Thirst and Fantasies

Once again, two separate conversations that couldn't have been further apart. Bill and Brooke, warm, sentimental, remembering their time together in an adult and fond way. Taylor and Ridge, thirsty, desperate, with Taylor reciting a history based in fantasy, replete with hugging and declarations of love, and Taylor nearly panting in her need to convince Ridge that Brooke is a bad girl.

And a stupid, useless waffle just stood there like a mute moron and did nothing to stop Taylor from denigrating his wife.

So, if Ridge gets his knickers in a knot over Brooke hugging her ex-husband, then I say tough darts buddy! Tit for tat and all.

I have but one plea for Steffy

She is becoming one hella annoying Tay Tot. Now, there has been some truly outlandish and ridiculous stuff spilling out of her mouth this week, but yesterday absolutely took the cake. Brooke has walked away from Ridge numerous times for other men? Oh my, that is simply the height of hilarity right there. I wouldn't even know where to begin with that, given the wrongness of it. In any event, I was proud of Hope for standing her ground, and not getting down in the dirt with Steffy. Hope doesn't know Taylor's entire history, but she knows enough, and she certainly knows Steffy's, but she didn't need to go there. She stayed focused on the issues at hand and wasn't interested in what may or may not have happened twenty or thirty years ago. Steffy just continues to embarrass herself and is looking more foolish daily.

Brooke and Bill? I loved them together, I really did, but they destroyed their magic by having them split up over a skyscraper. Bill just doesn't realize that the reason he feels so comfortable with Brooke is the same reason men never get over her. She is unique and she is special, and has a way of making a man think he is the only one in the whole wide world. Of course, that has somewhat to do with sex, but it encompasses so much more; a charm, and a charisma that other women don't possess. All the same, it just isn't there with them anymore. I would much prefer to see Bill and Li start a romance.

Brooke did walk away from Ridge for other men, when he threw her away for other women first. Then when he saw that he had made a terrible mistake, he just expected Brooke to be waiting for him. And, if she was with someone else, like Bill or Nick, he expected her to throw them over when he decided it was her turn to be with him again.

Basically what I heard that idiotic woman-child saying this week is: Brooke didn't pine away and wait around for daddy, while he was off getting it on with other women. Brooke did not fall to her knees in gratitude when her "precious" daddy threw the other women away and came running back to Brooke expecting her to be waiting with open arms. That Brooke CHOSE the other the man she was with, at the various times her daddy had his epiphanies that Brooke really is his destiny, instead of throwing them away, married to them or not, to fall at her daddy's feet and worship him. How dare Brooke think she had a choice,

Is that about right? Is that what I have been hearing her say all week? That Brooke did not wait around pining for Ridge, and then make herself available as soon as he was through fooling around with his dad's wife, his brother's wife, Brooke's own sister, his ex-tart Taylor, and Vegas Barbie?

Very true! But I took it a completely different way. My take was Steffy was pushing the old "Slut from the Valley" stuff by implying that Brooke was never true to Ridge and was constantly taking up with "other men" while in a relationship with him. And we all know that is complete and utter nonsense. At no time has Brooke ever walked away from Ridge for another man, although there have been times that Ridge has driven her away, i.e. Quinn and Australia.

Brooke has never sexually betrayed Ridge, yes, she has had sex while married to him; once thinking him dead and the other the most ridiculous plot contrivance of all time with the Posse Boink. And unlike Taylor, who willingly and knowingly gave herself to two other men, Brooke didn't run and hide and she didn't lie. And therein lies the big difference between Taylor and Brooke; one can own her stuff and the other can't. Excuses don't sponge away your indiscretions, the only make you look pathetic.

Yesterday it seemed Steffy was trying to be Stephanie. If that's where the writers are going, if it's why they've been writing Steffy as extra mean and nasty lately, I don't think it's going to work. Stephanie had more nuance than the unadulterated nastiness that Steffy is spewing out.

Stephanie also had years to be bitter from Eric's past flings and his yearning for Beth. Steffy has a husband that adores her, she is only early middle aged, her kids are young. It really will not work making Steffy so nasty and bitter, when it is not about her own husband and children.

Right, it's about beating the Logans and her bitterness from Hope "stealing" the guy that she stole from Hope.

Liam to Hope. Debate over.
