When I heard the show wrote Douglas behaving in a dismissive way towards Liam, I realized that this is the way things are going to be. If they have turned that sweet boy into a Forrester brat, as good as Liam has been to him, I think this is the way things are going to be. The spoilers suggests more of the same. There is no karma episode in sight. If you don’t care for the Tridgesters this is not show for you. They will continue to be in charge, manipulative, snarky, and controlling of others.

I think things will turn around eventually...but at this point...I'm tired of waiting...and have tuned out. I just read recaps...and have been mostly since Thomas was pointing a knife at Brooke. It's been almost an entire year of this nonsense...and I refuse to watch anymore of it.

I think someone has convinced Bell to return the story to Forresters which would be Ok if there were more of them but this Tridgester branch is unbearable. It’s too much emphasis on them.

I've never known this show to not be about the Forresters and the Logans and Spencers. That's what it was from Day-One. In my view, there is no turning it "back to" the Forresters. The Forresters cannot have a show without the other families.

It's discouraging but the show sometimes comes around. This whole year has been an entire year of suffering, but it's what the show does. For example, Hope suffered for like two or three years straight since AN took over. There was no end to it. Then, they gave Hope a year or two with Liam being pretty much happy. Now, it's changing again. They "think" they did the same thing with Bridge, now it's shaking it up again.

Like I was saying, if the Logans and Spencers aren't there, the Forresters will have no one to interact with. If Steffy, Thomas, and Taylor all get what they want -- there's no plot anymore. What's next for them then? How is there a soap drama if all they do is meet at Eric's and pat themselves on the back?

Or we could ask why they build so much up against the Logans. Or the Spencers.

Don't get me wrong, the Faux Forresters are a horrid bunch right now, but I assume different fans feel different things. I'd figure Batie fans hated how they put Katie with Wyatt and then Thorne. But others might have loved it.

What I do know is that since the beginning, this has been Brooke's show. And it will continue to be until KKL steps down.

I hate them all now, and if Eric doesn't stand up for Brooke, then I'm going to hate Eric as well. I can't watch the Faux Forresters. They are sickening.

I agree. I hate the show so much now I just read the board. Before everyone finds out what Thomas has done, we have watch more of this garbage or have Hope with Thomas ruining her marriage to Liam. Watching Taylor and Steffy’s superior attitudes regarding getting Ridge back. I will just continue read the board

Yeah, that's gonna happen, and Steffy speaks with all the warmth of a prehistoric arctic fish these days. I guess that's her supercilious tone, but it comes off dead-faced to me. But we'll be seeing it and hearing it. There will be Steffy with all her robotic charm, Taylor, who's reliving her "Grease" days as the brunette Sandra D, Thomas who is cynical and cruel in tone, self-righteous and bloated with gloat. Then there's the raggedy-dressed designer, who I'd prefer to see in scarves than drab business suits as he sits on the fence like Humpty Dumpty, waiting for a fall that might not come.

And the falls don't always come, especially when it comes to Thomas.

This show has seriously become to far gone to watch for me, they are ruining so many characters, Carter,Katie and now Hope, Brooke still thinks Ridge is her destiny and some people think Bill and Li should pair up when they have absolutely nothing in common and absolutely no chemistry Bill is hot and crazy like Fox and Li is matronly at best...sorry that's my opinion...Wyatt is never around Bill has absolutely no SL he's like an extra Katie and Carter will soon be flinging each other all around Carters apartment where he and Quinn left off because she's gone now also....Donna and Eric are back burners you very rarely ever see Finn so basically it's the Faux Forrester show with sweet little Douglas now following in his crazy father's footsteps and Hope completely losing her mind and slithering around Thomas like he's some kind of new hot designer....They are making all the bad people succeed in their horrific plots and are making the ones who are normally decent act completely out if character and this is just from reading the message boards cause I have not watched the show for a few weeks and if Hope and Tom hook up....I'm Done.....this show is going down hill big time and there is nothing left to look forward to.

Bill & Li have zero chemistry. Matronly is actually a great word for Li. There is nothing wrong with that, but a pairing with Bill makes no sense.

I don't think Li looks matronly, but she's not Bill's type, that's for sure. I would like to see them develop a solid friendship.

No, it's coming. From the time they revealed Thomas as the CPS caller, I suspected they would have Thomas get everything he wanted, only to lose it all when the truth came out. I think having higher stakes makes the story and any comeuppance more interesting.

I have been wondering the same thing. This seems to be the new BB?
Agree, if I don’t like the new nasty atmosphere and the Tridgesters, which I don’t, then this show isn’t for me.
The Spencer’s seemed relegated to the restaurant for family time, etc.
Even if Thomas’ call comes to light, I doubt it will change anything very much.
I, also, am beginning to think karma is no longer something that will come for the Forresters.
My hiatus from watching the show, hoping things might change, may become permanent. There is nothing to look forward to anymore.

I barely ever watch it anymore. Taylor ruined the entire show when she came back. I wish she'd just get on her broom and go back to Paris or Africa and stay put. Never darken LA again.

I think this Taylor saturation has ruined the show. I thought they needed to bring Taylor back, and even have her part of the main cast, around a lot, but this forcing her into every single scene of the show for months, was overkill. This show has been about Taylor and Steffy almost all year. But, not in an interesting way. It has been about them whining, complaining, telling people how they feel about others, manipulating, gas-lighting, trashing Brooke, etc. It never let up. Even when we had to watch Steffy lay in a bed like a lump for a month, it never let up. We are getting a reprieve from it right now...sort of. At least one of the Hamilton Harpies has been gone for 2 weeks....and it has been wonderful not to have to listen to her psychobabble kumbaya harping. But Snarky Hamilton is still around. I am kind of hoping the rumor is true, and JMW is pregnant again, at least Steffy would be gone again at some point, for a few weeks. LOL

She will go. If they can't find plots for Quinn, I know there's nothing for the boring doctor. What can she possibly do now but serve as Ridge's scarf, hanging on him or advising her bebe kids?
