*_"Why should I give a damn about what's best for this company if Brooke's children are going to get it?"_* If you don't understand that this woman is the most Keep It Real character on the show and always has been, I don't know what to tell you. Adjust your antenna.
What about Stephanie's children? Steph hit the nail on the head with that statement. No wonder she just left cabin and left Eric hanging. He just doesn't get it.
@@MrMharris1990 Eric was a simp for real for letting Brooke take their company away from them. If you ask me I don't know how Stephanie let Brooke live all these years. You took my husband AND my business? Masimo was right about Eric!
One of my favourite scenes ever between Steph and Eric - I put it up on YT years ago because it was so good. Susan’s gape and “Wellllll…!” when Eric says they’re his children too is one of her single greatest reactions in the show’s history IMO, so so funny and on point 🤣🤣
@@DonaldTaft it was funny but you could also sense her frustration and realisation of what she was dealing with here.. I am not sure if I ever liked Eric, but I know I totally disliked him at this particular moment with that particular line about it being his son too. It didn't seem to be his son too, all the years he had Brooke acting as Ridge was his children's daddy.
“We took advantage of Brooke’s depression!?!? What the HELL is in your mind??” Now this is what I love to see. I can never get enough of Steph ripping into Eric about his passive nonchalant way of dealing with Brooke stealing his family business. They definitely needed her in that last board meeting since she seems to be the only person who sees Brooke for exactly what she is.
*Ridge takes a good hard look directly into Massimo’s eyes and a connection is made.* 😆 @Esi, now the episode descriptions are joining in on the 🌈 jokes.
9:14 And THIS is what was missing. Thank you SF, for the reaction this whole storyline needed. ❤ Eric has to be a madman... And I hope Steph realises she is wasting her time with a loser and waste man like Eric.
@@NewYorkNick0607from the time the music cued and Steph's face went absolutely stone cold as she said: "she fired MY son?"... I knew it was on. And not Eric thinking Steph would just support Rick over Ridge, bc that's his son too. What is he.. An imbecile? Steph, girl, go run off with Massimo. At this point you couldn't do any worse. Steph never gave Eric money to start a business to give it away to all his future troll op children. What's so hard to understand about that? Everyone keeps saying Brooke made them a pile of money. But they have it backward... It was Forrester who made Brooke a pile of money (thanks to Eric marrying her) bc she didn't have two shillings to rub together b4 she insinuated herself. At least Steph keeps it in perspective thank goodness!
Let's see... On Brooke's first day back, she's managed to fire/demote Ridge, demotivate her ex husband and ex sister in law to the point where they are resigned to feeling grateful they still have their jobs, has spent more time concerned about her boy toy and coming up with a cover for her pregnancy, and alienated loyal staff... OK.. Good CEO work there. Guaranteed non toxic work environment. 😐 I guess her reinstating the bedroom line is really the only thing she can actually do successfully.
You have to marvel at SF's delivery in this episode. The range of emotions she traverses. Initially, she's giving us guilt, remorse, submission... then she goes into being the head matriarch that we all know and love. The way she says "She fired my son?!". Brilliant.
Very well put Emkay. Susan Flannery is such a brilliant actor that she can suggest a range of emotions in a single scene just with her vocal delivery. It's like how a great singer tells a story in a song with their vocal modulations. Susan is the Aretha of this show.
19:34 Massimo reminds me of Al Pacino as the De vil in The De vil's Advocate. Always there, always watching over the son who doesn't yet know he's his son.
Stephanie, softly: “Eric, I just hope you understand how much I love you and am devoted to you. Massimo means nothing. I have no purpose or personality at this moment other than to make you happy.” Eric: “Cool. I generally tend to feel I deserve such veneration. Oh hey, BTW, crazy story, Ridge got fired from the CEO position! Lolz. Can’t believe I forgot to tell you. Anyway-“ Stephanie, voice now having gone in 60 seconds from “soft and appeasing” to “ready to melt titanium”: “What?! What the hell old man?!” Eric, still oblivious that Stephanie is now in 🔥🔥🔥🔥 mode despite having known her for decades: “Yeah, it’s no problem though, because at least my Brookespawn will own the company. We can help Ridge get over it and accept his inferior status, though.” Stephanie: “Forget everything I said before about regretting my feelings, I’m ready to ride Massimo like a a stallion at this moment.” **Later that Day** Ridge, musingly: “You know, Mother, perhaps I’ve misjudged Massimo Marone. We had a good talk earlier.” Stephanie, taken aback: “You did?” Ridge: “Yes. He really gave me good career perspective, too.” Stephanie: “Oh good.” Ridge: “He seemed to just get me.” Stephanie: “Well, I’m glad you’re getting along better.” Ridge: “And then he asked me to look deep into his eyes, and I just felt something.” Stephanie: “Why can there not be *one* normal man on this show?”
I didnt remember how Whip was introduced. Again a character has a great introduction but of course he will fall in love with Brooke. Why not with Bridget?
Who goes in and speaks to their CEO like that? (Whip). Wouldn’t you go in and ask why you were looked over, explain the value you added and if there is a career path progression for you!
@@alisonrogers4687 because it's Brooke. And how else will she keep her new love of her life close to her daily? That's all she uses the company for anyway.

Thank God Real Steph came to the fore, because soft spoken, kissing up to Eric Steph was freaking me out a bit.
ITA 💯 if you don't get it, forget about it.
Again I finally get to see the full episode of a clip I saw somewhere on youtube 😅
Stephanie is regretting leaving her family to take care of the scheming while she was away.
That's like leaving Thorne to water the plants.
What about Stephanie's children? Steph hit the nail on the head with that statement. No wonder she just left cabin and left Eric hanging. He just doesn't get it.

Why does Eric care about Brooke and her brood when she spent all of their childhood pretending Ridge was their father?
Exactly.

😂🤣🤣 🙌 ❤🌈
😂😂😂 Love is love!
@@sharonstewart4882I’d say that was too twisted for even B&B, but, well, sadly I know Ridge/Bridget is not too far away 🤮
More proof that they're not related.
At 19:18 😂😂
9:14 And THIS is what was missing.
Thank you SF, for the reaction this whole storyline needed. ❤
Eric has to be a madman... And I hope Steph realises she is wasting her time with a loser and waste man like Eric.
She's always deserved better than Eric. Though I have to admit I like seeing them together.
@@sharonstewart4882honestly I'd rather see Steph by herself than with a weak man like Eric. He's not worthy of her. At. All.
I love how she went from 0 to 11 with Eric: "What the _hell_ is in your mind?!" 😆

Yesssss, he does!
I love that movie
@@Esi-741me too. I will watch it every time it's on like it's brand new lol
I liked Whip and thought he and Taylor should have ended up together since the writers refused to allow Taylor and Nick to ride off together.
Right, HT had good chemistry with RH. I loved Nick and Taylor more. The writers noticed it and they ruined their marriage...for Brooke
That was another quick head turn, she loved Whip as Brooke did Thorne and then it was like they never did!!
Steph listens to Eric's story like "I _knew_ I shouldn't have let you boys take care of the scheming while I was away."
@@annieo6527 reminds me of when she came back from her cruise. She asked Eric _"what have you done about it?"_
The minute she turns her back....
Stephanie, softly: “Eric, I just hope you understand how much I love you and am devoted to you. Massimo means nothing. I have no purpose or personality at this moment other than to make you happy.”
Eric: “Cool. I generally tend to feel I deserve such veneration. Oh hey, BTW, crazy story, Ridge got fired from the CEO position! Lolz. Can’t believe I forgot to tell you. Anyway-“

Hello Whip!
OMG, Ron may not be the best actor, but the scenes with Rigde and Massimo are chillingly good.
I didnt remember how Whip was introduced. Again a character has a great introduction but of course he will fall in love with Brooke. Why not with Bridget?
It must have been frustrating for Stephanie to run a business with Eric. Eric was such a fool and a sap when it came to Brooke
Alan-Michael Spaulding!
Stephanie has a lot of nerve. She sees nothing wrong with her own behavior ever. It’s amazing.
Who goes in and speaks to their CEO like that? (Whip). Wouldn’t you go in and ask why you were looked over, explain the value you added and if there is a career path progression for you!
Whip and Deacon Two HOTTIES ❤
Whip Appeal!
Enter Whip Jones
Here enters mr. Whipple Jones , Brooke's number how many husband😂😂😂
At 19:38 has Stephanie put it all together?
Ok did I miss something? Why did Brooke pick that position for Deacon if Whip(who had nothing to do with situation) she just pushed him out of way?
@@alisonrogers4687 because it's Brooke. And how else will she keep her new love of her life close to her daily? That's all she uses the company for anyway.
She could always just start a new bedroom line to keep her new "destiny" close by🤣.
Hey Whip the next husband of Brooke hhh
Soon Brooke will be Mrs Whip Jones
Boy them some lying rich folks!
Visit with the kids to get some
