You see Carter's attached note? >> Ridge: Uh, yeah.
These are the latest original numbers, so I saw all that.

saying something, because Carter's always looking for the
bright side in everything. >> Ridge: That's Carter for you.

giving these guys another chance, but I'm just making sure
you're not going soft on me. >> Steffy: I am not going soft

I share it, and I respect it. We're both very protective
parents. >> Taylor: Being protective
doesn't mean making excuses for behavior we both know is wrong.
>> Brooke: Okay, well, that's not what I'm doing.
I told Hope numerous times how I felt about what she did, and,
yes, she was out of line. >> Taylor: Out of line? Out of
line makes it sound like it was less harmful than it was.
Hope came on to Steffy's husband.
>> Brooke: Well...[sighs] that really wasn't her
intention. And I believe her, and you
should too. >> Taylor: I want to.
I mean, Hope...Hope has many wonderful qualities.
I'm not condemning her, or the Logans, for that matter.
There's too much conflict in the world already.

friends. We need to get past this.
We need to have peace in our lives, Taylor.
>> Taylor: Exactly. Exactly. We do. We all need to come
together, all of us, you and me, but especially our daughters.
And in order for that to happen, Hope has to understand that she
can't keep going after Steffy's husband.
>> Brooke: Okay. Well, I think she understands that.
She knows what she did was wrong, and I keep telling her
Finn is a married man. He has children.
He is off limits! Yes, I know.
I should have listened to my own advice a long time ago.
But what I really want is for Hope to avoid making the
same mistakes that I made. >> Taylor: So can we agree to
not let our competitive natures go to the next generation?
>> Brooke: Yes. Although I think it already has.
>> Taylor: Maybe. That's why I'm urging you,
from one mother to another-- keep advising Hope.
She deserves love and happiness, but from my perspective, she's
been a little lost and confused. For a while now.
First with Thomas, Steffy's brother, now Finn, Steffy's
husband, and one could say it's an obsession.
>> Brooke: [laughs] I don't think I would call it an
obsession. I think I'd call it a little
crush. >> Taylor: A crush?
