     This has got to be relatively brief.  I'll do it as I
remember it.

     Tuesday on "The Bold and the Beautiful"

     Eric is doing designs.  Brooke, now quite pregnant,
comes in to say "Hi!"  She can stay at the condo, Eric says.
Fine, but if it cramps your style, I can move out, Brooke
says.  I like having our boy around.  Brooke looks at the
design and learns Ridge is using raw silk.  Hmmm... she
thinks.  As she leaves, Eric says to tell Ridge to come see
him.  She says "I will if I see him, but I'm not going to go
LOOKING for him"  (good idea, see below).  Hmmm... Eric
thinks.  (Brooke is a very pretty pregnant woman, BTW).

     Sheila is stressing out over how Stephanie will react
("ballistic") when she learns Brooke is back after Sheila
told Steph she was on the plane.  She calls, but Steph is
out of the office.  More mental stress.

     Ridge comes down to the lab and meets the textile
engineer Steph invited over, thinking about replacing
Brooke.  Ridge says "Isn't this a little premature?"
Stephanie tells him to chill, get some exercise, take a
steam, but meanwhile Brooke is outta here, and we might as
well think about her replacement.

     Eric comes to see Sheila, hiding a finger and asking
for a sew job.  Sheila doesn't laugh.  They have a heart-to-
heart, Eric asks if Sheila still wants to see him, Sheila
thinks that with Brooke back he'd rather try to put the
marriage back together -- they hug about a hundred times.
Eric asks point-blank if Sheila wants to keep seeing him.
She says "If that's what you want."   He pushes, she says
yes.  Good, even though Brooke is in the condo, I want to
see you too.  He kisses her tenderly on the forehead.
     I was impressed.  Earlier, Sheila was evil, thinking
"Brooke needs to be TAKEN CARE OF."  She was very tender and
vulnerable in this scene with Eric.

     Brooke, in the lab, thinks back to her first kiss with
Ridge after progress on wrinkle-free (I think this was the
real old show -- they both looked very young, KKL
especially).  This is where it started.  She realizes that
she might be able to win him back through her work.  The
assistant comes in and Brooke tells her they're going to
push the silk project hard, so it's ready for Ridge and the
holiday showing.

     Speaking of hard, tender, and vulnerable...

     Ridge comes into the steambath, in a towel.  Sits down,
and a foot comes over and caresses him.  He speaks to the
foot, wondering if it has a pair of arms, eyes and other
attachments attached.  It certainly does, she says, it
appears to be Taylor but in the steam he's not sure.  After
some kisses, she drops the towel (tame) and he is sure.
After some more kisses, Taylor says that she's not certain
he's her husband.  Ridge asks if she needs to see more to be
sure.  She does.  So you should see more.  He stands up and
slowly doffs the towel.  Taylor's eyes go up and down his
torso, and she says "Oh, it is definitely you."  She stands
up and they kiss a lot.  (She locked the steam room door
earlier).
     This scene was funny, partly because you could tell
Moss and Tylo could barely keep a straight face.  I wonder
what Moss had on under the towel?
