Taylor DID NOT dump Ridge. She was so desperate to get him she kept Thomas' dirty secrets from him. She literally BEGGED him not to leave. Ridge said he was done with her and left her at the altar. He made the decision to end the engagement and ran straight to Brooke, who said she needed time. The next day he went to her and she turned him down.

Thank you. She waited for him all day in her dirty wedding dress and he didn’t even bother to text to let her know if he would be back or not. Then she pulled a sour grapes and pretended to make a big show of dumping him, when she never even really had him to dump in the first place. Classic hypocrite Taylor.

It would get the show publicity but the ratings would tank. That can’t be Brooke’s life because of her history. Give that to Sheila, Thomas, Quinn, Paris, Flo, etc.

Right. My whole life I've been told how much Brooke LOVES men and sex with MEN, being appealing to MEN. Now this??? It wouldn't work for me.

Exactly right. Doesn’t work. Doesn’t fit. It’s far more interesting and more creative to portray them as newfound best friends of a certain age who care for and love one another but not as a romantic couple.

They need to slow down. The pacing was better with Stephanie and Brooke's relationship. That was more believable to me.

I knew it they are the new golden gals ….it could be interesting ….they could date bring something new to the show…..just as long as they aren’t. Giggly wiggles acting like teens…could they be bi sexual partners who knows

I feel like this is a form of conditioning or grooming from a soap opera. I will never watch another episode of B&B if they take us down this path with two characters that have had the history of Brooke and Taylor who were always adversaries, it is nonsense! Bell takes a serious s/l and makes a joke of it.

It would be nice that two women of a certain age can just find that they can be dear friends and not go beyond that. I’d say where no man has gone before but plenty of men have gone there with both of them. :lol

But yeah, I don’t want them as a couple just because it doesn’t fit their history together and I think the writers would do it just to be ..I don’t know what the word is…just to do what seems to be current. With the times. It would be far more creative to show these two women as new found best friends who deeply care about and love each other. But not as a romantic couple.

They'd do it to be shocking because two iconic heterosexual female soap characters deciding love knows no boundaries and hooking up after decades of one of the characters being charred for using her "body" and "sex" to get men, suddenly wants a female.

That's what would be the biggest problem for me above everything. I have spent decades living Brooke's sexual awareness journey but they want to throw in a hairpin turn NOW???

Aw so they fall in love ……lovely couple …I wonder if Carter officiates……it would be different and that’s a twist

Ridge dumped Taylor at the alter.

I don't think the show is going to go there. I think the head writers think this is actually how female friends act. And KA & KKL are just having fun with it. Bell has teased that kind of thing before, but they never go for it.

I am also opposed because it feeds into the stereotype that women are with other women because they have been hurt or dumped by a man. It would have to be a slow burn, and I don't believe this show could do it correctly.

Brooke and Stephanie friendship came out of a tragedy - Stephanie’s cancer. Brooke showed strength and character.
Stephanie admired that and they became friends. She still wanted Taylor as Ridge’s wife.because she could control Taylor

Please don't let Taylor and Brooke end up being a couple.

I don't see Bell Jr doing this except for shock value.
If he chooses to do this I feel it would be an insult to the LGBTQ+ community. Neither of these adult women have shown tendencies to be drawn to women. Suddenly they are drawn to each other. Makes NO sense.
This is LA. The fashion world. If you want to tell a story like this do it right from the start. Bring in actors and actresses who are part of that community. Make the story inclusive. Tell it well.
Don't have KKL and KA be forced to tell a story that neither woman can relate to or understand.
