B&B’s Brooke and Bill, Katie and Carter: Are You Down For These Potential Pairings?

Photos: CBS

On CBS’ The Bold and the Beautiful, it looks as those (at least for the short-term, possibly longer) there will be some re-pairings and some new romances ahead for four key characters.

This comes on the heels of Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) walking away from Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and having had sex with his ex-wife, Taylor (Krista Allen).  While Ridge believes Brooke made the call to CPS (Child Protective Services) against his son, Thomas (Matthew Atkinson), in actuality, it was revealed to be Thomas, himself, who did the deed using a voice-changing app.  So, with misunderstandings and misinformation abound, it all leads to romantic rebounds and more.  The question is, are B&B fans down for the pairings?

First, there is Brooke and Bill (Don Diamont).  As soon as Brooke landed back in LA from Aspen, devastated over Ridge walking out on her, who should show up at her door … Bill! Previously, this couple known as “Brill” has had a stormy past, but Bill has always deeply loved Brooke.  So much so, that just before he ran over to Brooke’s, he was meeting up with her sister, Katie (Heather Tom).  While having lunch, Katie tells Bill they can’t get back together, because if Brooke were available, she would always be second fiddle.  And just like that, it would seem that Brooke may now be available, thanks to Ridge dumping her. Note: Bill was also having Brooke followed in Aspen by Othello.

Meanwhile, Katie has a conversation with Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor), while at Forrester Creations.  Carter says they are friends and she can openly talk to him. She tells him what happened with Bill.  In addition, we will learn this week just what has happened to Quinn, when her bestie Shauna (Denise Richards) arrives back in LA.  As B&B viewers know, Rena Sofer (ex-Quinn) has left the series, which could free up Carter in the love department. Katie and Carter have flirted with romance with each other before. From the looks of it, both will try to move on from their past loves in the weeks ahead.

So, are you in favor of a Brooke and Bill redux, and seeing Carter and Katie in relationship? If not, who would you rather see them on the B&B canvas with? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

Yes Bill & Brooke belong together

Brooke and Bill belong together

Nina
Yes! The Stalian and the old grey Mare.

YES!!! Bill and Brook!!

Anybody but Brooke and Ridge. Let them move on for good!

Yes Brooke and Bill belong together

It’s time for Bill & Brooke to have a good long run. They are perfect for each other

Yes! Bring Brooke and Bill back together.

Bill made a big mistake, nearly killing his son, but instead of fighting him Brooke walked out -straight to Ridge and she never looked back. If he’s stupid enough to go back to her, he deserves what is coming to him: Brooke leaving again for Ridge.

Refresh my memory here, please.when did Bill almost kill WHICH SON, Liam, Wyatt or Will and when did that happen?

Between Brooke, Ridge, Taylor, Katie, Bill, Carter…I really don’t care about who goes with who. Together today , change tomorrow…it’s a writer’s gimmick for drama. But I wouldn’t mind seeing Bill with Dr. li ( hope I got her name right). She does bring out the best in him. I do want to see Thomas’s voice change app get discovered ASAP. Would be poetic justice if Douglas with the innocence of a child reveals it…” Guess what I showed dad how to do?”

The last thing we need is another Brooke and Bill redux… What happened to a potential Bill and Li pairing? And isn’t Jack single now that he and Li broke up? Why can’t the writers pair Brooke with him, and actually utilize the talents of Ted King?

As for Carter and Katie, at least it’s a new pairing that hasn’t been done to death already. But what a disappointment for “Quarter” fans to have Carter and Quinn’s story end so abruptly and unceremoniously. Rena Sofer’s exit really threw a wrench into what could have been a great revenge story where Quinn reverts back to her older self and tries to sabotage Eric and Donna’s relationship to get back at them.

It would have put Carter at the forefront of story and allowed Lawrence St. Victory to show he’s a leading man, given Rena Sofer a showcase to display her myriad talents, and given viewers a much needed break from the unbearable rehash of the Brooke/Ridge/Taylor fiasco. There’s just no drama in how quickly and neatly this story ended, especially with the months of build-up. What a letdown. Then again, that’s all B&B has become lately.

I love Brooke & Bill together.They always had great chemistry. It was nice to see them travel the world on his yacht & jet. He always treated her much better than Ridge. It would be good to leave him with Taylor & be miserable while Brooke enjoys life. Stop this stupid triangle but let ridge really regret losing Brooke. And Brill romance is the best!

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.
