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

GENERAL HOSPITAL: ‘Sprina’ in New York Part One

Thursday’s episode of General Hospital kicked-off with Trina (Tabyana Ali) and Spencer’s (Nicholas Chavez) adventures in New York City, where finally the fan favorite couple are getting some much needed, and waaaayyyyy overdue, alone time.
In story, Sprina arrive to their hotel room which has, thank God, one bed! Spencer heads out to get some theater tickets, leaving Trina enough time to video call her bff, Josslyn (Eden McCoy), and fill her in on how her first time alone with Spencer is going.
Trina, now in her nightgown, awaits Spencer’s return. When he does, Spencer tells Trina that everything is running on schedule. He won’t divulge what he has planned, but he has a surprise for her. When Spencer asks what Trina wants to see on their trip, she lists all the museums she wants to go to.

After a knock on the door, champagne arrive. Getting flirty and romantic with one another, Spencer calls for a toast to the woman he loves, and Trina toasts to the both of them together.
Spencer realizes he needs to take a quick shower and heads to the bathroom, so they won’t be late for their dinner. Later, we see Spencer in his fine blue suit while Trina is a vision in her fuscia-colored dress.

Overcome, Spencer tells Trina just how beautiful she is, and gifts her with a necklace so she remembers this weekend between them forever. After they kiss again, it’s time for them to head out to dinner. That’s the end of part one of Sprina’s trip to the Big Apple.
So, what did you think about the highly-anticipated Spencer and Trina scenes in New York City thus far? Were you all smiles? Are you looking forward to Friday, where many are hoping it’s the episode in which the lovebirds finally hit the sheets? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

AEW DYNAMITE: Adam Cole Announces Injury Requiring Surgery; The Devil Mask and Assailants Beat Down Jay White

On Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite, viewers learned of the fate and the condition of Adam Cole when he came out to the ring on a pair of crutches along with MJF. Cole, was also wearing a cast on his leg.
On last week’s special episode of AEW Dynamite Grand Slam, Cole was to run-in and leap from the ramp on the stage to ringside to help MJF in his championship match against Samoa Joe, but he landed wrong. The update was not good. Cole broke his ankle in three different places, but also tore ligaments and will require surgery as a result.
This is a tough one, considering Cole previously battled back from a severe head injury suffered during the Forbidden Door PPV in 2002, which took him out of action for nine months.
Once in the ring on last night’s Dynamite, Cole was about to say that because he can’t wrestle at Sunday’s WrestleDream PPV, he and Max are going to have to relinquish the ROH Tag Team titles, since they can’t defend them in their scheduled match.
That’s when MJF cut him off, saying he knew Cole wouldn’t have gotten injured if it wasn’t for him, and didn’t want their title run to end this way. He instead will defend their titles in a handicap match. The segment came to its conclusion when Cole’s ‘friend’ Roderick Strong was wheeled out in a wheelchair, pleading with Adam to help him as he “needed him” now. MJF told Adam to go to his friend and Cole limped out of the ring on crutches.
Next, Jay White came out to the ring to confront MJF. Clearly, AEW is shifting gears for a White vs MJF championship match, if this is currently the end of the line for the MJF and Cole tag team story run, for now.
However, at the end of the episode, the cameras went backstage where four masked men dressed in black beat down White, and then the camera revealed MJF’s devil mask. So, does this mean MJF is behind the attack on White? Is someone else wearing MJF’s devil mask? Did Bullet Club Gold set up the champ? Does Adam Cole have anything to do with this?
Share your theories on the cliffhanger on AEW Dynamite, and let us know what you think of the ankle injury to Adam Cole via the comment section below. But first, check out the tweet from Cole’s girlfriend AEW wrestler Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D on his condition.
This guy broke his ankle in 3 places on a freak accident. He still hobbled around on live tv because as we like to say “the show must go on”. @AdamColePro gives his entire heart and soul to pro wrestling. He’s one tough cookie and this is just a small bump in the road. He’ll be… pic.twitter.com/Aya1JWTTvF

DANCING WITH THE STARS: Charity Lawson, Jason Mraz & Ariana Madix Early Frontrunners After Season 32 Premiere

There was much in question going into Tuesday night’s season premiere of Dancing with the Stars. Would the show postpone it’s opener with the ongoing writers and actors strikes still unresolved. However, when the WGA and AMPTP reached a tentative deal on Sunday to end the strike, things were looking up.
A deal was made (strike is over as of Wednesday) and the ballroom dance competition got a greenlight and began its season as scheduled. In addition, Veep star, Matt Walsh, who was part of the celebrity cast and bowed out till the strikes were resolved, jumped back in and competed on night one. Sadly, he wound up being the first eliminated.
In a season that has renamed the Mirror Ball Trophy, the Len Goodman Mirror Ball Trophy (in honor of the late longtime head judge of the series), and Alfonso Ribeiro calling the season and the intros from the floor, and now Julianne Hough in the skybox, it will be interesting to see how the ratings are for this 32nd trip around the dance floor.

After the smoke cleared from the premiere, three celebrity contestants and their pro partners look like early frontrunners. The question is, can they sustain and improve throughout the season? Here’s who was at the top of the leaderboard after night one of competition.
Charity Lawson and Artem Chigvintsev – Tango – SCORE: 22 out of 30
Dancing to Rihanna’s Only Girl (in the World), the former Bachelorette and cheerleader got raves from the judges. “OK, what week is it? That was incredible. I’m I’m at a loss for words. That was just stunning,” shared judge Carrie Ann Inaba, meanwhile, judge Derek Hough expressed it was, “exquisite and precise.”
Jason Mraz and Daniella Karagach – Cha-Cha – SCORE: 21 out of 30
Performing to the Grammy winner’s own song, I Feel Like Dancing, Jason and Daniella also received glowing reviews as one of the best of the night and the ones to watch through the season. Derek Hough said, “We have a contender!”
Ariana Madix and Pasha Pashkov – Tango – SCORE: 21 out of 30
Vanderpump Rules star, Madix, along with Pashkov, danced a sultry tango to Hailee Steinfeld’s Love Myself. Wearing a dress very similar to the one she wore on the reality-series reunion episode, the dance seemed to be about Madix taking back her power, post-Tom Sandoval scandal.
So, who do you think is the frontrunner for the Len Goodman Mirror Ball Trophy after watching all the contestants dance on the season premiere of DWTS? Anyone of the three mentioned here, or someone else from the competition? Comment below.
