Bold and the Beautiful – June chat

I didnt see Brooke and bill close the bedroom door so right up until closing credits i expected rj to appear

Brooke was covered in $100 bills for her seduction of Dollar Bill aka The Stallion. It was pretty sickening!
The only good bit to the episode was Ridge and Quinn denying they have feelings for each other and mean girl Katie trying to blackmail them both.

Katie is hoping to be the last Mrs Eric Forrestor standing so she can become the all powerful matriarch. She wants the large painting on the fireplace mantle to be her.
Boring Rick’s wife Maya didn’t last long up there!

Daisy this:
“Nicole is amazing how she manages to perform while on sleeping tablets.”
and this
“She and Arjay deserve each other but why should we be punished? ”

were just gorgeous and perfect in every way.

I think Ridge is better off without Brooke.

Katy…..what a villain. But Quinn will know how to deal with a blackmailer.

I didn’t know that sandwich crunching, useless LA cop does industrial espionage cases as well.

I won’t see it for 4 weeks now. By then it might be out of fashion. 😂😂😂😂
Heading to Perth for a quick nap before going to the airport.

RJ ,under pressure from Ridge, tried to talk Coco into sending Sally to jail for fifteen years. So far, she’s not buying into it.

Ridge is begging Brooke to take him back. Bill threatens to spend eternity trying to uncover Ridge’s “dirty secret”.Ridge looks really worried.

Brooke got teary over Ridge’s “destiny” routine.

Rj is starting to take after Ridge, trying to schmooze Coco. ,

Steffy called the Spectras a family of cockroaches….in front of two Forresters smitten by cockroaches.

Big staredown with Sally and Sandwich Surveillance. Sally’s stepped up to face the music, to Steffy’s chagrin. Sally’s just been read her rights by the hungry detective in the shabby suit.

Fifteen years in a roach infested LA prison beckons.

Thomas and RJ aren’t happy with the way things are panning out.

I see the Spectras coming out on top here.

Quinn, Brooke, Ivy and Katie all in a room. Katie wants to blab to Eric , then Ridge walks in and swears them to secrecy about Quidge.

They promise not to blab so long as Ridge and Quinn don’t get up to hanky panky.

Eric is getting played like a violin. Ridge still begging “Logan ” to come back.

Today was mostly about Zende and his ambition to become a designer at Forrester Creations. Nicole is right behind the idea but Maya is disapproving. She’s a real negative Nancy. Awful hairstyle , a newie.

Zende goes with a new haircut and pleads his case to Thomas and Steffy. They fob him off and Zende says it’s because he’s adopted and a Dominguez that he’s always going to be a shitkicker at FC. He’s not as dumb as he looks.

Over at Spectra HQ ,Grams tries to rally the troops once more. Sally reminds her she’s just lost her sister , the only man she cared for and faces fifteen years in the slammer. Sally has flashbacks about being with bare chested Thomas.They are both staring at their phones, broken hearted. Fade to black.

Thanks, Dave. That was chocablock. Yeah the photographers at Forresters don’t seem to get the meaty parts. They usually just lurk.
Gram grams should star an advice column.

Zende’s still moaning to Nicole about his thwarted ambitions at Forrester, saying he doesn’t feel like A Forrester. Nicole tries to reassure him that he is….and fails..

Wyatt and Liam want to throw Bill a bachelor party.Bill demurs and verbally abuses the pair of them, virtually calling them idiots and saying they’ll never be as successful as he is. He;s right.

Steffy’s starting to dig for dirt on what happened in Australia. Brooke and Katie keep their mouths shut ….for now. Katie’s bursting.

We don’t see Ridge as he’s flat out designing an entire new collection.

Sally’s been bailed by some anonymous benefactor named “Saul”( Gotta be Thomas.)

Zende winds up getting smashed in that bar Liam and Wyatt go to drown their sorrows. The owner of the Spectra building walks in and drops hints about how much Spectra need a new designer. Zende’s eyes light up like a Xmas tree. But the guy gets a call and has to go.

Episode ends with Brooke and Bill smooching and cooing.

1. Zende could get Nicole to have another Forrester baby. That might get him a design job.
2. Bill should have called them “knuckleheads”.
3. Thomas should have used the fake name, ” Samson”. It’s Old Testament too, but Sally is his Delilah.
4. Yes. Good call. Zende at Spectras.
Sally bursting with info……
😊😊😊😊🤗

It looks like Sally will beat the prison rap because lovestruck Thomas shows up at the Judge’s office and offers to get Sally off the charges ….but Spectra will be dissolved. Sally and Thomas will be an item for a while.

Ridge and Brooke are out having lunch~”just lunch”. Ridge is still begging and running the “destiny” theme. Bill just happens to walk in and mocks “the dressmaker” and wonders aloud what might have happened in Australia for Ridge to get dumped. Brooke has a face like granite at this moment.

Ridge tells Brooke that if she eyeballs him and says she has no place for him in her heart or future…….he’ll back off. Brooke looks undecided as usual.

Fade to black.

Brooke likes having two fish on the line. So does Liam. He’ll need a second fish soon.
No one seems to ever make a clean break, but leaves with an, “I will always love you”, so that they can hang onto their spare.
Thomas, Zende and Spectras could start a new agency but only if they get rid of Grams and make that airhead secretary an airhead model.
Bill, I suppose, is ready to swoop on his building.

Do gooder Liam finds out about the fake review Bill wrote about Spectra. Wyatt goes crawling to Bill and dobs Liam in.

Charges dropped against Sally Spectra. Eric is a lot softer on crime than Steffy, who wants Sally behind bars. Sally’s threatening to leave town. Grams should be the one in jail.

Bill can’t wait to marry Brooke but of course his phallic building development comes first. He tells Brooke about his plan to acquire the Spectra building. Something tells me both the wedding and the building won’t happen.

Ridge vows not to give up on Brooke.

Hmmm. Who needs to watch with your recaps, Dave. 😄
With a grandmother like Grams who needs an evil stepmother. It seems that Quidge must be on a break. The only person to ever go to jail for his crimes was Deacon, and even he got busted out by Bill. Seems like if you want to go into a life of crime, LA is the place to do it. Just make sure the cops are on their lunch break…or coffee break.

Liam lets Steffy in on Bill’s fake review and Steffy says that they can’t let Thomas find out. We know that won’t last long.

Thomas goes over to Spectra to say good-bye. We get some Thomas / Sally flashbacks before she tells him that he inspired one last design from her. Thomas thinks the hideous outfit is elegant and refined and what a waste of talent etc. Sally thinks she’ll go to work in a bakery with Grams and keeps saying she’s leaving town.

Ridge is flat out designing a whole new line,daisy…..unless he’s at lunch with Brooke.

Wyatt gives Bill a lecture about what a cheating parasite he is to build his empire on shattered Spectra dreams.Bill couldn’t care less …..but the deal isn’t sealed just yet.

Thanks Dave. I can see it all as if I am watching. I suppose Grams and Sally should churn out some understated and tasteful cakes.
In fact the Forresters should be able to keep them busy in wedding cake production.

Steffy sees how crestfallen Thomas is after farewelling Sally and she decides to tell him about the fake fashion review Bill wrote. Thomas is off to Spectra’s quicker than an LA rat up a drainpipe.

Over there Dollar Bill is shaking down Sally and CJ (owner of the building) to close the skyscraper deal when at the last moment Thomas walks in and pulls the rug out from under Dollar Bill , the ghost writer. Looks like Bill’s steel and mirror erection is going to fail. Marriage to Brooke isn’t a done deal, either.

So, looks like Sally’s not leaving just yet, Steffy is impressed with her designing skillz, as is Liam. Bill will kill Barrett, the fashion journo for blabbing.

Thanks again, Dave. It seems to be galloping along like a stallion. Nothing much from Quidge. I hope they are still simmering and haven’t gone completely off the boil.
First time Bill couldn’t get an erection. 😊

It’s party time at Spectra as Grams leads a conga line of champagne swilling staff.

Thomas has produced a $100, 000 cheque to save Spectra and Bill leaves fuming after verbally abusing Thomas and highlighting his relationship to Ridge. Bill hasn’t given up but for now Spectra is back. Liam and Barrett the fashion journo will probably cop Bill’s wrath.

Thomas and Sally have a long ,romantic $100,000 kiss.

Hopefully, we’re back to Quidge next week. Ridge is so busy designing , lunching with Brooke and trying not to think about Quinn.

So glad I missed champagne swilling, conga-lining Grams. I hope they hurry up and relegate her to the odd walk in. I even prefer static Nicole and annoying head of security Cherrrlee, to Grams. She makes me want to scour my eyes and ears.

Since I noticed one of Sally’s “designs” was an actual dress ( that blue doily number) I guess designers in LA are hoping that failed outfits from their “must go” rack will be picked up by producers to be used for Spectra fashion lines. I reckon we here cld have a go at a Spectra delight.

Zende has been offered some design opportunities at Forrester, the squeaky wheel has been oiled. RJ and Coco are fast becoming a power couple.

Thomas takes Sally to his bachelor pad and he tells her what a great investment he sees Spectra as. Thomas and Sally both mock Dollar Bill. This is love, LA style. Wear a condominium, please.

Charlie must be on holidays, there appears to be no Security at FC as a furious Dollar Bill barges into Ridge and Steffy’s office demanding of Ridge what has got into his “idiot son” and announcing that he’s “freakin’ pissed” at his property deal going down the toilet. Bill is much like Donald Trump.

Ridge is not happy either and the ep closes with Ridge tearing a new one for Thomas for getting involved with “criminals”…..,It’s “Forrester money” that Bill claims has been used to derail his empire. (as if Grams et al are “criminals”}

Hmmm…the new power couple. I expect to see Coco’s portrait up at Eric’s then. I wonder if we will end up having new camps in the future; Rick and Maya’s camp, and RJ and Cocoa’s camp.

What? Has Bill been meeting Putin? Maybe he and Brooke can get married in Trump Towers, or the Kremlin. Or Bill can buy Trump Towers, since Donald is busy and the Spectra Tower is unavailable. I don’t see why Bill can’t at least meet with Trump ir Ivanka. They could get an impersonator. I am liking that story line. Then Bill can run for governor.
“Wear a condominium”…. ha ha. You could name you brand of Conom( iniums) Trump Towers. 😄
“What are you wearing?” “It’s called Trump Tower”.
OK, I think I have had too many mango shakes and they have gone to my brain.

Bill plans to call his phallic skyscraper Brooke Tower. Can you believe it? The stallion is hot to get married immediately and still gloating about how stupid Thomas is.The writers are taking Bill’s moves from Trump’s day to day life.

Ridge gives Thomas a furious lecture about selling the family out and all the hard work he and Pops have put in building the company up etc. Ridge says he has “bad judgement” and Thomas throws that back in his face and hints at the bad judgement on Ridge’s part that must have happened in Australia.

Thomas bags Steffy’s abilities and thinks he could do better. Ridge fires Thomas, orders him to get the hundred grand back and to dump Sally Spectra. The Forresters don’t want peasants and criminals after their money.

I guess Thomas will head off to Spectra soon. Steffy’s busy giving Sally a serious brow beating, demanding the money back and to stay away from Thomas. Sally tries a sob story and ends up telling Steffy not to make war with her.

Bill and Brooke get up to some kissing and getting hot about the wedding that we know won’t happen.

Oh my goodness. They are all going crazy. I think Ridge has forgotten Brooke was a waitress when they met. I hope Brooke stays with Bill and gets a condominium named after her. Ridge only made a heart in the sand. He needs to lift his game.
I am thinking of creating someSpectra fashions, but I only have my travelling clothes and small sewing kit.

If I suddenly disappear…no I wasn’t murdered by Quinn. My tab won’t charge. Hopefully Woolif can be a whiz kid.

Katie wants to be a designer too, so while she has Quinn over a barrel, she pressures her to accept her no doubt awful designs. Katie drops it that Bill’s getting married today and Ivy starts grilling Quinn, who’s freaking out inside that it still might be Brooke who ends up with Ridge.

Later Brooke and Quinn go head to head over the “nothing” that happened on the beach in Australia. Brooke tells Quinn that she’s just like Ridge….got a strange streak inside.

Ridge eventually turns up the let’s get married (again)heat on Brooke, who has already been guilt tripped about Bill by RJ. What does RJ care, Coco is soon tearing his shirt off. Teenage wasteland.

More Ridge/ Brooke flashbacks as Brooke has a tear as she fumbles over giving Ridge the final answer. The show ends on the usual knife edge.

I’m going to say she’ll stay with Ridge. Bill tore strips off Liam for blabbing about the fake review.

Using Woolif’s phone. It’s a lifeline.
Dave, I think you might be making it sound more interesting than it really is.Your recaps are better than any EPs I have watched, and that’s without Quidge sizzle.
Haha, “Teenage wasteland”.
Ha ha, Katy wants to be a designer. Nicole, Sasha, Maya and Ivy all got to be models. Stephie gets to be a CEO, Cherrrlee gets to be head of security. And Eric gets to be the vintage hubby of a dangerous, sexy vixen. Reach for your dreams guys.

Arjay hasn’t even had time for his teenage zits to heal? I didn’t really want to see Coco go in there.
If Zende has a new cut, it might mean he is loaning his hair out to Wyatt, who is definitely going to need to make some fresh career moves in the not too distant future. Never knew why the producers chose him. He has an odd body too. And he does pointing pout.

It’s Brooke’s wedding day. For the entire episode , the viewer is tortured over who she’ll marry. Bill or Ridge?

At Dollar Bill’s $20,000 a bottle champagne is flowing. Liam and Wyatt are humoring their father , the smarmy lawyer is going to be the celebrant.

Bill gets a phone call from Quinn, tipping him off that Ridge is making a final play for Brooke. Bill gets suspicious and asks Quinn what happened in Australia etc but she says nada.( Behind it all Quinn stlli has designs on Ridge and we get old sauna flashbacks and beach trysts etc)

Ivy grills Quinn about her feelings while Katie is busy grilling Brooke about who she’s going to choose. Some emotional blackmail about poor little RJ is thrown in.

Ridge is waiting at Brooke’s house (what a freeloader) for her to turn up and exchange vows. He has Brooke flashbacks.

Bill is starting to look at his watch and get jumpy. Brooke has jilted before.

There is a knock at both doors. It’s not Jehovah’s Witnesses or a pizza delivery.

I say it’ll be Quinn coming to get Ridge. Maybe Brooke at Bill’s door?

We’ll find out tomorrow.

Oh wow. It sounds like an episode of Twilight Zone; two Brooke’s, two weddings, two grooms, two parallel universes. This is Brooke’s dream situation, surpassed only by having three men waiting at the altar. I say choose Bill, but I think it will be Ridge.

Brooke shows up at Bill’s in a wedding dress. Hardly any guests, just Rick and Maya. His sons and the lawyer/celebrant.

Brooke promises to love Bill forever. Tears galore.

It’s Quinn at Ridge’s door, offering comfort and letting him know the bad news. Ridge is pretty unresponsive and reflects on what a dickhead he’s been. Quinn still wants Ridge. We”ll see.

Zende and Nicole’s pregnancy test was a fail

When you say Ridge was unresponsive, you mean no Trump Tower? 😗

Bill and Brooke are consummating their marriage on Bill’s jet. They’re off to Paris for the honeymoon. Brooke tells Bill that they have hitch hikers as Rick and Maya are bludging a lift to Paris. There’s time for more hanky panky and compliments before Rick and Maya get there. Dollar Bill now calls himself “Chill Bill”

Zende, Coco and RJ are left to babysit little Lizzy while Nicole goes to the fertility clinic. Zende mentions how much he wants to be a father. He and Nicole have been rooting like rabbits since their wedding. The doctor gradually reveals to Nicole that she has stopped having periods and won’t be able to conceive because you guessed it, the surrogate pregnancy left her with uterine scarring etc..I can’t spell the condition, we’ll hear it ad nauseam soon. Nicole starts freaking out in the doc’s office. Drama galore ahead.

Back on the jet, Maya is cooing over baby photos. Bill makes an off colour comment I can’t quite catch. Brooke covers for him. Rick and Maya are boring company.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?????? Bloody hell. We always knew she wld want her kid back, so I don’t know why I am shocked.
Whaaaaat????? Brooke and Ridge doing it on Bill’s jet, with Rick and Maya in the next room.
Whaaaaat, Rick and Maya are boring???? Well, no surprises there either.
I look forward to Nicole stealing Lizzie. 😮

Hey, I have the solution. I was just thinking how Mumma and Papa Avant will have to have all their grandkids through Sasha now, when I had a brain wave; Nicole and Zende can ask Sasha to be their surrogate.

Keeping it in the family Daisy with the surrogate shenanigans of the avant family. I find these characters, actors and storylines so boring. Rick was way more fun with his first teenage wife, Amber. At least she had more spark in her.
More Ridge and Quinn please. Bill and Brooke are gross, if I have to see them naked in their bed again, making love I think I am going to vomit 🤢

Agree Lola. More Squidging from Quidge.Yep, only one Avant baby machine left. My guess is Sasha will say WTF but this is B&B. Maybe she will agree & get the same lurgy as Nicole.

Nicole will probably do her mature Camille impression 4 Zende ; “Go and marry Sasha because she can bear your kids” No wait…wasn’t that storyline already used on Stephie and Liam. 😀

Zende gets called to Ridge’s office and is offered some designing opportunities, since Thomas was just sacked. He’s excited but is warned that the hours are going to place a strain on his marriage. This is while Nicole is getting the bad news at the fertility clinic. Won’t be long before Nicole is going to kidnap little Lizzy.

Nicole’s in denial about the doc’s diagnosis. Zende’s still out at FC when she arrives home. Time to celebrate your promotion, Zende.

Charlie and Pam are gossiping and Pam wants to think of a way to cheer heartbroken Ridge up. I never noticed the pistol on Charlie’s hip. Pam reminds him that his sleuth work on Quidge was a load of….

Maya and Rick are in Paris, with Maya preoccupied with her internet connection, babies and nannies. Rick wants a bit of romance. It’s Dullsville there.

What goes, “Squidge, squidge”?
Quidge in the steam room.

Zende buys a bottle of champagne and arrives home hoping to celebrate his promotion at FC with Nicole, who’s not home yet but busy gloomily explaining all over again to her mother what happened at the fertility clinic. Then Mr Avant comes in and we hear the whole tragic story again. Pops is on the verge of tears trying to make sense of the injustice of it all and gives an appalling spiel trying to smooth things over.

Across the sea in Paris , Maya poses for some truly hideous fashion shots with some hotshot French photographer, who promises to make her a star , if she’d just extend her stay in Paris awhile. Maya’s eyes light up like a Xmas tree but we know she’ll be stressed out about little Lizzy, who will soon fall into Nicole’s clucky clutches.

When Nicole gets home Zende is waiting in boxer shorts , open shirted and ready for a night of fun. (There’s a blazing fireplace, his choice of attire doesn’t make sense) Zende stupidly suggests they might make a baby tonight before Nicole spills the baby beans.

Maya and Rick decide to stay in Paris to further Maya’s deluded modelling .aspirations.We’ll see her plastic mugging in front of the usual Parisian landmarks.

What an awful episode it was. No Quidge.

I slept through most of today’s ep . Maybe the morning encore.

I might be a bit quiet for awhile while I get my tab repaired.
