Message: <blockquote data-quote="Daniel Avery" data-source="post: 306323" data-attributes="member: 27">I've always assumed that the reason so much emphasis was placed on Hope/Liam was because the writers realized they had pretty much played Brooke/Ridge into the ground, that they needed to create a "next generation" tortured coupling, then transition Ridge and Brooke into the Eric/Stephanie area.  Ronn Moss seemed especially put out by this idea, since he "wasn't ready for the rocking chair just yet".Y&R did something similar when they transitioned Victor/Nikki out of the endless break-up/make-up mode, christening Nick and Sharon as their successors.</blockquote>
