A Return to Its Roots (General)

that storyline where the Logan sisters had the royalty photo shoot made me sick.

I m still laughing about that one.
They’re so stupid they didn’t realise how ridiculous they sound …. Their smugness and bragging was just hilarious.
You can’t decide to be royalty or god … but they can’t understand the rules of the upper class bc they don’t belong

This sounds so much like Stephanie with all that elitist thinking...
The Logan sisters doing that photo shoot had nothing to do with actually seeing themselves as royalty or even goddesses. That smugness you're ridiculing was all part of a marketing campaign to re-establish struggling FC as the more sophisticated and elegant brand compared to Jackie M and their cheap cougar campaign, after FC had been surpassed by them in sales.
Katie pitched the campaign to Eric and Ridge because she believed that no girl was dreaming of becoming a cougar but lots of girls were dreaming of becoming a princess, living a glamorous life. And the Logans were the logical choice as models for this campaign because they were living examples of girls making their dreams come true even though they weren't born into money.
Eric and Ridge were fully on board with this campaign too, the only ones who had a problem with it were Stephanie (who was still working at Jackie M at that time, so it was actually none of her business) and Taylor. Taylor was afraid it would bring Bridge closer together again and Stephanie thought the Logan girls could never live up to a royal image and to the Forrester name after all their past scandals. But Brooke reminded Stephanie of her own misdeeds and explained to her that this campaign wasn't about being perfect but about real women becoming empowered as if they were royalty by standing up for themselves. I don't see anything sickening, laughable or stupid about that kind of message...

In California unless there is a prenuptial agreement, both ladies could receive stock as part of their respective settlements.
It will be interesting to see how Bell Jr plays this.

Brooke may NOT give Ridge a choice then. He may have to stay married then. If he wants to marry Taylor, Brooke would have to set him free. Depends on how much Tay Tay and her brats want Daddy back I guess. Brooke can drag this out and make them suffer as long as she likes. Like it or not she IS Ridges legal wife.
I really want Brooke to become who they think she is. What does pro wrestling call it? A turn from a face to a heel.

Ridge is getting old let him give r.j and tom each half his shares ...it's nice to give children value while still alive

And I will keep bringing up the Hamilton/Marone sins as long as the show insists they all are saints and always have been.
I really thought at least someone would be allowed to mention Taylor´s attempted murder of Bill...I mean, she let Ridge go to prison for it, she even kissed Brooke´s feet and let her promise not to tell the police...and now they act as if it never happened and even told us that Taylor had been doing "nothing but good all her life" (©Steffy).
As for Beth and Douglas, I don´t think the show will last long enough to make them a couple...unless they SORAS them during the next years.

Beth and Douglas are blood related : they are cousins

I don´t see Steffy as strong...just look how weak and whiny she is about her daddy taking mommy back, oh please, please!
She is a woman in her mid-thirties, she just lived through an ordeal and a miracle, and instead of having become more mature by this she is regressing and behaving like a pre-teen.

Taylor is weak. Thomas is somewhat fragile although he’s worked on himself…via Taylor….so…? Steffy I see as strong. Nobody is like Stephanie…thank goodness. She was difficult to take at times. I would prefer to see Brooke single and strong. Men in her life, yes…married, not so much. I think she’d be a more powerful character. One who has come full circle.

I don’t refer to or think of Ridge and his offspring as Marone-Forrester…Eric doesn’t.

Steffy isn't strong at all. Her main weapons are blackmail and browbeating the other person into seeing things her way. I don't think that's strength.

Taylor is weak. Thomas is somewhat fragile although he’s worked on himself…via Taylor….so…? Steffy I see as strong. Nobody is like Stephanie…thank goodness. She was difficult to take at times.

I don’t refer to or think of Ridge and his offspring as Marone-Forrester…Eric doesn’t.

This marone thing from ancient days isn’t even mentioned ….Ridge carry’s Eric’s last name so I don’t get the big who hoe about calling them marones ..

Taylor is weak. Thomas is somewhat fragile although he’s worked on himself…via Taylor….so…? Steffy I see as strong. Nobody is like Stephanie…thank goodness. She was difficult to take at times. I would prefer to see Brooke single and strong. Men in her life, yes…married, not so much. I think she’d be a more powerful character. One who has come full circle.

You are right, Eric has always accepted Ridge as his own. In fact, Ridge has been Eric's favorite.

I would just have a personality clash with Steffy. I like people who are quiet and reserved and not so opinionated.

I, too, don't want to see Brooke have more marriages. She's been married enough.

Stephanie was determined to have her own way. We really don't need a copy of her. LOL

When Eric found out about Ridge and Quinn, he reminded Ridge that he was a Marone.

Hi looks like Brooke or Taylor never learn why they want this moron conceited jerk astounds me..they both look like mature women in a rut
