😄 If Stephanie's greetings are used to indicate friend or foe, this one is somewhere in between (the words are literally welcoming but tonally mocking) which is perfect for Brooke's position with Stephanie at the moment.
@@NewYorkNick0607yes, the tone of voice when Stephanie delivered that line spoke volumes. It acknowledged how Stephanie expected Brooke to come in and make herself at home in Stephanie's house, whether or not Stephanie invited her to do so, because that's what Brooke has _always_ done.
@@annieo6527 And Susan is such a good actress, she delivers it a little playfully. The tone isn't outright hostile the way it is with Sheila or Sally (or Brooke in the past).
@@NewYorkNick0607 Brooke is married to his son, and she has just found a way to enjoy herself when she is with Brooke. The way she shrugs her shoulders and move her head when Brooke explains her entrance is so funny. She knows she can't avoid to speak with her 😂
*"You mean it isn’t Brooke Logan anymore?"* (9:01) *_"All_** 51%?"* (9:36) *"Well the company is still solvent."* (10:09) I love how Stephanie keeps swatting away Brooke's attempts to get Stephanie to be nice to her in the first half of this episode. 😂 She switches in the second half when she realizes what's at stake but it just goes to show how reflexive and natural battling and belittling Brooke is for her.
I was wondering who wrote this ep.😁love Stephanie today. Really Jessica distracts Stephanie from being herself. She completely forgot about Brooke, not today, she is in a great mood😂
I've said it before, but watching this as a child I never realized how _funny_ Stephanie is. She has this understated dry wit that contrasts greatly with Sally's flamboyance, but is no less entertaining.
@@annieo6527 YES. Humor is a big and underrated part of her performance. Often in scenes Stephanie has a look on her face as if she gets a joke that nobody else does.
I never understood why Brooke offered to give up ALL 51% of her stock. Why not just offer to give up controlling interests (the crucial 2%)? Surely she'd want to keep the rest FOR HER CHILDREN?? 🤨
Her children would be taken care of by virtue of being Forresters,whether or not the shares are owned by Brooke. I think I know why she would give back all 51%. It's bc she never really cared to run Forrester in the first place. Giving up all controlling interest is all about trying to "win" over Steph.
@@TriniT21 Still that's a LOT of money and power. Nobody would just give all that up. Brooke isn't even asking the Forresters to buy back her stock! That's absurd. She could retain 49% or even less than that and she wouldn't have to run the company. Eric would be CEO and Brooke could just collect profits. And I don't think it's enough to say her children are taken care of by being Forresters because Eric has other kids. Brooke could ensure that her kids got a bigger slice of the pie.
@@ajax34 I hear you. And you're right. It is alot of money to give up. But that's why I never saw Brooke, for all her other faults, as a gold digger. She even told Connor as much, that Eric made sure her children were well taken care of. She doesn't need or want more money. Her focus is on 1. GETTING RIDGE ✔️ 2. Getting acceptance from Steph (work in progress lol) As I said, she's never wanted the company in the first place. At this point it is a means to an end. (But your point is interesting in that I believe later on it will be an issue as you are saying, when Ridge and Taylor's children are in existence).
Brookes' catty remarks to Steph before she leaves also show that she's not completely sincere either. She's offering an Olive branch when she'd actually like to whack Steph over the head with it. 😊

Brooke telling Steph that love is about sacrifice 😂😂😂 I spit my tea out at that one 😂 Brooke is the last person to sacrifice for anybody... Not even her own mother
Brooke and Eric have never sacrifice anything and for anyone in their life. They are both completely selfish, self centered, self obessed and narcisstic characters.
@@teligon Like Jesus, Brooke's miracles include calming a stormy sea (on the boat with Mustafa) and making a blind man see (both Eric and Ridge were temporarily blind while married to Brooke).
Ridge has been married to Brooke for some time now, but, of course(!) he has been too afraid to ask her directly about her relinquishing control and does not say no to his mum fighting this battle for him !! Come on!
Uh, maybe Anthony should have understood the risks of a crazy public marriage proposal in the first place. There was no reason to believe she would say yes, even if Thorne hadn't been involved. This Anthony character is so obnoxious.
@@NewYorkNick0607 this comment also serves as a reminder of Ivana's very first scene, that involved her modeling for Ridge and complaining about an "abrasive seam" that hurt her chest. Which, in turn, is _extremely ironic_ in retrospect...
Somehow I can understand why Anthony could be upset he had a brief relationship with macy but ivana just few kisses and she was excepting a proposal from Thorne common...
I think this episode shows the difference between Ivana's and Anthony's feelings about what happened. They both feel humiliated, but Ivana imagines _getting back at_ Thorne, while Anthony's rage goes much deeper and he has his mind set on _destroying_ Thorne.
This proves definitively that the takeover was all about RIDGE. Now that Brooke has him, she's ready to give back the company. It was obvious even back then but the stans didn't want to accept it. 🤭
It was about Ridge and also about Stephanie. Back then Brooke felt rejected by Ridge and wanted revenge on Stephanie. And now she has Ridge and sees an opportunity to gain Stephanie's approval (the two things she's always wanted most). Brooke's dream was never to be CEO of Forrester, it was to be Mrs. Ridge Forrester.
How could anyone deny the takeover had a lot to do with Ridge? Brooke was willing to give the company back a few months later when she thought Ridge was leaving Taylor! 😆
@@parker341 Girl they got so mad when anyone said the takeover was about Ridge. 😂 I'm sure even now they'll write some long obtuse wikipedia posts to prove it's not true. 🤣
You're so wrong and so far off the track! The takeover was in reaction to the Forrester family scheming in Brooke's back like with that lawyer pretending to be a masseur, je-sus! Brooke was about to sign the control of the company away when that lawyer entered Eric's office and then Brooke realized how much she had been manipulated, and out of anger and rightful frustration, she decided to go ahead with the takeover. FACT!
Just to add more drama, The writers should have been a little smarter with Anthony and make him actually acquire control of Forrester for a little while with Connor overseeing the deal. It could have been a good story where these characters stayed for a longer period.
While I agree that it would have made things more interesting at FC and would have given Anthony and Connor another SL, it wouldn't make much sense in the end. Even if Connor joins Anthony and Ivana and Therese three would try to buy the shares to get control, why would they have enough money for that? Anthony might be a successful designer, but if he had so much money, he could have tried to buy in at Spectra and become an executive instead of just being the head designer. Is model Ivana supposed to be able to pay so much money? Lawyer Connor? The Forresters had to agree to that deal with the 51% because they hadn't been able to pay Brooke the profits her formula had earned over the years. These shares are supposed to be worth much money.
Today's episode's theme - *Everyone* is an opportunist. First Stephanie calls out Brooke for being one, but at the end of the episode Stephanie makes it clear to her son that they can't let that opportunity slip and that she has no patience. We have Ivana kinda calling Ridge one because he has married his boss - just for Ivana to later call Anthony and to inform him of the upcoming opportunity to buy Brooke's shares and get control of the company.
Brooke plays that game many times with Stephanie/the Forresters and will hold the stock over them, but will never follow through, because she likes to have the control over them and like her childrens its only a meaning to an end.
Thanks for the upload !! As Ivana lives and Breaths .Well not that much longer. .😂😂 Ridge can Sleep with one of the models Have lunch with Ivana. But Jessica Cant see Dylan !! ??
This scene with Ridge and Ivana eating sushi is so random. It seems like it was accidentally left in there as the only remaining scene of an alternate storyline idea that never happened. And the idea that Ivana could somehow get her hands on Brooke's shares is extremely far-fetched - how exactly would that happen? It’s like Ivana's just toying with the idea but has no real plan (which will also be true later on when she does act out her revenge).
I found the lunch between them forced as the conversation, like all the scenes in which Ivana is involved. That character can't find a place in B&B. The writers knew so...☠️
The lunch wasn't as random, as the phone call to Anthony. One would think that her telling Anthony Brooke was about to shed her 51% was going to go somewhere . But.. Nope.. At any rate, I couldn't see Anthony taking over Forrester. That would be TOO random
@@TriniT21 it does seem strange. The only thing I can imagine that would justify that scene is (and I'm grasping at straws here) to _show_ that Ivana is "random" in her desire for revenge. She doesn't have a long-term plan, she just wants to get back at Thorne somehow to get it out of her system, and possibly gain an advantage in the process. Anthony is more inscrutable in his reactions at this time. He is clearly furious, and yet he just listens to Ivana's idea but doesn't actually reveal his thoughts on it - as if he's still considering his options. And, really, Ivana's suggestion is clearly more appealing to her than to Anthony, since Ivana actually works at Forrester with Thorne, while Anthony has his sights set on Spectra and Macy.
This entire episode most definitely set up (what eventually became) a dropped storyline. It would be interesting to see where the storyline would have gone had Anthony gone after shares in Forrester to get back at Thorne. He and Ivana would have potentially been more effectively integrated into the show. They also would have had more longevity.The murder storyline pretty much ensured that their days were numbered.
"ALL of 51%" No Stephanie, she is keeping 10% is that ok with you or will you reject the offer? Brooke, how masochistic can you be? Every other word that comes from her mouth is an insult and you are still willing to give to her. Although Brooke's offer shows Stephanie to be the opportunist to say the least, be willing to fake a friendship and acceptance of Brooke for stock.
Brooke is having some fun with Steph. She knows Steph will take this bait…but not without acting unimpressed at Brooke’s offer. It’s a chess game Brooke likes to play with Steph when she feels she has the upper hand.😆 Soon Brooke will back away from the offer when Taylor make her “disguised” appearance.🤨 Think Steph might be realizing having Brooke as a daughter-in-law could be a good thing?😀
@@bettyhopson Yes. she will back away, but what if Taylor hadn't shown up? Would Brooke have given all her stock just to see if Stephanie would appreciate it, for a game to see who "wins"? To see if Stephanie is capable of being grateful? She should already have known that she is not, I love Brooke, but this offer takes away from her children and even her husband. She could have still returned some of the stock to the family and even staying home if she wanted and put Eric or Ridge in charge. It doesn't have to be all or nothing.
@@marn25 You make a good point. But the way the scene was played it seemed humorous to me. Steph was trying to remain unimpressed and Brooke was being very coy. Like dangling a carrot in front of Steph.😄 True though, Brooke should never let her guard down with Steph…she knows about her mean streak!🤨 Time for Connor to step in…but Brooke has this habit of not listening to him.😏
Brooke acting entitled as always. Well, I'm going to let myself in then... Class and manners have never been her strongest traits...and begging for Stephanie's acceptance as always
Brooke is family and why would she need to knock nobody else does and she does deserve respect from Stephanie at this point in time she’s married to Ridge and they are raising the kids and they’re happy,Family is important and Brooke is family.
Another boring episode with heartsick Tony and bland Ivana. At least we don't haveta hear all of those completely and totally silly Taylor lies! Her hot hot hot and sizzling full-time-love-making honeymoon with Prince Omar? Gee-zuss! The looks on James' face were just priceless! 😛😛😛🤪🤪🤪
dispicable Brooke is playing the same old game i hate the way she manipulates her way into the family love cannot be bought she is a hateful character and what she did is unforgivable she will never give the company back she is too greedy
After such a welcome, I would never offer my 51%. Brooke is so naive sometimes! Stephanie doesn't deserve to have the stock back so soon after all she have done.
Brooke obviously thinks she deserves it because Stephanie insulted her six ways to Sunday and Brooke is still begging for her approval. 😂 That tells you everything about who respects who and who has the real power in their relationship.
the Queen👑 insulting the mattress 💅and the mattress takes it because she wants the approval of the woman whose husband & company she stole shows she cant read the room & is shameless with her shenanigans
I don't like Thorne 2 either. That singing, sugary actor made me nauseous. Clayton was the best Thorne of all. Plus, he almost succeeded in getting us rid of Ridge for good! 😄😄😄🤣🤣🤣
Brooke can't really be any more arrogant and entiteld just entering Stephanie's home like that. Eric and his hookers have to stop barge into Stephanies home uninvited, unwelcome, unasked and unwanted.
"Well, make yourself right at home" is such a subtle variation of Stephanie's theme! 😂

dispicable Brooke is playing the same old game i hate the way she manipulates her way into the family love cannot be bought she is a hateful character and what she did is unforgivable she will never give the company back she is too greedy
After such a welcome, I would never offer my 51%. Brooke is so naive sometimes! Stephanie doesn't deserve to have the stock back so soon after all she have done.
Brooke obviously thinks she deserves it because Stephanie insulted her six ways to Sunday and Brooke is still begging for her approval. 😂 That tells you everything about who respects who and who has the real power in their relationship.
@@jonfoerster BINGO 👍
@@jonfoerster 🎯
Brooke: "Yes of course I'm serious, love is about sacrifice! " The script is on fire today.😂
Agree
the Queen👑 insulting the mattress 💅and the mattress takes it because she wants the approval of the woman whose husband & company she stole shows she cant read the room & is shameless with her shenanigans
👏🙌😂
Funny, but so true...LOL
A Thorne bashing episode. Thank you writers!
Please roll on Thorne 3. Really don't like 2.
I don't like Thorne 2 either. That singing, sugary actor made me nauseous. Clayton was the best Thorne of all. Plus, he almost succeeded in getting us rid of Ridge for good! 😄😄😄🤣🤣🤣
I actually loved 1
Hunter Tylo reminds me of Beauty Pageant contestants
So did Kristen.
Evana is a TERRIBLE actress … holy lolololol
This would have really been the day for Stephanie to call Brooke a "die in the wool commonor". A pity Taylor beat her to it yesterday😂.
Brooke can't really be any more arrogant and entiteld just entering Stephanie's home like that.
Eric and his hookers have to stop barge into Stephanies home uninvited, unwelcome, unasked and unwanted.
There's no one more arrogant than Stephanie on this show
Anthony has no upper lip whatsoever. Odd
Eric has eaten less of an upper lip it almost looks like a duck bill
Brooke = fun in the sun! Happiness and play! Taylor = dark doom and gloom dull-serious!
Trap in that palace with Omar …. Nightmares life living hell !
Brooke is such a good person.
