Taylor is rushed to the hospital after ingesting the berries that Thomas brought back from the island.  Brooke is interrupted by Stephanie just as she is about to tell Ridge about what she believes to have happened on the island with Thomas.  Furious that his wife had been poisoned due to careless behavior, Whip reprimands Thomas for putting his mother in grave danger and grills him about why he still has the berries.  Taylor confesses to Ridge about her hallucinations of him while she was under the influence of the berries.

Thomas becomes sentimental as he watches Ridge dote over Taylor while she’s in the hospital.  Stephanie becomes suspicious when she overhears Thomas make a private phone call to Brooke.  Taylor confides in Steffy about how she often thinks about what her life would have been like if she and Ridge had stayed together.  When Ridge tells her how the berries acted as an aphrodisiac on Taylor, Brooke assures him that she did not receive the same effect.  Stephanie makes Thomas an offer that he can’t refuse after he tells her the truth about what really happened on the island.  Ridge doesn’t understand how Brooke can be certain that she didn’t have the same reaction to the berries as Taylor had.  Stephanie makes Thomas a lucrative offer to lie about what happened on the island in exchange for a much brighter future at Forrester Creations.  Whip’s feelings are hurt when Taylor shuns him as he attempts to comfort her.  Stephanie forewarns Steffy that Ridge and Taylor will ultimately reunite… and soon.  Thomas tells Ridge and Brooke about the events that took place on the island that he recently remembered.

Stephanie believes that Ridge and Taylor could have a wonderful future together without Brooke in the way and vows not to rest until that happens.  Thomas puts on the performance of his life as he recounts his story about what happened between him and Brooke on the island while they were under the influence of the berries.  Brooke denies Thomas’ claim as Ridge demands to know more information.  Realizing that there is nothing he can do to change Taylor’s lingering feelings for Ridge, Whip makes a drastic decision about his marriage.  ­When Thomas shows signs of guilt for lying to Ridge and Brooke about what happened on the island, Stephanie strongly reminds him about why he agreed to lie. Brooke is desperate to convince Ridge that there is no way that she could have crossed that line with Thomas during her hallucination. Stephanie assures Taylor that it is just a matter of time before she is reunited with Ridge. Refusing to believe that Thomas would ever lie about such a thing, Ridge leaves Brooke wondering how this will affect their marriage.­

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Hope’s World is Shattered as She Learns Thomas and Douglas are Leaving for Paris

Henry Joseph Samiri (Douglas) is one of the best child actors on the soaps and he proved it again on Thursday’s March 28th episode of The Bold and the Beautiful.

In story, Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) has informed the Forrester family that he and Douglas are leaving and heading to Paris for awhile. This is wonderful news to Steffy’s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) ear, who implored her brother to forget about Hope (Annika Noelle) after she turned down two proposals for him.

Meanwhile, Douglas goes to see Hope in the dressing room area of Forrester. It is then, that the young boy shares his disappointment that Hope turned down Thomas.

Hope tells Douglas she’s going to reach out to his dad, but the young boy says he already knows she turned down his proposal, again. “He’s not the only one who got his hopes up,” a broken-hearted Douglas shares. Next, he asks Hope why she made it seem like they could be a family together? Although she shares they are a family, she also says she is not ready for marriage, for a big commitment, just yet, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t want to be with his father.

Next, Douglas says that Hope doesn’t love his dad enough to make them a real family. He then tells Hope, “Why aren’t we good enough? You don’t love us enough?”

Assuring Douglas, Hope says she loves him… so much. Hope tells Douglas she’ll always be his mother. However, Douglas says his mother died, adding “Caroline Spencer. Dad was enough for her.” Hope recoils. Douglas says he wants to go with his dad and that if  his father is leaving, he wants to go with him.

In yet another touching moment, Douglas, expresses, “I love him so much. He’s my hero. Please don’t stop me from going. Don’t make me go through court stuff again. He needs me, and I need him.” Then, Douglas turns and walks to the door.  Just then, Hope cries out, “I love you!” Douglas runs back into her arms and the two share a tender moment where Douglas says, “I love you, Mom.”

In Ridge’s (Thorsten Kaye) office, Douglas enters. He tells everyone he saw Hope and told her he was going away with his dad. Brooke is (Katherine Kelly Lang) shocked, Tomas says “Douglas is coming with me.” Brooke says that Hope, as his mother, and has a say in this. Douglas tells Brooke, “I told her I needed to go with my dad.”

As he exits with Thomas, he turns and says, “Bye, Brooke.” Meanwhile, Brooke  cries. “I can only imagine what Hope is feeling about all of this.” Fade to black.

So, what did you think of the performances of Henry Joseph Samiri, Annika Noelle and Matthew Atkinson in these key scenes? Comment below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Learns Britt Died and Tells Anna He Has Been Working For Cates Since November 2021

On the Tuesday, March 26th of General Hospital, Anna (Finola Hughes) and the viewers learn about where Jason (Steve Burton) has been for over two and half years. However, Jason gets some news of his own.

Anna is visiting Jason at the PCPD interrogation room. She asks him if he shot Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), which he flatly denies. Anna believes him, but she tells Jason it doesn’t matter, because video footage shows him on the roof at the time of the shooting

When talk turns to Jason not willing to speak without his lawyer present, Anna can’t grasp why Jason would instead spend an hour alone talking with John Cates (Adam J. Harrington).

It is then that Anna brings up that John went by “Jagger” and that the two of them knew each other in high school. Jason doesn’t recall much of his time in high school following his brain injury, but then he gets furious realizing John knew about “Jason’s” past. That is when Jason slams the table and tells Anna, “I’ve been working for John Cates since November 2021.”

Next, Jason explains further that he has been working as an informant for the FBI. Anna wants to know how this came about and he tells her that after the tunnel collapsed, and he couldn’t make it to Britt (Kelly Thiebaud)… all of a sudden he sees Anna’s face drop.  Anna is the first person to tell him that Britt died and was murdered. She tells Jason the killer is in custody, but he continues to be shocked, overwhelmed with tears welling up in his eyes. Realizing he has to pivot to save his life, Jason continues telling Anna how he wound up working with John.

Jason explains that after the tunnel collapse in Greece, FBI agents grabbed him and placed him under arrest and took him to Quantico where he met John. At Quantico, John played a recording of RICO violations and offered Jason a deal if he agreed to be an informant against Pikeman, the illegal arms dealer.

Anna hears from Jason that he thinks Pikeman is selling illegal arms to anyone flagged by the NSA but has ties to the WSB which they needed a civilian to infiltrate their organization as a military soldier, a mercenary.

Jason tells Anna he was a part of the team brought into eliminate Sonny (Maurice Benard). Every time an attempt was made on Sonny’s life over the last two years, a different team was sent to do the job. Anna gets furious when she learns that John told Jason his job was to kill Sonny and she was with John at the warehouse that night. Jason ensured the sniper missed Sonny and left the rifle behind. However, they were supposed to meet an extraction team. Before he was shot, Dante saw it was Jason on the roof and when he turned around with his hands over his head, Dante was shot by the other guy. Jason says if Dante dies, he’ll be charged with capital murder and then will be useless to the FBI.

Meanwhile, John visits Bobbie’s and runs into Carly (Laura Wright). She learns Jason is in custody and is going to head to the PCPD. Before she does, Carly has some words with Cates when she learns not only does John have a vendetta against Sonny, but Jason too.  Carly tells John he should recuse himself from the case.

So, what did you think about the moment when Jason learned Britt died? What do you think of Jason’s return storyline thus far and what we learned about Jagger/Jason and more? Comment below. But first, check out a moment from today’s GH with Jason and Anna.

American Idol

AMERICAN IDOL: Should Former ‘Bachelor’ Juan Pablo Gervais’ Daughter Camila, Been Voted Through to Hollywood Week?

On the final round of audition to make it into Hollywood Week, Sunday night’s March 24th episode of American Idol brought with it some top-notch musical performances by contestants around the country.

An interesting moment occurred when the former ‘Bachelor’ Juan Pablo Gervais revealed himself. Gervais’ daughter, Camila, who we watched grow-up before our eyes, before and after Juan Pablo’s season on the reality dating series is now 14-years-old and entering the competition.

When Camila explained who her dad was to the judges: Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Perry, he was brought into the audition room.

Katy asked Juan Pablo, “You know what it’s like to be on television, and you’re trying to throw her in this lion’s den?” Juan Pablo admitted he has been actually trying to temper Camila’s musical aspirations until he felt she was ready to audition and be a part of ‘Idol’.

When it was time to perform, Camila choose to performance Joaquina’s “Rabia.” Her audition drew mixed reactions from the judges. It was a “no” from Lionel Richie. It was a “yes” from Katy Perry although she expressed her concern about Camila’s vocal limitations as measured against the other singers who made it through.

The deciding vote was from Luke Bryan who gave Camila another “yes”. However, Luke was originally a “no.”  He said with the right producer she could make it. Katy mentioned that Spanish music is the industry’s fastest growing genre, and Camila is “authentically that.”

Many on social media and viewer reaction felt if her father, former ABC star Juan Pablo, was not standing in the room awaiting the judges decision, they would have given her a hard pass, since they continually brought up she needed more time to develop her potential and to come back and audition in a few years.

This was yet another controversial pick by the judges.  You can watch Camila’s performance below.  Then let us know, do you feel Camila should have been voted through to Hollywood Week? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
