THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Brooke and Hope Have the ‘Mother’ of All Showdowns in Heather Tom Written and Directed Episode
After much hype, and in a first for daytime television, the Heather Tom (Katie Logan), acted, directed and written episode of The Bold and the Beautiful aired today on CBS and streamed on Paramount+. It was perfectly timed in conjunction with Women’s History Month.
While the show is touting yet another record for the mighty Tom, (she has already won six Daytime Emmys tying her with Erika Slezak (ex-Viki, OLTL) for the most wins by an actress in Emmy history and broke the record for an actress winning two Emmys in each of the acting categories of Younger, Supporting and Lead Actress) this new accomplishment is pretty astounding; given that over the years Heather has branched out into directing and more recently script writing for the soap.
In the episode centered around mothers and daughters, Heather scripted scenes that featured Taylor (Rebecca Budig) and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) celebrating their victories over the Logan women, Hope (Annika Noelle) and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), while Hope and Brooke have the most massive emotional showdown where hurt, betrayal and plenty of history is dredged up. The mother and daughter go at it for Brooke siding with Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Eric (John McCook) and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) to give the company back to the Forresters, while Hope’s plans to take over the company with Carter have blown up in her face.

In addition, Tom sprinkled in a very emotional moment between sisters Katie and Donna (Jennifer Gareis) where for the first time in eons they bring up their beloved mother, Beth Logan who died back in 2010. Katie says that she often thinks about her mom and how grief washed over her, which is also a tribute to Heather Tom’s real-life mom, Marie, who passed away last year in February of 2024. The moment was discussed during Heather’s recent visit and interview on The Michael Fairman Channel.
In story, Hope comes barreling into Brooke’s house berating her mother, “How could you do this to me?” Brooke responds, How could I do this to you?” At that point, Brooke scolds Hope saying she should never pulled what she did and adding,“I lost the love of my life because of it.”

Hope starts to get more infuriated and professes that all she ever tried to do was stand up for what was right and defend their family name. Brooke gasps, “I never wanted you to take over the company!” Hope says she and Carter made Brooke the CEO of the company because they thought she was on board with their plans.
That’s when Brooke cops to “I did it for Ridge! I took the CEO position to get the company back for Ridge!” Next, Hope accuses her mother of selling out. Brooke fumes,”Ridge left me because of it, Hope! I lost him!” Hope throws down on Brooke “That’s the only thing that matters to you, isn’t it? Ridge!” Hope starts to cry, “For once, I just wanted you to pick me.”
As Hope begins her onslaught of pointing out to her mother that Ridge has gone back for good to Taylor, Katie walks through the door and tells Hope to back off of her sister. At that point, Hope realizes Katie knew about Brooke’s plans to give the company back to Ridge. “My own family made a fool of me,” cries Hope. “Well, I really have lost everything, haven’t I? Even my own mother.”
Katie warns her to stop before she says something she’ll regret and can’t take back after Hope brings up Brooke and Deacon being her biological parents. Katie tells Hope that her mother has always been there for her. Hope says not today, “You abandoned me when I needed you the most.” Hope snarls and adds she wonders if Brooke begged, cried, and groveled at Ridge’s feet this time, adding, “I hope it was worth it!”

Brooke tells Hope she should have never should have taken over the company with Carter. She adds “And until you take responsibility for your actions, I have no sympathy for you whatsoever!” Brooke tells Hope she will not be spoken to this way and let her daughter, attack her in her own home. Hope asks her mom if she is kicking her out?
The fight escalates from there with Brooke coming down hard on Hope saying, “This was your choice, and you messed up. Just like you’ve messed up so many times in your life. Your marriage to Liam. Your relationship with Thomas, with Douglas. And now this, are you serious, Hope? This coup with Carter! You say you lost everything in your life, well I lost something too. I lost Ridge, and it’s all because of you! I blame you! Who are you? You are not my daughter! Get out! Get out of my house!”
Next, Hope begins to haul off and slap her mother, until Katie intervenes and stops her. Katie looks at her and say, “This is not who you are.” Hope begins to leave, but cries hysterically and Brooke pulls her daughter in for an embrace as Hope cries out, “I’m sorry, Mom. I’m sorry, I love you. I’ve lost everything. I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Mommy. I love you.” We fade to black.
It was a sad day for the Logan women and a great day for the Forrester women, harkening back to the very beginning of B&B when the high and mighty Stephanie Forrester always looked down at Brooke and the Logans. Now in 2025, what’s old becomes new again and Steffy and Taylor are in the driver’s seat with the company, and with Ridge, while the Logan women sabotaged themselves.
So, what did you think of the heavy emotional scenes on today’s B&B featuring Annika Noelle, Katherine Kelly Lang, and Heather Tom? Did you enjoy the episode? Let us know in the comment section, but first, in case you missed it, check out our interview with Heather on the special episode and her 35th anniversary daytime below, followed by a scene between Hope and Brooke
I absolutely was disgusted by Brooke’s groveling to Ridge (in front of Taylor to make it worse). How very demeaning. He just stands there with that smirk on his face-he makes me sick. And why would Eric sit there not saying a word with Ridge while Steffy spewed her nastiness at Carter, Hope & Brooke? Everyone blames Hope! She was not the instigator. Carter (who screwed Eric’s wife- Quinn with ZERO consequences) caused all of this. He makes me sick. He & Hope were not in love ever. What a joke. He dragged her into this with his big stupid ass ideas for Forester. He’s an attorney for God’s sake! Stay in your lane man. Daphne with her stupid facial expressions & little french accent, makes me sick-can’t wait til it comes out what she & Steffy did-the grand plan. And Donna should tell Eric that Ridge who must be 60 yrs. old should be living in his own house-not screwing Taylor at Eric’s. God. Ridge has no home of his own-he lives with the flavor of the month til it goes wrong then back to daddy’s (stepdaddy’s actually-since he’s a Maronne) And doesn’t Katie live next door to Eric? Those sisters cannot be happy about how Brooke is being treated.
Gloria…You said it all…and VERY, VERY PERFECTLY!!!!! Thank You. At this point, that damn Ridge is nothing but an overgrown, lovesick and wishy-washy CAVEMAN!!!!! Sometimes, I think GOD-AWFUL Steffy is THE MAN in her and Finn’s marriage!!!!! I mean…the way that she talks to, bosses around and belittles Finn. And don’t get me started on Taylor and that annoying and mannequin-looking Daphne (yep…a, uh, Thomas reference. I went there. LOL)!!!!! Oh. Make. It. Finally. Stop. BEYOND YUCK!!!!!
Yes Gloria is right. I can’t stand Steffy and her better than e everyone attitude. Finn has o backbone she tells him what he thinks and does, who does she think she is? Please payback for Steffy,Taylor and Ridge.
I agree with you Daphne looks and acts like a retard. Taylor look like she is trying to play grown up and those shoes are terrible.
Lorraine, I thought I was the only one who paid attention to Taylor’s five feet platform shoes. They are horrible and if she’s that short she’s just short.
I love the forester I’m team Forster when I do watch hope just like the moma had ever Forster her kid and sister husband just sickning
The Foresters have their share of tramps also do’nt forget Steffy and Taylor.
Steffy is the biggest Hippocratic person on there. She has interfered with so many marriages. She is a bully.
I agree ladies about Ridge. He never changes expressions. Also he just stands there and never responds. Talk do something…anything. LOL
I agree with you about all of this! As soon as Taylor came into the room,Hope should have stopped her groveling because that was so humiliating! Daphne just got got there and she already knows that Carter is such a remarkable man,give me a break! One thing that I will say..Heather Tom’s episode was refreshing compared to a regular episode. No endless repetition of the same dialogue and so much emotion from Brooke and Hope!
So glad I have dropped this show. Steffy shouldn’t be so happy, because Sheila and Luna are headed her way, to blow up her life and wipe that frigging smirk off her face! Taylor, the pathetic psychiatrist who needs to see a shrink herself, loses all self-respect when Ridge comes sniffing around. At some point, he will seek Brooke again and we will start that foolishness all over again. Will someone please remove BB from the EP position! I know, wishful thinking.
Hats off to Heather Tom great job ! The scenes with Brooke Hope and Katie were fantastic. We can only hope Brooke stops groveling to that fool Ridge the rich man child and I’m sorry but I just can’t connect with Rebecca buddig as Taylor and Steffy you seem to have forgotten all about Luna so you can return to the parent trap and finally Daphne has got to go she’s been here 7 minutes and has so much to say! Oh well I guess for once team Hope
It’s about time Hope told Brooke that she was sick of always coming in second to Ridge.
She has had so much pent up pain and betrayal over the years that her so called mother deserved to hear about.
After all look how she was conceived.
Brooke is disgusting in every way and her begging for her destiny is so typical of her lack of any self esteem and pathetic.
The same could be and is said about Taylor. You want to talk about pathetic and disgusting! In some ways, Hope helped to create the problems in her life. Carter was too damn quick, but she shouldn’t have to bare the brunt of the Forrester takeover. That was initiated by Carter.
It’s time for everyone to own up to their mess and move on!
Just 1 question, Hope says everything she has done since the take over. What has she done? I don’t recall her name on the LLC papers. The whole story line was a joke!
I agree her daughter should l d come first, hope should take decons name, and get therapy before she really does some harm to her self or others. Brooke needs to wake up and let go of her destiny she’s not young anymore she should move on and Ridge should get therapy too.
The episode was excellent! The scenes with Brooke and Hope were so raw and powerful. Both actresses were absolutely incredible! I cried at the end when Brooke stopped Hope from leaving and embraced her and Hope broke down apologizing. Fantastic job, Heather Tom!
I agree. I thought the acting was excellent.
Yes, wonderful scene. Initially, I hoped Brooke would slap the hell out of spoiled brat Hope, but I guess this was a better outcome.
Heather Tom how about an writing and producing and episode dedicated to getting Thomas and Hope back together as a couple and she marries him this time to drive Steffy and Ridge crazy.
I would love to see that!
Heather Tom how about writing and producing an episode dedicated to getting Thomas and Hope back together as a couple their chemistry is beautiful gorgeous flawless and breathtaking not only that but she should marry Thomas for love and prosperity so it can drive Steffy and Ridge crazy.
I do not want steffy and her skaggy mother to beat up in the logans. Didnt like the episode
Ridge and brooke belong together. Steffy acts high and mighty well i remember when she was very trampy acting. You need to change the direction this is going. Ive watched you from the beginning but will leave you if this continues. Make Finn keave steffy and marry hope.
The episode of the women did not tell the whole story about how Brooke never took responsibility for all the things she has done to her sister, daughters Hope is not a whole or conniving but Steffy is slept with father-in-law, Liam while he was married to Hope.Please get it right for once!!!!!!!!!
All of the comments above are not proper…
First of all this is a soap opera… not to be consumed and spit out in harsh words.
Remember Forester Creations belong to the Foresters and Steffie has every right to be upset with the Logans.. Brooke is always from the get go trying to win Ridge.
He is not some property to own. Ridge so gullible looking through that key hole and thinking that Booke is his destiny… hog wash… Brooke knew exactly where and what to do that’s why she was at that spot so Ridge would look and see her and think she is his destiny.
Hope just like her mother…use Thomas so he’d design beautiful clothes for her but refused to marry him… then making a play for Finn then finally kissing him… what is that… Hope is lucky Steffie didn’t deck her.
So all of you open your eyes.. LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE. And another thing Taylor is a good person… sure she shot Bill but then and again Bill was an A/H.
Steffi, Ridge, Eric and Taylor are and should always be the main characters.
REMEMBER THIS IS A SOAP OPERA IT IS NOT REAL… it’s wonderful actors!
God Bless all who act in BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL!
Makanani
Seriously. You say this is only a soap opera. You have made a one sided biased critique of a TV show. Brooke is and Eric are the only two originals and you do not name her in your line up. Really? God bless all who act in it, yet you only praise the Foresters, again seriously?
Very simply, you do not know what the hell you are talking about, especially who you call “the main characters” They are, especially Steffie, called Antagonists, look it up!
Oh, please! Taylor is a good person! She accused Brooke of the same thing she did and has done for years! She comes back to town with “BROKEN HEART SYNDROME,” and after wrapping her legs around Ridge for a “therapeutic session,” she is all cured! CRAP! She knew what she was doing!
Yess
Stephanie and her mom look so silly dancing and celebrating. And Taylor must don’t ever go to work. Please get a new storyline with Brooke and Ridge, how many more times are we going to watch that story about them breaking up and Brooke begging for Ridge to stay with her. And he deciding between her and Taylor.
They were Beautiful
Who was beautiful? I didn’t see anything of the sort!
What a sad state of affairs we’ve got here. I’m a fan of Heather Tom but she missed 2 opportunities. First, wouldn’t it have been great for women’s history month to celebrate by empowing women to stop all the groveling over men who are so clearly unworthy. Second, leaving out the more interesting mother and daughter, Luna and Poppy, that we’ve seen in a while in soapland.
I can’t believe a woman wrote, directed and acted in a story where women are glorified as bullies, applauded for grovelling to a man who has no moral compass and accept the behaviour that man who in 2024 can call an employee, and his step daughter the worst names possible.
Where else would that be allowed. What other woman would lower herself to do this.
I get so sick and tired of the Steffy, Brooke and Taylor bashing. These are actresses and they are playing a character on a show. I’m sure these ladies are not like their characters in real life. If you can’t separate them from their characters, quit watching the show
The same goes for you lady! But you said it right. They are actresses, playing a part, and their goal is to make you love, hate or relate to them and if you don’t do that in some respect, they are not doing their job. You are missing the whole idea of play-acting.
The episode was great with one exception….Hope shouldn’t have had to apologize to Brooke. Brooke told Ridge about the coupon behind Hope’s back. Then she LIED to Hope about accepting the CEO position. Then she stood there & let EVERYONE put all the blame for the coup on Hope, like she wrote up the papers herself. Brooke is PATHETIC! At some point it is time to have some self respect. Instead of turning tail & running from Ridge’s office, she should have turned to Taylor & said something about her being his SECOND choice. And also when Taylor spoke of having some class a comment about jumping into bed with Ridge at the drop of a hat could have been done.
Brooke needs a new man. Taylor needs a new man. I love Thorsten, but Ridge, not so much.
I loved the scenes Tom wrote. They were full of human emotions very well acted by these women. Hope’s a mess but Steffy is a terrible company leader…they both need to get a grip. But, they won’t…the Hope/Finn romance has to play out…whether we like it or not.
Excellent episode. I think it’s time for the Logan clan to make a stand. Steffy needs to be knocked down a peg or two. She is a negative presence, what she says go with everyone in the family. The men stand around and let’s her say and do anything, like it’s her way or the highway. It is getting really ridiculous with her and her nasty mean nature. All the men just now down to her. Stand up Logan women and fight for respect. Stand up Forrester men and carter speak up. Tell Seffy to sit her butt down she can’t control everything and everybody’s thoughts and actions. I know this is just a TV show, but some episodes do mirror real life.
I think Heather Tom did a great job hands down! Maybe Heather Tom should be writing the scripts and all that comes with that more often!
No Brooke blaming Hope was wrong she has gotten the short end of the stick. Steffy and Taylor are rich hypocrites.
The best fight that has been long over do. But I loved it when they hugged and realized they are still family and the bond of a Mother and Daughter who love each other. Emmys for them both.
Heather Tom should be head writer. Excellent show today.
Heather Tom did and excellent job writing the scenes and I hope this means Hope will get back to being herself because she’s been off the rails. There were much needed things to be said between Hope and Brooke and the escalation of tension between the women couldn’t have been more real. I’m just glad Katie was there to stop Hope from hitting her mom because that would have done permanent damage to the relationship. As for Steffy, she could definitely stand to humble herself but what Carter and Hope did was inexcusable. People keep saying Hope is to blame but it was Carter’s idea and he’s a grown man who knows right from wrong. He betrayed the family he so called loves for a piece of tail. Hope is not innocent, because she did egg him on but it was not her idea. I personally would never trust Carter and he would be fired, right along with Hope. That whole thing is unrealistic because Carter slept with Eric’s wife then turned around and stole the company – on what planet do people get away with stuff like that??? It also made my teeth grind to see Brooke begging Ridge – he’s not worth it. He’s played these two women against one another for years and they keep fighting over him, for what??? After Taylor went through that so called “broken heart syndrome” she should have had enough by now. They need to bring in more male actors because obviously there’s not enough to go around anytime two women keep playing ping poing with the same stale old man.
Hopes been of the rails bc of steffy she started on hope as a child, taught by her name sake and of course of taylor too. Steffy’s behaviour was never corrected and no accountability for her actions ever. And a person that’s be bullied like that will only take so much b4 “BOOM”well we got boom. And as for thomas no he played the game and brought the game to hope telling her she needed someone better than luam who cheated on her wirh his sister.he told liam he knew about him and his sister and hope forgave him time and time again. But liam couldn’t forgive her for a kiss. He called liam a fool. And he’d regret it, meaning he was going to marry hope and .ake her happy, which could of happened but, thomas was involved in the kidnapping of beth. Heather Tom could quite easily write all the wrongs from the other writers. I think brooke will start to leave LA and come back with a new man that loves her and just maybe be a better business savvy woman and have a fashion/cosmetic company and beat the Forresters at there on game. And as for Eric who thinks he’s the peacemaker, he’s not he showed his colours letting ridge,taylor and steffy bad mouth his wife yes his wife sister and hope, in her home he talks down to all logans and allows steffy to dissect Donna in her own home.
I have stopped watching! Steffy makes me want to throw up! Ridge is a Prostitute from one to another over night! Sorry !
Gloria, you are spot on! Preach!!!! Heather Tom is to be commended for such a great B&B episode. We saw how both families are affected. Heartache and joy. I can hardly wait for the rest of the ongoing story.
I am.discusted by Brook once again throwing herself at Ridge….gag me! And Taylor…does she ever work? She’s either at Forester where she doesn’t belong or it Eric’s home. And don’t get me started on why Ridge doesn’t buy his own home? He acts like a child either living with Stephie or Eric.its gross! Poor Donna! I m sure she wishes they would get their own place. Ridge and Taylor….grow up! And poor Hope. She gets attacked and blamed constantly for everything ! You writers need to give her a break or if will stop watching. Its getting told with Stephie and Ridge always on top! And Carter…shame on him. It was his idea to take over the company and couldn’t even admit it when they blamed Hope. He is NOT a good man!!!
Hats off to Heather Tom for a great episode!! I hope she’s is able to do more creative episodes as well! I can’t stand Steffy though!! She’s very self righteous and definitely lives up to her name!! It does seem very hypocritical to me that she’s undermined Hope in her personal life time and time again but yet is able to carry on in hers like the poor beautiful victim that everyone should bow down to!! And poor Will better watch out!! Luna is definitely gunning to get him in the sack!! Oh no! Then Electra is liable to end up in danger again…
Best episode of The bold & the beautiful. Brooke is such a brilliant actress.
This was the best episode in a long time. The next should be Brooke finally getting some guts and finally leaving the Forresters alo ne .. Steffy needs to be outed with the Carter/Daphne ordeal… I hope Sheila puts her behind in check.. Her mother is a murderer too and so is Steffy. Taylor killed Thornes wife and Steffy killed her own cousin. Why does everyo ne see m to forget their crimes? Harping on the Logans being trash from the valley, really… They ar e just as twisted. Steffy slept with Bill her boyfriends dad, became an addict and killed her cousin. Her brother Thomas killed somebody too, and Taylor’s Ole hypocrite behind…
All of u need to get a life
I’m sick of Brooke,Ridge and Taylor they need to exit the show for i hardly watch B&B like i used to because it’s always something going on and Ridge definitely needs go and o i almost forgot Shelia that is why I don’t watch it anymore like I used to
Heather has out done herself. This episode could not have been any better. The writing and directing was no less than excellent. Congratulations Heather on a job very well done.
This was the best B&B episode I’ve seen thus far.
That was the best episode since Rick n Maya let Heather write more scenes didn’t know Hope can act so good job well done ladies
General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Emma Wants to Save Anna, Isaiah’s Career is All But Destroyed, Joe Makes an Arrest
The Monday, May 18 episode of General Hospital brought with it a startling discovery, a new reality for one surgeon, a new cop on the scene, and a granddaughter determined to protect her grandmother.
First, Laura (Genie Francis) tells Mac (John J. York) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) that Anna (Finola Hughes) is in worse trouble than she was previously after she had Kevin to check on her while he was in Europe. They head out to update Emma (Braedyn Bruner) and Felicia (Kristina Wagner).
Meanwhile, Emma gets upset over Anna during a discussion with Felicia and breaks Anna’s favorite coffee cup. Emma is overcome with sadness and cries, trying to figure out how she is supposed to be so happy with Gio (Giovanni Mazza), while Anna is locked away somewhere against her own will.

BAD NEWS FOR EMMA
Laura and Mac arrive to talk with Emma and Felicia, and reveal how Anna escaped and made it to the border, but she was now in the custody of the French authorities and they are transferring her to a long term mental illness facility, which freaks out Emma just as Gio arrives. Emma runs into his arms. Laura says at this point, Anna needs a strong advocate and she will make a call on her behalf. (But to who?)
At the Metro Court pool, Curtis (Donnell Turner) is arrested by Detective Joe Fitzpatrick (Jonathan Bennett) after throwing a punch at Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson). Joe takes Curtis to the station where Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) tells Fitzgerald to remove Curtis’ handcuffs. Now inside the interrogation room, Curtis explains that he believes Isaiah left he and Jordan (Tanisha Harper) dead at the side of the road the night of the accident and provoked him.
BROKEN HAND, BROKEN MAN
Curtis just wants to put it all behind him and says he will pay for Isaiah’s medical bills, but Dante informs him, he is trouble and he needs to call a lawyer. So, he calls Jordan. Meanwhile, Isaiah gets looked at while at General Hospital, and his hand is messed up. He comes to learn he will need multiple surgeries not only for broken bones but two tendons were severed in the process. Isaiah realizes his surgical days are numbered possibility forever, if not for a very long time.
JOSSLYN FINDS ANNA’S MESSAGE
While being held hostage, Josslyn (Eden McCoy) tries again to convince Cassius (Ryan Paevey) to set her free. That leads into the two playing cards and Cassius asking Josslyn how she got into the WSB. Josslyn admits her boyfriend was murdered and she killed the person who was the culprit for retribution. She says she put together all the pieces that he did the crime, and now this line of work gives her purpose.
In the shocking final moments, after Cassius leaves for the night, Josslyn heads to the cot in the other part of the holding room and sees a hand-carved message on the wall from Anna that she was there and help captive on October 31, 2025. We fade to black.
So what did you think of the concern Emma showed for Anna, and the performance of Braedyn Bruner? What are your very initial impressions of Jonathan Bennett as Joe Fitzgerald? Which character is annoying you more in the story … Curtis, Jordan, Portia or Isaiah? Weigh-in via the comment section.
On the Friday, May 15 episode of General Hospital, Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) shared a heartfelt talk on trauma. Dante is so concerned for Rocco (Finn Carr), and how it affects someone for the rest of their life, which is something Elizabeth knows all too well, but got through it.
It all begins when Elizabeth shows up at Dante’s office ready for her date with Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst). How beautiful she looked did not go unnoticed by Dante. When the talked turned to how Dante told Rocco that he knew his son shot Cullum (Andrew Hawkes), he admits he is scared for his child, because he lost his innocence with the emotional baggage he now must carry forever of shooting someone.
Dante notices how Rocco is becoming more and more withdrawn and he wants to know how to help him. Elizabeth bring up how she can absolutely relate to trauma at a young age, just like Rocco. However for Elizabeth, her trauma came in the form of a brutal rape by Tom Baker. Speaking from experience, Elizabeth details that it was her friends and family like Lucky and Bobbie who helped pull her through. She encourages Dante to continue to show up and be there as support for his son.

SPECIAL DELIVERY
Next, an officer delivers to Dante the evidence from the pier shooting, which Dante plans on destroying. Before she leaves for her date with Ric, Liz reassured Dante he is doing the right thing to protect Rocco and she has done the same. She has left no record of Rocco’s hospital visit the night of the shooting. Liz leaves for her date.
THE WRONG SUSPECT
Then, Cullum storm troops in to Dante’s office demanding the evidence that the PCPD must have collected at the site of his shooting. Dante says that the evidence must be misfiled in the warehouse, but they will find it. However, Cullum realizes Dante is stalling and lying. Before heading to Dante’s office, Cullum paid a visit to Carly (Laura Wright) and saw a photo of Danny with Jason, triggering him to now believe that Danny may have been the person who shot him in the back on the pier!

DINING WITH RIC
At dinner at Café Cherie, Ric handed Elizabeth the folder with the priceless piece of artwork he’d purchased for her through Ava. Elizabeth loved it and went over to Ric and planted a kiss on him.
Will GH move Elizabeth into a romance with Dante? Do you think Liz and Dante make a cute couple? After today’s episode, it’s clear they very much like and admire one another. If so, what happens to Liz and Ric’s burgeoning repeat romance? Share your thoughts and picks via the comment section below.
In well-played scenes on the Thursday, May 14 episode of General Hospital, Dante (Dominic Zampogna) finally had a talk with his son, Rocco (Finn Carr) informing him that he knows the teen shot Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).
Rocco has dreaded his father finding out, because he is the acting police commissioner of the Port Charles PD and feared his dad will have to arrest him for the crime.
Dante asks Rocco in his own words to recount what happened the night on the pier. He assured his son, he is not going to arrest him and noted there are very extenuating circumstances surrounding the crime.

FATHER AND SON
Rocco explained how he followed Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) to the pier. Then, how Cullum attacked Britt. Jason (Steve Burton) showed up and fought with Cullum and how the gun came loose.He remembers the other weapon Cullum pulled out to kill Jason and that’s when he shot him.
Next, Dante explained that he was proud of his son for saving Jason and Britt’s lives. He also tells Rocco that he is very concerned in Britt’s involvement in all of this stemming all the way back to the Five Poppies, and feels she is still tied into everything that is happening.
Dante tells Rocco that nobody else can know about this involvement in the shooting. He also touchingly said, that he is his father, he will protect him. However, Rocco is worried that if the truth came out that he shot Cullum, his dad would be in serious trouble for covering up a crime. Dante tells Rocco, he should not worry about that right now, but he needs to stay in Port Charles so he and his mom can keep him safe.
A SHOCKING CALL
Suddenly, as father and son hug it out, Dante gets a call from Justine (Nazneen Contractor), alerting him to the fact that she just met with Cullum and he is looking for the evidence and the file from his shooting. Dante rolls his eyes, knowing things are about to go from bad to worse, and how is he going to keep his son safe from the evil WSB Director?
NOTABLE PERFORMANCES
Dominic Zamprogna always delivers a nice counterbalance to the often histrionics of other characters in Port Charles in his portrayal of Dante Falconeri. So that, when Dante breaks or gets emotional, it counts. Finn Carr has continually shined in the storyline as Rocco continues to teeter on the edge of knowing what he has done and being wracked with guilt. Next up has to be Danny learning his brother is the reason Jason was carted away. Stay tuned!
So, what did you think of the scenes between Dante and Rocco? How on earth will Dante keep Rocco safe? Share your thoughts via the comment section.
