The Bold and the Beautiful - MESSAGE BOARDS

Ridge was drinking wine & taking Valium (like it was candy)
Take it easy, RIDGE, are you trying to take yourself out of here?

Maybe you should seek Professional help?
(with the aid from anyone OTHER than Taylor)

Maybe Ridge is just thinking he doesn't really care anymore and is subconsiousally trying to overdose.Taylor knows not to mix alcohol with meds.This so stupid I am hating this s/l more everyday.

Whatever mood altering drug he was taking,I counted 5 pills. He wouldn't be able to function much less have sex. I Know its a soap opera but please give your audience some credit and quit painting them with the stupid brush. A story line has to have a little credibility.

Psych drugs and red wine - good going Ridge. How many of those pills did he eventually have - I think I counted five. That will get you a trip to the hospital that's for sure. Taylor needs to keep a tighter reign on her meds or not bring them at all when she is with Ridgie-poo.

Wow. I first saw him take one. Then he couldn't help himself and took 4 more. That's a total of 5 by my calculations! And wine on top of that. Hey, I'm no saint, but this spells catastrophe to me. If anything happens to Ridge, I bet he'll be so delusional that he'll think that somehow Rick is responsible. And anyway, WHO SAYS OR KNOWS THAT THE DRUG IS VALIUM? ASSUMING? I SAID THIS BEFORE ON THE MESSAGE BOARDS, THERE ARE OTHER ANTI-ANXIETY MEDS, INCLUDING XANAX WHICH IS STRONGER THAN MOST AND HAS THE ABILITY TO WIPE YOUR MEMORY AND YOU CAN'T REMEMBER THINGS YOU'VE DONE OR SAID THE DAY BEFORE. You don't know what he's taking so stop saying VALIUM... you just don't know that. It could be something worse than Valium... please. If Stephanie continues to back this thing with Ridge and Taylor, it shows what a tyrant and horribly insane manipalutor she is. Obviously, caring more for the relationship just so she can stick it to Brooke, while Ridge is on his way to Rehab. Also, from what I saw, he stole her pills. Now he's into stealing drugs.... wow.. what's going to happen next. If Taylor has to drug Ridge to have sex with her, she's even more pitiful than what I original thought. Oh, God, Taylor is sooooooo damned insane and stupidly nasty. I wonder where her education was had? Don't psychiatrists in the making have to take oaths and behave appropriately and in the best interest of their patients? Geez, she's iterally killing Ridge for her own selfish reasons... i can't grasp this anymore... Brooke needs to know about this drugging by Taylor and I would love to see a brawl, a real brawl, between Taylor and anyone who wants to beat her up. I'll be the first in line.

I have been scared to death for Ridge since Taylor first gave him a pill the night they went to the cabin. Terribly afraid he is headed for an addition to Prescription Meds and after yesterday scared he may overdose. Ridge is so distraught I don't think he realizes just what he is doing. If he was in his right mind he'd never take even one. Don't want to see an overdose but maybe it will scare Steffy into finally breaking if off with Rick and scare Brooke enough to finally stay away.........of course nothing serious better happen to Ridge here or I will furious. He is the only reason I have ever watched B&B.

Everyone wants to blame Taylor. From what I see this is stephanies fault. Taylor is under the assumption that Ridge took only pills she gave him. She even told him if he needed more she could help him get a prescription. So now he is stealing the pills and the whole bottle. So Taylor doesn't know he has an issue. Stephanie should have told Taylor about what she saw and warned her to guard her pills.

I think is s/l is just sad. Taylor has been able to bed Ridge for 10 years without the help of pills. Give her more credit. Taylor should demand that the s/l be changed. This is getting ridiculous.

Ridge should have OD'd days ago and how do you get addicted to anxiety pills after 1 dose now Ridge is a junkie?? Does he have a past history of chemical dependency? Because this is the only reason a 40+ year old man could take 1 dosage and get dependent.

ITA with you Touched.I watched on Friday and it made me sick to watch the effect they were trying to show Ridge was having.I honestley think all of them should do Family counseling and their own time one on one with the best Physic the could buy.Really they way they showed Ridge vision was relly scarey.
I take maeds and had beer later and became a falling down hazord.Ridge should have passed out and no way been able to have sex.Maybe one of the writers have had this happen to them and just finished the show off of how they wish they would have been able to have sex.
