THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: A Troubled Aly Does Some Coloring To Steffy's Photos As Her Plans Turn Deadly!
Courtesy/CBS
Will personal demons become deadly? That is the big question this week on CBS The Bold and the Beautiful as whacked-out chick Aly Forrester (Ashlyn Pearce) becomes more delusional, and her personal vendetta against Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) gets ramped up even further! But will Aly ultimately succeed? Will she run down Steffy as payback for Steffy’s mom Taylor (Hunter Tylo) causing the death of Aly’s mom, Darla (Schae Harrison)?
In the latest promo for this week’s B&B, Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer) trips upon some dark and very creepy coloring and mark-ups on photos of Steffy that has clearly been done by a deadly Aly!
And as viewers saw on Friday’s B&B, during the California Freedom fashion show, as Maya (Karla Mosley) hits the runway, Aly is visited by the ghost of her mother Darla in the form of the her speaking head. Darla says: “Freedom? That’s not freedom that’s sex, trying to destroy everything we hold dear. There’s no making peace with them. They’re enemies for life. That’s not romance, that’s pornography. Aly, make it stop!” Darla continues on to Aly: “Save us, our family, our legacy, our reputation, you know what to do! So do it! Put an end to it once and for all.”
Watch the latest promo from CBS Daytime as Aly’s bizarre behavior is uncovered, and Friday’s cliffhanger. Then let us know … are you hoping Aly succeeds in destroying Steffy? Will Aly end up in a mental institution? Comment below!
Whatever happened to Aly’s boyfriend, the photographer for Forrester, who seemed to keep her more balanced?
The boyfriend was on the 4th of July episode. He made her lunch but noticed that she was back to her mood swings at the party.
She was giving him the cold shoulder last we saw him, July 3 I believe.
He said they were sending him out of town on a photo shoot. Good actor totally wasted.
I don’t like this story line.
I don’t either. Thorne’s daughter should be right up there with Steffy running Forester. As a matter of fact, Aly should be the dominant one in contrast to Thorne being second and third banana to Ridge and Rick.
This character was unlikeable from day one (IMO). A mental institution sounds perfect.
I don’t like this story either but that child needs to grow up. She’s had too much of a sheltered life.
On the other hand, if she brings down Forrester Creations, so be it. Afterall, she is half Spectra Designs.
I don’t like this storyline either! I’m sorry i’m probably the only one but I can’t stand the whole Kumbaya everyone getting along at forester. I wanted/want Rick and Maya to get their comeupens!
The girl is whacked! If memory serves me, Darla wasn’t a virtuous character. A saint she was not. A kind and loving friend, yes she was.
And someone needs to remind Aly that she was conceived out of wedlock so it’s not like her parents were her idea of moral. Was Thorne married to Macy at the time or engaged? I know they were together.
I think Aly has built Darla up into something she might not necessarily be, which is understandable, but she needs to realize that even her mother had her flaws.
Looking forward to the story. Aly needs serious help, but crazy Aly is good story.
So Brad jumps on the band wagon of mocking mental illness. Everyone in this family has known about this young girl’s issues but yet Rick & Maya tormented her for months took her room from her also please tell me how the maid would not discover her room and now all the hate Steffy posters etc. I wish the kid had penciled all over that picture of Maya hanging over the fireplace in the Forrester Mansion instead. Please alert the media when Eric finds his privat parts again please let Thorne come back and kick everyone out of Forrester and his mothers house.
k/kay,
I so agree….the whole thing with Rick and Maya taking over the mansion is utterly ridiculous! LOL…you are so right, Eric has been written as a man completely not relevant to the storyline/ family anymore. This Maya portrait is nonsense.
Oh and btw, since when is a 20 / 21 yr old still have dolls/ doll house in her room?Whaaaaaaaaat?
K/KAY it’s also easy to see why she’s not a designer. That girl cannot draw to save her life. But kudos to Darla on the dye job and highlights..beauticians in Heaven..women should be jumping for joy.
All I can say is “Creepy.” I not a fan of these kind of stories…same for Nina on GH and others in past soap stories. But there are sure a lot of others who should have been more sensitive to Aly’s history…especially Maya, who knows demons first hand for other reasons and Rick. And now the show is presenting them on the positive side of the ledger. Aly’s has always had a fragile bird thing about her and the only ones who seemed to get close to her were Ivy and Oliver.
What the?! Steffy Forester doesn’t have Triple A?!
My first thought too. Like she’d really change her own tire?! Even I would wait for roadside assistance. lol.
I really hate the way soaps portray mental illness for the most part. Aly is clearly very delusional. I’m not much of a Steffy fan, but I would like to see Aly get good mental health treatment and a reality check. I think there is a hospital bed with her name on it.
May we please, please get off this “crazy train !!!!!!!!”
WOW! I never saw that coming!!!
The writers totally have wasted Ali Forrester. I think BBell just doesnot know what to do with the character and is using this storyline as a cop-out to get rid of Ali. BBell does this core characters to generate ratings then fall to wayside when there is no more use for them. Shame ,SHAME,SHAME! Ali who is a true Forrester should be up there fighting for her share and equal management of the company. BBell has blown it and wasted the talented Ashlyn Pearce.
Beyond the Gates
‘Beyond the Gates’ Emmy Winner Ambyr Michelle Wants to Compete on ‘Dancing with the Stars’: ‘Pick Me’ (Exclusive)
Soap opera fans are always clamoring for when Dancing with the Stars reveals their cast each season, that they would include a familiar face from daytime drama, but it rarely happens, if ever, anymore.
Over the last several years, the series has leaned heavily into casting celebrities with massive TikTok or Instagram followers, which in turn, have helped this season and last have their best ratings numbers in years.
But, how about for next season’s cast of Dancing with the Stars, that it could include newly-awarded Daytime Emmy winner, Ambyr Michelle (Eva Thomas) of Beyond the Gates?

LOVE OF DANCE TO LOVE OF ACTING
Michael Fairman TV spoke to Michelle about her dance background and if she would love a shot at lifting the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy during Wednesday’s November 11, livestream chat on the Michael Fairman Channel.
Ambyr explained to fans (who joined in on the live chat), how she began her show business career. “I started off as a dancer, first and foremost. Acting wasn’t really something I wanted to go after. I did plays when I was younger, but it was just something we did in school, but I really wanted to be a dancer. I moved out to LA to dance, and I fell out of love with dance, which was so weird.”
This year’s Emerging Talent in a Daytime Drama Series winner, added, “I was like, ‘What is going on?’ I moved all the way out here for dance. I found I was forcing myself to go to dance class, and I just didn’t have the passion for it. I was working at this restaurant at the time, and one of my coworker was like, ‘What about taking an acting class out here?'”
Next, Ambyr took the coworker up on the idea. “So, I took an acting class and I fell in love with it that day,” shared Michelle. “I was like, ‘I want to do this for the rest of my life.’ I thought, I would love to book a role, of course, as a dancer, but I think acting has a little bit more longevity.”

A SHOT AT THE LEN GOODMAN MIRRORBALL TROPHY
When the talked turned to if Ambyr would consider or be interested in appearing on the ballroom dance competition series, she piped up with, “I would love to do Dancing with the Stars! Pick me!”
As those in the live chat rallied around this idea, it made us think, Ambyr could be the first contestant from Beyond the Gates, and someone representing the soaps. It checks off so many boxes! To which Ambyr replied, “That would be beautiful.”
You can check out the full conversation with Ambyr below.
So, what do you think soap fans? Can we make sure Ambyr’s name gets in front of the producers and casting director for next season’s Dancing with the Stars? Would you like to see her in the competition? If so, who would be your dream pro professional dance partner for her? Let us know in the comment section.
The latest ratings are out for the week of October 26-30, 2026 and the big takeaways include: that CBS daytime’s Beyond the Gates was separated by only 23,000 viewers behind third place (of the soaps) General Hospital! For the last several weeks, Beyond the Gates has been closing the gap on this year’s winner for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series, and continuing to best GH in the key demos.
According to the latest Nielsen ratings breakdown from Soap Opera Network, the final week of October brought Beyond the Gates 1.790 million on average tuning-in and the show set a season high in total viewers. Meanwhile, General Hospital hit a new season low! The long-running ABC soap had 1.813 million for the week, and once again the series did not go over the 2 million mark.
Meanwhile, in the key Women 18-49 demo, Beyond the Gates was firmly ahead of GH with a rating share of 0.21, while General Hospital had 0.17 rating share.Then, in the key Women 25-54 demo, Beyond the Gates was once again ahead of the ABC soap with a ratings share for that demo at 0.30 while GH came in with 0.26.

MORE BY THE NUMBERS
In addition and comparatively, Beyond the Gates +22,000 viewers week-to-week, and had the largest gains in viewership year-to-year in daytime TV with +267,000 from this in 2025.. However, General Hospital seems to be going in reverse. The show was down -56,000 viewers week-over-week and down -22,000 year-over-year .
BEYOND THE GATES
Let’s take a look at some of the storylines that had people tuning-in to Beyond the Gates during the ratings week:
Hayley (Marquita Goings) attempted a massive shocker regarding her pregnancy and tried to use it to extract money from Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett). Although, Bill saw right through her game, he demanded a paternity test, and made it clear he has no intention of raising the child—planning instead to pay her off to take the baby and leave. Meanwhile, Hayley confided her plan to her cousin Randy (Maurice P. Kerry).
Jacob Hawthorne (Jibre Hordges) and Naomi Hamilton (Arielle Prepetit) clashed over Jacob’s ongoing investigation into The Impaler, causing significant strain in their marriage. At the same time, Smitty (Mike Manning) considered taking matters into his own hands—including potentially heading to Mexico for evidence—while Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon) worried about what comes next.

GENERAL HOSPITAL
Over at General Hospital for the ratings period, the story served up included:
Carly (Laura Wright) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) teamed up to investigate what really happened to Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). Later, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) leads them to Jack’s dead body.
Jude (Wil Traval) dropped a bombshell claim to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn); that he is Phoebe’s father, while Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) signed their divorce papers.
Then, Danny caught Rocco (Finn Carr) and Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) sharing a kiss, plus the shocking return of Heather Webber (Alley Mills) capped the week.
Now the questions become; without having much promotional synergy in the ABC day-part to draw more eyeballs it is not helping but hurting General Hospital. It seems Beyond the Gates is also a benefactor of a one-two-three punch of CBS soaps (Y&R, B&B and BTG) and promotion.
However, that still doesn’t take away the fact that Beyond the Gates is close to besting GH in all ratings category as they go head-to-head in some markets across the country.
So, are you excited to see Beyond the Gates climb in the ratings? Are you concerned for General Hospital? Do you think they can stave off Beyond the Gates in total viewers or will the upstart soap overtake them in the next ratings report? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
Antonio Sabáto Jr., the former Jagger Cates of General Hospital and GH: Night Shift, and the former Dante Damiano of The Bold and the Beautiful has issued his first public statement since the incident involving his son, Jack’s arrest in Alaska for a fatal hit-and-run.
Jack is the son of Sabáto Jr. and Oscar-nominated actress Virginia Madsen, and according to court documents obtained by KTUU Jack, was allegedly driving a white Chevy Tahoe when he hit and killed Carl Simmonds, 42, near an intersection in Anchorage around 5:35 a.m. on Monday, November 9.
The reports indicated that Jack fled the scene — but later decided to called the cops to say he hit “something” that “suddenly appeared in the road” while he was “doing late-night DoorDashing.”

Now, Antonio has taken to his Instagram breaking his silence on the situation, sharing, “At this time, my family and I are navigating an extremely sensitive and deeply personal matter.”
He added, “As a father, my love for my children remains unconditional, and my priority is the well-being of my family. We ask that the public and members of the media honor our privacy during this difficult time and keep us all in your thoughts and prayers.”
The soap alum concluded, “I also wish to extend my heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of the gentleman who tragically lost his life. My thoughts and prayers are with them as well. We sincerely appreciate your compassion, understanding, and respect for the privacy of everyone affected.”
Jack Sabáto was arraigned in court on Tuesday, November 10 with bail set at $5,000, and a no-driving order and the potential of $5,000 penalty fees if he fails to attend future court appearances.
Antonio is the father to Jack, 34, daughter, Mina Sabato, 24 and son, Antonio Sabáto III, 15.
This is a developing story. You can check out Antonio’s official statement below.
