Very moving episode. It gave me a reason to like watching a character who had previously become more and more distasteful due to her incredibly obnoxious behavior, feeding into Rick’s insecurities.

The dialogue written by Patrick, from Monday’s episode between the actresses who play Maya and Nicole was brilliant! their acting shine , I was near tears watching their heartbreaking scenes ,as Maya try to explain what life was like for her being trapped in the wrong body. Karla Mosley, better win a Emmy for this new development in her character because in this episode alone, she played Maya with so many emotions, but also with a quiet dignity and strength. I know there will be more meaty scenes to come, especially with Rick and I have no doubt Karla and… Read more »

I am a huge supporter of opening people’s minds through strong’ thought-provoking storylines.” But sorry, folks, B&B jumped the shark on this one. Are we, longtime fans, supposed to forget the circumstances when Maya came to tte show? She was just out of prison and learned her daughter had been killed in a car accident!! How would that make sense with this ridiculous new storyline? And why not use an actual transgender actor for this storyline? It is a great idea, badly executed. Shamefully missed opportunity.

I don’t watch B&B, but my neighbor down the street does.She told me about this big transgender reveal on B&B. My neighbor was NOT happy about it! She said the show had “gone crazy” . (Her words, not mine.). It remains to be seen whether or not she will continue to watch the show. One thing is for sure, my neighbor is not a happy B&B fan right now!

Loving this already!

I thought it was well acted and well written. I am interested to know more about Maya’s backstory, such as her daughter.

Meanwhile, Katie is questioning if Rick wants to have kids with Maya. LOL

Can’t wait for Rick to find out. I don’t know that he will be down with it.

As an openly gay man myself, I am finding that the dialogue on this particular storyline has been top notch and on point. I am so impressed with B&B right now with their writing and the phenomenal acting that Karla Mosley (Maya) and Reign Edwards (Nicole) are doing with this storyline. If B&B really keeps up the good work with this storyline, I can see them winning their 4th Outstanding Drama Series in the show’s history in 2016. Karla will definitely be up for Lead Actress next year at the rate that she’s going with this story.

Mulcahey is one of the all-time great writers in daytime drama.He understands what soap operas are really all about and what makes them inspire such a devoted following.

The transgender community is extremely sensitive. Carmen Carrera went nuts when she decided that RuPaul using the term “she-mail” was offensive and sued. This could get interesting if “Bold and the Beautiful” makes one small move.

The transgender ladies will be all over CBS!

I think the writing in these scenes was amazing, some of the best writing on B&B in a very long time. It goes to show how much the show can shine when the focus is taken off love triangles and other madness revolving around Hope and Brooke. Karla Mosley was outstanding in these scenes, which could easily win her an Emmy next year, and Reign Edwards is also doing very well. For a soap newcomer who’s been given such heavy material so soon since she joined the cast, she is doing a great job.

As an openly gay man myself

standing ovation… B&B

tons of applause

Jacob Young… no holds barred : will take hold of this … and I foresee a rough tumultuous humane flight….

hitting his stride with every emotion… from a to z with and without Maya

I’m speechless

Way too many holes in this storyline. So where does all of this fall in with Maya’s righteous indignation to everyone about how she always has Rick’s back and has never lied to him, this seems like a pretty big one to me.

And what about her “always have been upfront with who I am and what I want”? Really?

I just watched Monday & today’s episodes I thought they were well done and he explained her back story the issues that were discussed all week. If the transgender community get’s offended over this then they are just looking for something to complain about. And this is coming from a viewer who most of the time is not real thrilled with Brad Bell. As for everyone who is saying Rick would have to know please remember this is a soap opera if we can watch plastic surgery to come back as a different person or a mask etc then you… Read more »

If she was a women trapped in a men’s body, would their not be scaring from surgery? Maya & Rick have made love many places, not in the dark. And the child, the only thing that kept her alive while she was in prison? Was she the father? I have more questions than answers. Anyone else?

Loved Patrick Mulcahey’s work when he worked on Guiding Light years ago. He adored Nancy Curlee, and we all miss her writing everyday!

I have to admit the acting was pretty good and solid. It explains her character much better.

I love B&B and have from a child lol. I think it’s a great story line but if your like me watching the show when mosley character (maya) 1st appeared she did time in jail & her daughter died, but now she was born a man. So was her whole back ground a lie? Because she had pictures. Was the pictures of her little girl was really her sister when she was little? I would love to see how it all comes together though.

You Writers are unrealistic, you just could not let a Black Beautiful Woman, be with a rich White Man!!! You have lost quite a few fans here in Galveston,County, Texas….AMEN

Sorry but I’m not into gays or transfer. I just wanted B&B soap back. Can’t help but feel with their protests & parades &always in the news. That it’s being shoved down our throats. Who cares what gender you prefer I for one do not CARE. Keep out of the soaps, is nothing private or sacred anymore?? Further mote I can’t stand this actress!!! Sorry but after 20 yrs It’s time to stop my dvr recordings of B&B.

Yes ..I am sooo desperate to know ..What the outcome of Maya and Rick’s gonna be ..!! Pleasz keep me posted ..B&B…!!! CAN’T WAIT …!!!

very dissapointed in the show to write this about Myra,i always looked as the show as being wrote with good morals,not no more !

Waiting for Jacob Young as Rick to just “blow it up”. I predict that after the truth about Maya comes out Rick will become a new jack J.R. Ewing. If you think he’s off the hook now just wait!!

Even though it’s a lie and Rick always has to have honesty or else, just because everybody thinks Rick will dump her, the writers will twist it around Rick will still love Maya. Just for the fact to show us all that it doesn’t bother everybody to love a transgender, but what really will make me mad is Rick dumping Caroline because she “WAS A LIAR” and not honest with him, and he stays with Maya even though she wasn’t honest with him, I will be so stinking mad. If Maya is so proud of who she is, why has… Read more »
