"I really hope this sticks! Not that I want to see the Brooker, getting it on with anyone, totally sick of watching that but I'm just sick of seeing the back and forth 🙄 From day 1 Ridge was better off with Taylor! Couldn't give a rats arse what all you Hogan lovers think 👍 So sick of her made up entitlement, when it comes to Forrester!"
