This week was a huge setup for B&B’s self-proclaimed ‘royal’ couple to go from living together to on their way to their wedding in the space of three soap days. Even all the beautiful shots of Dubai and what is apparently supposed to be a ‘fairytale’ destination couldn’t detract from how ridiculously quickly this ‘love’ story has been sped along. Luckily it wasn’t ALL about Brill, there was also an extremely amusing scene where an extremely steamed Liam went toe to toe with Quinn.
I’m still wondering what Quinn expected to get out of baking Liam alive in the steam room (instead of being at the meeting) and basically threatening to kill him. Liam has already shown he doesn’t give a rat’s ass about Quinn’s opinion and all her antics have done is make him convinced she’ll be the mother-in-law from hell. That alone gives Liam reason to not give up on Hope, so all Cray Cray Fuller has done is make him MORE determined. Good grief, I thought she was smarter than that.
I loved the scene even though it felt like stupid dialogue from Quinn. Yes, I locked you in the steam room, no, you aren’t going to end up with Hope, my son’s better than you, you’re a wuss… blah, blah, blah. It was nothing new. The rage from Liam, however, was. This little stunt Quinn pulled just proved to Liam how dangerous she is, but I just can’t understand why he hasn’t called the cops yet. Telling her he will do it next time is a lame cop-out by the writers. There’s NO way someone does that to me and I don’t take immense joy in getting them arrested. No. Way.
Last week we watched Bill and Ridge try to out testosterone each other. Naturally, the minute Ridge tells Bill NOT to marry Brooke, what does he do? Propose. Even I saw that coming, so I have no idea how Ridge wouldn’t have. We all knew the proposal was coming, but I didn’t expect Brooke to be late to an ‘important meeting’ just because her lover summoned her to his office. *eye roll*
What does intrigue me is Brooke’s reaction. She supposedly fought this undeniable attraction to Bill for weeks before succumbing to the size of his manhood and was willing to sacrifice her sister’s family and her relationship with her sister just to get some of that, but now, I have to wonder if part of Bill’s lure was that he was forbidden fruit. It would explain why Brooke always wants what someone else has. So, there she is, being proposed to by the ‘man of her dreams’ (supposedly) and how does she react? Tepidly.
“You’ve been so loyal and so committed, the least I could do is commit myself to you for the rest of our lives.”
That’s the least romantic thing I’ve ever heard. Basically Bill’s a loyal dog with a big… bone and therefore deserves Brooke’s acceptance of his marriage proposal.
I’ve seen Brooke after getting proposed to when she truly, wholeheartedly wants to marry the man in question. This is not that Brooke. There was no joy at all. Just relaxed contentment at best. Bill is definitely second choice for her and while she’ll settle for what he has to give, he does not have her heart.
“I have never trusted anybody the way I trust you.”
How lame is that when you consider how much Eric has done for her? I’m just sitting here, rolling my eyes continuously at the blatant foreshadowing going on. *sigh*
Brooke sped over to Forrester to show off her ring and wouldn’t you know that the reaction was significantly different than the one that Ridge got. Where Ridge was all chilly silence and shock, Brooke got warmth, pats on the back and a champagne toast. I was highly amused to hear Donna ask if it was the same ring in a room full of people that don’t actually know Brooke was engaged to Bill while he was still her sister’s husband. The expression on Brooke’s face as she shushed her cracked me up. Apparently Brooke doesn’t really want that particular cat out of the bag. I guess she doesn’t want to lose her sympathy edge for Katie having had the balls to get engaged first.
Quinn was upset, but tried to cover it, which was mostly a fail when Wyatt asked her if she was going to congratulate Brooke – in front of everyone. Seriously, dude? He knows she has feelings for Bill and instead of letting her quietly stay unnoticed, he put her on the spot? That was just wrong. After Quinn tried to gracefully recover from her less than gracious gut reaction, Hope pulled Brooke aside for a moment.
“Wow. Are you happy? I mean, is this what you want?”
See? Even Hope picked up on the less than joyous body language.
“Of course. Bill has been wonderful and he’s so loyal.”
I said it before and I’ll say it again. This is NOT how Brooke acts when she’s in love and engaged to the man of her dreams. This is Brooke settling for ‘good enough for Katie’ because she can’t have the man she REALLY wants.
Once the celebration was over we got treated to how Wyatt and Hope spend their work days (Seriously, this split time thing works out way in his favor). I can’t figure out why Wyatt doesn’t view working with Hope as his ‘date’ time since all he and Hope really do is kiss and talk about their parents while at work. Anyway, I’m still trying to figure out why Hope is even remotely supporting Bill being with her mom, knowing what he did to Katie and her mom recently. Considering how nasty he’s been to Hope in the past, Katie recently, and the fact that his recent actions proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he will hurt Brooke willingly to get what he wants without a second thought, you’d think Hope (and Brooke) would have some serious reservations. But hey, maybe that thought process is just a little too sensible for Hope or Brooke these days.
“There’s no denying how he treats her.”
Oh, you mean aside from breaking up with her so he could abuse her sister’s trust and use her sexually to get what he wanted before kissing Brooke’s ass again to get back in her good graces? Yeah, whatever. From there they segued to how they thought everyone was going to take the news and I had to agree with Hope when she said Ridge was going to take it very poorly, but she had a feeling it wasn’t jealousy this time but instead about RJ.
“I think for Ridge, Bill would be the last person Ridge would want to be RJ’s step dad.”
Amusingly, Wyatt actually took some offense because Hope said she understood why Ridge would feel that way. I have to wonder if Wyatt actually knows all of the nasty things Bill did to Hope or if Hope has just blamed everything on Steffy specifically with a vague ‘Bill sucks, too’ in there. I’d have to think that of he was aware of the events, he’d have made it clear at the end of the conversation he was just teasing her about being offended (even slightly) instead of making her feel like she was putting her foot in her mouth. The scene was cute, I’ll give them both that, even if I don’t think Hope should ever have to feel like she has to justify her negative feelings about Bill.
While Hott was kissing in the office, Liam filled his dad in on what Quinn had done and what does Bill do? Nothing. He had about a minute of irritation at the woman before declaring that he wasn’t going to let anything ruin his day. Seriously? The woman just committed assault against his first son, but that doesn’t matter because Bill is going to go get married because Ridge told him not to.
Sometimes I feel like I’m writing about a bunch of kindergarteners misbehaving in the sandbox. *head… desk*
Bill told Liam about the engagement and Liam, once again, was extremely excited for his old man (Hey, Bill, that’s how you’re supposed to act when family is happy) before the conversation shifted to Ridge and his dislike of Bill being RJ’s step dad.
“If Forrester’s really the Mr. Sensitive that he purports himself to be, then he’s going to deal with this and be happy for Brooke.”
Right, because in Bill’s mind being sensitive and caring means being a doormat who bows to everyone else. Keep dreaming, Mr. Gelding.
Right then, Ridge was walking into Eric’s office where Brooke was conveniently alone. The ring was spotted almost instantly and, naturally, since this came on the heels of him telling Bill he didn’t want him anywhere near RJ, he was none too pleased. Brooke, who still can’t even muster fake joy over the engagement basically told him, “So what do you expect me to do? Be alone while you marry Katie?” Um yes. Be alone until something better comes along. Good grief. Be a mom, put your kids first. Of course, this is Brooke and that’s out of the question.
I both shook my head and laughed when Brooke LET Ridge take her ring off of her finger. In case no one’s tried it, have a friend, sister, cousin or kid try to take off a ring you’re wearing and see just how easy it is to foil their attempt by simply bending your finger a tiny bit or heck, yanking your hand away. Brooke didn’t even TRY, she just watched him slide it off. Yup, she really, REALLY loves Bill. Really.
Ridge told Brooke that while they can’t be a couple anymore, he still loved her and wanted the best for her, but Bill wasn’t it. The aging siren retaliated with seriously lackluster defenses while looking completely miserable. Honestly, even Brooke sounds like she knows she’s lying about her happiness level.
“He’s a wonderful person. There’s no woman lurking around the corner. No Taylor or no Caroline. No private poetry readings with my sister. It’s all about me.”
God, how self-centered can she sound?
First. Caroline was there first. She wasn’t ‘lurking around a corner’ because Brooke was the one consistently trying to keep them apart. Brooke was also married to Eric, with a baby, when Taylor and Ridge got married and from then until 2006 it was Brooke lurking around the corner trying to break Tridge up. For 18 years, Brooke was the interloper lurking in the wings, it’s only been the past 8 years that have had Bridge written as the legendary love affair with the others being rewritten as angst in their relationship.
Second. Only Brooke could set the bar for the man she’s with being a ‘wonderful person’ at ‘there’s no one else lurking in his heart.’ Lame and pathetic. She’s a parent and sister and after all the things this man did to hurt her family, he still rates as a ‘wonderful person.’ She needs some serious therapy.
Third. Yes, it is about Brooke. At least she’s got that right because the only person in this entire equation she’s concerned about is herself. She’s definitely not upset that her fiance is gong into their marriage thinking that RJ needs to be changed and altered while being taught ‘manly’ ways. He’s ten, for goodness sake, and from all we’ve seen, he’s a great kid. Brooke needs to get her head out of her panties.
It’s absolutely clear that Brooke’s still in love with Ridge, never more so than when he told her that he wanted to make sure she was on the right path in life while she was talking about Bill and she told him how great her relationship was and how she was on the right path while crying and looking absolutely miserable.
While Brooke was crying over her happy news, *eye roll* Quinn was busy trying to sex up Bill at his office. I’m sorry, but when a woman walks into a man’s office in a sexy trench and starts slowly unbuttoning it, proclaiming that she’s his ‘bachelor party’, she really needs to be wearing very little under it, not a perfectly decent (albeit sexy in a non revealing way) black top and leather skirt.
As with when Steffy was trying to sex him up (after she succeeded in doing so the first time and getting Forrester back), Bill’s vocab was saying he wasn’t interested very clearly and succinctly and Quinn was having none of it because his eyes were saying something else entirely. Instead, she smirked at him and told him no woman excited him like she did (honestly I’m beginning to get the feeling that every woman he isn’t committed to excites him much like every powerful man who belongs to someone else excites Brooke).
“What I want from you, I don’t want from Brooke.”
Naturally, Quinn heard the fact that he wanted her and threw the rest away and Bill in one of his rare moments of being both tactful and truthful admitted he did, but only because any red-blooded male would. That didn’t change anything for him, though, because he was still insisting he wasn’t going to do anything about it. Oddly enough for Bill, he told Quinn he didn’t care if he ended up looking stupid, marrying Brooke was worth it.
Ridge dropped by to see Bill and return the ring he doesn’t want Brooke to have, stonily tossing it into Bill’s waiting hands. I really wish he’d walked in on Quinn trying to seduce Bill. That would have been fun. Oh well.
“Well at least you let her keep her finger.”
Bill… Bill… Bill… *head pat* That’s cute and implies there was a struggle of any kind to keep the ring ON her finger… and we all know there wasn’t.
“You’re not marrying Brooke.”
Good grief, Ridge. Smarten up. Bill doesn’t take orders any better than Ridge does. Bill wasn’t acting any smarter, though, with his asking Ridge if he’d drugged Brooke to get the ring. The idea was ridiculous and laughable since it’s been all of what? An hour? Two at most since the proposal? Even more amusing is Bill thinking this ring means something more to Brooke than any of the others she’s got in her jewelry box. She has enough of them, including Stephanie’s, which has been noticeably absent since Brooke got knocked up by the Spencer Gelding.
Bill proved he knows very little about his future wife while he was trying to raz Ridge about how he knew this would be Ridge’s reaction. According to Billy-boy, Ridge likes to break up with Brooke, wait until she finds another man and then start whispering ‘destiny garbage’ in her ear. Erm. No. That might have happened when Nick and Ridge were vying for Brooke’s oft-given hand-in-marriage, but other than that, Brooke’s always been the one whispering ‘destiny garbage’ in Ridge’s or whichever man she was lusting after/in ‘love’ with at the moment in order to get them away from their wives.
“Now she has someone who loves her for just who she is.”
And who doesn’t see her clearly at all. Bill’s actively lying to himself or putting blinders on where Brooke is concerned, and I can only guess it’s because he wants to believe she would only have betrayed her sister for a love that would last the ages and was unrivaled in her lifetime. Hey, Bill? Go talk to Deacon, Eric and Nick about how that goes, okay? Betraying female family members that love her with the men they love is what she does, it has nothing to do with the depth of her… ‘love’ for the man.
“She should be with someone who loves her. Who is worthy of her and who is worthy of my son. That’s not you.”
Here, here (at least for the son part). Unfortunately, Ridge chose to ridicule Bill’s fashion choices (although in an awesomely humorous way) and having head shots of himself behind his desk instead of delving in deep about Bill’s character. Ridge has way less superficial reasons to not want this man anywhere near his son and I wish he’d touched on them.
Here are the reasons we know that Ridge has to hate Bill and not want him to be RJ’s step dad:
Bill ‘stole’ Eric’s company by bribing bankers.
Bill ‘used’ (from a father’s perspective) Steffy and made her promises that he broke.
Steffy was distraught after their break up and drank some wine before taking a bath where she slipped and hit her head on the tub’s edge. She would have died had Liam not pulled her out of the bath and given her CPR.
Bill began an affair with his wife’s sister while she was mentally ill, blamed her for it and continued the emotional affair for months after claiming he wasn’t interested in doing so.
Bill put Liam in a choke hold at wedding (where Ridge was present) and dragged him out of the room.
Ridge knows Bill somehow illegally got a convicted murderer (Deacon) released from prison just to ruin Hope’s wedding.
Bill’s been consistently shady in his business and personal dealings and Ridge (and everyone else) is aware of that.
Now, that’s just what we KNOW he knows on screen.
We, the viewers, also know of a litany of other crimes Bill hasn’t been punished for and that Ridge may not know about (but Katie does). Such as Bill locking Katie in a tower, paying a doctor to lie to Steffy and her family about Steffy having a serious brain injury that could kill her, seducing Katie and using her foully to get her to sign those papers (emotional abuse and contract fraud at the very least), Bill driving drunk just to ‘teach Katie a lesson’ and hitting Brooke with his car, Bill letting Brooke lie to the police to cover his ass about his DUI and accident, etc and so on.
“You have a toy sword hanging from around your neck. It’s ridiculous and my son is not going to take life lessons from a cartoon character.”
Oh. My. God. Best line of the day in my opinion. I laughed way too long over that one. This next gem from Bill was almost as funny, but more from a ‘you’re a moron’ perspective.
“Just what is your definition of a man? I can’t imagine how you can even call yourself one. Just a little boy. A man gives his word and keeps it. He lives by it. A man is loyal.”
Loyal like when Bill kept his wedding vows? Oh, wait… nope. Like when Bill kept his word to Steffy? Oh, wait… nope. Like when he swore to Katie that he meant it when he said he loved her and wanted his wife and family back? Oh, wait… NOPE. I do not think that word means what he thinks it means.
Loyal like Bill… in other words only when it’s convenient and doesn’t get in the way of something he wants. I absolutely loved it when Ridge threw Bill’s own manhood under the bus based on his own definitions including loyalty.
“So you get to pick and choose when to be a man because with Katie…”
Zing!!! Bill, slimy hypocrite that he’s become these days, tried to weasel out of that, but he forgets, Ridge knows him better than he thinks. They may not be mentioning Steffy’s name right now, but it’s looming large for those of us that watched Still ignite our screens.
Bill spent some time redirecting Ridge’s attention to what a great role model he will be for ‘their’ son – as his, Brooke’s and Ridge’s. Yeah, I can’t possibly see why Ridge would have an issue with such a scheming two-faced snake in the grass being his son’s role model. No, really. Totally escapes me. Of course that conversation erupted in a fist fight that Brooke walked in on.
All that Brooke showing up accomplished was for her to separate the two boys, have Ridge call Bill a buffoon again, Bill tell Ridge he’s an abuser and Brooke to once again ‘stand by her man’ even when Ridge reminded her of RJ. Once Ridge walked out, Brooke soothed poor Bill’s poor little ego before announcing that work didn’t matter and they should totally take their romantic trip to Dubai after once again telling Bill how nice it is to be the only woman in his life.
I do get tired of Brooke telling everyone who will listen that there was ‘always another woman with Ridge’. I guess she’s forgotten how many times Taylor and Caroline were dead, leaving Ridge free, but she chose to make Ridge compete against other men instead of enjoying that ‘destiny’ time?
I will say that I finally saw a brief glimmer of excitement and happiness over the Dubai trip when she found out they’d be getting married there. I’m just not sure if it was real or fake considering the lackluster reaction up till that point.
Donna and Katie had a heart to heart where Donna spilled the beans about Bill and Brooke being engaged. Katie was noticeably saddened by the news, and who wouldn’t be? The thing I do not understand here is why no one is bringing up the fact that Brill had been engaged before. It feels like we’re supposed to ignore how Brill started and all the things that came before Katie ‘fainting’ at the wedding.
In response to Donna wondering if their family will ever be the same, Katie commented that while time might heal the wounds, she didn’t believe their rift was repairable after what Brooke had done with the papers. Donna turned around and, in a very passive aggressive manner, implied that Katie was competing against Brooke to even the score. I’m trying to figure out how Brooke’s using the papers didn’t one up her to Katie, but somehow Donna didn’t even see them as mattering… only the men do. So once Katie had Ridge it was supposed to be even, but now that Brooke’s engaged to Bill, she’s got one up on Katie, so Katie is clearly trying to fix that now by being unforgiving, according to the middle Logan. By my count that’s +4 for Brooke (of course, I include being pregnant with Bill’s baby while he was married to Katie as 1 as well).
Their conversation ended abruptly with Katie being miffed (who could blame her), and the next time we saw her, Ridge was walking in, missing a button from his tussle with Bill. Katie took the news about the fight rather well even though she was dismissing Ridge’s concerns at first.
“He has no ethics.”
True.
“Brooke’s a big girl. She knows what he’s capable of and she doesn’t care.”
Okay, she’d finally gotten the idea and at least she wasn’t jealous, but why couldn’t she focus on the RJ part and not the Brooke part? It’s true that Ridge not liking Bill wouldn’t get him full custody of RJ. What would get him full custody of RJ is how abusive and corrupt Bill has been in recent years and the fact that Brooke knows all about it, but is choosing to ignore it in favor or a wedding band and bed.
Ridge had an excellent point about how Brooke marrying Bill sets a bad example for RJ considering everything that has happened in recent years. Even if RJ won’t know right now, I’m sure he’ll hear the rumors or he’ll have his own version of Hope (who told Aly about Taylor) to out all of Brill’s dirty laundry at school.
The next day, Brooke dropped by Katie’s to make sure she knew about the boys fighting the day before as well to gloat and tell her that she’d be getting married first on a romantic trip to Abu Dhabi. Katie was the bigger person to even imply to Donna that time might cure their issues. As far as I’m concerned, I’m good having Katie tolerate a teary Brooke for the rest of their lives if that means Brooke actually gets consequences.
We couldn’t have Brooke run off to elope with Bill without her literally running into Ridge as she left Katie’s house. The thing is, the writers were just repeating things they’d already said and I get it. It’s for dramatic effect and foreshadowing, but it’s getting old. I did love how hard Ridge tried to make Brooke understand that she can’t just discard all of the horrible things Bill’s done and decide she’s immune to ever being the recipient of that cruelty. Obviously, Brooke wasn’t going to listen to him, but it was lovely that he tried.
It was also wonderful how Ridge went to find Katie afterwards and they had an adult and considerate conversation about his worries and fears and Katie tried very hard to make him understand that he couldn’t save Brooke from herself only try to protect RJ from the fall out. I love how grown up this relationship seems, especially when compared to the rest on our screens right now.
The Dubai elopement really was a whirlwind trip. It was apparently only one day between announcing it was happening to executing the plans. Brooke rushed onto the plane like the flames of hell were licking at her feet (she’s marrying Bill, so maybe they are) and they had a couple of cute moments as she calmed down and tried to catch her breath. I really can’t stand this couple, especially the way they happened, but it was nice to see Brooke look like she actually wanted to be on that plane instead of the teary, morose and brooding looks she’s had since getting engaged.
“This is the happiest I’ve been in a very long time.”
Either she’s lying to herself or she’s lying to Bill because she was supposedly happier than ever when she was walking down the aisle towards the man she’d convinced to marry her by holding his son hostage. *shrugs*
“The only thing more beautiful, more breathtaking than where we’re getting married, will be my incredibly magnificent bride.”
That was a very suave compliment from Bill and just for a moment, Brooke actually LOOKED unbelievably happy. Maybe Bill was right and she just needed to get away in order to be excited about their relationship. We shall see. I know this couple has supporters, so for their sake, I hope so. That doesn’t mean I don’t expect Brooke to bail on him the minute she finds out about Quinn – because he lied to her again, not because of the sex. There’s been way too much emphasis places on how ‘honest’ Billy-boy is with her.
I got a little bit ill at all of the talk of how Brooke’s a princess and princesses are born not made and blah, blah, blah, ending in how they are going to have a royal wedding because… you guessed it, they’re royalty. *rolls eyes* It never fails that their cooing goes overboard and just makes me wish I could FF them.
While planning to whisk Brooke away, Bill apparently had another sword necklace made up and sent to RJ at his boarding school. His giving RJ that sword wouldn’t have pissed me off nearly as much if he didn’t know that every time Ridge saw it, it would upset him. He basically just told the boy he’s a Spencer and he admitted to Justin that part of his motive for the gift was to stick it to Ridge. That’s a horrible thing to do to a kid. He just deliberately put that boy in the middle of a war and made him a pawn. As a parent of a blended family, such a gift should be a beautiful way of bringing families together, not a way to further divide one.
His line to RJ during the video conference about how he was now part of an exclusive club (and he noticeably deliberately excluded RJ’s father) because the necklace was one of four of a kind was utter bullshit. He and Wyatt have originals and Liam and RJ have knock-offs. Period.
When RJ video called his dad a little later to talk about his day at school, Ridge saw his son wearing the sword necklace and asked him what he was wearing. To give him credit he managed to sound curious rather than pissed.
“My sword necklace. Mr. Spencer gave it to me.”
I just have to ask… why the hell is RJ calling his uncle Mr. Spencer? Bill was married to his aunt for many years (for this soap), so why wouldn’t it be Uncle Bill? That’s just bizarre.
“He said I should wear it with pride. Spencer pride.”
This is where Thorsten Kaye’s amazing ability to convey emotions without saying a word comes in. I was extremely impressed with how perfectly he portrayed a father who was absolutely livid, but needed to suppress the emotion so his child wouldn’t see it. That takes talent and TK has it in spades. Spencer pride? That boy’s a Forrester, no matter who his step dad is.
Back at Forrester, Wyatt and Quinn shared a few mother-son bonding moments where Quinn finally revealed that while she hadn’t been foolish enough to actually fall in love (I don’t think she’s ever fallen OUT of love with him in spite of everything), she still felt something. When Wyatt asked her why she hadn’t jumped in the pool while he had been in between Katie and Brooke, I saw Quinn look truly lost for a moment when she admitted she’d tried and it hadn’t worked out.
I’ve enjoyed Quinn, loved to hate her sometimes, rolled my eyes at the over the top momma bear crap, laughed along with everyone at her sharp and pointed verbal repartee, but I don’t think I’ve ever really connected to her as a person before. I did at that moment, at that moment I felt truly sorry for her, especially seeing how old Wyatt is and how many years she lost loving someone who had done to her what Bill had done. When she spoke about how every woman wants to be wanted and she fell for that occasionally, but worked hard to get over it, I saw the wound inside. Quinn fell in love and her lover hurt her badly and threw her and the possibility of their child away and she’s never gotten over it enough to let anyone else in. It’s so very sad. The writing for her was brilliant this week. Don’t get me wrong, I still think she’s crazy, but now she’s not just fun to watch, now she’s someone I resonate with on an emotional level. At least a little bit.
When Wyatt revealed that Brooke and Bill were eloping, Quinn went straight into meddling and self-preservation flew out the window for once. Once she’d determined she needed to save Bill from himself, she even ignored Wyatt’s warning about Brooke being one of their employers. Full steam ahead, and for once I am completely behind her.
“If I have the power to stop him from making a big mistake, why shouldn’t I use it?”
Oh please, use it. We’ve all been waiting for their little sexcapades to be revealed. I need for the illusion Brooke has built around Bill to be shattered. Neither Bill nor Brooke see each other for who they truly are and I can’t wait for reality to set in.
Even better was Wyatt’s worry that Quinn was up to no good. It’s about time he actually stressed what his mother was capable of since he hasn’t seemed to care a whole lot when she was aiming that crazy intensity at Liam. I was snickering as Wyatt pulled at his hair in frustration as his mother evaded his questions.
There were several Hott and Lope scenes and even some Hope, Liam and Wyatt scenes sprinkled in this week where the end result was the two boys standing in front of Hope’s desk, vying for attention while she told them both (from behind her desk) that she would make a decision soon and it would be the best thing for them all. Whatever. Who cares at this point?
I guess next week we’ll get some more beautiful location shoots and get to see just what kind of trouble Ridge and Quinn manage to cause for the eloping couple. Personally, I hope it’s a lot!
Pet Peeve Of the Week: That the writers think that it’s entertaining for us to watch Hope go from kissing one brother to kissing the next within minutes of each other. I’m sorry, but this isn’t compelling TV to me.
