THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: A Defiant Taylor Stands Up to Ridge After He Calls Off Their Engagement: “I’m Not Just Some Life Raft From Your Shipwrecks with Brooke”
Taylor (Rebecca Budig) is once again on the losing end of the stick, or is she? On Monday’s September 8 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) calls off his engagement to her (she had proposed to him). Clearly, he is intent on going back to Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) for the umpteenth time.
At the same time, Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) is once again unrelenting in telling Brooke (while at Forrester Creations), that she needs to accept that his mother and father are getting married and to stay out of it. She tries to tell him about the importance of the kiss they shared in Italy when Ridge saved her from drowning and what it meant for them. Thomas doesn’t care and continues to sternly tell her to get out of his parents’ way once and for all.
Meanwhile, Taylor is completely heartbroken and in tears as Ridge breaks things off with her. However, starting to lose her composure, she becomes frantic, and upset and is trying to convince Ridge to rethink things.

The professional therapist through her tears says, “Brooke will do the same things she always does. She will betray you, she will hurt you, she will disappoint you. She won’t mean to, of course. that’s what she will say to you and to herself. It’s how you feel about her that scares me. You can’t see how toxic she is.”

Taylor continues, “I’m not going to stand here and watch her ruin your life again. I’m not just some life raft from your shipwrecks with Brooke. You accepted my proposal for a reason, because we are parents. We’re friends, we’re lovers. You are an extraordinary man, Ridge. But you have let Brooke lead you astray too many times, and not anymore. This is our time, this is yours and mine time, and Thomas ad Steffy. I’m not going to let you leave us again. Not for Brooke!”

Ridge just looks at her with a tear or two on his face, as she stands her ground, not accepting his decision, and we fade to black.
So, what do you think will happen here? Will Taylor’s speech convince Ridge to stay? Will he walk away from her and head back to Brooke, and will Taylor and Thomas team up both filled with revenge and angst on their mine to keep Ridge and Brooke apart? Share your theories via the comment section below.
Taylor is desperate.
Pathetic she definitely is
I’m so sick of Taylor and her pathetic kids,they are far from perfect and plays many dishonest games,PLEASE get rid of those 3
What about Brooke?? She not perfect! I’m sick of them!
But Brooke will own it and take accountability, Taylor doesn’t. She was going to withhold what she knew about Thomas calling child services on himself until after the wedding until Steffy came forth with the truth. She withheld sleeping with James Warrick until her conscience got the best of her. She’s sneaky wit hers whereas Brooke is straightforward. No. Brooke is not a saint but she has been set up to take the fall from th e Forresters many times. All of those characters are greatly flawed.
No honey you’re a derailed train ! Have some respect for yourself and move on and get Thomas some major therapy
Disappointed that they brought Thomas back for this he is unstable but the one person to blame in all of this is Ridge he is not a good man . RB should have been cast as Felicia Forrester just can’t picture her as Taylor as for Steffy and Thomas plus the Logan sisters and pathetic Eric they need to all mind their own business .
So sick of Ridge bring in another man to rival flip flop Ridge
Taylor needs a shrink!
Taylor is always on the losing side where Brooke is concerned, Ridge always goes back to Brooke. Steffy and Thomas should team up and vote/through Ridge out of Forrester Creations, Eric needs to mind his own business, he never really liked Taylor for Ridge from way back since Steffy and Thomas were children.
Screw Taylor and all those messed up noisy brats. Thomas needs to take his ass back to where he came from. Steffy is married to no Balls Finn.
Go away Taylor
I hope Taylor wins out. She isn’t the pathetic one here Brooke is. She can take her squinty eyes and whispery voice and go far far away.Seriously wish she would either move on with some else or leave the show. If they put Ridge and Brooke together again,i am done watching the show.
I would say Brooke and Ridge are the end game Taylor needs to move on .You may be done with the show ! The writing is obvious that they are for Brooke and Ridge not Taylor and Ridge
True your the only 1 saying right poor Taylor Brooke is a disgrace I hope for once he does stay with Taylor and ruin LOGAN she so confident I won’t lie it’s hard getting use to this Taylor she dresses different the Taylor that left was a glam
Please let Taylor go and once and for all, please let the dead stay dead. That boat has sailed way too many times. Get a new writer and and move on!!
I an done with this show. The Logans all think they are so special. Eric is disgusting and Ridge has never been a man with a backbone. If Brooke was so special, why can’t she keep a man longer than 20 minutes, without help from EVERYONE? I am sick that the SMUG Logan’s always win and tired of the show making Taylor a welcomed mat
Who still watches this crap. I quit watching 15 years ago when it hit me just how bad this show is. This triangle has been going on since their characters were in their 20’s. Now they are in their sixties and doing the same thing. What a terrible depiction of women! Still unfullfilled and fighting over the same stupid guy. Can’t believe how these actors are still willing to play this junk. Brad bell is really a godawful writer. Thankfully I no longer have to sit through this!!
Broken Brooke begs to much so tired of her getting what she wants. Storyline sucks keep pushing Ridge to Brooke together. Brooke begs like a slut from the valley a typical mistress. So tired of the same scenes with her and Ridge toxic family dynamics kids don’t get a long sad. I guess people really don’t like change
Now this is a story because Thomas is going to go after Logan.
Thomas is only there temporarily cause he will torture Logan Now!
Warned Logan
Luna isn’t so cute.. Luna will either die or end up back in JAIL!
Poor Will
Sorry, no chemistry bryween Deacon and Taylor. Bring Jack back !!!

‘The Bold and the Beautiful’s’ Heather Tom Delivers the ‘Power Performance of the Week’

Six-time Daytime Emmy winner, Heather Tom, while not taking the gold at the recent Daytime Emmys for Lead Actress, which would have been a record-breaking victory for an actress; should be prepared that in 2027, she has to be near to a lock take that award home!
In the last few months Michael Fairman TV has named her weekly performances as Power Performance of the Week, and for the week of November 2-6, she has done it again!
How did she earn the honors? Well, quite simply, this version of Katie Logan that is being written and portrayed beautifully, has given the character infused live, a backbone, a woman so tired of being put-upon and wronged, that she is firing back in such major ways that her own family doesn’t recognize her behavior.

KATIE AND BROOKE HAVE A SEISMIC SHOWDOWN
Longtime viewers of The Bold and the Beautiful can make a very compelling case that the behavior is justified. Then, on the November 4 episode, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Katie have another major confrontation. Katie is irate that Brooke phoned Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) in an effort to help Bill get through to her to back off the way she is destroying Forrester Creations, in what appears to be Katie’s poaching of the design team, and her ramped up vendetta against Brooke.
However, let’s not forget, Brooke and their sister, Donna (Jennifer Gareis) disowned Katie from the family just a few months ago too! Now in this showdown, Katie rips into Brooke after Brooke attempts to reason with her. Brooke even pulls out the “Stormy” card, reminding viewers that Katie has Storm’s heart. She snipes, “Do you really think he’d be proud of you right now?”
In that moment, Katie chokes up and is struck by that statement, but defends her actions and says Storm would be proud of her. Brooke goes in on if Storm would approve of the way she has gone about building her Logan fashion house design team, which to many seem like cutthroat tactics, Brooke even tells her “Bill is worried.”
Katie snaps after that comment and begins to show her disgust and emotional wounds from how Brooke slept with Bill years ago, especially when she goes in on the the text message Brooke sent to Bill and the use of a stallion emoji. Brooke claims it meant nothing, but Katie shuts her down and shuts her up! Reminding her sister, how she destroyed everything.

KATIE NEVER FORGOT HOW BROOKE SLEPT WITH BILL
Brooke reminds Katie that she had postpartum depression at the time, and she “pushed” her and Bill together. Katie begins to cry, “How could you not know something was profoundly wrong?”
Katie says while she was suffering, Brooke was off in Aspen having sex with Bill. She says of her sister, “You take what you want, and it doesn’t matter who gets hurt and whose life gets destroyed.” She then snipes what was her sister’s excuse the second time?
Then, in the masterful moment in the performance, as sister Donna walks into the showdown, Katie warns Brooke to not EVER talk to her again about morality, or ever accuse her of stealing anything from her, when “You are the master!”
BROOKE’S PAST WILL ALWAYS BE THROWN IN HER FACE
Next, Katie throws down the line Stephanie Forrester called Brooke all the years of their feud, “You are just a slut from the valley.” She punctuated it to both her sister, “We all know she’d sell her soul for a little male attention.'”
Katie tells Brooke she will never apologize to Bill, adding, “And I will never forgive you for this. I am so done with you, and if you’re going to stand next to her (aimed at Donna), then I am done with you too.” As the scene came to its conclusion, Katie told Brooke and Katie to, “stay away from me, stay away from my family, and stay away from Bill.”
Throughout all the scenes, Heather Tom displayed why she is one of the fiercest actresses in daytime drama. This storyline has afforded Tom the opportunity to show all of Katie’s inner rage built over years as she finally lets it out on those who wronged her. For anyone who has been made to feel the weaker sibling in a family, Tom is showing the cause and effect of what can happen to someone after years of feeling put down.
For all the reasons stated above, Michael Fairman TV names Heather Tom our selection for Power Performance of the Week. You can check out part of Heather’s emotional turn in the video clip below.
Now let us know, do you agree with our pick of Heather Tom for the Power Performance of the Week? What do you think about how Katie is being written in this storyline? Do you think Heather has secured the Lead Actress Emmy in 2027? Weigh-in via the comment section.

WWE Crown Jewel 2026: Top 4 Takeaways

Coming into this weekend’s WWE Crown Jewel from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, many feared it was dangerous move given the unrest inside the country and the recent bombings at the airport. The concern and welfare for the WWE superstars and those behind the scenes that did travel to the Middle East was of utmost concerns to longtime fans.
Luckily, the WWE put on their latest PLE on Saturday, November 7 and got out of the country in time, before a missile strike hit on Sunday, November 8.
Crown Jewel 2026 featured a showstopping main event between Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn, the long-awaited punt kick by Cody Rhodes to the head of Randy Orton, a Money in the Bank cash-in, and new Men’s Tag Team champs.
Let’s take a look at what went down and give you our top 4 takeaways on the four match card that was streamed on ESPN Unlimited.

A TRUE UCE
In Riyadh, Sami Zayn was the hometown favorite even though he is the heel. Zayn is of Syrian-decent, and he delivered probably his best in-ring performance of his career facing the Tribal Chief, the OTC, Roman Reigns, with many in the attendance also lifting their ones to the sky.
The Crown Jewel matches as is tradition feature champion vs. champion of Raw and Smackdown. While no title is on the line, the Crown Jewel winners receive a magnificent belt and a ring.
It should be mentioned, once again, that there is no one better right in the ring right now, who can deliver their character and tell a story better than Roman Reigns. Everything he does in the moment moves the in-ring story forward.
At Crown Jewel, it took everything the Tribal Chief had to defeat the WWE champion Sami Zayn, who just refused to go down until Reigns finally hit yet one more spear. Throughout the match, Zayn even copied the OTC’s signature moves, Superman Punch and all!
In the end, and after all the back and forth, Reigns was able to secure the pin. But, it was the aftermath that had everyone talking. Zayn refused to leave the ring before getting an acknowledgement from the OTC. He demanded a handshake. But to everyone’s surprise, Reigns did him one better and gave Sami a hug.
The pièce de résistance came when Reigns called Zayn a true “Uce.” This harkened back to the original Bloodline storyline when Sami was called an “Honorary Uce” because he was not a real brother or cousin. With this decision by Reigns, could that mean that Zayn might be called upon to help the Bloodline fight the 946 at War Games? More to come.

CODY PUNTS, BUT IN THE END DOES IT MATTER?
As they say in the song “Cell Block Tango” from the musical Chicago, “He had it coming!” Randy Orton finally got the highly-awaited punk kick to the head in the Last Man Standing Match with Cody Rhodes, which served as the end of the trilogy to their botched feud.
In what can only be deemed as a lackluster opening bout between these two megastars, it felt slow and plodding. The crowd in Riyadh was firmly behind Orton, while they often booed Rhodes. The question was, how far would Rhodes go in the match? Would he completely snap and turn heel?
After failed ten counts to win inside and outside the ring and the arena floor by both men, Rhodes countered an attempted RKO into two back-to-back Cross Rhodes. The second nicked Orton’s head on the steel steps that Rhodes brought in earlier. Orton was bleeding. Next, Cody make referee Charles Robinson stop the count, so he could set up the punt to the head, this time with no hesitation.
Cody struck Orton and knocked out The Viper to end the match. The most interesting moment occurred as Cody walked from the ring up the ramp and the cameras showed a well-played moment by Rhodes. In it, he played the conflict of the realization of what he just stooped to, but how he sort of liked it. Many are hoping a heel turn is just a moment away, but is it?
However in the post show, Rhodes said that this feud with Randy took all the joy he once had for pro wrestling, and because of it he wants to do something light and fun. So, he asked Rey Mysterio to led him lead Team USA against Team Mexico at Survivor Series. The answer should come this week. A disappointing match and confusion to where Cody and Randy go next reign supreme!

TIFFY TIME UNWANTED
This went down as we had predicted on our What’s Up? Wrestling Crown Jewel Prediction Show. Chelsea Green just can’t catch a break for too long and now she is betrayed by her “bestie” with a Money in the Bank briefcase to the head after getting one up on Liv Morgan.
Throughout the Morgan vs. Green Women’s champion vs. champion match-up, Liv continued to berate and talk down to Green. At one point during the match, Liv’s Judgment Day stablemates Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez showed up at ringside, and Morgan told them to shoo! She said she can handle Chelsea all by herself, but that proved costly. Green was able to roll up Morgan for the victory.
Triple H enters the ring and gives Green the Crown Jewel belt and ring. Next, Chelsea addressed the crowd expressing, “Thirteen years I was overlooked, and we did it, baby.”
Suddenly, Liv Morgan attacks her. Even more suddenly, Tiffany Stratton’s music hits and she comes out making it look like she is going to cash in on Morgan. The Judgment Day gals save Liv, but then Tiffany hits her friend Chelsea in the head with the briefcase. She tells the ref that she is cashing in on Chelsea Green.
Tiffany does her patented moonsault finisher and that’s all she wrote. Tiffany is the new WWE Women’s champion and for good measure she takes Green’s just won Crown Jewel belt and ring and reveals it’s “Tiffy Time.” The problem with this finish is you could see it coming a mile away.

LOST THE VISION
Current beloved babyfaces, Je’Von Evans and Penta added tag team titles to their waists after defeating Vision members: Bron Breakker and Austin Theory.
The match had plenty of interference, in particular from The Vision’s Bronson Reed who wound up getting payback from Oba Femi when he showed up to take him out leveling the playing field.
In the end, Penta delivered a Mexican Destroyer while Evans finished the match with an OG Cutter. Now, Evans won his first title in more than 1,0000 days. The final shot at the ring ramp of Femi raising the arms of Evans and Penta in victory showcased the future of the WWE.
With this lost, it stands to reason, Bron Breakker has to “break” away from the Vision and go off on his own. He’s too good and can be utilized back in the singles title pictures. This faction has been plagued with injuries since day one. It’s time to let the likes of Logan Paul (when he is set to return from injury) and Breakker go back to being on the upper card.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Elizabeth Thinks of Dante While With Ric; Will She Leave Her Ex in the Dust?

Clearly, head nurse Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) is trying to deny her feelings for Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) on General Hospital, when she is trying to make up for missed opportunities and dates with her former husband, Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst).
On the Friday, November 6 episode, Elizabeth arrived at the Metro Court for her date with Ric. She made sure she thanked the legal eagle for taking care of her house on Halloween when she was called into work.
However, while telling Ric this, Elizabeth is struck by a flashback of her and Dante baking in her kitchen, where a very close encounter almost led Dante and Elizabeth to kiss. After shaking that image off in her head, she goes back to her date with Ric, who is being very sweet to her.

ELIZABETH HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS ABOUT RIC
Their date gets interrupted when Lulu (Alexa Havins) shows up at their table asking Elizabeth to convince Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) to drop the libel case against her.
Later, when Liz talked with Willow, and Willow shared she appreciated the head nurse looking out for her, she asks her friend if Ric is the kind of man she wants her life?
Willow is pointing out, as she had in her relationship with Drew (Cameron Mathison), does Ric really love Elizabeth … or is he using her to get what he wants? That comment puts more doubt in Elizabeth’s mind over reconnecting with Ric, and giving her more credence to follow her feelings for Dante.
So, where is this leading? Will Elizabeth cut things off with Ric? If so, will he snap? Is Ric using Elizabeth? And what about Dante? Are you enjoying the growing closeness between Elizabeth and Dante, or do you prefer Elizabeth with Ric? Let us know in the comment section, But first, check what went down on Ric and Elizabeth’s dinner date which lead to more questions than answers below.
