CBS daytime’s The Bold and the Beautiful will kick-off the new year with the continuation for the fight for Forrester Creations with Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Hope (Annika Noelle) and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) on one side, and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), and Eric (John McCook) on the other, with some intriguing players caught in between.

However, that’s just for starters. As previewed with TV Insider, the series executive producer and head writer, Brad Bell teased what’s to come for the Forrester, Logans, Spencers and their lives in and out of Los Angeles amongst the fashion business. The new year will also bring another one of B&B’s epic location shoots.

Bell expressed, “I aways love telling business storylines. We don’t do them that often, but I really think that’s something we do well and the finale of who’s in charge of Forrester Creations will be resolved in the first part of 2025. It will be a battle royale going on there.”

However, with the arrival of Daphne Rose, played by Murielle Hilaire on the upcoming January 7th episode, Carter ups his plan but it may be his undoing. Daphne is known as the finest “nose” in Paris when it comes to creating a fragrance. Carter wants to launch one. However, the audience will soon learn, “She’s a plant by Steffy to really undermine Carter and to dismantle this current situation where he, Hope and Brooke are in charge,” explains Bell. So, there will be a secret and a twist in the story, and she’s going to use very interesting techniques. Although she appears loyal to Carter, her ultimate goal is to get the company back in the family.”

Brooke/Ridge/Taylor will be revisited for the umpteenth time as Bell shared that Brooke taking over as CEO of Forrester is a sticking point Ridge just can’t get past, sharing, “No matter how she justifies it, it’s wrong, and, of course, Taylor (Rebecca Budig) will agree. So, we’re going to explore their relationship a bit further.”

Steffy and Finn (Tanner Novlan) will also see their relationship face new tests. Bell previewed, “Steffy and Finn are going to have a new challenge,” but he added, “They’re as strong as a couple can be and we’ll see if they can weather the next storm.”

The relationship between Bill (Don Diamont) and Luna (Lisa Yamada) just got weirder when on today’s episode, Bill has somehow managed to convince the prison (with his connections) to let Luna serve out her prison term on the Spencer property but no one can know about it. Bell elaborated, “We’re going to get into Bill’s character and how his childhood was very much like Luna’s and no one helped him, so he’s going to want to help Luna. Now we don’t know whether he’s being played or not — no one really plays Bill Spencer — but he’s going to have a little affinity for her and her story and what she’s had to endure. ”

In addition, look for the younger set of Will (Crew Morrow), Electra (Laneya Grace), and Remy (Christian Weissmann) to jump start a “far-reaching” story with the Logans. Bell also promised that the MIA Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) will return in 2025 with “a front-burner story but one that’s completely different for him.” As is the new story the head scribe is crafting for Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) and Deacon (Sean Kanan), which is also shaping up to being something different than they have dealt with before.

So, what do you think of Brad’s 2025 preview of what’s to come on B&B? What are you looking forward to seeing the most? The least? Comment below.

As a viewer from day one, I plead for BB to stop the Ridge, Taylor, Brooke madness.
It’s obvious after all these years that Brooke is always going to get what she wants versus what the fans want.

That’s why KA was fired because she was popular with fans I somehow hope KA gets her revenge and if you manage to read the article on Brad you need to wear boots that’s how full of c… Bell is this recast of Taylor is a bust and this arrogant man knows it. DD has been relegated from leading man to buffoon.

Brad Bell claims to respect KKL. She’s been with the show since Day 1. (like JMC) Give Brooke a decent love interest that’s viable. No one cares about boring Tridge. Put them back together and back burner them. KKL deserves better.

We need something to shake up the boring story. Hope it happens.

Days of our Lives Preview

Next week, expected surprises and schemes on Days of our Lives. In official spoilers for episodes streaming on Peacock from October 5-9, it looks like Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) has hunted down a very much alive Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd), while Marlena (Deidre Hall) admits a deeply concerning confession to her daughter Belle (Martha Madison), and more.

As previously reported, Tajh Bellow (ex-TJ Ashford, General Hospital) is stepping in for one day for Tyler Joseph Andrews in the role of Theo Carver and will share scenes with Gabi (Cherie Jimenez), where Theo finally agrees to go along with Gabi’s plan, after she offered him a job.

Meanwhile, Gabi may have her hands full with Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) whose big win in Monte Carlo may have sparked his gambling addiction … all over again, but Philip reveals her has a plan.

Sydney (Sydney Malekeh) is in for a shock when Dante (Franco LoPresti) arrives in Salem. Why is he in Salem? Is he part of the unraveling of the Dominic Marino mystery, since we know he seemed like he was talking to the man in Monte Carlo?

Will Marlena ever figure out what Rita (Maggie Carney) is hiding about the mystery of Dominic, and if Marlena is truly his birth mother or did something more suspicious go on and how deeply involved is Rita in this whole story?

EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) finally demands answers of his own from Rita after overhearing on today’s Cliffhanger Friday her conversation with Marlena. Will Rita cop to anything?

Then as noted, while everyone thinks Sophia took her own life, after Kristen “murdered” her, Kristen is infuriated to find she is somehow alive working as waitress in a diner in Kentucky. Will Kristen try to kill Sophia yet again?

Take a look at some of the additional spoilers for next week’s action on DAYS below.

The Bold and the Beautiful Preview

Next week on The Bold and the Beautiful, official spoilers and the video teaser for episodes airing September 28 through October 2, have Katie (Heather Tom) making it clear she wants Dylan (Sydney Bullock) to prove herself to her by helping lure Zende Forrester (Delon de Metz) over to her fashion house Logan.

If Katie is successful, she would have yet another acquisition from Forrester Creations which would continue to fuel the rivalry between herself and her sister, Brooke Logan Forrester (Katherine Kelly Lang),

In the video preview, Katie informs Hope (Annika Noelle), “Dylan has been tasked with talking to Zende, and if she wants any kind of acceptance from me, she’d better come through.” Is Hope getting leery of Katie’s machinations, or would she like to see Zende get a chance at showcasing his talents, something he had not been able to do of late at Forrester? If Dylan comes through for Katie, will she accept her son, Will’s (Crew Morrow) relationship with the young woman? Stay tuned.

GUESS WHO THE SURROGATE IS RIDGE?

Meanwhile, Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) informs Brooke and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) that she and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) have found someone to be their donor and surrogate adding that said woman is “remarkable.” But, how would Ridge feel when he learns it’s his daughter, Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), who would be the woman giving the couple a child they so desperately want?

What Ridge and Brooke don’t know is that Steffy is already pregnant from her drunken night with Carter, and through Carter’s unrelenting pressure, he wants her to give up the baby she is carrying and give it to Daphne and him to raise as their own.

COERCION CITY

Finn (Tanner Novlan) has already told Steffy she should not be Daphne and Carter’s surrogate, when she tried to broach the lie to her husband. Now, he is out of town at a medical conference, when Carter stops by at the cliff house and Steffy addresses her concerns.

Carter fires back, “We have to do this now, Steffy! We don’t have time!” What will Steffy ultimately do? Go along with Carter’s plan, knowing she feels it’s wrong and wrong for her? Time will tell!

General Hospital

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, official spoilers, and the latest teaser video, indicate that the truth is about to come out on many fronts which could put several Port Charles residents in harm’s way, but who will double-cross whom?

First, Nina has been carted away by the WSB, after she is the prime suspect in the disappearance and possible murder of Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). Now it appears that her daughter Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) is willing to do anything to find her mother. (probably for fear she will somehow implicate Willow!)

Ava (Maura West) meets with Willow at the Metro Court Gardens and informs her, “If Nina is being framed. I may know by whom.” Would Ava risk the ire of Drew (Cameron Mathison), if she throw’s him under the bus and admits he planted Jack’s wallet in Nina’s car, or is she about to accuse someone else to protect him?

Meanwhile, Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Justine’s (Nazneen Contractor) romance is about to become public, or at least fall into the wrong hands! The two are being spied on while making out in a dark location thinking they are alone. Next, Ava’s voice is heard saying, He had to go down!” Is she talking about Sonny who she had teamed with Drew to take down? Cut to Sonny telling Ric (Rick Hearst) “Let ’em try.”

Finally, the action turns to Pentonville, where Curtis (Donnell Turner) is in a dangerous situation, when outside his cell, another inmate suggests to him, “Find a reason not to be in your cell after lunch.” Later, that man and two others, enter the cell as Sidwell (Carlo Rota) just reads a book, as he looks concerned as the men encircle him. Does Curtis come to the rescue of Sidwell? Stay tuned.
