THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Is This The Summer Of Brill?
Courtesy/CBS
Things are heating up as the days of summer kick in! And on The Bold and the Beautiful, two longtime lovestruck duos look to be getting back into each others orbit, well one is definitely looking to get in between the sheets!
In this newly released promo from CBS Daytime, it looks like Dollar Bill’s (Don Diamont) passion for Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) is about to take him over. Is this finally the end of Bill and Katie’s (Heather Tom) life together? Will Brooke once and for all, never look back, and just do all that she can to be with Bill? Will Brooke betray her sister again? Is Katie just to unstable to ever truly keep Bill for herself? Should Katie set out to destory Brill? These are the questions coming up on the number two rated daytime drama series.
Meanwhile against all odds, can Liam (Scott Clifton) get Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) back? He lost his memory, was tricked by Quinn (Rena Sofer), and even his own brother, Wyatt (Darin Brooks) “married” the woman he loves! But will true love conquer all?
Watch B&B’s hot summer promo after the jump! Then let us know, are you rooting for Brill? Do you want Steffy back with Liam? Comment below!
Why does every Brooke story take place on her back! Find something for her to do besides bed men!
I love Brooke Logan, she is a slut. Which is fine with me. Lol.
I agree with you. I have been watching the show on and off since its conception, and it seems that the only thing Brooke is capable of doing is screwing other people’s men. She must have some sort of brain in her head since she was able to create the Belief formula. Why don’t they bring that back and tie that in with the lingerie line and she can be in charge of what she originally started. Have Brooke revamp Brooke’s Bedroom. But I guess Brooke would not be Brooke if sh wasn’t on her back once in awhile. And how many more years can she shove R.J. away at boarding school. Let bond with her other son instead of crying over being alone in that big house. I really enjoyed Liam throwing Bill’s words back at him when he went to the house to discuss the earring he found in the ” napping room “. Bill had such a smug look on his face after that. Now the the question is, what will Katie do when she finds out? Will she A) drink herself into oblivion, B) have a severe bout of depression or C) take Bill to court, divorce him, and bleed him dry. I say let her be the strong women that she is and take him for all he’s worth.
She has 2 sons she could bind with, RJ and Jack!! Lol
With all of the scenes of Katie apologizing to both Bill and Brooke, something tells me she is setting them up for their own failure…how does a wife just “accept” that her husband and her sister love one another and always will?
Hey, we all have our talents, hahaha!
I agree. I want her to be the new Stephanie in the mix. Strong, independent, one who has learned from her experiences. How many times can we go down this near incestuous road? That said, if B&B puts Bill and Brooke together, I want this to be it for Brooke. I want more for this character. I would prefer Bill and Katie work it out. I like their chemistry and how they come together from different perspectives.
As for Steffy and Liam, please put a fork in it and call that one finished, too! The conflict holds no allure any more. I don’t care.
She should be on top for a change-lol
Its ‘The Bed and The Beautiful!’-lol
JimL…How true!
HA! So true!
Reallllly tired of Liam ping pong
girls. Get one who wont bounce around
on him.PHULEEEEESE
Reallllly tired of Liam & ping pong
girls. Get one who wont bounce around
on him.PHULEEEEESE. How about a legitimate love story for him? NOT QUINN!!!
Thank you clh!!!!!
I agree with you as it appears this is the only job that she knows how to do!!!
Same old storyline only the men change.
She’s a human “mattress”…..
Par Excellence!
New title of this soap should be: “Wash, Rinse, & Repeat” nothing new here Bradley we can all move along.
Brill (Brooke and Bill) are a very bad thing. It ruins both characters and all their relationships. And I’m afraid, that even if it is a summer fling and Brooke comes to her senses, it will have ruined $Bill for the rest of his time on the show. Bill was the one man on the show near Brooke’s age that had not become like every other man and been caught in Brooke’s net. That is gone.
Steam (Steffy and Liam) can get past this and be an anchor couple on the show. Not a triangle, but an anchor, much like Stephanie and Eric. Twists, turns, danger, affairs, but you know they will always end up together, usually at Christmas. They can be involved individually in their two families and companies and bring the families together after a year’s worth of angst.
At least that is my opinion.
The only reason I am tuning in is for the “Brill” storyline. As ridiculous as it is, it reminds me of the good ol’ fashioned smut stories of the 80’s (AMC’s Erica having an affair with Travis’ brother, Jack). Bill’s rationalization of staying married to Katie (only being able to if he can have a “relationship” with Brooke), his hypocrisy regarding Liam, Steffy, and Whiner (Wyatt) is just comical. If I were Brooke, the first thing I would think of (besides this is my sister’s husband) is that Bill is going to be expected to bed his wife every so often-which is just disgusting.
As far as Liam, Steffy, and the Whiner-can Wyatt be any more desperate to hold on to his wife? The scene at the town clerk’s office said it all, when it was confirmed that the marriage was legal, “OH, thank God.” I cringe when the Whiner is in scenes. The character is just so desperate.
He seems only able to go after his brother’s “leftovers”. There are other women in the world. I thought he had a real chance with Ivey, but she magically still had feelings for Liam-out of the blue. Wyatt had such low esteem, he tried to bogard her into a marrying him anyway. As much as GH lets me down and keeps expanding the cast to include the entire world, it is becoming the only one that I can stomach.
I think loyal fans deserve so much better for our loyalty than what we are being fed. Better writing and acting. I too miss the “golden era” of soapdom, but it’s obviously gone now. Thank gosh for TCM!
Does Bell have any original ideas left. I have B&B for just a few years but it seem that they have revamped a couple stories over and over. Like REALLY 2 brothers after the same woman twice. Good Lord it reeks of lame writing
Kmayne…sorry for the Jimh message. I’m also fairly new to B&B. Really agree with your comment. It’s amazing how much, or how little they do with the number of actors on B&B compared to GH which is overcast. They just seem to rotate the same actors with variations on the same storyline. Wonder if Hope will come back again just to “mix” it up?
Brill?…sounds like something i clean my sinks with!!!-lol
Tell me did RJ fall in a hole ? Ridge and Brooke’s kid never discussed and when was Steffy & Liam this love story I thought he always went back to Hopeless and never a mention of Taylor would you not think Thomas and Steffy mention their Mom. Ugh
I tend to think of B&B as a comic book version of a daytime drama, which, in and of itself, is not necessarily a bad thing. As a result, I don’t hold it to the same standards as I do the other soaps. It’s beautiful to look at and does not require nor merit much critical analysis. I think if it strove for more artistic integrity it would be fair to judge it on that basis. It is like cotton candy. I would not rate it on the same scale as fine cuisine, but it sure tastes good!
I want to mitigate my previous comment by saying that B&B is capable of delivering meaningful and profound daytime drama, particularly as it relates to social issues. My comments mainly related to its romantic stories and the constant shuffling and reshuffling of partners without regard to any meaningful motivation. Also, there are some really great actors among its cast. I watch it and I enjoy it, but I don’t tend to regard it in the same way that I do the other soaps.
What I detest most about these types of stories, where one sibling is having an affair with the spouse of the other is enduring the endless conversations where they keep saying how wrong it is, how they shouldn’t hurt so and so, all the annoying fake guilt and self justification– please we all know it is wrong, we all know the writers are going to have the characters go down that road, so at least spare us from listening to them act like it is some big moral dilemma when it isn’t for them, otherwise they wouldn’t even think about doing it
And as much as I would love Brad to give up his reliance on the love triangle, the whole Steffy Liam and Wyatt thing will go on for years or until one of the actors leaves the show, like when Hope was written out and the misery that was Hope Liam Steffy or Liam Hope and Wyatt finally ended.
Here’s a thought let Wyatt and Brooke hook up that way they both can stop going after each other’s siblings partner– but still rooting for Quinn to get her man Liam—then Liam can be Wyatt’s step daddy who is still in love with his son in law’s wife– sounds right up B&B alley.
Totes agree about the Quinn and Liam thing. Now they had real chemistry and a storyline that could go someplace. I tuought Jr. prided himself on being able to spot good couple connections. Well, he sucks now!
absolutely not rooting for brill or any of these recycled storylines and triangles . can’t this soap come up with stories that are more original , with more depth and meaning ? after liam , whyatt and hope we now have liam , whyatt and steffy . this is just so sad and ridiculous. william j bell who created the 2 soaps had amazing stories with substance and quality , Douglas marland on other soaps also delivered great story . i am sad to see the decline in both viewership and quality of the soaps . budget cuts are not an excuse for bad writing and lack of story ideas. Frankly if this is all we can expect from bold then the time has probably come to put an end to the show. sorry if the truth may hurt and offend devoted fans . my god do i miss the days of Guiding light , another world , as the world turns and santa barbara.
I loved watching Guiding Light in the mid-to late 90’s before all of the low budget and poor quality episodes.
They certainly were yar!
BOY, NICHOLAS I AGREE WITH ALL YOU SAID… RECYCLED STORY LINES AND NOT MUCH ORIGINAL THESE DAYS… I ESPECIALLY MISS GUIDING LIGHT AND ATWT…..
In terms of ‘The H-O Factor’, Brooke is nothing but an older version of Y&R’S Hilary!!!!! Make. It. Stop.
I wish Brooke HOgan would find an unattached man. .shes way too old to be the town slut. Her vagina has seen more traffic than the 105 on a holiday weekend.
And the actress should set a better example for her child/children.
Well said. My only question is what is so special about her old nasty vajayjay that has every male panting after her? She is way too old for all this sex. I suppose she will be pregnant again. That’ll definitely be one for the books!!!
The last thing that Brooke needs is to be pregnant again. No, no and more no. Next……….
Omg I bout spit my drink out at your, “her vagina has seen more traffic than the 105 on a holiday weekend” that’s got to be the best line I’ve seen on these threads in a long time……keep me coming!!!!!
Keep them coming not me lol my bad
Liam and Steffy belong together. She’s Liam’s lobster. Reminds me of Caroline and the real Ridge.
I don’t like it. I don’t buy that Bill is the love of Brooke’s life. Bill may want to bed Brooke, but I don’t buy that he is in love with her.
I was reading up on a few characters on the show, didn’t all of the Logan sisters also “share” Nick Marone?
dmr…y-e-p…they sure did. Oh, those soaps…LOL!!!!!
So men would prefer the older dried up sister with one expression for all emotions, instead of the younger, passionate more attractive sister?!
What am I missing????
I have watched b and b from the start. While many dislike Brooke (I get why) I am on her side many times. In this instance, Bill & Brooke WOULD have been married if it wasnt for Ridge. I think Katie should be happy. I noticed that no one seemed to object when Ridge hooked up with Katie. No one objected when Katie faked a heart attack to stop Ridge & Brookes wedding. Ridge & Brookes messy intersecting history doesn’t help here. My guess…..RJ or Jack come back and Brooke ends it with Bill because her son wants it that way. Heck, once Caroline dumps Ridge for her chlids REAL father Ridge will want Brooke or Katie yet again. Brad Bell seems to like to write it that way. Like I said just my or a new perspective. Please no attacks just because I like Brooke….LOL…THANKS
let steffy be with Wyatt now liam be with hope so u need to have Kim come back onhere B&B like so as so u can get her back liam need hope tthat’s his true love is for every so now u can let steffy with Wyatt he love steffy so much that’s is true love is for every now on for good

Susan Flannery and Ian Buchanan Visit the Set of ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’; Daytime Emmy Winners Reflect on Show Then and Now
The one and only Susan Flannery (ex-Stephanie Forrester) dropped in to see her former co-stars on The Bold and the Beautiful at their Sunset Las Palmas Studio in Hollywood, along with her good friend and another B&B co-star Ian Buchanan (ex-James Warwick) on Tuesday October 20.
It was the first time in a very long time that The four-time Daytime Emmy winning actress was reunited with Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke), Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy), executive producer and head writer, Brad Bell, Jennifer Gareis and even her TV sister, Alley Mills (Pam, B&B now Heather, GH) showed up for the day too!
Flannery played the Forrester matriarch from 1987 until 2012. It was then that after playing the part of Stephanie for 25 years that Susan made the decision to retire from acting and in one of the most heartbreaking sendoffs, passes away from lung cancer in Brooke’s arms in November of 2012. During her B&B tenure, Flannery won 3 of her 4 Daytime Emmys, the other being for her first soap role as Laura Horton on Days of our Lives back in 1975.

As for Ian Buchanan, he played Dr. Warwick, psychiatrist, from 1993 to 1999. He returned for other runs in 2014 and 2017. Buchanan took home his Daytime Emmy in 1997 for his work as James. Soap fans also remember, Ian as mobster Duke Lavery on General Hospital, and Dr. Greg Madden on All My Children,
Both Susan and Ian shared their thoughts on coming back to The Bold and the Beautiful, for Susan 14 years later since he exited and for Ian close to 9 years since his last appearance below.
Susan said, “It’s definitely like coming home in a way, even though it’s not the same studio. It’s really lovely to see old faces and old faces with new faces. It takes you back mentally. You start remembering what it was like back then, even things like how much your feet would ache at the end of the day from wearing six-inch heels. It was just lovely to be back and see everybody.”

Ian expressed, “It’s a mind trip, you know. When I was sitting looking at the big Forrester set, it was like stepping back in time, almost. It takes you back mentally, and you start remembering what it was like when you were here before.”
“It’s lovely to see all these people again, even if you don’t know everybody,” explained soap vet Buchanan. “There’s something really special about coming back and seeing the show and the people who have been part of it for so long.”
So, happy to see Susan and Ian with some of their former castmates? Do you think Stephanie and Brooke is one of the greatest frenemy stories in daytime history? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.
Beyond the Gates
Tabitha Brown and Kandi Burruss Guest Star on ‘Beyond the Gates’ for Dani’s ‘Welcome to Your Life’ TV Special; What Could Go Wrong?
As previously announced, Beyond the Gates is bringing chef, author and actress Tabitha Brown and Grammy Award-winning songwriter, singer and actress Kandi Burruss to Fairmont Crest in a special episode of the CBS daytime drama airing Thursday, October 22.
In the episode, Dani’s (Karla Mosley) best friend Pamela Curtis (Cady McClain), arranges a “Welcome to Your Life” television special for her. As it turns out, Brown will play the show’s host, Tia Allen, while Burruss takes on the role of Dani’s first modeling agent, Kalista Kilroy, who turns the celebration of her life into a bad trip down memory lane.
Dani’s parents Anita and Vernon (Tamara Tunie, Clifton Davis), sister Nicole (Daphnee Duplaix), and daughters Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla) and Naomi (Arielle Prepetit) all join the show to celebrate and support her but also witness how things so south. Also appearing in the episode are Molly Figueroa as Tatum Stewart and fan-favorite Anita Williams (Tunie) impersonator Jackie Tyree!

THE 411 ON TIA AND KALISTA
Speaking with TV Insider, about their soapy experience in Fairmont Crest, Tabitha Brown previewed about her host with the most, “Tia is very professional, but she’s a girl’s girl. She is a protector of women and wants to tell their stories in a beautiful way, but she also wants to make sure they’re seen in a very good light.”
However, Burruss previews that Kalista arrives with a score to settle. “She’s spicy,” shared the recording artist. “I always love playing somebody that has come to start trouble. It’s always fun to play a villain of sorts, but Kalista feels like she’s been done wrong and she’s hurt by what she feels has been done to her. So Kalista is stirring up trouble, but she feels justified putting Dani on blast. Kalista is ready for some payback.”
Beyond the Gates is produced by CBS Studios, as part of the CBS Studios/NAACP Venture, in partnership with P&G Studios, a division of Procter & Gamble. Created by head writer Michele Val Jean, executive producers include Val Jean, Sheila Ducksworth, Julie Carruthers, Tracey Thomson, Leon W. Russell, Derrick Johnson, Anna Saalfeld and Lela Coffey.
Beyond the Gates is broadcast weekdays on CBS (2:00-3:00 PM, ET/1:00-2:00 PM, PT) and is available to stream on Paramount+**.
So, looking forward to this special episode of Beyond the Gates when Dani is put on a blast during a blast from her past and Welcome to Your Life TV special? Share your thoughts via the comment section.
For months now, Days of our Lives has teased the character of Dominic Marino. In recent weeks, viewers learned that Marino is on the down low working with Sami Brady’s (Alison Sweeney) apparent fiancé ‘Dante Vitali (Franco LoPresti), and that he is the never-before-heard-of child of Stefano DiMera (the late Joseph Mascolo) and Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall)!
Up until now, the Peacock streaming soap opera has never revealed his face, but that all seemed to change on the Tuesday, October 2o episode of DAYS. In story, Dante met Sami’s parents for the first time, Roman (Josh Taylor) and Marlena.
He shows them a photo of Dominic, which he happened to have on his own phone and even commented he kind of looked like he could be Marlena’s son. The photo, which has quickly made it around Soap Twitter/X, revealed that British-born actor Kyle Pryor is the man in the photo and eagle-eyed viewers actually located said photo on Pryor’s Instagram.

Deadline revealed Pryor started taping at the end of 2025 and will first be seen in the role, on air Monday, November 2. In addition, Days will celebrate its 61st Anniversary with two special episodes featuring Dominic’s arrival, as well the returns of Tony and Anna DiMera, played respectively by Thaao Penghlis and Leann Hunley, on Friday, November 6 and Monday, November 9.
Those in the know, are are that Pryor previously held series regular roles on Australia’s Home and Away, and the UK’s Hollyoaks and guest starred on Emmerdale. In an ironic twist, Pryor appeared in the series Spartacus: Blood and Sand which is the same action series his apparent TV brother, Dan Feuerriegel (EJ DiMera), once appeared in before coming to DAYS.
So excited to see Kyle Pryor take on the role of Dominic Marino as Days of our Lives sets its anniversary story to kick-off with is arrival in Salem? Share your thoughts in the comment section. And in case you missed our latest conversation with Conner Floyd (Chad DiMera) he weighs-in on how Dominic’s appearance will shake things up in Salem. You can check that out below.
