morocco storyline is a vacuum of reason and motivation. Taylor out of nowhere finally decides to stay in LA. Ridge isn't telling anyone that Taylor's alive...why? No reason. It's just what the plot needs. 🙄

[@annieo6527]

I still maintain that Taylor decided to stay in LA so she wouldn't have to listen to the 2 hour performance by the orphan choir. And Ridge just going about his day at work after finding out his wife came back from the dead just took whatever willing suspension of disbelief I had left in me for this storyline and shredded it.

If I have to see those orphans being lined up again like some unwilling Christmas carollers, I dont know what I would do... Meanwhile.. Taylor actually does try to explain her reasoning, and she does admit she'd be a terrible "mother" to orphans she doesn't even want. But.. She is still not making any sense. She's basically saying all the things at least 3 ppl (Jack, James and Gladys) had been telling her for weeks. So what happened to all the reasoning she kept giving as to why she decided to give up Ridge? I guess she and all realised how stupid it sounded. And this after writing her father a heart breaking goodbye letter, then basically telling him her coming back has nothing to do with him.. 🥴 They should have just left Jack's heart attack storyline out. And don't get me started on Ridge at work laughing and joking after Taylor's reveal, while Brooke could have barely functioned (or dressed properly) after learning Taylor was alive. I'm actually not interested in any reunion between taylor and Ridge at this point. It's gone too far off the rails for me to root for anything. Let him stay with Brooke and his father's kids.

[@bettyhopson]

[@MKL951]

The reunion of Ridge and Taylor is very underwhelming considering the long build was and Ridge in the recent past thinking of Taylor frequently. What was missing from Ridge's reaction is the pure joy of having someone you thought was dead for almost a year and them actually being alive. I understand the dilemma of Ridge having remarried and now having a live-in family with kids but could they not at least have an episode or so with him just delighted with Taylor being alive? Instead it's instantly "this is very complicated" The 2nd reunion was much better.

[@TriniT21]

Yes indeed. And I also have to wonder how is Ridge back at work after realising his wife is back from the grave. This makes it fall even more flat

It would have also given us some insight if they showed how Ridge interacted with Brooke once Taylor left. Now referring to this as a complication with his dad, certainly understated the incredible situation.

[@bettyhopson]

For Taylor to just show up at Brooke’s house to reveal herself to Ridge right after his return from the hospital was a Bold move on her part. She put Ridge in shock with her appearance back from the dead. Ridge then pulls away and says he’s married now. Taylor is not letting that fact get in her way in returning back to a life interrupted with her husband. Definitely, Taylor and Brooke seem to view Ridge as property? 🙄

Good way of putting it. Ridge is really taken back in his emotions…he’s not sure how to feel because he has based his present life on Taylor being lost to him forever. While here she stands telling Ridge she is back for him…then he remembers he has a new wife whom he just spoke to so lovingly a few moments ago. 😏

Which is why they should have never written Taylor's reason for sneaking back to LA in the first place as her dad's heart attack. Another unnecessary story. They should have just let Ridge be critical in the hospital due to the blast, have Taylor read about it in international news, and then decide to come back to LA as she would have thought Ridge was dying or something. Jack clearly has almost no place in her life

This episode was painful. 1. Ridge goes to work and is completely passive until he sets up a date with his *dead* wife at The Private Dining Room. What happened to the Ridge that chased Taylor down back in the day? Not buying it. Ridge would've never let Taylor leave that house after the reveal. When did Ridge turn into a Beta aka Thorne? 2. Speaking of Thorne, this *media frenzy* that Sally speaks of must be relegated to Downtown LA. I don't recall a single Forrester mentioning being hounded by the media. Thorne & Macy were rising international pop stars so it'd be logical that the media would be all over this. In the real world and any other soap, the murder of a Top Model by the son of an elite fashion house would be a completely salacious and delicious story chock full of different angles - from the rival design house angle, the scandalous Forrester clan, Thorne publicly dumping Ivana for Macy, Macy's alcoholism, the stalker issue, etc. Strangely, B&B has relegated this to a C-level story that I forget about until it resurfaces every few episodes.

[@annlavine3576]

Sally should see red flags. How did prince o know where Forrester office was. Sally called Macy "Darla" Obviously Stephanie kept quiet and did not tell Eric, I wonder what he and Ridge will think when they find out she knew all along? Did Taylor get another drivers license? (everything was lost on the flight)

[@annieo6527]

When Anthony tells Macy, about the trip to Mexico, "you'll look back on this, and you'll realize how significant this was", that sounds like foreshadowing, doesn't it? Ironically, Anthony is the one who sets this plot development in motion, and yet it ends up working to his _disadvantage._

[@ministryofwrongthink9847]

And no red flags to be seen anywhere 🚩🚩

[@NewYorkNick0607]

It's interesting how the moment in this story when the viewer starts getting Anthony's POV (post-Ivana's murder) is when he starts slipping up. He's still able to manipulate and move the plot (like he does getting Macy to go to Mexico with him) but he's also been sloppy (getting caught celebrating by Dylan), he's been comically unhinged (getting upset when he hears Thorne on the duet with Macy), and now as you say he's setting in motion a plot that will work against him. It's almost as if he needs to be mysterious and at a remove from the viewer to be powerful. And this is another way he's different from Sheila of course who derives a lot of her long-term viability from being able to connect with the audience.

[@annieo6527]

@@NewYorkNick0607 great point! I think it's a sign that even though we are getting Anthony's point of view, we are not supposed to _connect_ with him. His point of view is not a human one but rather "showing the audience the hidden bo mb in the room" to use a metaphor from your Hitchcock surprise vs suspense comment. And, to reconnect this to the Iago comparison, this corresponds with how Agatha Christie does a character analysis of Iago in one of her mystery novels (which has a Iago-like mur derer) - she has the detective talk about how Iago was the perfect mur derer, but how Shakespeare _had_ to have him make unnecessary mistakes because the plot required that he get caught.

[@Angel.M.Trinidad]

🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹 Happy New Year 2024 every one. Let this be the year we all manage to bring our goals to fruition. Angel/Trinidad West Indies. 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹

[@MrCraigblaze]

Doesn't Omar Challenge Ridge to a duel or something ??.

[@jemekiahall5848]

Omar go back to Morocco and take Brooke with you!😂

[@scor66]

Best idea, they belong together😂👍

[@daliaelkhatib1726]

yes that would be a bless everyone will be happy and the perfect ending

[@MT-sw8rf]

Does Omar tell Ridge, that Taylor is Princess Layla? 😅

[@sbookey]

Eric walks into the room and the look on his face is like, "Mmmm... who will be Wife number 4."

[@wnstein]

Anthony’s little muppet face every time he does that evil “he he he” smile 😝

[@Angel.M.Trinidad]

🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹 Taylor's presence inspires Ridge unconsciously, and he returns to work. Ridge should rest his eyes and recouperate a bit. Ridge is not responding as he should to Taylor. I expected this from him. Taylor stayed too long to go to him, and there is no excuse for that despite what occured especially since she returned to L.A she should have revealed herself while he was blind and vulnerable, so he could identity with her vulnerability. 🤭😧😦🤭He should be everjoyed that this human is alive not dead. Instead, he is feeling guilty about his quick marriage to Brooke and takes the offense by letting Taylor know he is married and being more concerned about WHAT happened rather than WHO is alive in front of him. Hmm. Angel/Trinidad West Indies. 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹

[@bettyhopson]

I agree that Taylor stayed gone too long. Ridge and Brooke have had time to bond in their marriage…it took time but Ridge just a few hours ago credited Brooke with saving his Life after Taylor’s untimely death. It may be too soon for Ridge to reverse course and run back to Taylor? 😮🤔

[@daliaelkhatib1726]

Taylor talking rationally speaking of herself how she was living in a fog and how happy she is that she finally told Ridge you know what we are all happy finally we are there she is happy and we missed seeing that beautiful smile

[@marypeter5161]

There's a part missing here.

[@andream5998]

Which one?

[@marypeter5161]

@@andream5998 ridge going to bed after Taylor left. Omar being told Taylor isn't on the plane.

[@TriniT21]

I know what you mean.. Ridge at work, just working like normal, feels like they skipped over some very essential scenes in between. Unfortunately, it is just very bad writing

[@bettyhopson]

True…did Ridge not bother to go to bed…just went straight to work? 🤷‍♀️

[@francoisekoko6068]

A blisful newyear to everyone and your love ones...🎉🎉🎉

[@katherineduboue9923]

Darla looks and is darling as usual.

[@ksbaxter]

Darla's hair look so hot

[@adelinedorceus1688]

Happy New Year to everyone 🎇

[@bonnie.f-58]

I’d like to wipe that smirk off of Anthony’s face.

[@vickilanger1228]

BLESSED NEW YEAR TO ALL 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓 ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️ 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

[@rosamariann]

Happy New Year TriniT 🎆❤

[@Angel.M.Trinidad]

🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹 I expected Sally's maternal instincts to be beeping regarding Anthony. Angel/Trinidad West Indies. 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹

[@esty683]

That scene with the models.. I cant stand the idiocy of this show

[@marcial7742]

I agree, that was so childish

[@YasmminKalpesi]

Thank you. ❤❤❤

[@sbookey]

Ridge asks Taylor if she can get to the private dining room on her own? This woman got herself from Morocco to LA with no money or passport! She hired Gladys to disguise her and paid her with ... what money? Sure, she can find her way across town.

[@TheChunjun]

Taylor once again being dramatic. Letting her father believe she's abandoning him only to waltz back in. Just kidding, Dad LOL...I love breaking your heart so I can come back and hear how important I am to you while I keep talking about Ridge who I've also played head games with. Taylor is a nut case.

[@Angel.M.Trinidad]

🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹 It seems like the Writers have nothing more for Taylor to do. This character has only a few layers, and it's on the decline. Angel/Trinidad West Indies. 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹

[@kingporter67]

Super awesome 1995 episode!!

[@Angelika....]

LooooL the Bikini girls in Ridges office.. so ridiculous

[@nadianikolov]

Darla is an adorable human being.❤

[@RedouaneRedou]

Such a nice thumbnail 😏

[@DestinyPifer]

Good lord Omar is so damn good looking. I would hop back on that plane with him myself. Taylor ends up broken down and alone anyway thanks to Ridge so she would have been better off with a man who adored her.

[@babs4848]

The fact she doesn't love him, or that he was the first who could have told Ridge is wife was still alive, before his sandy wedding, are good enough reasons to hate him.

[@scor66]

Adored her?? He was keeping her prisoner and was manipulating her too. He may be good looking, but his character is creepy and obsessive. And Taylor doesn't love him either!🙈

[@ritagreenlaw8923]

Taylor father is Rick Webber from General Hospital.

[@Angel.M.Trinidad]

🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹 A refreshing thumbnail of beautiful models. Angel/Trinidad West Indies. 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹

[@katherineduboue9923]

Even though Omar is despicable. I still think he's the hottest looking man on the show.

[@annakorba8333]

I don't like Anthony....never like him 🤨from the beginning!!!

[@sbookey]

Not welcoming Ridge back: Ivana. The other models barely notice or care that she's dead. And neither do we.

[@chris1pugsley]

(Wolf Whistle)! 0:22, 0:33, 1:40, 1:46

[@ritagreenlaw8923]

Eric was so handsome man on this episode.

[@penieljesuszuniga]

Thank God for the "fast-forward" button! 😒

[@drucillafairway5226]

😔Taylor.. Ridge aint yours anymore.. & again you glue your Mouth tae another Man who aint yours.. sorry.. Stop walkin after Ridge.. Youre doin exactly da same from what you accuse Brooke..
