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.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Has Dylan’s Mystery Caller/Stalker Been Revealed to Be an Alive Luna Nozawa?

Published

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.

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

Published

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.”

“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: Sophia Seemingly Plans to End Her Life, But Not Before Setting Fire to Johnny’s Apartment With Him Trapped Inside

Published

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.
