The Bold and the Beautiful - MESSAGE BOARDS

I think that Taylor indirectly fed Ridge the drugs which is as bad as directly giving it to him.

From a legal perspective, she is an enabler. If Ridge had died from an overdose, Taylor would definately be charged. She gave him the first pill and besides that Stephanie did make her aware of the fact that Ridge was observed taking her medication, so she is indirectly responsible for his addiction.

Once she became aware of Ridge taking her pills, she should have made an extra effort to keep the pills out of his reach, instead she left her purse conveniently lying around for him to help himself to more pills.

Yes, Ridge is an adult but he is also human and was incapacitated at the time. Simple, Ridge's history of heart problems should have raised Taylor's sense of awareness in this situation.

Brooke has not been with every man on this show. She has not been with Dante, Clark, Massimo, Pierce, Hector, Adam Alexander, Shane, Rocco, Lt, Baker, Bill Spencer Jr. or Sr., Sly, Thomas, C.J. Blake Hayes, Zach Hamilton or his father, Whip, Owen, Giovanni, Jake, Oscar, Dylan, or Prince Omar. So it seems that she didn't have to have every man.

Michaelee you have a very good point. She is an enabler. Grandmarose you go girl!!!!

Okay so at last count Taylor had slept with her daughters ex-boyfriend Rick, not good. But Brooke slept with her daughters husband, Deacon and became pregnant. And if that wasn't bad enough, she slept with her daughters SECOND husband Nick. I don't care what her logic was-sleeping with your daughters husbands-ex or not is plain gross. That to me is why Brooke is beneath Taylor, even though Taylor should have steered clear of Rick.

they've both slept with everyone. When someone starts manipulating your emotions, along with his mother that is when its over the top. Manipulations are much more damaging to your spirit.

Manipulating peoples emotions is wrong, especially Stephanie manipulating Ridges concerning Brooke. But Ridge is an adult, he does not HAVE to listen to his mother OR Taylor. BUT sleeping with your own childs ex and getting pregnant by your daughters husband while your daughter is still married to him is about as low as you can go. Sorry, but thats worse then anything Taylor has EVER done. And Taylor might have been drinking but I do not think for one second that she had malicious aforethought in ACCIDENTALLY killing Darla. Brooke WAS scheming when she slept with Deacon. In her mind she did it to try to prove to her daughter Bridgette that Deacon was no good. EXCUSE ME! What mother sleeps with her daughters husband to prove to that daughter that the husband isn't any good?!?! And Taylor needs counseling? GMAB

Shademorgis usually when people are being manipulated they dont have a clue. Therefore the name manipulation. They,ve all done bad things,but the whole idea of using her grown kids and death as an excuse to be together is really disgusting. Why would you want something so disgustingly weak and pathetic rising out of misery. Taylor needs someone strong and Ridge is definitely not the one. Ridge and Brooks relationship is more interesting and passionate because of the strength of Brook. Just a difference in character,nothing else.

It is simple. Brooke owns up to her short comings whereas Stephanie and Taylor act like they do not have any. I mean Taylor killed someone because she was driving drunk and Stephanie has forgotten all about that.
Stephanie lied to Eric for years about Ridge and their daughter Angela, but we are not suppose to remember that. She is a two-faced hipocrite.

I don't remember the SL suggesting that Brooke was scheming to prove Deacon as no good when she had sex with him.

I remember Deacon (being the dog that he was) continued to pursue Brooke who finally gave in to the desire (disgusting as it was). It was unfortunate that she got pregnant in the act. Brooke knew it was a mistake.

It is ridiculous to try to say Taylor is any better than Brooke. Taylor has been underhanded from the beginning interjecting herself into Brooke's life when she was supposed to be professionally counseling Ridge.
The worst thing that Taylor did IMO was to cover up killing Darla (even though it was an accident) and then get involved with her husband!

Taylor has been at least as low as Brooke--more than that she has been a BIG hyprocrite!!

Now you all can see why I titled this topic Miss perfect Brooke. No matter what she has done there is always an excuse for her. The same does not seem to apply to Taylor or Stephanie though.

Actually NO--I do not see why you chose the title
"Miss Perfect Brooke"...

I don't think Brooke is perfect as most seem to think
(including Brooke)...

To Brooke's credit--she doesn't seem to make excuses to think she is perfect...and unlike Taylor and Stephanie...Brooke doesn't see herself as a moral example...

Maybe you should have titled the post "Miss Perfect Taylor and Miss Perfect Stephanie" ...
you seem to need to excuse them.
