Over to Bold correspondent Daisy (thanks, as always):
Is it April already? March has flown by with only one, nearly two partner changes. I wonder if there is a monthly average or quota. March saw Thorne drop Katy like hot potato, right on Valentine’s Day. He had giant promises but only stayed a few weeks. He failed to deliver. Liam and Hope have been teetering on the brink of a change of address, but Liam has stood strong, only because there is a swinging door between simpering love with Hope and domestic bliss with Steffy.

Hope and Liam show what fun an evening with them is. Let’s not mention the product placement.

The storyline of the stolen baby has stalled like a Boeing 747 ascending too sharply or flying too slowly (enjoy the reference, Sara?) Surely April will have to see Beth restored to a pampered existence as only child, instead of having to take Kellie’s crumbs; a worn out mother and hand-me-downs. Dr Hooks might want to put a paper clip in his pocket now because he might need it for picking the lock in his handcuffs.

“FU, Dr Hooks”. Dr Hooks is beating Liam to the bottom of the acting pile.

It’s time for Wipes to drop Sally. Flo is going to need a pudgy shoulder to cry on. It’s time for Brooke and Ridge’s predestined love to hit the rocks and for her to fall into Bill’s arms. We had a snifter of Justin getting aroused by Donna’s bosoms and chiselled cheeks, but they aren’t important enough characters to take precedence over the Hopeless storyline.

Sally looks beneath the sheets and doesn’t like what she sees.

I am going to hit the pause button here and go home to watch March’s final episode. My fingers are crossed for little Phoebeth. She will want to be packing her suitcase soon.

Over to our beloved Bold and the Beautiful correspondent Daisy for the latest happenings in the Forrester family. (Oh, and did you all read the interview recently in which Dr Chris Brown was meant to have a guest spot on the show back in his younger days? He was supposed to play a long lost nephew of Ridges or similar, but it turned out he did not have the right visa. Shame – this was in the Ron Moss days so he had the right jawline for it.)
***
In February the Forresters were plunged into a Shakespearean melodrama, with the tragedy of Hope’s stolen baby. I know we are all impatient for the mystery to unfold and for Hope to discover the truth so she can grab Phebeth and run. But put our impatience aside to spare a thought for Hope. She missed out on breastfeeding her own child. We were never shown Hope’s post delivery milk issues. Sorry if that’s too much information, but I can’t help noticing that detail has been left out. The other detail that was ignored was the illegality of putting money in a suitcase and exchanging it for a child.

As we move into March, it’s predictable that one way or another, all will be revealed and there will be a traumatic return of Phebeth to Hope. As Steffy and Kelly mourn the loss of the daughter and sister respectively, and Hope rejoices that Beth is alive, Liam will have to look quizical because he won’t know what to feel. On the one hand, he is losing a daughter, Phebeth, but on the other hand he is gaining a daughter, Beth. How will Liam portray that emotion? And in whose house will he hang out? Will he need to console Steffy? Or will he be with Hope, changing nappies? Although not for long, because Beth will soon be in college. Hope has been doing a fairly good job of acting like she’s losing her marbles. She better not get too good or she won’t qualify for the show.

Over to Wipes and Sally, will they get out of bed? Will they wash their sheets? Or will they continue stuffing their faces, and throwing chips at each other in bed? It’s about time they did the deed in the shower. They have been a boring couple. Wipes even had more spark with Katy than with Sally. They profess their love for each other but are more like brother and sister.

Katy has been in the wings, so Orange Lurch might return. They are already married, which means they are due a divorce. Skeletor (Zoe) has been getting the juicy lines, playing detective and having to deal with her criminal father, while others, like Emma have slowly been fading into oblivion. Feisty Rick must have offended the wrong person, because he seems to have been given every soap actor’s kiss of death; being written out. At least he is now spending the rest of his pretend life in Paris.
Brooke also has been in the wings. I wonder if we will be able to notice the scenes where she is suddenly absent then returns from the IAC jungle, looking frazzled. It’s hard to watch her looking tough, when we have seen her looking like a frail, eccentric girlie girl with a small voice.
Anyhow, nothing much happened in February, so let’s hope that things get fired up in March. Bring back Ivy. I would have loved Doc Chris to have been able to get in there. He could have played Rick 2, fresh from Paris.
Au revoir for now.

Over to our Bold correspondent Daisy (thank you):
I am sitting at my local café writing this. It’s no Il Giordino’s, but at least I don’t have to worry about any Forresters, or Sheila sneaking up to eavesdrop on me, although I’d be ok with Dollar Bill showing up to foot the bill. The menu here’s not fancy but there is no surveillance crew and I won’t get blackmailed…or kidnapped.
November saw a few more Forrester felonies. The brothers who hated each other from birth; Orange Lurch and scruffy, husky Ridge became best buddies so that they could stick it to Bill. They blackmailed a judge into ruling against him in a custody battle, and then threw the typhoon tycoon from a balcony. Now they are hoping that the new, miraculously healed Dollar Bill will let them both off the hook and not call the newly promoted Detective Sanwichez. It’s crisis time in Bill’s office with Judge Ham and the dirty-handed Forresters.
There’s trouble at Eric’s place. Or should I say, Eric and Quinn’s place? Not according to Pam, who thinks it’s still Stephanie’s house. Pam’s willing to work with the devil to destroy Quinn, but she is working with Donna instead. Donna has her cleavage out in every scene to remind Eric that he likes his honey between soft cupcakes. Eric is happy to take a ride down mammary lane with Donna, and doesn’t mind being her Honey Codger, but Quinn is ready to bring out the kitchen knives to burst their bubble.

Outside the immediate Forrester family (if that is even possible), Little Emma has taken a gracious bow-out, and cleared the field for Skeletor to get her hooks into Zander. Zander isn’t likely to fight her off. Emma is going to concentrate on dancing in white macramé, while Zander and Zoe make beautiful music in black macramé.
December will bring the usual boring Christmas episode, with everyone putting their evil deeds aside to sing carols to Honey Codger and his ivories. Babies and small children will be sleeping through the festivities like perfect little angels who won’t know who Santa is until they are 14. At least they are spared Eric’s Christmas serenade. But in the meantime Bill is calling the Forresters out on their “dirty little deeds”, and praising Saint Brooke for her heroism and integrity. It remains to be seen whether or not Quinn and Eric’s marriage will
survive, and if Bill sends the Forrester’s to jail.

In the meantime we listen to Ridge droning on about Bill’s poor parenting. Let’s hope Ridge and Judge Ham do a little time in the slammer.
I will leave you there, with Pam and Donna apologizing to each other, and vowing to be best friends forever. Santa Baby, please bring us a Bold & Beautiful December filled with revenge, romance and reaping what you sow.
Merry Christmas. 🌲Ho ho ho.
