THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Caroline Spills The Beans To Ridge: "I'm Pregnant!"
Courtesy/CBS
An emotionally drained Caroline (Linsey Godfrey), who now truly needs some tranquilizers to calm down, confessed to Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) on a pivotal episode of The Bold and the Beautiful!
Monday’s episode featured the continuation of last Friday’s cliffhanger, where Caroline in a let-it-all-out purge, revealed to Ridge that first, she had slept with his son, Thomas (Pierson Fode). But after trying to recover from that stinger, Ridge the second part of the secret that Caroline is harboring … she’s pregnant and Thomas is the father! After all, Caroline just learned Ridge had a vasectomy and cannot father a child.
Deciminated by the news that his son had sex with his wife, and now is the father of the baby she is carrying, Ridge falls to the floor. Making this all the more a punch-to-the-gut is that shortly before meeting up with Caroline, Thomas punched Ridge in the face. That went down after a heated father and son had a verbal assault that led to the game-changer between the two Forrester men.
Watch Caroline spill the beans to Ridge after the jump! Let us know what you thought of the performances, once again, of Linsey Godfrey and Thorsten Kaye, who just may have their Emmy competition submission tapes. Then in story, how do you think this will play out? What will this couple do now that Ridge knows Thomas is the baby daddy? Will Thomas ever know? Share your thoughts below!
General Hospital
Kelly Sullivan Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’s’ Maura West Recalling When Ava Shot Connie (Exclusive)
It was just over 13 years ago on General Hospital when Ava Jerome (Maura West) shot and killed Kate Howard/Connie Falconeri (Kelly Sullivan) in an effort to keep her quiet from revealing that Derek Wells was actually Ava’s back-from-the-dead brother, Julian Jerome (William deVry). It’s a crime that somehow Ava never has quite paid for either.
The episode back aired on August 13, 2013 and viewers had to say goodbye to Kelly Sullivan who played Kate and her alter, Connie. In the story, just before she died, Kate/Connie scrawled the letters AJ in her own blood, initially making the PCPD and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) think that it was AJ Quatermaine (Sean Kanan) who did the deed.
Now, Sullivan recalled sharing scenes with the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning West, during a live conversation on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel. Kelly was the special guest talking about her recent return to the soaps in her new role as The Bold and the Beautiful’s Darcy Dylan.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF MAURA WEST
Speaking of her final GH scenes and working with Maura West, Sullivan gave her then GH co-star major props. “If you’re going to be shot by somebody (on the soaps), you want to be shot by Maura West, c’mon!”
Maura West debuted back in May 2013 as Ava, and Sullivan remembered when the As the World Turns favorite began on GH. “I remember when Maura West first arrived at GH. She walked in with this cute little bob (hairdo) and she’s just delicious,” shared Sullivan.
A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
Kelly revealed more about Maura, adding “I think she’s amazing! I remember right before I left the show, someone suggested, and I would still love to do this with her, if she ever want to, but someone suggested that they wanted to direct the stage play A Streetcar Named Desire with Maura and I, where I would play Stella and she would play Blanche! Wouldn’t that be great?”
Speaking of the Ava/Connie showdown scenes, Sullivan expressed, “On television and on General Hospital specifically, Maura West is able to play a character who does the most horrendous things and you still care about her and that’s the mark of a really great actor. In other words, you’re able to be liked in the midst of the most horrendous things, and as a performer not shying away from that, and to just have the courage to do what’s on the page (in the script).”

KELLY SULLIVAN PARTING THOUGHTS AS SHE LEFT GENERAL HOSPITAL
Kelly also shared her sentiments when she walked off the set of General Hospital after her run back in August of 2013. “I really was honored. Every day I would go to work and I would say a little prayer, which is I want to do justice for my character, explained Kelly. “It’s between me and my character. I get to walk this path with her and to leave the show on that note, which is, I left every out there. I just gave it my all and again what an honor it was to play Kate/Connie.”
You can catch the full conversation with Kelly where she talks about her time on General Hospital, The Young and the Restless where she played Sage Warner and now The Bold and the Beautiful below.
So, do you remember the Ava and Connie scenes where Ava shot and killed her? What did you think of Kelly Sullivan’s sentiments about Maura West? Share your thoughts via the comment section. But first, watch the reveal where Ava recalls murdering Connie below!
The question of will Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) stay awhile at General Hospital after his recent extended hiatus from the show earlier this year, has reportedly been answered.
TMZ via court documents obtained in Burton’s ongoing legal battle with his ex-wife Sheree Gustin, shared that Steve actually inked a new three year deal with the ABC soap opera back in June.
That is significant because it was June when Burton returned back to work as Jason. In addition, the court filing confirmed that Burton had already moved back to California from Tennessee.

STEVE’S HIATUS AND HIS RETURN TO PORT CHARLES
GH fans will recall, it was back in February of 2026, that Burton announced via his Instagram that he was stepping away from his role of Jason Morgan for short break and pointed to wanting to spend quality time with his new wife, Michelle Lundstrom Burton with whom he tied the knot back on May 17, 2025.
Steve expressed at that time, “I’m newly married and looking forward to spending some quality time with my family.” It was back on March 25 that viewers saw Jason carted away by the WSB after taking the fall for Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) who shot then WSB Director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).
Burton returned to work on June 1, and due to General Hospital taping roughly six weeks ahead of air, made his on-screen comeback on the July 13 episode.
GOING FOR GOLD AT THE UPCOMING DAYTIME EMMYS
Then, Steve and his enduring fans got an extra special treat on the same day, when it was revealed on Extra that he was nominated for the upcoming 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Daytime Drama Series category.
Steve previously won in the Supporting Actor category for his work as General Hospital’s Jason in 1998 and as The Young and the Restless’ Dylan McAvoy in 2018.
Now with Jason and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship seemingly hitting the skids, plus Jason’s commitment to staying out of mob life to focus on being present for his son Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn), what does the future hold for the fan favorite character? Stay tuned.
So, happy to hear that Steve Burton signed a new three year deal with General Hospital? Knowing that, what storyline would you like to see Jason get involved and with who? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

CAKE FIGHTS AND CORPORATE INTRIGUE
The book description for The Young and the Rest of Us adds, “In June 1987, Jess Walton walked through the artists’ entrance at CBS for her first day on The Young and the Restless,where she had just been hired to play the recast role of Jill Abbott. Two Emmy awards, four decades, and countless onscreen affairs, marriages, corporate takeovers, and cake fights later, she’s a beloved icon with an astonishing tale to tell.”
“In her refreshingly candid style, Jess shares her journey as a young actress from Toronto theaters to Los Angeles, where she found herself at the center of a Laurel Canyon circle that included the likes of Neil Young, David Geffen, Laura Nyro, and Joni Mitchell. Landing a Universal contract and a steady stream of guest starring roles, Jess embraced everything 1970s L.A. had to offer—including Hollywood parties fueled by limitless booze and drugs, and trysts with stars. She recounts with candor and gratitude the surprising path that eventually led her to sobriety, true love—and ultimately, to fictional Genoa City, Wisconsin, and the role of a lifetime.”
“Brimming with behind-the-scenes drama and celebrity cameos to delight fans, The Young and the Rest of Us is also rich in personal, relatable truths about marriage, motherhood, empty-nesting, self-discovery, and finding the courage to start over—as often as it takes. In a voice as fearless and frank as Jill’s, but with, humor and grace all her own, Jess Walton looks back on a life as unpredictable, and adventure filled as anything she has portrayed on screen.”
WHO ELSE PLAYED JILL FOSER ABBOTT?
Fans of The Young and the Restless know that Walton became the fourth actress to take on the role of Katherine Chancellor’s original nemesis Jill Foster back in 1987. The OG Jill was played by Brenda Dickson, also Deborah Adair, Bond Gideon and Melinda O. Fee played the part.
This year, Days of our Lives star Lauren Koslow (Kate Roberts) filled-in for several episodes for Walton who was unavailable to travel from her home in Oregon to Los Angeles where Y&R was taped. Walton is still with the long-running soap opera as Jill.

It is high drama but maybe this is what happens when you marry your late wife’s niece on the rebound from her marriage to your stepbrother/stepson and your on-and-off marriages with said stepbrother/stepson’s mother (also the ex-wife of your in-name-only father). Oh, and now that your son is father to your new wife’s (his stepaunt) baby, you could be both grandfather and stepdad to the child! (And remember the rumor your son had that crazyberries affair with your ex-wife!).
Did I remember all that correctly?
Sigh.
Rick and Ridge have the same father–they are half-brothers. Yeah, yeah, I know Massimo is really Ridge’s father, but Eric raised Ridge and considers him his son so I consider Ridge Eric’s son, not his stepson.
Half-brothers, yes, I stand corrected, Mo. Still one amazing mess of a family tree. More of a family bramble!
LOL!! You nailed it. Thanks for sharing:)
Well Done, Iakovos! What is amazing is that I, and most of us, could follow and understand your explanation 🙂
I was glad to see that BandB didn’t drag this story out but gave it a huge 2-part punch, starting last Friday. Now that the truth is out between Ridge & Caroline, I wonder if they’ll let Thomas in on the truth or pass off baby-Forrester as Ridge’s child. Maybe Caroline’s guilt will drive her to go along w/a plan like this. Both actors were wonderful in the scene, but I think the moment belonged to Linsey Godfrey.
WONDERFUL ACTING —BOTH ACTORS!!!!!
Agreed. Linsey should put in for lead actress in the Emmy’s.
The acting was exceptional but the story is awful. I can’t help but think that this baby will end up being Ridge’s, not because B&B thinks that Caroline and Ridge belong together, but because there is so much disgust from the audience over what Thomas did. I’m not taking any sides here, and I know that all three characters played a role in the situation being what it is, but fan reaction is very vocal against Thomas’ behavior that night and now Ridge is saying what a lot of fans have been screaming. I can’t see B&B rewarding Thomas with a baby. I may be wrong but the story will probably be very predictable with Ridge being the father of the miracle baby despite what the doctor said. What’s worse is that B&B is saddled with this story for at least a few months until Caroline gives birth, assuming that B&B goes ahead with the pregnancy storyline. I’d much rather see B&B focus on the creation of a new fashion company to rival Forrester.
B and B has years to keep this baby’s paternity in play if they want. I do agree that it will *probably* be Ridge’s baby sooner rather than later, as a lot of viewers point out that Ridge never had a second opinion etc.
But, Y&R kept Summer’s paternity in question forever…18 years? before the final determination.
I don’t think the Thomas/Caroline one-nighter was as god awful as some people do. So, it doesn’t seem like a ” reward” for Thomas to me. And, I am not a fan of this Ridge at all, so that may influence me 🙂
Michael, I think it’s high time you interview those 2. 😉
I was at the edge of my seat watching Ridge and Caroline on both Friday’s and Monday’s show. This is what soaps are all about! Wonderful performances and I hope they get the recognition they deserve, especially Thorsten Kaye who has been overlooked for so many years!
I was pleasantly surprised that they didn’t drag this out and had Caroline confess it all, not because she was threatened but because she thought it was the right thing to do. The other soaps should take notes (GH, I’m looking at you!)
As a huge fan of the Ridge/Caroline pairing I just want them to face whatever is coming up together, whatever that may be.
So heartbreaking.
I don’t like that they are making it Thomas’ baby, but I’m hoping that it is a mistake.
I think Ridge will ask Caroline to lie and say it is his (Ridge) baby.
Caroline also needs to realize it was rape.
OMG I hope Ridge & Caroline make a pack to keep it to themselves and raise the child as their’s. As for noisy Brooke Ridge can tell her the test came back and he’s able to father a child after all. Please don’t break these two up.
As twisted as the situation is this is classic soap and the reveal was great drama. October and November are favorite months to watch soaps– never dull moment until Thanksgiving
Linsey(Caroline) did such an Amazing job! I wonder if Thomas will find out it’s his baby?
Ridge should think back to when he slept with his father’s wife Brook and “Whoa ” RJ was produce. There is and old saying You Reep What You So!!!!! I know they will make this a Ridge baby until Thomas let out to Brooke that he slept with Caroline and she put together that ridge is not the father but Thomas is..
