Grant Ellis gave out his final rose in the three-hour season finale of The Bachelor. As the episode unraveled on Monday night, on proposal day, Grant said he was completely torn even up to the actual engagement ceremony of which of the two women vying for his heart he would choose. Would it be Juliana or Litia?

The drama ramped up, when it was revealed that the first woman to get out of the limo was Litia, sending shockwaves through Bachelor Nation and the studio audience in attendance for the finale and the After the Final Rose post-show.

Litia began a beautiful profession of love to Grant, who just stood there and let her talk. However, he next broke her heart with the words: “I love you very much. I want to give you everything you deserve, but I’m not your person. I’m sorry that it got to this point. My emotional connection is farther somewhere else.”

Absolutely blindsided, Litia asks when did it change? Grant says, “It didn’t change. I do love you. I don’t want you to feel like I haven’t been open or honest,” adding, “I hope you don’t look at me differently.”

The next line was the best from Litia, when she fires back “Well, I do, for sure … I have a lot of questions.” As she is being led back to her limo to make her exit, Litia says, “I’m disappointed. I just want to be so clear that I’m confused and I’m sad. And I’m mad.” The audience watching the playback was stunned and visibly upset and in tears for her.

Now on the live portion of the finale, Litia came out to talk to host Jesse Palmer and insisted that multiple times through the series, Grant misled her into believing they would be together in the end from all of his professions of love to her. When Grant came to the couch to see Litia for the first time since dumping her, he apologized for the way he handled things.  Litia says she will find and deserve someone who loves her completely. Applause!

It was now time to watch the final moments of the engagement ceremony. Grant proposes to Juliana, who is over the moon with joy. Grant expressed, “Through this whole journey, you’ve been someone who has inspired me. I truly believe that you are somebody who is my best friend and I’m so grateful for our journey. I’ll be there for you as your man, as your friend, as your partner. Juliana, will you marry me?”

Juliana says “yes,” as the studio audience (who was hating on Grant earlier for breaking Litia’s heart) is now happy he and Juliana found love. Live on stage, the two were able to be together in public and on TV for the first time since the end of the season taping a few months back.

At the conclusion of After the Final Rose, Jesse Palmer announced that when Bachelor in Paradise returns this summer for its 10th season after a two-year hiatus, there will be a surprising twist for the upcoming season: it will feature contestants from both the The Golden Bachelor  and The Golden Bachelorette. Confirmed for the cast are fan-favorites Leslie Fhima and Gary Levingston. Not quite sure how that will work with the younger cast, but we shall see!

So, what did you think of how Grant handled dumping Litia, and choosing Juliana in the season finale of The Bachelor? Happy for Grant and Juliana? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Brooke Confronts Katie On Her Vendetta Against Her and Claims, ‘It Breaks My Heart’

Published

Brooke and Katie

The feud between the Logan sisters continues to escalate after Katie (Heather Tom) once again gain another employee acquisition from a former disgruntled Forrester Creations designer.

During the October 14 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Zende (Delon de Metz) along with Dylan (Sydney Bullock) show up at Logan. Zende informs a stunned Hope (Annika Noelle), Katie, Will (Crew Morrow) and Deke (Harrison Cone), that he quit Forrester and would like to join them. Katie and Hope are thrilled. Will is more impressed than ever with Dylan.

Back at Forrester Creations, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) walks into the CEO office where Eric (John McCook) and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) inform her that Zende quit and has gone to work for Katie. The three of them realize things are changing within their company because of Katie, but refuse to look at their part in their own implosion!

BROOKE VS. KATIE ROUND 10

Now angered, Brooke hightails it to Logan to confront her sister. Ready for Brooke to come at her, she tells her sister that she offered Zende an opportunity and he took it. He was being under-valued at Forrester.

Brooke fires back that Katie lied to him, just like she did to Hope. She claims Katie is trying to build Forrester 2.o to spite her! Katie is not deterred by Brooke. She tells her sister to look around – that this is what she and Hope are doing – building a new company.

Continuing on her rant, Brooke says she feels stabbed in the back by her own sister, and her daughter hasn’t help with that feeling. Hope just stands there. Brooke tells Katie that they are truly suffering over at Forrester. Business is not good. She demands, “It has to stop!”

Katie snarks back that this is just business. However, Brooke throws down on her sister, arguing that this is a personal vendetta against her. “It’s revenge,” declares Brooke, and, “It breaks my heart.”

But, does it truly break Brooke’s heart? Is she just saying that to save Forrester from losing any more design talent to Logan? Do you hope Katie pays Brooke back for going after Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) years ago and always talking down to her?

Now, let us know via the comment section how you want the sisterly feud to come to a conclusion. Do you want Katie to successfully take down Brooke and Forrester Creations … or Brooke to take down all of Katie’s hopes and dreams? Weigh-in!

Guillermo

The Tuesday, October 13 episode of Dancing With the Stars brought with it the end of the line for a fan favorite, who for five weeks was able to hang in the competition for the coveted Mirrorball Trophy, due to the at-home voting, and not for his exceptional dance prowess.

With 11 pairs remaining, the couples hit the ballroom dance floor to songs by previous Super Bowl Halftime Show performers for “Super Bowl Night” with special guest judge ESPN’s Joe Buck.

The sports commentator joined Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli at the judges table to offer up his thoughts on the dance routines and athleticism set before him throughout the night.

THE RESULTS

When it time for the results following the final commercial break, DWTS hosts, Alfonso and Julianne, named Julia and Ezra, Maura and Mark, Jackson and Emma, Harry and Jenna, and Amber and Pasha safe. They were followed by: Ezra and Daniella, Jenna and Val, Tatyana and Jan, and Connor and Rylee.

That left the last two pairs on the stage, although not necessarily the bottom two in the voting between Tyler Cameron and Sharna Burgess and Guillermo Rodriguez and Witney Carson. As the tension mounted, especially because Cameron had delivered his best dance of the season thus far, it was revealed that Guillermo and Witney were eliminated.

Speaking to the cameras following his elimination, the ‘Jimmy Kimmel’ sidekick, shared, “I want to say thank you to all the audience, thank you to everyone and Dancing with the Stars. I had a lot of fun, it was great. Witney, I love you for teaching me how to dance, thank you so much.”

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Trina Reminisces About Spencer, Soon After Roses and a Note from Her ‘Biggest Fan’ Arrive

Published

Trina and Spencer

General Hospital fans know red herrings when they see them. That the obvious choices, are usually not the culprit when a soap opera tells the story of an obsessed stalker. The soap trope always cast doubt on a laundry list of potential suspects until one day the actual reveal occurs!

The latest soap obsession is the character of Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali), the young singer who has been performing alongside her recording label mate Gio Palmieri. (Giovanni Mazza). The duo are back for another gig at the Cat’s Eye Lounge on the Tuesday, October 13 episode of the ABC daytime drama series.

After a sound check, where someone is watching Trina through the window, she is greeted by Ava (Maura West) and Trina’s current beau, Kai (Jens Austin Astrup).  Later, while talking to Emma (Braedyn Bruner) about Emma’s thoughts on moving in with Gio, Trina admitted she wasn’t ready to move in with Kai just yet.

ROSES ARE RED …

It’s at that point, for the very first time in a very long time, Trina mentioned the name of Spencer. Trina recalled the time she was ready to move in with him when she and her beloved late boyfriend were going to move to Paris.  With sorrow in her voice, Trina told Emma. “Take the leap. Because life doesn’t always give you a second chance.”

In a recent interview on the Michael Fairman Channel, Tabyana Ali had mentioned that while she is being kept in the dark as to who is her on-screen stalker, will turn out to be she loves the idea of turning it out to be Spencer Cassadine, as do many GH fans who have begun to speculate heavily that the story could reveal a very much alive Spencer. In story, Spencer went overboard and into the Seine River in Paris to his presumed death back at the end of January 2024.

As today’s episode continued, Quinn arrived (Jequon Jackson) and questioned Kai, if he was at all bothered by the growing closeness between Trina and Gio. Kai says he is not.

BACK FROM THE DEAD?

After Trina and Gio perform, Emma brings over to the table a bouquet of roses for Trina, that had been left outside from her “biggest fan.” Trina assumed the flowers were from Kai. He says he did not send them. Quinn just stares at Trina.

So, do you think the stalker could turn out to be Spencer, trying to get back to Trina because he loves her so much? How would you feel about a Spencer Cassadine recast? Do you think Trina mentioning Spencer today was a red herring or dropping a hint that it could very much turn out to be him that is the ‘fan’?  Let us know in the comment section, but first check out some of the key moments from Trina’s stalker story on Tuesday’s GH below, followed by our conversation with Tabyana Ali.
