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 !!!
General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Ethan is Rocked at News of Delilah; Is Baby Phoebe His Child?
The return story of Ethan Lovett (Nathan Dean began to unpeel itself on all new episodes of General Hospital, when on Tuesday May 5, he is seen on the pier talking on his phone and clearly calling a woman named “Delilah,” and in what seems like concern for her, tells her on voicemail, “you need to show up.”
As viewers know, Delilah (played by Lily Cardone) was the pregnant woman that Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) found on the side of a road and managed to get her to the hospital. Once at GH, Delilah died, but her baby was born. Brook Lynn and Chase then went to efforts to become the little one’s foster parents, since no other family ties for the baby girl have been found.
Their happiness at finally having a child, may be very short-lived. First, Brook Lynn is a key suspect as the other driver that may have caused the accident that burned and put disfiguring lacerations on Jordan’s (Tanisha Harper) face. At that time, Brook Lynn had a bit of wine with Lucy (Lynn Herring), and had rushed out of the Quartermaine mansion to try to get to Gio’s (Giovanni Mazza) performance with Trina (Tabyana Ali) at the reopening of Charlie’s.

Fast forward to now. Ethan turns up at the Quartermaines and runs into Brook Lynn and Chase along with baby Phoebe. Brook Lynn introduces Ethan to her husband and then they explain they are foster parents to Phoebe.
Brook Lynn then tells Ethan, that sadly, Phoebe’s mother had died, and all they knew about her was her name: Delilah Wilson. As soon as Brook Lynn mentions Delilah’s name, it’s clear Ethan is stunned, although he tries not to let on anything to Brook Lynn and Chase. Previously, Brook Lynn told Chase that it was recommended to her that they try to search on their own for Phoebe’s family. Well, is this her dad starring her in the face?
All this begging the questions: What is Ethan’s relationship to the deceased Delilah? Were they working on some kind of con together? Were they in love? Is Ethan the biological baby-daddy to Phoebe, which would really throw a wrench into Brook Lynn and Chase’s dreams of starting their own family? And, will all of this dovetail into Michael’s plan to get Chase and Willow to hit the sheets? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Matt Clark Has Amnesia Setting Story Turning Point for Roger Howarth
The latest soap opera amnesiac is none other than The Young and the Restless supervillain, Matt Clark (Roger Howarth).
As revealed on today’s May 5 episode of the CBS daytime drama series, Matt is suffering from seeming brain trauma after being hit over the head by Sienna (Tamara Braun) during their struggle, after Matt set the explosion at the abandoned gas station outside of Las Vegas to kill the Newmans.
While killing the Newmans failed, now it seems that an isolated Matt can’t figure out who the hell he is. The telling moment came when Matt was shown at a diner in Vegas. He finds a Genoa City Athletic Club keycard in his pocket and asks the waitress if she knew were Genoa City is.

The waitress informs Matt it’s thousands of miles away. Stunned, Matt says to himself, “I gotta figure out what the hell happened to me, and who the hell I am.” The turn now makes sense as a way to keep Matt in the story and Daytime Emmy winner, Roger Howarth still on the show, plus it allows for him to build essentially a whole different life interfacing with other characters.
In fact, when Howarth returned to the soap back on April 1, he teased to Soap Opera Digest some changes were afoot without actually spelling it out. Roger explained, “There’s a shift coming up in the story that’s been a lot of fun. They’ve given me some new people to bounce off of and I really appreciate what Josh Griffith (executive producer and head writer) is doing. I hope the fans like it!”
So, are you ready for what could be a redemption story? A story where the people in Matt’s new life are fond of him and he likes them? A way he can restart his life without all the crimes and misery he has perpetrated on others from his past?
Eventually, Matt will remember he is the evil Matt Clark, and then what happens? Clearly, he would go back after the Newmans, just when they think the guy is dead long enough. After all, Sienna believes she killed Matt.
Share your thoughts on Matt Clark having amnesia on all-new episodes of The Young and the Restless, and if you are here from the story which keeps Roger Howarth on your screens for some time to come. Comment below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Brennan’s Eyes Are Opened About Carly and Valentin, Josslyn Finds Herself Locked Up Like Anna
In a pivotal episode of General Hospital, Monday, May 4 finally blew the lid off of Brennan/Carly/Valentin and showed off Josslyn’s super spy prowess, and Cassius dark side all in one fell swoop!
Here’s what went down: Brennan (Chris McKenna) went ballistic after catching Carly (Laura Wright) after hitting the sheets, only he didn’t know (yet) with whom. The Port Charles WSB Bureau Chief goes in on Carly wanting to know who is it that she is sleeping with. After his angry demand, Carly tells Jack to “turn around.” Thus, revealing Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) as the other man, who is holding a gun pointed straight at Jack.
Initially, Jack thinks Valentin played Carly due to their vendetta, but au contraire! Jack gets an earful about how Carly flew to Steinmauer posing as his attorney. When Jack tried to understand why Carly would betray him in such a way, Carly spelled it out for him.

Coutesy/ABC
Next, Carly let Jack have it for his lies and duplicity about her daughter, Josslyn (Eden McCoy). She knows that Jack recruited Josslyn into the WSB, preying on her grief over Dex’s death to get her to murder Cyrus Renault. Carly adds, you tuned my daughter, “into a lying, murdering spy, like you!” In tears, Carly told Jack that Josslyn will never be the same, because of what he did to her.
SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY AND LIVING TO TELL ABOUT IT
Jack realized, Carly was the one behind getting Valentin’s transfer from Steinmauser. Now on the attack, Jack told Carly she will wind up in prison for aiding and abetting a fugitive. He tells her that Valentin will grab his daughter, Charlotte and disappear, and when that happens he won’t lift a finger to save her, in fact, (he throws in for good measure) that she might get lucky and thrown into a pit with Jason.

Valentin told Jack that if he didn’t help them, he will turn him over to Cullum, who he knows is a double agent and would like nothing better than to make Jack the fall guy for all of his own crimes. Jack apologized to Carly for lying to her, said he still loves her, but that he wonders how long it will be before Valentin betrays her too.
After the scenes aired, Chris McKenna took to X and shared, “And after we finished the last scene I ran over to Laura Wright and hugged her, and then pulled in James Patrick Stuart too. Thrilled to have that material with those legends. Hope you dig it.”

JOSSLYN LANDS IN A SLEEPER HOLD
In addition, Josslyn and Cassius (Ryan Paevey) had literally, a knock down drag out fight. First, after Cassius grabbed her arm as she was set to leave her apartment, he told her he knew she was WSB! Joss suggested that “Nathan” must be traumatized from years of being presumed dead. She grabs a candlestick and the two go at it complete with kicks, shoves, throws and all; leading to Cassius putting Joss in a version of the sleeper hold and making her pass out.
Later, Cassius calls for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), but speaks to Pascal (Marc Forget), that there is an issue that needs to be dealt with. At the end of the episode, Josslyn wakes up in the same room that Anna was driven crazy in which must be somewhere at Wyndemere, Cassius is seen looking through the one-sided window and we fade to black.
So, what did you think of the Carly and Valentin reveal to Brennan? Did Carly come out the victor in her payback to Brennan? Then, who do you think will figure out Josslyn is kidnapped? Will it be Brennan? Will he help her or use it as leverage against Valentin and Carly? Share your theories in the comment section.
