Been avoiding Bold and the Beautiful talk...

for the better part of two weeks because I was colossally disappointed with May's episodes, which is likely my own fault. May is typically Sweeps month, and it wasn't like B & B's powers that be touted it as same, therefore I can't claim that May was anti-climatic. It was merely disappointing.

I realize that they had to introduce Bill Spencer's character and sell the audience on the idea that he was an actual threat, but the rest of the story lines left something to be desired. Bridget and Nicks' reunion? Owen and Jackie's revisionist relationship? And the sloppy way they slipped the undocumented worker storyline in the last week; resolving the problem within a two day time period seemed rushed and hackneyed. And Stephanie saving Forrester by recording Bill Spencer? Total cheat.

But there were some good stuff associated with the Bill Spencer - for one, Bill Spencer. Despite the metrosexual gear, including the man purse, Bill Spencer is kinda sexy. And the dialogue between the Forresters during the Spencer crisis was pretty good. And surprisingly, I was really relieved that Donna didn't sleep with Bill. Mind you, I think that Bill did get into her head and will likely get her into bed for free.

Then the funny... Rick Forrester. He somehow convinced Brooke and Steffy that, after mere weeks of therapy, he is a changed man. Personally, I laughed my ass off when he told Brooke that he needed her emotional support, given that his dad was "too busy at the office".

"Too busy at the office"... WTF!!!!

"Too busy at the office" and "Fired" were trying to save the damn company, something, I would think, that Pwesident and CEO would have had a ringside seat for, given they are executives of the company.

And Ridge, rightfully, hit the roof when Brooke took Rick's side. It's about time that Ridge reiterated that when a man has a serious beef, he can't be talked out of it with baby voices and promises of hot sex.

However, when Ridge met up with Taylor at Phoebe's grave, it gave me pause. Isn't it illegal or just plain wrong to give someone a prescription drug when their ailment hasn't been diagnosed?

Anyway, I expect to be annoyed by Rick and Steffy. And Brooke too. But I hope that Stephanie gets back to work at Jackie M. instead of hanging out at Forrester ALL THE TIME!!
