THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Thomas Takes Baby Douglas After Finally Learning He's The Baby Daddy!

Oh, what a tangled web weave on CBS’ The Bold and the Beautiful, and as all the soaps prepare to deliver some high stakes, emotional, and compelling drama during the important May Sweeps ratings period, B&B has a big reveal that has major consequences.

Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Caroline’s (Linsey Godfrey) secret that Thomas is the biological father of baby Douglas, and that the couple have been covering it up for months, finally comes back to bite them!

The path to the unraveling was quite intriguing: a doctor who has some key info who dies after being hit by an an upcoming truck, which Ridge denies he had any part of.  Katie (Heather Tom) who puts the pieces together from a conversation with Caroline, and overhearing Dr. Wolin and Ridge in a confrontation, and Ridge finally telling Thomas the truth!  On Friday’s episode, Thomas realized he is indeed Douglas’ father.  This sets the stage for a major fallout this week.

In the latest promo from the CBS Daytime drama, Thomas has for all intent and purpose kidnapped Douglas!  Will he go on the run with his son?  Will he fight for custody?  Will he eventually just return the baby to Ridge and Caroline, and not claim any rights to the young boy?  So much at stake.

On-Air On-Soaps spoke with Pierson Fode’ on the red carpet at the 43rd Annual Daytime Emmys, where we suggested a week ago that Thomas go on the run and take the baby!  Little did we know that our guess would come true!

Watch the B&B game-changer promo which also features the Liam/Steffy/Wyatt triangle and then the Thomas baby daddy drama, followed by our interview with Pierson.  Then weigh-in:  What do you hope will be Thomas’ next move now that the truth is out?

Thomas is trash who violated Caroline. Douglas belongs with Caroline & Ridge.

Answer me one question where is Mom Taylor??? Not there for Steffys wedding not there for this reveal you know Mom’s are needed if just for a short story arc. For all the Mom’s out there Happy Mothers Day we are treated like trash on the soaps but not in reality we are needed and we are wanted I talked every day to my daughter when she was in the womb and yes they hear you!!!!!!

Thomas is such an ICKY IDIOT!!!!! Moron.

THOMAS…START DRIVING AND DO NOT COME BACK….ANOTHER HORRIBLE STORY LINE….

This show is clicking on all cylinders. I have only been watcjhing for three months, but it is great day in and day out. The only problem is that I wish it was an hour. I like Thomas with Caroline. Since I do not know a lot of the back story, I would like to see Ridge and Brooke give it one more shot.

Since Ridge was recast with Thorsten, Ridge hasn’t really been with Brooke. They tried having them together when Ridge first returned to the show, but it wasn’t the same as when Ronn Moss played Ridge. I think that’s why Ridge and Brooke haven’t reunited–change in actor playing the character.

I don’t think the road to the reveal was intriguing. I think Katie was a nosy busy body. What’s next? Cooking lemon bars laced with gin?

I don’t like Thomas. What he did to Caroline was wrong. She needs to recognize that too. Thomas is upset, sure, but he needs to understand he crossed the line and he should let Ridge and Caroline raise Douglas and be glad he was arrested for rape.

That said, I do like B&B and it’s been really good lately!!!!

Agree Katie has been a nosy busybody. And a Thomas has always bothered me as he seems to creep around all of the time from Caroline, originally, to always being around the baby.

I think Thomas was showing TOO much interest in the child. Douglas is Steffy’s half-brother too, but she’s not muscling in like Thomas. And I don’t buy this ‘I felt a special connection’ thing Thomas was saying. You felt a connection because you were told he’s your half-brother and you have the hots for his mother.

B&B for me is getting more and more frustrating to watch. They seem to rehash stories over and over. Hope Liam Wyatt triangle now Stephie Liam and Wyatt I know it is a soap but come on your fiance “leaves” you and yet you are married a to his step brother upon the return, The soap plays musical bed with the Forresters Spensers and Logans.

Also for 1/2 hour soap they have more flashbacks than any other soap. As the views of LA are just filler less time for writers to do what they are suppose to do

I was, weirdly, diggin Liam and Quinn. I cant really judge her age cause the actress looks great for whatever age she is, but they could have Quinn become preggers by Liam. He could be torn with inner turmoil in trying to decide whether to be with Quinn for the sake of the baby or cut them both out of his life. The thing is they had remarkable chemistry together onscreen. Plus Liam did genuinely love Quinn/Eve at one point. Just sayin.

I am ” weirdly” with you on this. You knew at some point it was going to implode but there was something quite sweet about how they got along.

I too liked Liam and Quinn. And she was wearing pastels!

Rena is in her late-forties. I too am hoping Quinn is pregnant. The story could be amazing. Bill would totally freak!

I started to watch it only once a week. I can’t stand Rick and his “your not a real Forester” and his constantly trying to take over the Forester Creations. I wish he would get it in his damn head Eric bought that house for Stephany and she brought up their kids their. He is Brooks & Eric’s son and was not brought up there so it is NOT his house. It belongs to Eric, Ridge,Thorn, and I think two others. Eric should get some backbone & throw that little punk out until he grows up. Oh by the way since Nichole is having his baby and Myia can’t have children will he consider this kid a real Forester?

Nancy Lee Grahn’s Star-Studded ALS Fundraiser Reveals “I’ll Be There” Video Featuring Soap Opera Notables

Talk about your impressive line-up! It’s a soap fans dream and for a great cause. General Hospital’s Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) is prepping her one-night only ALS fundraiser which will feature many of her friends and co-stars.

The benefit is set for May 4th in Glendale, California. Slated to participate are Genie Francis, Jane Elliot, Peter Bergman, Maurice Benard, Eileen Davidson, Thorsten Kaye, Michelle Stafford, Stephen Nichols, Rena Sofer, Jason Thompson, Kelly Monaco, Melissa Claire Egan, Maura West, Kristina Wagner, Gregory Harrison, Trevor St. John, Kate Mansi, Kirsten Storms, Cynthia Watros, and many others.

On Wednesday, Grahn took to her social media and released an “I’ll be there” video shout-out featuring, Monaco, Elliot, Bergman, Bernard, West, Harrison, St. John and more. In a touching and important moment in the new video, Michelle Strogny, who is battling ALS, is featured.

Previously, in speaking with Soap Opera Digest on the impetus of the event, Grahn recalled, “I was actually doing Zoom events during Covid and I met this woman that I just fell in love with, Michelle Strojny. At the time, Michelle had been living with ALS for four years. Now, it’s five years. She is a mom of a teenage son, she has the most wonderful husband, and she has been dealing with this [disease] for quite a while. And obviously, there isn’t a cure yet. It’s not survivable yet. But as she says, it’s not incurable. Nothing is; it’s underfunded. But anyway, I just really dug this woman. She is so grounded and filled with grace, and she spends all of her time working to raise money for the cause. We did a fundraiser for her last year and then I thought, ‘You know what? The soaps don’t ever get together to do something for charity.’ Collectively, we have this amazing community and we don’t collectively use it for a good cause, and I think it’s such an easy thing for us to do and we could potentially really make a difference.”

As GH viewers know, Gregory Harrison is playing the character of Gregory Chase, who is also battling ALS in a touching storyline that is currently playing out shedding a light on this disease.

‘General Hospital’ Writer Shannon Peace Let Go, and Shares on Sprina: “One of My Only Regrets is to Not Have the Opportunity to Develop That ‘Ship’ Further”

As General Hospital’s new head writing team of Elizabeth Korte and Patrick Mulcahy gets off the ground and running, there are still changes a foot on the writing team.

Now comes word via breakdown writer Shannon Peace that she is no longer on contract with the long-running ABC soap heading into its 61st season. Peace shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram, thanking the fans, and the show for the opportunity and the importance of diversity in the writers room.

Peace began, “After almost 3 years on staff and 106 episodes penned, I am no longer on contract with General Hospital. Writing for this country’s longest running television serial drama has been an education of epic proportions; I will forever be grateful that I earned my WGA card on a daytime fixture that holds memories for so many.” (Peace pictured below with GH EP Frank Valentini and script writer, Charlotte Gibson from about ten months ago).

Shannon added “Even more importantly, as the sole Black breakdown writer (and only POC in the writers room) during my tenure, I pushed for vital interactions and discussions that prioritized inclusion, visibility, and representation”

The writer pointed to the example of vital interaction when in story, “Stella and Portia’s frank July 2022 conversation about the role race played in Esme’s framing of Trina is just one example of the impact I’m gratified to have had.”

Acknowledging former GH co-head writers was also part of Peace’s farewell expressing, “Appreciation to my former bosses, Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor – not only taking a chance on me, but for valuing my opinion and championing my voice.”

Many GH fans know that Peace was key to the development of the love story between Trina Robinson and Spencer Cassadine as played by Tabyana Ali and Nicholas Chavez. Shannon gave a special shout-out to ‘Sprina’ fans, “I also want to thank fans who were supportive of my work, especially the recognition of my love for ‘Sprina’. One of my only regrets is not having to develop that ‘ship’ further.”

She concludes her statement with,”In the aftermath of a historic writer’s strike that shed new light on the troubling ways writers are regarded in daytime, my sincere hope is that General Hospital recommits to valuing staff writer efforts and input, with a more intentional focus on diverse viewpoints — and thrives for another 60 years.”

Accompanying her post, Shannon added, “Thank you all for the love and support these last few years. I hope GH fans get all they hope for and more!”

So, what do you think about GH not renewing Shannon’s contract? Will there be more continued changes afoot? What do you think is the future of ‘Sprina’ anyway at this point as viewers wait to see if Nicholas Chavez officially returns to the show?  Comment below.
