Bold and the Beautiful - 2002 (S15 E192) FULL EPISODE 3829

[@annieo6527]

Jennifer Finnigan is _kiIIing_ it in these episodes! Bridget is intense, focused, heartbroken, furious, sarcastic, empty, and JF balances all those emotions masterfully, playing the transitions between them like a skilled musician. The way she says "I'm gone", and then "Go for it. Follow your heart", is chilling. I am in awe. 👏

[@VjAdrasaVideos]

she did well and imagine was a young actress

[@NewYorkNick0607]

Bridget really sounds like Stephanie here telling Brooke she's living in a fantasy (12:45) and bitterly mocking her with "follow your heart." (14:56) These are key aspects of the main personality conflict between Stephanie and Brooke where Brooke always thinks she’s the romantic heroine in a fairytale story but in reality her pursuit of love means hurting others destroying lives (for more on this, see my post in episode 3795 when Stephanie confronts Brooke about her affair with Deacon). All of this makes it even more disappointing that Brad Bell didn’t follow through with this potential and make Bridget into a new Stephanie who opposes Brooke. This should’ve been the origin story for a new intra-family feud where Bridget gets folded into Stephanie’s side of the family and spends the rest of her life in conflict with her mother. But instead Brad Bell lets the storyline end with everything reset, the slate wiped clean, and everyone goes back to their corners just like the end of a sitcom episode.

[@ram262maha]

Very well said. I completely agree with you about how this storyline should've played out. You don't have Brooke do something like this to her daughter only to sweep it under the rug afterward.

[@annieo6527]

Yes! This storyline should have _permanently_ changed the relationship between Brooke and Bridget. It's strange that every time someone is set up to become Stephanie's successor, the show just plays with the idea but ultimately drops it.

[@Silvio67]

you are so right. and whip just disappears. he would have been a great new legacy character.

[@DAVegas-yc8xq]

That would have been a much better SL and Brooke deserved the wrath she never got from anyone but Stephanie.

[@annieo6527]

It really bothers me how _Deacon alone_ will end up bIamed for this situation, and the only one who will actually lose something as a result. Deacon has to leave town and give up everything, while Brooke only gives up Deacon but otherwise her life stays the same.

[@TriniT21]

@@annieo6527 exactly. Brooke never actually faces any consequences except losing a man she didn't really want anyway when he became actually available to her. And the worst part is, Brooke never learns or grows... she will go on to behave exactly the same for the rest of her days. And nothing will happen to her as a result.. In fact, she finally gets "rewarded" with a child for Ridge. At the very least she should never been able to achieve her greatest desire, which was to have a child for him

[@leviaj1]

The sad thing is Brooke is right, Bridget will forgive her some day, even though she doesn't deserve it. It's unfortunate. This fiery and intense version of Bridget is giving us here is far more dynamic and interesting than what she regresses back to.

[@NewYorkNick0607]

That's what makes these scenes hard for me to enjoy. Knowing that it goes nowhere and that the slate gets wiped clean all too easily just makes all of this seem pointless. Like you and I have been saying, if you're going to do a crazy storyline like this, you need to commit to it, including to the fallout.

[@orifeldman3213]

@@NewYorkNick0607 it really feels like all this comes to naught. Bc then Brooke does bridgit pretty much the same thing all over again. And worse .. bridgit continues to defend her mother against Steph, which is why I really can't feel too sorry for her, as much as I love her reaction now. Disappointing that she didn't keep this energy, that Steph has to be back to being the only one who actually sees Brooke as she really is, and more disappointing that Brooke always comes out relatively unscathed... Even rewarded by eventually getting to have a child with Ridge which was her life's work. If Macy was never able to have the child with Forrester she always wanted neither should Brooke have gotten that reward.

[@FayeIL]

There’s a reason why this has been one of my two favorite B&B scenes from the whole time I was watching the show (the other one is where Bridget confronts Deacon). Jennifer Finnegan is just amazing balancing burning, righteous rage and utter, acerbic-witted scorn toward Brooke. The way she spat out “Go ahead, Mom. Follow your *heart*” was such a perfect indictment of the ridiculously maudlin way the show tried to paint the sick Brooke-Deacon liaison. I also love how JF also added some of the heartache you would expect to see in a situation like this to the rage and scorn. When she confronts her mother about how many times she slept with Deacon, and Brooke can’t even count them up, the way Bridget’s voice broke a little over “You don’t even know” was perfect. As well, her refusing to let Brooke touch her (the second of the three times she’ll refuse to be touched in this storyline arc, as I pointed out the other day) shows her continuing trauma over the discovery of “Breacon.” In every way that matters, this discovery has made Bridget feel isolated and alone, untouchable, and her refusing to literally be touched is an effective representation of that.

[@annieo6527]

Yes! The amazing thing about JF's performance in these scenes is how layered the are - how many different emotions Bridget expresses in just a single phrase.

[@DAVegas-yc8xq]

Brooke saying she was ashamed was a blatant lie ... she was ready to tell bridget before, but only so SHE could be with Deacon.

As horrible as Brooke is for sleeping with Deacon, it's hard to feel sorry for Bridget. She knew the man used her to get to Amber. She knows he left the phone off the hook so her parents could hear them in bed. She knew he knocked up Becky and that his other girlfriend got into a fight with Amber and ended up dead. Two silly women.
