B&B's Katie Finds Out The Truth About Brooke & Bill! Heather Tom Delivers Emmy-Worthy Performance!

Courtesy/CBS
In can’t miss Monday episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, it certainly lived up to it’s hype!
Everyone was waiting for the bombshell to drop thanks to Taylor (Hunter Tylo) in full destruction mode to ruin Brooke’s (Katherine Kelly Lang) life once and for all! At Brooke’s birthday celebration, Taylor reveals to Katie (Heather Tom) that her sister Brooke and Katie’s husband, Bill (Don Diamont) had an affair and Brooke became pregnant because of it!
Try as Katie might to be in disbelief that her sister and her husband would do something so wrong, so despicable, a huge part of her knew it was true once Taylor uttered the words, and she saw the reaction from Brooke who could not deny it either!
Power Performance of the Week … we would hand it to five-time Daytime Emmy winner and now two-time consecutive winner for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, Heather Tom for her knockout performance on Monday’s episode. But the week has only begun! We can’t wait for tomorrow! In key scenes, Tom showed a woman struggling to believe that what Taylor, her “trusty” therapist has said was a lie, but when in actuality she realizes it is the truth! Betrayed by Taylor and everyone she knows, Katie clears out the room, slaps her husband Bill, and gets ready for a showdown with her sister Brooke! It was an amazing performance which should give Tom another Emmy nomination, or Emmy win, in 2014!
Watch today’s B&B on CBS.com by clicking here! And watch Monday’s promo from B&B featuring some big moment from the episode after the jump! Let us know what you thought of Heather Tom’s performance? What do you think will happen tomorrow when Katie and Brooke have it out? Are you glad Taylor spilled the beans? Weigh-in!
Wow I was so right yesterday on about her submitting this as an emmy performance. Apparently Heather Tom will win lead actress each year now until their are no soaps to air
Yes heather will win another emmy next year. she deserves another emmy. Heather can act. good for heather. i love this woman so much.
I SWEAR AS I WATCHED THIS TODAY THEN WATCH AGAIN AND THEN AGAIN…I KEPT THINKING HERE COME THOMS NEXT EMMY,,,THIS WOMEN IS AMAZING ,,EVERY EMOTION COMES THROUGH HER ENTIRE FACE,,,I HAVE TO SAY BEST SCENE ON BOLD AND BEAUTIFULL IN A LONG TIME….HAVE TO SAY KATHERINE KELLY LANG HELD HER OWN IN THIS SCENE,,,,WHILE DON DIAMOND DIDNT FIZZ ON ME IN THE LEAST,,ITS A POWER HOUSE PERFORMER LIKE THOM THAT CAN MAKE YOU ONLY FEEL FOR HER CHARACTER…I MEAN CMON DID ANYONE FEEL FOR THE DOLLAR OR BROOK
Yes she is awesome. NO she should NOT win again!
Randy, its TOM, not Thom.
Another emmy for next year! HT is amazing……….
I agree with you derrick. heather tom will win again. she is a wonderful actress. her scenes on todays episode were amazing.
Yawn! Nothing Emmy worthy about the very talented Heather Tom crying about another breakup! I love Heather and she is a fantastic actress. I just hate seeing the same people win multiple awards. No offense to her, but stop submitting. You clearly are vain and it is all about you! Some actors know when to stop. Meryl Streep is an example who even poked fun at her last Oscar win by acknowledging that maybe it is time to reward another actor/actress.
Heather, you are great, but DO NOT submit yourself again. Vanity is a trait you should where for ONE year!! 🙂
Yawn? I don’t even watch the B&B and the ad for this performance made me watch it. I miss Heather Tom from Y&R. Her performance was far more than crying about a break up. I wish she had stayed on Y&R. I think she should submit and win. There is nothing vain about giving credit where its due. And btw Robert, its wear, not where.
I was discussing this very same thing with several people today – that if she doesn’t use this as part of her Emmy reel she’s crazy…and that she could very easily make it 4 in a row next year. Amazing!
BINGO!!!!
Truly was a great performance…and I’m not a huge B&B fan or Heather Tom fan…but it was good work. Although, I’m not quite sure why we’re talking about Emmy’s now….the year is still young and there is lots of time for other actresses to have great moments on screen. I’m a firm believer that the same person should not win year after year….it’s not good for the Emmy show, if all the nominees and winners are that predictable.
I think the same person winning consec years is the least of what’s ‘not good for the Emmy show.’
Agree with you Torrey. It is a long time till the next Emmys. I see so many great performances all year by people who are never even nominated. Heather was fine yesterday but her performance was exactly what I expected. She’s been dojng that “scene” for several years now. Have seen it all before with her & she’s great but again-been there, done that.
Ooops, just saw today’s (Wed. July 3) show & boy Heather hit it out of the park! I spoke too soon yesterday. This show was heartbreaking & Taylor . . . Eric is pissed & rightfully so. What a mess.
Heather Tom certainly rendered Brooke and Dollar Bill speechless. Her emotional, chin quivering rage was epic and pure top entertainment. It looks like she is not done with her sister and husband and I wonder where her rage will take her. Liam and Hope’s attraction for her other may also take a hit for the affair of their parents. This could be where Wyatt comes in for Hope. It makes you wonder who’s left for Liam as he doesn’t seem to be reeling too much with Stephanie gone. Heather Tom is showing why she has so many emmys; she’s that good.
Guess Bill won’t have to take Katie dancing now.
That was good stuff. Feel bad for Katie. Maybe she can forgive Bill. I can’t see her forgiving Brooke.
KKL was also flawless,BROOKE’s emotions were perfectly reflected.Next year EMMY should go to KKL! she really ROCKED yesterday.
Now will Brooke grow up and change her ways? At 50 (or nearing), Brooke Logan — and Taylor Hayes — should stop this “mean girls” sort of gaming and be the strong women they are capable of being. It is always good storytelling to see one see the error of the ways and chart a path to redemption. I cannot think of anyone who would stand by Brooke after this comes to light. I mean, she destroyed Katie! I think Brooke could be so dynamic — actress KKL is very good — but the writing never serves her well. For once, I want to see an independent Brooke who does not need to have a man to stand behind. There are no more Forrester men to bed and I really think we’ve done the “mother steals daughter’s boyfriend” plot enough that is it done.
As for Katie, Heather Tom plays her to perfection. I would like to see Katie stronger, too, and this may be her wake-up call. She has been betrayed so many times — didn’t Donna steala boyfriend from her when they were teens early on in the series? — I want her to fight back. Take Spencer money and use her smarts to roar back. A sibling rivlary could fuel many plots until the day comes years down when they need to reunite.
I know this is soap opera, but I want stronger plots. B&B has to navigate some choppy waters with the departure of Taylor and Steffy. We could use fresher stories witht he little used characters. And bring back Ridge. We can accept an actor other than Ronn Moss.
I hate this story. It isn’t even new. Brooke takes one step forward and two back. I was hoping that Brooke would call Taylor on Taylor’s involvement with the Forrester men – Ridge, Thorne and Eric. Taylor is the new Brooke but no one seems to notice.
I was struck, watching the Monday and Tuesday episodes, at how far the show has come (and not in a good way). Both Brooke and Taylor are now repellent human beings. Brooke is such a ginormous slut that she can’t keep her underpants on even if it means hurting her sister, and Taylor is so blindly vindictive that she’ll risk devastating a patient in her quest to wound an enemy. Neither one of them has a shred of ethics, responsibility, or sense of proportion. Once upon a time, I used to like both of them a lot (and wonder what they saw in Ridge); now there’s nothing remotely likeable about either one of them (and Ridge’s callous treatment of both of them would not bother me in the least). Brooke’s behavior appalls me more at the moment, but neither one of them is winning any prizes, and Taylor’s degeneration into a harpy may make her the more repulsive one of the two, in the long run.
I was also disappointed in the writing, especially on Tuesday. There was actually an attempt to make it look as though Bill has a leg to stand on, and Katie sort of let him get away with it. I expected her to wipe the floor with both of them–after this kind of betrayal, they deserve it. I can only hope Katie comes roaring back today, but I kind of doubt it. She’s already let Bill get away with so much (such as when he locked her in the tower in the house a while back). It must be hard sometimes for Heather Tom, whose acting has always projected such strength, to portray such a wimpy character.
That said, HT knocked it out of the park, as she always does.
we need her as victoria newman.
I never watch a soap episode more than once but with the fantastic job that MS Heather Thom did ..I watched it twice. She was so real! It gave me goose bumps!
Guess I am going to disagree with everybody I thought KKL”s performance was subtle and moved me far more. I thought Heather Tom was over the top. I get real tired of Brad Bell making KKL an immature sex addict I give her kudos for taking the material no matter how insane it is and she made it work for me this time and I am so tired of him not letting her character mature. Just my two cents worth.
Well I must say that Katie is an amazing actress hands down. I really feel like the writer has put this woman through hell and back. Katie is just too sweet of a person to be with someone like Bill who will just keep ripping her heart out. I don’t think Bill wanting his family back will pan out. I don’t trust him. He will just use Katie to get back his company and have his control back. I don’t think Katie’s medical conditions, even though they say she’s alright now can last too long with the stress and emotional roller coasters of being with Bill. I would prefer that she finds true love with the new Ridge because Bill isn’t capable of truly loving anyone. He has no clue what love is. Same thing with Brooke. She doesn’t know what it means to love family, a man or herself. She thinks love is a good roll in the hay with a stallion. She’s pathetic and disgusting. She has the nerve to say she wants Katie to forgive her, after what she put her little sister through. What a heartless and self serving b!@$%. I’m glad in a way that Bill tossed her in the trash where she belonged when he was done with her. How low she must feel. How stupid she must feel going around like she’s the better woman for her sisters husband. Agreeing with every stupid thing Bill says and does to keep him in her bed even if it’s dangerous. She really tried to manipulate the guy with her act and her crocodile tears. My dear Katie has just gone through way too much and needs to be happy with that adorable little baby of hers. That beautiful little boy doesn’t need to be around such bad energy created from Bill and Brooke. I hate seeing her baby around that negative energy even if it’s acting, the baby doesn’t know. The baby gets fussy around it. I know that Katie wants her family back as well, but at what cost? I just have a bad feeling that Katie will get hurt again from Bill. This time he will have his company, house and control back and Katie won’t have any leverage. The only way it seems that a woman can be with a Spencer, is to control him in some way or out smart him to get his respect. Brooke gave away everything. She gave away her pride and self worth to bed her sister’s husband. Compared to Katie, Brooke is weak and doesn’t have much going for her except a beautiful house given by someone else’s husband she stole. She has nothing of her own.
It would be interesting now that Katie has proven she has the balls to stand on her own two feet, to still have control over the company and grant Bill access only if he behaves himself. It seems that’s the only way to get any good out of that douche bag, Bill. The Spencer men have to be controlled or they get out of control. Let’s just hope that Katie doesn’t get fooled into giving up power over Bill. I’s sad that Brooke is like 100 years old now and is still using s@x to steal husbands away. I guess it’s not that good anymore. Eric refused it when she tried to seduce him a month or two ago, and Bill used it, got bored and threw it in the trash can away to the recycle bin to be used by some unsuspecting victim. She really needs to close her legs. I would enjoy Katie laughing at her and telling her how right Stephanie Forester was, in calling her a slut from the valley. She should tell her that men only use her, but commit to real women. Katie is young and beautiful. Why would anyone want someone that old anyway, especially when they’re known world wide as the slut that had a baby by her daughter’s husband. Yuk.
Boo ooh..what’s this about katie katie katie. I love taylor she is the best an will always be the best..she plays a very important role on b&b..an katie has no right to throw her out..I just dnt like katie..that face of hers makes me sick..!she dnt deserve to win the emmy..but hunter tylo does..

Susan Flannery and Ian Buchanan Visit the Set of ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’; Daytime Emmy Winners Reflect on Show Then and Now

The one and only Susan Flannery (ex-Stephanie Forrester) dropped in to see her former co-stars on The Bold and the Beautiful at their Sunset Las Palmas Studio in Hollywood, along with her good friend and another B&B co-star Ian Buchanan (ex-James Warwick) on Tuesday October 20.
It was the first time in a very long time that The four-time Daytime Emmy winning actress was reunited with Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke), Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy), executive producer and head writer, Brad Bell, Jennifer Gareis and even her TV sister, Alley Mills (Pam, B&B now Heather, GH) showed up for the day too!
Flannery played the Forrester matriarch from 1987 until 2012. It was then that after playing the part of Stephanie for 25 years that Susan made the decision to retire from acting and in one of the most heartbreaking sendoffs, passes away from lung cancer in Brooke’s arms in November of 2012. During her B&B tenure, Flannery won 3 of her 4 Daytime Emmys, the other being for her first soap role as Laura Horton on Days of our Lives back in 1975.

As for Ian Buchanan, he played Dr. Warwick, psychiatrist, from 1993 to 1999. He returned for other runs in 2014 and 2017. Buchanan took home his Daytime Emmy in 1997 for his work as James. Soap fans also remember, Ian as mobster Duke Lavery on General Hospital, and Dr. Greg Madden on All My Children,
Both Susan and Ian shared their thoughts on coming back to The Bold and the Beautiful, for Susan 14 years later since he exited and for Ian close to 9 years since his last appearance below.
Susan said, “It’s definitely like coming home in a way, even though it’s not the same studio. It’s really lovely to see old faces and old faces with new faces. It takes you back mentally. You start remembering what it was like back then, even things like how much your feet would ache at the end of the day from wearing six-inch heels. It was just lovely to be back and see everybody.”

Ian expressed, “It’s a mind trip, you know. When I was sitting looking at the big Forrester set, it was like stepping back in time, almost. It takes you back mentally, and you start remembering what it was like when you were here before.”
“It’s lovely to see all these people again, even if you don’t know everybody,” explained soap vet Buchanan. “There’s something really special about coming back and seeing the show and the people who have been part of it for so long.”
So, happy to see Susan and Ian with some of their former castmates? Do you think Stephanie and Brooke is one of the greatest frenemy stories in daytime history? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.
Beyond the Gates
Tabitha Brown and Kandi Burruss Guest Star on ‘Beyond the Gates’ for Dani’s ‘Welcome to Your Life’ TV Special; What Could Go Wrong?

As it turns out, Brown will play the show’s host, Tia Allen, while Burruss takes on the role of Dani’s first modeling agent, Kalista Kilroy, who turns the celebration of her life into a bad trip down memory lane.

THE 411 ON TIA AND KALISTA
Speaking with TV Insider, about their soapy experience in Fairmont Crest, Tabitha Brown previewed about her host with the most, “Tia is very professional, but she’s a girl’s girl. She is a protector of women and wants to tell their stories in a beautiful way, but she also wants to make sure they’re seen in a very good light.”
However, Burruss previews that Kalista arrives with a score to settle. “She’s spicy,” shared the recording artist. “I always love playing somebody that has come to start trouble. It’s always fun to play a villain of sorts, but Kalista feels like she’s been done wrong and she’s hurt by what she feels has been done to her. So Kalista is stirring up trouble, but she feels justified putting Dani on blast. Kalista is ready for some payback.”
Beyond the Gates is produced by CBS Studios, as part of the CBS Studios/NAACP Venture, in partnership with P&G Studios, a division of Procter & Gamble. Created by head writer Michele Val Jean, executive producers include Val Jean, Sheila Ducksworth, Julie Carruthers, Tracey Thomson, Leon W. Russell, Derrick Johnson, Anna Saalfeld and Lela Coffey.
Beyond the Gates is broadcast weekdays on CBS (2:00-3:00 PM, ET/1:00-2:00 PM, PT) and is available to stream on Paramount+**.
So, looking forward to this special episode of Beyond the Gates when Dani is put on a blast during a blast from her past and Welcome to Your Life TV special? Share your thoughts via the comment section.

‘Days of our Lives’ Reveals Kyle Pryor Cast as Dominic Marino

For months now, Days of our Lives has teased the character of Dominic Marino. In recent weeks, viewers learned that Marino is on the down low working with Sami Brady’s (Alison Sweeney) apparent fiancé ‘Dante Vitali (Franco LoPresti), and that he is the never-before-heard-of child of Stefano DiMera (the late Joseph Mascolo) and Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall)!
Up until now, the Peacock streaming soap opera has never revealed his face, but that all seemed to change on the Tuesday, October 2o episode of DAYS. In story, Dante met Sami’s parents for the first time, Roman (Josh Taylor) and Marlena.
He shows them a photo of Dominic, which he happened to have on his own phone and even commented he kind of looked like he could be Marlena’s son. The photo, which has quickly made it around Soap Twitter/X, revealed that British-born actor Kyle Pryor is the man in the photo and eagle-eyed viewers actually located said photo on Pryor’s Instagram.

Deadline revealed Pryor started taping at the end of 2025 and will first be seen in the role, on air Monday, November 2. In addition, Days will celebrate its 61st Anniversary with two special episodes featuring Dominic’s arrival, as well the returns of Tony and Anna DiMera, played respectively by Thaao Penghlis and Leann Hunley, on Friday, November 6 and Monday, November 9.
Those in the know, are are that Pryor previously held series regular roles on Australia’s Home and Away, and the UK’s Hollyoaks and guest starred on Emmerdale.
