THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Sheila Gaslights Steffy as Jacqueline MacInnes Woods On-Air Maternity Leave to Begin
Friday’s cliffhanger and recap of The Bold and the Beautiful, sets the stage of Jacqueline MacInnes Woods (Steffy) exit story. The actress is going on her maternity leave from the show.
Here’s where we are and went down: At the cliff house, Steffy tells Finn (Tanner Novlan) she wants to come back home. The couple are reconciling after Steffy lost trust in Finn, for not being able to protect her, or her children, from his mother, Sheila (Kimberlin Brown). Finn’s so sorry he lost her trust, but assures that their little family comes first.
Elsewhere, Sheila tells Deacon (Sean Kanan), she’s tired of feeling like her life is on hold and she’s going to do something to change that stating, “I’m going to make it happen today!” That comment puts the fear of God in Deacon.
Back at the cliff house, Finn tells Steffy what a hell it was without her. He goes on to ensure Steffy that he can protect her and the kids and vows that she’ll never have to deal with Sheila, ever, ever, ever again. (Right?) The two start to have ‘sexy time’ with each other, but as they make out, Steffy notices a shadowy figure outside the patio doors. Steffy gasps that it’s Sheila. Steffy screams, “She’s here! She’s here! Sheila’s here!” We fade to black.
Now, in their latest issue, Soap Opera Digest is reporting that next Thursday, September 7th will mark the last airdate Jacquline MacInnes Wood will be seen in upcoming episodes for awhile. The actress will be on her scheduled maternity leave from that point on – meaning Steffy will be temporarily off-screen.

However, Steffy won’t leave before a major confrontation with Sheila goes down. But once she’s spotted stalking Steffy, Woods told SOD to look for Finn to go after his mother.
Woods detailed, “Steffy is in disbelief at Finn’s decision to confront Sheila when she tries to flee. Finn says, ‘he’ going to put an end to this once and for all.'” That is when Steffy and Sheila face-off.
So, what do you think about this temporary exit story for Jacqueline MacInnes Wood? Are you rooting for Finn. or Liam, to be the hero or are you Team Sheila? Share your thoughts in the comment section, but first check out the final moments from Friday’s B&B cliffhanger.
Enough of Liam PLEASE
I think a perfect storyline would be that Finn turns out to be just like Sheila. I thought we were getting a hint of it when he couldn’t take responsibility with his connection with Sheila.
Please get rid of Sheila & two-faced Liam. Sick of both of them. Keep Steffy with Finn. Please!!!
I think it would be better find out that Finns mother is lauren from young and the restless and that his father is Lauren’s husband. A fantastic Lawyer
Lauren wasn’t with Michael when she was popping out babies.
Finn should start to show he has some of Sheila character in him . Tanner is a terrible actor they need to give him a storyline.
I give up this whole storyline has been a mess since it began how long ago. Sheila was in jail out of their lives then Bill and Ridge concoct this stupid plot. We all know this was a rewrite on Brads part now Taylor is no where to be seen and Ridge is back on the blame game. Reading about how bad the writing is awfully painful .
Yet here you are commenting and still watching. Its the best soap on tv!
Sick of Luke warm Liam I’m team Steffy & Finn. Finn needs to confront Sheila once & for all & Sheila needs to exit B&B
Story lines are exactly as they should be. Kudos to B&B writers. Curious though, while Steffy is away, what will Finn do (about Sheila)?? Something BIG is going to happen. One thing though…Sheila “whispers” too much…speak up girl, sort of annoying (lol)
I wish The B&B had one hour air time too
Really? Why do you keep trying to put Liam back with Stephie. The storyline is getting ridiculous and who wants to watch the same old thing over and over again keep Stephie with Finn keep Leann with hope you get tired of the bed hopping Samo Samo. If you want to stay number one better make better storylines so many of my friends have said they had giving up watching.
Get rid of Liam and Sheila
They both need metal health treatment
I’m Done ☑️ Liam is a crapshoot, Steffy deserve a real Man that would be Finn. Please get Rid of Sheila already I am sick and tired of being sick and tired I hate your storyline, The Bold & Beautiful is better than this ✌
Your not sick n tired. You keep watching because its an awesome soap. It’s number 1. The show doesn’t revolve around you, or anyone.
I can’t understand why people think it’s “awesome”, or even good. I watch out of habit but find myself fast-forwarding most of B&B lately since it’s so repetitive.
I agree that getting rid of Liam and Sheila would greatly improve the soap.
Rooting for Finn, Liam has become a pain in the ass

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.

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.
