Bold and the Beautiful - 2003 (S16 E165) FULL EPISODE 4051

[@detroitsmoneymakingdiva4398]

I’m sorry but I laugh every time Stephanie restrains herself from choking somebody 🤣

[@TriniT21]

Not Eric still talking about him supposed to be the head of the family... *pulls out tiny violins*🎻 Boy, bye. You've never been the head of anything. That's why you never know anything til Steph tells you. Barely even the head of your own company.

[@FayeIL]

Brooke to Ridge: “I see you’re at a loss for words . . .I’ve never seen you before like this.” Ridge: “That’s because I’ve never been so utterly bored and simultaneously grossed out by a storyline as I am now.”

[@TriniT21]

Even the writers can't make up enough dialogue to make this interesting

[@annieo6527]

If Brooke has never seen Ridge at a loss for words before, she hasn't been looking very closely.

[@SuzanneAllen-ne2nr]

The closeups of Brooke at the end of this episode are honestly the most hid e o us images I've ever seen in daytime TV.

[@tonistoffa]

What is it that people have to make rude comments!!!! Merry Christmas

[@ThatGirlyLife]

​@@tonistoffa total disgrace isn't it

[@sharonstewart4882]

Bridget is more upset that Stephanie doesn't want her to sleep with her brother than she was at her mother for sleeping with her husband. 🥴

[@annlavine3576]

not at all

[@tiroyaonejustinphologolo9763]

I can't with the Logan family. They're such flip floppers. 🙄

[@janinelemieux3099]

I don't blame Stephanie, Eric & Brooke are more with her & Ridge than Brooke and deacon together

[@34Jackson]

18:06 - u&ly 18:24 - UGGGHHHHHHHLEEEEEEEEEEE

[@annieo6527]

Stephanie saying how she never believed a woman of Bridget's character would do something like this, and how Bridget is becoming her mother, really feels like she is meta commenting on the bad writing where Bridget is being destroyed to make Brooke look better by comparison.

[@lil_jon411]

“Every important relationship in my life has been blown apart overnight” damn poor Thorne…and Kristen….and Felicia…..and Ric….and Bridget. He’s really sounds like ridge is his only child. Heck what about the grandkids?

[@tiroyaonejustinphologolo9763]

I was asking myself where the writers were going with that line.

[@TriniT21]

Funny Brooke always says: "I've been in love with you most of my life" /"I've been in love with you from the first day I met you" And yet, Ridge can't ever say the same about Brooke. Meanwhile, not Brooke admitting that Ridge always chose someone else over her and the only way she can have a chance is now that they are both d e a d 😂😂

[@lil_jon411]

As usual, you always notice and comment exactly what I be thinking. It’s sad when you always have to tell a guy how long you’ve loved and wanted him and he can’t say the same. At least here she admits to always being insecure, which is strange since they are “destined” to be together. Are yall meant to be together or not? 😂😂

[@annieo6527]

Brooke doesn't seem to realize that most of her "history" with Ridge has been one-sided.

[@tiroyaonejustinphologolo9763]

Jackie knows about Eric and admires him (8:31) yet she can't recognize him, even though she holds a top position at Fenmore (1:49) Their interaction is anything but authentic.

[@annieo6527]

So true! Everything about Jackie and Nick Payne's interactions with other characters feels contrived and unrealistic.

[@TriniT21]

@@tiroyaonejustinphologolo9763 when nick first mentioned Ridge to her on the boat, she didn't even know who he was either.. Despite working at Fenmores, which is Forresters biggest customer 😕. Also weird, was Jackie walking into Massimo's office, having a convo with him, and not even recognising her til she told him they'd spent some magical nights together. Clearly they weren't that magical if he didn't even recognise her. Was just as unbelievable as Eric claiming Beth was the love of his life and it took him a couple days b4 he recognised her.

[@babs4848]

Ridge kissed Bridget at big Bear, Eric saw them and got furious so he went to Brooke to say her she loves her. That's so romantic.

[@annieo6527]

What Brooke says: "I need some time to think... alone." What Brooke means: "I want to start dating this other guy too."

[@babs4848]

She is free to be the romantic one with both men. Brooke' s character is useles if she is married to Ridge. While for Taylor was completely different. She couldn't make mistakes also because she had been Ridge's wife for most of her screen time life.

[@lil_jon411]

“Do you want me to feel sorry for you?” “Could you? Do you even have that ability” she did have that ability when she was comforting when your mother had your husbands baby. The audacity of her to say that to the ONLY person who’s ever truly had her back. Steph should have kicked her out right there.

[@TriniT21]

@@lil_jon411 Steph even felt sorry for her 🗑️ mother, taking care of her and baby Nope to help keep the paternity a secret, and spare bridgit embarrassment. These ppl don't ever deserve anything Steph does for them.

[@nancytautuaa8996]

Brooke throwing a fit but she will still chase after Ridge because she's desperate to be his wife 🤣🤣🤣😢

[@scor66]

Ridge's ego has always been too big! Why else would he say to every woman that she's the only woman for him? He thinks he's their prize....😅

[@TriniT21]

To be fair, the women make him feel like he is some kind of prize, especially Brooke

[@tiroyaonejustinphologolo9763]

Eric and Brooke mostly give caricature when they're supposedly upset.

[@memento-_mori]

The nice thing about a Bridget/Ridge pairing is they can keep the BRIDGE ship name.

[@orifeldman3213]

“This is my daughter we’re talking about, there’s no excuse” got that right, BROOKE

[@bees2024bees]

19:13 RM please, 😂 WHAT WAS THAT?! It didn't have the emotional effect the writers thought it would for sure, just seemed like a nervous twitch/involuntary jerk 🤭 Still love you, Ronn-Hottie!😉

[@antoniusjohnson3824]

“You are becoming your mother.” Isn’t that the same thing Steffy says about Hope?

[@Angelika....]

Ridge 5 minutes ago just kissing Bridget and then Brooke?? What the hell is going on with the writers.

[@FayeIL]

RME at Jackie “therapeutically” hugging a man she just met 5 minutes ago . . . I see lack of appropriate boundaries runs in the Payne family. Just another example of the Paynes being shoved down our throats at record speed. Eric: “I’m supposed to be the head of this family, but I found out I had no idea what was going on . . .all these secrets.” Me: “Don’t feel badly. Nobody could expect you to keep up with everything at home *and* find time to chase after multiple inappropriate women.

[@TriniT21]

I don't know when Eric was ever the head.. Barely heading his own company at this point. Too much Jackie and not enough Sally.

[@annieo6527]

You said what I was about to say, @Faye! Jackie suddenly hugging Eric is just another example of Jackie and Nick Payne being written to have an unrealistic and unearned closeness to the established characters. They are just _there,_ right at the center, without having had to do any of the work one would expect that a new character would have to do to get to know the core families. Their interactions with other characters simply aren't believable, and as a result, they don't feel like real people. Also @Trish, yes, too much Jackie and not enough Sally is right!

[@JanetWashington-ph6dz]

Not Hypocrite Brooke telling Ridge you shouldn't have kissed Bridgette You were my Fiance But it's ok for Brooke to sleep with Deacon because she was following her heart and it was a stupid mistake. That's always Brooks excuse nobody else can do the things she does. Nobody can get away with anything at all but SFTV can

[@TriniT21]

It was also apparently OK for Brooke to have slept with Eric when he was the love of her mother's life. And Beth begged Brooke to end that relationship for her sake, but she absolutely refused. Not saying bridgit/Ridge isn't disgusting, but Brooke's issue isn't even that anymore. Now all she sees is her daughter as competition to her

[@SuzanneAllen-ne2nr]

@@TriniT21 And Eric was both her mother's ex-lover _and_ her ex-lover's father (Ridge). 🥴 Brooke also cheated on Eric with his son, didn't know which one had fathered her child, married her children's brothers (TWICE) and had a baby with her daughter's husband. She can have SEVERAL SEATS on this topic.

[@tiroyaonejustinphologolo9763]

5:00 what exactly have Ridge and Brooke gone through? We saw Ridge choose other women and even Eric over Brooke! 🥴

[@babs4848]

It's so disappointing. Brooke is the one who had to look at Ridge happy with another woman, twice.

[@TriniT21]

I made a comment that Brooke's always talking about being in love with Ridge for her whole adult life from the moment she saw him when she catered at his house. Ridge, however, cannot say the same about Brooke. He saw her, and kept pursuing Caroline to take him back til Brooke stole his letter. As far as I'm concerned, the only thing Brooke's been going through is constantly making up a relationship with Ridge where there wasn't any.

[@bettyhopson]

@@TriniT21 There has always been a relationship between Ridge and Brooke. Ridge reaches out to Brooke time and again when he’s having a bad day. LOL 😮 When the going gets tough Ridge turns to Brooke. She has taken him back many times only to get burned again. But that is all about to change with Nick….😬

[@nancytautuaa8996]

Look at Jackie working her way to Eric's arm 🤣🤣🤣

[@nancytautuaa8996]

Lauren she isn't a Forrester why she gave permission for Jackie to Taylor's place?

[@blackblake3658]

I just can't unsee Bridget hanging out with her high school friends last year. To have Massimo and CJ encouraging a relationship with Ridge and her flirting with Nick after a marriage to Deacon is gross. She is 19 at best.

[@mara4450]

It doesn't really make it that much better, but *_Bridget is 20_* . On May 2, 2001 we had the episode when they had a party at Mannequin to celebrate Bridget's 18th birthday. Today's episode aired on May 23, 2003, so two years have passed already.

[@brendanbressler9807]

Scary thumbnail. I thought it was Christmas not Halloween. 😲😱

[@MariaPerez-sb1xp]

I thought of Lindsay Lohan twice in this episode. Jackie's english accent reminded me of the Parent Trap, and when Jackie hugged Eric that way on 4:32 , I was reminded of Gretchen when she told Cady in Mean Girls:"Regina wanted me to give you this."

[@MariaPerez-sb1xp]

Jackie was about to follow in Stephanie's footsteps. Stephanie did a Forrester after Marone, and Jackie was about to do a Forrester after a Marone as well.

[@bees2024bees]

2:28 Love L.A.D 😊

[@Angelika....]

Stephanie high 5, telling Bridget how disgusting that all is.

[@orifeldman3213]

What the hell is Lauren doing giving people a key to a Forsters house??

[@annieo6527]

_"I spent so much time looking over my shoulder, wondering about the feelings you had for other people - Taylor, Caroline."_ Brooke, he was _married_ to them. What was there to wonder about? (Not how the show is trying to portray Caroline and Taylor as the "other women" here, with Brooke "looking over her shoulder" as if she was the one who was actually in a relationship with Ridge.)

[@frapi5018]

Ridge keeps his fingernails too long!!

[@annieo6527]

RM's plays the guitar. It's what guitarists do.

[@mirainoivuyo984]

Ridge was not very convincing at all and he looks so unattractive here… the hair has to go!

[@caldervitriolic2128]

This is all so ridiculously overplayed cause we all know Bridge will be reunited

[@memento-_mori]

"Bridge" can also be Bridget + Ridge

[@StephWrites-id6cx]

U&ly Brooke. Too u&ly for Ridge.

[@brendanbressler9807]

Brad and KKL will be reunited.

[@babs4848]

Bridge has never been really together. So they can't reunite. The only time they were a family was when he lost Taylor and he thought Bridget was his child( but he spent all the marriage mourning Taylor).
