#BoldandBeautiful fans Cliffhanger Friday has ended with gushing love the past couple of weeks; but not so this week. On Friday, there was plenty of throwin’ shade and sippin’ tea. No need to hesitate, “Let’s Talk About Soaps.”
Well RJ has arisen from the ashes of boarding school and he’s back with a vengeance. It’s evident that he took a course in Throwin’ Shade and I can guarantee you, he received an A. He walked in to see BRIDGE in each other’s arms only to find out it was a farce. He started out telling Brooke that her engagement ring was the most HIDEOUS ring he’s ever seen, ROTFL.
He told BRIDGE they belong together and whatever Brooke is feeling for $Bill, it needs to stop. WOW, RJ thinks you can turn on and off your emotions like a faucet. Ridge says just because BRILL is getting married doesn’t mean they are not a family. RJ evokes Stephanie and reminds them how they fought for each other when she tried to keep them apart.
RJ is buying none of it; he wants his family. He could care less about the company. He tells BRIDGE “if they don’t do anything to stop this he will” and leaves. Well ok, lil’ Ridge, go do your thang.
Brooke didn’t realize how important it was to RJ and feels she is letting him down. Ridge assures her that all kids want their parents together and she’s not letting him down. After unsuccessfully being able to reach RJ, Brooke goes over the Spencer.
Alison is back and she’s also a treasure chest. She’s throwin’ shade in her own special way. Delivering to $Bill the wedding bands; divorce papers, signed and executed; and marriage license. $Bill pulls out the contract that gives Brooke his 12 1/2% shares of FC to Brooke; Alison is none too thrilled and continue to interrogate him on if he’s positive he wants to give up his shares.
She reminds him that he’s giving up all his rights as a shareholder and the ability to hold it over Ridge’s head. $Bill says he doesn’t care as long as he can have Brooke. WHAT? What happened to my ruthless $Bill? He would NEVER make a business decision based on emotions, ESPECIALLY if it was going to benefit Ridge. My $Bill has left the building, someone, please go get him. Ever since he’s hooked up with Brooke he was ruined. It took a long time to get the skank off of him; but here we are again. The ONLY reason I’m going to pull for BRILL is I’m a CaRidge fan, so if I have to sacrifice the already tainted $Bill, so be it.
Then this whip arse $Bill says that the Forresters are in this predicment because of him; he created a child with “that psychopath” (repeating that same BS Steffy told him). WOW how insensitive, so basically he’s saying he regrets Wyatt being born.
Elsewhere, Steffy is elated to share the news with Thomas that $Bill might be whisking Brooke away to get married today. They could get the shares today and its “bye bye Quinn.” Thomas is picking up a “vibe” from Steffy and questions if she’s still onboard. She shares that she is but questions Ridge. Although he didn’t say anything, she sensed he was torn.
Thomas and Steffy goes to the office to get an update. Thomas asks if the rumors are true that BRILL will be married soon. Ridge says he doesn’t know. Steffy insist they move quickly to get Quinn out of their lives. Ridge thanks her and says that might not be happening right now. She wants to know what’s wrong. He tells them their brother is back and isn’t happy that BRILL is getting married and neither is he.
Now, I see that Steffy and RJ are going to have a problem with each other. This right here should be interesting how this unfolds. Because Steffy is used to getting her way, she’s a TRIDGE kid and RJ don’t take no ch*t either, he’s a BRIDGE kid. So this should be fun to watch…..
Over at the Forrester mansion, Quinn gushes to Ivy about her 8-carat engagement ring. Ivy is excited for QURIC, which Quinn is glad to hear and says she’s changed. Quinn notes the changes in Ivy, which she orchestrated. Now there’s nothing wrong with a makeover, although she didn’t need it because she’s drop dead gorgeous. I’m still HIGHLY pissed about the change in Ivy’s accent. That’s an assassination of someone’s culture to demand, criticize, and bully someone into changing. It’s insults all Australians, the notion that for an Australian, or anyone from another country, that in order for them to be “perfect, excited, beautiful, and interesting” they must have an American accent is ludicrious.
After all the changes, Ivy states she’s beginning to believe its impossible. I can only hope it’s impossible for a LIVY reunion. After Liam dumped Ivy at Aly’s memorial service, I’m done and done with LIVY. Yes, call me petty, tell me I hold a grudge; whatever, but I don’t want Lame Liam anywhere near Queen Ivy.
Ivy said she reached out; called him, texted him, but she still doesn’t see much of him. Quinn press her to continue. Then my girl Ivy quickly lets her know that she’s NOT going to throw herself at Liam. She can’t control who Liam wants to spend the rest of his life with. She said she kissed him the other day; Quinn thinks that’s fantastic; but Ivy is even more sure that Liam is in love with Steffy.
Quinn appreciates Ivy as an ally, her helping protect STATT’s marriage. Ivy says she’s doing this because she’s interested in Liam and if there’s a future for them. Quinn assures her there’s no manipulation. I love you Ivy, but I’m hoping there no future for you and Liam. I’m hoping while you are “sippin’ tea” with Quinn that you are really playing her because you want to get back with Wyatt. Although your mouth says you want Liam, your nonchalant attitude about it makes be believe you are doing some reverse psychology on Quinn and we will soon see WIVY.
Quinn goes in on Steffy that she has it out for her and tries to convince Ivy that she has it out for her too. Quinn is sure if Steffy keeps it up, Eric will side with her. Quinn says if she wasn’t so important to Wyatt she would let it go, but Steffy is his wife; she should be concentrating on her marriage, not this mission to destroy her. Well Quinn, I agree with that, Steffy has been way too off focused and blaming you is totally wrong. Steffy needs to just admit she doesn’t want to be married to Wyatt and go back to Liam.
Ivy says that Steffy is just protecting Eric. Quinn says Eric doesn’t need protection from her, she’s a changed woman. Steffy needs to get over it because she is marrying Eric and she’s going to be the next Forrester matriarch. LOL, she stands in front of Stephanie’s portrait and looks off afar.
Oh, the sun is shining so bright in $Bill’s office; enters RJ to throw some shade. Sarcastic $Bill tells RJ that he’s obviously lost and interns are on the 12th floor, run along. RJ laughs that $Bill doesn’t remember him. Clueless $Bill thinks he’s the intern that messed up his lunch order by ordering mayo on his sandwich; he hates mayo. RJ tells him to take a good look. $Bill barfs “do I look like someone who enjoys guessing games? Get out of my office.” RJ goes and closes the door leaving $Bill even more confused. RJ, “You are marrying my mother and you don’t even recognize her son?” BOOM, let the shade begin.
BAHAAAA, $Bill tries to act all friendly now, it’s been so long, are you home from school, have you seen your mom? Lol, RJ is standing there staring at him like he’s getting ready to snatch that sword off his neck. Oh, boy $Bill thinks he came to congratulate him in person and he appreciates that.
$Bill tells RJ they are going to elope. RJ **eyeroll** “wait? run away?” An excited $Bill says afterwards, he wants RJ to meet them on his yacht and shows him the wedding bands. He didn’t want them to be over the top. RJ **eyeroll** “no, you wouldn’t want to be inappropriate.”
$Bill wants RJ know how much he cares about Brooke. RJ (((shade throwing))) “Yeah? How could you? You have a son with her sister.” Ok, I’m crying from laughter about now, $Bill pick up your face, you will need it because RJ isn’t done yet.
“The divorce has been worked out and everybody is happy,” says the Dolla. RJ **eyeroll** (((shade throwing))) “Really?” Dolla says they will fill him in on the details. WOOOOOOOO, RJ, **eyeroll** (((shade throwing))) **eyeroll** “Let me fill you in on the details. I came back here to see my parents and I found this HIDEOUS ring on my mom’s finger.” $Bill is insulted that RJ thought the ring was HIDEOUS and says “clearly you are upset about something.” YOU THINK DOLLA? WOW, after all that shade throwing RJ has been throwing you JUST figured it out?
Ok, bow down, get the Visine, Lipton Tea or whatever you need because RJ, tells Dolla he and Brooke marrying “ain’t gonna happen.” ROTFL There’s a staredown between RJ and Dolla; then RJ does a neck move. BOOM…..
$Bill tries to reason with RJ and lets him know they are in love. Nope, don’t care RJ is having none of that. “All my life, my mom needed a little guidance. I’m glad I came back when I did, she needs it now more than ever.”
$Bill says he’s not the enemy. RJ tells him he saw BRIDGE in each others arms when he returned. They have been in love all of their lives. “Do you really want to get into the middle of that?” $Bill says it’s natural for a kid to want their parents together. He says it’s not about him, they belong together. $Bill can’t agree, but he can say they raised a bright and ‘spunky’ son; but there is no future there. Ridge will agree with that. RJ wants to know how he knows. $Bill decides not to drop the bomb, but says Ridge’s interest lies elsewhere, on the company and Brooke wants this as much as he does.
WOOOOOOOOOOOO, RJ tells $Bill that he’s not going to let Brooke marry another loser like Deacon Sharpe. $Bill laughs about the comparison and says he’s far from Deacon. RJ brings him to reality, “you’re the concided, tough guy she always falls for.”
$Bill reiterates as he sees RJ is having a problem with this, but it’s happening and they are leaving on a plane today. RJ tells him to cancel the trip. $Bill tells him he’s not going to do that and he needs to learn his place, ‘son.’ He and Brooke have been through h*ll and back to get here and they are not going to be told by a teenager what to do, even her own son……
Brooke walks in $Bill tells him that RJ is not his number one fan; but he explained to him they have a plane to catch. RJ pleads with Brooke not to do this. $Bill raises his voice and says enough, have a little respect for your mother. RJ continues to plead with Brooke not to do it.
Well, well, what will happen next? Will RJ, stand down, and let the nuptials proceed or will he throw himself in front of the plane? If RJ is successful in stopping the wedding, will Steffy show him some special “big sister” love by taking him down and seeking revenge on RJ? What about QURIC, will their wedding go off without a hitch? You tell me…..
