In this week’s B&B, Brooke, Bill, and Ridge travel to
Dubai and Abu Dhabi!
It feels like we’ve been waiting forever to watch these
scenes air, and so far it has well been worth the wait. The aerial shots that
were shown on the show were absolutely amazing and beautiful. I enjoyed the
part where Brooke and Bill take a helicopter tour of Dubai to see the various sites
and attractions Dubai has to offer. We briefly saw the tallest building in
Dubai, which Bill jokingly said was one of his gifts to Brooke, a man-made island
in the shape of a palm tree, and various other architecturally beautiful
buildings throughout. It was nice to also include a few brief facts about
Dubai, such as how almost everything in Dubai is man-made. It was short and
sweet – just enough to give us a bit of taste and insight and not too long to
bore us or lose interest. Just watching the scenes that were filmed in Dubai
and Abu Dhabi was enough to make us wish we could visit!
Bill plans a surprise wedding for Brooke and whisks her away
to Abu Dhabi to get married. Ridge is very upset that Brooke actually goes
ahead with marrying Bill (see Ridge and Bill Fight Over Brooke ). He
wants to stop Brooke from making a huge mistake but doesn’t know how to
convince her- but Quinn does…
Leave it to crazy Quinn to always have tricks up her sleeve (after all Quinn Fuller is Certifiably Crazy). She doesn’t want Brooke and Bill to get
married just as much as Ridge does. She is always manipulating situations and people’s
emotions in order to get what she wants. Quinn “accidently” sends Ridge a selfie of her
and Bill, taken shortly after they had slept together, fully knowing this will
engage Ridge and give him the ammunition he needs to stop the wedding. After a
few words with Quinn, he races off on the Forrester jet to Abu Dhabi to stop
the wedding, hoping that he’s not too late.
These scenes with Thorsten Kaye as Ridge running around Abu
Dhabi trying to find Brooke are one of my favorites. I loved when he was on the
speed boat in the water searching for Brooke and also when he was running
throughout Abu Dhabi. It kind of gave me a soapy James Bond/007 feel, Ridge
Forrester style! And I loved every minute of it!
The episode ends in a cliffhanger when Ridge finally finds
Brooke and Bill while they are in the middle of exchanging their vows and he yells
“Logan!” Brooke and Bill turn around and look shocked to see Ridge there. By
the way, where was Justin Barber throughout all of this? Bill brought Justin
along on purpose, to be on the lookout for any interferences or disruptions. If
he was doing his job he would have known Ridge was on his way or already there!
Maybe Justin was jet lagged and still in LA time, and therefore was sleeping on
the job? He better have a good excuse because Bill is going to be pissed.
In traditional soap fashion, we knew Ridge was going to find
Brooke and Bill, the writing was on the wall; Bill saw Brooke the day of the
wedding. Bill, how many weddings have you had and been to? You should know by
now that it is always bad luck to see the bride before the wedding!
What did you think of this week’s episodes that
were filmed in Dubai and Abu Dhabi? Do you think Ridge will be able to stop the
wedding and convince Brooke that Bill is not the man she thinks he is? What do
you think Brooke’s reaction will be when Ridge shows her the photo of Bill and
Quinn?
