THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Douglas Chooses Steffy Much to the Chagrin of Hope and Thomas
On Monday’s B&B, in a surprise move, Douglas (Henry Joseph Samiri) announces during his guardianship hearing, that he wants to live with his aunt … Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood)! Everyone in the room, including the judge, is shocked.
The reveal leaves Douglas’ dad and Steffy’s brother, Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) reeling as well as Douglas’ adoptive mom, Hope (Annika Noelle) in addition to Liam (Scott Clifton).

Faced in an “I don’t know what to say” situation, Steffy questions Douglas on choosing her, and tries for a moment to dissuade him, but not enough to the liking of Hope and Thomas.
Once Douglas leaves the judges chamber with the judge, so the grown-ups can talk this out, Thomas gets mad and exits, leaving Hope and Steffy alone together.

It’s at that point, Steffy thinks it’s a good idea, for now, for Douglas to come live with her and Finn (although she yet to let Finn know). Steffy points out that in the end this could wind up better than expected, because Douglas will miss living with Hope and Liam. However, Steffy also questions Hope about this entire idea of allowing Douglas to choose his own guardian.
Watch the final moments of the episode featuring the confrontation between Hope and Steffy below.
Now let us know, what did you think of Douglas’ choice to live with Steffy? What do you think of Steffy’s decision to let him with her? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
Here we go again. Thomas and his “great” ideas. Douglas is too young to make this decision. Thomas should never have gone to a lawyer on this subject without first talking to Hope. And Hope should quit caving into him. This is one time I think Steffy wants to do the right thing, but I don’t think allowing him to come live with her and her family until he is of age is the right one. So as messy as it will get with more lawyers back to the drawing board…and not dresses…here we go again. Thanks to Thomas again.
tricky story for sure but one thing Henry Joseph Samiri is a great younger actor definitely deserves an emmy nod and the win
Well, they are all related or have been step-relations, been married to each other, on and on… Does it even matter who Douglas goes with?
First of all, how stupid of anyone, including the Judge to not know that this sweet boy is picking his aunt so as not to hurt his mom or dad. Also this whole thing of Douglas choosing for himself was all Thomas’s idea. Douglas was as shocked as anyone when Thonas waltzed into Hope and Liam’s with the prepared papers, telling them that they would let Douglas decide for himself. Hope had nothing to do with “allowing” Douglas this choice as Steffy infers.I’m sure the poor kid was protecting his parents by not picking one over the other.
I feel this custody story is setting up a future plot. Douglas has driven many of the major stories lately. I feel there will some incident at the beach house that will involve a confrontation among Sheila, Hayes, and Douglas. The possibilities are endless (as all characters could be involved). This will tie in perfectly with May sweeps.
Officially stopped watching when it became the Shelia 2.0 show – the constant repeating of the same storyline over and over daily goes no where. Also the inability of the show to create sets for a multi-million dollar corporation is “silly”. Everyone shares two offices either the Eric/Ridge/Stephie “Presidents” office and the one across the hall. Maybe they could create a changing room or lockerroom set, so characters don’t have to undress and be walked in on in the “Presidents” office each week. What workplace, even a fashion house, allows employees to strip in their office space?

Apparently the models have their dressing rooms at least the others could use the private rest-room which most executive offices have to change clothes when necessary. The whole thing is stupid.
Wait get ready for it! Round 67 of Steffy Liam and Hope ! Finn is the only one with rational brains on this show if Sheila is a threat why would you put this little boy in the line of fire.
Did I not hear right, which is very possible, but did the judge not declare the time of Douglas’s custodial care to be until he was 18? Steffy and Hope keep using the term “young adult” and temporary. Hope and Liam even told the boy if things didn’t work out” just call us and we’ll come get you”. So, which way is it?

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Has Dylan’s Mystery Caller/Stalker Been Revealed to Be an Alive Luna Nozawa?
We have another scream machine on her hands at The Bold and the Beautiful after the dramatic ending of the May 1 episode, and that would be Dylan (Sydney Bullock)!
B&B is finally making some headway on just who was the person behind the mystery call that Dylan received telling her they have some “unfinished business.” At the time of the mysterious call, it was clear that the voice was altered to disguise the true identify of the person on the the other line.
On today’s show, after Dylan and Electra (Laneya Grace) exchange words in the wardrobe room about Dylan wanting to rebuild their trust and friendship and how Electra has issues stemming from way back trusting anyone after what Remy (Christian Weissmanm) did to her by befriending her and then plastering deep fake nude photos of her across social media.

The timing of Electra bringing up Remy is also interesting to us, as we had previously reported now that Christian Weissmann is back and on on contract with The Bold and the Beautiful, he’s already teased that Remy has another connection to someone on the canvas, which many are still believing its Dylan.
At the end of the episode, after Electra leaves the room, Dylan hears noises coming from behind the dress rack. She asks, “Jamie” is that with you? After no answer and a bit more hangar and dress ruffling, a figure steps out behind it, while Dylan is looking down at her tablet trying to get back to work.
When Dylan looks up, she lets out a scream that could be heard to Nebraska, as viewers see partial view of what looks to be a woman with long dark hair from the back. Dylan in shock, says, “It’s you!” We fade to black.
So, what’s going on here? Is the reason the caller said to her that we have “unfinished business” because on Monday, it will be revealed to actually be an alive and well, Luna (Lisa Yamada)? Did the two strikes some sort of deal, that allowed Dylan to help Luna escape after Luna supposedly died after Dylan ran her down with her car, which was all off-screen? Another theory, is the mystery caller is Remy and he is doing some sort of Luna fakeout on Dylan for a yet to be revealed reason.
What do you think is going on? Did Lisa Yamada just make an on-screen return to The Bold and the Beautiful? Share your thoughts and theories below, but first check out our recent interview from back in March on the Michael Fairman Channel when Lisa who attended the BBTV app launch party.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Nick Confesses His Drug Problem to Victor; Joshua Morrow, Mark Grossman, Eric Braeden Bring the Newman Bond
When The Young and the Restless can deliver an emotional side to their stories and their family dynamics, it usually makes for some great scenes delivered by their A-list cast.
Such was the case on the Friday, May 1 episode when Adam (Mark Grossman) and Nick (Joshua Morrow) returned to Genoa City and gave their father, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), an update on what had gone down with Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) in Las Vegas.
As Victor questioned, “What the hell happened?” Nick piped up, “We both made mistakes along the way, but we’re here now and we’re sorry for giving you so much worry on top of everything else that you’re dealing with,” which was in reference to Victor trying to reclaim his company Newman Enterprises et al.

NICK’S CONFESSION
Next, Nick, explains one of the ways he messed up while trying to go after Matt Clark, when he admitted to this father with tears in his eyes, “That’s one of the ways I messed up … I took Fentanyl willingly. Some of it was because of Matt, but most of it was on me. I was in a lot of pain, dad, after my accident, I was burning through my prescription meds really quickly after I left the hospital. I could see that it was becoming a problem. But honestly, I thought that I could manage it. I was wrong. I was out in LA and Matt had taken Noah (Lucas Adams) and Sienna (Tamara Braun) and he gave me this bag of pills and said I could use it to trade for information. When I went out to that drug warehouse, he was trying to convince me and Sharon (Sharon Case) that Noah was a drug addict. I just put the pills in my pocket of my jacket and I came back to Genoa City and I was in a lot of pain, dad, and I was wearing that jacket. I put my hands in the pocket and the pills were there.”
Nick sadly added, “I was desperate. I couldn’t get anymore prescription meds, so I took the fentanyl I’m deeply ashamed that I was so weak, but all I can do is stand here and tell you the truth that I’m going to make this right and I’ll get better.”
BROTHER TO BROTHER
Adam stood up for his brother and reconfirmed to Victor the plan for help Nick through his pill addiction, “Nick is already on his way to doing that. Sharon has set up an appointment with an outpatient facility. He’s going to do the meetings and he’s going to push through this better than ever.”

Courtesy/CBS
“You should also know that the only reason I’m standing here is because of Adam,” Nick confessed to Victor. “Every time I fell, you were there to pick me up. You risked your life to save me, and that’s not something I will ever forget.”
In the climatic and emotional ending of the scene, Nick in tears admits his shame to his dad, who comes in to give him hug. Nick says, “I’m so sorry. I know that this is the last thing you or this family needs.”
All three actors, Joshua Morrow, Mark Grossman and Eric Braeden, were excellent in this exchange in their scenes, but at its epicenter continues to be the Emmy-worthy performances by Y&R MVP, Joshua Morrow. Nick’s heartbreaking journey and fall from grace with his pill addiction problem has finally shown the clinks in the armor of the man who is always on the ready to help others … now he needs to let others help him through this. Can we do it?
So, what did you think of the scenes between the Newman man featuring Joshua, Mark and Eric on the Friday episode of Y&R? And though who watched also know that at the very end, Matt Clark who clearly has been injured wakes up from being conked out, so there is more revenge to come on the Newman clan. Share your thoughts below, but take a look at these scenes from a Canadian viewers who saw them air yesterday.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Sophia Seemingly Plans to End Her Life, But Not Before Setting Fire to Johnny’s Apartment With Him Trapped Inside
The final few moments of the Thursday, April 30 episode of Days of our Lives, will pave the way, to what just may be the end of Sophia Choi’s (Rachel Boyd) life, but not as you may think!
After an unhinged Sophia paid a visit to Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), maced him in the eyes, knocked him out and then tied up to a chair, now conscious, she lets him know that she holds him responsible for all the trouble and trauma she has gone through from adopting her child, and her being sent to a mental institution.
So instead of the unregistered gun Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) gave her to finish off Johnny, Sophia sets up a plan to light candle, use nail polish remover and turn on the gas on the stove to ultimately create a mass explosion, which although Johnny pleaded to her not to that to all the innocent people inside his apartment building, she doesn’t seem to care.

FIERY FACE OFF
The plan was supposed to be, after she takes care of Johnny she will toss the gun in the Salem River, then focus on payback to Holly Jonas before leaving town to start a new life.
Now, Sophia makes her exit, leaving Johnny to be a few moments away from an explosion or gas inhalation, when Chanel (Raven Bowens) comes home after awaiting the results of her mammogram. She sees Johnny tied up, as he panics and tells her to put out the flame on the candle, things go awry, and a fire has begun and everything may go up in flames with Johnny and Chanel inside.

A BROKEN SOPHIA
Back in her room, Sophia breaks down after reading the social media comments about her, she planted, and then starts writing a suicide or farewell note which says. “I’m tired of begging for forgiveness for my mistakes. All I wanted was to move forward, to be loved and understood. But it’s clear that I was never going to get that. Holly Jonas said that I was dead to her. So, as her former BFF, I’m going to make her dream a reality.”

A DEADLY TRAP
Now, the fate of Johnny, Chanel and Sophia will be revealed on tomorrow’s May 1st cliffhanger, which may be the end of Sophia when she crosses paths with Kirsten at the bridge near the river. We do know Rachel Boyd is no longer appearing in the show credits section and is now off contract with the soap.
So, what did you think of the climatic final moments of DAYS? What did you think of the performance of Rachel Boyd as Sophia Choi? Let us know via the comment section.
