(Over to Daisy – and thanks!)
New year greetings B&Bers. 2019 starts out in turmoil in B&B land, and everyone has returned from holiday coloured
a shade of orange. I am worried for Taylor, and not because she might go down for shooting Bill, but because she has been inappropriately oversharing with a creepy stranger. For a psychologist, she is not good at seeing the red flags. Flag 1. The man walks in and says, “Nice zip code”. Flag 2. His daughter does a worried double take. Flag 3. The man pumps you for the intimate details of your life. He mentions her “ground-breaking work in nature v nurture” Ha ha, when and where was that? Ancient Greece? She might need that gun again.
Skeletor and Zander have made a fresh beginning, but she might be going into damage control to protect her image from her Gold-digger Dad. Gold-digger is hitting on the wrong woman. Brooke probably has more money, and she and Ridge are on shaky romantic ground. It seems that 2019 might see a revival of Brill. How could you not want to form a union where the merging of your names = Brill.
It must be the San Andréas fault because the gloss has come off Eric and Quinn’s marriage, and they too are on shaky ground, although their demise is being wrought by the conniving Pamela, determined to wreak havoc on Quinn for pouring sour lemon on her wedding party. Will Donna be Mrs Honey Codger number 3 and 6? Or is that 7, or 8? Anyhow, the Codger is never single for long.
Stephie has kept her distance from Liam and Hope’s marital bubble. She has been focussed on her career and her doe-eyed daughter. (Her eyes are huge). If she does meander too close to the loved-up Care Bears, then Brooke is never far with her claws ready, to put Stephie back into her own territory. For sure Brooke hasn’t finished making it her personal mission to put Taylor through the wringer. I can’t say that I am hoping for a Stephie/Liam reunion. We need some fresh blood, and not Papa Skeletor.
Katy and Lurch have plodded along boringly, which might mean that they have already run themselves into a ditch. We’ll know if instead of the purple push-ups, Katy starts walking around the house in her comfy Bonds and a brunch coat.
We haven’t seen Maya or Rick. Perhaps they have gone to China to buy some twins from some desperate rural peasant. It will serve them right when the parents show up in 18 years time to mooch off the Forrester millions….or to get a less fortunate 16 year old sibling a job as a top model or fashion designer.
Speaking of designers, Sally Spectra has fallen into a dangerous abyss of boring sidekick. She might need to steal some more designs.
I am just about to watch episode 2 for 2019. I hope the scripts for 2019 are livelier and even crazier than 2018. Good luck to all the Forresters, Spencers and more importantly, good luck, best wishes and good health to readers. Selamat tinggal bacaan. That’s just me practicing my Indonesian. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks, daisy.Help yourself to the lemon bars.
Yep, Pops $keletor is a con artist.
Thanks, Juz for the post.
I will add a pic of Hopeless doing her Annie get Your Gun scene. Or is it Taylor get Your Gun? She looks like she is being pleasured below.
Looks like Annie’s already getting her gun.
😂😂😂😂😂
Whip-crack away, whip-crack away.

Brooke has become everyone’s moral compass. She looks like a moral compass too.
And here’s one begging for a caption or speech bubble perhaps.
No matter how hard I try I just can’t wrinkle my forehead …
Thinks~ “No matter how hard I try I just can’t wrinkle my forehead …or act”
I have to admit to sneaking some previews. Big things a ‘comin. I read at the supermarket that Thorne is leaving, so what thst means for Katie I dont know. I just don’t enjoy the show at the moment, it really needs something new. I tead on wiki that Sheila shot Taylor and that’s when Brooke moved on Ridge
Somehow Taylor survived and disappeared. So much crap.
I’m not peeking. But if OJ Lurch leaves, it’s because everyone is orange now.
I forgot Lurch’s name was Thorne. He’s not exactly setting the show on fire.
I’m not peeking or even standing near an ajar door.
My big rumour for you gice is that Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang.) is going to be on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. Heard it this morning.
Hell, put the whole damn cast in there.
😂😂😂😂😂 and 😮😮😮😮😮 That should be fun. I predict Brooke will have a jungle affair. 😂😂😂😂
Her choice of take-in will be a kaftan.
Her kaftan sales will skyrocket.
Move over Julia. Meeeow.
Wow! What a photo. Thanks.
Heh heh. I thought you might approve. 😘
Hard to see Brooke in the jungle! I wont watch the show except to see which D list celebrities go in. Cant bear to see the muck they eat
Just watching Julia Morris is endurance test enough.
B&B is on today. Ch 10 said last week it was off air till the 10th. Great.
It’s been on all week. Oh, you missed scary Golddigger Daddy and Taylor on Monday. I think Taylor already has a stalker.
Yes, Brooke is worried for Kelly. 😣
That’s like telling me the fish were biting here yesterday.
I got a rundown at the Supermaket today. If they didn’t tell me , I would have missed it today.
Stephie threw a party that was a lot of fun. Not. But it was a good opportunity for Dr Hooks to get his hooks into Taylor. That was where I got some of the recap. He actually did say he had followed her “ground-breaking work in nature v nurture”. Who knew it was Taylor who came up with that? Next they will be attributing the discovery of penicillin to her. Never mind history. Don’t let that get in the way of a poorly thought out dialogue.
Let’s play name the baby with Donna, Katie , Brooke and Hope. Zzzzz. The hate is turned on crazy Taylor. Liam’s hailed such a great human being for impregnating two women at once.
Pops $keletor is schmoozing Taylor. He’s a sleazy gold digger. Hide your jewellery, Skeletor before Pops pockets it.Taylor visits her AA sponsor ‘cos she nearly had a drink. What’s the bet Pops $keletor gets her smashed?
Everyone in LA but Steffy has joined the hate Taylor club. The faux concern for little Kelly’s safety is sickening.
Josephine….it’s very popular in Utah.
Believe it or not “Cleopatra” was suggested because they wanted a powerful woman’s name. Cleopatra Spencer~ Logan.
Gold-digger Dad almost had the hairs on the back of my neck standing up. Very creepy.
Now that beings me to the need to address the image that anyone might have of my hairy neck. 😂😂😂
How was the silky way he handled the phone call from the no doubt anxious credit card company? Then Skeletor’s jewels casually lying around. He’ll wreak havoc in LA. He’ll try to run from Il Giardino’s without paying.
They should marry him off to Sheila. They would match each other in scariness. I wish you had seen Monday’s episode. Taylor was “singing like a canary”. She brought out her dirty laundry to Daddy Gold-digger like it was a laundromat at a brothel.
The word, “sweet” was used so often I gained 1000 calories just watching this scene.
The word, “sweet” was used so often, I gained 1 000 calories just watching this scene.
The stalker now has her own stalker. And will he ruin her life? Probably.
Pops would have trouble passing himself off as a designer in that shirt. I missed the detail.
“You seem to have problems with relationships, Dad” Like everyone else on this show..
Hope and Brooke do a great job keeping a secret…
There’s a bun in the coven.
By letting everyone know…..
By letting everyone know they have a juicy secret. Oh the power.
I love how Brooke can still purse her lips. Now try that one Stephie and Taylor.
They can barely ‘duffel bag’ their lips.
😂😂😂😂😂 Thanks for the banter. 😍😂😂😂😂
I love how Brooke continues to be the best secret-keeper in the world. She invites her whole entire living family to have a catch-up in the office (do some work already!!) and tell everybody that Taylor’s off her rocker.
For a woman who spent 30 years bouncing between adulterous affairs, Brooke Logan really sucks at keeping secrets. Damn.
Now nosey Katy and Donna won’t rest until they prise it out of her. No doubt now it will be the guessing game, where Brooke can say, “I didn’t tell. They guessed”.
I thought Katie already knew who shot Bill. Katie couldn’t keep her mouth shut in a sandstorm.
Anyone shooting Bill should get a Presidential Pardon.
Kindly, concerned Dr Hooks will step up to protect Taylor. Dr Hooks Medicine $how.
Dr Hooks bathes in his own snake oil. Slimey.
Katy might already know. But then that would mean, Lurch, Eric, Donna, Will, and Pam would know.
Dr Hook’s going to ask Taylor out before this eps over, I’m sure of it. He ‘s getting more “oversharing” from Taylor right now. He’s pledged to “alleviate her stress” not to mention her bank account.
Another day of hating on Taylor. Brooke’s about to burst.
Wow. Dr Hooks didn’t even need the dinner date. He’s given Taylor the kiss and look of desire she’s missed for so long. She’s fallen hard for Dr Hooks’ sleazy schtick. Calling a woman “beautiful” and “attractive” this way would get him a kick in the groin in most places thesedays.
Brooke was gonna sing but Hope emptied the room before twenty questions started.
Kelly is becoming like Rosemary’s Baby.
Dr Hooks must be a proctologist. He has done nothing but probe since he met Taylor. He’s had his head so far up her rectum he can see her plumped lips.
If anyone should be blabbing, maybe it should be Skeletor, warning Stephie. Taylor doesn’t need another excuse to get her pistols out. (You can tell that I cut my teeth on Carry on Movies and Benny Hill. Boom. Boom.
Liam sure looked relaxed and at (second) home sprawled out on Stephie’s couch today. He really needs to keep a second set of clothes there…and perhaps a puppy.
He was looking like he didn’t have anywhere else he needed to be.
Polygamy really agrees with his values. He really did look like the cat who’d got the cream relaxing in front of that touching portrait of Steffy and himself. Comfortable enough to shit all over Steffy’s mother while he was there. Remember when he was holed up in that seedy hotel room for yonks, barely surviving on vegan take away?
Brooke scored a C on keeping quiet about Ridge colluding with Judge Pinoccio. She scored a B+ for shutting up and not going to the police about Ridge and Orange Lurch going iver to bash up Bill and pushing him over the balcony (if you watch Judge Judy, you would know they would go down for setting it off).
But it seems Brooke is getting herself a fail on the matter of “who shot Bill?”.
KKL is doing a good job of acting like she can’t wait to tell.
What a controlling bitch is Brooke.
She’s playing bitch so well. I hate her. 😂😂😂😂 Then you see her clone KKL and she’s nice. 😂😂😂😂
Some men might like to be spanked by the former and snog the latter. 😁😁😁
Yikes! Do not google image that. No, I said “Do not”.
Didn’t you love it how she’s still judging Taylor because in the past, Taylor “always took the high-ground”?
That’s because you spent 20 years trying to steal her husband, Brooke, you hypocritical hussy. Yeesh.
I also loved Brooke’s concern at the fate of Steffi and Liam’s child. Brooke, you know as well as the rest of us do that if Liam and Steffi’s child had been a son, you’d be first in line to marry him, whenever he turned 18 (you know, in about 4 or 5 years).
We haven’t heard from Will, in a while. Do you think he escaped LA?
Leave LA or hook up with Dr.Hooks and his cosmic “fate” system? What will Ms “I’ll never blow my sobriety” do? How many eps till she’s drunk( It’ll be champagne) and in the sack with the free loading predator Dr Hooks?
Liam wimps out again.
Yes, Brooke is playing a great bitch. Today’s dress was a bit unflattering.
Wait, so Taylor’s a homicidal maniac, a plastic surgery addict, *and* a recovering alcoholic?
This is what the Forrester family does to people! This family are a walking disaster area!
Katie and Brooke are recovering alcoholics as well. I can’t vouch for Donna.
I have a secret. It’s a good one. It’s really funny but you will never drag it out of me. Never. But it’s really good. 😏😏😏😏
“No one must know about this” ~ Everyone will know
“I’ll never blow my sobriety ” ie Taylor’s ready to start drinking like a fish~ she already has the lips for it.
“It was fate” ~ Dr Hooks is a sleazing, opprtunistic mooch for rich women
“Dr Buckingham’s a real charmer” ~ He’s a gold digging cockroach.
And why does Forrester Creations only now get an intern?
Seriously, I caught myself thinking, that intern shouldn’t be working in a fashion house, she needs a few years in acting school first. Too bitchy?
Windsong. Never. 😜😜😜😜
😂😂😂😂😂 Fish lips. She’s taking the bait.
Isn’t anyone going force my secret out of me? I need Dr Hooksto get his hooks into me. Or Katy and Donna.
Meet you for lunch at Il Giardino’s. I won’t tell anyone. Or you could leave a text message lying around for us to read.
Group email message? An ad in the LA Times? Hire a sky-writer? They’ve got options, here.
We can discuss it privately in the CEO’s office.
My neighbour went to the doctor. Afterward, she was out having a lovely walk around the shops when she received a call from the doc’s office. The reception was speaking in a hushed voice and my neighbour asked her why. It turns out she had left her calling card. She had forgotten to put her undies back on and had breezed out of the doctor’s office and to the shops as though she was Madonna. She said, “I thought I was feeling a bit free”. 😂😂😂😂
The receptionist consoled her with, “No problemo. It happens a lot”. 😂😂😂😍
(It’s not really a secret).
Episode begins with five minutes of utter tripe with Wyatt and Sally Spectra. She tells him that his approach isn’t “too cheesy”. Not much. Sally’s outfit is cheesy , however. Watching them roll up their yoga mats is so rivetting. Better than the dialogue. We get it, they work out.
Taylor and strong, powerful Steffy have some one on one.
Oh oh. Steffy’s going to leave Kelly with Taylor, so she can off and be strong and powerful. This won’t end well….. because bitch Brooke is on her way over. You’d think Kelly could lay golden eggs.
Wyatt and Sally have sex after their workout and that’s enough for them to confess their love for each other. Sally’s unhappy though that she’s a shit kicker at Forrester’s ~ the company she stole designs from..
The last five minutes are gold. Cop the expressions on Liam and then Brooke when the heat is on and he plays his worn out befuddled weasel look. We again see how weak Liam is, then Brooke fails to muscle Taylor out of LA.
I wonder, sometimes, if the writers have as much short-term memory loss as the characters seem to.
Brooke heads over to Steffi’s place to talk to her about Taylor, but Steffi has gone out, and Brooke is shocked at Taylor left alone with baby Kelly, so she confronts Taylor about it! … um, guys? You did this exact same plot, like, two weeks ago. We’ve sat through this how many times, already?
I felt a bit sorry for Liam, to be honest, when both Hope and Steffi were trying to play him off against each other. I was kinda hoping he’d tell them both to get stuffed.
I gotta admit, Wyatt’s the most attractive member of the cast. I was almost jealous of that yoga mat …
Just watching now. Thanks for preparing me, Windy and Dave. Liam is sticking up for Taylor because “she is making good choices”. Yeah and Grabby, over-eager Dr Hooks is one of them.
Windsong, I won’t fight you for Downward Dawgie Wipes.
Stephie to her mom, “You’re not dangerous”.
Sally has ridden all the young Forrester and Spencer men, but then so did Ivy.
Far as i’m concerned , shooting Bill was a good choice. Not so Dr. Hooks. That ‘ll be toxic.
I thought Sally only kissed Liam in that exploded Spectra building. Then he did Vegan exile in that shitty motel.
If you get shots of Liam ‘s look under fire from Steffi and hope. Then Brooke’s shock when Taylor gives her some lip about not leaving LA and becoming a barnacle on Kelly. If it’s not too much trouble,daisy.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Woolif will definitely agree with you on Taylor’s target practice. He hates Bill.
But Bill did leave the gates and doors open and the gun just sitting on the table. Who wouldn’t be tempted?
If Brooke thinks Taylor is dangerous, she should stop going iver there.
Oh dear, I don’t think I can watch this much longer, but will read your comments.
I’ve had a look at what’s coming up, and it’s awful.so I may just stick with reading here what’s happening. I think the writers are sick and Brooke is a major bitch.
Sara, I think we realized that Brooke is a bitch who puts herself first when she was sleeping with her daughter’s (Brigitte’s) husband (Deacon). Hope is the result of a very unsavoury affair.
But see, it spoils it to peek ahead into the Forrester future. 😂😂😂😂 I hope we can compensate for your pain. 🤕🤕🤕🤕
The writers are sick, Sara, and it’s going to be awful. Both boxes were ticked today.
I tried watching Days of Our Lives once, but it lacked sickness….and parody.
Hope and Brooke bring the Taylor hate again. Liam has to try and mediate. Family values ,mm. Hope gets on her high horse about her unborn brat.
Even Bill gets his ears bashed by Brooke. He can see what a controlling bitch he’s obsessed with.
More Sally/Wyatt tenderness. Sick.
Hope and Liam will be on the rocks soon. Hope turns into a real bitch, threatens to become a single supermum like Steffy.
Hope a supermum? 😂😂😂😂 Only with her mother poking a stick up her dress. She is mummy’s puppet.
I still haven’t recovered from her lying to herself about going over to Liam every 5 minutes to help his marriage by reminding him what garbage Stephie is and what an angel, a pure angel she is by comparison. She couldn’t have seduced him any harder had she gone over wearing a nun’s habit (an off the shoulder habit with the lingerie line underneath- “ooops my habit just slipped”) 😇😚😚😚
Yep,wholesome Hope threatened to become a single mum because her unborn daughter can’t be left alone with Taylor ,who should be in prison, she says. Accuses Steffi of trying to lure Lothario Liam back and suggests to Liam to start choosing now. Heavy handed. Bet Liam wishes he was back alone in that seedy motel now, with some stale vegan vittles to eat.
… now that’s a bad habit.
So Brooke, who’s run out of people to whine to about Taylor, goes back to Bill. It was funny. When she told him that she was upset about the Taylor situation, Bill rolled his eyes and looked away for a second. Note to the writing team: if even the characters are tired of dealing with this crap, maybe you need a holiday.
Wyatt continues to be the most attractive member of the Spencer clan. Sure, that’s a hell of a bell-curve, but he’s got twice the charm of Liam and his hair isn’t unnaturally jet-black like Bill (possibly soot from where Bill hangs upside down at night?). As for Liam, is it me, or does Liam just look confused all the time? It’s like, he’s always thinking about a joke where he doesn’t quite understand the punchline.
Liam rolled his eyes at Hope, too.
The mother/daughter relentless hate Taylor campaign is wearing thin on the Spencers, who’ve, let’s face it, seen it all. Getting blown up , shot at and punched by relatives and exes is just part of life in LA.
Here’s an idea , Steffie~ fire Hope.
… out of a cannon. Into the sun. Twice, to make sure.
Take Brooke, too.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bill must have been thinking about how glad Brooke was that he didn’t press charges against 1. Ridge and the judge, and 2 Ridge and Lurch for coming into his home to intimidate/accost him.
A woman’s sex appeal plummets when she becomes an hypocrytical shrew….unless she is wearing leather lingerie and wants to spank you.
Which reminds me….I accidentally discovered “Brooke Logan” was a porn star. It will take a week for that image to go out of my eyes. Beware what you google.
You realise, of course, Googling “Brooke Logan” (like I’m the only man who’s ever done that) is exactly what I’m about to go and do.
Interestingly enough, Brooke’s actress’s real-life son actually made an appearance at a gay porn studio, but I don’t think he made a career out of it, it was a one-and-done thing.
Wjy would Hope’s baby be left alone with Taylor, no reason for tt to happen. HOPE is becoming her mother.
I am ‘background-watching Vikings. Lots of slaughter, scheming, inappropriate relationships and revenge. Kind of like the Forresters and the Spencers. I’m surprised that their Christmas get- togethers aren’t more lively.
Really, they should have at least one person getting sloshed and blurting out family secrets and toe snuggling the person sitting opposite.
Liam is trying to play Ghandi in the middle, he’s the one who blabbed.
Skeletor and Zander give an acting Masterclass til the first ad break. Not bold. Not beautiful. Pitiful.
Hope lays on more Taylor hate and says the two daughters won’t be close with lush Taylor around and she makes a hasty exit. Just for a change , Liam looks confused. Shoulda kept it in your pants. One big happy family ain’t gonna happen.On this show?
Brooke’s still burning Bill’s ear off about you know who. Bill’s thoughts turn to his loins.
Zander promises to save Skeletor from Dr Hooks’ ruining her cred. Sparks fly between Liam and Steffy again. Hope lost that one.
Stephie didn’t have to say a word. Hope was digging her own grave and nailing down her own coffin. All Stephie had to do was watch Hopeless bury herself by creating unnecessary drama.
Hope whines to peeved Brooke, while Liam and Steffi spend quality time getting teary and cooing about little Kelly. Liam even offers to help fold some baby gear. Getting along like a house on fire. Steffy gets a couple of digs about Hope in. All in front of the Liam /Steffy portrait.
Stephie has the big ammo; a beautiful baby with GIANT blue eyes. Hope only has her whining , emotional blackmail, high horse and her rear guard; Brooke.
Little Emma……pardon me……big Emma is back. All parties in Zander’s love tripod are behaving graciously atm.
Speaking of big ammo, check out Taylor’s tight sweater today. Dr. Hooks won’t be able to resist.
I had a non fan visitor today. Thanks for the fill ins.
Brooke’s so whiny and irritating that I cannot even begin to imagine how she’s had so many suitors, over the years. At this point, I’d be giving Taylor a handgun and a bottle of scotch. All I’m saying.
I like to imagine they get to five o’clock, at Forrester Creations, everybody signs off for the day, goes home, eats, showers and sleeps, then comes to work the next morning and continues with the exact same conversation they were all just having.
Meanwhile, why is Doctor Hooks broke? I mean, he’s the new ob/gyn doctor for the Forrester clan. This man should have Scrooge McDuck levels of wealth, giant pits of money, that sort of thing!
“Meanwhile, why is Doctor Hooks broke? ”
Palimony, child support, malpractice suits. My best guesses. I’ll bet his medical credentials are murky.
😂
But why hasn’t he made heaps of money as a tv sellout? You know advertizing botox, or having his own tv doctor show helping disfunctional patients.
Yes, they are pressing all of Taylor’s buttons and pulling all her triggers. She might go on a killing rampage, and little Kelly will be as safe as houses. Even houses on a precarious cliff top.
Brooke throwing Taylor’s “pattern of behaviour” line in Liam’s face should make him nervous given that she has slept with her daughter’s husband before.
Also, what about Ridge’s pattern of behaviour.
And Dr Hooks can have so many nicknames; Gold DiggerDaddy and now, it seems he likes schoolgirls, so maybe just The Lech. I hope his ‘sessions’ are on video, and I don’t mean for his viewing pleasure. Dr CreepyCrawly. Dr Gary Glitter.
Hmmm, Dr Hooks claimed to have only “opened Taylor’s door gently”. Another door at Forresters that isn’t kept locked.
And by every door, there is always that bit of shrubbery to hide in.
Hope couldn’t wait for the first excuse to blow up the “one happy family” scheme. She was always going to have a problem. She thinks she holds all the power.
Ooooooo. Dr CreepyCrawly is creeping around ready to burst through another door. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Now he’s Taylor’s Saviour. Why is he even allowed to wonder around Forrester HO?
Hope gets nauseous looking at the Liam and Steffy’s golden portrait.
Dr Hooks can talk the leg off a chair. He’s got Taylor’s back.
All the right words, Dr Hooks. He’s got Taylor’s back….but he really wants the front.
Maya needs to focus on her own personal life instead of poking her nose between Zander and Zoe. Only we commentators are allowed to interfere.
Dr Hooks talks his way to lunch with Taylor at Il Giardino’s. He then hits Taylor with a hurricane of flattery. They pig out on the bread basket.
Rick and Maya have broken up. She’s back in LA. Boo hoo.
Hope tries to bar Taylor from Xmas at Eric’s. OMG, what a bitch.
Dr Hooks digs for financial details of Taylor’s life.
