THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Liam and Hope Have Gut-Wrenching Reactions to Grace’s Confession
In an emotional and explosive cliffhanger Friday episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, the August 8th edition of the CBS daytime drama series brought some closure to the fate of two characters, and it featured powerhouse performances from Scott Clifton and Annika Noelle as Liam and Hope learned the truth from Dr. Grace Buckingham (Cassandra Creech) herself, that Liam never had brain cancer in the first place!
Here’s what went down: After Finn (Tanner Novlan) shows up with Grace at Bill’s (Don Diamont) house, Grace says she wants Liam to know the truth about his brain cancer. Liam and Hope assume it’s back. Grace start to confess sharing, “There is no cancer. There is no tumor.” Liam and Hope agree thanking her for saving him as they herald Grace for her live-saving experimental surgery.
Finn finally interrupts their platitudes, and asks Liam to hear Grace out. Next. Grace tells Liam and Hope that she did “something.” She admits she altered his brains scans and changed them to look like he had a tumor. She goes on to say that the brain mass was never there. She made it look like he had cancer. Liam thinks that’s impossible because he had all the signs of brain cancer, pain, dizziness, etc.

Liam goes on to say, “But you operated on me and I have the stitches on my head to prove it.” Finn explains they are superficial cuts that just required a few stitches. Next, Grace reveals why he felt so sick, because she gave him a prescription to mimic symptoms of a brain tumor, so that she could be the one to cure him.
Getting completely rattled and unglued, Liam asks why she would do that? Hope fumes that she can think of why, “A million reasons.” Suddenly, Liam lunges at Grace as Finn jumps in between them. Liam screams, “You put me through hell! And my family! For months!” Grace cries and all she can say is, “I am sorry.”

Grace wants to explain her actions, but Hope screams, “We don’t want to hear you explain!” She tells her she’s as bad as her ex-husband, Reese, who terrorized her and Liam for months when he stole their baby girl, Beth! Immediately, Hope thinks that Grace must be working with Reese. She says she’s not, but that Reese’s gambling debt was so huge that the bookies demanded the money from her, since he could not do anything about it while in jail. They blackmailed her that if she didn’t come up with the money, they would come after her daughters as well as herself.

Next, Liam says it’s still extortion and that she extorted 1 million dollars from his father, while sh passed herself off as a God. Hope walks over to Grace and gives her a massive bitch-slap and says, You are sick!” Liam tells Grace it doesn’t matter how sorry she is or how scared she was, because she robbed him and his family of months of their lives.
Grace says she is turning herself in to the cops because she cannot live with what she did. Finn says he wanted Liam and Hope to hear all this from Grace before he takes her to the police station. As they head out, a devastated Hope and Liam are shattered as Hope holds her ex-husband in her arms for all that Liam had gone through.

Meanwhile, Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) is on to Li (Naomi Matsuda). She follows Li home and knocks on her door and pretends she is a delivery person, so when Li answers, she wedges her foot in the door. She sees there is a curtain and rips it back to reveal Luna (Lisa Yamada) laying in the bed, and cries, “Luna! She’s alive! My granddaughter is alive!”
Now below, you can check out the key scenes where Grace confesses her heinous plot to Liam and Hope, followed by B&B’s Look Ahead for the action next week where Bill learns of Grace’s deception and vows payback!
Then, let us know, what did you think of the performances of Scott Clifton and Annika Noelle? What will be the upshot of this story for them? Will their shared past with the Buckinghams bring them back together? And what of Grace? Will she try to make a getaway as Finn is taking her to turn herself in? Meanwhile, now that Sheila has found out that Luna is alive, who will she blab the news to first? Finn? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

Will Grace be punished for her misdeeds? Or will she be like Sheila and Luna, allowed to continue to be on canvas despite the violent and premeditated nature of their crimes? I rather hate the lack of punishment. There are not characters who are just bad but mean and truly criminal. Having Grace be judged so harshly seems unfair. Will we see Paris and Thomas? Was there any storyline to suggest the Buckingham sisters were in danger? Do Bill’s stupid actions in recent years (Sheila? Luna? Treating Katy poorly?) Make him irrelevant? I liked when Bill was a force. I have already sounded off on the endless Brooke Ridge whirlpool. Sigh.
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.
