@@ministryofwrongthink9847 I don't know what drove Brooke more crazy.. The fact that Ridge wasn't the father, or the fact that Eric was (remember when she was pregnant with bridgit and was so sure it was Ridge's and Eric reminded her of that one night they had....Brooke literally left town that same night bc she couldnt deal with the possibility of it being Eric's baby)
@@TriniT21 good point. I wonder too. Her main goal was to always have Ridge above all else. That's why in 92-93 Brooke was especially despicable and bad caring more about using the baby to get Ridge rather than caring about the baby herself. Brooke was a terrible mother.
Yes it looked gorgeous on her. I'm glad to see that bold colours in corporate wear are coming back. I've always hated suits bc they were so drab and boring looking
If Brooke thinks they've been keeping Rick's paternity a secret from the public then _that's the problem!_ How can she not see that? The message that sends to Rick is that his presence in the family is a dirty secret and that he should pretend Ridge is his father. And obviously Rick is old enough now to resent and react to that.
Thank you! 👏 👏 💯 This is why I say Brooke has the most blame (even though yes Ridge and Eric are to blame too) because _she's_ the reason everyone is pushing these secrets and lies and _she's_ expecting everyone to do it to make her comfortable. It's all about her and not her son. From the beginning, Brooke should've shouldered the embarrassment and scandal that _she_ created to protect her son.
How in the world could Brooke think that Eric Jr's paternity is a secret? The child's name is ERIC JR for crying out loud. Plus she was married to Eric when Eric Jr was a baby. "As a family we've never had to confront this issue"... Is the line that makes me see just how oblivious Brooke is as to what's wrong here.
There was nothing figure out. His classmate can simply open up a newspaper or magazine and reading about the bed hopping of good old Brooke and Eric. There is no secret or mystery or riddle about it. Just because Eric, Brooke and rigde are spinning things, lying and make up terminology and making false family relations and fairtales up, it doesn't make the truth go away.
So let me get this right.. When Eric Jr was about 3 or 4 years old and couldn't really express himself in words he threw a dinosaur at James. And Ridge, upon hearing this, was immediately able to conclude that Eric Jr was unhappy with James marrying his mother and becoming his father. And Brooke actually was worried about the dinosaur incident and gave Ridge's immediately conclusion serious thought. Now, Eric Jr can and has quite clearly expressed what is his issue here: His brother pretending to be his father and marrying his mother is sick and he does not want it... And Ridge is confused as to what's going on, doesn't know what to do, and needs Taylor to observe Eric Jr at the wedding to give an opinion. And Brooke spent yesterday worrying about Ridge's whereabouts and now is over at Sally's trying to blame CJ and basically get Sally to be her accomplice in making sure that she can present a united family front with her Ridge and Eric's 2 kids at the wedding. 😕
youuuu got it! :). Ridge is so dense - the boy flat out told you the issue; he's embarrassed and he thinks his family is sick, that's the issue! I don't get Taylor having to come and observe when she already knows the family dynamic - ridge with his half-brother's mom will of course make Eric Jr feel a certain way
@@deesee3622 and apparently that is CJ's fault 🙄 It's Eric Sr telling his son to pretty much get over his mother being in Iove with his brother for me.. I mean.. What is that mess?? Is anyone even listening to this child?
@@TriniT21 Eric needs to explain to his young son that Ridge and Brooke were engaged and together before he was ever born. 😮 Because Ridge is his half brother doesn’t mean that Eric isn’t still his father? And that he and Brooke are divorced therefore he has two blended families. 😌
@@bettyhopson But that isn't the issue. Eric Jr is repulsed by the idea of his mother marrying his brother _as any child would be._ This isn't a normal blended family situation. The fact that she was with Ridge before doesn't make it OK. She _married_ Eric first and _had his child_ first.

But it doesn't change the issue of what's going on in Eric Jr's family here.
Brooke was shady to CJ LOL - but CJ should know the way he was brought into the world wasn't really with love at least with Eric JR love was involved even though I feel it was disgusting but at least he was wanted, CJ was not wanted because Sally paid his father to marry her and she just got pregnant on a fluke and Sally knows this but would never admit how she got Clarke; actually its quite similar to Brooke's situation in a way because Brooke also hides truths here and there to avoid any real confrontation on the facts
Well CJ's father isn't exactly "father of the year" either. Clarke actually wanted CJ's name to be changed because he didn't want anything to do with the kid.
@@timbrown5576 Lots of kids don’t have a present father in their lives. It’s common and sad but not scan dalous. It doesn’t get much ickier than Eric jr’s situation.
I always thought it should have been Eric & Brooke- Ridge & Taylor But because Eric & Brooke deserve each other & Tridge could have been happy with they're little family❤
I thought the subtle clues were interesting with Brooke talking to Sally, Sally saying things like hey Stephanie is coming for you now saying you’re a bad wife and mother, etc… then the show cuts to Stephanie telling Taylor I mean she’s a BAD mother! LOL
Thank you, Sally for pointing out the obvious. Brooke is there to save face for herself, not for her son. The "solution" by Brooke to keep their children apart is no solution to the actual problem. Are she and Sally going to sit in school with them and keep them apart there, too? Brooke isn't even addressing the real issue. Steph is absolutely right... There are 2 children (well, one right now) running around not understanding the exact kinship in their family. Imagine one child of Brooke's currently being the niece of the other, and the other child has no idea if his brother is his uncle ... And Brooke thinks that is normal and that the solution is to get CJ to stay away from him.
Yes! Both Sally and Stephanie were speaking some much needed truths today. Eric referring to Thorne as "uncle Thorne" just proved it. The children are not even taught to refer to members of their family the correct way. Come to think of it, Thorne and Rick have the _exact same_ family relationship that Macy and CJ do. And yet Rick never once related to Thorne as a brother, more like a distant uncle or a "family member" in general. Meanwhile, Macy and CJ obviously see each other as siblings, plain and simple (we never get the feeling that they think of each other as "half siblings").
@@annieo6527 when Brooke started emphasising that Macy wouldn't want a scene from her brother at her wedding, I actually chuckled. At least CJ understands he is going to his sister's wedding, while Eric Jr doesn't know if he is going to his brother or his uncle's wedding 🤕🤕
Poor Eric Jr thinks that Ridge has been using him to marry his mother.. Boy, you got that backwards.. That bookshelf almost falling on your head all those years ago is prob still affecting you. It's your good ole mom who has been dragging you behind her in her quest for Ridge since you were a baby. And then you all but disappereard when bridgit came along as the new Ridge trap. I will always remember Brooke having the dinner with her and bridgit dressed up in the same curtain material for "daddy".. There was no Eric Jr around then or for months after that.
He doesn't know that Ridge dumped Brooke for Eric and jr sake, and he will do even better during the Grant trial. We can say anything about Ridge not that he doesn't love Eric's children.
@@babs4848 he does love Eric's children and would do almost anything for them (more than Eric it seems), but he hasn't been using either of them to marry Brooke. It's always been the other way round
We rarely get scenes with Brooke and Sally. I guess they decided to give La Flannery a break and let _another_ great actress blow KKL out of the water.
@@memento-_mori excatly. She got that acting gig anyway only because she is the daughter of. And we know who she is entertaining since decades to stay on the show.
YES Ministry! You're singing from my hymn book! Stephanie has always been the strongest plot driver on the show and the dynamic between her and Taylor has always been one where Taylor demurs and Stephanie compels her to act. This is made explicit in *episode 1125* at the 16 minute 40 second mark when Stephanie says to Taylor: "I believe you make things happen." 🙂
@@NewYorkNick0607 "Stop being so d@mn honourable"... Steph says what I've been screaming at Taylor all the time lol. And then in walks Ridge, saying just what Steph just said ... Couldn't have gone better if steph had planned it herself 😁
I agree, Nick. It may seem like Brooke vs Taylor but at its core it is Brooke vs Stephanie. Always. Taylor doesn’t have it in her to be a formidable foe to Brooke. But, Queen Stephanie does. In spades. 🤗
The only reason they have to hide Rick's paternity from the public and refer to Thorne as his "uncle" is because his mother married his brother. _Brooke and Ridge_ are the problem, not Sally and CJ.
Why do they need to hide Eric's paternity. Everybody knew who ERIC JR 's father was from the start when she was married to Eric. The child whose paternity is supposed to be a secret, is bridgit and Brooke is walking round telling everyone Ridge is her father. Brooke is just looking for a scapegoat as usual
@@blackblake3658 I said Brooke _and Ridge_ are the problem. Can yo u read?? I'm not trying to excuse Ridge the way yo u 're always trying to excuse Brooke. 🙄
Stephanie is dead right. These kids are confused and have no idea who who is and are given since years the wrong terminology for the people around them. They were forced and pushed by their mother into a creepy, weird, confusing and hurtful situation.
@@blackblake3658it all started with Brooke’s mother Beth and no one held a gun to Brooke’s head when she married Eric. She could have said no. Why people keep defending that selfish woman, is beyond me! But I’ll stick to my opinion!🤦♀️
Wrong junior, your mommy dearest is the one who chased and stalked your brother since years and she uses you and your sister/niece to get Rigde and hold onto him.
It's interesting to see this interaction between Brooke and Sally because it establishes that Brooke, like all the other members of the Forrester family, looks down on Sally. She doesn't accept any of Sally's offers (no, she doesn't want coffee - no, she doesn't want to sit down) and questions Sally in a way that implies that Sally is partly to blame for CJ's behavior. Meanwhile, Sally is apologizing to Brooke and doing everything that a great mom should - trying to communicate with CJ, supporting him while not supporting his behavior.
Great observation about the class dynamics! And this is something they've been consistent about. As I wrote in *episode 1588,* Brooke and Sally might have a common enemy in Stephanie but they don't have common goals. Brooke wants to be accepted into the Forrester clan and looking down on Sally is a way to separate herself from that low-class background she's trying to escape.
@@NewYorkNick0607 Exactly! And Sally was 🎯when she said that Brooke was concerned about Rick's behavior reflecting badly on her - which is something Sally herself is _not_ concerned about because she knows how the Forresters see her and accepts that. Sally's main concern is communicating with her son, not keeping up appearances at a family party.
Great points Annie and Nick! And the actresses' look and the way the character is styled plays into this too. Brooke look s like a lower class person trying to be bougie. She doesn't come across as naturally classy and elegant as Stephanie or Taylor. That works for your interpretation of her trying to transcend her class background.
@@blackblake3658not nearly as bad or disgraceful as marrying your kids brother and making them call him dad. Atleast Sally’s kids aren’t half siblings and uncle and niece and she ever had to question their paternity
They're like the handsomest prince and princess, fighting manipulations and obstacles to be together ❤ Hard to fathom how anyone can see the same prince and his fathers-exwife in the same way.
So Brooke orders Sally to keep CJ under control so that she (Brooke) doesn't look like a bad mother. Ridge asks Taylor to come to the wedding to help find a way to redeem his image as a great father. The common pattern here is that Ridge and Brooke both like to order around and exploit people in ways that help maintain a specific image of their identities. They're both image conscious and self absorbed. It's a match made in heaven.
Why is Brooke making it seem like everyone knowing she’s married to her sons brother such a big mystery? It’s public knowledge that ridge is Eric Forresters son just like its public knowledge that Brooke is married to Ridge and her son’s name Eric JUNIOR! Where’s the confusion here
The writers are as delusional as Brooke I swear - this isn't rocket science; also the parents know a lot too and kids can hear them talking about them as well; plus Beverly Hills is practically Mayberry
The answer is the writers are trying to create Drama…by growing Eric jr up to now be unhappy with the family arrangement? So here we are in the midst of confusion of who said what when….and why? Maybe so the viewer will think…okay Bridge isn’t going to work…it’s back to Taylor for Ridge. 😮🤷♀️
“Uncle Thorne wants you there” and then y’all surprised the boy is confused. Not only y’all got him thinking his brother is his daddy but his other brother is his uncle? Why couldn’t you just say “your brother Thorne wants you there” since that’s what he is to him? Has anyone actually had their parents refer to their older siblings as “Aunty/Uncle” to them growing up if there is a big age gap?
Let’s face it. CJ has done Lil Eric a favor. His taunts have motivated the boy to finally reveal his pent up anger and resentment. Brooke’s happy family facade is crumbling in Taylor’s favor. 😆🥳
Exactly. The problem was never CJ. Eric Jr stated very clearly to his father what the issue is (Altho he has it backwards of who is using him)... And that would have been the problem he had been having as he grew older and started to really understand his family dynamic better (that he obviously couldn't appreciate at 4 years old). CJ was just the catalyst to get the story out of him. Bc clearly Eric Jr doing poorly in school and walking around looking unhappy and not really talking to Ridge didn't clue Brooke in that there was something seriously wrong with him. (and as an aside.. In the upcoming who s h o T Grant story, we will see more of Brooke's oblivious parenting as she keeps her focus on Ridge and not her children's state of mind)
Sally vs Brooke.. Five stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 CJ vs Brooke.. Six stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Steph recapping the madness that Brooke tried to portray as normal.. Ten stars... 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Ridge going to personally ask Taylor to come to the wedding bc she's part of the family, and for help with CJ (which both shall annoy Brooke to no end)... About 4.5 stars, bc he's still clueless lol ...🌟🌟🌟🌟✨ Maggie and Dylan ...zero stars... They could stay in the woods forever for all I care.
why does Eric refers to Thorne' as Rick's uncle? The child is not stupid..a 10 year old knows that 2 people with the same father are brothers. But yet again , a brother is also married to his mother, and their daughter is also his sister Hahahahahhahahahah yeah this is confusing for a 10 year old
*Brooke:* How did CJ find out about Ridge and his relationship with Eric Jr., that he is not his natural father? *Sally:* BECAUSE YOU ARE THE VILLAGE BIKE!!!! YOU'VE MADE NO SECRET ABOUT THAT!! I thought *THAT* was obvious. Head in the sand much, Brooke?
😂 I mean... Was Eric and Brooke's entire marriage a secret? Nooope And now she is with Eric's son.. A fact everybody already knows. The press isn't downplaying it.. They are bored by it.
I had to cringe when Eric was telling his son, that whether Thorne is his uncle or his brother pretty much doesn't matter 😕 Yes! It does matter! Who in the world thinks this is a normal way for a kid to live, calling one brother his uncle. And seeing his other brother sleeping with his mother... 🤕🤕🤕 And I blame Brooke the most for this mess (and Eric gets a percentage too for supporting this mess) bc she is Eric Jr's primary caregiver (by her own choice) and she basically has been doing this madness, thinking the kids will understand. And now Eric jr is showing that he clearly DOES NOT understand, and she's still going along like he's just supposed to get with the program, while she stays s E x ING his big brother... Make it make sense. This is why, anybody watching season 13 now, can see just how messed up Rick has become coming into adulthood. And can clearly understand why.
@@deesee3622 Eric🤮 He and Brooke brought all the trouble... The first to start with the sickness in this family, is Thorne who got attached to Carolyn who desperately loved Ridge...
@@babs4848 And it's all cos of Brooke, not Eric and Ridge. Eric was an absentee father but Brooke destroyed them. She's d one responsible for Rick 🔫 Grant too !
A wound that should have been treated by Brooke. She painted a fake "perfect" family and talked about it so much that she forgot that EricJr always knew he was Eric's.
How can Brooke wonder how CJ found out that _Eric Forrester Jr_ is, in fact, Eric Forrester's son? And then saying that they haven't been "going overboard to publicize it", when in fact it is the other way around. They have told the press that _both Rick and Bridget_ are Eric's children. It's common knowledge. It's _Bridget's_ (supposed) paternity that has been kept a secret, not Rick's.
Same thing I said. Eric Jr, is Eric Sr's namesake and Brooke's marriage to Eric Sr was never a secret. Her moving on to "marry" Eric's son Ridge was also never a secret. As Sally pointed out, the WHOLE CLASS knows. A few epis ago, I wondered whether Bridgit's paternity as we know now, was still supposed to be a secret as they were trying to pass her off as Eric's, so as not to cause a scandal that Brooke has a child for Eric and another for his son. But since then, Brooke has been in the magazines (incl the one Taylor saw all the way in Morocco) stating that these are Ridge's kids. And Ridge hasn't been exactly secretive either about saying bridgit is his. 🤕 I think the writers are also getting confused by their own stories lol
@@TriniT21 Plus the parents of the kids definitely would know - Beverly Hills isn't that big I'm sure everyone knows the Forresters and their family story plus the kid is named after Eric!! smh
Stephanie is at Taylor's , she is tempting her, but Taylor won't listen to her advice. And many still think they work together to split up Bridge. There is really no need, Bridge is able to do it by themselves😂
@@TriniT21 I picture her as the priestess Cassandra foreseeing the tragedy and defeat of Troy due to Paride's love for Elena, after Paride's birth. Nobody believed her prophecy. And she died in the worst way, ra ped. Well, nobody cares about Stephanie who is the only one that doesn't underestimate Brooke' s actions and the tragic consequences she would bring each time into the Forrester family ( helped by the Forrester men). And she will die in the worst way, neglected by her beloved son, far away from her family and in her enemy's harms 😩.
@@annieo6527 sure you all did. I was thinking about Stephanie and her dea th that should have been more moving if half the viewers hadn't been distracted by her partner in her last scene!

They really made her di ed in her enemy's harms.
@@babs4848 I didn't mind her dying with Brooke, but it was written the wrong way. It should not have been an emotional or sentimental death - I would have liked a scene where Stephanie _uses her own death_ to have the final say and get Brooke to do what Stephanie wanted.
@@NewYorkNick0607😂😂😂 It is sooo obvious why Brooke was there..and it ain't for Eric Jr.. She really needs to keep up appearances in front of the family. And I love how CJ just isn't impressed by Brooke either 😂😂 As an aside... I have to wonder tho... Was Brooke trying to drive a point home by calling CJ, "CLARKE"?
@@TriniT21 I thought about that too! It was as if Brooke was trying to tell CJ "you know, I could just as easily tease you about _your_ father! Where is he, by the way?"
The writers seem to be playing a bit confusing with the dialogue here. Because it seemed that Eric jr knew that Eric was his father all along. Now we have CJ teasing an older Eric jr about who his father is? When Ridge began a relationship with Bridget, his daughter, Eric jr was included in the family unit. The children were treated equally by Brooke and Ridge as their parents. Seems now that Eric jr is older that is a problem for him because he wants to be with his real dad…🤷♀️ Eric jr now resents Ridge as a father figure and we have no background to when that happened…when CJ teased him or before? 😮
@@bettyhopsonSince the day Brooke found out Taylor was still alive Brooke has consistently been referring to Eric Jr as Ridge's child. She repeated it so many times that she herself forgot 😅
“Kids can be cruel”, says the woman who literally just this morning taunted a victim of robbery and near-assault and accused her of making the story up 🙄. Sally was a total class act in her conversation with Brooke, especially in her apology on CJ’s behalf. Yes, CJ was cruel but Eric Jr started the physical fight, but Brooke acted like he was a complete victim. I am quite amused that everyone from Ridge to Stephanie to Thorne still consider Taylor part of the family and assume she’ll be at the wedding.
Now that Ridge has made his decision, that boundaries arw settled, he is not scared to see Taylor whenever he wants. He really had to put some distance from her to make a decision, otherwise it would have been more difficult letting her go...
I said the same some time ago. Clearly shows how dependent Ridge is on Taylor ❤ She had to be killed off, actually or with rewritten history, in order for any one else to stand a chance.
@@TriniT21 Also, I am loving Sally mothering CJ. She calls him out for teasing Rick but does so in a supportive and sensible way. She clearly loves CJ and lets him know that she expects him to behave well.
@@annieo6527yes I really like her mothering with CJ. It also speaks to how Ridge, Brooke, Eric or any of them were wrong to think Sally might have put CJ up to this or told him anything about Ridge and Brooke. Also, I had to compare the mothering skills of Sally /CJ vs Brooke/ Eric Jr. Sally trying to solve the issue with CJ, while Brooke tries to solve the issue around Eric Jr. Sally has CJ _with_ her, even if she's at work, until he tells her what's wrong. She recognises that she has to spend the time with him to get to the bottom of the issue. On the other hand Eric Jr asked Brooke to pls go horseback riding with him.. He clearly wanted to spend the time with her but Brooke told him she was busy/go hang out with Ridge, and didn't recognise that what he wanted and needed was her time. Even if she carried him to work with her and spent the day there with him would have been better than just telling him no.
Oh Brooke, so happy to be in the Forrester family... 'It will be a FAMILY events, all the Forresters blah blah'. Girl, Sally is more of a Forrester than you and she's considered as an enemy. 🤣
Wait til she finds out her beloved Ridge personally asked Taylor to be there, esp up observe Eric Jr...😂 Brooke has a serious disconnect in her head, bc she is too busy trying to hold on to this fantasy life at all costs (even if it costs her son his well being)
@@blackblake3658 She can have children even with Stephanie and own majority of the Milky Way, it's not in the papers, it's not in the contracts, it's even not in the blood. 'Blood makes us related, loyalty makes us a family'. She's manipulative and dishonest since the beginning. You earn a place in someones family with love, the way through the family is not over dead bodies and that's Brooke's modus operandi.
Wow!! How quickly kids grow up in this soap opera.. few weeks ago Taylor was giving swimming lessons to the kids and now Eric junior is like 8 years old or something.. 😅😅😅😅😅
Ridge, why go to the woman who you're about to divorce and ask her to the come to the wedding and observe Eric jr. Hell, Eric jr. wouldn't be acting this way if you would have dumped his mother and chose Taylor
While CJ was wrong for teasing/bullying Eric Jr. and it shouldn't not be shrugged off, Brooke set Eric Jr. up for this. Children do tease and adults do too. Sally was right when she said Brooke was more concerned about the situation reflecting badly on her.
Dear Stephanie, who will be confused is Ridge, when he discovers that Eric is not his father and that you have been lying all these years!!!!! Eric Junior needs Taylor 😅 Oh Stephanie, you're manipulating again!
Now I've watched 2111 episodes, watching several episodes every day. Bold and the Beautiful - 1995 (S8 E360) FULL EPISODE 2111 These episodes are from 1995. Why do I have to wait for a new episode every day here on UA-cam? Since they are from 1995, I will never finish the entire series as long as I live with only one episode per day.
I'm so glad they have finally stopped Putting those ridiculous large shoulder pads in Stephanie's jackets. And Have started. fitting her clothes to her as though She really does have a waistline.
who the hell does Brooke think she is?? This is Sally’s daughter’s wedding! She has a lot more right to have her son there than Brooke… (unless of course Brooke has slept with CJ too or does that happen later 🤔)
Eric Jr. always at the center of strife for Ridge & Brooke. As a baby, he was throwing crying fits when Eric moved out of the condo, he was nearly killed when left unattended by Brooke & Ridge which caused Eric to lose his sight and move back in, and now he's out of sorts over Ridge and Brooke when just a few weeks ago, he was all lovey-dovey with Ridge. And we know how the future unfolds with his dynamic with his older half-brother. What a doozy!
Brooke is a _ridiculous_ character who is _obviously_ in the wrong this time and the show wants you to know that. The people defending her _even now_ are clowns.
Stephanie is always jealous of other people's happiness! Look how she destroyed the relationship between Eric and Beth by bringing back into the picture Beth's husband who was living unknown and incognito thousand of miles away from LA!
Don't understand how Eric Jr and CJ suddenly became like 10 years old when just months ago Eric Jr was about 5 yrs old taking swimming lessons from Taylor. Brooke knew Ridge for 8 years but her son now abt 10 yrs old.
I know a family who have an autistic son, but they try to control the whole world except him. Similarly, Brooke leads a complicated life, then gets upset that it's affecting her children? She wants CJ and Sally to control themselves. But she won't explain or give emotional support that her children need. Then, as the years go by....it gets words. Wonder if she took notes from Maggie.
Eric almost rolled with laughter, when Eric Jr. told him that Ridge was taking advantage of Brooke to marry her😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

An extremely rare scene with Brooke and Sally.
CJ became one of my favorite character as they rapidly aged him. Too bad they wrote him out of the show without explanation.

Such a beauty
Is that plum..? I wonder what colour that is
If Brooke thinks they've been keeping Rick's paternity a secret from the public then _that's the problem!_ How can she not see that? The message that sends to Rick is that his presence in the family is a dirty secret and that he should pretend Ridge is his father. And obviously Rick is old enough now to resent and react to that.
I think she should let the boy live with his father but this is the SFTV we're talking about no self awareness
And his prescences, existance and who is his father aren't a secret to anyone.
That writing is totally stupid and makes no senses what so ever.
Thank you! 👏 👏 💯 This is why I say Brooke has the most blame (even though yes Ridge and Eric are to blame too) because _she's_ the reason everyone is pushing these secrets and lies and _she's_ expecting everyone to do it to make her comfortable. It's all about her and not her son. From the beginning, Brooke should've shouldered the embarrassment and scandal that _she_ created to protect her son.
And Eric talks to him about uncle Thorne or brother Thorne as if the kid can choose their degree of kinship
How in the world could Brooke think that Eric Jr's paternity is a secret? The child's name is ERIC JR for crying out loud. Plus she was married to Eric when Eric Jr was a baby.
"As a family we've never had to confront this issue"... Is the line that makes me see just how oblivious Brooke is as to what's wrong here.
The kid's name is "Eric Jr.", so therefore, his father's name must be "Eric". It's not a big mystery Brooke, any kid can figure that out.🤔
The whole class figured it out 😂
There was nothing figure out. His classmate can simply open up a newspaper or magazine and reading about the bed hopping of good old Brooke and Eric. There is no secret or mystery or riddle about it. Just because Eric, Brooke and rigde are spinning things, lying and make up terminology and making false family relations and fairtales up, it doesn't make the truth go away.
right and I'm sure the parents talk about it too! its Beverly Hills - small town
Right?!
So let me get this right..
When Eric Jr was about 3 or 4 years old and couldn't really express himself in words he threw a dinosaur at James. And Ridge, upon hearing this, was immediately able to conclude that Eric Jr was unhappy with James marrying his mother and becoming his father. And Brooke actually was worried about the dinosaur incident and gave Ridge's immediately conclusion serious thought.
Now, Eric Jr can and has quite clearly expressed what is his issue here: His brother pretending to be his father and marrying his mother is sick and he does not want it...
And Ridge is confused as to what's going on, doesn't know what to do, and needs Taylor to observe Eric Jr at the wedding to give an opinion.
And Brooke spent yesterday worrying about Ridge's whereabouts and now is over at Sally's trying to blame CJ and basically get Sally to be her accomplice in making sure that she can present a united family front with her Ridge and Eric's 2 kids at the wedding.
😕
youuuu got it! :). Ridge is so dense - the boy flat out told you the issue; he's embarrassed and he thinks his family is sick, that's the issue! I don't get Taylor having to come and observe when she already knows the family dynamic - ridge with his half-brother's mom will of course make Eric Jr feel a certain way
@@deesee3622 and apparently that is CJ's fault 🙄
It's Eric Sr telling his son to pretty much get over his mother being in Iove with his brother for me.. I mean.. What is that mess?? Is anyone even listening to this child?
@@TriniT21
Eric needs to explain to his young son that Ridge and Brooke were engaged and together before he was ever born. 😮
Because Ridge is his half brother doesn’t mean that Eric isn’t still his father? And that he and Brooke are divorced therefore he has two blended families. 😌
@@bettyhopson But that isn't the issue. Eric Jr is repulsed by the idea of his mother marrying his brother _as any child would be._ This isn't a normal blended family situation. The fact that she was with Ridge before doesn't make it OK. She _married_ Eric first and _had his child_ first.
@@NewYorkNick0607exactly! If anything that should make it worse because now He should be asking h is father Why would he want to go after his son’s ex fiancé and have 2 kids with her? I’d have to look at my father sideways if he ever did that to my brother
Rick is seriously underestimating his mother's boogie boarding abilities. No one can "ride" like her.
🤣👍
Yes, Rick also thinks his mother is an victim. Another Male Forrester thinkin Brooke is oh so innocent 🙄
Brooke’s favorite expression: narrowing 👁 👁 into two disparaging little slits.
Second favourite is the one tear down the cheek 😢
She thinks this means ACTING

So the wedding is at "dusk", and yesterday Thorne instructed Jessica to invite "everyone". I can tell a lot of planning went into this! 😂

That is so true! It shows you the values of the Forrester family compared to the Logan family and Brooke! Night and day!

He should have eloped. Or just have the wedding with Sally, Darla and Saul as guests. And then we can see a scene after with him describing the beautiful wedding to his family 😂😂
Ain’t that the sad truth! 😂
Ah well, different writers, different priorities
Sounds like an Indian family.
…because it might reflect badly on you, Brooke?
Bingo, Sally.
I love how Sally sets Brooke straight. Knocks her off her high HORSE. 🐴 🤪
yup I think sally is on the mark with this one. Brooke is going to have to fully realize and face the consequences of the situation she and Eric created.

CJ is not having it with Brooke. 🤣😂
Omg I literally just wrote the same comment as a reply to @ministryofwrongthink9847 😂😂
CJ is totally unimpressed by Brooke, trying to come in there with some kind of authority lol.
Meanwhile, Brooke really thinks she's going to come in there and give parenting tips to Sally? 😕
Kid is rude. Brooke was pleasant to him. Clarke Jr references his absent father who ran off with little Eric's sister.
Yes, Trish! Brooke vs Sally. Sally schools B big time. OF COURSE! 🤗
@@blackblake3658 Clarke ran off with Eric's sister? You mean, also the sister of the man who also is sleeping with his mother and is about to marry her? 🤕
I mean, can sing the song all day about Clarke disappearing on his son (and as I said b4, can say the same about Brooke who had that same thing happen to her).
. But it doesn't change the issue of what's going on in Eric Jr's family here.
Brooke was shady to CJ LOL - but CJ should know the way he was brought into the world wasn't really with love at least with Eric JR love was involved even though I feel it was disgusting but at least he was wanted, CJ was not wanted because Sally paid his father to marry her and she just got pregnant on a fluke and Sally knows this but would never admit how she got Clarke; actually its quite similar to Brooke's situation in a way because Brooke also hides truths here and there to avoid any real confrontation on the facts
When Eric Jr. isn't having his temper tantrum or mood swings when Ridge isn't around.
Wonder if there's a correlation...LOL!
Ha😂 Sally was dropping facts on Brooke. More Sally-Brooke scenes! CJ is the GOAT! Reading Brooke for filth
Well CJ's father isn't exactly "father of the year" either. Clarke actually wanted CJ's name to be changed because he didn't want anything to do with the kid.
@@timbrown5576 Lots of kids don’t have a present father in their lives. It’s common and sad but not scan dalous. It doesn’t get much ickier than Eric jr’s situation.

I thought the subtle clues were interesting with Brooke talking to Sally, Sally saying things like hey Stephanie is coming for you now saying you’re a bad wife and mother, etc… then the show cuts to Stephanie telling Taylor I mean she’s a BAD mother! LOL
Thank you, Sally for pointing out the obvious. Brooke is there to save face for herself, not for her son. The "solution" by Brooke to keep their children apart is no solution to the actual problem. Are she and Sally going to sit in school with them and keep them apart there, too? Brooke isn't even addressing the real issue.
Steph is absolutely right... There are 2 children (well, one right now) running around not understanding the exact kinship in their family. Imagine one child of Brooke's currently being the niece of the other, and the other child has no idea if his brother is his uncle ... And Brooke thinks that is normal and that the solution is to get CJ to stay away from him.
Yes! Both Sally and Stephanie were speaking some much needed truths today. Eric referring to Thorne as "uncle Thorne" just proved it. The children are not even taught to refer to members of their family the correct way.
Come to think of it, Thorne and Rick have the _exact same_ family relationship that Macy and CJ do. And yet Rick never once related to Thorne as a brother, more like a distant uncle or a "family member" in general. Meanwhile, Macy and CJ obviously see each other as siblings, plain and simple (we never get the feeling that they think of each other as "half siblings").
Brooke doesn't realise Sally is on sh*t on Brooke o'clock ( @NewYorkNick beautiful exapession)
@@annieo6527 when Brooke started emphasising that Macy wouldn't want a scene from her brother at her wedding, I actually chuckled. At least CJ understands he is going to his sister's wedding, while Eric Jr doesn't know if he is going to his brother or his uncle's wedding 🤕🤕

It's your good ole mom who has been dragging you behind her in her quest for Ridge since you were a baby.
And then you all but disappereard when bridgit came along as the new Ridge trap. I will always remember Brooke having the dinner with her and bridgit dressed up in the same curtain material for "daddy".. There was no Eric Jr around then or for months after that.

@@TriniT21Yes, but Ridge finally decides for himself. That is what some viewers conveniently forget to acknowledge.
The only reason they have to hide Rick's paternity from the public and refer to Thorne as his "uncle" is because his mother married his brother. _Brooke and Ridge_ are the problem, not Sally and CJ.
And the paternity of Eric jrs is not a secret to anyone. That is public knowledge like also the family relationship with Thorne and Rigde.
Why do they need to hide Eric's paternity. Everybody knew who ERIC JR 's father was from the start when she was married to Eric.
The child whose paternity is supposed to be a secret, is bridgit and Brooke is walking round telling everyone Ridge is her father.
Brooke is just looking for a scapegoat as usual
His brother married his mom.
Ridge married his brother's ex and his father's ex but doesn't get trashed for it. Why?

Stephanie is dead right. These kids are confused and have no idea who who is and are given since years the wrong terminology for the people around them.
They were forced and pushed by their mother into a creepy, weird, confusing and hurtful situation.
And she acts all shocked when her children have dysfunctional relationships later on they're only following her example
Loved it when Stephanie said what her family all had to get through, just to make Brooke happy 😂👍🏻
But she is wrong that Taylor should counsel them. Huge conflict of interest.
@@scor66But Stephanie doesn't take responsibility for her actions. She and Eric had problems before they met Brooke.

It's interesting to see this interaction between Brooke and Sally because it establishes that Brooke, like all the other members of the Forrester family, looks down on Sally.
She doesn't accept any of Sally's offers (no, she doesn't want coffee - no, she doesn't want to sit down) and questions Sally in a way that implies that Sally is partly to blame for CJ's behavior.
Meanwhile, Sally is apologizing to Brooke and doing everything that a great mom should - trying to communicate with CJ, supporting him while not supporting his behavior.
Brooke was way more respectful to Sally and CJ than Stephanie is.
Great observation about the class dynamics! And this is something they've been consistent about. As I wrote in *episode 1588,* Brooke and Sally might have a common enemy in Stephanie but they don't have common goals. Brooke wants to be accepted into the Forrester clan and looking down on Sally is a way to separate herself from that low-class background she's trying to escape.
@@NewYorkNick0607 Exactly! And Sally was 🎯when she said that Brooke was concerned about Rick's behavior reflecting badly on her - which is something Sally herself is _not_ concerned about because she knows how the Forresters see her and accepts that. Sally's main concern is communicating with her son, not keeping up appearances at a family party.
Brooke rejected the offer for coffee, but then I see her drinking out of one of the coffee cups 😂
Great points Annie and Nick! And the actresses' look and the way the character is styled plays into this too. Brooke look s like a lower class person trying to be bougie. She doesn't come across as naturally classy and elegant as Stephanie or Taylor. That works for your interpretation of her trying to transcend her class background.
Omg Taylor looks gorgeous in that colour ❤❤
Truly gorgeous indeed❤

Oh Sally thank you for doing a résumé of Brooke's life and her great issues with Forrester Clan, which Brooke thinks are dead...
Sally paid CJ's dad to marry her. Desperate.

Hard to fathom how anyone can see the same prince and his fathers-exwife in the same way.
So Brooke orders Sally to keep CJ under control so that she (Brooke) doesn't look like a bad mother. Ridge asks Taylor to come to the wedding to help find a way to redeem his image as a great father. The common pattern here is that Ridge and Brooke both like to order around and exploit people in ways that help maintain a specific image of their identities. They're both image conscious and self absorbed. It's a match made in heaven.
Ridge and Brooke deserve each other.
Why is Brooke making it seem like everyone knowing she’s married to her sons brother such a big mystery? It’s public knowledge that ridge is Eric Forresters son just like its public knowledge that Brooke is married to Ridge and her son’s name Eric JUNIOR! Where’s the confusion here
Either Brooke or the writers are confused. Nobody else is
The writers are as delusional as Brooke I swear - this isn't rocket science; also the parents know a lot too and kids can hear them talking about them as well; plus Beverly Hills is practically Mayberry
@@deesee3622The writers are real. Brooke is not.

“Uncle Thorne wants you there” and then y’all surprised the boy is confused. Not only y’all got him thinking his brother is his daddy but his other brother is his uncle? Why couldn’t you just say “your brother Thorne wants you there” since that’s what he is to him? Has anyone actually had their parents refer to their older siblings as “Aunty/Uncle” to them growing up if there is a big age gap?
because they don't want to expose the dirty deeds even when it's obvious af!
Let’s face it. CJ has done Lil Eric a favor. His taunts have motivated the boy to finally reveal his pent up anger and resentment. Brooke’s happy family facade is crumbling in Taylor’s favor. 😆🥳
Exactly. The problem was never CJ.
Eric Jr stated very clearly to his father what the issue is (Altho he has it backwards of who is using him)... And that would have been the problem he had been having as he grew older and started to really understand his family dynamic better (that he obviously couldn't appreciate at 4 years old).
CJ was just the catalyst to get the story out of him. Bc clearly Eric Jr doing poorly in school and walking around looking unhappy and not really talking to Ridge didn't clue Brooke in that there was something seriously wrong with him.
(and as an aside.. In the upcoming who s h o T Grant story, we will see more of Brooke's oblivious parenting as she keeps her focus on Ridge and not her children's state of mind)

I had to cringe when Eric was telling his son, that whether Thorne is his uncle or his brother pretty much doesn't matter
😕
Yes! It does matter! Who in the world thinks this is a normal way for a kid to live, calling one brother his uncle. And seeing his other brother sleeping with his mother... 🤕🤕🤕
And I blame Brooke the most for this mess (and Eric gets a percentage too for supporting this mess) bc she is Eric Jr's primary caregiver (by her own choice) and she basically has been doing this madness, thinking the kids will understand.
And now Eric jr is showing that he clearly DOES NOT understand, and she's still going along like he's just supposed to get with the program, while she stays s E x ING his big brother... Make it make sense.

Stephanie doesn’t need a storyline. She is the engine that keeps the show running.
A wound that should have been treated by Brooke. She painted a fake "perfect" family and talked about it so much that she forgot that EricJr always knew he was Eric's.
How can Brooke wonder how CJ found out that _Eric Forrester Jr_ is, in fact, Eric Forrester's son?
And then saying that they haven't been "going overboard to publicize it", when in fact it is the other way around. They have told the press that _both Rick and Bridget_ are Eric's children. It's common knowledge. It's _Bridget's_ (supposed) paternity that has been kept a secret, not Rick's.
Same thing I said.
Eric Jr, is Eric Sr's namesake and Brooke's marriage to Eric Sr was never a secret.
Her moving on to "marry" Eric's son Ridge was also never a secret.
As Sally pointed out, the WHOLE CLASS knows.
A few epis ago, I wondered whether Bridgit's paternity as we know now, was still supposed to be a secret as they were trying to pass her off as Eric's, so as not to cause a scandal that Brooke has a child for Eric and another for his son.
But since then, Brooke has been in the magazines (incl the one Taylor saw all the way in Morocco) stating that these are Ridge's kids. And Ridge hasn't been exactly secretive either about saying bridgit is his. 🤕

The writers seem to be playing a bit confusing with the dialogue here. Because it seemed that Eric jr knew that Eric was his father all along. Now we have CJ teasing an older Eric jr about who his father is?
When Ridge began a relationship with Bridget, his daughter, Eric jr was included in the family unit. The children were treated equally by Brooke and Ridge as their parents.

@@TriniT21 Also, I am loving Sally mothering CJ. She calls him out for teasing Rick but does so in a supportive and sensible way. She clearly loves CJ and lets him know that she expects him to behave well.
@@annieo6527yes I really like her mothering with CJ.
It also speaks to how Ridge, Brooke, Eric or any of them were wrong to think Sally might have put CJ up to this or told him anything about Ridge and Brooke.
Also, I had to compare the mothering skills of Sally /CJ vs Brooke/ Eric Jr. Sally trying to solve the issue with CJ, while Brooke tries to solve the issue around Eric Jr.
Sally has CJ _with_ her, even if she's at work, until he tells her what's wrong. She recognises that she has to spend the time with him to get to the bottom of the issue.
On the other hand Eric Jr asked Brooke to pls go horseback riding with him.. He clearly wanted to spend the time with her but Brooke told him she was busy/go hang out with Ridge, and didn't recognise that what he wanted and needed was her time. Even if she carried him to work with her and spent the day there with him would have been better than just telling him no.
Oh Brooke, so happy to be in the Forrester family... 'It will be a FAMILY events, all the Forresters blah blah'. Girl, Sally is more of a Forrester than you and she's considered as an enemy. 🤣
Wait til she finds out her beloved Ridge personally asked Taylor to be there, esp up observe Eric Jr...😂
Brooke has a serious disconnect in her head, bc she is too busy trying to hold on to this fantasy life at all costs (even if it costs her son his well being)
Brooke has two kids with Eric and she is the majority owner of Forrester Creations.
@@blackblake3658but still she craves ALL Forresters acceptance. And Sally knows it.
@@blackblake3658 She can have children even with Stephanie and own majority of the Milky Way, it's not in the papers, it's not in the contracts, it's even not in the blood. 'Blood makes us related, loyalty makes us a family'. She's manipulative and dishonest since the beginning. You earn a place in someones family with love, the way through the family is not over dead bodies and that's Brooke's modus operandi.
Eric married Brooke and not Sally! Are you at least really watching the show?!?!? 😓🥺🥺
Wow!! How quickly kids grow up in this soap opera.. few weeks ago Taylor was giving swimming lessons to the kids and now Eric junior is like 8 years old or something.. 😅😅😅😅😅
He is 10
The 90’s fashion is the best…. Brookes outfits ATE here, it’s simple and effective
Looks like a tennis dress!😂
@@jemekiahall5848 or a beach dress, maybe she’s going after all. It would still work today.
Shame on you Eric for telling your son his uncle Thorn wount like if he dont go to his weddibg 😮😢😂
I mean the boys name is Eric Jr.... Not Ridge Jr.
right im surprised she didn't try to change his name lol
B rooke isn't making any sense!
Ridge, why go to the woman who you're about to divorce and ask her to the come to the wedding and observe Eric jr. Hell, Eric jr. wouldn't be acting this way if you would have dumped his mother and chose Taylor
Why in the heck did Eric tell his son that Thorne is his uncle? What happened to being a brother? hhhhh
While CJ was wrong for teasing/bullying Eric Jr. and it shouldn't not be shrugged off, Brooke set Eric Jr. up for this. Children do tease and adults do too. Sally was right when she said Brooke was more concerned about the situation reflecting badly on her.
Dear Stephanie, who will be confused is Ridge, when he discovers that Eric is not his father and that you have been lying all these years!!!!!
Eric Junior needs Taylor 😅 Oh Stephanie, you're manipulating again!
The Way Kelly Langs son played Rick as a jealous and hated step kid brother
Now I've watched 2111 episodes, watching several episodes every day. Bold and the Beautiful - 1995 (S8 E360)
FULL EPISODE 2111 These episodes are from 1995. Why do I have to wait for a new episode every day here on UA-cam? Since they are from 1995, I will never finish the entire series as long as I live with only one episode per day.
Sometimes you have to wait. We are lucky we even get to watch these old episodes.
Wow. This is brand new information.
I'm so glad they have finally stopped Putting those ridiculous large shoulder pads in Stephanie's jackets. And Have started. fitting her clothes to her as though She really does have a waistline.
Standing next to Brooke Sally looks very nice and more youthful. 😁😆
No way…I was noticing the opposite. Brooke looks youthful and beautiful…👍😁
Standing next to Taylor, Sally doesn't seem to wear so much milky makeup!
Very true😂
@@rafaelauger8865 How I wish milky makeup could lake me look as drop dead gorgeous as Taylor
Ridge asking Taylors input about Little Eric is a slap in the face to Brooke!
who the hell does Brooke think she is?? This is Sally’s daughter’s wedding! She has a lot more right to have her son there than Brooke…
(unless of course Brooke has slept with CJ too or does that happen later 🤔)
Sally and Brooke like Kate and Jodie🤭....
Wow Brooke everyone could clearly read and see right through you
Eric Jr. always at the center of strife for Ridge & Brooke. As a baby, he was throwing crying fits when Eric moved out of the condo, he was nearly killed when left unattended by Brooke & Ridge which caused Eric to lose his sight and move back in, and now he's out of sorts over Ridge and Brooke when just a few weeks ago, he was all lovey-dovey with Ridge. And we know how the future unfolds with his dynamic with his older half-brother. What a doozy!
How CJ turned from a thin, gentle boy with straight blond hair to an angry, chubby boy with black and curly hair ⁉️🤔🧐🙄😒
he has straight blond hair when??? when he was a baby??
He’ll be SORASed again in just a few years. Rick too.
Brooke is a _ridiculous_ character who is _obviously_ in the wrong this time and the show wants you to know that. The people defending her _even now_ are clowns.
Very true👏👏👍
😂😂👍🏻
Thank you. ❤❤❤
Just a few episodes ago Stephanie was rejecting Taylor for being an adulteress, and now she is encouraging her.
Ridge is still Taylor's husband
They made up. Did you miss that episode?
CJ and Little Eric have grown up pretty quickly in a few months. CJ got the childhood OBCT down pat from his mother and feeding his face
Sally makes a perfect picture of Stephanie planes against Brooke...maybe she' s the only wise woman in this soap!
Oh again i missed the live... the time schedule has changed 1 hour.. cu soon 😊
@@PeaceLoveHappiness7719 have a nice weekend 😉😉😉
What is this? Eric and Ridge lusted for Brooke and Stephanie can't accept it!
Stephanie is always jealous of other people's happiness! Look how she destroyed the relationship between Eric and Beth by bringing back into the picture Beth's husband who was living unknown and incognito thousand of miles away from LA!
@@rafaelauger8865
❤❤❤the woman is cold
Stephanie just Needs a hobby !!😂😂
Some of her hobbies connect Ridge and Taylor...
Trying to keep Brooke out of the family is a hobby!😂
@@jemekiahall5848No !! Correction !! Keeping Brooke out is fill time Job !!😂😂
Don't understand how Eric Jr and CJ suddenly became like 10 years old when just months ago Eric Jr was about 5 yrs old taking swimming lessons from Taylor. Brooke knew Ridge for 8 years but her son now abt 10 yrs old.
I know a family who have an autistic son, but they try to control the whole world except him. Similarly, Brooke leads a complicated life, then gets upset that it's affecting her children? She wants CJ and Sally to control themselves. But she won't explain or give emotional support that her children need. Then, as the years go by....it gets words. Wonder if she took notes from Maggie.
