Someone actually works at Forrester!

Over the last two days, very little has happened on Bold and the Beautiful. Bill Spencer's will was read; he left some gag gifts for Donna and Clark and half of his empire to daughter Karen. I don't know how permanent Karen's stay will be, but I wouldn't mind if the writers play around with a Karen the cougar storyline, with yummy Thomas as her unsuspecting prey.

Yummy Thomas.

Beyond the making out with Thomas part, it could be a good storyline, given her resemblance to Ridge's first wife, Caroline;the possibility of the breakdown of Karen's relationship with Stephanie because Stephanie, being Stephanie, wouldn't stand for an older woman getting her groove back with Ridge's son; and ramifications for Taylor, given that she engaged in a similar relationship with Rick, who could be considered Thomas' contemporary.

As expected, Eric completely shrugged off Rick's deplorable behavior and continued to insist that Rick and Ridge can and should work together. Ridge stormed out, kiboshing Pam's efforts to get Ridge's signature on some very important paperwork. Pam was thwarted again when she called Ridge and was told that he was too busy to deal with business (read: too busy trying to pull Brooke's head out of Rick's ass).

Poor Pam... however, it was the first time, in many months, that I saw anyone doing anything resembling work at Forrester Creations.

And she cocked it up.

But at least she was upset about it and determined to fix it. Finally, someone I can truly relate to, especially the twisting oneself into knots because Douchebag Boss isn't on top of his own shit. It's kinda bad that Pam seems to cower to Ridge, despite being his aunt and not beefing about her unjust stay in stir because of Ridge's son (hot Thomas). If it was me, I probably would've gotten pretty snotty about things, throwing out that I am the only person who works at Forrester, no matter what Payroll thinks and that I'm willing to jump off the hamster wheel any minute. But of course, I'm just a viewer, and if it was real life, I would probably suffer in silence just like Pam.

Anyway, the important papers that Pam was freaking out about turned out to be Ridge and Brooke's marriage license. Riddled with typos, the license was deemed invalid. Pam told Stephanie, hoping that Stephanie would get her out of this jam. Why was it that Stephanie had just came from Taylor's and had Taylor's pontifications about not going after a married Ridge/marriage is sacred/breaking up a marriage is a line I would never cross still ringing in her head?

PRETTY DAMN CONVENIENT, B & B writers.

And quite frankly, kinda sloppy.
