THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Happy Birthday Steffy Forrester! What Did You Think of the 9000th Episode?
All hail The Bold and the Beautiful’s Steffy Forrester! Now after all, it is her birthday, and this supermom, wife, and Co-CEO of Forrester Creations is quite the force to be reckoned with. With today also marking the 9000th episode milestone of the CBS daytime drama series, why not make it a special episode devoted to the character, and its two-time Daytime Emmy-winning actress, Jacqueline MacInnes Wood.
Throughout the half-hour, Steffy spends a few moments with her dad, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), who gets her the the most fashionable of birthday cakes, then presents her with a slideshow of the life and times of his daughter all the way from when she was a child, to a teen, to a young adult. Steffy has plans for her birthday with her hubby Finn (Tanner Novlan) so she needs to skedaddle, but dad wants her to hang out a little longer with him. In the end, Finn wins out, and she heads home.

Now at the cliff house, Steffy comes upon a homemade birthday card from her kids, when Liam (Scott Clifton) shows up. He says he plans on not staying long, although he did stay long enough for the exes to walk down memory lane, complete with the original song from Scott Clifton that aired previously, and a montage of some of the duos most heartfelt moments.
Meanwhile, back at Forrester Creations, Taylor (Krista Allen) and Ridge praise their daughter. Taylor is happy that the former ‘wild child’ has found a man to love her like Finn.
Back at Steffy’s, Finn set the tone for a romantic night celebrating his wife with some of her favorite food and wine. Steffy shares to Finn that this birthday means more because he came back to her when she believed he had died, and how they received a second chance at a life together.

Cue the flashbacks of Finn, after being shot by Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) and Steffy over his body, and later their long-awaited reunion in Monaco where the church bells rang when as they ran towards each other. Next, Finn gives Steffy a birthday gift. When she opens it, Steffy finds a small remote. When she pushes the button, the bells from the church in Monte Carlo play. As Finn and Steffy kiss in front of the fireplace, the camera pans out to a an exterior shot of Finn and Steffy at the cliff house revealing the outside sky and fireworks that go off that say ‘9000’ – a great touch to acknowledge the series milestone.
You can check out the final moments of B&B’s 9000th episode below.
Now, let us know, what did you think of the show devoted to Steffy? Share your thoughts and your congratulations to B&B in the comment section for hitting another milestone in their 36-year run.
Did not watch but just read it so prepare yourself for another round of Liam & Steffy! What a awful outfit she has on
Pretty sure Liam and Steffy will be reuniting again and poor Gorgeous Finn will be out ♀️ this sucks lol but I love the drama & I’m so excited to see what they do next!! I Looove Steffy!! She’s the BEST!! Congrats on your 4th pregnancy im so excited for you im praying it’s a girl this time!! You have to have some equality in that house girl you’re outnumbered lol! Hopefully not for long lol! I have a huge feeling though that A certain “Bad Boy” and HOPE will be having some sexy time on set!! Iykyk
I’ve been watching this show since I was like 6 years old & I haven’t stopped since it’s one of my favor soaps the other is Y&R!! B&B & Y&R my favvvvss!! Love you all so much you’re amazing!! ♥️
I’ve never understood hers (JMW) or this show’s appeal. In the 80s with Susan Flannery it was probably good but now it’s seems like woke drivel. I like Heather Tom a lot tho.
A wonderful tribute to Steffy Forrester and the beautiful actress, Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, who portrays her, in honor of The Bold & the Beautiful’s 9,000th episode.
The 9000th show sucked. I don’t think it should have been all about Steffy. She hasn’t been there for even half that many episodes! It should have focused on the original players still left: Eric Forrester, Ridge Forrester and Brooke Logan. (Taylor was not an original character, before anyone jumps on me about including her.) Jacqueline Macginnis Wood is not the show. I’ll NEVER understand how or why she wins the awards she does. She is not a very good actress. And for pete’s sake, she needs to decide if she is going to be an actress or a baby making machine! Now she will br off on another pregnancy leave and the show will be repeating the same storyline and dialogue for months upon months again! I’m not anti-woman or anti-child, but if it’s going to constantly interfere with your job, then pick family or work. Sorry, but I am old fashioned like that.
I agree but maybe they may do other feature shows. I agree the OG’s should’ve been honoured. Brooke is the backbone of the show. Steffy is great too. Happy for them all on 9000!
I do wish it was more about Steffy and her history on the show; both the actress and the character, and a lot less about Finn. But It was wonderful that they recognize this actress for her 15 years PLUS she is number 3 in episode count, right behind Kelly and John. That’s a lot of work! Her loyalty to the show is phenomenal. She deserves the honor. (Despite what the haters in your other comments say).
Yes, so happy for her but they could’ve added something at the beginning re the OG’s to honour them— reflecting on Steffy as a leader and innovator “next gen” type thing. It would have been respectful and inclusive ♥️
Missed the episode as it was pre-empted here in Ca in favor of crappy Soccer.
I have never been a Steffy fan as they started her out being deceptive, coniving and a most dislikeable self-centered character. She always seems to get just what she is after by any means that she chooses. I am just not fond of a character that displays those attributes. Not that Jacqueline MacInnes Wood dosen’t do an excellant job, she does, I guess that may be the reason I dislike her (Steffy) so much.
B.L Robinson,
I couldn’t have said it better myself. She sure takes after her Grandmother Stefanie. Unlike today’s show when Ridge was bragging about passing his artistic talent on to Ridge, Jr., that he inherited from HIS dad, Eric. They forgot that Ridge is not Eric’s s son but Masimo Marone’s.
General Hospital
Could Kristen Vaganos and Josh Kelly Be Exiting ‘General Hospital?’

General Hospital fans took to social media following the airing of the Wednesday, October 21 episode of the ABC daytime drama series. In story, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) reveals to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) that she has received an offer to join the top law firm in Chicago that practices civil law. She says it’s her dream job.
The problem Molly says is relocating from Port Charles and uprooting her life and being away from her mother, Scout and boyfriend Cody Bell (Josh Kelly). Wistful that she may lose another daughter to a long-distance situation (Kristina left a few months back to go to medical school in California), Alexis urged Molly to get Cody to go with her.
Molly still seemed concerned and has trouble committing to the idea. Alexis tells her to talk it over with Cody. Meanwhile, Cody asked Tracy (Jane Elliot) is he can have Thanksgiving off because he and Molly planned to spend Thanksgiving together with their families. After initially balking, Tracy agrees.

WILL MOLLY AND CODY HEAD TO CHI-TOWN?
Later, Cody shows up at Miller & Davis and the conversation turned to Thanksgiving dinner that Alexis is hosting. Molly and Cody asked her not to cook anything. Cody hugged Molly reassuring Alexis that he and Molly would take care of whatever was needed on Turkey Day.
So, this raises the question, why out of nowhere are we learning that Molly received an amazing law offer in Chicago, if the character was not being written out? If Molly leaves the canvas, would the character of Cody make his exit too?
Kristen Vaganos joined GH as a recast Molly Lansing-Davis back in September of 2023 and went on contract in August of 2024. Josh Kelly began playing Cody Bell back in June of 2022. Initial reports were that Kelly joined the show on contract and then as of June 2025 went on recurring status with the show per his choice.
Do you see a world where GH is writing out Molly and Cody? Would you be sad to see Kristen and Josh exit the soap opera? If this is not what is going on, is this just a plot point for some other story that is upcoming? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Adam Delivers Sally’s Baby as Billy Reels from Jill’s Health Crisis in Tearjerker Episode

The Tuesday, October 20 episode saw The Young and the Restless deliver some deeply-poignant moments in the aftermath of Billy (Jason Thompson) and Sally’s (Courtney Hope) wedding.
The scenes which will be talked about for some time to come, because of how they can impact longterm story, had Adam (Mark Grossman) being the one to deliver Billy and Sally’s baby, while Billy was gut-punched by a phone call from Snapper Foster that Jill had suffered a heart attack in London.
In story, while up in Sally’s room at the GCAC, wishing his ex all the happiness, (because Adam and Billy have no love lost, and he didn’t want to cause waves), Sally’s water broke. In true soapy fashion, all phones were dead. Sally’s phone was missing because it was with Audra (Zuleyka Silver), Adam’s battery ran out etc. Prior to that, Adam did try to call Billy, but Billy did not pick up his calls, as he was with Cane (Billy Flynn) coming to terms with the news on Jill.

TORN BETWEEN RUNNING TO HIS MOTHER OR HIS NEW WIFE AND BABY
Now in the perfect storm of circumstances, Adam is the one to help Sally deliver her baby when she begged him to stay with er screaming, “Please don’t make me do this alone!” Adam reminded Sally that he’d already delivered a baby twice before. She assured him that it will be OK, and not to be scared, because this isn’t the same set of circumstances when she lost their daughter, Ava, during childbirth.
Downstairs, Billy is in tears over his mother. So too is Cane. Cane speaks to Jill on the phone when Snapper holds the phone to her while at her hospital bed. He tells her he loves her. Billy cannot bring himself to talk to his mom.
Cane decides he will go to London. Billy doesn’t know what to do with a new wife and a baby on the way. It’s clear how much losing Jill would devastate Billy. Cane tells Lily (Christel Khalil) what has happened to Jill, and Billy informs Jack (Peter Bergman) before he tries to find his bride who is upstairs in her room.

A NEW ABBOTT
Back in Sally’s room, eventually Adam asks Sally (who is deep in labor), if she thought she was having a girl or boy, and she said a boy. But then, Adam introduced her to her “beautiful, perfect baby girl.” It was a moment laced with so much history for Adam and Sally and Adam and Billy, when you think of the deaths of Ava and Deliah.
As Sally cradled her newborn little bundle of joy, Adam went to go get Billy at her request, and as he made his way to the door, Billy was standing there. Billy is stunned to see his rival standing, but then Sally tells Billy to meet his daughter!
Billy rushes to the bedside to be my his new wife and daughter, with the heartbreaking final shot of Adam emotionally overcome thinking of the baby he has lost with Sally. and how he wishes things could have turned out differently in a bittersweet moment.

EMOTIONAL PERFORMANCES
The episode was laced with hankie-inducing moments from Jason Thompson, Courtney Hope, Mark Grossman and Billy Flynn, who each delivered, to bring this story so much heart and history. There is plenty of Emmy material within for next year for these four.
You can check out the final moments of yesterday’s episode where Billy meets his daughter for the first time, followed by the final shot of Adam at the door below, followed by our live chat replay with Y&R stars, Jason Thompson and Courtney Hope which streamed immediately after this episode aired in all timezones on the Michael Fairman Channel.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Finn Blows a Gasket After Steffy Reveals She’s Gone Ahead and Become Carter and Daphne’s Surrogate

On the Monday, October 19 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, after Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) stammering around and trying to find a way to couch her lie to her husband, Finn (Tanner Novlan), she finally admits what she has been dreading telling him.
But not before, Finn and Steffy rehash Monaco, Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown), and how it was turning point in their lives (that’s an understatement) with Finn reiterating, “Our marriage is precious. What we have is pure and true.”
Finn promises Sheila is out of their lives for good, and Steffy chokes back tears saying how she wished she hadn’t removed her ring and hightailed it out of Monaco. She says she wishes she could take that back, but she can’t.

Steffy tells Finn she has a lot to say. Finn tells her there is nothing they can’t overcome. Steffy says she made a significant decision while he was away. She goes to to say what a great friend Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) has been to her. Finn asks if Daphne and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) are still interviewing to find a surrogate? Steffy says they found someone and the process has begun, and its “me.”
Finn gulps, “What do you mean it’s you?” Steffy eeks out of her mouth, “I agreed to be Daphne and Carter’s surrogate.” Finn, who is a doctor no less says, “I don’t understand!” He explains he knows there is a list of medical and legal hurdles someone has to go through before a woman can become a surrogate for a couple. He also tells Steffy he knows she could never carry a child and give it up.
Next, Finn tells Steffy she’s wonderful for considering to do this for Carter and Daphne, but she’ll have to tell them no. Steffy says it’s too late. That while he was out of town they went ahead with the procedure. Finn asks, “What procedure?” Steffy responds, “The fertilization of the eggs.” Finn learns they used Steffy’s frozen eggs and did the implantation and loses it!
“I can’t believe you went and did that! This isn’t something a wife does when their husband is out of town on a business trip,” hollers Finn. He cannot believe what he is hearing and that his wife just went and did this without him! He pushes back on Steffy. demanding answers, “There’s more going on here. What is it? Steffy? Tell me!” We fade to black.
You can check out the pivotal scene between Finn and Steffy below.
Now weigh-in: are you glad Finn is as of now not being a doofus? That he is pushy back on Steffy? Do you think Steffy will continue with this lie or admit she slept with Carter and became pregnant? Either way, would Finn stay with his wife while she became a surrogate for Carter and Daphne? Let us know in the comment section.
