The Bold and the Beautiful - MESSAGE BOARDS

I was proud of Hope again on Friday's show!! She has shown great maturity throughout all of this, and to those who thought the "marriage" between Steffy/Liam was longer, even Steffy stated the "last eight months", which would include two months of so called marriage and six months waiting for a divorce.

Proud of our girl, again.

For some reason Steffy has held onto the hate, Phoebe & Thomas had let go of it. I remember in one of the episodes Ridge warned Steffy about letting the hate consume her and turning bitter like his mother, kind of sad to see so much hate.

Ridge can be objective at times, and it's nice to see when he is. Thanks for reminding us, grandmarose. He gave his daughter some great advice. It's too bad she didn't pay much attention to it.

Proud of Hope. She handles herself with class and a sophistication that Steffy has never possessed, even with her years on Hope.

I'd like to thank-you too GMR- I had forgotten when Ridge told Steffy that. That was a very fatherly thing to say. Personaly I have gleaned from the stories he has tried to be a good Dad. To all his children. And A voice of reason. He has a problem at times finding that balance. Not that this is easy for any parent.

My issue of late is his concern for Steffy and how she told him of his neglect in favor of Hope and Brooke clouded his judgement and he drew lines not expecting equaly of Steffy as he did Hope.

It was clear the minute Hope Quit calling him Dad. He had deeply hurt Hope. He should have talked to both girls together. Told them of his love and concern for them both.

I forgot, he should of let liam have it much more than he has!!!

Fata, I agree I think Bell is trying to fix all the damage he has done to these characters. It is going to be hard at this point, but I am glad that Hope did try and I agree she should give it some time.
