If you caught the Wednesday, August 19 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, and if you were Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor), and your wife, who literally took off, threw of her wedding ring and abandoned their marriage to head to Paris, shows back up saying she overreacted and wants to be with him, would you bother to even take her back?

As for Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), now that Finn (Tanner Novlan) is giving her the spiel about how he took her for granted, how he is so sorry for not listening to her, and that Sheila will never be in their lives again, would you want to listen to that, either, after so many broken promises?

That’s the situation hungover Steffy and Carter found themselves, while still reeling from the seeming fact that they had sex the night before while drunk in the Forrester Creations CEO office.

STEFFY AND CARTER GETS EARFULS

Daphne (Murielle Hilare) doesn’t understand why Carter is being so distant, and he says, “You said I wasn’t family.” She wants to put all of what she said and did behind them and now explore other ways to have a child. Carter seems hurt and annoyed.

Back at the cliff house, Steffy is so upset between sleeping with Carter and getting drunk, and Finn and his mother, Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) in Monaco. She tells Finn, “I need you to stand up for me. I can’t live like this. I won’t.”  Finn begs her not to let “one terrible mistake” (get it!?) tear us apart.

Finn promised Steffy he will get a restraining order on Sheila if it calls for it. He understands why Steffy is so scared of Sheila after she shot her … and him. In the closing moments of the episode, Finn pronounces how lucky he is to have the “perfect wife.” To which a rattled Steffy in tears goes, “Oh, I’m not perfect.”

STEFFY’S GUILT

Steffy is losing her grip at this moment as Finn says he wants to step up and be the husband he deserves. Along with Daphne, I kind of want to kick Finn to the curb, too. Then Finn lays it on real thick and adds, “You’re pure, you’re honest, you’re loyal.”  Steffy interrupts, “Not quite.”

Suddenly a guilt-ridden Steffy says to Finn, “There’s something I need to tell you.” Can she actually get the words out about getting drunk and having sex with Carter …or,  will she keep it under wraps so we can have months of the line “one terrible mistake?”

Take a look at some of the scenes between Steffy and Finn from today’s episode below.

Now let us know: would you bother to take back Daphne or Finn, if you were Carter and Steffy? Would you like to see Steffy just blurt out she had sex with Carter to her husband? Weigh-in via the comment section.

On the Tuesday, August 18 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, viewers were tuned-in to see if Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor), who were were both on benders, wound up having sex in the Forrester Creations CEO office.

As the Monday, August 17 episode concluded, Carter and Steffy shared a close moment where it looked like they would kiss. Now in the pick up which starts the morning after, Steffy awakens from the couch in the office, and realizes she has no clothes on and is mortified to see Carter on the end of the couch also naked and under blankets.

In that moment, Steffy realizes they had sex, and begins to unravel to Carter as she scrambles to get dressed: “We shouldn’t have done this. Oh my God, I shouldn’t have done this!”

STEFFY RACES TO GET HOME

Steffy’s panic of the situation escalates when she finds her phone, and sees multiple text messages from her husband, Finn (Tanner Novlan), desperately trying to reach her. He told Steffy he was on his way home from Monaco.

Suddenly, a hungover Carter speaks up and agrees. He says to Steffy they made a terrible mistake and wanted to talk about it, but Steffy kiboshed any discussion, not dealing with Carter, and racing home to be with her kids and Finn. As a disheveled Steffy ran out of Forrester, Carter stayed behind to straighten up the office and get rid of any remnants of their drunken binge.

Just then, Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) showed up as Carter is shocked. She apologized for running out on him, and details how when she got to the airport to board the plane to Paris, she realized she couldn’t leave him. She loved him too much, and asks him to please forgive her and her, “terrible mistake.” Daphne hugs Carter and he looks like a man who has no idea what to do or make of this entire situation in the moment.

WHAT WILL BE THE REPERCUSSIONS OF CARTER AND STEFFY’S DRUNKEN NIGHT TOGETHER?

Cut to: Steffy comes home and runs into her mother, Taylor (Rebecca Budig). She explains what happened with Finn and Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) in Monaco. Next, Steffy details how she took off her wedding ring after Taylor noticed it was no longer on her finger. Just then, Finn arrives. Taylor leaves the two to talk. Finn begs for Steffy’s forgiveness and the episode comes to an end with Steffy facing away from Finn and towards the camera, trying to figure out what to do next. Take him back?

Now the real story begins: it would appear that the intent was to have Carter and Steffy face long-lasting consequences of their drunken night together. So that, Steffy would become pregnant with Carter’s child, which would cause the ripple effect in Carter’s marriage to Daphne, who is unable to carry a child.

One other theory, unless, Carter and Steffy believe they had sex, but they passed out in compromising positions but nothing ever happened? Perhaps one of them, or both will have flashbacks of them carrying on together on the couch? Were they set up? Stay tuned.

So, we ask you. What happens from here? Steffy gets pregnant with Carter’s child? Does Steffy goes back to Finn? Carter goes back with Daphne? They really never had drunken sex? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, take a look below, and a bit of what went down when Steffy and Carter realize what happened between them.

The Bold and the Beautiful’s Don Diamont (Bill Spencer) is the special guest on this week’s all new edition of Soapy Hosted by Rebecca Budig and Greg Rikaart. Don’s episode drops Tuesday morning, August 18. During his visit, Diamont talks about his 40+ years in daytime, his co-stars, and much more.

Don has had the distinction on appearing on three different soap operas throughout his career, Days of Our Lives, The Young and the Restless and his current home on The Bold and the Beautiful. His road to B&B, began after in his second run in the role of Brad Carlton on Y&R, when he was let go. Diamont played Brad from 1985-1996 and again from 1998-2009. Little did he know, he had someone being his biggest cheerleader behind the scenes, six-time Daytime Emmy winner, Heather Tom (Katie Logan).

While Heather and Don worked together on The Young and the Restless, when she played Victoria Newman, it wasn’t until Don came to B&B that the two truly got to develop something special, and now since 2009, the ups and downs of the relationship of Dollar Bill and his “Katie” have often resulted in some of the most dramatic moments in the past 16 years.

HEATHER TOM GOES FOR HER RECORD-BREAKING 7TH DAYTIME EMMY WIN

Heather Tom is once again in the running for the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Daytime Drama Series at this year’s upcoming 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards in late October. If she were to win, she would become the winningest actress in a Daytime Emmy history, breaking the tie with Erika Slezak (ex-Viki, One Life to Live).

During his visit with ‘Soapy’s’ Rebecca and Greg, when Budig asks him about working withHeather Tom, Diamont becomes overcome with tears welling up in his eyes, for the love, admiration and respect he has for his longtime co-star, in this exclusive preview clip provided to Michael Fairman TV below.

In it, Diamont expressed about Tom, “The greatest .. it makes me emotional… the greatest blessing in my professional life. Beth Maitland (Traci) at that point in my career (with Y&R), and then Heather, later.”

DON DIAMONT EXPLAINS THE ROAD TO ON-SCREEN LOVE STORY WITH HEATHER TOM

Explaining how he wound up paired in story with Heather Tom, Diamont provided a bit of history lesson to the ‘Soapy’ podcast co-hosts. “The story goes, which Heather always tells, when she heard I was coming to B&B and God bless, Brad Bell (executive producer, and head writer, B&B) that after being all of a sudden, out of nowhere, being fired from Y&R, Brad brings me over to B&B.”

Don continued, “Heather hears I’m coming, and she is somewhere where she couldn’t talk so, she had to reach under the table and type, ‘I want Don Diamont,’ t0 Brad. So, that to me is an Emmy. That to me, that Heather Tom, that I call ‘Thee Heather Tom,” wanted to work with me, that was enormously flattering.”

Realizing how lucky he is to have such a phenomenal leading lady by his side, it never goes unnoticed by Diamond. “It is such a gift,” he said. “She’s just the best person. The finest actress, just fun and funny and so talented, just amazing. It has just been my great privilege and joy to work opposite her all these years.”
