Bold and the Beautiful

This year the Bold and the Beautiful was its usual self, you know Brooke Screwing Ridge and the rest of the Forrester family and Taylor getting drunk, driving with a suspended license and killing Darla then trying to cover it up. You know the usual, but as usual this show hits you with a curve ball and that curve ball is that Stephanie was physically abused as a child. In a therapy session with Taylor (which by the way would have taken years to uncover something that painful but it is a soap after all) she confronted her issues why she was controlling her children's lives. Stephanie and her husband Eric confronted her mother played by Betty White who is fabulous as the mother who won't face the truth about her husband and the abuse Stephanie endured as a child. What a really like about this is that it is realistic and brings out the best out of the actors. Susan Flannery is spectacular as usual and I liked the fact that there were real emotion and real feelings of hurt and betrayal. I don't know about you but I smell Emmy's all around.
