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
General Hospital
Could Kristen Vaganos and Josh Kelly Be Exiting ‘General Hospital?’

General Hospital fans took to social media following the airing of the Wednesday, October 21 episode of the ABC daytime drama series. In story, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) reveals to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) that she has received an offer to join the top law firm in Chicago that practices civil law. She says it’s her dream job.
The problem Molly says is relocating from Port Charles and uprooting her life and being away from her mother, Scout and boyfriend Cody Bell (Josh Kelly). Wistful that she may lose another daughter to a long-distance situation (Kristina left a few months back to go to medical school in California), Alexis urged Molly to get Cody to go with her.
Molly still seemed concerned and has trouble committing to the idea. Alexis tells her to talk it over with Cody. Meanwhile, Cody asked Tracy (Jane Elliot) is he can have Thanksgiving off because he and Molly planned to spend Thanksgiving together with their families. After initially balking, Tracy agrees.

WILL MOLLY AND CODY HEAD TO CHI-TOWN?
Later, Cody shows up at Miller & Davis and the conversation turned to Thanksgiving dinner that Alexis is hosting. Molly and Cody asked her not to cook anything. Cody hugged Molly reassuring Alexis that he and Molly would take care of whatever was needed on Turkey Day.
So, this raises the question, why out of nowhere are we learning that Molly received an amazing law offer in Chicago, if the character was not being written out? If Molly leaves the canvas, would the character of Cody make his exit too?
Kristen Vaganos joined GH as a recast Molly Lansing-Davis back in September of 2023 and went on contract in August of 2024. Josh Kelly began playing Cody Bell back in June of 2022. Initial reports were that Kelly joined the show on contract and then as of June 2025 went on recurring status with the show per his choice.
Do you see a world where GH is writing out Molly and Cody? Would you be sad to see Kristen and Josh exit the soap opera? If this is not what is going on, is this just a plot point for some other story that is upcoming? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Adam Delivers Sally’s Baby as Billy Reels from Jill’s Health Crisis in Tearjerker Episode

The Tuesday, October 20 episode saw The Young and the Restless deliver some deeply-poignant moments in the aftermath of Billy (Jason Thompson) and Sally’s (Courtney Hope) wedding.
The scenes which will be talked about for some time to come, because of how they can impact longterm story, had Adam (Mark Grossman) being the one to deliver Billy and Sally’s baby, while Billy was gut-punched by a phone call from Snapper Foster that Jill had suffered a heart attack in London.
In story, while up in Sally’s room at the GCAC, wishing his ex all the happiness, (because Adam and Billy have no love lost, and he didn’t want to cause waves), Sally’s water broke. In true soapy fashion, all phones were dead. Sally’s phone was missing because it was with Audra (Zuleyka Silver), Adam’s battery ran out etc. Prior to that, Adam did try to call Billy, but Billy did not pick up his calls, as he was with Cane (Billy Flynn) coming to terms with the news on Jill.

TORN BETWEEN RUNNING TO HIS MOTHER OR HIS NEW WIFE AND BABY
Now in the perfect storm of circumstances, Adam is the one to help Sally deliver her baby when she begged him to stay with er screaming, “Please don’t make me do this alone!” Adam reminded Sally that he’d already delivered a baby twice before. She assured him that it will be OK, and not to be scared, because this isn’t the same set of circumstances when she lost their daughter, Ava, during childbirth.
Downstairs, Billy is in tears over his mother. So too is Cane. Cane speaks to Jill on the phone when Snapper holds the phone to her while at her hospital bed. He tells her he loves her. Billy cannot bring himself to talk to his mom.
Cane decides he will go to London. Billy doesn’t know what to do with a new wife and a baby on the way. It’s clear how much losing Jill would devastate Billy. Cane tells Lily (Christel Khalil) what has happened to Jill, and Billy informs Jack (Peter Bergman) before he tries to find his bride who is upstairs in her room.

A NEW ABBOTT
Back in Sally’s room, eventually Adam asks Sally (who is deep in labor), if she thought she was having a girl or boy, and she said a boy. But then, Adam introduced her to her “beautiful, perfect baby girl.” It was a moment laced with so much history for Adam and Sally and Adam and Billy, when you think of the deaths of Ava and Deliah.
As Sally cradled her newborn little bundle of joy, Adam went to go get Billy at her request, and as he made his way to the door, Billy was standing there. Billy is stunned to see his rival standing, but then Sally tells Billy to meet his daughter!
Billy rushes to the bedside to be my his new wife and daughter, with the heartbreaking final shot of Adam emotionally overcome thinking of the baby he has lost with Sally. and how he wishes things could have turned out differently in a bittersweet moment.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Finn Blows a Gasket After Steffy Reveals She’s Gone Ahead and Become Carter and Daphne’s Surrogate

On the Monday, October 19 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, after Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) stammering around and trying to find a way to couch her lie to her husband, Finn (Tanner Novlan), she finally admits what she has been dreading telling him.
But not before, Finn and Steffy rehash Monaco, Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown), and how it was turning point in their lives (that’s an understatement) with Finn reiterating, “Our marriage is precious. What we have is pure and true.”
Finn promises Sheila is out of their lives for good, and Steffy chokes back tears saying how she wished she hadn’t removed her ring and hightailed it out of Monaco. She says she wishes she could take that back, but she can’t.

Steffy tells Finn she has a lot to say. Finn tells her there is nothing they can’t overcome. Steffy says she made a significant decision while he was away. She goes to to say what a great friend Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) has been to her. Finn asks if Daphne and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) are still interviewing to find a surrogate? Steffy says they found someone and the process has begun, and its “me.”
Finn gulps, “What do you mean it’s you?” Steffy eeks out of her mouth, “I agreed to be Daphne and Carter’s surrogate.” Finn, who is a doctor no less says, “I don’t understand!” He explains he knows there is a list of medical and legal hurdles someone has to go through before a woman can become a surrogate for a couple. He also tells Steffy he knows she could never carry a child and give it up.
Next, Finn tells Steffy she’s wonderful for considering to do this for Carter and Daphne, but she’ll have to tell them no. Steffy says it’s too late. That while he was out of town they went ahead with the procedure. Finn asks, “What procedure?” Steffy responds, “The fertilization of the eggs.” Finn learns they used Steffy’s frozen eggs and did the implantation and loses it!
“I can’t believe you went and did that! This isn’t something a wife does when their husband is out of town on a business trip,” hollers Finn. He cannot believe what he is hearing and that his wife just went and did this without him! He pushes back on Steffy. demanding answers, “There’s more going on here. What is it? Steffy? Tell me!” We fade to black.
You can check out the pivotal scene between Finn and Steffy below.
Now weigh-in: are you glad Finn is as of now not being a doofus? That he is pushy back on Steffy? Do you think Steffy will continue with this lie or admit she slept with Carter and became pregnant? Either way, would Finn stay with his wife while she became a surrogate for Carter and Daphne? Let us know in the comment section.
