Well, that was certainly embarrassing. The last thing I want to watch is two 50ish women fighting over a worthless waffle. Nor do I want to see them butting into their grown ass children's lives, however the agendas are so divergent between them, that I find myself annoyed with Brooke, but still supporting her.

Brooke's concerns are clearly aimed at Douglas, and his welfare, and of course she is worried about Hope. All parents worry about their children, but in Hope's case I can see why Brooke would be extra cautious. Hope already had one baby snatched from her and spent a year believing that child was dead. And who was responsible for that? The very same people who are now clamoring to have Douglas ripped from her life.

Brooke completely outclassed Taylor in round 1 by not stooping to Taylor's level. Brooke came off as an adult with serious concerns, and valid arguments, while Taylor came off as a juvenile sixteen year old, who prances around in mommy's disco days hand offs, while making jabs at Brooke, and the past Taylor needs Brooke to have. Talking about all the things Brooke has done to Ridge? What would all those be again? Brooke has never slept with another man while married to Ridge. She has kissed a few for sure, but really, when compared to Ridge's dalliances with Quinn, Shauna and most recently Taylor, they pale in comparison. And Taylor needs to self reflect a bit and remember two names: James and Hector. So, Brooke has a family with Eric? Isn't that what most married couples do? OH WAIT! was she tying to look down her boney nose at Brooke because she has had multiple marriages? Hmmmmm.......has Taylor forgotten about Nick and Whip? Taylor also conveniently forgets about her short romance with Eric while he was married to Stephanie. Yes, there was no sex, but I assure you if it had been Brooke, Taylor would have been screaming to the rafters about Brooke having an affair and sleeping with Eric.

And why would that be? Because that is all Taylor has. Just like anyone else who has no defense, they deflect, and attempt to cast shade on the other person. Brooke on the other hand remained calm and stuck to her theme. No need for her to pull up Taylor's sordid past, because that is not what the discussion was about. What I found amazing was Taylor thinking she was scoring some kind of victory with her nonsense, however Brooke read her like a worn-out novel, and is so accustomed to Taylor's finger pointing, and history rewrites, that she simple rises above and blows it off. Taylor is pathetic, and she is desperate, and so very, very, thirsty, in addition to living in fantasy land. She needs a full on reality check. Ridge dumped her more than a decade ago and he has never looked back.

This is a great post!

I also didn't get the point Taylor was making about Eric. So, Brooke had children with him. Was that supposed to be scandalous? Isn't that what married couples do?

IMO, Taylor showed her cards in those scenes. She made it clear that she's going after Ridge and that there is a clear line drawn between the Logans and the Forresters. And that line was drawn by the Forresters, not the Logans.
