The Bold and the Beautiful - MESSAGE BOARDS

Say it long enough and then you will get a picture of how the writers brains work.

This is starting to remind me of the board, just a year ago! This is the sixth thread, so only four more needed!

and they are surprised why somebody doesen't like brooke.it is not normal anymore what the writers do, men they creat someone that is bigger than god. nobody has a life without any setbacks and difficult moments in their life but when you see that brooke get everything that what she has want and is always the nr 1 than it is not nice to see anymore. I know it is a soap but a littele bit from the real life is for many people also a littele nice to see.when you have work where is so much trouble than it would be nice to see that there is also a pair real moments in the soap

Brooke can do no wrong. Even when she does wrong it is justified and quickly forgiven. But everyone else they hold a grudge on them forever. Stephanie and Brooke could do the same thing, and no one will talk to Stephanie, but Brooke was justified, especially by Ridge & Eric. In there eyes she does no wrong.

I know that every one has a turn to do some thing wrong and have to pay for it but that is the point I think when brooke does some thing wrong she does not have to pay for it because everything is forgiven her and when some one doeen't it is only for one or two episodes and oh brooke is forgiven. why i ask meself especilly eric and ridge. ridge is the worst,do think about nick when he slept with brooke when they thought he whas killed in the oven how whas to blame and did whas not longer "his brother" nick and brooke whas forgiven after one or two episode's maybe and when stephanie did something she whas not longer"his mother" and brooke forgiven and their are more things why always brooke that is getting so ugly. when do the writers give some body else a change and give brooke the time that now everybody else get that do something wrong. that is olso nice for the not brooke fans??

After reading some of these post, the question should be can Brooke do any good. Ever time she does something nice, her past is brought up. If she had gone to Paris, it would have been said what kind of mother leaves her kids, and what about Forrester how can she leave them, and I thought she loved Ridge why is she leaving? She is trying to help save Forrester, how dare she. She is being protective of her baby sister and she is seen as being jealous. Good thing she has loyal fans, because this fan knows better and isn't buying. I don't bash but I do stay loyal.

Actually a lot of Brooke fans do like Stephanie, they like all the interaction between her and Brooke. There is a love-hate relationship there that always provides great scenes. Brooke has always wanted Stephanie's love and respect and to this day is still trying to win her over. Eric has shown love and concern for her also. Just recently he was looking at a picture album and remembering all the good times. I like Stephanie, she is one of the core actors and she is important.

I agree with all-grandmarose.

Actually -Brooke is not the only one forgiven.

Stephanie didn't suffer much for the part she played in Brooke's rape--not to mention the other things she has staged/ how she has interfered with lives --that really invaded other's lives -and so much unwarranted.

It is touching how Brooke continues to reach out to Stephanie, and how Brooke never reciprocates the degree of meanness to Stephanie -as she receives from her --
Brooke very well could have (like sticking it to Stephanie so much worse with the Chronicles).
I think Stephanie has been wrong with her treatment of Brooke, but I don't think Stephanie is all bad.
I enjoy the Stephanie character.

Everyone got over quickly the fact that Taylor killed Darla.
Yes, it was an accident--but her cover-up of it was quickly passed. She has been forgiven for abusing alcohol, degrading herself with nameless men, and giving up her child.
I think Taylor was wrong to take advantage of Ridge's mental
state (both times) to insert herself in Ridge's life (when she knew he loved Brooke). I know she has continued to pay
for that.
I don't dislike the Taylor character.
I think Ridge belongs with Brooke, but I enjoy the character
of Taylor, and I am interested to see the direction the writers will take her.

It is sad to think Stephanie may soon be written
off the Soap. I wonder how that SL will go.

I agree that Brooke isn't the only one who gets forgiven, but you do have to admit...especially where Eric is concerned that he will ignore plenty more when it comes to her. Sure he has a special place in his heart for Stephanie, but he does tend to hold her more accountable. Yes, plenty has been done that was unwarranted, but Brooke has had her share of interfering when she had no place to. Honestly, I think that Stephanie would have liked to approve of Brooke, but with Brooke being with Eric, Ridge AND Thorne, as well as her actions with Deacon and Nick, Stephanie simply looks upon her as a homewrecker and an extremely narcissitic person. Heck, even Bridget told her mother she was those things. Brooke always wants what she can't have it seems. When she and Stephanie are doing the easy going banter I love it. Brooke does want Stephanie's approval and I think deep down Stephanie wants to give it; she just an't get past many of the things Brooke has done. I actually like Brooke much more than I care for Donna; I really have no use for that character at all.

Stephanie certainly suffered because of Brooke's rape. Legally she isn't responsible, but she certainly paid in a personal way with Eric and Ridge, but honestly, we could debate till the cows come home about how long they would make any character pay for anything on a soap. There wouldn't be any S/L or characters; they all be dead or in jail somewhere.

And for the record....I'm not sure Brooke deserves Ridge...nobody deserves to have to deal with that man

Yes, bbgirl--Eric seems to consider Brooke to be very dear.
He has said to Ridge --how special it is to be loved by Brooke.
It looks like Eric still has high regard for Brooke.
I have always felt that Eric was very disappointed that his marriage with Brooke did not work out.
It didn't look like--for a long time--that Eric really got over Brooke.
Maybe Donna has filled that void for him--time will tell.
I have always wanted Eric to be happy.

Eric seemed unfulfilled with Stephanie, but I think Eric has
special love for Stephanie.

Brooke has definitely made mistakes--and has been scandalous at times.

I said Brooke belongs with Ridge--deserve is another
thought.
As the SL has seemed to go--those two were always
much in love--but much came between them.

Actually, I have always liked Ridge--I don't consider him to be a playboy as some posters have expressed.
True--when the Soap began--he was shown to be a playboy then--
and he continued to be a player after becoming engaged to
Caroline. He changed though -after his marriages.
Ridge did the back/forth with Brooke and Taylor, and he has always found female interest when on the outs from those two--
but he has not really been a playboy--a real player.
He is constantly around gorgeous models and he has restraint, etc.
Ridge has been annoying with his lack of mental strength and incapacity to deal with emotional issues.
His emotional distress in making decisions, and his not being man enough to put people and situations in their respective place-- has been more than irritating.

But like you said this is a Soap--so that is how it is.

Is there ever going to be a post that contains Brooke, that doesn't change up and end up against Taylor and Stephanie?
So predictable.
