Dot, I just finished reading chapter 21 and absolutely love it. Great chapter. Hope it is okay to post comments about it here.

So Tatiana is Taylor's daughter with Omar? I don't see Taylor abandoning her child. I wonder if Omar told Taylor that her daughter died after birth and kept the baby as reminder of Taylor. Omar had all the time in the world to teach Tatiana to hate her mother and now uses Tatiana as a weapon for revenge against Taylor's desertion? A diabolical plan using a daughter against her own mother. Do keep Tatiana evil. Brings more intrigue to the story.

As for the poolside scene with Budge. That reminds me of the infamous "nightgown scene" just before Bridget hatched her plan of telling Nick that she had an abortion. Why is it that people can just barg into someone's home and make a scene about the clothes or lack of clothes a person is wearing in the privacy of his/her own home?? However I love Deacon's reaction and wonder what would have happened if Bridget wasn't there.

As for Bricky taking it slow, I agree that it is a good thing, even though I would miss reading more about their passionate lovemaking. But they do need that time to get to know each other, the period of courtship is vital to a successful relationship. Their date is so cute. I love it.

As for Ridge, did he give up on Brooke or is he going to use Taylor to make Brooke jealous? A skunk remains always a skunk. Taylor is hardly out of the door and he is sexing up a model young enough to be his daughter?

A great chapter. ;D Keep it coming.

Tatiana is Taylor's daughter. Why did Omar keep her and why doesn't Taylor either know about her or care about her? That will come out in future chapters. Right now Tatiana is furious with her and wants Taylor to suffer and suffer badly. Tatiana may not really be evil, she is a young woman who was abandoned by a mother who has moved on and raised a family without her. Can you blame her for hating Taylor?

As for the poolside scene with Budge. That reminds me of the infamous "nightgown scene" just before Bridget hatched her plan of telling Nick that she had an abortion.

I'm glad I wrote this before that scene happened LOL, but those kind of scenes are not uncommon on the show. Bridget is angry at Brooke because she wants her mother to wake up and make her life with Ridge. All her life Bridget has seen how Brooke has wanted Ridge and she just doesn't believe that she could feel differently now. She sees her mother as acting foolishly and in danger of losing the love of her life.
I did have fun with the Deacon reaction scene but Brooke isn't about to further confuse her life by letting anything happen with him. But Deacon is enchanted now. Will he leave Bridget for Brooke or keep her in order to still stay in contact with this woman?

As for Bricky taking it slow, I agree that it is a good thing, even though I would miss reading more about their passionate lovemaking. But they do need that time to get to know each other, the period of courtship is vital to a successful relationship. Their date is so cute. I love it.

It's very hard for both Brooke and Nick to take it this slowly, but they both do want to know each other on more than one level and to prove to themselves and the rest of the world that what they found is real. I think they are having fun but I doubt that they will be able to hold back their passion very long. It will be fun watching their frustration as they try.

As for Ridge, did he give up on Brooke or is he going to use Taylor to make Brooke jealous? A skunk remains always a skunk. Taylor is hardly out of the door and he is sexing up a model young enough to be his daughter?

A great chapter. ;D Keep it coming.

Ridge isn't giving up on Brooke, he did turn to Taylor as is his normal pattern, but I also needed him in her orbit for Tatiana's plan to mean even more. Ridge was extremely frustrated and very turned on and he let things get out of hand with Tatiana. Now what will he do?
Thanks for reading and commenting!
