Bold and the Beautiful went full-on schizo on Thursday.
Bridget decided to give Nick a chance -- again.
But worse... despite Jackie flat-out saying that his job would be contingent on him servicing her, no matter if he's into it or not, Owen spun his relationship with Jackie as mutually consensual, which is a total pantload. No matter, the B & B writers wrote themselves out of some corners; granted, in the most awkward, slap-happy, and sloppy manner.
I should be relieved, given that Bridget and Owen's near encounter were among the most pathetic things I've seen in a long time. Why did Bridget have to be so verbal versus being vocal? Every word that came out of her mouth made Owen's wood less petrified, not that I wanted Bridget to get with Owen. My problem with Bridget is that her past pains hasn't seasoned her in any way, shape, or form. No, humans shouldn't seek out romantic disappointments or betrayals, but we sure as hell can benefit from them down the road. Bridget hasn't, or rather, the writers aren't allowing Bridget to embrace the bitterness, disappointment, or disillusionment. And no, it's not about being a Stephanie Jr., but it would be refreshing for a book-smart Bridget to be a little more street smart.
And as for Katie going on an alcoholic bender just because she decided to cut Nick loose... gimme a break!! Given that she recently went through a heart transplant, I would think that she more conscious and careful about how abusing any sort of substance would compromise her health. And getting liquored up in the presence of some strange man and letting him take her to his hotel room... even more stupid.
Although Don Diamont looks awfully cute with the facial hair. I never really care for his Brad Carlton; he looked too smug and pretty for his own good and I really didn't care for the way Brad jerked Tracy Abbott around, back in the day. But I kinda like him as this Bill Spencer, as long as he keeps the beard.
And Eric calling Stephanie over to help him save Forrester, after he kicked her out of the company? Sniff!
