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

On the Thursday, November 12 episode of General Hospital, as battles line are drawn by Carly’s (Laura Wright) ex-husband, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and her daughter, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy), she realizes things are about to get a whole lot worse, and she expressed her fears to Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart).

After Sonny came to see Carly to get her daughter to back off of him; especially when Josslyn lit into him in front of nuAvery (Ayla Bullington), Carly is terrified that Sonny could retaliate against Josslyn. Realizing, Josslyn is in danger, Carly won’t sit by and let anything happen to her. She tells Valentin, “I’ve already lost one kid because of that man. I won’t lose another.”

Viewers won’t soon forget the devastation Carly felt when Morgan (Bryan Craig) died in a car bomb explosion back in 2016 because of Sonny’s dealings in the mob in a complex story involving Julian (William deVry) and Olivia Jerome (Tonja Walker).

SONNY IS READY FOR WAR

Meanwhile in the aftermath of his visit with Carly, Sonny told his brother Ric what went down when Josslyn disrespected him in front of his own daughter and hurt Avery. Since Josslyn already make it known that she no longer considers herself part of Sonny’s family, he’s decided to treat her accordingly.

Sonnys first step in payback is to take away her support system at JJE by approaching Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel) again, but this time in a much less-friendly way.

Ric points out that this would go against every move Sonny made as a legitimate businessman in Port Charles and would mean he’s back in the mob? Sonny doubles down, saying Josslyn changed the game when she involved Avery. While he showed concern of how bad Carly would feel over all this year, he said he is ready to finish what Josslyn started.

At the Metro Court, Ava (Maura West) is listening to Avery explain what happened between Sonny and Josslyn and how much she hates Josslyn right now, which Ava seems to be OK with.

WILL JOSSLYN’S WORLD BLOW UP ON HER?

Speaking of Josslyn, she is on the pier still after her talk with Hudson and still crying over her confrontation with Sonny and Avery overhearing it, and what she told her sister. Lucas comes across her at the pier while out for his run.

Explaining how badly she feels for what she said about Sonny to Avery, Lucas says that eventually Avery will discover the truth about Sonny. He explains to Josslyn that even though Avery hates her now, she will come to realize that what she said about her father was the truth, and that Josslyn was not lying to her at all.

So, what do you think about Sonny ready to play dirty to take down Josslyn? How will Carly ensure her daughter does not wind up dead? Who do you think is in the right here? Is Josslyn’s vendetta against Sonny justified, at the cost of the relationships with her family? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.

Bill and Katie

The future isn’t looking so bright for longtime loves Katie Logan (Heather Tom) and Bill Spencer (Don Diamont), when on the Wednesday, November 11 episode Katie wants Bill to leave and give her some space, and to stay away from her!

Katie explains she wanted none of this, but now her insecurity and fear of Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Bill has made it impossible. Bill pleads his case, “I was just trying to help” by speaking with Brooke. Katie tells him, well he didn’t, far from it, it’s all backfired in his face.

Bill insists to Katie that everything he did was for her and her sisters. Katie isn’t buying it. In her mind, Bill has always wanted to stick it to the Forresters. So what changed? She then asks him point blank, if he is still attracted to Brooke? Bill says “no,” but Katie said she wishes she could believe him. He tries to explain that him getting together with Brooke was to broker peace between the Logan sisters.

THE TRUST IS BROKEN

Katie speaks to how she is building her own company, making something of herself, and Bill says to her, “You don’t have to lose the people that you love to prove that you can win.”

Next, Katie is convinced Bill was flirting with Brooke because he texted Brooke a Stallion emoji (she has a point, no?). That reminded Katie of the worst time in her life when he was having an affair with her sister!

She points out how Brooke destroyed her life and took Will away from her and he was sent to boarding school, so why shouldn’t she strike back? Bill tries to point out again, that Katie is going to lose her sisters. But, a defiant Katie fires back, “If they can’t accept me for who I am … so be it!”

Next, Bill says he doesn’t buy it and becomes very emotional calling his wife, “my Katie”.  However, now in a puddle of tears, Katie says those words can’t fix everything. Seeing he is not getting anywhere, Bill walks towards the door and says, “I will hate being apart from you, but I’ll do it for you.”

He vows to never stop fighting for them. Katie’s says, “Goodbye, Bill.”  The music swells, Bill exits, and Katie crawls into a ball on the couch in a dramatic overhead shot to end the episode.

WEDDING BELLS?

In the same episode, it should be noted that Taylor (Rebecca Budig) asked Deacon (Sean Kanan) to re-propose to her, and this time she accepted.

It looks like Taylor or Deacon are headed down the aisle at some point, but not so fast, because Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) was flirting with Deacon, and she won’t take this news lying down.

Check out the emotional scenes featuring Heather Tom and Don Diamont below.

Now weigh-in: were you touched by the moments when Bill left his house to give Katie the space she says she needed over her feelings of betrayal by her husband and her sister, Brooke? How does this all end? Will Katie end up destroying everything in the process on her way to the top? Will she have a mental or physical crisis in days to come?

DANCING WITH THE STARS: A Shocking Elimination on Grammy Night Leaves Ballroom Silenced

Published

In what could only be the stunner of this season of Dancing with the Stars, the Tuesday night, November 1o episode saw one of the heavy favorites Jenna Dewan and pro partner Val Chmerkovskiy eliminated right before next week’s all-important semi-finals for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.

Week 9 was Grammy night, where the contestants performed routines related to the Grammy Awards with songs that have either won or been nominated for the music industry’s highest prize.

After each couple performed their usual routine, they had to dance a second time vs, another couple doing the same dance style. Only Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson earned immunity from having to participate in it.

THE RESULTS

When all was said and done during the results portion of the show; the following couples were deemed safe and will dance another day: Shum Jr. and Johnson, Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov, Ezra Frech and Daniella Karagach, Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas, and Connor Wood and Rylee Arnold.

That left former Y&R actress Tatyana Ali (ex-Roxanne) and Jan Ravnik and Dewan and Chmerkovskiy in the bottom two. It was then revealed that Jenna and Val would be going home. The ballroom fell silent and Dewan said her “thank you’s “in the most gracious way about her dance journey.

Dewan is a dancer, having worked professionally with the likes of Janet Jackson (who also popped up in a special message to her former back-up dancer in the episode) while currently being an actress, and appearing as a series regular on The Rookie. Chmerkovskiy has been controversial figure all season especially after being suspended one week after comments made towards judge Carrie Ann Inaba.

BREAKING THEIR SILENCE

This begs the question: did America want the couple gone, because they had an unfair advantage with Dewan’s dance prowess, or did the show want the couple booted off too?

Later, Jenna and Val broke their silence on the elimination to Extra. Chmerkovskiy shared “It’s’ definitely a sad result. I thought we had a great season.” Dewan admitted, “I know this was a particularly tough week for a lot of the online noise … but I know that we went out there and had the best time of our life.”

Val is married to pro dancer, Jenna Johnson, who remained in the top slot on the leaderboard during the competition with Harry Shum Jr. However, she also had a bad week breaking her nose in rehearsal!

Dancing With the Stars airs on ABC and Disney+ Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET and next day on Hulu.

So were you happy, or sad to see Jenna and Val voted off of Dancing with the Stars? Of the remaining couples who do you hope make it from the semi-finals to the finals and hoists the Mirrorball Trophy? Weigh-in via the comment section.
