Stephanie Forrester Has A Few ‘Choice’ Words For B&B’s Brooke On Her Wedding Day To Ridge, As Susan Flannery Returns As The Voice Of Stephanie!

Courtesy/CBS
This week on episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) tied the knot yet again, and this time at the Forrester mansion.
On Friday’s installment, there was an extra special touch and voice to the proceedings.
Susan Flannery returned as the voice of Stephanie in the Forrester matriach’s painting above the mantel in the Forrester mansion living room.
In story, when Brooke walks towards the painting missing and thinking about her old friend, once nemesis, Stephanie … suddenly the painting is speaking to her. Stephanie calls Brooke, “The slut of the valley” and that makes Brooke realize it is Stephanie reaching out to her from beyond the grave. All in all, Stephanie wants to ensure that Brooke will look after her son, Ridge, and to also ensure that no one displaces her from the mantel ever again!
Katherine Kelly Lang delivered another touching, funny, and poignant performance while carrying on the tradition of the enduring Stephanie and Brooke relationship that lasted over two and a half decades on-camera on The Bold and the Beautiful.
Watch the moments after the jump! Then let us know what you thought of the Bridge wedding and the Stephanie and Brooke scene in the comment section below!
I would have been ok with Bridge’s 90th wedding attempt, if the writing wasn’t so over the top about how they’re destiny. B&B should know better, mainly that their audience aren’t idiots. We know that six months ago, Brooke married Bill, whom Brad Bell had described as the love of her life in an interview, and two months before that, she was engaged to marry Ridge, who was hot for his step-mother. Ridge married Caroline and told her he had never known love like that before, and before her, he’d been engaged to Katie, and he’d dumped Brooke for her! Come on now. And why were the Avants and Coco, people who didn’t know Bridge at all, revellng in their love as if they’d witnessed it first-hand? Did B&B forget that just a few weeks ago, Thorne, Rick and Maya were gnashing their teeth at Brooke forgiving Ridge for all he’d done to her?
I guess if I had to sum it up, I’d say that the production values were terrific, although they need to pick a new set for weddings to take place. But the writing was over the top, and ridiculous with everyone forgetting all the non-Bridge romantic history these two had had, with many of the same people in the wedding party!!
BETH……..WELL SAID…
Although I never took to Thorsten Kaye as Ridge, I did enjoy the moment between Brooke and Stephanie. It brought back a lot of good memories of the old days, and the wonderful love hate relationship that will forever be the mainstay of the two of them. It was nice to have Susan Flannery back, even if it was a few minutes of a voice over. It was a touching scene and it added to the moment. It would be nice for old time sake to see one of Stephanie’s patented face slaps. As I always said, Susan Flannery, in my opinion, was and always will be the queen of the soap opera face slap.
I agree. I never took to Thorsten Kaye as Ridge, either.
So very true! They all love Brook so much forgetting she has had sex with the whole family! Lol
Well, that could explain why the men in the family love her! 😉
Stephanie should have said I do not care who you marry these two guys are not my sons one has a Irish accent the other a Australian
That is hilarious!! Very true.
I truly enjoyed the whole story line
I truly hope this time be the last time that Ridge and Brooke get married.
I would like to see a married couple stay together, grown old together.
I would like to see real life issues
I agree the voice of Susan F was the icing on the cake.
It was a great show
I really enjoyed the wedding and all of the extras
Forgiveness is really a powerful thing, and it is something that should be presented on the Soaps.
Thank you
And in three weeks, they will be divorced…? Sigh. If this is destiny, then let Ridge and Brooke be the new core couple and let them be. So over B&B weddings. They mean nothing.
I enjoyed the episode.
Loved it! So nice to hear Susan’s voice.

Lucas Adams and Tamara Braun Written Out of The Young and the Restless

It looks like the current run of Lucas Adams (Noah) and Tamara Braun (Sienna) on The Young and the Restless is coming to an end, after the Monday, August 3 edition of the CBS daytime drama revealed that Noah and Sienna are leaving Genoa City and heading back to Los Angeles.
In the storyline, Noah informed his mother, Sharon (Sharon Case) and half-sister Mariah (Camryn Grimes) that he and Sienna made the decision to move back to the West Coast to put distance between themselves and Matt Clark (Roger Howarth). Although Noah did not say it was a permanent move, he did assure his mom that once Matt is hopefully gone from Genoa City they could return.
However, as previewed already on the video teaser for this week’s episodes of Y&R (see below), it appears Noah left Genoa City’s The Shadow Room to be run by a returning Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian). So with that, coupled with today’s episode, it would appear the move could wind up being more permanent.

COMINGS AND GOINGS
Adams made his Y&R debut on November 4, 2025 as the successor to Rory Gibson who last played Noah on-screen in April of 2023. Earlier in 2025, Gibson took over the role of Michael Corinthos on Genera Hospital replacing Chad Duell, who stepped away from the part after 15 years.
Braun who played Adam’s mother on Days of Our Lives when she was Ava Vitali and he was Tripp Dalton, first appeared on Y&R back on October 14, 2025, where we soon learned she had become Noah’s lover as the new character, Sienna Bacall. It should be noted, Adams was on contract with the number #1 soap, while Braun has been on recurring status.
With Josh Griffith now exited as head writer of The Young and the Restless, and the newly announced co-head writing team of Jamey Giddens and Dan O’Connor having taken his place and starting their new tenure this week, it will be interesting to see how the duo resets the show, and if a Noah and Sienna return is in the cards for the future or not.
So, what do you think about the seeming departures of Lucas Adams and Tamara Braun from The Young and the Restless? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, check out our recent live chat with Tamara and Lucas on the Michael Fairman Channel.

Rosie O’Donnell Says She Will Return to ‘The View’ During its Season 30

Rosie O’Donnell revealed that she plans to head back to a seat at the table of ABC’s morning talk show The View.
The announcement came during Monday’s episode of The Tangle Podcast where she shared she will participate in “in whatever way they want” her or “just as a guest” for its upcoming 30th season.
The View’s season 30 will kick-off this fall in September. O’Donnell explained, “They’re bringing back all the hosts, I think. And, you know, I’m pretty proud of that show, what it’s become and how it really speaks to the people and to politics.”

ROSIE ON HER PREVIOUS GO-ROUNDS ON THE VIEW
As fans of The View know, O’Donnell famously had two different one-year stints on the talk show in 2007 and again in 2014- 2015. She often feuded with then co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
However, during her discussion with host, Kyle Ridley on The Tangle Podcast, O’Donnell also noted she often had tense moments with longtime moderator and anchor, Whoopi Goldberg.
O’Donnell also expressed, “Many, many people got the short end of the stick there. It was, you know, it was a factory where people were being churned in and out and their tenuous security, nobody got to be calm. It also was a show at the time that was run by a man. A show created by a woman, for women, about women, and the man was deciding what we should talk about. And that didn’t sit right with me, you know.”
Back in 2023, Brooke Shields had asked Rosie on her podcast, Now What? with Brooke Shields, about how she felt on her two stints at The View and all the controversy that surrounded it. Rosie at that time, stated, “I know this, it’s not the best use of my talent to get in a show where I have to argue and defend basic principles of humanity and kindness. It was not something I’d ever do again.”
You can check out the clip with Rosie and Kyle Ridley discussing her return to The View in some form for its upcoming 30th season below.
Then weigh-in: Would you be excited to see Rosie, even for a one-day or a week guest stint on the upcoming celebratory season of The View, or not so much? Let us know via the comment section.
