FINALLY. Finally. The end is near for Steffy and Liam and the long-suffering, stomach churning Liam and Hope can ride off into horizontal heaven and away from Steffy and from us having to keep going through those horrible flashbacks. Who do we have to thank for that? Certainly not the Logan GB'ers that relentlessly and mercilessly continued frontal assaults on a young woman who could have possibly been dying. Certainly not the poor, waffling idiot Liam who couldn't stay mentally or physically faithful to Hope while engaged to her. The one continuing to suck the fillings out of Steffy's teeth and ogle her pictures, then passed Hope's ring on to Steffy five seconds after getting it back he was so desperate for sex. Nope, we have Dollah Bill to thank for doing us all a HUGE favor and being the means of destruction for Steffy and Liam. Dollah Bill who still hasn't learned that you don't handle family like you do a huge, multi-billion dollar business where everyone jumps to attention when you walk down the hall or hits their knees on command even when on the phone halfway around the world.

Watching Bill try to calm Katie down was touching, really, if I actually bought what he was selling. Almost had me, too. I could really see how Bill could be so powerful and used to getting his own way that writing a check and letting everyone think Steffy was dying seemed to be harmless to him. Whining to Katie about how he hasn't learned how to deal with family yet, something he's never had, almost *almost* had me pouting and ready to forgive him myself. Granted, locking Katie in that tower was over the top, obsessive and downright STUPID, but like he said, she just needed to cool down so he could talk rationally to her and get her to see he was just trying to save his son's marriage because he knew his son was acting irrational.

Not that anything Katie has done in the past few months is rational. She flew into a panic and screamed his name over and over lying in a hospital bed begging him not to leave her months ago when she knew he was ready to walk out the door and shack up with Steffy. Honey, if I knew for a fact my husband had taken up with a chick half his age and was ready to walk out, I'd send for a taxi for him and make sure he got the name of my lawyer by noon the next day. The Logans just don't have any pride about themselves as women and define themselves as male property. Then a few weeks ago, she goes off on a tangent trying to break up a married couple, filling Liam's head full of garbage and urging Hope to intervene. Add to that now the latest round of irrational behavior she didn't think through first, spilling the truth about her husband's behavior to Liam hoping it would break them up.

HEY STUPID…..all those fears you obviously have knowing your husband still has strong feelings for Steffy? She loves Liam, but YA JUST HANDED HER TO BILL. Katie blurted out the truth because she hates Steffy, not because she wants Liam and Hope to be happy together. She's still so insecure about Steffy, it's unreal, and it's her husband she should be insecure with, he's obviously not over Steffy yet and even Katie sees it. So will Katie forgive Bill for the latest stunt he pulled and go back to hunky dorey with him? I'm betting she will, she is drunk on being Mrs. Bill Spencer and not the mousy, no-talent, no-life Katie Logan who couldn't keep a man interested. Oh heck yeah, she'll forgive him. It will take groveling a bit, but Dollah knows how to twist Katie around his money clip. I wish he'd twist it around Hope's neck.

"I want your son". SAY FREAKING WHAT???? We've had to choke through the last 2 years of her self-righteous 'I'm moral, I've got principles' garbage knowing she was spouting it because she's so afraid of sexual intimacy that she can't even pass the Victoria's Secret store in the mall without walking faster and looking the other way, covering that side of her face. She sure showed how much she really believes in those morals when she let her momma talk her into bedding down with Liam behind the public's back and giving it up without a wedding ring so she didn't risk losing him to Steffy, didn't she. Add to that how she's thrown herself at a married man for weeks now, we all know 'principles' and 'morals' mean nothing to her, she just spouts those words for attention and to hide behind because she's so sexually immature. Hope is SO making me sick every single time her face is on the screen.

So Steffy and Liam are possibly on the way out thanks to Dollah Bill. GOOD. I hope it doesn't take too long, I'm so sick of the sighs, the tears and the flashbacks between Humpty and Dopety that I'm ready to drive to LA and marry them myself. Here's a few random thoughts about last week………

** Wow, Hope sure does have the impression that she runs Forrester Creations, doesn't she. Oh, I'm going to pull the line, I'm just not feeling it anymore now that I don't have a man. Oh, I'm going to get to the bottom of who stole *our* collection. No, I mean it, Mom, I'm pulling the line. Geesh, she's always in Ridge's office sitting at his desk, she's always in the middle of anything that happens at Forresters. An illegitimate child from a filthy affair her mother had with her sister's man, she's not a Forrester and even though she's accepted by Ridge as family and he treats her as such, she still turns on him quicker than a rabid hyena and still walks around Forresters like SHE owns 25%, not Steffy. Steffy and Thomas's lines were pulled to concentrate on Hope for The Future by the CEO, yet this not even 20 year old kid thinks she can pull it herself???? Speaking of which, did you hear her say when *SHE* came up with this concept, she believed in it?? Someone needs to remind her that Hope For the Future wasn't HER idea, it was Katie's, done only to piss off Steffy. It wasn't even supposed to be a real line. Hope acts like she invented it, she runs it, she makes all the decisions on it. Hope makes me sick.

** Notice how Brooke was all sympathetic and soft stroking Ridge's shoulders when she broke the news to him that Steffy's marriage might just be over??? The same snaggly toad that was just hissing at Steffy (still thinking she had a dangerous blood clot that could kill her, mind you) and demanding she leave Liam and Hope alone and walk away? Rubbing it in her face that Liam and Hope were together and she wasn't going to tell Steffy where they were??? Her virgin teenaged daughter and a married man, no less. Brooke has done this for thirty soap years, being giggly, sympathetic and fake to the men (Ridge, Thorne, Eric, Nick, etc) about the other woman while being a nasty, snarky bitch to the women behind the men's backs?? Brooke treated Taylor, Macy, Caroline, Stephanie, hell even the therapist Tricia like dirt, physically attacking several of them then when the men are watching, she instantly plays the victim and plays all sympathetic about them when she's talking to the guys. Brooke is SO freaking fake

* Poor Thomas. He poured his heart out to Hope, tried to help her, to treat her like the one and only woman in his life unlike Liam did engaged to her, yet she walks all over his face, treats him like dirt and has the nerve to get all nasty with him? Hope makes me SICK.

** Who wanted to laugh like hell watching that one single tear come down Brooke's face again when she was pouring her heart out saying if she would have had a role model like Hope, she might have turned out different??? What the hell happened to how much Brooke supposedly loved her own mother? The one who worked her ass off raising 4 kids on her own? Putting their needs ahead of hers? Brooke's mother begged her not to go after Eric, BEGGED her. Brooke laughed in her face and told her mother to suck it up. Brooke is such a joke.

** WTF, Liam standing there on that roof pouring his heart out to Hope saying 'somehow' he ended up married???? Oh Steffy, PLEASE run, don't walk, away from this waffling idiot. Don't get caught up in years of waffling like your momma did after the 2nd resurrection and Brad Bell decided to rewrite history and try to wipe out the decade long love story of Taylor and Ridge to have his soft porn Bridge scenes. Steffy is going to be so much better off without this jackass. 'SOMEHOW' ended up married??? Nobody drug him to an altar. Nobody forced him to give the ring to Steffy. Nobody drugged him into asking Steffy to marry him just like nobody forced him to keep kissing Steffy while engaged to Hope, or ogle her half-naked pictures while Hope was in the next room. Liam is a jerk, a mini-Ridge.

** OMG OMG OMG!!!! We got to see….to see…..I'm still crying here…to see TAYLOR!!! And she had more than one line!!!!! Granted, Ridge was still the one controlling the conversations and asking all the questions, but it was nice to finally see the concern and care of a mother, a real mother, for her daughter and not the insecure, bitter nastiness of a woman hell bent on making sure her teenaged virgin daughter chases a married man just to beat another woman. February sweeps say that Taylor and Thorne come back to our screens even if only for a few episodes but that the lovely doctor may not be won over just yet. Geesh, these were the same sweep spoilers for November. What, another attempt by the writers to pull in disgruntled Taylor fans who are sick of the I Love Hope show???

** Hope: Are you kidding me? Why would I do anything for you after all the things that you have done to me? You forced me to watch Liam marry Steffy. You kept me from your son because he just had to be by his sick wife's side. You have done nothing but cause me pain, and you never gave it a second thought." Know why I put this in the column??? Because it STILL makes me sick and I am positive that the vast majority of viewers are still cleaning vomit off of their coffee tables from listening to some of the crap coming out of this arrogant teenager's mouth. Hold up a damned minute….She's claiming BILL did all this just to hurt her??? GMAFB. Yeah, Hope, Bill manipulated the entire chain of events JUST to piss you off. He conned Liam into giving away your ring, he talked Liam into having sex with Steffy that very night, he forced Liam to recite those vows at the top of the mountain and he's tucked Liam into bed every single night forcing him to lie there next to Steffy making love to her over and over and admitting to loving her. Yeah, HOPE, Mean old Dollah Bill just HATES you, he's done all this just to keep you away from Liam. You had every right to be there stroking your head on Liam's shoulders on Steffy's hospital bed, didn't you, and mean old Bill decided marriage vows were sacred and kept Liam from dumping his SICK WIFE for you.  Again, GMAFB, I absolutely detest Hope.

** Why in the hell is Bill now offering to give this trash-lette anything she wants? PUBLICITY, that's why. He doesn't want this possibly causing trouble at Spencer Publications. Bill is, after all, one of the best CEO's in the business. I don't buy for a minute he's sympathetic to Hope, he's doing damage control.

There were SO many scenes last week that made me want to thrash Hope, throw trash at Brooke and throw up on Katie, I could do another ten pages on my column this week, but what good would it do? This is typical Logan Gang-banger behavior. Me, Me, Me, screw the other woman, walk on her face and treat her like dirt while being sugary sweet and pretending to be sympathetic to the guys. Good grief, PLEASE let this reunion stick, PLEASE put Hope and Liam back together again, give them their little wedding, and get that waffling idiot out of Steffy's life. I'm sure hoping we don't have the pitter patter of tiny Spencer feet running around anytime soon, that would be a tragedy. I got no interest in watching Hope and Liam's wedding interrupted by Steffy pulling a Brooke and trying to rush in to stop the wedding rubbing her belly and crying about how Liam has a son on the way, he can't leave her!!!!!

Here's a few funnies for you, maybe we can all have a few laughs and get the raunchy taste of the "I LOVE HOPE" week out of our system.

Time for the "PMSing…Posting My Sayso!" monthly part of the column where I turn it over to a reader to bitch, snitch, rant, rave, praise, pee on and otherwise have their sayso about the week's activities. Drop me a line and tell me why you want to have your sayso on the column where it can be read in over 27 countries, by thousands and thousands of fellow Bold lovers (OR haters, lol) and by a few people who could actually take some of what you say and run with it, turning it into actual happenings.
