Next week on The Bold and the Beautiful, viewers will get their answer to: if a drunken Carter (Lawrence St. Victor) and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) end up in each other’s arms and have sex, or if they just talk about the break-ups each just went through with their spouses, and decide try to patch things up with Finn (Tanner Novlan) and Daphne (Murielle Hilaire), respectively.

In the B&B video teaser (that first aired at the end of the Friday August 14 episode) for the action the week of August 17-21, Katie (Heather Tom) and Will (Crew Morrow) are having a heated mother-son talk at the beach house. Katie wants to know that if Will misses Electra (Laneya Grace) so much, why in the hell is getting busy with Electra’s supposed best friend, Dylan (Sydney Bullock)? Can Will come up with a reason that will satisfy his mother?

Meanwhile, at Forrester Creations, Dylan and Electra have another showdown. This time, Electra tells Dylan she will yield the power she holds, because after all, she is “Electra Forrester.” So, if she wants Dylan gone, she can snap her fingers and make it happen.

General Hospital’s Carly (Laura Wright) and Jason’s (Steve Burton) bond will never been broken, and they reaffirmed that on the Friday, August 14 episode of the ABC soap opera.

For the first time since making his decision to leave the mob and work for Sonny (Maurice Benard), Jason sits down with Carly in her kitchen and breaks the news to her. She is shocked.

Jason explains that his time in Jakarta imprisoned by the WSB gave him time to think, and that he came to the realization his priorities are mixed up and he needs to put his son, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) first. When Carly asked how Sonny took the news, a tearful Jason explains that Sonny understood. Carly defends Jason’s decision as the right one.

The two share a heartfelt moment from across the kitchen table when Carly takes Jason’s hand and acknowledged how difficult it must be for him, considering his loyalty to Sonny all these years. That prompted Jason to apologize to Carly for the all times that his loyalty to Sonny had to come first over his loyalty to her. Carly says she married Sonny five different times and had his children. She understands it’s difficult to walk away and about loyalty, through her tears.

LIFE AFTER SONNY

When Carly asks Jason what is he going to do now, Jason tells his bff he hasn’t figured that out yet. Carly can’t believe she’s going to say this, but the Quartermaines could use his help. She believes Jason has a perspective that could help Ned (Wally Kurth) and Michael (Rory Gibson) at ELQ and Tracy (Jane Elliot) would love to have Jason at the company. Jason says he has to think about, and that it can’t interfere in his relationship with his son.

At the end of the discussion, Jason and Carly love lives are brought up. Let’s not forget, they previously married each other in September of 2021. This is when Sonny was presumed dead, only to show up before the final paperwork was signed, which nullified the best friend’s marriage to each other, and they suddenly went back to being friends.

NO QUESTIONS ON THEIR CURRENT LOVE LIVES

Now in 2026, Carly wonders if Jason told Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) he has left the mob, to which he informs her he hasn’t told her yet, while Carly tells Jason she will keep her relationship with Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) out of their friendship.

They both know the other is not too happy with their current romantic partners. But, whether Jason and Britt can actually get back on sound footing, and pick up where they left off before Jason was taken by the WSB, is still left to be seen.

In the end, any scenes that showcase the ongoing bond between Jason and Carly in the hands of Steve Burton and Laura Wright, is always moving and played to perfection by these two long-running staples of the General Hospital brand.

So this all begs a few questions: Should Jason go work for the Quartermaines? Do you think it would be interesting to see him in business, or do you think he would hate it and be bored? Do you think of all the friendships on the current landscape of soap operas still on the air that Carly and Jason’s is one of the best? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

The August 14 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful left Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) facing a new reality without their spouses, but not before both have separately gone on alcohol-fueled benders.

In Monaco, Finn (Tanner Novlan) is frantic to find Steffy, who has already hightailed it on a plane back to Los Angeles after breaking up with him on the beach and giving him back her wedding ring. All this, thanks to Sheila (Kimberlin Brown). Steffy lost it when she realized Finn’s birth mother had come to Monaco on the plane with him.  When Finn tried to broker peace between Sheila and Steffy, his wife pulled away in anguish.

Now on an airplane, Steffy is completely drunk. She continues to pour and down drink after drink. And let’s remember, Steffy is an addict. She previously was addicted to painkillers. Is this the tipping point where she loses her battles with her demons once again?

BREAKUPS

While flying back to LA, Steffy flashes back to the entire Sheila saga, from Finn introducing her as his birth mother, to Sheila shooting her husband and her almost to death. Steffy is mortified reliving it in her mind.

Meanwhile, back on the ground in Los Angeles at Forrester Creations, Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) and Carter try to talk out their marriage and the devastating turn that Daphne cannot conceive a child. Carter tries to reason with her that their other ways to have children, but Daphne is to gut-wrenched to listen to anything he has to say.

In fact, after previously saying she is heading back to Paris to be with her family, Daphne doubles down on it. She tells her husband nothing has changed. He pleads with Daphne to stop blaming herself. She can’t, and tells Carter that coming to Los Angeles and falling in love was a terrible mistake.

Daphne tells Carter, she needs some distance. Carter says, “You’re not walking away from me?” Daphne confirms that she is. She takes off her wedding ring and when Carter refuses to take it, she throws in on the desk, says goodbye, and heads out the door.

DRUNKEN LOVE

Carter is rocked to the core. He always seems to be a loser in love. Next thing you know, he’s drowning his sorrows in Forrester whiskey and getting completely schnockered. He gets up and leaves the office looking for presumably more booze, and that’s when Steffy enters the office, stumbling around half out of it.

She sits down on the couch and flashes back to breaking up with Finn and cries as Carter stumbles back into the office and sees her there complete with a fresh bottle of whiskey in his hands. Carter asks her why she isn’t still in Monaco? Steffy cries Sheila showed up, and how apparently Finn and his birth mother flew together to Monaco. She explained to Finn, his birth mother cannot be in their lives for all she has done in the past and how she scares the hell out of her.

Breaking down further, Steffy tells Carter that she is tired of always being the strongest person in the relationship. She announces, “Finn and I are done.” Carter reaches over and touches her shoulder. We fade to black.

So, what do you think will be the pick-up on Monday? Will Carter and Sheila have sex on the couch or the floor at Forrester Creations and she gets pregnant with his child? Does nothing happen between them, but just talking and consoling each other? If so, what was the point of putting them together at the same time, drunk? Will Steffy end up back in the throes of her addiction? What did you think of the story turn throwing Carter and Steffy together in this manner? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
