THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Grace Confesses to Faking Liam’s Brian Tumor Diagnosis; Ridge Dives Into the Sea to Save Brooke
In the pivotal, Tuesday August 5th episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Finn (Tanner Novlan) has Grace (Cassandra Creech) backed into a corner and gets her to crack, while at the same time, Liam (Scott Clifton) and Hope (Annika Noelle) are discussing the coincidence that one Dr. Buckingham gave them a miracle, while the other stole their daughter, Beth.
Liam dubs this the, “Tale of Two Buckinghams.” Just then, for the first time in a long time, B&B flashes back to the heartbreaking moment when Hope and Liam learned that “Beth” had died, only it was coordinated effort by Dr. Reese Buckingham (Wayne Brady) to sell the child to pay off his gambling debts and make them believe their child had died. Little do they know, his ex-wife, Grace is just as despicable!
Back at the hospital, Finn demands to know what’s going on with Grace. Angry, Finn shouts that he trusts and respects her and she needs to tell him the truth now. Grace stalls saying the surgery was a success, Liam wanted to live, why do they need to talk about this?

Finn, who has put two and two together knows that Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) paying 1 million dollars for the surgery was an insane amount of money, coupled with the fact that the type of incision marks left on Liam were too small for a brain surgery. In addition, there is no record of the supposed expert she flew him from some foreign country for this “experimental” procedure.
Next, Finn tells Grace he doesn’t remember anyone from the neuro team being in Liam’s room. She was the one delivering the findings, and now there are no neurological records at all of Liam’s case. Finn believes its all adding up to the fact that Liam didn’t have an inoperable brain tumor at all! With no place to hide, Grace cracks and says, “I had no choice. I had no choice!” She confesses she made up the brain cancer diagnosis.

Suddenly Grace screams, “They were threatening my girls!” When Finn asked her who, she explained it was people who her ex-husband owed a tremendous gambling debt too, and they knew where her daughter Zoe and Paris lived and where she lived. An emotional Grace shrieks, “I needed the money! I needed the money, I needed the money! I was desperate.”
Meanwhile, in Italy, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) is trying to stop Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) from sailing off with Nick (Jack Wagner) in his boat, since Eric figured out Nick’s plan to propose to Brooke and alerted Ridge. As Ridge tries to locate them, he runs into two boating engineers who tell him Nick’s boat has a steering problem.

Brooke, who is now lounging on the bow of the boat, is enjoying the ride, while Nick’s steering freezes up as another boat gets too close to theirs and Brooke goes overboard. Ridge spots this and jumps into the sea to save her. We fade to black.
So, are you outraged at the story of how Dr. Grace Buckingham pulled off a heinous medical scam on Liam to get $1 million dollars to pay off the debt from her ex-husband? Were you hoping this storyline would ultimately kill-off Liam, or end a different way? What do you think about Ridge jumping into the waters to save his “Logan?” Share your thoughts via the comment section. But first, check out the prologue scenes between Cassandra Creech and Tanner Novlan as Grace starts to unravel below.
Please let Liam croak or be left a mute
Get rid of Steffy..I can’t stand her no dressing, simple, non- CEO appearance…Conceded, nasty attitude…AND FOR CRYING OUT LOUD….TWO IDIOTS FIGHTING OVER THAT SCRAGGY LOOKING RIDGE
Yeah I absolutely agree with everything u just said Crazy mudder fxxkers all of them But I still have to watch it everyday if I can
Absolutely I agree with everything u just said!!! It’s hilarious but I still have to watch it on a daily basis
I love the show. Just don’t like the way Taylor’s role is always portrayed fighting for Ridge against Brooke. I truly believe Brooke needs to move on and have a new love in her life. Taylor deserves to be happy. I do enjoy the change Sheila character with Deacon.
Not to turn this into a race discussion, but I dont like how Bell has now just destroyed any kind of Buckingham storyline. Both Grace and Reese are POC and doctors, no less, and now have trashed both their characters in a RERUN storyline. Reese needed the money years ago to protect Paris and Zoe, now Grace did it for the same reason?! Its just a lame off screen story with no impact. Grace didnt even shed any tears, and I KNOW her portrayer can act bc she was amazing on ATWT as Denise. I just didnt see the need for this. When Reese left town, he left with the money Taylor gave him($50K if I recall) for Baby Phoebe/Beth. Then was allegedly apprehended(again, off screen). I dint even see the point of having a threat of Liam dying to give him a storyline. They have Ivy wasting away in storyline Siberia when they could repair Liam and Ivy! What about a Ivy/Liam/Hope/Finn/Steffy/Carter octagon?! So many other stories they could’ve done.
So true…
Not about race.Please if we want diversity we need to let all people be good bad or somewhere in between.
Not to turn this into a race discussion but let’s turn this into a race discussion.Let people be people without first looking at skin color.
I am just sick of the Ridge & Brooke story back & forth. Let them stay together & live happily ever happen. No realistic married couple goes back & forth as many times as they have. What number are we at now – 10??
Good episode! Wait until everyone finds out the truth about Liam.
I’m so done with B&B. Surprise surprise Ridge saved Brooke so now they’re back together, so now he dumps Taylor again. So predictable. Back and forth between Ridge,Brooke and Taylor. I hope Taylor tells Ridge,Eric and the Logan sisters off for plotting against. Why does Ridge keep going back to Brooke? She’s cheating on him with Bill and Nick. Been married to his father and had a daughter with him. I’m tried of Taylor always losing to Booke. Taylor needs a man to love her only. B&B needs new writers. The show is so predictable. Liam,Steffy and Hope triangle is the same as Ridge, Brooke and Taylor. Now the same storyline with Li taking care of Luna like she did Finn. I’m watching B&B. GH is a much better Soap.
I think i am hoing to stop watching B&B FOR A WHILE, never liked Brook and sick of her and Ridge.
Exactly the writers needs to retire. They socks
I’m sick of the Brooke and Ridge storyline.what man is so in love with a woman that she slept with every male in his family. This story has been unbelievable since the beginning. Then you had steffy and hope going thru the same and don’t forget she slept with her daughter husband
It makes me sick, I left Y&R now leaving B&B
What does Ridge have? He always look unkempt and non appealing….Brooke and Taylor please!!! Eric looks better,
Liam be gone already. Ridge finally got it right. Goodbye Taylor and nick. Poor Grace. I
Guess you will take Lunas place in pridon
I’m so sick of the Ridge and Brooke thing I truly find myself skipping the show lately.
Ridge went into the interview waters
I am tired of the Ridge and Brook story line. Taylor deserves better story lines.
Brook and Ridge belong together!!! ,Taylor need to go away!!!!!!!
I’m glad they didn’t get rid of Liam I like him he’s a nice caring person so what he had two women a lot of men do , so please give him a better story line like Daphne or some other woman not Hope please.
Hope Ridge and brook finally reunite forever this time thats destiny
Let Liam live and him and hope finally get a break and a great love story without ang interference Ridge and Brooke belong together let them be and get some new stuff

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Has Dylan’s Mystery Caller/Stalker Been Revealed to Be an Alive Luna Nozawa?
We have another scream machine on her hands at The Bold and the Beautiful after the dramatic ending of the May 1 episode, and that would be Dylan (Sydney Bullock)!
B&B is finally making some headway on just who was the person behind the mystery call that Dylan received telling her they have some “unfinished business.” At the time of the mysterious call, it was clear that the voice was altered to disguise the true identify of the person on the the other line.
On today’s show, after Dylan and Electra (Laneya Grace) exchange words in the wardrobe room about Dylan wanting to rebuild their trust and friendship and how Electra has issues stemming from way back trusting anyone after what Remy (Christian Weissmanm) did to her by befriending her and then plastering deep fake nude photos of her across social media.

Photo: JPI
The timing of Electra bringing up Remy is also interesting to us, as we had previously reported now that Christian Weissmann is back and on on contract with The Bold and the Beautiful, he’s already teased that Remy has another connection to someone on the canvas, which many are still believing its Dylan.
At the end of the episode, after Electra leaves the room, Dylan hears noises coming from behind the dress rack. She asks, “Jamie” is that with you? After no answer and a bit more hangar and dress ruffling, a figure steps out behind it, while Dylan is looking down at her tablet trying to get back to work.
When Dylan looks up, she lets out a scream that could be heard to Nebraska, as viewers see partial view of what looks to be a woman with long dark hair from the back. Dylan in shock, says, “It’s you!” We fade to black.
So, what’s going on here? Is the reason the caller said to her that we have “unfinished business” because on Monday, it will be revealed to actually be an alive and well, Luna (Lisa Yamada)? Did the two strikes some sort of deal, that allowed Dylan to help Luna escape after Luna supposedly died after Dylan ran her down with her car, which was all off-screen? Another theory, is the mystery caller is Remy and he is doing some sort of Luna fakeout on Dylan for a yet to be revealed reason.
What do you think is going on? Did Lisa Yamada just make an on-screen return to The Bold and the Beautiful? Share your thoughts and theories below, but first check out our recent interview from back in March on the Michael Fairman Channel when Lisa who attended the BBTV app launch party.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Nick Confesses His Drug Problem to Victor; Joshua Morrow, Mark Grossman, Eric Braeden Bring the Newman Bond
When The Young and the Restless can deliver an emotional side to their stories and their family dynamics, it usually makes for some great scenes delivered by their A-list cast.
Such was the case on the Friday, May 1 episode when Adam (Mark Grossman) and Nick (Joshua Morrow) returned to Genoa City and gave their father, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), an update on what had gone down with Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) in Las Vegas.
As Victor questioned, “What the hell happened?” Nick piped up, “We both made mistakes along the way, but we’re here now and we’re sorry for giving you so much worry on top of everything else that you’re dealing with,” which was in reference to Victor trying to reclaim his company Newman Enterprises et al.

NICK’S CONFESSION
Next, Nick, explains one of the ways he messed up while trying to go after Matt Clark, when he admitted to this father with tears in his eyes, “That’s one of the ways I messed up … I took Fentanyl willingly. Some of it was because of Matt, but most of it was on me. I was in a lot of pain, dad, after my accident, I was burning through my prescription meds really quickly after I left the hospital. I could see that it was becoming a problem. But honestly, I thought that I could manage it. I was wrong. I was out in LA and Matt had taken Noah (Lucas Adams) and Sienna (Tamara Braun) and he gave me this bag of pills and said I could use it to trade for information. When I went out to that drug warehouse, he was trying to convince me and Sharon (Sharon Case) that Noah was a drug addict. I just put the pills in my pocket of my jacket and I came back to Genoa City and I was in a lot of pain, dad, and I was wearing that jacket. I put my hands in the pocket and the pills were there.”
Nick sadly added, “I was desperate. I couldn’t get anymore prescription meds, so I took the fentanyl I’m deeply ashamed that I was so weak, but all I can do is stand here and tell you the truth that I’m going to make this right and I’ll get better.”
BROTHER TO BROTHER
Adam stood up for his brother and reconfirmed to Victor the plan for help Nick through his pill addiction, “Nick is already on his way to doing that. Sharon has set up an appointment with an outpatient facility. He’s going to do the meetings and he’s going to push through this better than ever.”

Courtesy/CBS
“You should also know that the only reason I’m standing here is because of Adam,” Nick confessed to Victor. “Every time I fell, you were there to pick me up. You risked your life to save me, and that’s not something I will ever forget.”
In the climatic and emotional ending of the scene, Nick in tears admits his shame to his dad, who comes in to give him hug. Nick says, “I’m so sorry. I know that this is the last thing you or this family needs.”
All three actors, Joshua Morrow, Mark Grossman and Eric Braeden, were excellent in this exchange in their scenes, but at its epicenter continues to be the Emmy-worthy performances by Y&R MVP, Joshua Morrow. Nick’s heartbreaking journey and fall from grace with his pill addiction problem has finally shown the clinks in the armor of the man who is always on the ready to help others … now he needs to let others help him through this. Can we do it?
So, what did you think of the scenes between the Newman man featuring Joshua, Mark and Eric on the Friday episode of Y&R? And though who watched also know that at the very end, Matt Clark who clearly has been injured wakes up from being conked out, so there is more revenge to come on the Newman clan. Share your thoughts below, but take a look at these scenes from a Canadian viewers who saw them air yesterday.

Days Of Our Lives
DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Sophia Seemingly Plans to End Her Life, But Not Before Setting Fire to Johnny’s Apartment With Him Trapped Inside
The final few moments of the Thursday, April 30 episode of Days of our Lives, will pave the way, to what just may be the end of Sophia Choi’s (Rachel Boyd) life, but not as you may think!
After an unhinged Sophia paid a visit to Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), maced him in the eyes, knocked him out and then tied up to a chair, now conscious, she lets him know that she holds him responsible for all the trouble and trauma she has gone through from adopting her child, and her being sent to a mental institution.
So instead of the unregistered gun Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) gave her to finish off Johnny, Sophia sets up a plan to light candle, use nail polish remover and turn on the gas on the stove to ultimately create a mass explosion, which although Johnny pleaded to her not to that to all the innocent people inside his apartment building, she doesn’t seem to care.

FIERY FACE OFF
The plan was supposed to be, after she takes care of Johnny she will toss the gun in the Salem River, then focus on payback to Holly Jonas before leaving town to start a new life.
Now, Sophia makes her exit, leaving Johnny to be a few moments away from an explosion or gas inhalation, when Chanel (Raven Bowens) comes home after awaiting the results of her mammogram. She sees Johnny tied up, as he panics and tells her to put out the flame on the candle, things go awry, and a fire has begun and everything may go up in flames with Johnny and Chanel inside.

A BROKEN SOPHIA
Back in her room, Sophia breaks down after reading the social media comments about her, she planted, and then starts writing a suicide or farewell note which says. “I’m tired of begging for forgiveness for my mistakes. All I wanted was to move forward, to be loved and understood. But it’s clear that I was never going to get that. Holly Jonas said that I was dead to her. So, as her former BFF, I’m going to make her dream a reality.”

A DEADLY TRAP
Now, the fate of Johnny, Chanel and Sophia will be revealed on tomorrow’s May 1st cliffhanger, which may be the end of Sophia when she crosses paths with Kirsten at the bridge near the river. We do know Rachel Boyd is no longer appearing in the show credits section and is now off contract with the soap.
So, what did you think of the climatic final moments of DAYS? What did you think of the performance of Rachel Boyd as Sophia Choi? Let us know via the comment section.
