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.

General Hospital Fall Preview

General Hospital’s co-head writers, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte have given the ABC daytime drama’s fall preview of what to look for in the months ahead in Port Charles.

According to the scribes, as told to TV Insider,  “Unexpected arrivals, unexpected romance and unexpected connections,” are the order of the season, plus, “secrets are going to be exposed that will upend lives for better and worse — and new secrets will need to be kept.”

In the relationship department, don’t expect everything to go the way you may think! Let’s take a look at some of the highlights that point to some major moments in the near future on GH.

ROMEO AND JULIET

“The conflict between Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) will continue to build with potentially fatal consequences,” shared the head writers as Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) and Rocco’s (Finn Carr) relationship gets more solid, the more it will be tried to be pulled apart, especially by Drew. This is what they are calling their “Romeo and Juliet” young love story.

BURYING JACK BRENNAN

Nina (Cynthia Watros) will be in the hot seat, thanks to evidence planted by Drew and Carly (Laura Wright) overhearing her threatening the MIA Jack. According to the GH head writers, “Nina may face a dark future — but perhaps not as dark a future as those who seek her downfall.” Meanwhile Ava (Maura West) and Drew’s unholy alliance will have “repercussions for years to come.” Let’s not forget they buried Jack’s body.

JASON AND BRITT MAY NOT LAST

Those who wanted Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) romance to come to an end, may get their wish! As the head scribes shared, “Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under (Ross) Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”

ANNA’S BREAKING POINT AND CAN VALENTIN STAY AWAY ?

As for Anna Devane (Finola Hughes), who Jason is trying to save and who has lost her way (thanks to visions of Peter August) and being gaslighted by Cullum and company, it will, “lead to her breaking point and  may lead another person to an early grave.” On that note, Carly and Valentin’s (James Patrick Stuart) relationship is tested after his attempt to buy back Spoon Island. Only problem is someone else got their first, and it may be hard for Valentin to deny his feelings for Anna aren’t greater than he thinks.

BROOK LYNN’S LIFE AS SHE KNOWS IT BLOWS UP IN HER FACE

The writers added, “Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) face a turning point. Her secret may finally unravel their marriage; worse, it may leave the family vulnerable when someone comes calling with a claim on Phoebe.” Will Chase now hop between the sheets with his ex Willow? And, will Hudson (Troy Lennon Appel) stake his claim to be the father of the little Phoebe? How can Brook Lynn’s life as she knows it survive this?

TRINA’S STALKER … WHO IS IT?

Does Trina (Tabyana Ali) have a stalker … or a true number one genuine fan? Whatever the case, something ominous is going to happen to Kai (Jen Austin Astrup), when the GH writers shared, “Kai is true blue and will step up to defend Trina— but his closeness to Trina may prove detrimental to his health.” In addition, the stalker situation pairs up Emma (Braedyn Bruner) and Trina to try get to the bottom of who is behind it, but in doing so, may have put a target on Emma’s back.

‘BLOODY’ SITUATION WHERE JOSSLYN IS CONCERNED

Josslyn  Eden McCoy) gets new orders from the WSB after Brennan goes missing, and things may get “bloody” report the writers. They add, “Joss has her sights set on Sonny — but she’s a target, too. JJE is a big prize, and she isn’t the only one entitled to it.” Who else could be?

PAST ROMANCE FOR ALEXIS COMES BACK AROUND

Could Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and Ric (Rick Hearst) find themselves in each other’s arms? According to the GH head writers, “A past romance will rear its head in a surprising way,” for Alexis. Who else could it be if not Ric, who may feel jilted by Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) if she and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) get any closer? Might it be the return of Jerry Jacks?

MICHAEL AND JORDAN BECOME CLOSE

Michael (Rory Gibson) and Jordan (Tanisha Harper) will develop a “special bond” while working together at Aurora and while Curtis (Donnell Turner) is away in prison. However, “a face from Jordan’s past will complicate her future. We’ll start to learn more about the woman Jordan was before she ever joined the DEA and came to Port Charles.” Is this William Baines (Alimi Ballard) or someone else yet to arrive? Stay tuned.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Promo: Women on the Edge

Published

General Hospital has released their official video teaser for all-new episodes starting today on September 8 through September 11. In it, several women in Port Charles have reached their breaking point. Who will do or say something they cannot come back from? Let’s take a look!

First, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) in tears and who is wracked with guilt, might be forced to admit her cover-up in driving a car after having a bit to drink to get to her son Gio (Giovanni Mazza) and Trina’s (Tabyana Ali) performance. Brook Lynn believes she was the driver of the other car involved in Jordan (Tanisha Harper) and Curtis’ (Donnell Turner) car accident.

In the Quartermaine living room, Trina confronts her with, “Were you the driver who kept going and left them there to die?” What will BLQ say? And, is the moment that Chase (Josh Swickard) is so fed up with his wife, he hightails it to Willow (Katelyn MacMullen)? Stay tuned.

SIX FEET UNDER

Then, with Jack out of the picture (and buried six feet under), Drew (Cameron Mathison) feels vindicated and that he holds all the cards and confronts his now ex-wife for shooting him in the back. Willow blurts out with indignation, “Prove it!” Will this be Willow’s ultimate downfall or Drew’s?

Next, WSB agent Baines (Alimi Ballard) is on the case of Brennan’s disappearance and confronts Carly (Laura Wright) and says, “When was the last time you saw Jack Brennan?”

Will she flip the situation and throw shade at Nina (Cynthia Watros) and tell Baines she heard and saw Nina threatening to kill Jack? We already know Drew is setting Nina to take the fall for Jack’s murder, too!

INTO THE WOODS

Finally, Jason (Steve Burton) has located Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) and Anna (Finola Hughes) in the woods. He asks Anna to stop, just as it appears she is going to pull the trigger and end the life of Dr. Britt Westbourne.

Shots are fired after Anna says, “This has to end tonight!” Do you think anyone was on the receiving end of a bullet, or did Jason save the day?

Check out the official GH promo for this week entitled “The Fallout Continues” below and our previously reported additional spoilers for the action in Port Charles here.

Now weigh-in: Do you think GH has several ladies on the brink of disaster? Who do you think will end up A-OK, and whose life do you think may be vastly altered by week’s end? Let us know your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Trina Demands Answers from Brook Lynn, Scout Questions Rocco, and Can Anna Pull the Trigger on Britt?

Published

This week on General Hospital, the week kicks-off on Labor Day with a rebroadcast of the special episode dedicated to Anthony Geary (ex-Luke Spencer). The eight-time Daytime Emmy winning star passed away in December of 2025 and come February 2026, GH crafted a tribute in his honor with the story centering on Luke’s daughter, Lulu (Alexa Havins) mourning the loss of her father.

Then, all-new episodes begin on Tuesday, September 8 and in the video teaser for it, Trina (Tabyana Ali) continues confronting Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) at the Quartermaines, demanding to know if BLQ was behind the wheel of the other car that “caused” the accident that injured Jordan (Tanisha Harper) and her father Curtis (Donnell Turner), who is now spending jail time after being found guilty of assaulting Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) believing he was the other driver who caused the accident.

Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarksi) questions Rocco (Finn Carr), if their first kiss together was “OK?” What will be his answer? Meanwhile, Isaiah continues to question Ava (Maura West), wanting to know where she has been in the last 24 hours that she would have had a very dangerous tick stuck in her scalp? What will she say to get out of the fact that along with Drew (Cameron Mathison), she was burying Jack Brennan’s body in the woods.

Then, Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) is seen talking with Sonny (Maurice Benard), where she says, “It’s time to change tactics!” Most likely, she is talking about dealing with Drew’s threats. Meanwhile, Drew is on the warpath and Ava tries to talk him down by saying, “Don’t you think calling the sheriff is a little extreme?” Why does Drew want to call the sheriff?

Finally, in the pick up from last Friday’s cliffhanger where Anna (Finola Hughes) pulled a gun on Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) in the middle of nowhere, Anna says, “I’m not going to let you stop me!” Who is she talking to? Is it Jason (Steve Burton) who found out Britt’s location … or Britt herself? Stay tuned.
