B&B's Brad Bell Previews: Ridge and Katie To Hit The Sheets While Brooke Hits The Skids!

Courtesy/CBS

There is a lot to look forward to upcoming on The Bold and the Beautiful in the coming months! And to get the inside scoop, TV Guide Magazine’s  Michael Logan, talked with B&B head honcho, Brad Bell to get the skinny on several of the key storyline and characters including what the heck is going on with Aly Forrester (Ashlyn Pearce) and is she a little off her rocker?   If you read the piece you will find out just where that is headed!

Now in the romance department between Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Katie (Heather Tom) , it looks like the duo will have sex on the upcoming March 18th episode of the CBS soap opera, and Brooke  (Katherine Kelly Lang) is going to come apart and turn to booze!   Here are a few excerpts from the chat with Brad!

Brad on Ridge and Katie hitting the sheets and Brooke’s reaction: “Brooke is completely stunned. Her head is spinning. She never loses! It’s such a foreign concept to her that she could be No. 2 — and losing Ridge to her sister, Katie, of all people! When B&B started, who would have thought that little Katie with the pimples would steal away the one and only Ridge Forrester? (Laughs) It was the ultimate long shot! Brooke feels very betrayed by Katie.”

Brad on Ridge’s decision to be with Katie and how it affects Brooke:  “Ridge is all about what’s right for Ridge and he is not going to be denied. He’s made his decision and everyone else better get out of the way! Brooke and Katie have been trying to keep their sisterly bond but this really puts the relationship to the test. Brooke doesn’t know quite how to handle it, so she ends up turning to liquor.  Our Brooke will hit the skids.”

So what do you think about the plot line that will have Brooke turning to the bottle?  Are you happy that Ridge and Katie will hit the sheets? Let us know!

Honestly, I am happy that Ridge now has depth… he’s fun, he’s kind and sensitive… and yes very masculine…he’s a guys guy. I love that he is not choosing Brooke… I am also so tired of BRIDGE…her character needs a rehaul….send her on an Eat, Pray, Love thing…WE, the audience, need a break from HER. I also hope we are done with Hope/ Liam…. I like Hope with her new love…. he brought her back to fun! She’s likeable again! Liam and Steffy were great…she brought excitement to his boring Eyore character. Although Steffy is terrific and brings it with… Read more »

So Katie and Ridge are in love after 8 weeks. Wasn’t he the guy vowing eternal love to Brooke right before Christmas? Now the first week in March, they’re in love. Does this mean that they’re married by Memorial Day and divorced by the fourth of July? I could give a flip who Ridge ends up with but the rush job on this story is amazing. I can’t watch Brooke beg for love and sex with Ridge especially when he came back and told her he wanted a life with her and then proposed to her and has been hiding… Read more »

Can Ridge meet someone outside of the Logans. It’s getting to point where it’s gross. And the fans want better story telling. Bring in someone new for Ridge, for Katie, and for Brooke. And if they must recycle….then no affairs! Let’s focus on designs and competitions. This soap cannot tell riveting/compelling stories or real life issues aside from Katie’s PPD, and even those scenes made my head hurt.

I agree, but the whole thing of someone falling in love with another’s characters relative like, father, mother, brother, sister, cousin etc has been done to death on this show. It is too bad TK came on as a recast Ridge, because I could have really loved this pairing if TK had been any other character other than Ridge and the worn out falling in love with your sister in law, or brother in law or father in law– it all been done, so done.

Mary you can correct me if I have missed any: Eric married to both Brooke & Donna. Thorne married to Brooke and involved with Donna and a slight flirtation with Katie. Nick Marone Married to Brooke & Bridget slept with Donna & Katie. Ridge a slight flirtation with Donna and a almost go there with Bridget by the way that one made Ronn Moss/Ridge disgusted: This is his idea of story telling!

I might add and I am beating a dead horse Winsor Harmon the hottest man on B&B yet no story no love interests. Instead I see TK with 400 wrinkles on the forehead Don Diamont who looks like a pimp and this is who he decides to have love scenes with. I want to throw up!!!!

Brooke slept with Bridget husband Deacon and had Hope. Brooke and Thomas flirted and kissed or more while tripped out on magic berries while stranded after a plane crash. Steffy slept with her step sister’s fiancee Liam, and Hope is now involved with Liam’s half brother Wyatt. Taylor had a thing with Throne who was her former brother in law and Eric who was her former father in law. Brooke had sex with Hope’s boyfriend claiming she thought he was Ridge. And now Aly has a crush for her cousin’s ex Liam—-there could be more, but I have lost count–… Read more »

Mary SF, I agree with the Paul and Dylan scenario ! Those are the same thoughts that crossed my mind when I was watching . That would be excellent !!!!. As far as Katie and Ridge, It’s the “off the charts”, chemistry between Tom and Kaye that makes this couple work so well. They make you feel, like all super-couples. It would NOT have worked with Moss. Tom and Moss did NOT have that amazing chemistry.

Can’t wait to see KKL play “Brooke” as a drunk. Perhaps she will play drunk as well as Linda Grey’s “Sue Ellen” on Dallas. Kudos to Brad Bell for this turn of events.

When is B&B going to go to hour long episodes? Maybe the better question is WHY NOT go to hour long episodes? Simply answered: Because the rehashed storylines would be doubled, causing it to be weak and haggard!

At it’s very best, B&B is a blueprint for stale storytelling!

I totally disagree. I’ve watched this show from day one thru 2012…and love him or not….NO ONE…NO ONE…is Ridge but Ronn Moss. He CREATED this roll & was Ridge for frakin 25 YEARS! There is NO OTHER RIDGE! No Stephanie? No “real” Ridge? Sorry, but I can’t watch this mess. I’m done!

Didn’t Brooke already hit the skids at least twice before? When she went round the bend and wound up in Barbados, and again after Ridge and Ashley got engaged and Young Hope and RJ wound up sitting home alone all night while she was passed out in her car? Oh well. It’s not like Brad remembers his own show, anyway, LOL. He’s famous for rewriting and reusing everything.

This is a good idea. I personally understand how rejection from a life love can lead one to the bottle, so this makes sense, at least IMHO. I’d like to see some growth from Brooke, after she hits a rock bottom some way, and it’d be nice to see a rejuvenated and independent Brooke, though Brooke will always need a bit of scandal or Brooke wouldn’t be Brooke.

If this was the direction you were going in then getting rid of RonnMoss at an extremely crucial point in this decades long story falls so flat and leaves us viewers so highly disappointed and let down. Year after year..for me from day one..these two characters were repeatedly thrown into the most ridiculous of situations involving their relationship from one character after the next. What a huge let down to see ThorstenKaye..who looks shorter than Katie …portray this penultimate moment. Much like the reason seeing KimberlyMatulla day after day look into her scene partner’s eyes hoping that some spark will… Read more »

And by the by..HULUPLUS has added the over the top but still with a grip on reality soap HOLLYOAKS. It used to be on BBCAMERICA after the dummies stopped airing EASTENDERS..Now I at least have CORONATIONSTREET and HOLLYOAKS to commiserate for the miserable state of American daytime. I reccomend watching. The reason this show was chosen is because of the storyline right now involving JohnPaulMcqueen being raped by one of his male high school students and the impact it’s had in the UK. It may be over the top at times but it’s over the top is gripping..just like CORONATIONSTREET… Read more »

I am ecstatic about the storyline. I love Ridge and Katies’love story. .They deserve each other.To me, they are soulmates.Brooke and Bill now know how their former spouses truly felt.I don’t think Brooke or Bill care about how they hurt Katie.You know what they say about “KARMA”.So Katie and Ridge, go for it.I love the new Ridge.

I really love the pace of the Kridge storyline ! After the immensely dragged out Hope, Liam, Steffy mess, this is soooo refreshing. Finally, a love story worth investing in !! They have amazing chemistry. Looking forward to “The Sister Showdown !” Maybe now, Brooke will realize how much she and Bill are similar !!! Loving Hope and Wyatt’s banter !!! Now this is a couple that is NOT filled with gloom and doom…ie: Hope and Liam. Looks like we are definitely back on “the crazy train”, with Aly !!!!!

I’m not liking this at all….I don’t care about Katie & Ridge at all….two hypocrites who were so judgemental of Brooke….Ridge walked out on her for no good reason & treated her like garbage when he returned, & Katie didn’t want Bill at all & did everything but pick them up & throw them into bed together…..I don’t want to see Brooke drunk, but if that’s what it takes to bring her & Bill together,then its ok with me….

I love Katie and Ridge together, such chemistry between Heather and Thorsten. I used to hate B&B because of slutty Brooke and dumbass Bill, plus, Liam the limp towel. Now, between Wyatt & Hope and Katie & Ridge, it is can’t-miss-TV!! Bill and Brooke getting a taste of their own medicine is great but even better is the pure, sweet romance between Katie and Ridge.

The writing on this show can be so stupid sometimes. Instead of falling in “love” with Ridge, you would think a smart cookie like Katie would be throwing some blame his way!!! After all, had not Ridge dumped Brooke on the honeymoon for TEXTING Deacon to stay away from Hope, she wouldn’t have even been available for a premarital affair, but as usual, everyone wants to blame Brooke….and the nuRidge needs to be taken down a notch, just bc you recast with a different face, don’t forget the character’s thoroughline…it’s been Ridge and Brooke since the beginning, I don’t believe… Read more »

I just dont think Katie and Ridge make a good storyline..It was bad enough that they put Brooke and Bill together at one time..Geeezzz enough is enough.Ridge and Brooke always found their way back to one another.Why couldnt Katie find love with Thorne , that would have made a good storyline I think.Thorne truely find happiness again as Katie.Then Brooke and Ridge as they always were.Give Bill what he deserves which maybe Quinn..lol

NO I AM NOT HAPPY about Ridge and Katie hitting the sheets. Matter of fact I stopped watching it when I realized that this Ridge was being such a Jerk.

I have been watching B&B forever and I have to say that Thorsten Kaye is a real breathe of fresh air to the show…I find him to be the right ingredients of handsome, charm and really knows how to sweep a woman off her toes…lol….lucky Katie….it can’t be all about Brooke all the time….gets old….looking forward to more of Thorsten….where oh where have u been!!!!

Spends a week or two talking to Katie and poof they are IN LOVE. What a joke! Why don’t these writers see that the sisters need to make peace and kick Ridge’s butt to the curb.

Way to go Tana! I agree with you 1,000 percent. Why I have watched this soap for all these years is pure insanity on my part. I guess I just keep hoping that someone, somewhere will come up with a new idea. This storyline is total nonsense. And just one question; why is Ridge never blamed for his reprehensible actions? When will someone call Ridge Forrester the low-down dog that he is instead of blaming everything that goes wrong for anyone on Brooke. It just doesn’t make sense. And Saint Katie is the biggest hypocrite there is.

Donna is the hypocrite !! She wanted Katie to forgive Brooke for sleeping with her HUSBAND , but finds it so terrible that Katie is in a loving relationship with Ridge. Ridge and Brooke are NOT married and Katie and Ridge have NOT slept together. Donna has the same warped sense of right and wrong, which I’m sure she learned from Brooke !! With sisters like that, who needs enemies !!! So happy that Ridge and Katie will be making love this week. Hopefully, this will be a very long soul-mate love story for them.

If anyone believes that there is no chemistry between Katie and Ridge, they need to watch the 3/18 -3/19 episodes. This was so beautifully done !!! Bravo and thank you B & B !!!

Ugh! I almost lost my lunch watching that love seen between Katie and Ridge yesterday. This Ridge looks old enough to be Katie’s grandfather. And I’m guessing that the people in favor of these two together and think that they are so morally superior to Brooke, don’t remember when Ridge was kissing Bridget (a woman he once thought was his daughter) and Katie stabbing Bridget in the back by sleeping with Nick. Oh how soon we forget. LOL

Why can’t b&b get someone all together different to come on the show for Brooke. Why turn her into some weak old drunk. Why ? This is so white of b&b and Ridge is an old man that went away and it seems that people on this soap uses the L word too loosely with no substance.

I hate the fact that ridge is with Katie. I can’t believe how the both of them came down on Brooke so hard and made her feel so bad for being with Bill when it was Katie’s idea to begin with. She got all that started. Yes they were wrong for ultimately giving in to their feelings. But Brooke was the bigger person when she forgot about her feelings in order for her sister’s happiness. Now that Katie and ridge ate together how is that any different from what Brooke and Bill did. Now Katie wants to act all smug… Read more »

Y&R’s Michael Graziadei Proposes to Girlfriend, Lauren on ‘The Talk’

In just a beautiful moment that makes you reach for the ‘hankies’, The Young and the Restless’ Michael Graziadei (Daniel) surprised his girlfriend, and the mother of his two children, Lauren Carey, during today’s episode of The Talk.

Graziadei along with castmates, Camryn Grimes (Mariah), Bryton James (Devon), and Christel Khalil (Lily) were guests on the show celebrating Y&R’s 50th anniversary.

During the group interview, Graziadei revealed it was Lauren’s birthday, yesterday, and so he called her up from the studio audience and surprised her.

Michael shared: “This is my beautiful girlfriend, Lauren.  We’ve spent the better half of 10 years together… she’s given me beautiful twins and I just wanted to do something special for your birthday. So I was thinking, you know, how there is no one on this earth that I would rather grow old and die with. So, I was wondering…will you marry me?”

A stunned but thrilled Lauren said “yes”, and then shared:  “I love you.  I guess I can thank you two (turning to Khalil and James) for this because he can afford the ring now.”

Next, co-host Akbar Gbajabiamila asked Lauren, if she felt the proposal was coming.  She confessed, “I mean it’s been 10 years, so I figured it was never going to happen.”

Watch Michael’s heartfelt proposal to Lauren below.

Louise Sorel Back Taping Episodes at Days of our Lives

During a guest appearance with Harvey Brownstone on his celebrity You Tube interview show, Louise Sorel revealed that she is back in-studio taping all-new episodes of Days of our Lives as Vivian Alamain.

This will mark the first on-screen appearance by Sorel in over three years.  However, we heard Sorel’s voice when Vivian made a call to Stefan (Brandon Barash) back in January of this year.

The last few times Vivian was on-screen in Salem, she was played by two different Daytime Emmy-winning actresses. First, One Life to Live icon, Robin Strasser (ex-Dorian) played the part and then exited the canvas back in the fall of 2019.  Next, Linda Dano (ex-Felicia, AW and ex-Rae OLTL), took on the role in early 2021 for a brief stint.

In this newly released interview, Sorel dished with Brownstone on the rigors of taping a soap opera, and how on her first day back she felt “God-awful.”  Louise qualified that with how she found herself apologizing left and right to the cast and crew because it had been awhile since she had so much dialog to recite and to get back into the swing of things.

The longtime DAYS favorite also speaks to the pace in which everyone works at DAYS to get the episodes completed each day in front of the camera.  Since Days of our Lives tapes so far in advance, it will be months till Sorel is seen on the Peacock streaming series.

Check out Sorel’s interview below, where she also shares some behind the scenes intel on her time on Santa Barbara as Augusta Lockridge.

Andy Kaufman to be Inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame

The late comedian, Andy Kaufman has been announced as an inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2023.

Kaufman, who was best-know as Latka Gravas in the hit sitcom Taxi from 1978-1983, loved pro wrestling and used it in a gimmick quite often in his comedy routine including several times on Saturday Night Live.

Photo: NBC

Andy eventually declared himself the ‘Inter-Gender Wrestling Champion of the World’, offering money to any woman who could pin him as part of his act.  This led to a feud with fellow WWE Hall of Famer, Jerry “The King” Lawler.

As the ruse continued, Lawler and Kaufman convinced the audience they were bitter enemies. Some of the highlights of their faux feud included: Kaufman claiming that Lawler broke his neck when Lawler performed a piledriver on him, and the two trading insults on Late Night with David Letterman before Lawler slapped Kaufman, knocking Andy out of his chair.

Lynne Margulies, Kaufman’s partner, even received a book deal over the antics. It was called Dear Any Kaufman, I Hate Your Guts.  The contents were from a compilation of hate mail, Andy received from the women he challenged to wrestle on Saturday Night Live.

Sadly, Kaufman died from lung cancer and was never a smoker back in 1984.  He was only 34-years-old.

In an ironic twist to the upcoming ceremony, Lawler recently suffered another stroke back in February of this year, and while he would be the perfect choice to induct Hoffman into the Hall of Fame, it is unclear at this time if he would even be able to.

Kaufman joins Rey Mysterio Jr. and The Great Muta as the class of 2023 thus far.

The Hall of Fame ceremonies that will stream live on Peacock direct from Los Angeles on March 31st, the night before Wrestlemania 39 begins.

Check out two of Andy’s matches – one against a woman from Memphis Wrestling and one from his battles with Jerry Lawler.

So, what do you think about Andy Kaufman being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
