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?

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.

General Hospital

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny and Jason Trade Threats on Each Other

The love affair that once was mobster Sonny (Maurice Benard) and hit man Jason (Steve Burton), and having each others back, is now apparently over! On the Thursday April 25th episode of General Hospital, an increasingly paranoid Sonny is confronted by Jason.

Jason wants to talk to Sonny about a “family matter”, but Sonny says they aren’t family now because he’s working with the Feds. Sonny goes on to say how he cannot trust Carly (Laura Wright) or Jason and he knows about Jason buying back the Metro Court for Carly from Nina (Cynthia Watros).

When the conversation turns to Josslyn (Eden McCoy) and Dex (Evan Hofer), Jason informs Sonny that Kristina (Kate Mansi) knows Sonny ordered a hit. Jason is worried about Dex’s safety. He tells Sonny that if he does something to Dex, Kristina will figure out that he is responsible.

Sonny goes on to say how much he loves his kids and how he will protect them. He then tears into Jason for abandoning his sons, Danny and Jake, for two years and how he has no right to stand there to tell him what to do.

Jason warns Sonny again to leave Dex alone or he’ll personally stop him. Sonny snaps at Jason, countering, “You’ll die trying!” And at that point, Jason walks out and Sonny slams the door behind him.

What do you think about this split in the longstanding relationship of Jason and Sonny? Do you like Jason and Sonny at odds? Will Kristina be the person to ultimately figure out what is happening to Sonny, or it might it be Nina, who knows Ava (Maura West) is up to no good? Share your thoughts in the comment section, but first watch this clip from part of the Sonny/Jason scenes below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Brook Lynn and Chase Have Their Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties

On General Hospital, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) both were treated to Bachelorette and Bachelor parties to shake off any of those pre-wedding jitters. At The Savoy, the ladies have a touching and fun time with Brook Lynn.

The bride-to-be gives a speech to thank everyone for coming, while Lois lets everyone know to try the signature cocktail the “Brooklynn Chaser”, which gets everybody eventually and mostly, drunk.

When Tracy (Jane Elliot) questions Lois (Rena Sofer) as to why there is no music for the party, Lois realizes she forgot, and somehow, who does she call to the rescue? Spinelli (Bradford Anderson)! Saving the day, he winds up playing some tunes and later gets on the dance floor to ‘shake it off’ with the gals.

Lois makes a speech as the mother of the bride, and shares how proud she is of the woman Brook Lynn has become. Wedding games begin, including one of “hot potato” with a wedding bouquet.

When it’s time for the “Silly Poses” section of the party, Spinelli has now morphed from DJ to staff photographer taking memorable photos of the ladies to remember the evening by.

The best part of the event, was when Brook Lynn tries to get her grandmother Tracy out on the dance floor, which, at first, she refuses. After several of the guests bust a move, a tipsy Tracy joins the dance party after Joss mentions that if her grandmother Bobbie was here, she would dance. Tracy says “she agrees” and begins to cut a rug on the floor, much to the delight of the other women.

In the final moments, a tipsy Joss and Kristina (Kate Mansi) have a confrontation about Sonny, and Joss lets Kristina in more on Sonny’s behavior, which looks to have clued in Kristina a bit more as to how something is way off about her dad.

Across town at the Hatchett Bar, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and the men with the exception of Anna (Finola Hughes) and Jordan (Tanisha Harper), all attend Chase’s Bachelor Party where throwing hatchets into a dart board for supremacy is the order of the day. Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Ned (Wally Kurth) get into some words over ELQ, while Dante makes a toast to his police partner, Chase.

Suddenly Dex (Evan Hofer) shows up. Chase thanks Dex for coming, but Dex gets some dirty looks from other cops on the force. Dante gives Chase his present, which is a signed baseball by the Boston Red Sox.

Ned (Wally Kurth) makes a speech that although no one is good enough for his daughter, Brook Lynn, Chase has come closer than anyone has, so welcome to the family. Running in at the end is Blaze (Jacqueline Grace Lopez), who just left Brook Lynn’s party, and she toasts her singing partner, Chase, and to the great man that he is.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Nina Confronts Ava for Sabotaging Her Relationship With Sonny and Signs the Divorce Papers

Looks like Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Ava (Maura West) are back to be each other’s sworn enemy number one. By the end of the Monday, April 22nd episode of General Hospital, the women know where they stand with each other after Nina goes in on Ava accusing her of wanting Sonny (Maurice Benard) all to herself, while her marriage has been on the rocks.

In story, at Nina’s office, Ava shows up to see Nina and says she is sorry about what happened with Sonny and that he reacted the way he did, acknowledging that is was over the top, even for Sonny. Ava says she’ll smooth things over, but Nina says she now understands how manipulative and transparent Ava really is.

Given their horrible history, Nina goes in on Ava and how she should never have trusted her. Nina wants to know how long has Ava had this agenda dating all the way back to telling Nina to turn Carly (Laura Wright) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) into the SEC. Ava says she never told her do to that, but Nina wants to know how long Ava has been playing her for a fool.

Ava says she moved in with Sonny to keep Avery safe and she wants to be on good terms with Avery’s father, Sonny. Nina thinks she likes being in Sonny’s inner circle. Ava tells Nina if she goes to him about her advising Nina to call the SEC on Carly and Drew, it won’t work.  Sonny still considers Nina a traitor and he will think she’s lying because she’s so desperate to win him back. Ava says if Nina would stop blaming everyone else that maybe Sonny would respect her.  Nina says “like he does you?” Ava says Sonny not only respects her, but he also counts on her.

From there, Ava launches into why she and Sonny understand each other, after all, Sonny is a powerful, turbulent, and sometimes violent man. She goes so far to say if Nina wanted someone to just sit by the fire with and play with their grandchildren, she’s got the wrong guy.  Ava then talks about Mike from Nixon Falls (Sonny with amnesia) and how Sonny hid the darkest parts of himself from Nina back then, whereas with Ava they are the same similar creatures, so he doesn’t have to hide anything.

Nina wants to know just what Ava wants with Sonny? What is her end game? Ava responds that they understand each other, in ways she can’t with Sonny. Nina tells Ava she can go ahead and have it all and signs Sonny’s divorce papers. Ava walks out with the documents, while Nina in tears at her desk, takes off her wedding rings and has her assistant come in so she can messenger the rings back to Sonny’s address.

The episode and these scenes featured great performances by Cynthia Watros and Maura West. You can check some of the scenes below.

Now, let us know, what is Ava’s next move? Is she going to become Mrs. Sonny Corinthos? Do you like Ava and Nina as enemies? Comment below.
