The Bold and the Beautiful - MESSAGE BOARDS

Quote mdtuttle: Ridge thinks Storm should go to jail for shooting his mother. Frankly I agree, he comitted a crime and should answer for it. Brooke of course is going to make this all about Ridge not supporting her and use it as an excuse to go running back to Nick.

I so agreed with Ridge when Brooke whined about his mother saying "She was blackmailing us, that's illeagal" And Ridge answered "So is attemted murder Brooke."

Quote misterr: Didnt' Ridge kill Shane and not report it to the police?

Quote LUGER:


Yes, So he has a lot of nerve. He only came foward because of Brooke. He would have let Nick sit in jail for a murder he did not commit

Quote Touched:

I think you're giving Ridge way too much credit in the thought process department! Either that or he does remember he was in a precariuos position less than a year ago, what with helping to frame his half-brother for murder, when he was the one to pull the trigger, and couldn't take repsonsibility! It's actually Jack, and his daddy that give Ridge the most heartburn!

Quote leighann:

ITA with you on this one.

What I found interesting was the fact that it was Brooke who first approached Stephanie in the name of a 'truce' and attempted to manipulate her testimony - correct me if I am wrong, but isn't this [on some level] tampering with a witness to a crime, afterall Stephanie is the victim of the shooting?

And, what I find interesting is that Brooke does not get it - she is committing a crime today when being an accessory 'after the fact' when aiding in the scheme to avoid Storm from prosecution.

Whine all she wants about blackmail - there are no witnesses to this being said by Stephanie, just hearsay by a group of family members of the criminals.

While Stephanie may not name the shooter, whose to stop Ridge [who I believe is losing trust and respect for Brooke each time she opens her mouth].

I found it reprehensible of Eric to support Brooke and accuse Stephanie again with regard to the rape when attempting to justify his actions of late and covering up the attempted murder on behalf of his latest paramour.

How can he look Stephanie in the eye and say words to the effect that it is more important to save Storm from prison, than to hold the criminal accountable for his crime committed against the mother of his children?

Who is he to say, "that boy" is not going to prison, as if having any control over this being done?

Quote leighann:

There was a shooting - as to who shot Shane, whether Ridge or self inflicted, remains unresolved due to the struggle both were involved in.

However, there was a massive cover - up involved and tampering with evidence with Nick going to prison when framed.

Those involved, Ridge and Stephanie [Ridge dumped the dead body into the sea - illegal disposal of a human being remains is a crime].

There was eventually a court proceeding related.

Have yet to hear Ridge's sentencing in this regard.

Quote mdtuttle:

Once again Ridge did not pull the trigger that killed Shane. Shane was going to kill himself, ridge was trying to stop him. they struggled and the gun went off. Was he right to try and cover it up? Absolutly not! Without going into all the past problems with Grant once again Ridge reacted from fear. His actions were stupid and foolish no argument there. But you can not compare that to Storms premeditated action of trying to frame his father by shooting Stephanie because he was angry at him for years of neglect. Add to that the fact that somehow he thinks it is all Stephanie's fault that his father ran out on them years ago. The two are hardly the same.

Quote Touched:

I probably shouldn't have worded quite that way, because at the time I thought Shane had a death wish, but any way you look at it, Ridge had his hand was on the gun. He did find himself in a situation where he was assisting Stephanie in framing an innocent person for murder, much like Storm was trying to frame his father for attempted murder.

Quote mdtuttle:

I can't disagree with anything you have said. But once again we are comparing apples and orenges. I was talking about Ridge's reaction to Brooke knowingly covering up the fact that Storm purposely shot his mother. While I completly agree that Ridge's actions with regaurd to Shane were inexusable, it is a completly diffrent set of circunstances.
