‘Hometowns’ often feature some of the most awkward and uncomfortable to watch moments during any season of The Bachelor.

During it, the four women vying for the final rose, bring the guy (Zach) to meet their families. Of course, going into the ‘meet and greets’, the family and friends of the women know that the guy is also dating three others at the same time! Ah, those hard-hitting questions to come … can’t wait, or can we?

Last night’s episode begins in Vermont with Gabi’s hometown, which starts with a sexually suggestive maple syrup experience as Gabi shows Zach how to drill for syrup in a tree! Later, Gabi puts Zach through a maple syrup blind taste-testing, where one of the options is fake syrup. OOPS! Zach picks the wrong one, the fake one.  Could it be curtains for Gabi and Zach? The drama!

Now on to the family conversations.  When speaking with Gabi’s brother, Evan, Zach shares that Gabi is, “someone I could see a future with and I don’t have a doubt about that.”  Is that reassuring to her brother?  Zach is also in for a twist because Gabi’s big sister is getting married, and the ladies discuss their dream of planning their weddings together! Alone on a bench, Gabi’s insecurities get the best of her, but in the end she tells Zach, “Don’t forget about me” as he heads out to date three other women.

Now, Zach’s off to New York City to meet up with Ariel and her family. Once in the Big Apple, Ariel takes Zach to Sarge’s deli where he eats tongue for the first-time as he is learning a little bit about Jewish culture.  Zach definitely looked most uncomfortable and nervous knowing he was about to meet Ariel’s parents and brother, whom she says looks out for her.

When it comes time for Zach to speak to Ariel’s brother, Bobby, things tank fast for Mr. Shallcross. He has no comebacks to Bobby’s pointed question, which include: “How does he plan to reconcile their different backgrounds? To which Zach, shares: “families will make it work.”  Very awkward.

Next, Bobby asks, “When’s my sister’s birthday?” Zach shakes his head that he doesn’t know.  Bobby follows-up with, “If you don’t know somebody’s birthday, how do you really know a person? Like, do you know my sister’s middle name?” Zach is stuck! He doesn’t know Ariel’s middle name or birthday.  So he responds with,  “If you love someone, and you have that feeling, why don’t you have the rest of your relationship … or the rest of your life together … to get to know the smaller details?” Awkward yet again!  Later, Zach talks to Ariel’s dad, whom he admits that his final choice is still up in the air, or something like that.

We never thought that Zack would continue his relationship with Ariel, after the visit with her family, or after she admitted she was falling in love with him.  More to come on that.

Next stop, we come to Charity’s hometown in Georgia.  You can tell Charity has a loving family and good friends since we meet them all. Most impressive was Charity’s brother, Nehemiah, who shows how much he loves her and how much he is worried for her.  While he cries, it seems Charity isn’t weeping as much.  Once alone with Zach, Charity tells him she is falling in love with him, and later, she tells the testimonial cameras that she is going to sleep well tonight.

Finally, Zach returns to Austin where he lives and … so too does Kaity! How convenient! Since Kaity just moved to Austin, she needs some help setting up her new place. So on their date, she enlists Zach to help her put furniture together including a bookshelf.

When it comes time to meeting Kaity’s family, her mom’s opinion means everything to her.  So, once she got mom’s stamp of approval, we learn why Kaity has been hesitating to tell Zach she loves him. In the testimonials, Kaity reveals that her previous 7-year relationship was “pure toxicity”. Ready to move on, she lets her guard down and admits to Zach that she is falling in love with him.

The women and Zach are now back in LA for the rose ceremony.  Zach is “emotional’ for him, which is not saying much. When he hands out the three roses, it’s Charity who is being sent home. As he walks her out, he tells Charity that he’s felt sick to his stomach all day and only came to his decision only a short time before handing out the roses, and that he “might be making a mistake.” He adds, very awkwardly, “I know you don’t want to hear this from me, but you deserve all the love and I couldn’t give it to you.”

Once Charity is in the limo riding away from the man she thought she had a chance at love with (or did she), she repeats Zach’s words as she’s driven away.  She then says under her breath, “I don’t know what that freaking means,” as she wipes away her tears.

Looks like we have two contenders to be the next Bachelorette at this point … Charity or Greer, who was sent home after traveling around the world to meet back up with Zach after she recovered from Covid, only to have him show her the front door!

After the hometowns, who do you think has the edge for Zach’s heart …. Gabi, Kaity, or Ariel? Share your pick below.

Steffy and Carter

After taking a second pregnancy test on the Friday, September 12 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) freaks out ever more when it come back positive, too. Leading her to shriek, multiple times over, “Oh my God! Oh my God! I’m pregnant!”

As previously reported, CBS and The Bold and the Beautiful have already confirmed that in the story, the baby Steffy is carrying is Carter’s (Lawrence Saint-Victor) which kicks-off their 40th season of storytelling. However, could there be a twist down the line that it’s really Finn’s (Tanner Novlan)?

On Friday’s episode, Carter gets a text from his wife, Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) telling him she wants to talk more about surrogacy later, since she cannot carry Carter’s child, and the couple was exploring ways for them to have a baby. Suddenly, Carter flashes back to waking up next to Steffy on the couch in the office after they had sex the night before in their drunken stupor.

CARTER DEVISES A PLAN

Then, Steffy comes whirling into the office demanding to talk to Carter right away. Steffy is informing Carter that she has to tell Finn about their night together more than ever! A confused Carter asked her what changed, when they agreed to keep their one night together a secret? Carter tells her if she reveals what happened between them, it will tear about all of their lives.

Carter thinks nothing will come of their “mistake” if they keep their mouth shut. Steffy responds, “You’re wrong.” She goes on to explain that she’s pregnant! That declaration stuns Carter and we fade to black.

However, it was the preview for the action next week on The Bold and the Beautiful, that aired at the end of Friday’s episode and is now all over B&B’s social media that is the real tell-tale sign of where this story is heading.

B&B SPOILERS

In a scene airing next week, Carter says to Steffy, “I have a way out of the situation for all of us!” This comes on the heels of Daphne telling Carter she wishes she knew someone who would be their surrogate. So, putting two and two together, it looks like Carter will come up with the idea to pass Steffy and his baby off as the surrogate child of Carter and Daphne.

Look no further than the official B&B spoilers for episodes airing Monday, September 14- Friday, September 18 and the teaser lines of the Steffy/Carter baby drama to back that up below.

Monday, September 14, Steffy’s news complicates things even more with Carter, while on Tuesday, September 15, 2026  Daphne is hopeful she and Carter will be able to find a surrogate and Carter rushes to stop Steffy. On Wednesday, September 16, Carter makes a passionate plea. and by Thursday, September 17, Daphne can’t believe Carter’s suggestion. Then come Cliffhanger Friday, September 18, Steffy is caught off guard.

So, what do you think how it look to be Carter who originated plan to keep the truth from ever coming out, that he and Steffy had sex, and the best way to do this is for Steffy to be the surrogate for Carter and Daphne’s child? How complicated will the cover-up eventually get? Will Steffy fall in love with the baby making this whole thing untenable for her? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section, but first check out B&B’s video teaser for next week’e episodes below.

Jason and Britt

On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.

Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.

However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON

Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.

He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.

Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”

General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”

So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Steffy is Shaken to the Core, ‘Oh My God! I’m Pregnant!’

Steffy

On today’s Thursday, September 10 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) discovers she’s pregnant, after taking a home pregnancy test, that will launch a new story arc that will remain front and center for the show in the months ahead.

The life-changing story kicks off the B&B’s 40th season which officially began on September 8. In it, Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) is the biological father of Steffy’s unborn child from their drunken night together when both endured turbulent times in their marriages.

Previously, Carter had trouble with Daphne (Murielle Hilaire), when she initially walked out on him, because she could not carrying his child. Meanwhile, Steffy broke up with Finn (Tanner Novlan) while in Monaco over Finn’s mother Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) showing up, who once tried to kill her.

Fast-forward, Carter and Steffy made a pact that no one will ever need to know about their drunken night together, but now with Steffy becoming pregnant it changes everything. Making matters all the worse, Daphne views Steffy as her best friend, in fact, Daphne and Carter have been talking about having a child via surrogacy. While Finn had showed the couple how to start the process of finding a surrogate, Daphne felt just choosing a random person to carry Carter’s child is so impersonal. She would rather have it be someone she knows.

It does not take a scientist to predict … that somehow Steffy will carry the baby pretending to be the surrogate, when she its biological mother, and along the way, the questions become, does she keep the whole thing somehow a secret to herself? Doe Carter find out at some point? Stay tuned to see how this story reveals itself.

At its root, this is a major storyline for Wood, who has already won three Daytime Emmy Lead Actress Awards in her 18 years with The Bold and the Beautiful. In that time, her character of Steffy has experienced multiple pregnancies, given birth to two children, Kelly with Liam (Scott Clifton) as the father, and Hayes with Finn as the father, and endured a miscarriage.

So, what did you think of Steffy getting confirmation she is pregnant and looking mortified when she found out? What will she do next? Will she tell Carter? Will Daphne come to Steffy to ask her to be her surrogate, which Steffy may think will be the answers to her prayers, only for the truth to come out later, or falling in love with the baby since its hers to be begin with? Share your thoughts and theories for this major story for Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, via the comment section.
