Goofs
The interior of the Forrester mansion does not match the exterior of the house it was based on (creators William J. Bell and Lee Phillip Bell's); the front entrance is the same however from the outside you can see this part of the house is single-story only, whereas inside are high vaulted ceilings and a staircase to the right of the front doors leading to a second floor. The house also has large bay windows on either side of the entrance but these are not present in the interior set.

Quotes
Stephanie: You think this is all my fault? You have brought this on yourself.
Brooke: All I ever did, Stephanie, was to love Ridge.
Stephanie: And his father, and his brother, and your son-in-law. Is it any wonder Bridget is confused? I mean, is it any wonder your daughter would confuse natural feelings of respect and affection for romance? You have blurred the lines of socially-acceptable behaviour. And you stand here and you tell me you're proud. What are you proud of? Having your son-in-law's baby? I know what you're proud of. Chasing after a man whose wife's body is barely cold in the ground.

Drivel

I can't believe how bad this is. I've only been tuning in about twice a week for about four months. I find the writing predictable and the characters annoying. It's almost as if someone decided to try to come up with the worst soap ever. Well, they succeeded. Wait - I think the ill - fated Passions might have been a tie, but that at least was funny. This is like soap opera 101, maybe geared to the junior high crowd. The men are all controlling and the women are like characters from the 1950s.

I'm sad to see Jacob Young here. I was a big fan of All My Children, we all know what's happening with that. AMC was everything that this is not; it had great writing, it was classy and the actors made the characters come alive.

Also I'm surprised that Bell also produces Young and the Restless, which is far superior to this drivel.
