On the Monday, March 18th episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, after several agonizing pauses (for the viewers), Hope (Annika Noelle) finally gave Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) his answer on the now second time he proposed to her.

In tears, once again, Hope turns Thomas down, leaving him stunned and probably shattered  after he told Hope her answer will be a “make it or break it moment.”

Hope cries, “I love you. Thomas, I really do. But I can’t accept your proposal. I’m not ready.”  Thomas says, “You’re turning me down again”  That’s when Hope goes over the list of reasons she can’t marry the guy including: she just got out of a marriage, she is focused on herself, her kids, and her career. As Thomas pulls away from her, she cries, “Thomas, I love you! I love you. I just not ready for a forever commitment. I can’t be your wife.” Thomas slams the door and walks out.

Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), who has already had it with Hope, and after an earlier conversation with Liam (Scott Clifton), runs into Thomas in the office and he tells her Hope turned his proposal down again. Steffy tells him, she knew Hope would do this. She implores him to move on with his life and forget about her.

Elsewhere, Poppy (Romy Park) is at the cliff house talking to Finn (Tanner Novlan). He knows that Luna just wants to know who her biological father is, so why doesn’t she just tell her?  Finn questions Poppy, “Do you know who Luna’s father is?” She responds, “If I told you that Luna was conceived in love, would that answer your question?”

Finn looks dumbfounded. Poppy tells Finn that Luna needs a strong male influence in her life and looks up to Finn. “Please, will you do it?, she pleads. Finn says he will be there for her daughter, he adds though, that as Luna’s cousin, he thinks it’s time she learns who her biological father truly is. So, what is going on here? Did Poppy and Finn take “Magic Mints” together (or him unknowingly) and hit the sheets, years ago?

Let us know your thoughts on Hope breaking Thomas’ heart and turning down his proposal, yet again, and Poppy asking Finn to be the father figure in Luna’s life via the comment section below.

20 years ago Finn was 7 so no maybe Finn’s real dad that would send Li over the edge Could it be Eric forester with those ridiculous mints it could be Brad Pitt or George Clooney Crazy storyline

Uhhh. I did not watch Friday’s or Monday’s episode and walk away thinking Finn was the father. As a matter of fact, I am sure Poppy was hinting at Jack Finnegan, Finn’s father, as being the biological father. How can Luna be ‘conceived in love’ if the speculation is Finn doesn’t have any recollection of anything going down and was drugged by his aunt, Poppy? ‘Conceived in love’ implies a long-term mutual affair. Poppy was in love with Luna’s father. Poppy asking Finn to be a male presence was a clear indication that Finn is her older brother, and he’s the next best thing to Jack, without revealing directly that Jack fathered Luna.

Finn as a baby daddy Getting all gothic

No, but maybe Poppy hit the sheets with Finn’s father, who obviously was a cheater on Li with Sheila. Finn and Luna are half siblings, not cousins.

I believe this is exactly where they are going. B&B did tell us that Poppy lived with Jack and Li, a year prior to Luna’s birth, and Poppy never told Luna about that.

This show is so damn messy!! It’s musical beds and it doesn’t matter if you are related!

I think this is just rewriting of scripts. Only the names have been changed. This show is just cart on three wheels rattling down the hill. I don’t think this is the way to assure Finn of or to build his family bonds.

Would love Big Daddy Jack as the daddy . He still revs up some big masculine energy that Ted King

Pretty sure Finn is older than 27 since he is a doctor & has been for years. Poppy knows Finn is not related to her by blood since Li is not his birth mother so I definitely think he could be Luna’s father. Thomas is making a fool of himself-Hope clearly told him the other day to simmer down, she’s not ready, etc. things are good, let’s keep it that way. He should have listened. Why the rush to be married? And to plan that stupid dramatic proposal AT THE OFFICE in the MIDDLE OF THE DAY while Steffy is working down the hall, ha. And by the way Liam needs to get a life. I never thought he could become more annoying but he has.

General Hospital

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

Published

Josh and Kristen

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

Billy, Sally and Adam

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.

Steffy and Finn

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.
