Monday's B&B: Taylor Blows The Whistle On Bill and Brooke's Ugly Secret! How Will Katie React?
Courtesy/CBS
Oh, oh! Taylor (Hunter Tylo) is in full stick it to Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) mode and thus sets the stage for a classic showdown! Viewers of The Bold and the Beautiful, who witnessed Friday’s episode of the CBS soap, saw that Taylor began to wreck the birthday celebration for Brooke by revealing to Katie (Heather Tom) and those in the room, that Brooke has an ugly secret!
And in a preview for Monday’s episode Taylor says to the room, “Do you to tell them Brooke? Or, do you want me to?” Taylor then says to Katie, “She slept with him. Your husband and your trust-worthy sister had an affair!” To which Katie responds, “No! That is not true!”
Ah, but it is Katie! But will it be revealed in total that not only did Bill (Don Diamont) and Brooke sleep together, but Brooke was carrying Bill’s child, before she miscarried?  The fallout could be huge!
What do you hope will happen on Monday’s episode? Brooke’s cover-up is exposed? Taylor to get shown the front door? Katie to tell everyone to go take a hike? Share your thoughts and watch a preview of Monday’s B&B after the jump!
Taylor should of minded her own business. The truth always comes out in the end.
I know this is a soap and therefore fantasy, but come on. A doctor violates patient Confidentially? That is just so wrong on so many levels. Not a Brooke fan and think someone needs to knock her squinty eyed ass off her pedestal but I don’t think that’s the right way to do it. Taylor needs to have major ramifications for her behavior. This storyline is so absurd. Brooke is away too old to get pregnant in the first place. Now I suppose she will end up with Eric and life will go pleasantly on for her. Give me a beak already.
oh god another story for heather tom to submit herself for another emmy.
Lawrence I think she should quit submitting she has 5 thought the same on the others that have several enough I wish they would make a new rule kinda like we should have term limits for politicians.
you sound bitter lawrence. heather tom is a wonderful actress. not good to be bitter. have a banana darling. you will feel better soon. cheer up lawrence . life is to short.
Maybe its because she has won in all actress categories. it is only 4 soaps on the air u know. let somebody else win already. judges gave her another emy for crying and being over the top. Melinda maybe if u get ur head out of heather toms ass, you will realize that other actresses that can act. key word act needs to be on the frontburner. she has won 5 already. do u want her 2 have 10
Chill out lawrence. Heather tom is a terrific actress. She deserves those emmys. Heather can act and she is a sweetheart. i have met heather tom twice. i hope heather gets nominated next year and wins again. Get used to it. heather is here to stay. you sound jealous lawrence. maybe you need to go out for a walk. clear your head.
Good on you lawrence.Just telling it how it is
I wish they would finally show Taylor for who she really is she’s no better than Brooke. She talks about Brooke sleeping with all the Froster men and she’s done the same thing including Brooke’s son Rick. I hope she loses Eric and he goes back to Brooke
Go Taylor! Go Katie! Slut of the valley needs to get hers
Hunter Tylo’s /Taylor’s last air date is Wednesday even HT was disgusted with this storyline. Maybe Taylor can catch the sail boat with Nick and sail into the sunset. Since Jack Wagner/Nick never got an exit story. This show is soooo bad!
I don’t really watch daily anymore for many reasons, but one of them is that Mr. Brad Bell has turned all his characters into cartoons. Brooke is the slut; Taylor the truth bearer. Katie is the innocent, and on and on. Just once Brad- give your characters some depth PLEASE.
So no I am not interested in watching Taylor expose Brooke once again, thinking everyone will thank her for it, but wait —let me guess, they will all turn against her and have sympathy for Brooke instead and Taylor is going to be outrage that Brooke gets away with it once again.
I agree with you, Marty SF. The writing, Emmy win aside, is so bad on this drama, and it was not always that way. I pray for an entriely new family to estabilsh itself and have some of these characters, legacy or not, be written out. The opportunity for a Brooke-Taylor frenemy relationship a la Viki-Dorian on OLTL was missed and never explored. this recent Brooke storyline seems so out of kilter with the redemption/new lease that came with being blessed to be with Stephanie at her death. Taylor has been written so poorly for years now. These are strong women. And what is with the near incest? B&B needs some help. I pray it comes.
Brooke and Taylor are both pathetic! They marry their way through families and judge the other. I am sorry, but there comes a time when a writer should create age appropriate stories! Pregnant at 50 something?! Come on!
So glad Taylor is leaving, I don’t like her character and I don’t like her and her fat lips!
Katie is going on the warpath; watch and see why she is so deserving of another emmy. Taylor’s leaving the show is a good thing as she is just so vengeful. Brooke, I am glad you are not my sister and Bill, I once had a husband like you. LOL
A lot of really personal and foul comments. Mr. Fairman, please get rid of the haters.
Taylor should keep her BIG MOUTH shut & let things happen naturally because they will in the end. I cannot believe how everyone forgets she SLEPT with Brooke’s father Steven & was engaged to Rick (when he was played by Kyle Lowder I think it was) RICK is Eric & Brooke’s son & Taylor was living with him! Also she was drunk & killed poor Darla & her stupid marriage to Nick along with desperation to have another baby ended up with her carrying a baby from Brooke’s eggs. OMG-she about went crazy when she realized! Where is that poor little boy? Where is RJ by the way? Eric and/or Bill should clap a hand over Taylor’s big lipped mouth & drag her out of the party. Even Thomas doubted (Doubting Thomas, funny, if I may say so myself) her motives & thought she should not go to the party. She is doing this for purely selfish reasons, not to help her “patient” Katie in any way. CANNOT WAIT TILL TOMORROW!
Enough with the actress bad mouthing she is gone july 3rd so please leave it alone you people are cruel they are only playing a part that is written by a one note writer.
Didn’t mean to offend k/kay! I really love Hunter Tylo & don’t want her to leave! Just sayin’ she’s really no better than Brooke in many ways & acts holier than thou. Like she’s never done anything horrible. And everyone, including Hunter knows what she’s done to her lips! ha. The show won’t be the same without her.
Gloria I will miss the character she was before she came back from the dead in 2005. When Brad brought her back he started writing her totally different when she first came on in 1990 she was nothing like that then he made her an alcoholic and very judging and sleeping with Brooke’s son although then he was played by Kyle Lowder so who could blame her. Lol I just think the show is awful now and yes HT did the Angelina Jolie lips she to me is still a very pretty woman.
I didn’t want Friday’s ep to end! Can’t wait for today’s ep.
I can’t stand Taylor, never could. Seems obvious with HT leaving that Eric will dump her- maybe for Brooke. The promo made it seem Katie was screaming at Brooke, but she could have been throwing Taylor out for telling ‘lies’.
actually I think Eric is going to claim he was the father of Brooke’s baby…. waiting…
That would be interesting!

‘The Bold and the Beautiful’s’ Heather Tom on Working with TV Son Crew Morrow: ‘I’ve Always Wanted to Play an Overprotective, Overbearing Mother’ (Exclusive)
In an ironic twist of fate, and only in the soaps, The Bold and the Beautiful’s Heather Tom’s (Katie Logan) on-screen son is played by Crew Morrow (Will Spencer), the now 21-year-old son of her former TV brother on The Young and the Restless, Joshua Morrow (Nick Newman).
For those who have followed the six-time Daytime Emmy-winning actress’ career, Tom began on Y&R back in 1990 as Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) and Victor’s (Eric Braeden) daughter Victoria Newman. She played the role until 2003. Four years later, she joined the cast of The Bold and the Beautiful and has been there ever since.
Next month, at the upcoming 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards, Heather might add two gold statuettes to her collection with nominations for Lead Actress in a Daytime Drama Series (which would be her record-breaking 7th for an actress), and one for being a part of B&B’s writing team.

WHICH MORROW IS IN THE ROOM?
In a new livestream conversation on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel, Heather recalled her reaction to seeing Crew Morrow on set when he started on B&B over two years ago, and pointed out the uncanny similarities between her TV son and her former TV brother.
“I just can’t even tell you how genetics is weird,” explained Tom. “Because it’s like they are the same person; the cadence and his voice and the way he laughs. When Crew was on the shows for the first couple of months, it would take me out of the scene. I would be like, ‘Oh, my God! It’s Joshua.’ It’s crazy. It’s so wonderful to have him. I love having him there. We’re so lucky to have Crew. I think he’s a wonderful addition to the Spencer family. I love that Bill (Don Diamont) and Katie’s son is on the canvas in a real way.”
In recent weeks, fans of The Bold and the Beautiful have seen a different side of Katie in regards to her son, Will. She simply does not approve, and does not trust Melissa Dylan (Sydney Bullock) as far as she can throw her. That puts a wrinkle in the mother/son relationship.

HEATHER TOM IS THRILLED THE CHARACTER OF WILL SPENCER IS ALL GROWN-UP
“Honestly, I’ve been waiting for this story since Will was born,” exclaimed Heather “To be like the overprotective, overbearing mother, momma bear, I love it!”
As for Katie’s attitude. which many feel may need an “attitude adjustment,” Tom has it all figured out on just how she is tackling her scenes! “I have all kinds of justifications for it,” reveals the multi-talented star.

KATIE SEES ALL SORTS OF RED FLAGS WITH DYLAN
“So. it’s not just Katie being the b-word,” proclaims Tom. “It’s that Will, her son, whom she loves and supports so much, has been constantly saying about Electra (Laneya Grace), ‘This is the love of my life. She’s broken my heart. I love her. All I want to do is get her back.'”
“So I think Katie could be like, ‘Okay, well, Electra’s a little flighty, but my son loves her, so I’m going to try to support that relationship,” explains Heather. “In addition, Will has never told his mother, ‘I love Dylan,’ at all. I think Katie is thinking of telling Will, ‘You should run, not walk, from this girl who seems somewhat obsessed!’ I don’t know where they’re going with the Electra/Will/Dylan triangle, but I think Katie’s very focused on Dylan for a multitude of reasons.”
So, do you like seeing Heather Tom as Katie going into overprotective momma bear-mode, now that the series has a major young triangle between Electra/Will/Dylan? What do you think about the fact that Heather has been a long-running scene partner with father/son across two different soaps in Joshua Morrow and Crew Morrow? Let us know in the comment section, and in case you missed it, check out our full conversation with Heather below.
There was never any doubt that in watching the riveting and emotional scenes on General Hospital which featured Finola Hughes as a PTSD-driven and mentally tortured Anna Devane, that when the climatic moments in Anna’s story aired, that we would not be singing the praises of Hughes. Once again, Finola showcased why she is one of the soap opera genres greatest assets and actresses.
In the key scenes, Anna has had a complete breakdown as she has lured and cornered Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) on Mount Emerson, and even thought through how she would kill her and cover it up, all thanks to hearing the voice and seeing a dead man, Peter August (Wes Ramsey). It’s visions of Peter that keeps egging Anna on to pull the trigger on Britt while in her delusional state.
Before Britt realizes that Anna trapped her in meeting her in Mount Emerson, she is very confused as to why she was all the way out in the boondocks to talk about what happened to her brother, Cassius Faison. However, Britt soon learned that what Anna was about to do is personal, and not professional, as she pulls the gun on her.

ANNA FIRES HER GUN IN GAME-CHANGING MOMENT
When Jason (Steve Burton) shows up to save the say, he tries to talk Anna off the ledge, begging her to not shoot Britt and make one of the greatest mistakes of his life. When Jason figured out Anna felt she needed to kill anyone related to Cesar Faison, he made her think twice, because that would mean, she also would need to end the lives of two of Maxie’s children, James and Bailey Lu.
Anna can’t stop seeing hallucinations of Peter pushing her to shoot Britt. Suddenly and completely overcome, Anna fires bullets straight in the direction of where she sees Peter as she declares this all must end tonight.
After the shots are fired, Anna realized what she had done and just sobbed and shook. It was a devastating and heartbreaking moment for longtime General Hospital fans to see the beloved Anna Devane, super spy, so lost. Anna explained to Jason, after he was able to disarm her, how she was being pushed to kill Britt by her visions of Peter.
EMMY-WORTHY SCENES FOR 2027
In another hankie-inducing moment, Anna just grabs Jason and breaks down in his arms. If these weren’t Emmy-worthy scenes, we don’t know what is, and it must be remembered by Hughes, General Hospital, and hopefully the voting body of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) when Emmy submissions and voting get underway in 2027 for the 54th annual Daytime Emmys.
From everything we noted above, to the sheer brilliance of her work, Michael Fairman TV names Finola Hughes, this week’s Power Performance of the Week.
Now let us know, do you agree with our pick of Finola? Were you moved to tears during the gut-wrenching scenes? Should Finola include these scenes in an Emmy submission in 2027, should she decide to compete for Lead Actress gold? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
General Hospital
RATINGS: ‘General Hospital’ Shows Most Gains in Total Viewers Week-Over-Week and Up in Key Demo
The ratings are out for the week of August 24-28 for your favorite broadcast television soaps, and it was ABC’s General Hospital which added the most total viewers and planted itself firmly in third place in its battle with Beyond the Gates in the key demos of women 18-49 and 25-54.
According to Soap Opera Network, all daytime dramas were up year-over-year, and General Hospital was joined by The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful with gains in their total audience viewership, while Beyond the Gates was only slightly off pace for the ratings week.
Let’s take a look at what had viewers tuning-in, starting with General Hospital, who added +79,000 viewers. While still under the 2 million viewers mark (which they can hopefully return in the coming weeks) their overall tally was an average of 1, 935,000 tuning-in, while still up year-to-year +136,000.
GENERAL HOSPITAL
In addition, GH while actually down from the previous week in the 18-49 ratings share, they still out performed Beyond the Gates for third place. However, GH was firmly in third place for the 25-54 ratings share.
The stories that were featured for the week included: Anna’s (Finola Hughes) PTSD and struggle with painful memories tied to Cesar Faison, and her concocting a plan to get rid of Britt (Kelly Thiebaud), Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) recording Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) threatening her, and later running into a severe threat from Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) regarding Kai (Jens Austin Astrup) and Drew’s (Cameron Mathison) shooting, and Drew enlisting Ava (Maura West) to gain leverage over Jack, which resulted in Ava drugging him, while Drew went snooping for the evidence Brennan had against him.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS
Y&R remained in the top spot amongst all the soaps once again with 3,062,000 tuning in, and up +35,000 for the week, while year-to-year still showing strong gains at +231,000 viewers. However, while Y&R remained #1 for the 25-54 ratings share, it fell to #2 in the 18-49 ratings share behind The Bold and the Beautiful.
In story for the week, Nick’s (Joshua Morrow) sobriety in rehab was a focus, as was Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) hitting the Jabot office couch and having sex for the first time, and Lily (Christel Khalil) and Billy (Jason Thompson) battling over control and ownership of Chancellor Industries.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL
B&B is continuing to be inch closer to Y&R for the top spot, separated by a little more than 300,000 viewers. For the ratings week, the series posted a total audience of 2,719,000 adding +31,000 eyeballs overall, and like Y&R, is up year-to-year in its performance.
The CBS soap now , now in its 40th season is +217,000 from the same time last year. In the key demos, The Bold and the Beautiful was in the top spot for the women 18-49 ratings share and number two for women 25-54.
In story, the major threat to Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Finn (Tanner Novlan) and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Daphne’s (Murielle Hilaire) marriages continued as Steffy and Carter swore they would not tell their spouses that the two had a drunken hook-up. But as viewers know now, Steffy is pregnant!

BEYOND THE GATES
Beyond the Gates tallied an average of 1,611,000 total viewers for the week, up +72.000 year-over-year and down slightly in tune-in for the week losing just -36,000 viewers. The CBS soap came in fourth place in the key demos for the week behind General Hospital, with whom they are often trading places for the third spot.
In story, after Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett) was released from the hospital, Hayley (Marquita Goings) stuck to her plan, doubling down on poisoning him and even getting caught in a major lie or meeting with Randy (Maurice P. Kerry), as Vernon (Clifton Davis) may be on to her machinations.
The ratings report is generated from Nielsen (Live+Same Day Big Data + Panel) for the week of August 24-28, 2026
