Brooke the only alcoholic. As I can remember Taylor was leaning over baby Jack’s crib with a bottle for him and one for Taylor. Also a drunk Taylor drove a killed Thorne’s wife and then was going to marry him until he found out. Taylor made her daughter Phoebe crazy over the lying and made Ali nuts. Steffy took care if her though
Don’t remember Brooke doing any of those things

Exactly...Brooke´s alcoholism is practically celebrated by the show as if she were the only one who ever had it...as we all know Taylor is not only an alcoholic too, she was a heavy drinker for many years. Still she is now downing gin-and-tonics as if they were orange juice...
Katie is an alcoholic too, Bill is and Steffy had an addiction to opioids...but it seems they all are "healed" now and only Brooke´s alcoholism is still an issue...

No. Taylor had a few months of drinking after she lost her family again.
Then a short relapse when Brooke harassed her during her relationship with Nick after she declared a « anyone but Taylor » war she won BTW
Another occasion when Brooke worked hard to destroy a marriage and family and didn’t pay

Yeah I remember Taylor drunk trying to feed baby Jack and drink her bottle at the same time.
Taylor was warned about not driving because of her drinking. She did anyway and killed Darla. Made her daughter crazy because she didn’t want Phoebe to tell the truth. Lying to Thorne, moving in with him and keeping from him knowing she mowed over his wife. Taylor also confessed to being so drunk she picked up men she didn’t even know
Years later Taylor, knowing Ali wanting nothing more to do with her, started up with Thorne. Then her daughter Steffy finished the poor girl off
Sorry it seems Taylor does much more damage drinking than Brooke

And I remember ALL THAT happened because Brooke interfered

Taylor was warned about not driving because of her drinking. She did anyway and killed Darla.

Warned by whom ?
This night she drove bc her daughter asked her for help
She accidentally killed Darla and it was inevitable as Darla fell on the way.
That was ruled an accident after a trial. Case closed.

Made her daughter crazy because she didn’t want Phoebe to tell the truth.

No. The contrary happened. Taylor wanted to come clean and Phoebe didn’t want her to.

Lying to Thorne, moving in with him and keeping from him knowing she mowed over his wife.
Taylor also confessed to being so drunk she picked up men she didn’t even know

So ? Casual sex isn’t a crime when you re single is it ? This last a few months … while Brooke picked up men on bars for decades as Rick and Bridget complained about it

Years later Taylor, knowing Ali wanting nothing more to do with her, started up with Thorne. Then her daughter Steffy finished the poor girl off

Self defense …

Sorry it seems Taylor does much more damage drinking than Brooke

Brooke’s damages are more insidious… she destroyed her Bridget s confidence and directly drove Hope to anxiety pills with her advice to “take away Steffy s power” …

Actually Taylor was not allowed to drive because her licence was suspended because she already had been caught driving drunk. This evening she had drunk alcohol again and still she got in a car, driving without a license and under the influence...

Exactly, what Taylor did was premediated and self-centered. Like the true narcissist that she is, she only was concerned about her needs and wants.. We saw her telling herself she shouldn't get behind the and drive, but she could care less about the others on the road. In my opinion Taylor committed 1st degree murder in Darla's death and contributed greatly into Aly's death.

Hello,, anyone who gets behind the wheel of a car and drives drunk and kills someone is guilty of murder, just like if someone shoots, stabs, or bashes someone with a blunt object and leads to their victims death. This woman is supposedly a highly educated woman who knew exactly what she was doing. SHE even has dialogue with herself telling her not to drive that night because she was drunk. Taylor knew that Darla was close by and that Darla was helping Phoebe, but Taylor selfishly had to get behind the wheel drunk.... The only real reason why Taylor got off is because the trio of Hector, Taylor, and Phoebe lied and covered up her crime and Dt Hot Dog could not put her behind the wheel of the car like he suspected. He knew she was in the car and that she was drunk. The other reason is because of Thornes victim statement and because she plays the victim very well.. Legally Taylor got away with murder, but morally she still committed murder. Just like Steffy got away with covering up bashing the head of an unarmed Aly...

As for Aly, Taylor drove that girl insane because she killed her mother and was shagging her father. She could not handle Taylor replacing her mother... If Taylor had not killed her mother, then Aly would have been able to handle Taylor with her father... Even in her last rage with Steffy, she revealed to Steffy that the root of her issues was because of Taylor and Steffy. No matter what, the facts cant be changed to excuse Taylor's crimes and death that follows Taylor... Just like with Aly, Taylor is also responsible for her own daughters death...

I am entitled to my opinion in this matter.

You're seriously calling a mental illness "folly"?
What Rick and Maya did to Aly was sick, but they didn't cause Aly's illness, she was already portrayed as a disturbed child shortly after her mother's death. The reason for her issues as a teenager was that Thorne had made the huge mistake of pushing Taylor on his little daughter even after he knew that she was responsible for Darla's death and that the WRP believed it was a good idea to play house with a little girl whose mother she had killed.

What jury? Was there a trial after Aly's death? I can't remember anything like this. The only thing I remember is Lt Baker paying Steffy a visit at her office and asking her what happened. Steffy just lied to his face and Baker assumed it was the truth and closed the investigation. Just like for Emma's death. Sanchez questionned Thomas, he lied and got away with it.

Taylor was driving under the influence and with a suspended license because of accidents she caused. She lied to the police about someone else hitting Darla and they wasted valuable time looking for someone that didn't even exist. She should have not been on that road and Darla should still be alive.

Yes and she confessed all that, took responsibility for everything, including Hector who tampered with the evidences while she was in shock.
She went to jail, faced a jury.

Taylor only confessed about killing Darla after Hope outed her to Aly. Taylor could have called Ridge or someone else to help Phoebe that night. Taylor had no business behind a wheel of a car after drinking and with a suspended license.

It was senseless because Phoebe told Taylor that she called Darla and that Darla was on her way to her because she was almost to Thorne and Darla's house. So it is not like Taylor did not know that Darla had help on the way... Taylor even had a dialogue with herself telling her that Darla would take care of Phoebe and that she should stay put and let Darla handle it.

It's Brooke's fault Hope had to take anti anxiety pills? Not the step sister who was virgin shaming her and telling her man she would have sex with him if Hope wasn't ready? Or the man who put a listening device in her therapist's office? Not the person who bought illegal pills from the internet and left them on her desk with a forged note from the therapist instructing her to take them?

Taylor told the truth to Thorne because he proposed and he wanted to marry her, they didn’t bc of Ally
Phoebe begged Taylor not to confess bc she didn’t want to loose her again but ultimately Taylor freely confessed when she had no chance to get caught

Brooke didn’t have an accident while driving to rescue her daughter like Taylor. Usually Broooke is too busy stabbing her in the back to care

Don't you mean that the other way around? Taylor used Stephanie to solved most of her problems. Especially with Ridge. Always trying to get Stephanie to do her dirty work. Stephanie usually did for Taylor. I hate how they have white washed Taylor. She is totally boring. I like the way Hunter played her. This woman is clueless. Taylor could play her part very well. Just like Brooke. They are older now and should a more mature story line. Taylor is getting a little long in the tooth for the school girl act.

What's the point? A lot of characters had to deal with alcohol issues over the years. Including Bill, Deacon, Ridge, Katie (Macy, if we include past characters). Other women like Steffy, Hope and Amber had pills addictions.

The point is the show acting as if Brooke is the only one having problems with alcohol while other known alcoholics (Taylor, Deacon...) are shown downing alcohol like it´s no big deal.

I don’t understand…Brooke is the one currently battling her demons. Apparently others with the same addiction are managing it at this time. Some stay sober for forevermore and some may not. I guess as upset as Taylor was about Steffy’s being shot and Finn’s supposedly being killed, and as upset she had become about Ridge and his still being with, or always going back to, Brooke, she didn’t for whatever reason feel the need or the pull or the temptation to turn to alcohol. Doesn’t make Taylor any better than Brooke. They all have their struggles. No one I know of is faulting Brooke for hers.
