THE BACHELORETTE: Brayden is Finally Outta There!
The final dust-up between Brayden and Charity, set the stage for ‘Bachelor Nation’ to get their answer. Would Brayden make it all the way to the hometowns, or would he be shown to the limo and one way ticket off the show? Monday’s night’s, July 17th episode of The Bachelorette, provided the answer.
This episode takes the men and Charity to the Pacific Northwest … Stevenson, Washington to be exact. Now staying at a lodge, Brayden and the other guys have issues and Brayden has issues with ‘The Bachelorette.’
Brayden tells Xavier his concerns, after almost having his rose taken away at the end of last week’s drama. He confesses,”I think I’m in danger this week. She was pissed off at me, bro.” He then adds how Charity is always going to be ‘on’ playing the role of ‘The Bachelorette.’ He shares, “I just want you to stop being the Bachelorette for one minute and just be off with me.” Not a bad sentiment, if you think about it. However, Brayden, you did sign up to be on a TV show … a reality-dating competition to be exact.
Later, on the group date, Brayden is in the mix. While all the other men and Charity are dressed for the chilly weather, Brayden decides to just have a button down shirt on, and shares that he might just take it off. The young little girls from the Skamania Scouts named: Brinley, Kate, and Aria have arrived to help Charity decide who should get some one-on-one time with her. But first, the guys have to go into the wilderness and come back with something to eat and show the girls what they came up with.
Aria asks Charity if Brayden or Joey is the smartest guy on the date. Under her breath, Charity shares, “Not Brayden.” After the ‘edible food in the woods’ challenge, the guys are asked by the scouts, “Who would you eat to survive?” Brayden is so disliked that almost all of them said they would eat Brayden! In the last round of the group date, the scouts asked, “How do you want your journey to end?” While the other men gave answers that sounded like getting down on one knee to propose to Charity, Brayden answered “To be content.” Not good.
Back at the lodge, Aaron and Brayden get into it. Brayden confronts Aaron that, “You did me dirty! For no other reason, but I had a connection with Charity.” (Aaron was the one who brought Brayden’s attitude to Charity’s attention, previously.) When grilled by the men about what his goal is, Brayden says his goal is to have ‘a connection with a woman.” That is not what Charity’s goal is. She wants to be engaged at the end of this. Charity shows up and pipes up, “Brayden, is there something that I don’t know? Or what is the problem?” Sean and Aaron are quick to jump in to say that “he’s not ready to get engaged!” Tanner throws fuel on the fire, adding, “There’s one person here that’s packed their bags more than twice.” Charity is pissed and blindsided. Next, Charity wants to talk to Brayden, solo.
This is where we see if Brayden can sway Charity back to his side, but he tells her, “I have been down in the dumps since I got to Washington. I didn’t know what I did wrong. All of a sudden, you’re mad at me for something I thought we had already talked about. It honestly hurt!” Charity admits she is very frustrated. In a confessional, Charity shares: “I am not in a position to fix Brayden. He is reminding me so much of my past relationship … playing victim, not taking accountability. That’s just not a road I want to go down.”
Eventually, Charity walks Brayden to the SUV and away he goes. In the car, he realizes he ‘dug his own grave’. At this point, was anyone really sure we would never see him again? Yup! Not so fast. Before the episode came to its conclusion, Brayden came back, storming back! He walked past the men, the camera crew and tried to find Charity. He interrupts her conversation with John, who eventually storms off.
This leaves Brayden saying to Charity, why he is there in the first place. Brayden says, “It’s nothing that you did. That’s kind of why I wanted to come back today, to make sure that you knew there was nothing that you did wrong in this whole process.” In a great comeback, Charity says, “Oh! I know it wasn’t me.” On that, Brayden begins to head out, but not before the men confront him and f-bombs go off. Brayden assures John that he didn’t mean to “cause drama’, but then he calls the guys “jackasses.” Eventually, he is taken away in a car and off the show. Is it for good??????
So, what did you think of the Brayden drama? Was the guy just trying be as realistic as possible about getting to know someone fast on a reality-dating show, or is he just a prime A jerk, or both? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Has Dylan’s Mystery Caller/Stalker Been Revealed to Be an Alive Luna Nozawa?
We have another scream machine on her hands at The Bold and the Beautiful after the dramatic ending of the May 1 episode, and that would be Dylan (Sydney Bullock)!
B&B is finally making some headway on just who was the person behind the mystery call that Dylan received telling her they have some “unfinished business.” At the time of the mysterious call, it was clear that the voice was altered to disguise the true identify of the person on the the other line.
On today’s show, after Dylan and Electra (Laneya Grace) exchange words in the wardrobe room about Dylan wanting to rebuild their trust and friendship and how Electra has issues stemming from way back trusting anyone after what Remy (Christian Weissmanm) did to her by befriending her and then plastering deep fake nude photos of her across social media.

The timing of Electra bringing up Remy is also interesting to us, as we had previously reported now that Christian Weissmann is back and on on contract with The Bold and the Beautiful, he’s already teased that Remy has another connection to someone on the canvas, which many are still believing its Dylan.
At the end of the episode, after Electra leaves the room, Dylan hears noises coming from behind the dress rack. She asks, “Jamie” is that with you? After no answer and a bit more hangar and dress ruffling, a figure steps out behind it, while Dylan is looking down at her tablet trying to get back to work.
When Dylan looks up, she lets out a scream that could be heard to Nebraska, as viewers see partial view of what looks to be a woman with long dark hair from the back. Dylan in shock, says, “It’s you!” We fade to black.
So, what’s going on here? Is the reason the caller said to her that we have “unfinished business” because on Monday, it will be revealed to actually be an alive and well, Luna (Lisa Yamada)? Did the two strikes some sort of deal, that allowed Dylan to help Luna escape after Luna supposedly died after Dylan ran her down with her car, which was all off-screen? Another theory, is the mystery caller is Remy and he is doing some sort of Luna fakeout on Dylan for a yet to be revealed reason.
What do you think is going on? Did Lisa Yamada just make an on-screen return to The Bold and the Beautiful? Share your thoughts and theories below, but first check out our recent interview from back in March on the Michael Fairman Channel when Lisa who attended the BBTV app launch party.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Nick Confesses His Drug Problem to Victor; Joshua Morrow, Mark Grossman, Eric Braeden Bring the Newman Bond
When The Young and the Restless can deliver an emotional side to their stories and their family dynamics, it usually makes for some great scenes delivered by their A-list cast.
Such was the case on the Friday, May 1 episode when Adam (Mark Grossman) and Nick (Joshua Morrow) returned to Genoa City and gave their father, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), an update on what had gone down with Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) in Las Vegas.
As Victor questioned, “What the hell happened?” Nick piped up, “We both made mistakes along the way, but we’re here now and we’re sorry for giving you so much worry on top of everything else that you’re dealing with,” which was in reference to Victor trying to reclaim his company Newman Enterprises et al.

NICK’S CONFESSION
Next, Nick, explains one of the ways he messed up while trying to go after Matt Clark, when he admitted to this father with tears in his eyes, “That’s one of the ways I messed up … I took Fentanyl willingly. Some of it was because of Matt, but most of it was on me. I was in a lot of pain, dad, after my accident, I was burning through my prescription meds really quickly after I left the hospital. I could see that it was becoming a problem. But honestly, I thought that I could manage it. I was wrong. I was out in LA and Matt had taken Noah (Lucas Adams) and Sienna (Tamara Braun) and he gave me this bag of pills and said I could use it to trade for information. When I went out to that drug warehouse, he was trying to convince me and Sharon (Sharon Case) that Noah was a drug addict. I just put the pills in my pocket of my jacket and I came back to Genoa City and I was in a lot of pain, dad, and I was wearing that jacket. I put my hands in the pocket and the pills were there.”
Nick sadly added, “I was desperate. I couldn’t get anymore prescription meds, so I took the fentanyl I’m deeply ashamed that I was so weak, but all I can do is stand here and tell you the truth that I’m going to make this right and I’ll get better.”
BROTHER TO BROTHER
Adam stood up for his brother and reconfirmed to Victor the plan for help Nick through his pill addiction, “Nick is already on his way to doing that. Sharon has set up an appointment with an outpatient facility. He’s going to do the meetings and he’s going to push through this better than ever.”

“You should also know that the only reason I’m standing here is because of Adam,” Nick confessed to Victor. “Every time I fell, you were there to pick me up. You risked your life to save me, and that’s not something I will ever forget.”
In the climatic and emotional ending of the scene, Nick in tears admits his shame to his dad, who comes in to give him hug. Nick says, “I’m so sorry. I know that this is the last thing you or this family needs.”
All three actors, Joshua Morrow, Mark Grossman and Eric Braeden, were excellent in this exchange in their scenes, but at its epicenter continues to be the Emmy-worthy performances by Y&R MVP, Joshua Morrow. Nick’s heartbreaking journey and fall from grace with his pill addiction problem has finally shown the clinks in the armor of the man who is always on the ready to help others … now he needs to let others help him through this. Can we do it?
So, what did you think of the scenes between the Newman man featuring Joshua, Mark and Eric on the Friday episode of Y&R? And though who watched also know that at the very end, Matt Clark who clearly has been injured wakes up from being conked out, so there is more revenge to come on the Newman clan. Share your thoughts below, but take a look at these scenes from a Canadian viewers who saw them air yesterday.

Days Of Our Lives
DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Sophia Seemingly Plans to End Her Life, But Not Before Setting Fire to Johnny’s Apartment With Him Trapped Inside
The final few moments of the Thursday, April 30 episode of Days of our Lives, will pave the way, to what just may be the end of Sophia Choi’s (Rachel Boyd) life, but not as you may think!
After an unhinged Sophia paid a visit to Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), maced him in the eyes, knocked him out and then tied up to a chair, now conscious, she lets him know that she holds him responsible for all the trouble and trauma she has gone through from adopting her child, and her being sent to a mental institution.
So instead of the unregistered gun Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) gave her to finish off Johnny, Sophia sets up a plan to light candle, use nail polish remover and turn on the gas on the stove to ultimately create a mass explosion, which although Johnny pleaded to her not to that to all the innocent people inside his apartment building, she doesn’t seem to care.

FIERY FACE OFF
The plan was supposed to be, after she takes care of Johnny she will toss the gun in the Salem River, then focus on payback to Holly Jonas before leaving town to start a new life.
Now, Sophia makes her exit, leaving Johnny to be a few moments away from an explosion or gas inhalation, when Chanel (Raven Bowens) comes home after awaiting the results of her mammogram. She sees Johnny tied up, as he panics and tells her to put out the flame on the candle, things go awry, and a fire has begun and everything may go up in flames with Johnny and Chanel inside.

A BROKEN SOPHIA
Back in her room, Sophia breaks down after reading the social media comments about her, she planted, and then starts writing a suicide or farewell note which says. “I’m tired of begging for forgiveness for my mistakes. All I wanted was to move forward, to be loved and understood. But it’s clear that I was never going to get that. Holly Jonas said that I was dead to her. So, as her former BFF, I’m going to make her dream a reality.”

A DEADLY TRAP
Now, the fate of Johnny, Chanel and Sophia will be revealed on tomorrow’s May 1st cliffhanger, which may be the end of Sophia when she crosses paths with Kirsten at the bridge near the river. We do know Rachel Boyd is no longer appearing in the show credits section and is now off contract with the soap.
So, what did you think of the climatic final moments of DAYS? What did you think of the performance of Rachel Boyd as Sophia Choi? Let us know via the comment section.
