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.

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.
