The ups and downs of their on-again, off-again marriage parallel the stormy lives of all their children, who have shared lovers and spouses with one another and even with their own father. Ridge Forrester is the arrogant oldest son (whose paternity will eventually be called into question); Thorne, the oft-neglected younger son; Kristen, the sweet but sexually-frigid older daughter; Felicia, the wild child. At the center of many of these storms is the Logan family. Beth Logan, the matriarch, has always carried a torch for Eric.

User Reviews

Blame the writers for B&B

So far I've been watching this for the drama. Rena Sofer's character has been alienating viewers like me. She thinks that she's the center of everything. The dark version of Stephanie. It's like you enter in Quinn's crazy and wacky world. Quinn is overacting and exaggerating in the show. Most of all she's the annoying character. Sheila and Quinn are a mixture of chaos. Sheila was always #1 dangerous. Quinn is the advanced version of Sheila. Two women with the same personality. The writers keep screwing up with the story lines. What I've seen is that the popularity in here is so low but the fans are still watching it. The problem is always the B&B writers.
