THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: An Unhinged Aly Vows To Get Rid Of Steffy!
Courtesy/CBS
The Bold and the Beautiful has done cray-cray over the years exceptionally well, and now we can add Aly Forrester (Ashlyn Pearce) to the list of characters who is mentally unstable and is going over the edge … fast!
On Wednesday’s episode of the CBS Daytime drama series in a scene played to the hilt by Ashlyn Pierce and Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy), Aly and Steffy begin to have it out as Aly unleashes her disgust after noting that Liam (Scott Clifton) is going to annul his marriage to Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer), thus paving the way for Steffy to be in the arms of Liam, once again. Since Aly has always had this weird infatuation with Liam anyway, that came as no surprise.
But when alone with Steffy, Aly let her know that she will not stand for her ruining Liam and Ivy’s lives, as she relates that Steffy is slut, like her drunken mother, who ran down and killed her mother, Darla! Then with a crazed look in her eyes, she tells Steffy: “This family had poisonous branches!”
The topper came when Darla’s (Schae Harrison )glowing head appeared once again when Aly looked up and her mother gave a specific action to take against Steffy: “Get rid of her!” Thus, the story is now coming together how Schae Harrison has returned to The Bold and the Beautiful, as a very unstable Aly is obviously seeing her mother in this altered state!
Watch the confrontation scene between Ashlyn Pierce and Jacqueline MacInnes Wood after the jump! Then let us know if you were surprised by where the story? What do you think Aly will do next in her attempt to rid the world of Steffy Forrester? Comment below!
I have watched B &B since it’s beginning. Every character that you have changed, the show keeps going. I like the idea of Aly going after Steffy, as she has interfered in Liam’s life. Hope should have stayed with Liam all along! Steffy has always been the troublesome between her and her twin. But as I was saying, I am rooting for Aly to get Steffy away from Liam. Last year when you had Wyatt and Liam fighting for Hope, I liked it when Bob Barker punched Wyatt at the Animal Shelter!! Keep up with the good writing! Thank You for a beautiful show/soap!
I love Steffy. I believe Ally will soon go after Liam as will and has hinted as so. She said the other day that “Liam had better not choose Steffe if he knew what was good for him” oh she has really lost it and very dangerous.. Hope her dad hurrys and comes.
Time Aly goes and take ivy with her
Once again I have to wonder about a character that was on long before I started watching. Can anyone tell me what happened to Steffy’s twin?
She died in a car accident when she was in the car with Rick
Rick was driving a car Phoebe was a passenger in and had a car accident. Phoebe died as a result of her injuries.
Phoebe was hit by a car. Rick hit her by accident. I’m sure they will go play back that scene also. It’s all a mixed up situation
I would love for Ally to kill off Steffy. I don’t like Steffy. Ally has the look of a crazed sick killer. The show needs some excitment after the whole transgender thing.
Buffy. July29, 2015
I was hoping Steffy would be killed off. i do not like her and i think she is ugly. WHAT HAPPENS In Ashlyn’s life now? does she have other acting roles in other shows to play now? I really think you killed the wrong character off.
LOVED IT!
Looks good!!
aly should shove liam off that pedestal she has him on and stop blaming
everyone else for his messed up love life.
hoping whatever aly does, wyatt comes to her rescue.
“…now we can add Aly Forrester (Ashlyn Pearce) to the list of characters who is mentally unstable and is going over the edge … fast!”
Now?? While Aly has been relatively calm over the past few months, the character has seemed unhinged and mentally unstable to me since shortly after arriving on the show. For example, I vividly remember a scene about a year ago where she confronted Quinn and almost shoved the woman off a balcony. I also recall a scene where she brandished an ax while yelling at Taylor, who appeared terrified. I agree that Aly seems to be “off” but don’t view this as some new development.
I like Aly. She is one of the rare, recent additions to a daytime soap who is interesting. She is the off-spring of a decent guy and a family member of the core family but appears to struggle with sanity. A carefully thought out, well written, properly timed plot focusing on Aly and “will she or won’t she go postal on someone” could be DYNAMITE for B&B. The only danger: Don’t let Aly go so far that she could never be redeemed. That being said, keep her unbalanced but not so dangerous that she has to be redeemed.
I forgot to add:
I think the show should ditch the cheesy, glowing head shots of beloved, dead mother, Darla.
Nothing wrong with Aly being visited by “ghost Darla” but the strange bodyless shots don’t work. Let “ghost Darla” sit and talk with Aly much like “ghost John” and Jack on Y&R.
She’s no Sheila.
So is this why they are bringing Thorne back to haul her off to the sanitarium. I turned this show on today and it was a room full of people I care zip about. Someone needs to inform Aly her mother was drunk the night she was conceived he was still in love with Macy. I believe it was a shotgun wedding.
Aly has become an annoying little girl who has no right being at Forrester with how hypocritical and unhinged she’s become. I get why she’s so attached to the vanilla image, but at the same time, she seems to think it’s okay acting the way she does, as a way of going against those who don’t see her way of things. Plus, seeing and talking to your dead mother is not mentally stable.
Because they are cousins, all will be well between Steffy and Aly once she gets help. Aly is seeing Steffy as Taylor right now and is def not in her right mind. Starting to think that the ills Aly suffered at the hands of Rick and Maya sent her over the edge. Good thing Thorne is headed back at the end of the month.
Liam has FINALLY made his final choice and to him, “Steffy is home.” Ivy was just his girlfriend and it is over, including the marriage. Steffy is Stephanie Forrester 2.0 and she is trying her best to care for Aly in a responsible way.
Boy, are u brainwashed! Steffy help someone? Only if it benefits her somehow.
I just want to know what has happened to Aly’s stabilizing force…Oliver. They need to call Thorne and have this girl committed. Storyline makes no sense. We saw her forgive Taylor, watched her and Oliver fall in love. We watched her go with Pam, Charlie, and Oliver to the knights show. Yet all of them just let her carry on today like a loon. I hate when they change storylines like all the other stuff didn’t happen.
I love this I’m not really invested in the Steffy & Liam romance but adding Aly into this mix with her strange brand of craziness is awesome. Ashlyn Pierce is amazing
Whatever one thinks of the plot, I think most would have to agree this actress does cray cray very well– those eyes alone should net her a very successful career in the horror genre in films or tv.
Yes. She’s like a young Bette Davis with those eyes.
They should have played kim carnes song at her funeral for some reason my cousin thinks her death was fake wtf?
Agreed that Oliver has nearly vanished and his and Ally’s love life with him. And in a few episodes suddenly Rick is the voicebofvreason? So many inconsistencies.
Tired of the same Ole story line. Liam chosen who he wants, breaking hearts as he goes along.
Dear writers,
Let’s get a new story line. We have been here already with Liam and Steffy… please dont bore us with tgat again. Aly kills off Steffi and we can move on…
Thanks….
I’m loving the fight going on between aly and steffy let’s see witch Forrester girl wins this battle. I have to say I am on Aly team she is on fire at this moment and tells the truth about steffy lol
Taylor driving drunk, speeding in the fog. Hit Darla who was changing Phoebes tire. Taylor left Darla there. Never tried to help her, wouldn’t let Phoebe say anything. Imagine proceeds to make plans to marry Thorne. Imagine being 5yrs old & the only person to tell you what happens is another 5yr old (Hope). Who overheard the adults talking about it. Thorne could have been more supportive. He only put his relationship with Taylor for awhile. That has to hurt. Trying to make her forgive & forget, & accept this. Calling it an UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT is Cruel. Darla is gone, Thorne is still involved with Taylor. Aly is called crazy for not accepting this???
Yes she was drinking. As she was trying to get to her child broken down in the dark on the side of the road and as for hitting Darla does no one watch all the recaps, she fell into the road and that’s how Taylor ended up hitting her.
I would love to see Aly go after Liam and win. I can’t see how Liam keeps falling for Steffy’s manipulations. It’s time for Steffy to be exposed for the liar she is and I hope Liam ends up with Aly and she fights tooth and nail to keep him
As of today I didn’t know that Steffy killed Ali with the crow bar. It’s so sad, but of course the evidence will not be found for a awhile unless Steffy blames Ivy for the accident. Ali played a great revenge part. She is quite an an actress and should get an award for that performance.
What is the purpose of hiding Aly attacking Steffie? Both of their prints should be on the crowbar.
It was actually a tireiron but i thought it was a crowbar too well im not really that in to the show and not very good acting but i cant act worth an s word i hated theatre and really i cant act worth a damn i think it stupid acting like people that dont like that drama crap l like comedy and horror films you know aly kind of reminded me of angela baker from sleepaway camp 2 she dont like girls that are sluts like aly and remember nice girls dont have to show it off yeah preppy psyco bitches.
But there is only one or two differences between aly and angela angela succeeded all her kills and she never died and one more differences angela was born male.

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.
