[@sharonstewart4882]

I'm glad Taylor said, "My husband _and my family"_ because it's not just about Ridge. Taylor has a life in LA and other people who know and love her (like her father Jack!) and what Omar is doing is cruel to all of them.

[@annieo6527]

Yes, _finally!_ This should be her _main_ argument for getting Omar to release her. She should be talking about her poor heartbroken father, not about her longing for a man Omar considers his rival. It would be much harder for him to argue against that.

[@sharonstewart4882]

Jack already has lost his wife in an accident, didn't have any contact with Zach for years and Zach has left LA again, and Taylor had been Jack's only family then. Stephanie also misses Taylor greatly, but I doubt that Omar would care about that relationship.

*Let me preface by saying I like both Brooke and Taylor so this isn't about a fan war.* I get that they are trying to sell a romantic fantasy by having Ridge sweep Brooke off her feet but I wish they would remember to telegraph that Brooke is wealthy and successful now too. She doesn't need Ridge to give her things and she shouldn't be overwhelmed by the accoutrements of wealth anymore because she has it. This is something I find B&B does poorly and Y&R was better at. The latter show understood the difference between Old Money (the Chancellors, the Abbotts) and New Money (the Newmans) and while the Old Money folks had the prestige, Victor Newman was nevertheless the richest man in town. At this point because of Belief, Brooke should be richer than the Forresters even as she is trying to marry into their prestige. And I wish the show would let her be more like Victor Newman in that way.

I think it's because it doesn't fit Brooke's narrative to herself - she still wants to cast herself as Cinderella.

I also think Ridge is really trying to make this the honeymoon of Brookes' dreams. In a sense, he feels like he has taken her for granted and deprived her of this moment, so he has pulled out all the stops. He is doing his best in essence to make it memorable, meaningful, and special for her, so he is sparing no expense.

Maybe I am mistaken, but I thought Ridge mentioned and remembered Caroline in April after Taylor's death, had a scene with the flower garden? But since JJ/ Karen in June, it seems as if Caroline is now definitely forgotten. It would have made sense if Ridge before the BRIDGE marriage would have remembered Caroline's wish, but instead the dialogue has transferred Caroline's role into Taylor's and we had Eric and Ridge talking about how *Taylor* would have wanted Ridge to be happy and would have wanted him to move on quickly with Brooke.

Not having her father for many years doesn't negate the rest of the family, including grandma Logan to whom she was very close.

[@babs4848]

It is strange too that Sally is interested in that non sense!!

[@annieo6527]

Exactly! It might make Jessica's parents reconsider the whole guardianship. I mean, what is more likely to disrupt Jessica's life and adversely impact her studies - a 20 year old boyfriend, or an emotionally draining courtroom drama? By pressing charges Eric and Stephanie are hurting Jessica as much as they are hurting Dylan, in a situation where _nobody_ needed to get hurt at all. Eric and Stephanie are handling this all wrong - what they should be doing is making sure they build a _close_ relationship with both Jessica and Dylan, so they can be a positive influence and help them make responsible decisions for both their futures. Dylan is is college and Jessica will be soon. They don't need this extra pressure of Dylan possibly going to prison.

[@annieo6527]

*Why the Prince Omar storyline is so disappointing this time around* I remember watching this storyline when it first aired, and at the time I loved it and couldn't wait for the next episode. This time, I find it uninteresting and almost impossible to watch. And I think I'm starting to figure out why. It's because this storyline is _all plot and no character._ In order to enjoy watching a storyline when the outcome is unknown, it's easy to stay invested simply because you want to know how it ends. The scenes on the yacht are suspenseful because you wonder what Mustafa is going to do to Brooke and Ridge, and if they are in danger. Seeing Taylor with Omar you wonder if and how she will escape, or if he will let her go. But on second viewing, all that suspense is _gone._ In order to still work, the storyline needs more substance. If the outcome of the plot is already revealed, there must be _something else_ there to hold our attention. This "something else" can be summed up in one word: characterization. The writing, the acting, the direction - all of these have to make us _connect emotionally_ with the characters and experience what they are going through, or there is nothing left to care about once we know how the storyline ends. It's the psychological aspect that is, or should be, _more_ interesting than whether or not Mustafa will throw Ridge and Brooke overboard. And that is what is missing from this storyline. The emotional beats are missing or unconvincing. I don't _feel_ the characters. I know what is going to happen to them, but I don't care enough about them to want to watch them get there a second time. Now, the comments section is a different matter. I can honestly say I come here more for the comments than for the actual episodes. 😊♥️ (By the way, a striking contrast to this plot-driven storytelling - and the best proof of the importance of characterization - was the other episode, when Sally walked into the Insomnia, ordered espresso, and somehow that was the most interesting thing going on that day.)

[@annieo6527]

@@babs4848 exactly - I think the problem is that both Ridge, Taylor and Brooke are very shallow characters as they are being written _at this particular point_ in their history. Ridge has always been mainly a prize to be fought over, but that is never more clear than now when he seems to be perfectly content with Brooke, while still reminiscing about being perfectly content with Taylor. He has no clear preference or emotional driving force. Brooke was a more complex character as long as she _didn't_ have everything she wanted. She is a character whose driving force is her _desire for something she doesn't have._ That is why she is in her element when she is "the other woman", but oddly out of place as "the happily married wife". If all Brooke's dreams come true, there is no conflict or struggle, and her character loses the power to drive a plot. Taylor was always a more passive "Good Girl/Princess" type character, but making her an _actual_ "damsel in distress", a princess held captive by an obsessed prince, only underlines and magnifies this lack of agency to the point of depriving her of her subjectivity. Her cries of "let me go, I want to be reunited with my husband!" ring hollow because at this point _that is all there is to her character._ We don't see Taylor _the psychiatrist_ reacting to her captivity, for example. Taylor the independent career woman and accomplished doctor is reduced to a typical fairy tale maiden, unable to rescue herself but instead having to rely on the mercy of her captor or the resourcefulness of an outside rescuer.

hello Annie! if you've seen it, can you tell me what are the orders prince omar gave mustafa? what will he do to brooke and ridge?

[@basiadumanski3031]

Whenever I watch Brooke and Ridge together they are always playful with one another. They constantly flirt with big grins on their faces. I feel like a school girl everytime I watch them. 😅

[@annlavine3576]

Sally is right, although i do not approve of sex outside of marriage Stephanie's solution does not help anyone. So the kink had the ship taken over? What does the owner say. Does the king plan to drown Ridge? That will accomplish nothing. Kidnapping is a crime. The king is delusional and abusive. Eric should ask Jessica's parents or at least inform them

[@mara4450]

(1:52)Brooke: _Why don't you lock the door?_ Ridge: _I lock the door._ The transcript instead switches to interpretation: (1:52) *She* locked the door, unlocked the door.

It’s their honeymoon, that’s what you do! ☺️

[@susankent6051]

It's mostly about lust with them. They are very shallow in my eyes.😊

[@mara4450]

@@PeaceLoveHappiness7719 It could be the honeymoon. TRIDGE even continued to make out on Stephanie's living room couch after their return. Stephanie had to cough and loudly say to Maria _I guess we are not alone_ , for them to stop kissing. But then again, TRIDGE then continued to have sex so often on screen - even later officially turned it into the "baby making project", so it might just be Ridge really being the sex god (something TRIDGE have joked about).

I felt the same way when Ridge was paired with Taylor …All we saw was them making love and discussing Brooke.With Caroline it was different and he seemed the most in love.

Thank you to the writers for acknowledging the tragedy that is tridge 🤮. They weee like business partners. Ironic cause they didn’t even work together. They didn’t have a very passionate relationship. In comparison they had to brining back the og. I’m amazed that Caroline and Taylor who both had less airtime and good storylines (this one is the worst, for Taylor. She looks out of place and it hate her acting, no tears.) at least kkl can do the one year on que. anyways the folks that supported those two other layers are ultimately just Brooke haters. So thanks for really crafting her character the best. (Her storylines are outrageous and literally carry this show singlehanded at times).

I just read an article in which RM talks about his Chemistry with KKL. How their scenes were second nature to them and created a lot of things out of nothing. Watch the many interviews RM did, he often talks about his Chemistry with KKL and never talks about Chemistry with any other female character.

Absolutely Agree…the constant thread throughout B&B has been Ridge returning to Brooke again and again and taking up where they left off the previous time. This honeymoon is the reunification of Bridge in love again. But we know outside forces will threaten their love again? Right now Ridge’s focus is on Brooke. Love that.💕It’s their Love story being reenergized.😘🤗 And yes Ridge can also love more than one woman at a time…so Taylor will get her turn again too!💕

Eric and Stephanie are just plain ridiculous! Do they really think this is going to teach Jessica a lesson? To press charges against the man she loves…her first love which is a very powerful love, and then possibly drag this into court will only serve to traumatize her. Dylan is not some lowlife. He is responsible and truly cares deeply for Jessica. They have not slept together since that initial first encounter. Why aren’t Jessica’s parents consulted? Yes, they are going through a divorce, but that doesn’t mean you lose contact with your daughter!!!!
