When Taylor fled Eric’s bedroom last July in the
fallout of her revealing Brooke’s miscarriage, my long relationship with The
Bold and the Beautiful ended. I check in
every now and then, and the Internet makes it very easy to keep up with the
plots of all the soaps remaining on air.
B&B has only had one or two plots the past few years, which also
helps. Stop watching for six months and
you won’t miss a thing.
Currently Thorne’s daughter with Darla (RIP) appears
to have come down with a case of Soap Psycho Syndrome. Apparently she has some past claim or
misguided obsession with Max Brady—er, Wyatt Fuller—who is Hope’s boyfriend of
the current five minutes.
Blessing of soap blessings—Taylor enters Eric’s
office looking lovely as ever.
Apparently she is still seeing patients but has fled to Paris to be
closer to Thomas and Steffy. There is
also a bit of reminiscing about Stephanie and some discussion that Ridge #2 has
reunited with Brooke. It would have been
better to see her with the new Ridge in this episode, but I suppose we can’t
have everything.
Back in Paris, Ally is in full-on psycho mode,
telling Wyatt to get his grimy hands off Hopeless. Run, Max, don’t walk, back to Salem! Stock
footage of Paris, then Thorne and Brooke enter the room. Oh, hey, there’s Thomas. Presumably this is the first time Thomas and
Ally have seen each other since before they both caught SORAS. Max Brady has decided to market a collection
of Stephanie’s jewelry. Ally looks
irritated.
Eric and Taylor discuss Ally. Of course Young Hopeless was the one who
spilled the beans to Young Ally about Taylor accidentally killing Darla, so
maybe she should have issues with Hope rather than her current BF. Hmm, Hope seems to be having trouble keeping
a straight face. Well, Darin Brooks is a
funny guy. Wyatt wants to sell jewelry
and everyone agrees, although Ally freaks out again. Sigh.
Thorne and Thomas work to reassure Ally that the jewelry collection will
honor Stephanie, but Ally is spouting that old gibberish about Hope having
morals, principles, and values. Didn’t
she shack up with a married man?
Praise God, back to Taylor and Eric. Flashbacks to Taylor, Thorne, and Young Ally,
back when this show actually still made a modicum of sense. Well, there we have the scene where Ally
destroyed Taylor’s wedding dress. On
this show, though, the closets should be full of dresses. A Forrester closet must be even better than a
bridal boutique.
Hope tells Wyatt that Ally seems to hate him. Hope is turned on by Wyatt. Blah, blah, blah. She leaves Max Brady—um, Wyatt—and Ally comes
in and gives him the stink eye.
Apparently Ally wanted Hope to marry Liam—didn’t they do that in Italy
two years ago?—and feels that Hopeless has compromised her “values”. God, no wonder I gave up this show so easily.
Hope talks to Brooke and Thorne about Ally and they discuss
much she used to look up to Hope. Her
“message” was super important. Lord.
Back to Ally and Wyatt, where Ally is blathering on about Liam’s better
qualities. Must be watching a different
show than me, sweetheart. Wyatt tells
Ally that he and Hope are now members of the Mile High Club and she slaps him
and fires him from Forrester Creations.
WTF? Who gave this child Human
Resources power? I didn’t know she’d
taken over for Eric.
Fade to black.
That’s it? No more Eric and
Taylor? Lame. Looks like I’m back to not watching, unless
Taylor comes back for a repeat business.
Permanently would be better, though.

Who is Thomas? The same one I watched? NuThomas? Or is this Nu Nu Thomas?
