They rush some s/l that are totally not believable (even for a soap) and drag others out like fingernails on a chalkboard. Bring back fashion!!

I did not watch today. I think I am going to tune out all next week. I have absolutely no interest in seeing Steffy again right now. Add her mother to the mix, and the show stinks for me. I do like JMW and KA both, I think they do a fine job. But, Steffy and Taylor are just too stuck up and full of themselves for me. I was hoping for a longer break from The Steffy Forrester Praise and Worship Show, but it was not meant to be. And Taylor is like fingers on a blackboard for me, her voice is so annoying, that phony whisper is mind numbing. And, they have her saying the most stupid things, over and over and over. I wanted Taylor back, I thought she was needed on the show, little did I realize, she would be the reason I tune out. It makes me sad that this show I have watched for years, except for Breacon back in the day, is not enjoyable for me anymore. And, it is not the actress, it is how they have decided to write the character on this return. Old Taylor was loathsome, but she was not insufferable and annoying.

I like the new Taylor. Yes I would like to see her not desperate for Ridge’s love, but nothing she does annoys me. The show is at its best right now for me

I am with you and co-sign your comments, especially about not watching and the reasons…I stopped Friday. The over-the-top, exaggerated conversations were ridiculous.

I agree with you. I did end up watching after all. The kids scenes with Finn were heartwarming. Finn is such a great guy all around. Good father, good husband. Just an all round good person. He deserves so much more than Steffy. But maybe now she will actually appreciate him the way she should have from the beginning. The scenery shots were breathtaking. And it was nice to see a few new sets for a change.

But my goodness, Taylor needs to tone it down. The giggling is really getting over the top. And the gaga eyes at Ridge are still going on. You're right, she is insufferable. It was incongruous to see Kelly calling her Grandma while she's dressing and acting like a hormonal teenager. And could Ridge be any more obnoxious? I'm glad he told Bill he's in his debt. Bill is showing his human side and it's a refreshing change although I don't want the old, snarky Bill to disappear completely. He does have the best lines on the show.

Steffy looks gorgeous. I don't agree with others who said the way she looks is in complete contrast to the fact that she's grieving. She's in a healthcare facility and so chances are she's been encouraged to dress up and look good so she can feel good about herself. But I think they should have said a little bit about the nanny at least and the fact that she's been taking care of the kids while Steffy takes time for herself. Taylor still deserves an earful for asking her daughter to go away by herself and not being there for her especially when she was grieving. But of course she won't get it. Taylor never gets told off for her mistakes.

Yes, she looks gorgeous. But it's just too much! I don't think anyone would have said anything about her look if it had been casual chic or beachy. She sure doesn't have to look like she did the weeks after Liam had left her, when she was hiding under the blanket. But dressing up and getting styled like she was invited to the prince's palace makes absolutely no sense when she's just going for a walk to clear her head and spend some time on her own. Especially the high heels are ridiculous in those rockier parts of Monaco.

Anyone here could have done a better job. She looked ridiculous. She looked beautiful, but really out of step and out of place. I have been to Monaco too, that is not how people dress in the middle of the afternoon. Was she going to the palace, if so, it was still out of place. The women that went to the royal wedding looked more casual than Steffy did in that silly get-up. It reminded me of a really bad movie from the 70's, when people thought glamor was big sunglasses, pouty wet lips and far off longing gazes. LOL

I have lived in Monaco, in a penthouse apartment in the Fontvielle district. My living room overlooked the sea, while my kitchen overlooked the palace of the prince and the marina. You are right. The people there look just like people everywhere. Many of them are decidedly unglamorous and never bother dressing up much at all. Many are just living in Monaco for tax purposes. Steffy's attire was ridiculous looking. Even the princesses in Monaco don't dress like that. LOL

yup, I thought she looked great too, and stupid all at the same time. It was so over-the-top trying to put her across as some high styled sultry rich pampered widow grieving for her precious "sweet husband Liam"...oops, I mean Finn. LOL

:lol I never thought of it that way but if that's what they were doing it was stupid for sure. I gave her some slack because she has depression. Maybe she woke up that morning with the idea that she wanted to wear something that made her look good, and who cares how it looks?

The whole setup is over the top. Finn running all over Monaco when just the day before he couldn't even walk to the door of the room, Taylor giggling like an overexcited schoolgirl, Bill using his jet just to bring Finn to Monaco and going back right away without even seeing Steffy.

By the way, he didn't deliver Finn to Steffy after all but he did deliver him to Ridge. Does that mean Ridge is the extraordinary person then?:-D :-P

I mean, the woman has depression, so I can cut her some slack:neutral Maybe that's what she felt like wearing or what her therapist or whoever she's seeing suggested to her.

I agree with you, Matisse, and I don't intend to watch next week, either. I realize all the fan bases deserve to see their favorites front and center, but the Steffy Forrester Praise and Worship Show is past it's expiration date for me. I'll wait till another SL, not involving Steffy, is on.

When I make reference to Seteffy‘s attire in Monaco, I am referring to the fact that I’ve seen her look a lot more devastated many times. I don’t know if it’s about her clothing or the way they staged the scene. She’s parents rushed over the water to see her because she has mild depression. They’re telling us she’s in a very serious situation and I expected her appearance to complement what they’ve been saying about Steffy’s situation.

Steffy looked overdone for the time of day, the situation, etc. I just want to add though, I thought JMW looked fantastic in the outfit. But, to me there is a separation between the character and the real person, and the dynamic of what the character is saying, doing, wearing. The show seems to do this specifically with Steffy, like it is suppose to be so dramatic, and instead for some of us, it makes us roll our eyes and laugh. Example: Brooke is in Monte Carlo on Bill's yacht, she is sad and alone thinking about Bill and Ridge. Bill is behind her at a distance. She is wearing white pants and a coral sleeveless top and sandals. Her hair is straight and looks like it does every day. It was normal clothing for the middle of the day in MC. We get the scene Friday, Steffy is in that club hopping dress, Jacki-O's, all made up, the only thing missing was a parasol. LOL. It is too over the top. IMO. It just does not fit the dynamic of the SL, IMHO, and it seems forced and almost pompous.
