Thank goodness -- today's episode wasn't an advertisement for Macy's. The B & B writers really need to work on the subtlety and maybe, pawn off the responsibility for plugging Macy's on somebody not Steffy. In the few months that I've watched, the actress that portrays Steffy has been saddled with the responsibility of plugging things not B & B - related; a few months ago, she was plugging some kind of vegetable charity. Have nothing against Macy's or vegetables, but give the product placement a rest.
Next - Taylor saying that she'll do "whatever it takes" to get Rick out of Steffy's life conjured images of Brooke and Deacon. In my opinion, Taylor don't have what it takes to be calculating and ruthless. She needs a master - Stephanie- but Stephanie is otherwise occupied. However, Ridge finally figured out that he needs to record Rick's verbal diarrhea. I mean, seriously, dude... when he said he owned father-daughter @$$, I would've been on the interoffice phone with Jake, getting my office wired to the hilt. Of course, Brooke gets peckish, but freeing Steffy is more important than Brooke's ego. Or, Ridge could go to a security expert and acquire some special 'pens' that can go anywhere that Ridge goes.
Glad to see Thomas. He's yummy with that haircut. Young, but yummy.
As for Brooke, I think that she is really burying her head in the sand where Rick's concerned. To me, Rick is a combination of Deacon and Brooke's brother, Storm, and we all know what happened when their behavior went unchecked.
Can't stand Owen; dude's a whore!! But at least he and Jackie weren't flirting today. Their flirtings were very painful. And what exactly does Jackie do at Jackie M., besides running the company into the ground and promoting random dudes just for the chance of getting young beef.
As for Jackie M. and Nick and Stephanie's partnership, I really getting stoked about this. But the thing that got to me was Clark. I've been worried about his place as Jackie M., since Jackie has taken to dissing his work left and right. But the scene when he and Stephanie were talking about whether he would keep his job... it kinda got to me. Given the current economic climate and how it's currently affecting me, it was refreshing to see someone on B & B worrying about their future. I didn't worry about Owen because he's only been on the scene for five minutes, but Clark has a long history. I'm glad he's sticking around.
But the best part of today's show was the reintroduction of fun. B & B has been pretty depressing lately, mainly because the Logans have become the new pivotal family, but the sparks between Stephanie and Nick and maybe even Clark could usher in some fun that's been sorely lacking due to Darlene Conley's death and the phasing out of the Spectras. Make no mistake... the Spectras had their share of drama, but they were flawed, hungry with ambition, crass, at times, and just fcuking fun. Stephanie doesn't need to become Sally (no one could be Sally), but there is a golden opportunity that the writers of B & B would be stupid not to explore.
