@@sharonstewart4882 I feel like 4 Emmys don't do her justice, based on the amount of time she spent setting television screens in fire. As for the subtle dig 😃
Amber giving her wedding dress to Becky symbolically ties their fates and storylines together. In this way, Becky really is redeeming Amber by dying so that Amber can regain custody of Little Eric and reunite with Rick (when presumably she will reclaim the dress as well). Amber has already played the role of Becky (pretending to be Becky with the doctor) and now by wearing her dress, Becky is playing the role of Amber as well. Becky’s marriage to CJ can also be seen as an inversion of Amber’s marriage to Rick. Whereas Amber was keeping a big secret from Rick and tricking him into marriage, here _Becky_ is the only one in the dark while everyone else is in on the secret. The “purity” of Becky and CJ’s love is like a cleanser for Amber and Rick.
Yes! Also, Amber saying that when she put the dress on, she felt like royalty confirms what we've been saying about the Forresters as a royal family. There is also an interesting contrast between Stephanie giving Amber this dress, and Stephanie _not_ wanting baby Bridget to have that little silver toy which was also a family heirloom.
Becky still looks pretty good for a dying person. I look much worse than that any given morning after having got up in the middle of the night to watch S13.
It's called a re-write, Morgan's backstory is so weak because it's rooted in retcon. Steph getting Morgan to sign away the rights to her grandchild would be more plausible 9:58 I'm so here for Stephanie's conviction through all this 👏
Clarke not wanting CJ to get married feels like such a contrived way to create drama where there is none. I mean, is anyone seriously believing that this wedding _won't_ happen because _Clarke_ will object? We already know that every time someone says "we should stop this and just tell Becky the truth", they end up being convinced that keeping the secret and giving Becky "just a few more weeks of happiness" is the right thing to do.
@jemekiahall5848 And their son, Haven, was used on the show as a baby to play Thorne and Darla’s daughter Alexandria - the writers included a scene where CJ met the baby and held “her”, allowing all three to appear onscreen together.
“What Stephanie did to Morgan” ? Morgan decided to ask Steph for her opinion and decided all on her own to go through with it. Steph didn’t hold her down against her will…
Taft’s Trivia: the end credits, which play right after Clarke and Sally discuss CJ marrying Becky, who has cancer, shows Angels Flight, which is a funicular railway connecting Hill St to California Plaza in downtown LA - Steph would later ride this funicular with Brooke when she learned that she had cancer. Also, the tower looming over it on the left is One California Plaza, which is the building John McCook is standing in front of in the first shot of Eric in the opening credits. The plaza also houses the LA Museum of Contemporary Art, which was the original background for the second “The Bold” title card used between 1987-1989 (it was then changed to the sunglasses-wearing model to match the other fashion-related shots for the rest of the title).
So when Stephanie’s niece was 17 and had sex with a 22 year old she was a victim needing protection. But Morgan the 17 year old knew exactly what she was doing. 😅
"Dont let this come between us, not us" Stephanie is upset about Taylor's reaction. And me too, since in the other episodes she was the only one to defend Stephanie about the ab decision. Or maybe Taylor's frustrated because she has to deal with Ridge's guilt. The donor profile was a big proof of Morgan's obsession and she barely got it.
Actually I like this about Taylor - she is trying to see this from both sides, both calling Stephanie out for trying to pressure a young girl, and Morgan for not accepting her part in actually going through with it.
I liked Taylor. True to her character. She feels bad for Morgan and has no idea what she is against. I loved Stephanie's reaction too. Just how I'd expect her to react if Ridge or her own daughter walked out on her angrily. If Brooke had done this, she'd tear her apart 😂
I love Taylor! ❤, but she’s too trusting and naive at times. Stephanie should stay out of it. I know she might mean well, but let Taylor fight her battles alone! Although she’ll wake up much too late😢
This SL really has Taylor in the middle of everything/ everyone. It has Taylor at the same time defending and judging/attacking Morgan + Stephanie both, just alternately. First we had the episode with Taylor reminding Ridge that Morgan is a stranger they barely know and that they have to hear Stephanie's side of that story and that Stephanie could not have dragged Morgan to that abortion against her will. Now we have Taylor confronting Stephanie how her mother-in-law could have had secretly pressured a confused 17 year old girl (pregnant with Ridge's child) into an abortion when Stephanie supposedly values family and honesty so much and Taylor questioning if Stephanie then had been thinking rationally.
Taylor's attitude toward Stephanie is because she is a loved one. Taylor can publicly defend Stephanie, but then privately disagree with Stephanie. It's about supporting your family.
@@annieo6527 I too like someone seeing both perspectives. I just didn't expect Taylor's confrontational tone with Stephanie. If you blast someone angrily, they generally close up and don't really get in the mood to talk and to explain much. I would have liked Stephanie for once telling a third person her POV calmly, but instead we had Stephanie reacting similar in tone and at one point telling Taylor "Get a grip on reality!"
Might be better you clear out the -beach- house first, before you take in a tenant/ become someone's landlord, and especially if the tenant is the husband's ex-girlfriend. We already had Morgan finding old clothes and sniffing on her ex-boyfriend's shirt. Now we have Morgan staring at a family pic that she has found in a drawer.

LOL so true! 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂 What secret? Oh 🥱😴 9:45
😂😂😂
😁Stephanie having to put out fires at every turn. The writers seem to be making up for the days she was absent. They know she’s soap gold.
😂😂😂What's funny about these two storylines is that they both depend on characters being utterly clueless (Becky, Taylor).
Susan Flannery once again proves why she has a Golden Globe and four Emmys (all of which she got _before_ the Daytime Emmys became irrelevant). 😋
This feels like a troll-y subtweet and I'm here for it.

All I could think of was... Steph gave Amber her wedding dress? Brooke could NEVER 😂
@@TriniT21 😂 _Two_ girls from Furance Creek have now gotten further with Stephanie than one little girl from the Valley.

@@annieo6527 Oh you're right! It's indicative of who Stephanie deems part of the family. Also of course the necklace she gave Taylor.
Another master class performance from the brilliant Susan Flannery! 🏆
Becky shouldn't worry about looking "wasted" (2:14). Brooke looks like that all the time!
😂
Becky wants to be Becky with the good hair

I'm so here for Stephanie's conviction through all this 👏
Yes! Even that would be better. And the child that was given away should be the one to come back, working at Forrester and looking for retribution.
Susan Flannery 👏that’s acting
Steph gave Amber her wedding dress. This is stuff that Brooke would k i ll for. Clarke is back to being his true self

Fun fact
The actors who play CJ and Darla are married over 20 years
Yes and they have a son together and Schae suffers from some disease that I can't remember the name of that keeps her from working now!
What?! Aw!

@@DonaldTaft Wow I don't remember that scene!
It was during a wedding - I think Thorne and Darla’s but can’t remember that 100% 😄
Love these scenes where Stephanie and Taylor fight over the moral highground.
“Step. trying 2 tell Taylor that 💩 “stink”!!! 🥴🥴
While I don’t condone what Stephanie did to Morgan when she was young, Morgan is more dangerous now
“What Stephanie did to Morgan” ? Morgan decided to ask Steph for her opinion and decided all on her own to go through with it. Steph didn’t hold her down against her will…
Oh My, “Get a Grip Taylor”!! 😂
“Stupid”,that’s her (TAY) at times.shell’ll learn “later”😅😅 !!!

Now you have me going back to watch..
Thank you for Taft's Trivia! Keep em coming! ❤
So when Stephanie’s niece was 17 and had sex with a 22 year old she was a victim needing protection. But Morgan the 17 year old knew exactly what she was doing. 😅
Morgan's hobby is running out of doctor's offices, then waiting for Ridge and Taylor to check on her.
where is episode 2120??????
"Dont let this come between us, not us" Stephanie is upset about Taylor's reaction.

No brooke and Thorne and Mayce storyline ….BOOREDOM!!!!!!!!!
It’s boring without them.
True, Brooke and Thorne are beyond boring to watch!
I'd love a Thorne-Macy, no Brooke scene.
I love Taylor! ❤, but she’s too trusting and naive at times. Stephanie should stay out of it. I know she might mean well, but let Taylor fight her battles alone! Although she’ll wake up much too late😢
