THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Ivy Receives "The Shock" Of Her Life!
Courtesy/CBS
Two young women with a bad history, and getting into a heated argument near some short-circuited wires is not a good thing, particularily on CBS daytime drama The Bold and the Beautiful!
As viewers watched on Friday’s episode, once again Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is at the epicenter of someone else getting hurt, or in Aly’s (Ashlyn Pearce) case dying!
As Steffy and her nemesis Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer) had a war of words over Steffy outing Ivy sleeping with Thomas (Pierson Fode) to Wyatt (Darin Brooks), the gals got near the electrical cables in the Forrester Creations building. And in a swift move, Steffy ends up pushing Ivy to close to the eletrical outlet and she gets electrocted! Steffy is mortified, or so it seems. She is now taken down two Forrester women in curious … accidents.
During the pick up of the story on Monday’s episode of B&B, Ivy is in critical condition at the hospital. All of the men in Ivy’s life are there too: Liam (Scott Clifton) Wyatt, and Thomas, as well as Steffy!
After Wyatt delivers a touching speech to a comatose Ivy, Liam and Steffy go out to the hospital corridor where he begins to realize that Steffy may have caused the electrocution! Will a guilt-ridden Steffy admit it? Will everyone figure out that Steffy has some either serious bad karma going on?
Watch the key scenes Friday’s B&B and Monday’s episode and then weigh-in: What did you think of the electrocution scene? Do you want Steffy to land in some serious legal trouble? Who do you want Ivy to ultimately end up with: Liam, Wyatt or Thomas? Comment below!
Umm, continuity police? On today’s #BoldandBeautiful, (following Ivy’s electrocution) Steffy efficiently pulls her cell phone out of her blazer to call for help … which would have been heroic if not for the fact that in the scene prior, Ivy had grabbed Steffy’s cell out of her hand and threw it under the server (where said electrocution took place!!) Am I the only one that caught that blatant misstep?! Does Bell really think we cannot recall that plot point for one scene?!
Yes, I caught that and then thought I was mistaken and it was Ivy’s phone Steffy had pushed away.
No, it was definitely Steffy’s phone: she was ignoring Ivy’s badgering (while she was scrolling on her phone, waiting for Jake to handle their faulty servers), so Ivy grabbed Steffy’s phone to get her attention and she threw it under the servers!! (How Bell could let such a blatant action go unnoticed and then have Steffy miraculously whip-out another cell phone less than two minutes later is a little jarring…)
I guess we were watching different shows because what I saw was after Ivy knocked Steffy’s phone under the board, Steffy when up the stairs to go get her phone which is why they were so close to the board to begin with. As Steffy was picking up her phone, Ivy was behind her and being distracted with action of getting her phone, Steffy just shove Ivy away from her and Ivy went flying into the board.
That’s what I saw as well.
All of the players here are appealing, but I have to confess that I laughed out loud at the electrocution scene. It would make great fodder for The Soup.
The electrocution scene was unexpected and horrible, especially for daytime, if ever. Right up there with the Fluke story. Haven’t watched B&B since, which was on “life support” with me anyway. Ship Steffy out again to Paris, anywhere, never to come back. Could care less who Ivy is with. Never cared for the character anyway. And Liam is such a wimp anyway, Thomas was brought back to be a troublemaker. And on my only positive note, always liked Wyatt.
I TUNED IN YESTERDAY FOR FIRST TIME IN WEEKS…HORRIBLE STORY LINES AND SAME OLD…SAME OLD…….BETTER TO SPEND TIME DOING SOMETHING ELSE…YOU ARE RIGHT ON…
Correction note. Ivy did not sleep with Thomas. They kissed. But, still, the accident was just that, an accident. Stuffy didn’t intend to hurt ivy.
Ivy would be dead most likely.
Don’t like that Steffy is involved in another accident where someone is hurt.
The scene of Ivy being electrocuted was well-done.
Don’t know how anyone being electrocuted can be classified as “well done.”
I agree Mo. I thought Ivy played her part like a real pro. I especially like the story line and where it’s going. Thomas I can do without but a happy couple wouldn’t have a story on a soap.
I thought it was “medium rare”. I didn’t see any smoke coming from the ears, nose or mouth. 😉
Steffy didn’t out Ivy for sleeping with Thomas…which she didn’t…only making out with him.
Steffy needs to STFU and MHOB! Can’t wait until she has her comeuppance!
Ivy needs to grow up and learn how to be loyal and honest with her man.
Thomas is a sleaze and needs to go away.
Wyatt, poor guy, needs to catch a break in a relationship.
I hope Ridge hears about Thomas dallying with Ivy and really calls him on chasing other guys’ girls.
I CAN NOT believe im saying this: bring back HOPE
OMG NOOOOOOOOOOO.
Hahaha, be careful, your nightmare just might come true! Actually the Hope character isn’t that bad, it’s the writing for the Hope character that’s really sad and pathetic. The actress is talented and well liked but I can only assume she got tired of the same old boring story line; girl gets guy, loses guy, get’s another guy, loses that guy and goes back to the other guy and loses that guy again and again and again.
Correct me if I’m wrong but Ivy & Thomas are cousins and should not be mingling with each other. If Ivy & Steffy are related (cousin’s ) then she & Thomas are as well. What are writers thinking?
I don’t really feel sorry for Wyatt. Remember how he horn dogged and chased Hope down and away from Liam?!?! If it goes around, it comes around.
This Steffy / Ivy story line is beyond ridiculous. First of all, the dime a dozen jewelry designer would be working from home–NOT the CEO. I was so happy to see Ally leave, hopefully Ivy is next.
Re: Ivy and Thomas cousins
Technically Thomas and Steffy having Ridge as their father who’s father is Massimo not Eric Forester.
So yes Bell needs more originality in his story lines than ‘boy get girl or girl likes boy and then ‘sick’ pathology of interactions occur. For example this situation of Steffy, Ivy, Liam, Wyatt, and Thomas (What a hollow character – couldn’t you do better than that Bell).
It looks like the current run of Lucas Adams (Noah) and Tamara Braun (Sienna) on The Young and the Restless is coming to an end, after the Monday, August 3 edition of the CBS daytime drama revealed that Noah and Sienna are leaving Genoa City and heading back to Los Angeles.
In the storyline, Noah informed his mother, Sharon (Sharon Case) and half-sister Mariah (Camryn Grimes) that he and Sienna made the decision to move back to the West Coast to put distance between themselves and Matt Clark (Roger Howarth). Although Noah did not say it was a permanent move, he did assure his mom that once Matt is hopefully gone from Genoa City they could return.
However, as previewed already on the video teaser for this week’s episodes of Y&R (see below), it appears Noah left Genoa City’s The Shadow Room to be run by a returning Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian). So with that, coupled with today’s episode, it would appear the move could wind up being more permanent.

COMINGS AND GOINGS
Adams made his Y&R debut on November 4, 2025 as the successor to Rory Gibson who last played Noah on-screen in April of 2023. Earlier in 2025, Gibson took over the role of Michael Corinthos on Genera Hospital replacing Chad Duell, who stepped away from the part after 15 years.
Braun who played Adam’s mother on Days of Our Lives when she was Ava Vitali and he was Tripp Dalton, first appeared on Y&R back on October 14, 2025, where we soon learned she had become Noah’s lover as the new character, Sienna Bacall. It should be noted, Adams was on contract with the number #1 soap, while Braun has been on recurring status.
With Josh Griffith now exited as head writer of The Young and the Restless, and the newly announced co-head writing team of Jamey Giddens and Dan O’Connor having taken his place and starting their new tenure this week, it will be interesting to see how the duo resets the show, and if a Noah and Sienna return is in the cards for the future or not.
So, what do you think about the seeming departures of Lucas Adams and Tamara Braun from The Young and the Restless? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, check out our recent live chat with Tamara and Lucas on the Michael Fairman Channel.
Rosie O’Donnell revealed that she plans to head back to a seat at the table of ABC’s morning talk show The View.
The announcement came during Monday’s episode of The Tangle Podcast where she shared she will participate in “in whatever way they want” her or “just as a guest” for its upcoming 30th season.
The View’s season 30 will kick-off this fall in September. O’Donnell explained, “They’re bringing back all the hosts, I think. And, you know, I’m pretty proud of that show, what it’s become and how it really speaks to the people and to politics.”

ROSIE ON HER PREVIOUS GO-ROUNDS ON THE VIEW
As fans of The View know, O’Donnell famously had two different one-year stints on the talk show in 2007 and again in 2014- 2015. She often feuded with then co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
However, during her discussion with host, Kyle Ridley on The Tangle Podcast, O’Donnell also noted she often had tense moments with longtime moderator and anchor, Whoopi Goldberg.
O’Donnell also expressed, “Many, many people got the short end of the stick there. It was, you know, it was a factory where people were being churned in and out and their tenuous security, nobody got to be calm. It also was a show at the time that was run by a man. A show created by a woman, for women, about women, and the man was deciding what we should talk about. And that didn’t sit right with me, you know.”
Back in 2023, Brooke Shields had asked Rosie on her podcast, Now What? with Brooke Shields, about how she felt on her two stints at The View and all the controversy that surrounded it. Rosie at that time, stated, “I know this, it’s not the best use of my talent to get in a show where I have to argue and defend basic principles of humanity and kindness. It was not something I’d ever do again.”
You can check out the clip with Rosie and Kyle Ridley discussing her return to The View in some form for its upcoming 30th season below.
Then weigh-in: Would you be excited to see Rosie, even for a one-day or a week guest stint on the upcoming celebratory season of The View, or not so much? Let us know via the comment section.
