Taylor is so insincere

Taylor is more than a snake. She's a wolf in sheep's clothing, pretending to be so nice and understanding, when really, she's waiting for an opportunity to take advantage. That's what her whole song and dance to Ridge has been about since she came back to town, claiming to be a shoulder he could rely on when it came to his marriage while she was secretly hoping for it to fail. That's the reason why she rushed over to Brooke's home after Steffy and Thomas showed her that footage -- she wasn't concerned about Douglas being asked to forget what he saw. She was eager to rub Brooke's face in what she and her children were assuming had transpired between Brooke and Deacon.

And even after she found out that Brooke had fallen off the wagon, she still showed no sympathy to her in spite of her own history of alcoholism. She and Steffy continued to berate Brooke for what happened with Deacon, claiming that Brooke was using the alcohol as an excuse to do what they claim Brooke does best. I still remember Steffy criticizing Brooke for "sleeping her way through the family", yet she conveniently forgot how her mother has done the same -- with respect to Ridge's male relatives and Brooke's male relatives -- all because Taylor has brainwashed her children into thinking she's perfect, defending her mistakes, and fighting her battles for her. (Since Stephanie is not around any longer to do it, and even if she were, Stephanie might actually turn on Taylor since she and Brooke became close before her passing.)

If Taylor truly wanted to help Brooke, she would have done so once she found out about Brooke's lost sobriety. She could have found a counselor Brooke could go to for one-on-one sessions if that's what Brooke had wanted to do as part of regaining her sobriety. She could have even offered to be an ear and a shoulder for Brooke since they both have alcoholism in common. But Taylor's objective was to get Ridge, no matter how it happened. Only now, and in front of Ridge, is she acting all concerned for Brooke when behind both their backs, Taylor is stoking conflict between her children and Brooke while playing the martyr. It really seems that Thomas and Steffy don't respect Brooke and Ridge's relationship largely because of Taylor consistently undermining their relationship out of bitterness.

Excellent posts.
