The Bold and the Beautiful - MESSAGE BOARDS

Drunk driving is a very serious offense and no one should take it lightly. Bottom line is, there is no excuse for Taylor's self-destructive behaviour, so it is useless trying to blame Darla's dark clothes or the fact that she was so close to the road on that foggy night.

Drinking causes one's vision to be impaired and it also affects one's judgement and ability to react in the case of an emergency. That is what happened to Taylor that night. No use coughing up excuses. If she was sober, I am certain that Taylor’s reaction would have been different that fateful night.

Drinking and driving is serious. Everyone has a responsibility to be upstanding enough to not put others in harms way. Having said that, Taylor should NOT have driven that night. The writers chose her character to make a point, but it also ended up trashing her character in the aftermath. Why have writers trashed so many characters on B&B and Y&R in recent years, yet glorified others. I think its all about the politically correct thing in society nowadays, but that doesn't mean its right. JMO

i am just as certain that Bell needed to do something horrific to taylor's charcter to make brooke look like a saint. cause we know the breacon thing just crucified her character.

but making taylor a drunken mommy killer did the trick...whenever brooke does something stupid, which is on a regular basis, immeaditly the song of the year starts being played...well at least she never killed anyone.

i mean she ripped apart marriages, destroyed people's mental capacity, turn her daughter first love into something ugly...but at least she never killed somebody


it amazes me how this show uses real people's serious diseses such as dementia and alcoholism tomake that bobble head brooke look good,

,Yes Brooke did kill someone,( Taylor) Taylor took a bullet that was meant for Brooke. When Shiela shot at Brooke Taylor stepped in front of Brooke and died. That caused one of Taylor's deaths. Taylor was thanked by Brooke by Brooke moving into her house and taking over Taylor's HUSBAND and family. Lesson learned: never take a bullet to save a snake. she will slither into your home and steal your family.

I believe Taylor grapped for the gun Sheila was holding and they struggled and she was shot, Brooke ran back to help Eric and she was shot. Brooke did not pursue the presumed widower Ridge. He went after her and even had to have his children propose because Brooke was very reluctant to marry him. How do you steal a husband from a wife who died. If you go further back I remember Sheila holding a gun to Stephanie, I believe Ridge, Brooke, and Eric were in the same room. Brooke stood in front of Sheila and told her she would have to shot her first. Brooke also came to Stephanie's aid when Sheila poisoned her and she was in the hospital, by reminder her how much she meant to her children, Rick and Bridget. We know Brooke is not a saint, she has made horrendous mistakes just like Taylor. You hate the accident that killed Darla and I despised the Deacon storyline. Sorry, we live with the SLs given to us.

Was that gun even loaded? Never in my mind did I even have the slightest idea that Brooke would have done such a thing. I believe Stephanie knew that also since she knows Brooke better than I. It was a bad s/l but I don't think she ever thought Brooke would take her up on it.
