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.

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.
