What Do you Think?

So my sister thinks Ridge actually wants to be Taylor but because he doesn’t want a guilty conscience because he knows Brooke hasn’t done anything wrong so he feels like if he leaves he is wrong. So he will keep this game up until Brooke dumps him or cheats.
I think Ridge has no question on who he loves and how he loves them both, but he is sick of the constant drain of arguing - with his kids and Taylor.

I think if your sister was right, he would have left Brooke over the Deacon kiss and already be with Taylor. I think that if she was right, then Sinn's life-or-death experience would convince him to leave Brooke anyway.

I think what's happening is what always happens -- angst for Bridge. I believe there is NO story for Taylor if she and Ridge unite, and she'll be on her way off the show just like Flo, Shauna, Thorne, Sally, Quinn etc who run out of SL.

Taylor is not immune to running out of SL. She has absolutely nothing to do if she's not chasing Ridge, except be a walk-on to listen to Thomas and Steffy.

IA there is no story for Taylor if she is with Ridge. In the past when she was with Ridge her only SL's were about her and Stephanie trying to get rid of Brooke because Brooke wanted Ridge and was around. If he dumps Brooke for Taylor, Brooke is not going to go after him. So then what will the old Quack do with her days? Watch the kids, see her imaginary patients? Bounce off more walls and make goo-goo eyes at her son? There is nothing for her. But, if they leave Bridge together, then they can have Taylor being the NuBrooke, chasing Ridge around and making Brooke's life miserable Or, she can get involved with a different man, though that never works with her either. I think their only option if Ridge picks Brooke, is for Taylor and Deacon to hook up. They had a spark and he asked her about it. it would piss off Ridge. Brooke would be worried. Hope would hate it. Steffy would hate it too.

I want Brill again. And there is a lot of SL's with them together. It will be Spencers against Forresters, and Bill is a lot richer, and he can put Taylor in prison. AND, he can constantly remind Steffy of her past if she starts her nonsense about Brooke. There is the Katie aspect of it. There is the Ridge aspect of it. Liam and Hope will be even more bound together, to Steffy's chagrin. And if Bill becomes friends with Li, like his dad was friends with Stephanie, back in the day, then Li can be the thorn in Steffy's marriage and make her life miserable. Finn will not turn on his mother. Bill could fund a new fashion house for Brooke, Hope and Liam. They can hire designers. They may be able to hire Zende. He was not looking to pleased with the idiots the other day talking about being real Forresters. LOL

I really hope Brooke wouldn't chase that idiot, but that's the only SL Taylor has. And even if Brooke does, that only lasts so long and then what? Taylor has no roots other than being two grown people's mother. She has no story. She will be gone in a year or so. That's why I think Taylor is doomed after these wars play out. Doomed like Flo, like Shauna, etc.

What could they even create for Taylor that would be her own anchor on the show instead of her just being an extension of her brats? If they can't even anchor Quinn and Katie anymore, who the hell are they going to anchor Taylor outside of bickering with Brooke which is so old. All I can see if cheatsville. She'll get with some other dude. Otherwise, what can keep Taylor relevant?

Nothing. But I give KA credit. She brought some real devious nasty to the character. I wish they had cast her as someone new that Ridge fell for while working together.

You are right. They had Quinn front and center for years, doing crazy stuff, and different SL's. Then they ran out of SL for her and I don't know why. RS is great. She is gorgeous, but they just didn't want to write for her anymore. RS said it herself. KA is new, so I figure we have her for another year of this nonsense, then she will be gone too. But, they kept Quinn relevant because they made her very mysterious, dangerous, devious, and borderline loony. Will they do that with Taylor now too? Because if not, she is going to flop on the floor like a dying fish out of water. JMO

They just don't invest in the characters anymore. It happened to Thorne, to Sally, to Caroline, to Shauna, to Flo, and to Katie. But yeah, to keep Taylor relevant, she can't merely be mother, wife, and at home therapist. But that's all she is. Who else does she even talk to and what else does she even talk about? We had something when she was talking to Deacon, but immediately she shut that down. This woman literally has no life but Ridge, Thomas, and Steffy.

So if she gets Ridge, what will even his story be after the big Forrester wedding?

Brooke, on the other hand, has options. Deacon and Bill.
