I have to watch. I am too curious to see how this situation with pills and Hope turns out.

They are getting her addicted way too fast. But, the is the nature of a soap. lol Wonder if she will say something to the shrink? Are the ones Amber is providing the same as the ones Hope got from the doc?

I've been way for a couple of weeks, I was so fed up with the storyline I didn't do my usual and ask for an update from Naja! Just watching a couple of shows from in the middle of what I missed - did I miss anything other than more beating up of Hope and the arrival of this Caroline?

I think the big thing right now it that Amber found out that Hope's shrink refused to give her more anti-anxiety pills, so Amber got a bunch of them somehow and left them in Hope's office in packaging that made it seem like the shrink sent them, and now Hope is getting addicted. Also, Steffy is back at work and knows she is taking pills, but she doesn't know for what.
I don't know if this is significant, but it seemed like Ridge was overcome with memories of Caroline's aunt and their marriage. It's making him act a bit strange.
Also, it seems like seems like Brooke and Taylor are trying to force their sons into falling for Caroline.

The Hope and pills storyline just seems so fake. And I don't know why Forrester doesn't have a good enough PR person that they don't at least announce that Steffy and Liam have filed for divorce. I hadn't seen Steffy in the shows I watched so I wondered if they only had a fixed budget for 20yr old girls and had swapped her out and put Caroline in ;) ;).
Ridge crying over Caroline's ribbon tattoo (either today or yesterday) definitely seems "a bit strange." I only really know of Ridge and Caroline what they showed in flashback in that episode, and once or twice before they've shown him talking at her graveside. I almost wondered (but understand it might seem icky) if he was going to fall for her too, or at least get over-protective about Rick and Thomas fighting for her affections.

The Amber thing is bumming me out.
I hope to goodness, they do not play on the Caroline reminds folks of her aunt as a way for Ridge to fall for her. That would be a major yuck.
I wish someone would point out how very much Brooke is acting like Stephanie. lol And, her facial expressions are a little over the top.
OK, answer me this. In LA, are there no other beautiful women? Watching Rick and Thomas almost swoon over Caroline is way funny. They are in the industry! Gorgeous women are everywhere, and some are also smart and talented.
I did not watch today or yesterday. Did I miss anything?
I wish Oliver and Hope would hook up. Liam is too wishy washy.

Someone called Brooke "Stefanie" twice in one episode, it was the one with the party. I thought it was pretty funny, might have been Amber.
I'm not sure if I've seen today's episode or not, I deleted my season pass while I was away and am a bit mixed up on what days I've seen. I think the party (to welcome Caroline) might have been yesterday's episode, so if you haven't seen Ridge cry over Caroline (real sobbing crying) you might want to catch that episode on cbs.com.
I'd definitely like to see more Oliver but if they put Liam and Steffy back together again I may have to stop watching altogether.

Caroline seems to be stuck in a perpetual state of "squinty eyes". Kind of like Renee Zellweger, but no quite as squinty.

Oh jeez. Well, at least they had Hope fall into the pool on a Monday so we know by the next day she survives.

A quick resolution... how un-BnB-like!
I forgot to express my lols at the hunk-off by the pool! And Caroline seems like she's the new "sweet" girl, now Hope has gone off the rails.
Where did Steffy's long hair come from?! Not sure I like it how it was styled today. She's one of the prettiest women on the show and they always seem to mess up her hair.
If they start Liam and Steffy up again I might have to pull my own hair out.

Do you think they could send Noah from Y&R to B&B? Bring in a little new blood. lol

Oh for new blood...!
I'm am getting so upset at this storyline. Forrester doesn't even care enough to have Hope escorted into the building, Liam's response to Hope being hassled by papparazi is "not having a good day?" and meanwhile his father is delighted she's having a breakdown! Seems like no one really cares an ounce about her. And high and might Miss Steffy with her "you're dating a married man and that has consequences?????" What a complete cow, she should ask Katie how she feels about that!
It's making me so mad I may not watch. (Yes, I do know it's only tv, honest!)

That had to be the funniest scene shooting day ever! (Or most aggravating!). You could tell the actress that plays Steffie doesn't know how to snow-board, and the actress that plays Hope doesn't know how to ski....LOL! The whole time Hope was skiing, she had her toes pointed together like a beginner, and Steffie kept falling down. Did you notice how the scene cut right before Steffie was headed right at a tree?...LOL

I did notice they were a little unsteady, and there's me thinking all actresses spent their holidays skiing!
I am so fed up with the storylines at the moment. I'd almost, almost have the brooke-ridge-taylor love triangle again than this constant abuse of Hope.
Did see a spoiler though, about a new character:
Spoiler
Click below to view spoiler | Hope's biological dad, Deacon, is coming back. He was a bad guy who seduced Bridget into marrying him, became a nice guy because of Bridget's love (awww) but then had an affair with Brooke, and that resulted in Hope. And he was an alcoholic at some point, can't remember if that's why he had the affair or what.
And I think he's also the biological dad of "Little Eric"/"Little D" who Amber is/was bringing up (the boy was actually her cousin's). He was on another CBS soap and I think someone here said he was involved in a murder plot????
I always thought he was a sweetie deep down. |

That's so weird. Somehow part of my sentence above got repeated again after the period. Weird.

Oh dear, poor Hope! Just when she finally pulls herself together.
What annoyed me most about this storyline is that Steffy was completely in the wrong at the beginning, manipulating everything from missed meetings with Hope right through to the marriage when Liam was on his way to reconcile with Hope.
Then gradually over the last few months they've been rewriting the past, talking about all the time they spent together before they were married (it was two days) and those "months" in the house together (wasn't it two weeks max before they "honeymooned" in Cabo and it all fell apart??).
And now suddenly Steffi is all sweet and appealing and everyone, even me, is on her side, but they want us to forget that she was in the wrong through all this. Suddenly even Liam is saying that Hope is weak, when before he was such a pathetic fool who couldn't see how Steffi was manipulating him she was a strong, confident woman.
Steffi was evil, Liam was a fool, and Hope was too young and naive to step out of the situation.
It's like the whole message of this last six months is that if you're a b____ and manipulate people you win in the end, and if you try to do the right thing you're pathetic and fall apart. It's such a bad message.
Maybe I'm taking it too personally but had to get that out of my system.

The only good side of the story for me is maybe now my wish for her to be back with Oliver will happen.

Yes, Oliver needs to swoop in! He's sweet but not foolish. Well, unless you count thinking a 50 year old was a 17 year old  .

Today Hope said "once the divorce is final in a couple of weeks." When did they get divorced, February?! That's a quick six months!
I like Caroline. She looks like Hope but with a bit more spunk, it would be funny if Liam fell for her too.

There does seem to be a bit time bending going on!
I was thinking of something funny today when Caroline was having dinner with Liam, Katie and Bill. Maybe Liam could fall for Caroline and leave both Hope and Steffy in the dust....LOL It could be like on The Bachelor that one season when he picked no one

Caroline and Liam are cousins otherwise I bet the writer's would jump on that.

That's what I said too, Naja, but I'll let you off, seeing as it's you ;).
Good point Piper, hadn't thought about that!
