B&B Baby Drama: Reese Brings Taylor A Bundle Of Joy, Katrina Bowden Debuts, Steffy Wants A Sister For Kelly
If you caught Friday’s tag of The Bold and the Beautiful, and the teaser for Monday’s episode via TV Insider, plus the latest CBS Daytime promo for the soap opera, things are looking pretty clear as to just ‘where o where’ is Hope (Annika Noelle) and Liam’s (Scott Clifton) baby that was apparently stillborn!
Here is what has transpired so far: Shady Reese (Wayne Brady), seemingly interested in Taylor (Hunter Tylo), brings her a baby! She is shocked and doesn’t know where the baby came from, and we fade to black on Friday.
Previewing Monday, former 30 Rock star Katrina Bowden makes her debut as Flo. Just who is Flo? What we know is she is a Las Vegas casino dealer, who is saying she gave birth to a baby girl and is wanting to give it up for adoption. Seems Flo and Reese have some past together. Taylor, of course, is immediately smitten by the newborn baby.
Then in the week’s promo for BOLD, Taylor is seen saying to Reese, “You mean, Steffy could adopt this baby?” Then, Steffy seriously contemplates and realizes she could be a single-mom to two daughters and give them the life she wants for them, since she misses her late twin sister, Phoebe.
Watch the final moments from Friday’s episode, and the latest promo for B&B below. Then weigh-in: What do you think of this seemingly baby switch storyline? How long do you think it will go on for? You can see the ripple effect it would have if Steffy unknowingly adopts Hope’s baby, raises her, and later the truth comes out! Share your thoughts in the comment section.
I have so many questions! Why is Steffy obsessed with having a “twin” for her child? There must be something more to that. How in the world did Reese hide, and transport an infant from the clinic? My wish is Steffy either decides not to adopt and encourages Hope and Liam to adopt the baby, or Steffy is the hero who discovers the crime and returns Beth to her mother’s arms. Steffy having two babies under one year old is as strange as Liam having two women pregnant at once with his child. It needs to be resolved, quickly!!! Move on to finish the “Who Shot Bill” story and hopefully (I sound Ike a broken record) Kelly is Bill’s and relieves us all of the Lope/Steam saga for a long while.
So far, this story has been heartbreaking which is good. We still got so many twist before the story ends and i am glad to be going on this ride!!!
you do know that steffy will adopt hopes baby predictable much!
Hell no sick minded taboo crap has to stop people. keep things real we have enough crazies on this earth
BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!!!
N-E-X-T…
Dumb dumb dumb. Who wouldn’t find out that Reese just days before delivered her step sister’s dead baby and then delivered her a live one and not question it?!!! Dumbest dumbest soap crap since any story currently on Y&R
right
No Steffi should not adopt this new baby she should either get Liam back and have another baby with him or be given a new man and have one with him. Please give Bill a new woman. Change the character Ridge to a better more exciting looking man like the original one this current one is simply disasterous, boring and very unattractive.
Change the story line quickly you writers are really getting taboo, sick in the head, please do not make Reese have taken Hope’s baby and give to Steffi to adopt. You let us believe Hope’s baby died now leave it like that and Steffi needs to have another baby with Liam or another man. Take Hope off or give her another husband.
No I think liam and Hope should have a chance and with the baby even if just last a little while they deserve that much because it like everything bad happens to them so if its Just a few month for them thats better than none making like no happiness ever for them .

George Cheeks, CBS President & CEO, on Timeline to Launch New Daytime Drama, ‘The Gates’: “We’re So Focused on Getting it Right”
March 2024 will be remembered in the TV and soap world when the news broke that CBS is prepping a brand new daytime drama. Many had thought a major network would never bring a new daytime soap into the world, given that the last time it was attempted was 25 years ago when the now defunct Passions bowed on NBC.
However, The Gates is definitely in development and moving forward with some major players associated with it including: Michele Val Jean as The Gates writer, showrunner and one of its executive producers, and Sheila Ducksworth from NAACP Venture
Now, for the first time since its announcement, George Cheeks, the president and CEO of CBS and chief content officer for news and sports at Paramount+, spoke on the project that will feature a Black family as its central focus who live in a wealthy gated community.
Speaking with Vulture, and when asked if The Gates is really something that truly has a chance of getting on the air, Cheeks clarified, “It’s super real. And just to give you a little bit of the backstory, when we hired Sheila Ducksworth to run the NAACP Venture, she and I had multiple meetings talking about what different genres she was going to lean into, and we talked a lot about daytime.”
Cheeks added, “One of the things that the data made very clear to both of us is that daytime soap operas over index with Black women, and yet when you look at soap operas, it’s usually sort of a white-led family with supporting characters that reflect more of our society. So we just thought, wouldn’t it be interesting to flip that and make the core anchor family a Black family, and then make the other characters reflect more the broader scope of society?”
The CEO gave props to Michele Val Jean, and how Ducksworth came to the table with the former B&B and GH writer. “She found this great writer, Michele Val Jean, who’s been in the soap opera space for 30 years. She came up with a pitch, and we loved it,” shares Cheeks. “We brought Procter & Gamble into it as well, because if there were going to be (product) integrations, we could do it more holistically and organically. All of that is to say, we did a lot of work on the front end to put this together. So while yes, it’s development, it’s accelerated development.”
When prodded on the timeline of when The Gates could come to full fruition, Gates related, “The actual timeline and when we’re going to do it is still uncertain, because we want to get this right. I mean, there hasn’t been a new soap opera launch since I can’t even begin to tell you when. But we have great success with Bold and the Beautiful and Young and the Restless, and so we think we’re the right folks to be launching a new soap. I wish I could tell you more about exact timing, but we’re so focused on getting it right, and that will dictate when we’re ready to launch it.”
The CBS exec also shared that whether The Gates will wind up an hour soap or half-hour is not yet determined, but that it is being developed as an hour show.
So, after reading what George Cheeks, the CBS President & CEO had to say about ‘The Gates’, are you even more excited for what looks to the first new network soap in 25 years? Comment below.

51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards Announce Broadcast Date on CBS
The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) revealed on Tuesday, that the 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards will be broadcast live on Friday night, June 7th (8 – 10 PM, ET/delayed PT) on the CBS Television Network, and available to stream live and on-demand on Paramount+*.
This year will mark the 18th time CBS has broadcast the Daytime Emmy Awards, which is more than any other network.
The 2024 Daytime Emmys will take place at the Westin Bonaventure in downtown Los Angeles. Back in December of 2023, the delayed 50th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards were also held at that venue. The June 7th date for the upcoming ceremony will be the first time in several years that the event is scheduled a few weeks earlier than normal; excluding last year’s revised date to the actors and writers strikes.
Lifetime Achievement honoree, nominations, host, and additional information will be announced in the coming weeks.
In a statement, Adam Sharp, President and CEO of NATAS noted, “We eagerly anticipate our return in June as we once again partner with CBS to recognize the exceptional and talented individuals who make daytime television great. We’re thrilled to kick off our second half-century of the Daytime Emmys.”
The Daytime Emmy Awards have recognized outstanding achievement in television programming and crafts since 1974, honoring work in a variety of categories, including daytime dramas, talk shows, instructional programming, hosting, culinary, and legal/courtroom programs. In 2021, NATAS and the Television Academy jointly announced plans to realign the Daytime and Primetime Emmy Awards to be organized by content genre, as opposed to program airtime.
The 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards will once again be produced by NATAS and Associated Television International (ATI), which produced Daytime Emmy Award ceremonies on The CW in 2009 and on CBS in 2010, 2011, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. Adam Sharp and Lisa Armstrong are executive producers from NATAS, while David McKenzie is executive producer from ATI.
So, glad to know that the 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards honoring performance and shows in the 2023 calendar year, will be held in early June this year, and once again broadcast on CBS? Comment below.
