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.

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.

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
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.
