THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Esther & Lauren Arrive in Los Angeles for the Forrester Creations Couture Fashion Showdown
On Wednesday’s October 25th episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, the soap opera set against the backdrop of the world of high fashion, kicked off its first of a five episode arc.
In it, Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) will go up against his father, Eric Forrester (John McCook) for Forrester Creations Couture dominance via a fashion show featuring their latest designs. However, what Ridge does not know is that Eric has six months to live.
As the hustle and bustle of getting things ready for the show begins, Genoa City’s Esther Valentine (Kate Linder) and Lauren Fenmore (Tracey Bregman) arrive at Forrester Creations to see Lauren’s dear friend, Eric. For Esther, this is all a dream come true. Think Esther Valentine in OZ and you struck the right chord.

Esther has dreamed of owning a Forrester original, just like the ones Mrs. Chancellor (the late Jeanne Cooper), used to wear. Lauren believes this will be Esther’s chance to make her dreams come true – citing that it’s important to not waste a moment in life, because life is too short.
As the chairs for the fashion show are being prepped, Charlie (Dick Christie) has a call with Pam trying to convince her to come to the fashion show, but she is disinterested and says she was in the middle of making lemon bars. Sitting down in a chair, Charlie says to himself, “I’m such a loser when it comes to love.”
When Lauren goes into Eric’s office, he is thrilled to see her. Eric boasts that this collection is his best ever and will be his grand finale. A shocked and inquisitive Lauren says, “What do you mean your grand finale?” What Lauren is unaware of is that Eric has had terrible tremors and has been coughing up more and more blood throughout the day.
Outside of Eric’s office, Esther looks around the receptionist desk, where it appears she has gone all ‘klepto’ on us, when she appears to be putting something in her purse. Charlie happens by and catches her. When Charlie wants to see what’s in Esther’s purse, she reveals a feather duster and admits she’s compulsive cleaner. Turns out, Charlie is too! The two seem to hit it off and they smile at one another. When Lauren comes to get Esther, she and Charlie says goodbye, which Lauren catches. Is Charlie going to be Esther’s new love interest in a B&B and Y&R crossover? Will Charlie move to GC? Is this just a little flirting between two lonely people? Stay tuned.

Now inside Eric’s office, Esther meets the legendary fashion house patriarch. He kisses her hand and she is starstruck. Eric learns from Esther that she worked for the classy and elegant Katherine Chancellor, who always wore his designs. When Lauren and Esther exit and once alone, Eric begins coughing up blood in his handkerchief and stuffs it in the trash. Eric is determined to make it through this fashion show, no matter what the cost!
Check out the scene between Eric and Lauren below. Do you think she will put two-and-two together and realize something is very wrong with Eric?
Now, let us know what you thought of Esther and Lauren’s adventure at Forrester Creations, and if you would be down for a Charlie and Esther romance via the comment section.
No way YR will bring back Charlie to GC. Esther rarely is on. They don’t even write characters like Lauren besides using her to babysit Phyllis. I don’t understand why Lauren had to bring back Esther. I watch Lauren since more 35 years and even if she changed & matured, she wouldn’t bore to make the Esther’s dreams to come true, especially since they aren’t close. Lauren could come alone, she did it numerous times.
At least, we get to see Lauren. It’s great she gets 5 episodes on #BoldandBeautiful, something #YR refuses to give her.
Who in the world would want Lauren to came to LA and not see Sheila? These writers are unreal!
Ugh I hope Esther chokes on a lemon square!
That’s what I kept thinking. Give her some of Pam’s lemon bars to shut her up and leave Pam’s man alone. She should be back from GH by now.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Carter and Steffy Have Drunken Sex … Or Did They?

On the Tuesday, August 18 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, viewers were tuned-in to see if Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor), who were were both on benders, wound up having sex in the Forrester Creations CEO office.
As the Monday, August 17 episode concluded, Carter and Steffy shared a close moment where it looked like they would kiss. Now in the pick up which starts the morning after, Steffy awakens from the couch in the office, and realizes she has no clothes on and is mortified to see Carter on the end of the couch also naked and under blankets.
In that moment, Steffy realizes they had sex, and begins to unravel to Carter as she scrambles to get dressed: “We shouldn’t have done this. Oh my God, I shouldn’t have done this!”

STEFFY RACES TO GET HOME
Steffy’s panic of the situation escalates when she finds her phone, and sees multiple text messages from her husband, Finn (Tanner Novlan), desperately trying to reach her. He told Steffy he was on his way home from Monaco.
Suddenly, a hungover Carter speaks up and agrees. He says to Steffy they made a terrible mistake and wanted to talk about it, but Steffy kiboshed any discussion, not dealing with Carter, and racing home to be with her kids and Finn. As a disheveled Steffy ran out of Forrester, Carter stayed behind to straighten up the office and get rid of any remnants of their drunken binge.
Just then, Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) showed up as Carter is shocked. She apologized for running out on him, and details how when she got to the airport to board the plane to Paris, she realized she couldn’t leave him. She loved him too much, and asks him to please forgive her and her, “terrible mistake.” Daphne hugs Carter and he looks like a man who has no idea what to do or make of this entire situation in the moment.

WHAT WILL BE THE REPERCUSSIONS OF CARTER AND STEFFY’S DRUNKEN NIGHT TOGETHER?
Cut to: Steffy comes home and runs into her mother, Taylor (Rebecca Budig). She explains what happened with Finn and Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) in Monaco. Next, Steffy details how she took off her wedding ring after Taylor noticed it was no longer on her finger. Just then, Finn arrives. Taylor leaves the two to talk. Finn begs for Steffy’s forgiveness and the episode comes to an end with Steffy facing away from Finn and towards the camera, trying to figure out what to do next. Take him back?
Now the real story begins: it would appear that the intent was to have Carter and Steffy face long-lasting consequences of their drunken night together. So that, Steffy would become pregnant with Carter’s child, which would cause the ripple effect in Carter’s marriage to Daphne, who is unable to carry a child.
One other theory, unless, Carter and Steffy believe they had sex, but they passed out in compromising positions but nothing ever happened? Perhaps one of them, or both will have flashbacks of them carrying on together on the couch? Were they set up? Stay tuned.
So, we ask you. What happens from here? Steffy gets pregnant with Carter’s child? Does Steffy goes back to Finn? Carter goes back with Daphne? They really never had drunken sex? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, take a look below, and a bit of what went down when Steffy and Carter realize what happened between them.

WWE SmackDown: Chelsea Green Steals the Show

In what has been heralded as one of the best in-ring promo in a longtime, Chelsea Green got her flowers, with the WWE Universe rallying around her during the Friday’s August 14 edition of WWE SmackDown on USA Network. In question, was what would be the fate of the WWE’s Interim Women’s World Championship belt that Green won in a ladder match at SummerSlam earlier in August.
The issue: in an unbelievably real-life continued streak of bad luck for Green, she suffered an injury during the April 7 edition of SmackDown in a tag match match-up teaming with Tiffany Stratton against the Women’s tag team champs, Fatal Influence. During the match, Green broke her orbital bone after taking the Fatal Flaw from FI’s Lainey Reid, when she landed awkwardly on Green’s face.
From there: Green knew she was also going to have to take time off to recover, but she, nor the WWE Universe, wanted to see her have to relinquish the title because of it. So, when SmackDown GM Nick Aldis came to the ring to tell Chelsea she has to give up the belt, an impassioned plea from Green went over with huge pop to the crowd and those at home, plus changed Aldis’ mind.

CHELSEA GREEN STANDS HER GROUND
Green expressed, “I knew when I climbed that ladder and I took that title, I was just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Because every single time something good and magical happens to me in this business, it’s followed by something devastating. That’s just my story, isn’t it? That’s just Chelsea Green, the comic relief. The perfect opponent for the rest of the girls. Never the champion. Never the QB1.”
Then, Chelsea launched into the sacrifices she has made, and how she came to work and always did her best, even when she was discounted. Green stood her ground with Aldis that she earned the title and that until someone takes it off of her, it belongs to her! Green also appealed to Aldis’ human side after what he accomplished at SummerSlam, too. The GM laced up his boots and wrestlers for the first time in three years and in front of his young son, against Gunther.
Aldis heard the message loud and clear. He decided to ignore his GM formal duty, and agreed to give Green 30 days to get cleared before forcing her to have to relinquish the title. The crowd broke out in “Yes!” chants (circa Daniel Bryan).
MATT CARDONA SAVES HIS WIFE FROM GUNTHER
However, the drama didn’t stop here! Oh, no! Gunther interrupted the moment and threw insults at Aldis and Green, until none other than Matt Cardona came out from the back to defends his wife! It was great to see Cardona and Green, real-life marrieds, in an angle together on SmackDown. Cardona and Gunther went at each other, with ultimately Cardona getting the worst of it which led to an impromptu match!
Mickie James, former WWE superstar and wife of Nick Aldis took to social media on Sunday and gave high marks to Green’s promo: “Congratulations to Chelsea Green for delivering not just one of her greatest promos…. But legitimately one of THE GREATEST PROMOS I’ve ever watched. I felt every moment. She felt every word. That is how it should be done. You are a star my love. Everyone should take notes.”
Watch Chelsea Green’s talked about moment from Friday Night SmackDown below.
Now weigh-in: did you love Chelsea Green’s promo spot where she spoke of coming back from injury, being the butt of jokes, working hard to gain respect, and not willing to easily part with the highly-coveted Women’s World Title, because she got injured in a match?
