JANUARY 2010
January 4 to 8, 2010
Katie grilled Brooke about the "Dare" line, and Brooke finally confessed that it was designed as a failure. Katie and Bill met with Eric, Ridge, Brooke, Steffy, and Donna, and Bill laid into them for trying to embarrass Katie and sabotage the company. The defiant Forresters had hoped that a failed line would prompt the Spencer Publications' board to force Bill to sell the company. Bill reminded the Forresters that he controlled a lot of media and the Spencer Publications board. He told them that he saved their butts by not allowing them to embarrass themselves and Katie with the "Dare" line. He called the Logans "jealous tramps." Bill and Katie later fought over Katie's loyalty to her family. Katie went to Brooke's place. Steffy visited Bill, who was drinking liquor straight from the bottle. Bill told her to leave, but she prattled on about how wrong Katie was to leave him after a fight. She seductively told him that she wouldn't have left him. The storm knocked out the power at Bill's, and Bill and Steffy shared a passionate kiss before Steffy ran out the door. Lieutenant Baker promised to investigate Sandy's case, even though DNA testing revealed that her attacker had no record and was not in any database. Sandy and Nick grew closer as she thanked him for helping her.
January 11 to 15, 2010
Katie and Bill made up after she had walked out on him, but he didn't tell her about Steffy's visit, and things were still tense between them. Steffy told Thomas about her latest kissing bout with Bill, and he suggested that she use Bill to return Forrester Creations to the Forrester family's control. A grown-up Hope joined the staff at Forrester as a high-school intern, and Steffy whined to Ridge that it was unfair that Steffy had to share Ridge with Hope at work. Taylor agreed, which resulted in an all-out argument, with Brooke and Hope battling Steffy and Taylor. Ridge was in the middle. After the "Dare" campaign was shelved, Steffy crafted an "Afterparty" ad campaign and introduced Graham Darros, the internationally famous photographer, for the photography job. However, she had some competition. Katie helped Hope introduce a "Hope of the Future" campaign, with Hope as its spokesperson/model -- a job that Steffy had previously turned down. Ridge fumed when he heard that the Logans had chosen Hope's campaign over Steffy's. Ridge told Brooke, "It's over," while Taylor watched. Sandy told Whip that her rape had occurred after a party they attended together. Whip asked who had been at the party after he left, and Sandy remembered Graham Darros, a photographer. Nick continued to keep Sandy's rape a secret from Bridget.
January 18 to 22, 2010
Katie and Steffy presented their ad campaigns to Bill, and Bill decided on "Hope for the Future." Steffy was angry. She privately met with Bill and promised profits if he gave her control of the company and ousted the Logans. Bill admitted to Justin that he couldn't get his kiss with Steffy off his mind. Katie told Donna that she wanted Steffy out of the company because she was interfering in Katie's marriage. Ridge was furious that the Logans chose Hope for the ad campaign, and discarded Steffy's ideas. Stephanie warned Brooke that choosing her family and Hope's campaign over Ridge would be detrimental to her marriage. Stephanie reminded Brooke that when she had chosen Rick over Ridge, it was disastrous. Brooke and Ridge argued and made up, but Brooke invited her sisters to dinner, and Ridge refused to attend. Instead, he went to Taylor's where he told Taylor that he had made a mistake in returning to Brooke, and they shared a kiss. Photographer Graham Darros shot photos of Hope and reviewed them with Steffy and Hope at Insomnia. Steffy and Hope met Oliver Jones, a DJ and Sandy's brother at Insomnia. He told them how beautiful they were, and asked them to invite all their friends to Insomnia.
January 25 to 29, 2010
Taylor fantasized about Ridge, but later forgot about him while she was in Whip's arms. Hope and Steffy argued about Hope calling Ridge her father, but Steffy relented that Ridge was Hope's dad in every way but DNA. Nick was suspicious that Graham might have raped Sandy. Nick visited Graham and managed to get Graham's DNA on a piece of gum. He and Sandy took it to the police. Ridge continued to whine about Bill and Katie running Forrester. Stephanie, Taylor, Ridge, and Brooke worried that if Hope became famous, the media would crucify her because Hope was Deacon's daughter. Deacon was married to Bridget at the time Hope was conceived. Graham took photos of Hope at his loft and offered her wine so she could relax. Hope proudly took the photos to Ridge and Brooke, but Hope overheard Brooke talking about how ashamed she was when she was pregnant with Hope, who crumbled in tears. Hope confronted Ridge and Brooke and then called Graham and asked to crash at his apartment. Graham set up a party after he received Hope's call. Hope was driving to Graham's but swerved and screamed while she was arguing with Ridge and Brooke on the phone.

Graham drugged Hope during his party, and she tried to leave, but he insisted that she was a party girl and needed to stay at his place. He laid her on his bed and started to remove her clothes, but Nick and Sandy interrupted him after they discovered that Graham was the man who had raped Sandy five years earlier. Graham was arrested, but he had knocked Sandy down, and she experienced cramping. At the hospital, Bridget learned about Sandy's true identity as Agnes. Bridget freaked out on Agnes and Nick. Later, Brooke overheard Agnes tell Whip that Agnes was in love with Nick. Brooke warned Agnes to back away from Nick. Hope finally awakened at the hospital, and Ridge and Brooke tried to convince her that they never meant to hurt her when she overheard that Deacon was her father and that she was conceived when Brooke slept with Deacon, who was still married to Bridget. Hope was cold to her parents, but warmed up to Oliver when he visited. Steffy apologized to Hope for allowing Graham to take her photos at his apartment, but Hope said that she didn't blame Steffy.
February 8 to 12, 2010
Ridge freaked out after seeing "Forrester Creations, a division of Spencer Publications" a few too many times. Steffy vowed to get the company back into Forrester hands. Steffy visited Bill, and she teased that she would make him forget out all about Katie if he spent a few hours with her. Donna tattled that she saw Bill and Steffy together, and Katie ordered Bill to meet her at home where she flipped out on him for letting Steffy come on to him. Bill and Katie argued, and Katie walked out again. Steffy was eavesdropping outside the house, and quickly moved indoors to seduce Bill. Steffy and Bill were in the bedroom when Katie returned home. Sandy told Nick that she loved him, but she said that she would never interfere in his marriage to Bridget. When Bridget found out Sandy was in love with her husband, she reminded the surrogate that she was nothing more than an incubator for Nick and Bridget's baby. Whip cooked a romantic dinner for Taylor, and kisses led to hot romance and lovemaking. Brooke hinted to Ridge that Bill and Katie's marriage was hitting a rough patch.
February 15 to 19, 2010
Steffy escaped unseen from Bill's bedroom, but she snatched Katie's engagement ring before she left. Bill and Katie made up, and Katie noticed her ring was missing. Steffy succeeded in blackmailing Bill to return the company to the Forresters in exchange for Katie's ring. Steffy duped Bill into signing a contract that she called the Ridge Eric Sustainable Trust, but she secretly had him sign a contract that included Ridge, Eric, Stephanie, and Taylor as the owners and management team. Steffy refused to allow Bill time to review the contract with a lawyer. Stephanie and Taylor gloated that they were among the new owners, and Brooke and Donna were shocked. Katie wondered why Bill had made a decision to sell without consulting her. Bridget continued to berate Agnes and worried that Agnes wasn't taking care of herself. Taylor told Ridge about her romance with Whip.
February 22 to 26, 2010
When Bill discovered that Ridge, Eric, Stephanie, and Taylor had become the owners of Forrester, he was angry that he had been duped into the contract and vowed revenge. Taylor spent the night with Whip and she shared that she wasn't sure that she should liquidate all her assets and invest in a new career. After some soul-searching and an offer from Brooke to buy her out, Taylor decided that she wanted to go into debt and become a partner in ownership of Forrester Creations. That didn't sit well with Brooke, who wouldn't take no for an answer on her buyout offer. Taylor and Brooke argued and wound up in a physical battle in the fountain outside the Forrester building. In some tender scenes, Eric convinced Stephanie to return to Forrester as a partner, and he told her that he still loved her. Stephanie and Pam departed Jackie M after telling the Jackie M gang that they had been like family, but Stephanie felt she had to return to the company she had built with Eric.

March 1 to 5, 2010
Taylor decided to become a 25 percent owner of Forrester Creations. Steffy pressured Ridge to dump the "Hope for the Future" campaign, but Brooke and Hope argued to keep it. After Aggie lost the baby, Nick told Bridget that he didn't think they were meant to have a baby together. Bridget angrily left Nick, and she went to Jackie M, where she found Owen. Bridget told Owen that she couldn't stay married to Nick anymore. Owen sympathetically listened to Bridget, who appeared to be in the middle of an emotional breakdown. Owen took Bridget to his friend's beach house, and they comforted each other in their common failed wishes to have a baby. Bridget lit dozens of candles and asked Owen to pray with her. Comfort got of control, and Owen and Bridget had sex and quickly regretted that they got carried away. Bridget planned to tell Nick what she had done, but she decided to keep quiet. Owen felt guilty when he returned home to Jackie. Oliver, who was staying at the beach house, left when he saw all the candles lit. He was testing out his new pocket projector gadget when he shot video of the house. Later, he tried to view the video while he was having coffee with Hope. After Hope left, Oliver got his new gadget to work, and he realized that he had recorded Bridget and Owen making love in the beach house.
March 8 to 12, 2010
Taylor, Stephanie, Eric, and Ridge met about the company's new direction with Brooke chiming in her own opinion. The crew agreed that the "Hope for the Future" campaign would work for the youth line, but not as the entire image campaign for Forrester. Stephanie suggested that the company dump the "Brooke's Bedroom" line, but Brooke reminded everyone that it made money. Bridget returned to Nick, and they went on a romantic getaway to Mexico. Bridget called Owen and shared that she would not tell Nick about their tryst. Oliver realized that he had videotaped Owen and Bridget making love. Steffy got a peek at the video and managed to get a copy. At Taylor's pool, Oliver begged Steffy not to use the video against Bridget and Owen.

Bridget and Owen shared some awkward moments together trying to justify their sexual encounter. Nick walked in while they were talking, and Bridget covered by saying she was just getting emotional about losing the baby. Bridget fired Aggie at Jackie M, but Aggie later found out about the video Oliver had made of Owen and Bridget making love by accidentally seeing it at Oliver's house. Aggie returned to Jackie M to confront Nick and Bridget about Bridget's tryst with Owen. Steffy plotted to use the video of Bridget and Owen to get Brooke out of Forrester. Steffy toyed with Oliver and offered him a job at Forrester if he missed a date with Hope. Oliver refused and deleted the video from Steffy's computer when she wasn't looking.

Taylor accepted and wanted to get married the following week. Bill and Katie enjoyed Katie's unemployment by being deeply involved in romance. Bill looked forward to Katie becoming more involved in Spencer's numerous publications. Donna wanted Eric to fire Pam after all she had done to Donna. Stephanie stuck up for Pam. Eric told Donna that he was making decisions at Forrester, and Pam would remain an employee. Eric shocked Donna when he expressed his displeasure with her past behavior at Forrester after he had been ousted as CEO. He admonished Donna for her lack of loyalty and brushed off her concern about Pam's treatment of her. A hurt Donna went to visit Katie, but found Bill instead. Donna worried that her marriage was in jeopardy. Bill disagreed, but Donna had good reason to be concerned. After Eric's argument with Donna, he kissed Stephanie, and told her that he never should have let her go.
March 29 to April 2, 2010
Stephanie helped plan Taylor's wedding. At the same time, she frequently quizzed Taylor about her feelings for Ridge. On her wedding day, Taylor was remembering past romantic moments with Ridge. When it came down to vow time, Ridge dramatically interrupted the ceremony and hogged the spotlight when he made a syrupy speech about how happy he was for Taylor and Whip. The wedding proceeded with vows and a singer performing a lovely song Whip had written for Taylor. Steffy flirted shamelessly with Oliver at the reception. Later, Steffy childishly dumped her mother's wedding cake all over Hope. Oliver kissed Hope and they shared a laugh.

April 5 to 9, 2010
Bridget discovered that she had missed taking a few of her birth control pills, and when she visited her doctor, she also learned that her consumption of St. John's Wort could render her birth control pills ineffective. Bridget panicked when her period was late. She used a home pregnancy test, and Owen waited with her for the results. They both worried that he could be the father. When Bridget got the results, she looked absolutely mortified, but didn't say anything, which led Owen to beg for the news. Whip started a new campaign with Owen as a cabana boy to Jackie's cougar. During the photo shoot, Owen looked unhappy to be a boy-toy yet again. Stephanie moved into Eric's guesthouse and became pretty chummy with Eric. Brooke warned Stephanie not to interfere in Donna's marriage, and Stephanie found the warnings laughable. Donna worried about her marriage, and with good reason. Stephanie, Ridge, Rick, Thorne, Pam, and Steffy crafted a moving video tribute to Eric as a surprise. Brooke and Donna were in the audience, but knew nothing about the tribute that included many photos and videos of Eric and Stephanie. The narration was Stephanie's voice. At the end, Stephanie and Eric were on stage and the family celebrated, but Brooke and Donna somewhat distanced from the family. After the tribute, Stephanie and Eric were alone in the showroom and declared their love for each other. They kissed and Pam sneaked photos.
April 12 to 16, 2010
Bridget took a pregnancy test while she and Owen waited for the results. She found out she was pregnant, and they were worried because it could be Nick's baby or Owen's. Since Bridget had never carried a baby to term, she worried about the pregnancy. Bridget wanted to tell Nick about her night with Owen, but she blurted out that she was pregnant and nixed the idea of telling him about Owen. Bridget and Owen discussed keeping their secret. Donna's parents, Stephen and Beth, returned to Los Angeles with bad news that Beth's condition had deteriorated. They moved into the mansion with Eric and Donna, and Beth needed constant attention. Across the courtyard, Stephen and Beth's move didn't sit well with Stephanie, who demanded that Donna and her parents move out. Beth started obsessing about her hatred for Stephanie, and the two had a few verbal jousts. Eric realized he couldn't have the Logans and Stephanie living so close to one another. Eric dashed Stephanie's reconciliation plans when he told her that she had to move out. Stephanie was very bitter. Bill and Katie discussed moving Beth and Stephen into their home. Beth sneaked away from her family and argued with Stephanie in the guesthouse and then by the pool. Stephanie threw Beth's lace handkerchief with pictures of her children into the water. Beth, who was terrified of water and had forgotten how to swim, jumped in after it and began to drown. Donna went to the pool and screamed.

Stephanie and Eric tried to persuade everyone that it had been a tragic accident. Eric's support of Stephanie angered Donna, and she spent the night at Bill and Katie's home. While Donna was gone from Eric's house, Stephanie and Eric reminisced, and Eric appeared to be smitten with his ex-wife again. Donna returned and found that Eric would not force Stephanie to move from the guesthouse. Eric told Donna that he loved her, but she was furious that he still wanted his ex-wife living on the grounds. Bill told Donna that she was crazy to put up with Eric and his antics with Stephanie, but Bill was devising a plan to use Donna's situation with Eric to take over at Forrester Creations.

After the funeral service for Beth, Stephanie tried to be thoughtful by delivering food to the family, but she wound up arguing with Donna. Eric and Donna tried to patch up their marriage, but Donna said she couldn't tolerate Stephanie's constant interference, and needed more time to return to Eric. In an emotional plea, Eric told Donna that he would wait for her. Bill encouraged Donna to divorce Eric and ask for half of everything Eric owned - especially his shares in Forrester. Bill prepared a document to that effect that Donna left at Eric's house. Eric called Bill, and told him his mission to regain control of Forrester through Donna wouldn't work, and Eric knew that Donna would never give in to Bill. Stephen and Bill bonded over their hatred of the Forrester family and vowed to make the Forresters pay for all that they had done to the Logan family over the years.

Jackie insisted that it was best for everyone involved, and she reminded Bridget that she might never carry the baby to full term. With Bill's help, Donna made demands on Eric to save their marriage. Donna wanted to move out of the Forrester house because she felt that it was always home to Stephanie, and Donna's mother had died there. Donna also wanted Stephanie to be held accountable for Beth's death and she wanted Eric to stop working with Stephanie. Eric refused to agree to Donna's demands. Donna removed her wedding and engagement rings, but she told Eric that she would always love him.

Hope held a press conference to introduce the new "Hope for the Future" line, but Steffy and Pam did everything that they could to humiliate Hope. Pam disconnected the teleprompter that held Hope's speech and rigged the neon sign behind Hope to read "Ho Logan." Hope froze when everything went wrong but recovered thanks to Oliver's eye contact. Hope's introduction was a smashing success. When accusations came around to Steffy and Pam, Steffy whined that it was all because Hope had stolen her dad and taken the spotlight that her dead twin sister, Phoebe, would have had. Ridge fired Steffy from Hope's campaign, and noted that she needed help. Taylor seemed to be blind to the fact that Steffy had a variety of issues. Steffy didn't stop trying to hurt Hope and get her out of Forrester. Steffy showed up at Oliver's house wearing black lace. Steffy straddled Oliver and begged him to make love to her. Oliver refused.

Stephen had trouble dealing with Beth's death, and fell into a deep depression. Brooke urged him to meet her for lunch, but he stepped in front of a car when he went to visit her. At Jackie M, Bridget didn't feel up to traveling to New York with Nick for a meeting, so Aggie happily took her place. Jackie and Bridget continually yakked about keeping the paternity of Bridget's baby a secret, but Bridget cracked and told Owen that he was her baby's father. Owen was thrilled and surprised when Bridget informed him that Jackie knew all about their tryst and the baby's paternity. Jackie didn't know that Bridget told Owen that he was the father.

Stephen, depressed over Beth's death, came up with a plan to exact revenge on the Forresters by romancing Pam. In the process of getting to know Pam, Stephen discovered that she had spent her entire life taking care of her mother while Stephanie had lived a life of luxury.

Steffy told Marcus she had a plan, but Marcus begged her to return the necklace. At the party, guests all wore masks. Hope and Brooke wore the same dress and Oliver and Ridge were supposedly wearing the same jacket, unbeknownst to anyone. The evening got out of hand with mistaken identities.

Stephen showed up at Big Bear with a gun, and he told Pam to shoot Stephanie. Pam couldn't do it, and Stephanie took the gun. Stephanie shot Stephen in the shoulder and she said it felt good. Then, Stephanie moved in to shoot him again. "Say hello to Beth for me," Stephanie said.

Steffy dished to Brooke and Oliver that she planned to tell Ridge and Stephanie all about their mistaken-identity sexual encounter. Brooke and Oliver begged Steffy to keep silent, but Steffy relished the idea of outing Brooke. Oliver wondered how Steffy could hurt her father and Hope with the news, but Steffy said that it was time everyone knew exactly what Brooke was like. Steffy blamed Brooke for taking her father away from her family. Pam visited Stephen in prison, and Stephen tried to persuade her that he had deep feelings for her. Stephen said he had been crazy with grief when he tried to persuade her to shoot Stephanie. Pam wanted to believe that Stephen was sincere, but she was afraid to follow her heart.

Hope announced that she would start packing, but wanted Oliver to go with her and visit as often as he could. To comply with the last part of Steffy's demands, Oliver promised to date Steffy. Oliver told Brooke that Steffy had promised to let him off the hook after a couple months. Oliver insisted that he loved only Hope and planned to visit her in Boston.

Afterwards, Jackie visited Nick and begged him to reconsider divorcing Bridget, but Nick angrily rejected the idea.

Jackie was furious with Nick for even suggesting such a thing, but Nick smugly said that it would happen. Jackie and Owen invited Bridget to live in Whip's old apartment to be close to them.

December 6 to 10, 2010
Ridge and Thomas succeeded in getting Taylor to back off in her obsession that Thomas might succumb to a Brooke seduction, but it was short-lived.

Taylor freaked out. Taylor fantasized about sex with Ridge and called Whip by Ridge's name during a lovemaking session. Taylor told Ridge about her mistake, and Ridge laughed. Whip overheard the conversation and angrily confronted Taylor, who tried to shift blame to her obsession over the "Taboo" line. Whip confronted Ridge about leading Taylor on, but Ridge arrogantly told Whip that he was only comforting Taylor. Whip discovered the photos from the "Taboo" shoot, and plotted revenge. Bill decided to announce that Liam was his son in grand style. Bill encouraged Liam to break ties with Hope because Liam would be traveling and had no time to get tied down.

Ridge warned Thomas and Brooke that the scandals had to stop. Bill hosted a mega-party to introduce Liam to the world as his son, the man who would take Spencer Publications to the next level.

Liam had hit his head and remembered nothing of being with Amber or any of the time after his party. Liam felt guilty and ashamed, and he told Amber that he would tell Hope what had happened. Stephanie purchased Insomnia and put Dayzee in charge of the coffeehouse that she renamed Dayzee's. The entire Forrester family decorated Dayzee's for Christmas and hosted a holiday dinner there for all Dayzee's friends from the mission.

The photo that Whip had taken of half-naked Brooke and Thomas continued to circulate on the Internet. Ridge suspected that Whip had taken the photo to embarrass Ridge and his family.
