The Bold and the Beautiful - MESSAGE BOARDS

Because most of the characters on the show actually LIKE her, including Brooke AND Stephanie. Jackie has set the standard by forgiving Stephanie. Stephanie and the Logans, including Beth harbor resentments, IMO. Jackie rules!

I AGREE. But sadly looks like stupid steffy is gonna steal her husband gahhhhhhhhhh. Why do they do that to strong woman give them the world then just rip it out from underneath them. Mabey I guess to prove resilaince. idk

I love Jackie and God knows that I do. However, I want Elizabeth Henderson Logan to be the next matriarch, because she should've been the first because she was supposed to be Eric's wife and not Steph

Judy-I agree that Stephanie is the number one choice, of course. But if SF ever leaves, who would be the matriarch? Gawd not a logan of any way, shape, or form. Who else is there? I'd quit watching if they made Brooke, Donna, or even Beth the matriarch.

I have never defined my family with a matriarchal figure! My mother was interfering, interjecting, opinionated, stubborn, and...a troublemaker! I loved her just the same, but her view on life differed from mine. A matriarchal figure is not needed!

Forgot to add! Brad Bell must have somehow met my mother, many years ago, and fashioned the role after her!

I have tried for years to convince my two kids, ages 38 and 48 that "I" am the matriarch of this family, but so far they have not bought it!! Sounds like something back in the olden days to me, my mom came as close as anyone that I have ever known, but she would not have liked that title at all..

Funny about your mother, Touched, I would have sworn she was fashioned after my dearly departed mother-in-law!!! But Bell could not have even made Stephanie that bad!!

My mother is Swedish and Irish. She is another Stephanie. She has imposed in my life, regarding my daughter, so I know exactly what its like to have a mom like Stephanie. And my mother-in-law isn't any better. I think it makes our families angry that my husband and I have been married for 29 years now, and have no intentions of calling it quits. They can't say see I told you so, it didn't work out. LOL But I still love my mother and mother-in-law dearly. They are both matriarches in my opinion.
