Jack catches Todd with Dorian’s safe open, and he slips the gun into his pocket. Todd takes the gun and leaves, ready to shoot Victor. Tea tells her husband that he’s still the man she loves. They go upstairs to make love.  Someone breaks into the house with the gun. Starr and Dani talk over the huge events in the Manning household and get into a fight about Todd vs Victor. They eventually make up. To Rex’s surprise the stripper at the Spotted Pony is Kim, going by the name of Gigi. Rex explains about Gigi’s death, etc., and that he’s seen Gigi and consulted a psychic who led him here. She tells Rex she can’t help him. He leaves – but first sees another vision of Gigi, who tells him not to give up on her. Kim then goes to a hospital room and tells an unseen person in the bed that Rex was in town. Ford and Jessica pull out of the kiss and Ford tries to apologize. Jessica suggests that since it’s so hard for him to deal with missing Tess, they shouldn’t see each other. He reluctantly agrees.

Joey and Kelly prepare to say goodbye to Llanview and move to London.  Aubrey returns her engagement ring and learns that Joey is leaving town with Kelly and wishes them the best.  Elsewhere, Kelly gives John the news of her imminent departure and urges him not to let his pride get in the way of a possible future with Natalie. Bo visits Asa’s grave on the anniversary of his death.  There he runs into Renee, and the two have a heart-to-heart about the state of the family and Bo’s feelings that he’s let them all down. Clint settles into life at Llanfair, but broods that house arrest prevents him from keeping up a tradition he’s begun since Asa’s death, which requires his presence at the mansion.  Clint compels Nigel to help him slip out and go to the mansion anyway, thus violating the terms of his sentencing.  Rex returns to Llanview.  Rex tells Natalie about his run-in with Kim.  Natalie extracts a promise from Rex that he’ll keep Kim’s whereabouts a secret especially from Clint.  Rex goes on to say that he saw Gigi again.  She urged him not to give up.  Natalie suggests that the meaning behind Gigi’s statement is that he shouldn’t give up on his life.   Kim visits the bedside of her mysterious friend and tells her about Rex’s surprise visit to The Spotted Pony.  Kim, made aware of Clint’s reversal of fortune, decides to risk the wrath of David, return to Llanview and take another shot at her ex-husband. Dorian’s career aspirations do not mesh with David’s but he chooses to sacrifice his career to stand by Dorian.  Dorian is rattled after a visit from John which sends Dorian on a mission to complete one last bit of business.  At EOD:  John comes face to face with Natalie. Viki, Joey and Kelly discover that Clint has disappeared. Rex asks Gigi for a sign that Natalie’s interpretation of her last message is correct; then Clint and Nigel arrive.  Kim arrives at La Boulaie to see David. A bedside photo of the person in the Kentucky hospital room implies her true identity.

Caught off guard by his father’s sudden visit, Rex is inclined to throw Clint out, but Clint explains he only wants to honor Asa.  Knowing the police will soon be following Clint, anyway, Rex relents and the father and son have a small bonding moment.  Having been alerted about Clint’s “escape,” Bo shows up, followed by Joey, Kelly, and Natalie.  Rex leaves them to share a toast to Asa’s memory.  Rex visits Gigi’s grave and admits that after his disappointing visit to Kentucky he may have to accept that she’s truly gone…but then he witnesses something that makes him think twice. Joey wonders if living under the same roof will rekindle Viki and Clint’s relationship. Determined to win Clint back, Kim implores David not to share with Clint the damning information he has on her.  David agrees and at EOD Kim comes face to face with her ex-husband Clint.  Brody makes a threat to keep his secret safe. Natalie returns the blank tape to John, who was affected by Kelly’s urging him to move forward with Natalie and asks about her meeting with Delphina.  Natalie tells him about the psychic’s claim that Todd knows what was on the tape.  The Cramer women of Llanview have a surprise farewell party for Dorian.

Victor arrives at The Sun where he disgustedly hurls his name plate (bearing the name Todd Manning) off of his desk. Brody enters to ask Victor to keep quiet about Liam being John’s son. Brody wants to keep his family together, but Victor is no longer sure he wants to keep this a secret. Even though Victor hates John, he knows the pain of not knowing who you really are. Look at him; his mother lied to him and now his whole world has been turned upside down. Brody threatens to take Victor down if Victor says anything as Victor’s secretary walks in. Victor refuses to reveal what he plans to do. Later Victor grabs his phone to call John while looking at a copy of Liam’s paternity test. At the police station John heeds Kelly’s advice and dances around the subject of getting back together with Natalie. Natalie returns Gigi’s tape and says Delphina couldn’t get a hit off of it, except that Victor may know something. Whatever is on that tape is about Liam. John summons the courage to tell Natalie that he still cares about her, but they are interrupted by a call from a realtor, who has an apartment ready for Natalie and Brody to look at. John wishes Natalie well and walks away. Later John becomes suspicious when Brody says he already asked Victor about Gigi’s tape and Victor knew nothing.

Inside Bo’s office Bo calls Matthew to tell him he loves him, even though the doctors say there hasn’t been any change in his condition. David arrives to tell his pa that he will be going away for a few months. Bo is proud of David for achieving his acting dream and hugs his son.   Clint is pleased to see Kim, who is also happy to see her old cowboy. Kim says she had to see him as Clint reveals he knows Kim didn’t cheat on him. What did David have on Kim that made her leave? Kim avoids the question by asking about Clint’s health. Clint reveals he has missed her and had people looking for her. Where has she been and why did she come back? Kim seems ready to tell Clint the truth when Natalie enters. Natalie grabs Kim and physically throws her out.

Dorian is surprised to see Viki at the mayor’s office. Viki admits she heard Dorian was heading to Washington, D.C., so she wanted to say good-bye. However, Dorian has some choice words for Viki, namely why did she let Clint serve his prison sentence in her home? Doesn’t Viki care that Clint had David sent away and almost killed him? Viki defends her decision; Clint is the father of her children. She can’t turn her back on him. Dorian closes the door to continue her argument. Viki finally has had enough and tries to leave, but discovers the door is locked — from the outside. She turns to Dorian and the women laugh as they realize they are once again trapped together without any phones or a way to contact the outside world. Viki and Dorian realize once again they are both best friends and enemies. Dorian refuses to call them frenemies; that is not what they are! Dorian says Viki will be bored without her. Viki replies Dorian will get into so much trouble without her looking after her. Viki calls Dorian a friend and says she loves her in a very odd way. Dorian tears up; she hates that Viki got to be the bigger person first! (Aw.) They admit they will miss each other and toast to each other as we are treated to a montage of Viki and Dorian’s greatest moments. David bursts in and tells Dorian to step away from his BFF! Viki shares one last good-bye with Dorian and hugs David. Viki wipes the tears from her eyes as Dorian and David go to grab their limo.

At the cemetery Rex shows Gigi’s tombstone to Natalie. Her date of death has been scratched off! Natalie thinks some vandals did it, but Rex is convinced it is a sign from Gigi. She is trying to tell him that she is alive! Natalie gently tells Rex that she saw Jared after his death, but it was just a dream. Still, if Rex needs to believe Gigi is alive, she will support him. Rex insists Gigi is not a product of his over-active imagination. He is positive she is alive somewhere and is determined to bring her home. He and Shane need her! Victor is trying to work at The Sun when Todd barges in. Todd tries to kick his brother out, but Victor refuses. This is still his newspaper! Todd argues that it is HIS newspaper. In fact everything Victor has belongs to Todd. Victor taunts Todd; if he wants everything back, he is going to have to kill him. Todd touches the gun hidden in his pocket and assures Victor that can be arranged. Tea arrives at La Boulaie to compare notes about the two Todd’s with Blair. Both are shocked by the turn of events, but soon they are bickering when Tea reveals she still loves Victor and thinks Victor deserves to continue to live the life he has been living. Blair argues that it’s Todd’s life and Victor needs to step aside. Their argument is cut short when Bo calls to say there is a skirmish at The Sun.

Bo arrives at The Sun just in time to stop Todd from pointing his gun at Victor. He orders Todd to leave since he has yet to prove legally that The Sun — and everything else — belongs to him. Blair and Tea arrive. Blair takes Todd back home while Victor asks Tea if there is a way to make Todd legally go away. Tea isn’t sure, but warns Victor that Todd won’t stop until he gets everything back. Victor growls if Todd wants a war, then he will get one! Meanwhile Blair works to calm Todd down, who is furious with Victor. Blair assures Todd that she will get him an excellent lawyer, but Todd mumbles to himself that he doesn’t need one when he has a gun.

Rex arrives to Bo’s office to ask him to exhume Gigi’s body. He needs to know if she is in there or not! Bo advises against this, saying Shane wouldn’t want this, but Rex argues that if Gigi is alive, then he needs to bring her home to Shane! Brody arrives at the Buchanan mansion where Shane tells him that he needs his help. He wants to make Victor and Jack pay for Gigi’s death. Shane thinks Jack’s guilt is a sure indictor that he was responsible for Gigi’s death and wants Brody to help him set up a sting to make Jack confess. Brody admonishes Shane, saying Gigi didn’t raise him to seek revenge. He is confident Victor and Jack will get what is coming to them eventually. Kim arrives at the cemetery where she kneels in front of Gigi’s grave and touches the scratched out date of death. A groundskeeper notices her and thinks it’s a pity that Gigi died so young. Kim scampers away when she hears Bo and Rex arrive. Under Bo’s direction, a crew digs up Gigi’s coffin. Bo hesitates and asks Rex if he wants to see Gigi’s body. Rex insists that he does and is hit when he sees Gigi’s dead body. Unfortunately Shane arrives and is appalled by what he sees. Why would Dad do this? Rex apologizes and resolves to put the whole “I think Gigi is alive” behind him. After they leave, Kim comes out of hiding. She takes some roses from Asa’s grave and puts them on Gigi’s, saying they are better off here.

WWE ‘Night of Champions’ Shocker: Sami Zayn Pins Cody Rhodes for Undisputed World Heavyweight Title

Published

on

By

After a decade in WWE, Sami Zayn is finally living his dream, at least for now, as the new Undisputed WWE champion.

In an absolute stunning ending to the Saturday, June 27 Night of Champions PLE streaming on ESPN live from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Zayn pinned Cody Rhodes to win the triple-threat match over Rhodes and Gunther.  The crowd was mostly behind Zayn given his Syrian-descent, but who was born in Canada.

Cody Rhodes’ third WWE title reign has come to an end, Gunther took his frustration out on his own loss on WWE SmackDown GM, Nick Aldis, backstage after the match, which led to an altercation leading everyone to speculate Aldis will come out of ring retirement to face Gunther at August’s SummerSlam. Meanwhile, the future for Rhodes is less clear. Will this be the time that he finally turns heel? Stay tuned.

As the cameras rolled, and as Zayn was making his way back up the ring ramp with the title belt, he shared, “A lot of folks said I would never win the WWE championship. But I stand here tonight in front of my people, the WWE Champion. Twenty-plus years in the game at the highest level, never got the recognition. Ten-plus years chasing this championship… I don’t care what happens to me tomorrow, next week, next month, next year. Forever, I will be Sami Zayn, WWE champion.”

THE RULER IS NOW THE KING

Meanwhile, in other key Night of Champion match-ups: The Men’s King of the Ring was crowned when Oba Femi defeated Jey Uso. Now, earning his title shot at SummerSlam, will he pick Zayn or Roman Reigns as his opponent?

In the Women’s Queen of the Ring after being cursed by Danhausen, Liv Morgan lost to Iyo Sky, who then turned around after being named Queen of the Ring to tell Morgan she looks forward to wrestling her again for her title at SummerSlam.

Elsewhere on the card, Trick Williams retained his Men’s United States Championship over Ricky SaintsTiffany Stratton bested Jade Cargill to retain the Women’s US Championship with the help of a belt to the face by Charlotte Flair to Cargill, in a crazy finish, with multiple women popping up from under the ring apron including: Chelsea Green, Michin and B-Fab.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR SETH?

In the best match of the night, Seth Rollins defeated Bron Breakker in a steel cage match which saw both men go to extremes to take down the other. While Rollins now needs to move on to a new program away from The Vision revenge story, Breakker, who showed what a phenomenal athlete and performer he is once again, also should move on to a singles competition.

During the post-show interview on ESPN, Rollins reminded the audience what is true. He never lost the WWE championship currently held by his nemesis Roman Reigns. Seth had to vacate it due to his shoulder surgery. Will we finally be on the road to “The Shield” rematch years in the making between Reigns and Rollins, or will that need to wait till WrestleMania 43, which will also take place in Riyadh in 2027?

So many questions coming out of WWE Night of Champions! Take a look at some of the highlights below.

Now let us know, were you shocked to see Sami Zayn pin Cody Rhodes for the WWE Undisputed World Title? Glad for Oba and Iyo? How would you grade the night? We give it a B+.  Let us know via the comment section.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Britt and Rocco Say Their Goodbyes, Then She Gets Arrested; Anna Reveals “Nathan West” is an Imposter

Published

on

By

On the Friday, June 26 episode of General Hospital, emotional moments, a new duo on the run, the end of the line for Britt and an eye-opening moment between Anna and Felicia were the order of the day. Let’s take a look at what went down, but first let’s give a round of applause for Kelly Thiebaud (Britt) and Finn Carr (Rocco) on their goodbye scenes.

In the story, Rocco insists to his parents, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and Lulu (Alexa Havins) that he wouldn’t leave Tortola without Britt. Dante is getting impatient because Britt brought all the trouble in recent months to his son. They need to protect him and they can’t if he stays with Britt. Lulu tells Britt she is the only one who can do the right thing, right now.

Britt explained it is too dangerous for Rocco to stay with her. She was very selfish and made a lot of terrible decisions along the way and Cullum is tracking her down because she did not finish the project he enlisted her for. She convinces Rocco to go with his parents and gives him a little token of something that reminded her of when he was a baby which is a bottle to blow bubbles with.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF

Rocco makes Britt promise to take her medication to ward off her Huntington’s disease symptoms and to keep changing locations so she is not caught. The two share a final hug as both are in tears. Dante makes a call. While in the car ready to leave Britt behind, Rocco says he will never forgive himself is something happened to Britt.

Back inside, Britt is ready to inject herself with her medication but is unaware that Cullum has now tainted it with poison! But she is saved from that, when two police officers burst through the door to arrest her for kidnapping charges! Did Dante call the local police? Is he doing this to keep her safe or to pay her back?

In Port Charles, Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) arrives at Crimson, completely unaware that the man in the elevator is following her. Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Charlotte have an argument about Willow (Katelyn MacMullen). Suddenly, Willow calls her mother that she is being questioned by the PCPD, and Nina learns, it is as a suspect for being the other driver that left Jordan and Curtis injured by the side of the road on Route 91.

ARRIVALS AND DESTINATIONS IN QUESTION

Chase (Josh Swickard) comes to Willow’s rescue much to Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Justine’s (Nazneen Contractor) chagrin. Willow learns Lucy  and Drew are the supposed witnesses against her. Chase figures out when Joe (Jonathan Bennett) was alone with Drew, he got him to blink in a way that implicated her. However, in a shocking moment, Justine reveals that the trip log from Willow’s BMW SUV placed her at the scene of the accident just second before it occurred.

Meanwhile, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) comes by Crimson to see Charlotte. He says he broke into the WSB office to get info to expose Cullum as a double agent. Charlotte blows a gasket! She can’t believe that he would do something so stupid that it could have gotten him killed. She firmly tells Danny that best thing he can do to help Jason is to stay out of things. Danny storms out, but notices the stranger in the elevator who now steps into the Crimson lobby.

The man tells Charlotte he is Agent Mark McKay with the WSB and he has orders to bring her in. When she resisted, he was about to chloroform her, when Danny knocked him out and took off with Charlotte.

ANNA PUTS HER TRUST IN FELICIA

In France, after having some private time with Emma (Braedyn Bruner), Anna (Finola Hughes) wants to talk to Felicia (Kristina Wagner). She tells her best friend she was trying to figure out what memories of her past with Faison, she could trust and not trust. Since Felicia knows her best she is hoping she can believe what she is about to tell her.

It is then that Anna says, “Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) is not who he says he is.” Felicia looks dumb-founded. Will she believe her friend … or think she has drummed this all up in her mind? Stay tuned.

So, what did you think about the goodbye scenes featuring Finn Carr and Kelly Thiebaud? Did you reach for the hankies? Do you believe that soon, Cassius will be caught for his duplicity and the truth about Britt’s “illness” will come to light? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section below. But first check out the scenes featuring Anna on her road to recovery in France

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Hope Floors the Runway and the Forresters!

Published

on

By

FINALLY! The Friday, June 26 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful revealed that Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) is officially the lead designer of “Logan’s” new line, sending her mother Brooke Logan Forrester (Katherine Kelly Lang), Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and others into a tailspin!

It’s been weeks of flip-flopping for Hope, not sure if she should leave Forrester when Steffy finally told her they were putting a focus on “Hope for the Future,” in the near term. But, she finally stuck to her guns and with Liam (Scott Clifton) by her side, propping her up and making her see that even if it hurts her mother now, eventually Brooke will see what a great businesswoman her daughter has become.

As the models walk the runway at Katie’s (Heather Tom) fashion show, and as the Forresters watch the livestream (which Liam said is being watched by 4 million people?), Wyatt (Darin Brooks) shows up to tell Hope and Liam that the “rock” is ready to go.

HOPE FOR THE FUTURE DIAMOND BACK AROUND HOPE’S NECK

Suddenly, Hope is stunned when they surprise her with the “The Hope for the Future Diamond!”Liam explains that Wyatt tracked it down. They wanted her to wear it. (But isn’t this the fake diamond?) Hope is beyond touched and fastens it it around her neck as the models make their final walk.

Next, Katie takes to the runaway amid thunderous applause and introduces Deke (Harrison Cone) who takes a bow with his dad, Deacon (Sean Kanan) in the audience who stands up for his son, then realizes he is the only one doing so. He quickly sits down.

In the CEO office of Forrester where everyone is gathered, Katie announces another surprise at the show and during the livestream. She wants everyone to meet the other half of the line. And as Katie put it, “The spirit that drives it, the creative visionary with an imprint so profound that they named the collection after her… Hope by Logan!” Brooke’s jaw-drops going, “What???”

Next, Katie intros Hope wearing the ‘Hope For the Future Diamond,’ and Hope takes to the runaway and struts her stuff. Meanwhile, Brooke, who is stunned says out loud, “What are you doing there? What is happening?” We fade to black.

Are you glad Hope stuck to her guns (after all the wishy-washy-ness) and became the lead designer at “Logan?” Do you hope Hope and Brooke have a major mother/daughter blowout? Are you looking forward to a scene where Hope and Steffy have it out over this? And will Katie and Brooke have another massive fight? What did you think of the fashion? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
