Doesn't that place have customers? I don't see how Deacon, the janitor and barback, can socialize and talk all afternoon with his friend as she sits with her feet up in the restaurants chairs! WTH??? Seriously, she said she, Thomas, and Douglas were about to have a BBQ while Bridge's party was going on. Well, Bridge's party is over, and Il Giardino still ain't got no customers??

Why does Taylor think she can do this in a restaurant?

I'd like to know who makes the decisions for the actors to do things like put feet up on stools, sit on desks and cross legged on sofas. Is it the actors themselves or the directors/writers?

Those types of things are typically the actors choice.

Taylor looks totally ridiculous, like an older woman who wants to be fifteen again. I wish they'd tell her to grow up and act age appropriate. That doesn't mean she has to act old, just adult, rather than a tween.

She looks comfortable and relaxed. There is no one else there so there is nothing wrong with putting her feet up. . Deacon certainly doesn't seem to see a problem with it.

Why would Deacon have a problem with it? He just works there. If I owned a restaurant and saw a patron sitting like this I'd ask them to either have some decorum or leave. And if I walked into a restaurant and saw someone sitting like that I'd wonder what kind of establishment it was. It's one thing to sit like that at your own home. Completely different to do it at a restaurant.

And side note: Taylor would do neither. As much as I disliked her (using past tense because this current character seems less and less like Taylor to me), there is no denying she had grace and sophistication. Her hair was always beautifully styled and she looked and dressed the part of an upper class lady. If fans like the way this current character is behaving and dressing, that's fine, to each their own. But in my opinion the powers that be need to stop calling her Taylor. Maybe write it that an impostor took over Taylor's body or something. Then her behaviour will make complete sense to me.

Taylor just got handed her walking papers from Ridge.

Perhaps she needed an ego boost, so she headed over to Deacon Territory. He is a hot #, and his sweet talk helped to assuage her bruised heart.

Your theory stands up to reason, but, Tay-Tay and Deacon are very lonely souls who may eventually wind up together, defying all odds.

I overall liked Macy. I even liked the pairing of Deacon and Macy.... My only real problem with her is how she egged Deacon on to go after custody of Lil Eric and Hope out of revenge. Pretty pathetic because we now know that Deacon pawned the boy on Becky's parents to raise.

Though, to be fair, Deacon had every intention of being a good father at the time, and Macy actually got involved with helping Deacon reconnect with his kids before she even knew of his connection to the Forresters.

Macy didn't start encouraging Deacon to go after custody until the Forresters had repeatedly blocked his access to his kids and denied him visitation (despite having no legal right to do so). It was the Forresters (Rick and Brooke) who first turned it into a battle, not Macy and Deacon.

That being said, there was an element of vindictiveness in Macy at that time which was pretty out of character for her and since I really liked Macy I wished she would have risen above that. She was usually very forgiving. I think her odd behavior and her focus on Deacon was a way for her to avoid dealing with her own pain (having cancer and needing an emergency hysterectomy while your husband just got your best friend pregnant would throw anyone off balance).

Yeah, she seemed to be comfortable and relaxed in all the public places like FC where she sat on a desk..and now this....was she waiting for a foot massage from Deacon? I guess that dumb witch forgot she ain't home. LOL.

Public places and in other people's homes. She looked totally ridiculous sitting on Eric's coffee table like a child might do. Oh, most children have better manners than that. I didn't mean to offend children. Then she had her legs all tucked into Eric's sofa while she slurped noodles and tried to entice Ridge who just looked bored. Now, she puts her feet up on a restaurant stool. It's gross as well as childish. You're right, Hope, she is a dumb witch. For goodness sake, Deacon already talked to the police about Sheila. What does dummy think he has to add to her? All one can do is shake his or her head at the witch's stupidity.

Yep. I don't know why Taylor thinks it's okay to sit on people's executive desks, put her feet up on Eric's cream colored furniture, put her shoes on a high-end restaurant's stool and lounge around in there like they don't have high-profile clients walking in. SMH.

I miss Taylor. The actress is lovely and very good but this isn’t Taylor.

Part of it is BB now characterizing Taylor as saintly, with no past wrong actions (like shooting Bill in the back and then running away) and that she is the most brilliant and just the most wonderful person…sorry, FF material. I don’t find Taylor acting like a kid, giggling, etc., entertaining. For me, putting your feet on a chair in a restaurant, someone else’s place of business, isn’t a good choice for the character.

World renowned people are usually writing papers for journals or giving speeches, not sitting at a bar with their feet up trying to put the moves on the barman and janitor. I know some actual world renowned people can be a bit bizarre, but most act with at least some decorum, unlike St. Taylor who seems to think the calendar stopped moving ahead once she hit thirteen.

I think in most places, it's not allowed, either legally or by the business owner. There are millions and millions of different kinds of germs on the bottom of shoes, St. Taylor's included, and restaurants don't want those germs on their furniture. But St. Taylor never thinks about that. Obviously, she doesn't even think about how ridiculous she looks. Why isn't she working on a paper for a professional journal or something? Or have a schedule filled with speaking engagements? After all, she is a WRP. :rofl :rofl :rofl
