It’s a very busy time for five-time Daytime Emmy winner Heather Tom (Katie) on The Bold and the Beautiful! First, the actress revealed on Saturday via her Instagram account that she is indeed prepping to direct her second episode of the CBS daytime drama series.

Heather will be directing this Wednesday on February 3rd, while viewers will see that episode air on March 14th.  In her social media post she expressed: “Just sitting here doing some work for next week! #director”

But at the same time as she is busy behind the camera, Katie has major story coming up that kicked-off this week when she found her sister Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) professing her love for her husband Bill (Don Diamont).  Later, When Brooke finds her almost passed out on the floor at Spencer Publications,  after Katie took a drink to calm herself after overhearing Bill and Brooke, Katie reams Brooke for wanting to steal her husband.  Then, Katie reads the riot act to Brooke, and basically tells her she is no better than a common hooker!

Watch Katie laying the smackdown on Brooke after the jump.  Then let us know … are you glad to see that B&B is letting Heather direct more episodes of the soap?  What were your thoughts on Katie telling off Brooke?  Heather shared in a tweet last week that the story is not going to be the same ole’ same ole’ triangle,  so what twist do you see coming next? Share your thoughts in the comment section below!

I don’t even watch B&B but Heather Tom is always on target in her scenes. That girl is spectacular. Kudos to her for a great display of her acting chops once again. Her acting reel from last year’s Daytime Emmys was just out of this world great. And this should earn her another. Bravo!

I love her acting and it’s so real and great to see that she enjoys her work. I hope she stays with Bill or if not someone new that really loves her. I hope to see her son on the show soon.

Great acting by Heather Tom and Katherine Kelly Lang… but here we go again. Just when it seemed like Brooke was going to be given a good story-line…she’s back to being the fall guy!!!

What about Bill??? He started it! And let’s not forget about Dishonest, Selfish, Manipulative, Self-righteous Ridge!!! He used women, is currently concealing a lie from his son about his unborn “grandson”. But oh right! Remember he dropped Brooke because she was dishonest and he wanted a peaceful life! Such Crap!

When are these double standards going to end for my favorite characters..Brooke Logan, Sharon Newman, etc.

I think I’m going to take another break from B&B; Y&R.

Also…what is Michael Muhney doing these days! He was wonderful. Black listed it seems unfortunately!!

Ollie, I couldn’t agree more… Y&R’s Sharon and B&B’s Brooke are the heart of each show, and the actresses deserve much praise and Emmy glory!

Now, Michael Muhney was an awesome actor! It’s reprehensible the way he was treated. Talk about being a fall guy…

I don’t like Brooke at all. I especially hate the triangles she’s always in but this story with Katie who is always playing the victim. Maybe she should remember the wedding Brooke & Ridge we’re having when she pretended to pass out just to keep them from getting married. I wish Brooke would have slapped her back because she needs it. If I could give Katie advice I would say get a backbone and stop playing the victim with the heart condition & if I could give Brooke advice I would say you don’t need a man and for gosh sake the next time poor victim Katie slaps you, SLAP HER BACK.

Why are they repeating this already “done to death” storyline?!?!?! The Bold and The Beautiful can be very Monotonous & Slow and sometimes it takes a lot out of me to remain a fan of this show, but that’s just a personal struggle.

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.
