THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Sheila Gaslights Steffy as Jacqueline MacInnes Woods On-Air Maternity Leave to Begin

Courtesy/CBS

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

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny and Jason Trade Threats on Each Other

The love affair that once was mobster Sonny (Maurice Benard) and hit man Jason (Steve Burton), and having each others back, is now apparently over! On the Thursday April 25th episode of General Hospital, an increasingly paranoid Sonny is confronted by Jason.

Jason wants to talk to Sonny about a “family matter”, but Sonny says they aren’t family now because he’s working with the Feds. Sonny goes on to say how he cannot trust Carly (Laura Wright) or Jason and he knows about Jason buying back the Metro Court for Carly from Nina (Cynthia Watros).

When the conversation turns to Josslyn (Eden McCoy) and Dex (Evan Hofer), Jason informs Sonny that Kristina (Kate Mansi) knows Sonny ordered a hit. Jason is worried about Dex’s safety. He tells Sonny that if he does something to Dex, Kristina will figure out that he is responsible.

Sonny goes on to say how much he loves his kids and how he will protect them. He then tears into Jason for abandoning his sons, Danny and Jake, for two years and how he has no right to stand there to tell him what to do.

Jason warns Sonny again to leave Dex alone or he’ll personally stop him. Sonny snaps at Jason, countering, “You’ll die trying!” And at that point, Jason walks out and Sonny slams the door behind him.

What do you think about this split in the longstanding relationship of Jason and Sonny? Do you like Jason and Sonny at odds? Will Kristina be the person to ultimately figure out what is happening to Sonny, or it might it be Nina, who knows Ava (Maura West) is up to no good? Share your thoughts in the comment section, but first watch this clip from part of the Sonny/Jason scenes below.

General Hospital

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Brook Lynn and Chase Have Their Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties

On General Hospital, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) both were treated to Bachelorette and Bachelor parties to shake off any of those pre-wedding jitters. At The Savoy, the ladies have a touching and fun time with Brook Lynn.

The bride-to-be gives a speech to thank everyone for coming, while Lois lets everyone know to try the signature cocktail the “Brooklynn Chaser”, which gets everybody eventually and mostly, drunk.

When Tracy (Jane Elliot) questions Lois (Rena Sofer) as to why there is no music for the party, Lois realizes she forgot, and somehow, who does she call to the rescue? Spinelli (Bradford Anderson)! Saving the day, he winds up playing some tunes and later gets on the dance floor to ‘shake it off’ with the gals.

Lois makes a speech as the mother of the bride, and shares how proud she is of the woman Brook Lynn has become. Wedding games begin, including one of “hot potato” with a wedding bouquet.

When it’s time for the “Silly Poses” section of the party, Spinelli has now morphed from DJ to staff photographer taking memorable photos of the ladies to remember the evening by.

The best part of the event, was when Brook Lynn tries to get her grandmother Tracy out on the dance floor, which, at first, she refuses. After several of the guests bust a move, a tipsy Tracy joins the dance party after Joss mentions that if her grandmother Bobbie was here, she would dance. Tracy says “she agrees” and begins to cut a rug on the floor, much to the delight of the other women.

In the final moments, a tipsy Joss and Kristina (Kate Mansi) have a confrontation about Sonny, and Joss lets Kristina in more on Sonny’s behavior, which looks to have clued in Kristina a bit more as to how something is way off about her dad.

Across town at the Hatchett Bar, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and the men with the exception of Anna (Finola Hughes) and Jordan (Tanisha Harper), all attend Chase’s Bachelor Party where throwing hatchets into a dart board for supremacy is the order of the day. Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Ned (Wally Kurth) get into some words over ELQ, while Dante makes a toast to his police partner, Chase.

Suddenly Dex (Evan Hofer) shows up. Chase thanks Dex for coming, but Dex gets some dirty looks from other cops on the force. Dante gives Chase his present, which is a signed baseball by the Boston Red Sox.

Ned (Wally Kurth) makes a speech that although no one is good enough for his daughter, Brook Lynn, Chase has come closer than anyone has, so welcome to the family. Running in at the end is Blaze (Jacqueline Grace Lopez), who just left Brook Lynn’s party, and she toasts her singing partner, Chase, and to the great man that he is.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Nina Confronts Ava for Sabotaging Her Relationship With Sonny and Signs the Divorce Papers

Looks like Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Ava (Maura West) are back to be each other’s sworn enemy number one. By the end of the Monday, April 22nd episode of General Hospital, the women know where they stand with each other after Nina goes in on Ava accusing her of wanting Sonny (Maurice Benard) all to herself, while her marriage has been on the rocks.

In story, at Nina’s office, Ava shows up to see Nina and says she is sorry about what happened with Sonny and that he reacted the way he did, acknowledging that is was over the top, even for Sonny. Ava says she’ll smooth things over, but Nina says she now understands how manipulative and transparent Ava really is.

Given their horrible history, Nina goes in on Ava and how she should never have trusted her. Nina wants to know how long has Ava had this agenda dating all the way back to telling Nina to turn Carly (Laura Wright) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) into the SEC. Ava says she never told her do to that, but Nina wants to know how long Ava has been playing her for a fool.

Ava says she moved in with Sonny to keep Avery safe and she wants to be on good terms with Avery’s father, Sonny. Nina thinks she likes being in Sonny’s inner circle. Ava tells Nina if she goes to him about her advising Nina to call the SEC on Carly and Drew, it won’t work.  Sonny still considers Nina a traitor and he will think she’s lying because she’s so desperate to win him back. Ava says if Nina would stop blaming everyone else that maybe Sonny would respect her.  Nina says “like he does you?” Ava says Sonny not only respects her, but he also counts on her.

From there, Ava launches into why she and Sonny understand each other, after all, Sonny is a powerful, turbulent, and sometimes violent man. She goes so far to say if Nina wanted someone to just sit by the fire with and play with their grandchildren, she’s got the wrong guy.  Ava then talks about Mike from Nixon Falls (Sonny with amnesia) and how Sonny hid the darkest parts of himself from Nina back then, whereas with Ava they are the same similar creatures, so he doesn’t have to hide anything.

Nina wants to know just what Ava wants with Sonny? What is her end game? Ava responds that they understand each other, in ways she can’t with Sonny. Nina tells Ava she can go ahead and have it all and signs Sonny’s divorce papers. Ava walks out with the documents, while Nina in tears at her desk, takes off her wedding rings and has her assistant come in so she can messenger the rings back to Sonny’s address.

The episode and these scenes featured great performances by Cynthia Watros and Maura West. You can check some of the scenes below.

Now, let us know, what is Ava’s next move? Is she going to become Mrs. Sonny Corinthos? Do you like Ava and Nina as enemies? Comment below.
