Why is it that Taylors mistakes are horrible and she should be flogged by ten thousand Brooke fans? Brooke may not have tried to rescue her child while under the influence and for that Taylor should have used better judgment. But a lot of mothers would probably panic if they thought their child-grown or not-was in imminent danger. As for Taylor deceiving Thorne-as I recall-there were several times she wanted to tell Thorne, but others kept discouraging her-ie Phoebe and Hector. The poor woman was horrified with what had happened-who wouldn't be. Brooke has certainly done her fair share of deceiving people as well. She is not some prima donna who has never hurt others with her actions as well. But neither is Taylor. BOTH women need to get over themselves. Brooke needs to stay with her destiny, and leave Taylors next relationship alone, whoever that may be. And Taylor is not the only one who deceived Thorne. Donna used him to get back at Stephanie. Scheming was involved there, not so with Taylor. Donna is very manipulative. Even Katie saw through her sisters scheme. I hope Ridge and Brooke stay married after all this, and Taylor moves on and finds a decent non pingponging man. There ARE still decent ones, that are not so liberal minded. This is what Taylor needs, with her beliefs. |

As a Brooke fan, I agree with you both women have their share of mistakes. Taylor was in a panic and it was an accident. I think we need to be a little more forgiving of both characters. Brooke was raised without a father and is always looking for male approval. While Taylor was raised without a mother and her dad was an alcoholic. She had to become the mom in the family so to me it seems sometimes she has low selfesteem . She needs to find someone not connect to Brooke or her family . Maybe a new character, an old beau from college, or bring back Pierce. Brooke and Ridge hopefully will be left alone with no interference from Stephanie. |

Brooke's wreckless behavior when Ridge struck Rick, was really no different than Taylor's when Phoebe was in harm's way! The only difference is that a woman died in Taylor's case, but through an unfortunate set of circumstances. Darla was as much responsible for her own death as Phoebe was for hers...and it was intentionally written that way! Bell wanted a direct comparison between the two instances! Neither woman is a saint, because both women are flawed! Both love their children dearly, and that suits me! Both have said things about each other that I disagree with. |

You've made some good points, but I'd have to disagree with Darla being as responsible for her death as Phoebe is for hers. Darla was in the process of doing a good deed, and accidentally fell onto the road. If Taylor had gone along with the terms of her probation and NOT driven, this might not have had the outcome it did. WE don't know exactly how much Taylor had to drink, but it doesn't take much alcohol to dull the senses and slow down the reaction time. Perhaps foggy thinking is why she chose to drive when she knew she wasn't supposed to, instead of calling the police, who could have gotten to Phoebe a whole lot faster than Taylor could anyway. And.....the added benefit of the police being armed and able to handle the man who Phoebe thought was bothering her. As for Rick.......he didn't invite Phoebe into his car, she came uninvited. He was sober and driving in a normal manner. Phoebe not only didn't put on her seatbelt, but she grabbed the wheel of the car and purposely made Rick lose control. There is no way, IMO, that you can compare that with what Darla did. As always, though.....JMO. |

Quote compactcheese: I think Brooke is a Dog,and I hope and Taylor get to be happy finely Brooke is not a saint. Taylor is not a saint. The idea that Taylor is a saint, moral compass--or any better than Brooke is a total fabrication--mainly by Stephanie (to support her purpose of putting Brooke down). Vile, exaggerated name-calling seems to be generally done by Taylor fans. The Brooke fans don't resort to rude baits as often--when in fact-- one could make the same nasty comments regarding Taylor. No need to compare the two--to try and say Brooke has been worse--it's just not so-Taylor has done plenty. The point is that more Taylor fans go overboard when referencing Brooke (than vice-versa). It seems that it may be done out of spite--to support Taylor, but it just comes off looking badly. |

However, that's not saying that Darla wouldn't have been hit by someone else! As I pointed out in another post, Darla was wearing dark colored clothes and trying to change the tire with the car too close to the road! Phoebe felt threatened and should have called the police vs a family member at risk! Taylor should have called someone else, but I understand as a mother, why she went herself! Where the bloody H e double toothpicks was her father? He wasn't with Brooke because she was still with Nick! |

I hope Ridge and Brooke stay married after all this, and Taylor moves on and finds a decent non pingponging man. There ARE still decent ones, that are not so liberal minded. This is what Taylor needs, with her beliefs. The latest problem I have with Taylor (there are many) is that she actually schemed and plotted with Stephanie to break up Bridge. It was a plan!!! She knew their history, she has warned others to not get involved. I didn't think she should've been angry with Ridge, because, had she and Stephanie not interferred in the first place her feelings would not have gotten hurt. So, I do agree, please move on Taylor, hopefully sooner than later! If Taylor really wanted to tell Thorne that she was the one who hit his wife that night, she had many opportunities to do so. She didn't have to get engaged to the man!!! She even tried to play "mommy" to his little girl and she wasn't having it. (If Brooke had done this, she would still be rotting in a jail cell). Everyone knows Brookes history, and I will be the first to admit yes, she has schemed, in the past, but who on this show hasn't? |

Now how can YOU call anybody ignorant?? If you read carefully--I said that Taylor fans are generally the ones to be rude with (Brooke)exaggerated name-calling, and they seem to bait more often. I did not say every Taylor fan, and I don't assume anything- it is rampant on the Board. You-- apparently are an example and proved the point. |
