Over to TBATB correspondent Daisy for what’s been happening with the Forresters:
It’s a good time for a new B&B thread. Old stories are closing and new ones are beginning. The mystery of “Who shot Quinn”, has been solved, and in spite of the many suspects and possibilities, it was Deacon, who is now back in the slammer. Will they ask him, “Where have you been?” since he is an escapee; the one no one ever looked for, it seems. We have a new villain Sheila, possibly to take over from Katy so that she can go back to playing a wishy-washy victim. Quidge are heating up again, with lust blossoming to love. Will Ridge lose interest now that the L word has been used? Afterall, their passion has been built on a foundation of mutual despising. On the subject of Quidge, Charleee has dropped the ball. Whatever happened to the hanky with the lipstick? And why doesn’t Charleee have any cop friends who could have done a DNA check?
There is a new twist in the Avant plot line, and it’s about time. As we all predicted from the moment she agreed to carry a child for Maya and Rickk, Nicole now wants her baby back, so the loving bond between sisters is now going to turn into some major soap brawling, and bawling. Sides will be taken as the Forresters waste office hours discussing the ins and outs of the Maya-Rick-Nicole triangle. Quadrangle if you include Zende.
Brooke and Bill are honeymooners now and begin their new life together. I will give that a couple of weeks. Wyatt has finally accepted his receding hairline and agreed to wear a bit of a rug. Liam and Stephie are going well, especially as Liam is happy to listen to her bitch about Sally Spectra. Sally has gone straight, but I bet Sol isn’t. Why no gays in this show? Oh yeah, Caroline’s invisible mums. Gays are covered.
Coco is as riveting as wilted spinach. Her roles are mainly filler ATM. Sally and Thomas are going great guns, with Thomas giving her, and her business makeovers she hadn’t requested. Did she even notice his control?
I will leave it there, as a caffé latté awaits me. I look forward to the chats we will have as Eric finds he’s been cucked, and Sheila turns her venom on her rival, Quinn.
Thanks, daisy.
Maya and Rick aren’t happy campers. Nicole’s not signing and Mr Avant has stuck his nose in, too.
Sisters hey. I know how they feel. I got home once to find my sister had been using my eye-shadow. It was tense for awhile but eventually I forgave her. Let’s hope Nicole and Maya can work it out too. Perhaps Sarsha can go surrogate for Nicole and Zende. She would want to do it the old fashioned way though.
I love how Rick is using the butter her up method, and both are pretending not to realize where this is heading. I am just waiting for Papa Avant to stick his nose in.
Rick’s trying to butter up Zende and prophesies that he’ll have “two or three” kids with Nicole. That won’t be happening.
What was once, “No pressure Nicole”, is now, “Hurry up”.
Ooops, Coconut is already blabbing. That was the shortest kept secret conversation ever.
Why aren’t Rick and Maya having a go at Carter for his crap legal work. Carter just waltzes in without hanging his head between his jonglees.
Just some measly “clerical errors”. Enough to put a thousand yard stare on Mr Avant.
Well done Daisy x
😊
Thomas is shirtless for the whole episode. “Chiselled superhero” time.
Nicole isn’t signing,despite massive efforts from Rick and Zende. Cos’ little Lizzie called her “Mama”. This is going to be milked. Mr Avant doesn’t want her to sign.
Thomas looks like a carrot. He really needs to stop tanning and working out. Those muscles are seriously ugly. Thomas is going to have to install a gym at Specs because writers can’t keep using the heatwave excuse to show off his pecs.
And there is the new name for Thomas; Spec’s pecs.
And sprayed damp😀
No way Zende. That’s low, pressuring Nicole.
Zende should have used a gun to “persuade”Nicole, since they are forgivable to use on B&B. Nicole has been miserable since way before all of this Paris stuff happened, now Zende is rubbing salt into the wounds. Great “designing” from him.
RJ isn’t shaving yet but up to his neck in adult issues. Dr Phil warns about doing that to kids all the time.
Bloody Zende saying they would have to give up their comfy life if Nicole kept the baby. Woolif was initially team Maya until I reminded him how she and Rick had manipulated and guilt tripped Nicole into surrogacy with all their, saint Nicole talk.
More topless Thomas.
Nicole is holding out and started a big feud with Rick, Maya, Zende and Mr Avant all insulting each other. To Mr Avant the clerical error is a cosmic mistake. Much shouting and blaming.
Maya’s look at the end ott.
Maya looks vicious.
I can’t understand Thomas falling so much for Sally – to me she looks dirty and scruffy. Must be the hair it doesnt match the complexion!. We redheads have very pale skin and not black eyebrows😀
The steamy heatwave scenes are no Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. More like stray cats in an alley.
Not feeling it with Thomas or Sally. He looks pudgy and overbloated with muscle.
Kindly Eric has given Katie a job at Forrester’s ~ in marketing. Quinn’s livid but not showing it.
Sheila runs into Brooke at the local snake pit. Then Charlie and Pam walk in and start blabbing about Quidge. Sheila hears it all.
Trouble ahead.
Pam and Charlee aren’t good at whispering in public places. Or does Sheila have bionic ears. She sure has a bionis glare.
Charlee and Pam would be great at Chinese whispers. You can hear them all the way at the end of the line.
Sheila’s upgraded her bionic glare for the finale today. Eric of course was a fool to let her in the door .
Wyatt and Katie could be getting it on soon.
Liam and Steffy are having some down time. Rivetting conversation.
You’ll see Sheila aim her bionic glare at the portrait of Quinn over the Forrester hearth. After all those murder attempts, Sheila now just wants what’s best for Eric. People can change in LA.
Tequila makes it all okay between Quidge. Friends.
Terrible episode today, but we could see Katie get it on with her stepson!
Yep, a real snooze fest.
Eric said it was inappropriate for Sheila to turn up to question his marriage. More like scary, especially with her two glass eyes. Oh oh. “don’t touch me”. Oooooh. I just saw the end. It’s the haunting hour. I think Sheila really died in prison and this is her spooky ghost.
Imagine a screen shot of that glare staring down from the hearth.
If yesterday’s episode was terrible……..
Mr Avant is ruling the roost. More big ideas from Katie.
Bloody hell. So Rick, Maya, Zende and the mum all rush over to see Nicole to stop the Dad from pressuring her. Isn’t that 4 × the pressure? Reminds me of Lee in last years Survivor. Stop pressuring what’s her name. Only I am allowed to do that.
Katy is on the phone to Wyatt right now, hoping to suck Wyatt’s brain some more. She should remove his rug first.
A feast of bad acting in store. Tissues ready, daisy.
It’s a message from the heavens.Will Nicole sign?
What a lot of baaaaad acting – overdone by Katie and Wyatt. Wont be long before they visit Bill’s love cupboard.
I was greatly moved by Nicole’s tears. She drew on her acting classes to look concerned. But with tears. Now that should have been an opportunity for some great acting, and anyone who watches Dr Phil knows, they would have been shouting over the top of each other, not taking turns for their lines.
The trick to manipulating Nicole is to treat her like a noble saint. And very cunning of Maya to take Lizzie out of the room so Nicole wouldn’t feel the pull of motherhood.
Haaa haaa. The writers ran out of partners for Katy and Wipes. Now is that shades of Oedipus, or Salome who danced for her step father, and asked for John the Baptiste’s head on a plate. Or just shades of beige. Forresters need an update on their sexual harrassment policy because I don’t think little Arjay is supposed to be using his position to hit on little Coconut. In fact there are a few positions that have been abused.
Speaking of…..aaaaah! Harry! Get off Maggie! (I am not kidding). God, I am going to have to stop watching B&B with the doglets in the room. It’s giving them ideas. “Not in MY loungeroom, thankyou very much”. No more bones for you two.
Now I know what these two are doing when I’m at pottery.
Wonder when young Will will arrive from boarding school aged 15
Just keep hand feeding Eric champagne and caviar and he’ll never cotton on. Don’t let him near the piano, either or reminisce about Monte Carlo.
Katie’s a total fraud , using Wyatt and basking in the compliments. Will is probably cheating his way through boarding school.
If the febrile Forresters got dogs they’d know in advance when Sheila is going to drop in and drop bombshells she’s eavesdropped at the pub and embellished. I expect her to pull a seduction routine on confidential Charlie , too.
Sheila’s not fond of that portrait over the mantel. Revolving portrait, that is.
The loose-lipped Head of Securitycan afford to eat at Giodarnos.
Here’s the death stare. She could join the mole people.
Sure looks like she’s changed since prison, then.
Charlie should get the sack, the blabbermouth.
Leaves his gun lying around and now this.
Why didn’t he supply the indifferent, but caring stranger the code to the Forrester security system?
Quinn is already feeding Eric his dried crackers and old people’s soup.
Great photos, daisy.
Thanks, but unlike Katy, I can’t steal the credit. It’s Quinn. She has great photo in her dna.
Also, I can’t completely lose the reflection.
Eric tells Quinn she deserves all the love she can get, so no problem there.
Eric’s been watching The Bachelor to say that.
Oh yeah. It’s Bachelor break-up 101.
“Answer me, Charlie!”
Riotous entertainment. Worst calendar shoot of all time. Katie’s taken all the credit for it. Sally and Thomas spy on it…..who knows why
Thomas might be becoming a Spectra.
Good Lord. Time Charlee took his meds.
Haha. The fashion shoot. Everyone’s a model.
Eric’s been told the Quidge news and broken an expensive glass. Sheila ‘s blabbed already.
Spectra v Forrester feud upcoming again.
Very tacky and cheesy photo shoot. Oh what? A fashoff. Or is it a flashoff.
You’d think Charlie would be on duty at the fashion shoot but no…. up to no good with Sheila.
Why no bare chested Thomas at the fashoff? Fail.
Steffi knows FC will get flogged at the Monte Carlo gig.
Pam took Cherrrrlee’s balls ages ago, and now he needs them. Can’t even say Sheila has got him by the balls because they are long gone.
But wait, Pam said he is willing to don a pair of tights. Well that would prove if he had balls or not.
Pensive Eric has flashbacks of his wedding. And Sheila sees Quinn gesticulating with Ridge.
You deserve all the love you can find in this world, Eric…..but you’re going to need a Scotch in a plastic glass next time.Best go cool off in that outdoor shower that started this whole mess.
That’s done it.
BTW, why have the Forresters never been robbed? They are easy targets for home invasion.
The Forresters seem unaware of current social problems, since they never watch TV or read. Steffi has over 100,000 followers online and yet not one is a deranged stalker( in LA) type who could just waltz into FC and steal her underwear, for example.
No watch dogs? What are they thinkin’ ?
Charlie’s a major liability.
In fact no one ine B&B even has a dog? But then they don’t have maids to clean up the dog poop.
Pam has a dog called “Tiny”, Doberman, I think. He’d produce large droppings, I’m sure.
Slept through today’s epeisode but I woke at the end, angry Eric was trying to throw Sheila out the door when Quidge walk in. Had the mute on, can’t help with the dialogue.
Bit of RJ and Coco, plus Thomas and Sally gibbering among some terrible decor.
Yep, Coconut and Arjay would have put you back to sleep. Blaah blaah, blaah.
Terrible, hammy acting and stupid faces from Sally.
We had fashoff, but Eric and Sheila were having a steely glareoff. Eric spent 30 minutes telling Sheila to get out. She didn’t budge, and he didn’t call security to have her thrown out. Oh. That would be Charlee.
Quinn and Ridge kept repeating the same lines. They need to sit tight. Eric won’t believe the rumours. Now, where’s that winch to get Sheila out of the house?
Better you had your sleep, Dave.
BTW Arjay, buying tiny string bikinis for the cadets to wear probably constitutes sexual harrassment when you are the boss’s son. Little Arjay knows his sleaze.
RJ won’t be buying any bikinis for a while. Don’t take selfies , text and drive , you teenage fools.
Eric’s been hit by a ton of betrayal bricks. Great acting from Quinn. They were just “moments” . Sheila won’t leave and throws in her two bob’s worth.
” Mortified”.
We see Brooke in a bikini , canoodling with Dollar Bill.
Sheila had front row seats for the big reveal.
And Bill had the dress circle.
So glad I don’t date. You would get selfie wrist.
Forgiving Eric, the “most forgiving person Sheila knows” (a few days ago) doesn’t even get all the infornation or take time to process it before telling Quinn it’s over.
Sheila doesn’t need tbeir permission to be part of their lives. She must have her own keys to the house…or perhaps Charlie gave her a set.
I watched it all again this morning. How did Eric manage an enormous company for so long, being like that?
Don’t need keys, the doors are never locked
Someone’s also always outside the door, listening.
Eric was punching above his weight with Quinn. Now Sheila can pounce on her mouse. And Cheeerlleee can congratulate himself for helping. I hope Pam dumps him…or else takes him for a country drive on a winding road and takes selfies and texts.
I think Quinn is going to be dumped,while Eric will fall for that vulture Sheila because she’s the only one who told him about the “affair”. Someone clean up the glass that Eric smashed ,please.
Ridge and Brooke will bond again over little Arjay’s tragedy.
Yes. Charlie’s up to his neck in this mess.
Ahhh, good attention to detail on the broken glass, BDD.
Will little Coconut own up to her crime? Yes, Ridge and Quinn will bond, but does that spell then end of Quidge.
Forgiving Eric is in the clutches of a villain who is going to make Quinn look like a little lamb.
Quinn;s been thrown out. Ridge is there to comfort her.
Eric’s disappeared. I’m not missing him.
C’mon Eric. What’s a few clandestine kisses between your wife and son to “the most forgiving man in the world”. He’s an 80 year old with a young, beautiful, sexy wife who has her own set of s&m gear; a few kisses is a small price to pay.
The guillotine is going to fall on Coconut and Cherrrlee”.
Surprised they didn’t walk in on Sheila busy changing the portrait over the mantel already.
I thought Eric could have been upstairs , in bed with Sheila for a minute.
I expected Sheila to be waiting for Quinn to tell her that Eric was taking a nap and couldn’t be disturbed.
The LA Detectives are on to Coco. Priority case.
Who did RJ’s “injury ” make up?
I am eating scones so missed the make-up. Scones for dinner.
Anyhoo, I got a glum Coconut.
Iggy’s having a dried pig’s foot. He got/caught a piece of roast chicken for entree.
No fun being a Spectra. Where’s Grams? She’ll lighten things up.
LA Detective would love a scone.
Oink.
The LA Det’s name is actually Lieutenant Baker.
I’m watching the encore right now. It’s not a great one.
Baker.😂 At least it’s not Lt Donut (US sp), or Lt Spongefingers. People probably do have those names.
I missed a couple of episodes so missed the crash. They seem too young to be driving fancy cars but then RJ is almost running the company now so he’s probably about 25!
Coco was texting, taking selfies and driving.
RJ has a birthday every month.
Coconut was showing that her Little Miss Amish was a sweet act.
Charlie’s being blackmailed by Sheila. He’s been offered filthy lucre, too and looks like he ‘ll fall for the cash incentive.
Grams is back, interfering.
Eric and Sheila have just crossed like ships in the night. You old fool , Eric.
Grams has plan. Nooooooo. Has no one learned their lesson?
Can’t Eric afford a better hotel than where Sheila is staying? Seriously?
And Caroline, who moved to NY, blames Sally for not seeing enough of Thomas.
And all of Thomas’s drawing equipment would belong to Forrester Creations. Spectra could barely afford a sharpener.
What’s the bet Sheila starts fooling with Eric’s meds?
Sheila tried to poison him once before, so he gives her the keys to the mansion and sends her to get his meds. So decent and forgiving.
Don’t break that suitcase Eric, and drink from a glass, please. Fallen on hard times in LA. Lover to loser in the twinkle of an eye.
“Don’t touch me like that!!!!” Bad move, Quinn. Sheila’s still mad from looking at the portrait.
Couldn’t Eric hear that scary music when he bumped into Sheila. It was ” Do do, do do scary”. But stupid Eric must be deaf.
Why don’t the Forresters call in their head of security to find Eric? 😄
Spoiler alert: Bill may, or may not wear a gstring at the fashoff flashoff.
Eric, did they give you a lobotomy at that hospital? Yeah, let’s trust Sheila.
Sheila’s going to be unavailable for a while, then.
Steffi shot her. I guess she survives….for her old forgiving goat Eric.
Forresters and guns don’t mix well.
What! I watched today and didn’t see any gun shots, perhaps I turned telly off too soon.
You did. Right at the end, Steffi shot Sheila because she thought Sheila was reaching for a gun. (Quinn said she thought Sheila had a gun in her bag). Just like an LA cowboy movie, but worse.
Eric and Liam watched it all happen.
Sheila was probably reaching for Eric’s prescription but things got out of hand. Next thing Sheila’s been shot and on the floor. Fade to black.
Judge Judy admonishes, “So you thought it would be a good idea to take a knive(gun) to his place?”
We had no idea Sheila was going to get shot. Now they will feel 2x obliged; once for the false arrest and now for losing the use of her arm. She will be moved into Eric’s house for care. Like Misery but in reverse.
Omg, enter Lt Baker 😂
Eric is settling in for a good dose of Stockholm syndrome. Stephie was looking hot. She was a better shot with a tyre iron than a hand gun.
Black-eyed Sheila is out to hurt the Forresters, but did she step on a black cat, break a mirror and walk under a ladder first?
Thanks , daisy. Slept through today’s episode. Will try to catch it in the morning.
I take it Sheila’s just been winged by that bullet.
She’s tougher than Daniel Boone. (Didn’t he cut his teeth on a da da da da….I forget that song). Anyhow, if Sheila got shot in the stomache, she would take a shot of whiskey, bite on a rubber hose and remove the bullet herself. Liam would go for the needle and thread.
Now Sheila is more forgiving than Eric.
Branding iron. I just remembered, “cut his teeth on a branding iron”. And it was Pete in Fury. Ref: google for Pete.
Remember it well.
Quidge were still playing Eric Clapton. “I don’t love you and you don’t love me”.
Yes. “Promises” would be the Quidge theme song.
