Friday’s episode of The Bold and the Beautiful left viewers with an emotional cliffhanger culminating in a major reveal for the gravely-ill, Eric Forrester (John McCook).

As the Forrester family continue to try to put on a brave front at Eric’s party at the Forrester mansion, Eric takes a moment to bestow his ‘parting words’ to each person. Eric shares heartfelt moments with Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor), Thorne (Winsor Harmon), Bridget (Ashley Jones), Thomas (Matthew Atkinson), Hope (Annika Noelle), Zende (Delon de Metz), RJ (Joshua Hoffman), and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang). Each shares how he has impacted their lives personally and professionally.

Katie (Heather Tom) and Donna (Jennifer Gareis) check in with Eric. He admits the party is a little more emotional than he thought, and it’s as if more than the just the three of them know the truth about him dying. As he begins to cough, Eric tells Katie and Donna, he wants to keep the truth from the family as long as he can. Donna offers to get him water, but he requests some champagne.

As Donna goes to get Eric a little bit of champagne, she overhears Brooke, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), Thomas and Hope secretly chatting about the fact that Eric didn’t win the fashion challenge, and how he must never know. Confronting the group over what she heard. Donna is shocked! She tells them that Eric can never find out the truth. Donna says this will kill Eric if he finds out you have all been lying to him.

Eric has a moment with Steffy, where he calls her “the jewel of the family.”  Steffy acknowledges she has inherited some of her grandmother’s, the late Stephanie Forrester’s traits.  As the party is winding down, Eric wants to take a moment to give his kudos to Donna, and Ridge.

This sets up the moment of truth – how he and Ridge have competed with one another over the years. He calls Ridge, “not a bad designer.” However, not the best, because he won the ‘fashion challenge’ and winning that meant everything to him.

All of a sudden, the entire room goes silent.  Eric gets the clue and says to Ridge, “I did win right? You told me I won?” At that moment, Eric realizes Ridge lied. He asks his son, “Why would you do that? Why would you lie about something so important to me?”

Eric looks around the room and everyone has tears welling up in their eyes. He realizes everyone must know the truth about him, that he is dying.  Eric tells Ridge that lying to. him was actually the nicest thing anyone has ever done for him. The father and son share an embrace.  Suddenly, Eric collapses to the ground. With his family surrounding him, Eric says. “It’s my time and I’m at peace. Be kind to each other.” The final shot of the episode shows the entire Forrester clan hovering over Eric.

Meanwhile, it is inferred that Finn (Tanner Novlan), who has not been at the party with his wife Steffy, is working hard on a medical case.  Of course, it has to be Eric’s! Will Finn have some surprising news of a way to save the patriarch of the fashion dynasty? Stay tuned.

Finn will save him.

It’s obvious that Finn will provide whatever “antidote” is needed to keep Eric alive.
But happy for Thorne and Bridget to return.
Maybe they can stay for awhile and provide more storylines…
The Spencers are MIA
The Avants are gone
It’s just boring Forresters
Fortunately I have a sink full of dishes to do while this show is on…

Enough of Eric dying, and dying !! Where are Thomas and Hope !! RJ stepping over Zende is a shame. It’s bad enough Thomas’ mom is gone, now we need to deal with Booke and Ridge’s offspring who has no right to step over Zende !!

More Thomas and Hope and less RJ and Luna , please !!! Not only Zende has had enough of RJ, so have we !!!

Not interested in this storyline.nNot interested in Luna and RJ, unless Luna is Bill’s daughter. No more new children please ! No more ‘ do you love Tjomss !!” Repititious storylinesand the youngsters are causing me to lose interest !

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny and Jason Trade Threats on Each Other

The love affair that once was mobster Sonny (Maurice Benard) and hit man Jason (Steve Burton), and having each others back, is now apparently over! On the Thursday April 25th episode of General Hospital, an increasingly paranoid Sonny is confronted by Jason.

Jason wants to talk to Sonny about a “family matter”, but Sonny says they aren’t family now because he’s working with the Feds. Sonny goes on to say how he cannot trust Carly (Laura Wright) or Jason and he knows about Jason buying back the Metro Court for Carly from Nina (Cynthia Watros).

When the conversation turns to Josslyn (Eden McCoy) and Dex (Evan Hofer), Jason informs Sonny that Kristina (Kate Mansi) knows Sonny ordered a hit. Jason is worried about Dex’s safety. He tells Sonny that if he does something to Dex, Kristina will figure out that he is responsible.

Sonny goes on to say how much he loves his kids and how he will protect them. He then tears into Jason for abandoning his sons, Danny and Jake, for two years and how he has no right to stand there to tell him what to do.

Jason warns Sonny again to leave Dex alone or he’ll personally stop him. Sonny snaps at Jason, countering, “You’ll die trying!” And at that point, Jason walks out and Sonny slams the door behind him.

What do you think about this split in the longstanding relationship of Jason and Sonny? Do you like Jason and Sonny at odds? Will Kristina be the person to ultimately figure out what is happening to Sonny, or it might it be Nina, who knows Ava (Maura West) is up to no good? Share your thoughts in the comment section, but first watch this clip from part of the Sonny/Jason scenes below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Brook Lynn and Chase Have Their Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties

On General Hospital, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) both were treated to Bachelorette and Bachelor parties to shake off any of those pre-wedding jitters. At The Savoy, the ladies have a touching and fun time with Brook Lynn.

The bride-to-be gives a speech to thank everyone for coming, while Lois lets everyone know to try the signature cocktail the “Brooklynn Chaser”, which gets everybody eventually and mostly, drunk.

When Tracy (Jane Elliot) questions Lois (Rena Sofer) as to why there is no music for the party, Lois realizes she forgot, and somehow, who does she call to the rescue? Spinelli (Bradford Anderson)! Saving the day, he winds up playing some tunes and later gets on the dance floor to ‘shake it off’ with the gals.

Lois makes a speech as the mother of the bride, and shares how proud she is of the woman Brook Lynn has become. Wedding games begin, including one of “hot potato” with a wedding bouquet.

When it’s time for the “Silly Poses” section of the party, Spinelli has now morphed from DJ to staff photographer taking memorable photos of the ladies to remember the evening by.

The best part of the event, was when Brook Lynn tries to get her grandmother Tracy out on the dance floor, which, at first, she refuses. After several of the guests bust a move, a tipsy Tracy joins the dance party after Joss mentions that if her grandmother Bobbie was here, she would dance. Tracy says “she agrees” and begins to cut a rug on the floor, much to the delight of the other women.

In the final moments, a tipsy Joss and Kristina (Kate Mansi) have a confrontation about Sonny, and Joss lets Kristina in more on Sonny’s behavior, which looks to have clued in Kristina a bit more as to how something is way off about her dad.

Across town at the Hatchett Bar, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and the men with the exception of Anna (Finola Hughes) and Jordan (Tanisha Harper), all attend Chase’s Bachelor Party where throwing hatchets into a dart board for supremacy is the order of the day. Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Ned (Wally Kurth) get into some words over ELQ, while Dante makes a toast to his police partner, Chase.

Suddenly Dex (Evan Hofer) shows up. Chase thanks Dex for coming, but Dex gets some dirty looks from other cops on the force. Dante gives Chase his present, which is a signed baseball by the Boston Red Sox.

Ned (Wally Kurth) makes a speech that although no one is good enough for his daughter, Brook Lynn, Chase has come closer than anyone has, so welcome to the family. Running in at the end is Blaze (Jacqueline Grace Lopez), who just left Brook Lynn’s party, and she toasts her singing partner, Chase, and to the great man that he is.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Nina Confronts Ava for Sabotaging Her Relationship With Sonny and Signs the Divorce Papers

Looks like Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Ava (Maura West) are back to be each other’s sworn enemy number one. By the end of the Monday, April 22nd episode of General Hospital, the women know where they stand with each other after Nina goes in on Ava accusing her of wanting Sonny (Maurice Benard) all to herself, while her marriage has been on the rocks.

In story, at Nina’s office, Ava shows up to see Nina and says she is sorry about what happened with Sonny and that he reacted the way he did, acknowledging that is was over the top, even for Sonny. Ava says she’ll smooth things over, but Nina says she now understands how manipulative and transparent Ava really is.

Given their horrible history, Nina goes in on Ava and how she should never have trusted her. Nina wants to know how long has Ava had this agenda dating all the way back to telling Nina to turn Carly (Laura Wright) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) into the SEC. Ava says she never told her do to that, but Nina wants to know how long Ava has been playing her for a fool.

Ava says she moved in with Sonny to keep Avery safe and she wants to be on good terms with Avery’s father, Sonny. Nina thinks she likes being in Sonny’s inner circle. Ava tells Nina if she goes to him about her advising Nina to call the SEC on Carly and Drew, it won’t work.  Sonny still considers Nina a traitor and he will think she’s lying because she’s so desperate to win him back. Ava says if Nina would stop blaming everyone else that maybe Sonny would respect her.  Nina says “like he does you?” Ava says Sonny not only respects her, but he also counts on her.

From there, Ava launches into why she and Sonny understand each other, after all, Sonny is a powerful, turbulent, and sometimes violent man. She goes so far to say if Nina wanted someone to just sit by the fire with and play with their grandchildren, she’s got the wrong guy.  Ava then talks about Mike from Nixon Falls (Sonny with amnesia) and how Sonny hid the darkest parts of himself from Nina back then, whereas with Ava they are the same similar creatures, so he doesn’t have to hide anything.

Nina wants to know just what Ava wants with Sonny? What is her end game? Ava responds that they understand each other, in ways she can’t with Sonny. Nina tells Ava she can go ahead and have it all and signs Sonny’s divorce papers. Ava walks out with the documents, while Nina in tears at her desk, takes off her wedding rings and has her assistant come in so she can messenger the rings back to Sonny’s address.

The episode and these scenes featured great performances by Cynthia Watros and Maura West. You can check some of the scenes below.

Now, let us know, what is Ava’s next move? Is she going to become Mrs. Sonny Corinthos? Do you like Ava and Nina as enemies? Comment below.
