On Thursday’s episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Paul (Hollis Chambers) who know goes by ‘Hollis’, and is the bartender from Il Giardino, gets his dream date with Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang).

While the young man tells Deacon (Sean Kanan), how much he respects Brooke and she is gorgeous to boot, will there be a steamy connection or just friendship between the two?

Meanwhile, Brooke and her new gal pal, Taylor (Krista Allen) are nervous and excited for Brooke’s first date, in what seems forever and certainly post-Ridge. Taylor tries to give her bestie some advice on having fun, and just going with the flow, and that Brooke deserves this and to remember, she has no obligation to the guy.  Taylor adds, “This could be the beginning of a brand new chapter for you.”

When Hollis shows up at Brooke’s, he is instantly smitten by her, sharing, “I just need to catch my breath.” Taylor stammers and decides it’s time for her to get out of dodge so the two can have their date.

Brooke, pouring two glasses of sparkling water, shares a toast with Hollis to the beginning of a wonderful friendship.  Next, Brooke says all of this is surprising to her. When Hollis responds, “Which part?” Brooke answers, “Being on a date with you.” Hollis shares, “I’m excited to see where tonight takes us.”

So what do you think B&B fans? Are you all in for Brooke and Hollis to hook-up, date, just be friends? Comment below.

It is a surprising turn of events, Brooke (any of B&B character really) dating outside ‘the family.’ Hope this can be an opportunity for character growth and the start of a stalker storyline.

Should read NOT the start of a stalker storyline … Sorry!

I think it would be cool for Dave Reed to re-enter her life, or, better yet… STAY SINGLE!

Love idea of Brooke single. It’s about time for her to be powerful. She received the blessing of the dying Stephanie and the writers just ignored that moment they created.

I’m glad they gave Hollis more to do. He is easy on the eyes and seems to be talented. I also like the romance of it all. They need more characters like Hollis to spice things up!

He is a greasy, icky boy. He is just infatuated with Brock mainly because she’s filthy rich and he is a loser with no money.

I so agree with new men spicing up Bold and Beautiful. You can’t always have Bill’s kids. Or Ridge for that matter.

Hollis is creepy and way too young. Brooke is filthy rich and Hollis is a bar back. He is way out of his realm. Brooke needs an older rich man absolutely not Ridge. Taylor mind your own business or are you getting Brooke out the way so you can get your claws back on greasy Ridge. ( he really needs to wash his greasey hair). YUCK

After being raped the idea of Brooke being alone in her home with a man she barely knows was a HUGE miscalculation on the part of the writers. Did you forget she was a rape victim?
Poor writing on your parts.
Not to mention it’s quite telling that Taylor is pushing her to date. She just wants Ridge to herself.

Taylor deserves to have Ridge anyway she can get him. After all we haven’t seen very much of them together without Brooke in the way. I like to see Taylor and Brook stay friends but not likely if Taylor takes Ridge back. Yeah everybody should wash their hair but this Hollis guy looks like a gigolo if that’s what they’re going for. Bell is known for his surprises. Let’s hope he’s surprises us with some brand new hunks.

Judgmental Ho much.

Ho,
I loved Thorston Kay on AMC but he’s so different here, looks and everything.The overly facial hair and yes his hair always looks like it needs trimming and a good shampoo.Did you see the other Ridge? Different as night and day.

I want Brooke and Taylor to couple up

YUK!

No way. How pathetic
The 2 need boyfriends
Yo start their rivalry
All over again

Aren’t you getting tired of the Brooke and Taylor Feud, fighting all the time? I’ve been watching Bold and Beautiful for 20 years but the writers need new and refreshing storylines not the same old ones we can predict the ending. Maybe they’re gearing for the younger crowd that hasn’t seen the plots like I have.

From Friday’s episode it looks like the writers are leaning in that direction.

I would like to see that happen that would be awesome.

Yuk out Taylor with Bill or maybe even Carter. NOT BROOKE

this is bold as we know how long before hollis becomes unhinged hope it doesn’t go that way but she will either be saved by taylor or thomas

Richard,
Unhinged? For sure. Brooke would make any guy crazy!

Hope Brooke has the fortitude to end the Hollis thing before it starts and not follow on old patterns. You would think psychologist Taylor would quit encouraging her, especially since she has seen first hand what happens when you meddle in people’s lives from her own kids Steffy and Thomas when they tried to get her and Ridge back together. But what am I saying…it’s a soap and will get messy. And I’m not so sure there wouldn’t develop competition between “best friends” when Ridge enters the picture again.

Watched B@B since the 1st show, but if they make Brook an Taylor a couple IM DONE !

Me too

I think the storyline of an older woman and a younger man would be a lot more interesting than Taylor and Brooke. Not sure I would want to watch if it goes in that direction.

Jr,
That would not be my cup of tea either. I think they tried a similar version years ago on Y&R with Catherine Chancelor but I remember the fans didn’t like it.

Stupid.Brooke is past her prime.Not a femme fatal anymore.

Stop this young guy wouldn’t be interested in this past femme fatale.Brooke past her prime.Completely stupid storyline.

Dorian Lord bedded men a third of her age. Monica Quartermaine had an affair with someone who turned out to be her nephew by marriage. Those were accepted by viewers. Somewhere along the line it became less tolerable. Erica Kane and Ryan were kind of off-putting. Is Brooke as dynamic as Dorian or is she more ego-centric like Erica?

Why not hook-uo, Live n Let live

If you take Brook and Taylor to lesbian status I probably will quit watching, it’s already too much as far as I’m concerned and as far as Hollis goes this is also weird , he’s creepy and the story line makes no since all.

I think they should hook up because she is older means nothing love is ageless once u become an adult. Her kids are grown it’s her time again to do as what pleases her and find Taylor and Ridge someone else fresh story line kids are grown life goes on.

Yes put Ridge with someone other than Taylor or Brooke.

I hear he may come home married, possibly the blonde bimbo from Vegas, but for real this time.

I think Brooke and Thomas would be interesting. Maybe all his hate toward her is because he really has other feelings for her

I think Ridge is going to come back married to someone else.

How old is Brook supposed to be now….how old is Hollis….does he have any power. Or is Brook the older woman with power this time?????
I missed something

Jk Tren,
I would think,according to her two oldest kids in their early thirties and Hope, that she’s got to be nearing 60 and Hollis looks to be late 20s. As far as power, he’s a lowly bartender/waiter. The only power is his youth. Brook has everything else.

What is the contract status of Thorsten Kaye? And really let’s knock it off with the lesbian nonsense ! You do know you can have friends and not bring sexual undertones in everything !!

Kay,
You are right of course but they sure are trying to make it tantalizing and using lots of innuendo. Are they or aren’t they? Unfortunately, I think a lot of fans are hoping for more than friends.

Thorsten Kaye spoke last year he’d be taking some time off, so that is why he isn’t on the canvas; he’s still on the series as a regular, but he is not filming.

I’m waiting for date between Brook and her new best friend Taylor…..

An older woman with a younger man would be exciting. We all know it would never work in a long run but anything is better than another run of Ridge and Brooke. Please don’t do that to us. It would have been fun to see Deacon and Brooke hit it off again. But you already have Sheila with Deacon. Yet again we all know nobody takes anyone from Sheila.

She should date him!!! He is perfect

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Will Ava Tie the Knot With Drew?

Ava

On the Friday, November 13 episode of General Hospital, Drew (Cameron Mathison) convinces Ava (Maura West) they need to get married, to each other! Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) hopes to get the DNA results on Jude (Will Traval) she has waited for, and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) secretly co-conspire to find out who in Port Charles had the infamous tick!

Here’s what went down: Drew explained to Ava that they needed to get hitched ASAP, that way, they couldn’t be forced to testify against each other in the Jack Brennan case. After initially being kind of sick of the thought of marrying Drew, he made her change her mind, by throwing out the fact that if she lands in jail Sonny (Maurice Benard) will have Avery (Ayla Bullington) all to himself.

Next, Ava heads to GH to ask Lucas (Van Hansis) to be her witness in marrying Drew. Lucas has already figured out the reason Ava is marrying Drew because it has something to do with Brennan’s death. Explaining she hates the idea of getting married to Drew, she has run out of other options. Lucas agrees to help her, but firmly tells Ava nobody would believe it was a real marriage anyway.

CAN MOLLY AND JOE STOP THE WEDDING?

At the same time, Drew asked Martin (Michael E. Knight) for a post-nuptial agreement. Martin was not happy to hear that Drew was going to marry Ava, warning that prison was a better option than tying himself to a woman like Ave Jerome.

Eventually Ava, Lucas, Drew, and Martin gathered at the city clerk’s office. Lucas comes up with a way to derail or stall the nuptials by saying that they need to wait for Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) and Avery to show up, as they should be a part of this, too.

Lucas may have saved the day, because Molly (Kristen Vaganos) and Joe (Jonathan Bennett) went to Drew’s office to serve him his warrant, but found the office door open. Next, Joe found a sticky note on Drew’s folder that revealed Drew had obtained a marriage license. A light bulb goes off in his head and he realized Ava and Drew are getting married, so he and Molly rush off to City Hall to try and stop it.

IS JUDE THE TRUE BABY DADDY?

Elsewhere, after receiving a text message that the DNA results are in at the hospital, Brook Lynn ends her discussion over Jude and baby Phoebe with Gio (Giovanni Mazza) and runs out of the Quartermaines.

Once Brook Lynn gets off the elevator at GH, she sees Jude and Britt  Kelly Thiebaud) looking might close. She quickly heads back towards the elevator sight unseen and was clearly shaken by what she saw. Earlier at the doctors and nurses hub, Elizabeth helped Dante by confirming by an ear gesture they had worked out; that the patient with the tick was Ava Jerome.

You can check out the scenes where Lucas gets a visit from Ava and he learns she wants him to be her witness in marrying Drew at City Hall.

Now weigh-in: do you think Ava and Drew will tie the knot before Joe and Molly make it to City Hall? What do you think the DNA results will show once Brook Lynn gets her hands on them? Have they been tampered with? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section.

General Hospital

On the Thursday, November 12 episode of General Hospital, as battles line are drawn by Carly’s (Laura Wright) ex-husband, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and her daughter, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy), she realizes things are about to get a whole lot worse, and she expressed her fears to Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart).

After Sonny came to see Carly to get her daughter to back off of him; especially when Josslyn lit into him in front of nuAvery (Ayla Bullington), Carly is terrified that Sonny could retaliate against Josslyn. Realizing, Josslyn is in danger, Carly won’t sit by and let anything happen to her. She tells Valentin, “I’ve already lost one kid because of that man. I won’t lose another.”

Viewers won’t soon forget the devastation Carly felt when Morgan (Bryan Craig) died in a car bomb explosion back in 2016 because of Sonny’s dealings in the mob in a complex story involving Julian (William deVry) and Olivia Jerome (Tonja Walker).

SONNY IS READY FOR WAR

Meanwhile in the aftermath of his visit with Carly, Sonny told his brother Ric what went down when Josslyn disrespected him in front of his own daughter and hurt Avery. Since Josslyn already make it known that she no longer considers herself part of Sonny’s family, he’s decided to treat her accordingly.

Sonnys first step in payback is to take away her support system at JJE by approaching Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel) again, but this time in a much less-friendly way.

Ric points out that this would go against every move Sonny made as a legitimate businessman in Port Charles and would mean he’s back in the mob? Sonny doubles down, saying Josslyn changed the game when she involved Avery. While he showed concern of how bad Carly would feel over all this year, he said he is ready to finish what Josslyn started.

At the Metro Court, Ava (Maura West) is listening to Avery explain what happened between Sonny and Josslyn and how much she hates Josslyn right now, which Ava seems to be OK with.

WILL JOSSLYN’S WORLD BLOW UP ON HER?

Speaking of Josslyn, she is on the pier still after her talk with Hudson and still crying over her confrontation with Sonny and Avery overhearing it, and what she told her sister. Lucas comes across her at the pier while out for his run.

Explaining how badly she feels for what she said about Sonny to Avery, Lucas says that eventually Avery will discover the truth about Sonny. He explains to Josslyn that even though Avery hates her now, she will come to realize that what she said about her father was the truth, and that Josslyn was not lying to her at all.

So, what do you think about Sonny ready to play dirty to take down Josslyn? How will Carly ensure her daughter does not wind up dead? Who do you think is in the right here? Is Josslyn’s vendetta against Sonny justified, at the cost of the relationships with her family? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.

Bill and Katie

The future isn’t looking so bright for longtime loves Katie Logan (Heather Tom) and Bill Spencer (Don Diamont), when on the Wednesday, November 11 episode Katie wants Bill to leave and give her some space, and to stay away from her!

Katie explains she wanted none of this, but now her insecurity and fear of Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Bill has made it impossible. Bill pleads his case, “I was just trying to help” by speaking with Brooke. Katie tells him, well he didn’t, far from it, it’s all backfired in his face.

Bill insists to Katie that everything he did was for her and her sisters. Katie isn’t buying it. In her mind, Bill has always wanted to stick it to the Forresters. So what changed? She then asks him point blank, if he is still attracted to Brooke? Bill says “no,” but Katie said she wishes she could believe him. He tries to explain that him getting together with Brooke was to broker peace between the Logan sisters.

THE TRUST IS BROKEN

Katie speaks to how she is building her own company, making something of herself, and Bill says to her, “You don’t have to lose the people that you love to prove that you can win.”

Next, Katie is convinced Bill was flirting with Brooke because he texted Brooke a Stallion emoji (she has a point, no?). That reminded Katie of the worst time in her life when he was having an affair with her sister!

She points out how Brooke destroyed her life and took Will away from her and he was sent to boarding school, so why shouldn’t she strike back? Bill tries to point out again, that Katie is going to lose her sisters. But, a defiant Katie fires back, “If they can’t accept me for who I am … so be it!”

Next, Bill says he doesn’t buy it and becomes very emotional calling his wife, “my Katie”.  However, now in a puddle of tears, Katie says those words can’t fix everything. Seeing he is not getting anywhere, Bill walks towards the door and says, “I will hate being apart from you, but I’ll do it for you.”

He vows to never stop fighting for them. Katie’s says, “Goodbye, Bill.”  The music swells, Bill exits, and Katie crawls into a ball on the couch in a dramatic overhead shot to end the episode.
