To all of the Aussie Bold or Beautiful, we are now in the midst of a paternity maelstrom. Stephie is lucky it’s only a toss up between two possible fathers, but it’s painful non the less as she stands to rip apart the father and son she fought so passionately to reunite. I know you are faithful followers out there, so rather than recounting February, I will instead pose some deeply disturbing questions.
1. Where the hell was Shedevil on Christmas day. We were all expecting her to be handing out a tray of lemon bars; perhaps sent over as part of Il Geordino’s catering team. Could she have turned over a new leaf? Why has she not been over in her lingerie to collect her portrait?
2. Which room will Thorne get? Will it be the adjoining suite? And does this mean that Brooke will now have to give up hopes of marrying Ridge so that she can steal Katie’s new lover? How dare Thorne move on so quickly. Will Thorne start a new line; Katie’s bedroom line?
3. Has Katie been using her telescope to eyeball Maneo?
4. Will little Lizzie ever see Santa? Or will she be a twelve year old before she is allowed to come downstairs from napping, like an American Sleeping Beauty, to finally open her presents. It’s her second Christmas and she’s still a no show. On that, who is upstairs minding her? Where is the baby monitor? And will she be a natural fashion designer? Or top model?
5. Why couldn’t Zende afford to fly home for Christmas? And will he get Sarsha pregnant, thus rubbing salt in Nicole’s wounds. Will Nicole get so mad she has a sex change, thus giving Mr Avant back the son he lost?
6. Has Ivy refused to sleep with the writers? Or did she p*ss off Stephie by being too tall and too lovely? Or did she p*ss of Quinn for being a brunette with Elizabeth Taylor blue eyes? Rumour has it, Ivy is spreading her Aussie hopes a bit further afield in the hopes of bigger stardom. Does it even get bigger than B&B?
7. Who played footsie with who under the Christmas table? Were Donna’s legs long enough to reach the big money?
8. Will Liam quit work to play stay at home dad? And if he does, will he grow let himself go and grow a pauch like Wipe’s?
Perhaps March episodes will answer some of these perplexing questions. I am just hoping, that above all, baby Willemena is a girl and that she looks like Bill and likes steak. In spite of the doctor announcing otherwise, the biggest, most burning question of all is is Bill the daddy. Wipes will want to know if he is an uncle or if he and Liam get a new baby brother or sister. The latter will be more fun.
Daisy, at first glance I thought you had veered from soapie summation to political commentary when I read it was all about questionable paternity.
Well😱 one marriage on the rocks and then there,s Càrter wanting Maya. Can’t wait until tomorrow now that Liam knows it ws Bill.
Liam’s like a dog with a bone about “that night”…. his acting was terrible through the scene with Steffy. His fault for going through her bag.
Liam has to play “guess who it was ?”. Agonizing. Hilarious.
I thought Liam was going to throw up when he heard it was Bill.
No pressure, daisy ~ but a screen shot of that would be nice. It’s right at the end , as usual.
Bill: “Liam and Steffy must be celebrating right now”. Umm, not exactly, Bill.
Reliving the Spectra kiss, vow renewal and night at the guesthouse in one fell swoop. Liam first thought it was Wyatt, then it went downhill.
Maya rejects Carter.
What a show.
Can do Dave. After sun down for best shot. ….Sounds like a line for Sheila.
Laugh out loud. That was hilarious. I think Liam got Ross River virus.
I won’t let you down. I will definitely capture that moment when the bomb hits Liam. His finest hour. Liam will probably rush over to punch Bill. I hope Justin hangs around.
Writers are setting the stage for wounded partners to run into another lover’s arms with Nicole, Rick, Maya and Carter.
Just a little observation. Rick and Maya were going to have another baby if Nicole bore the child. Now that she isn’t doing it, they can’t be forked. So as long as it’s easy and convenient for them.
Maya and Rick borrowed Katie’s cd collection for a bit of office conferencing Forrester style.
Stephie should remind Liam that it was start afresh night, and it was his idea to absolve himself of all his sins with Sally. I guess the born again marriage was only for his benefit.
Liam’s look when Steffi said “Bill” – I thought he was going to vomit or have a stroke.
Liam earns his paycheque ! Oh the agony , Steffi has had her ecstasy with $Bill.
I haven’t been able to do Liam justice.
I couldn’t capture the shaking and stumbling.
Thanks daisy. That “World’s Greatest Dad” Oscar Liam gave Bill was a little premature.
😁 I just hope Bill’s seed goes to full term. Another little baby to lock in the Forrester baby closet.
But I got Stephie pretty good. She looks just like a woman whose husband goes through her handbage and opens her mail.
“I’ve been betraaaaayed”. Yes Liam. You most certainly have.
“Bill who?”
“Make Liam stop acting”.
“Damn! How could I have misread the signals. Now I have to go back to having no lines”.
And because she gave so many good shots….
Had to watch it again this morning. Liam’s facial contortions and shakes were so mesmerizing, I missed the schlock sound effects and muzak that went with the chickens coming home to roost.
Rick and Maya will be on the rocks soon. Good, I say.
I know. I was thinking as I looked at my pics, the only way to capture it was on video. A gif would be perfect.
I was so hoping the episode wldnt finish before she told Liam who it was. Cant wait for the fallout this afternoon.
You know how sometimes to get a person to act drunk, they give them a couple of drink, or to get a person to cry, they peel an onion. You can tell the stage hands has to kick Liam in the baubles to prise that emotion from him. Now play it again and you will see what I mean. That’s a kick to the nuts.
Liam confronting Bill should be interesting.
It was.
Oooooo. I thought Liam was going to fling Stephie away from him, thus causing her to stumble and miscarry Baby Bill.
Liam might have to roam the streets homeless and jobless for a few days now, growing a long beard and dressed in tatters, until Sally takes him in and copies his tatters for her latest collection.
For now, Liam has dumped Steffy. Bad luck, Donald Duck.
Liam and Bill end up wrestling on the floor of Bill’s office. Prior to that Liam played Bill like a violin, regurgitating Bill’s sordid history.
Katie found the huge paternity test leaflet and she’ll blab soon enough. Right now, she’s the shoulder for the nearly miscarrying Steffy to cry on.
Maybe some chest hair might stop Liam looking like a greased baby pig. Or maybe not.
Now I am recalling the bald rat.
OMG. Katy probed and all without her telescope.
Just what I thought, she had such an evil look in her eyes. Wont be long before everyone knows and there will certainly be some pillow talk with Wyatt.
Spotted in the supermarket today a mag with picture of Brooke and Ridge getting married – beats me how she has the nerve to wear a long white dress.
For sure .Katie will blab.Looks like Bill has sweet talked Liam.
Now how is that possible? “I slept with your wife, but you can have the beach house”? Or “I slept with your wife…by accident”?
“I slept with your wife because we are family”.
Where to now for Liam? Surely not to the beach house? His options are:
The French Foreign Legion
Join UNICEF
Live under a bridge
Move in with Brooke
Go to Paris to find Hope
Bill was nearly in a foetal position at the end there. Classic.
Missed a lot of today’s ep.
Liam’s gone missing. Maybe he’s unconscious on a plane to Australia.
Bill turned up at Steffy’s. She was hoping it was Liam.
Wyatt was blathering about something. I’ll watch tomorrow,
If Liam is missing, I would first check in the boot of Quinn’s car.
I saw the new Hopeless on Studio 10 this morning. Perhaps Liam has gone to Paris as was one of my theories.
The new Hope turned up today and was yapping with Brooke and Ridge.
I can see Hope bringing Doom.
Just up to the bit where Liam spills the beans to Wipes. Spilled like a clumsy worker at Heinz. Will he swear Wipes to secrecy so that Katy plays furtive and coy with Wipes, and Wipes acts all secretive with Wipes.
Now would be a good time for Katy and Wipes to come out of the Oedipus closet.
Thanks. I fell asleep just after Rick and Maya came in to see Hope had returned.
I might try to see the clumsy Heinz worker in the morn.
It was mostly very boring, Dave. Hope: “Yammer, yammer, yammer”.
Brooke and Rick: “Yammer, yammer”. All very repetitivel
And you know… I wouldn’t expect am Emmy for Liam and Wipes.
You’re telling your brother that your wife slep with your Da, but he seemed as annoyed as if he was complaining about Bill evicting him from his cushy beach house.
Watch out where you ask to hang your hat, Liam, because Thorne might have beaten you to it.
Anyway we can see that Liam will soon find hope again…or Hope again, which is a bit of an insult to Sally, who would surely expect to be Liam’s back-up.
I watched it. The agony of watching Liam and Wyatt alone in a room, trying to act. Then Bill shows up and preaches family values.
Liam and Wipes trying to act was hard to take.
Bill loved Steffi first so in his mind, that justifies what he did. What a narcissist!
New Hope looks like original Hope’s younger sister. Not the last Hope who couldn’t act. Too much HOPE!
Those Spencers are pretty messed up. Now would not be a good time for Wipes to tell Bill he’s been delivering pizza to Bill’s ex wife.
Wasn’t a great ep today. I dozed through it. Bill’s excuses are making me sick.
Take those Vitamins , Steffi.
Katy and Bill have been divorced long enough for her to sleep with his son, yet still she has nagging rights. And doesn’t she exercise them. Katy banging on is probably going to be the worst punishment Bill gets. I wonder when the big Wipes/Katy (Watey? Kwipes?) affair will be revealed. If the writers don’t hurry up Katy’s purple padded bras will have faded, along with their lust for each other.
Not sure how anyone in this show can be too mad at Bill, given that Eric has slept with both his daughter in laws (Brooke and Taylor) and Brooke’s sister. They all need to keep a record of who has slept with whom to prevent an accidental incest.
It could turn out that Coconut and Arjay could be closely related.
In the meantime, the trigger for the Liam-Bill-Stephie fiasco, aka Sally Spectra has wasted no time rushing over to sing James Taylor to Liam. “You got a friend”.
The writers will be saving the big next triangle to be a return to Hopeless.
Bah. Now we are back to self-righteous Liam. He must be exhausted. He’s had to go from smitten to outraged and self-righteous, to repentant and grovelling, to jubillant to devasted and now back to self-righteous. That boy sure has range.
In a way, I’m glad I slept through it, but if I’m awake early………
Just when you thought Liam’s acting skills couldn’t fall any lower…..today’s episode comes along.
More Kenny G.
Oh for Gawd sake. Why is Sally over at FC trying to drum up Liam’s ex?
I am finding Sally Spectra and the new Hopeless annoying.
Sally won’t tell where Liam is and stakes her claim for Liam.
Like an astronaut landing on the moon.
The last four minutes or so is agony, when Liam produces the annulment papers. Violins and piano. Another pathetic speech from Liam. Steffy’s begged and begged. Liam’s off like a bucket of prawns.
Stock up on the tissues ,daisy.
Bill is going to feast on the carcass of Liam/Steffy.
I just cried, “Yay Stephie, run freeeee”. 😊
There is a change of plot. Now it’s 3 women fighting over Liam. That’s 30 female claws. Hasn’t Sally got a cheek going over to Forresters, (from whom she stole millions of dollards worth of designs), to seek out Hope, whom she has never met, to stake her claim in a passive aggressive confrontation which had Hope wondering what it was all about.
Today it’s people fighting over Brooke, namely Rick and Thorne trying to white ant Ridge to doddery old Eric. Eric doesn’t want to be reminded how many of his wives Ridge has rooted. It’s all semen under the bridge to him.
Bill signs the annulment papers. Brooke expected Bill to stall. She’s got some sexy lingerie on for Ridge , who’s blabbering how great it’s gonna be for RJ that they are a family again.
Come get your portrait, Sheila.
😂😂😂 “Seamen under the bridge”. 😂Looking forward to it. Brooke must have been a bit disappointed Bill didn’t put up a fight.
Brooke is smelling a rat in Bill’s meek capitulation.
Bill turns up at Steffy’s , who’s messed up and cowering under a blanket. Liam’s gone. He’ll parent the fruit of their loins but the marriage is gonski.
Ridge and Brooke announce another engagement. Rick is fuming underneath, RJ in his fake tan can’t wait to get them hitched. Of course, this marriage won’t last long. How many toasters must Brooke and Ridge have by now?
In a lucid moment, Brooke and Ridge realise that Steffy’s not turning up for work much, so Brooke goes to Steffy’s to nose around. They’ve all slept with each other sometime or another.
Steffy can’t quite bring herself to tell Brooke that she shagged her husband while they weren’t yet divorced . What a mess.
Brooke said she needed Hope to help her plan her wedding. By now Brooke could plan a wedding in her sleep and with earplugs in.
Oh Ivy, nooooooo. Is she trying to look like Brooke? Or has she been given a role as a blonde. The crazy thing is, her asset was her Lizard Taylor looks. I will get a pic of her when the sun goes down (reflection).
Can we read Nicole’s mind?
Has Ivy had a nose job?
Ivy thought blondes have more fun.
It looks terrible.
No, on a 2016 pic, her nose is slender.
Thorne is pouting over the Bridge engagement.
Brooke couldn’t get Steffy to blab.
He needs to build a Bridge and get over it. What? Too soon? 😜
Thorne looks like a real spiv. He should keep his nose out of it, not his business
God knows what Ridge will do when he finds out about Bill
There were already enough nosy parkers at Forresters. And the nominees for Nosiest Parker are: Katy, for her performance in Front Loungeroom Window, Brooke for her performance in My Sister’s husband’s Keeper, Arjay for his performance in Home Alone but back for the holidays, and Maya for her performance in The Inlaws and how to give advice from the wings.
And the award goes to……
Thorne takes the outstanding newcomer nosy award.
Even Pam and Charrrrleee have been left behind at the starting post.
Steff is all set to blab to Ridge then the curtain falls..
Thorne’s moustache is a joke…he needs to move on. He makes me sick.
Stephie’s crying make-up was perfect. She almost looked like one of those Venetian sad clown masks.
Ridge knows what Bill did now. Soon Il Gordino’s will be buzzing with the news.
Hope ‘s gone to comfort Liam, who’s living on take away vegetarian meals. She’ll be offering him some meat soon…
Brooke’s doing a lot of nosing around. Bill finds it hard to tell her, for some reason…
They are all nosing around like truffle pigs.
Disturbed at Bill’s lack of grief over her dumping him, Brooke must run to his office to remind him what he surely must still want a piece of. And to nose around to find out why Bill is so accepting of her decision….and to get him to assisther nosing around in Stephanie and Liam’s business.
Hopeless is still hopelessly in love with Liam, and Liam now scrunches his eyes thinking of Stephie, but already with a hint of temptation, already considering his options of new love. Forget it Sally, you have no chance against Hopeless. (btw that pinky red has been one of my favourite classic colours since I was a 5 yr old, allowed to dig in my Grandma’s clothes and wear her pink/red beaded satin stole).
Sally will have to think of a new name to call Hope as she already has “Princess” for Stephie. My suggestion is “Prima Donna”. It’s got a good ring to it.
Anyway, Hope is that sad girl who is never able to let go. But that’s the writers’ fault.
How are you liking the new Hopeless? Do you think she has fitted the old Hope’s shoes like Cinderella, or is squeezing in like one of the mean step sisters? It wasn’t really a hard shoe to fit.
Typical, leave us hanging for the weekend to see what Ridge will do! I don’t like the new Hope, I’d rather Liam took up with Sally. So who does that leave for Hope – perhaps Wyatt, then Katie could be with Thorne.
I can’t help but think that Bill is the baby’s father – the doctor didn’t look too convincing when she gave the test results to Steffi. Time or the supermarket magazine rack will tell us sooner than later.
I allso was thinking that a new dna test will show Bill to be the father. But perhaps it will go; Liam nestles into Hope’s bosom for comfort, which drives Stephie into Bill’s stallion arms, which then gives a storyline to the co parenting plan.
No peeking for me Sarah. I prefer guessing and rewriting the script. 🤣
Nor me Daisy, I just look at the covers🎶
It’s just platonic. But Hope burst into the Randy Newman song, “You’ve got a friend in me”.
Hope stirs Liam’s loin region by reminding him of all of their most romantic moments. And Liam plays dumb by pretending he doesn’t know where all this is going. I bet Sally and Stephie wouldn’t be so oblivious to Hope’s intentions.
Stephie continues to explain to Ridge why she and Liam broke up.
Bill has a plan that might involve a gun.
Lot of hot Ridgian air. It was watered down to jail soon enough.
Oh my…Hope plays her trump card with Liam ….her charity work.
Bill is wanting the heat to pass. Ridgeseems to think he can go to jail for …sex with his dil?
