Even though on the Friday, September 20th episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Taylor (Rebecca Budig) tells Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) that she did not come back to Los Angeles to get close to Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), she tells her frenemy that she came back to be close to her family, namely her daughter, and as mother she is sure Brooke can understand that.

Brooke asks, “Does this mean you and I can be friends?” We don’t know how Brooke will feel about that if the fans of the series predictions ring true. Brooke may get cast aside by Ridge so he can help Taylor have her ‘dying’ wish.

Later in the episode, Taylor reveals what everyone suspect that she is dying. She tells Li (Naomi Matsuda), in a private conversation at the cliff house, she is dying of heart failure, a diagnosis she found out while she was away in Europe.

While the revelation came as basically no surprise to viewers who were teased with something was up with Taylor when the show recast the character with All My Children an General Hospital favorite, Rebecca Budig, they are also suspecting that Ridge will want to make her last months on earth a happy one by remarrying her.

Taylor was trending on X on Friday after the reveal came to light and confirmation that the character was dying. Fans also speculated that Ridge and Taylor would be back together, get married, only to find out that Finn (Tanner Novlan) finds the cure and saves her life, meaning Brooke will be the odd-woman out, furthering the on-going triangle that has gone on for decades and with different actresses playing Dr. Hayes.

This week, also featured Ridge and Taylor in a heartfelt scene where they actually talked about the death and missing their daughter, Phoebe Forrester (Mackenzie Mauzy) who died in a car accident back in 2008 and shared their grief.

Omg please with this storyline bring Luna and the cage back I am not vibing at all on this Taylor recast

This is as bad as Ingo Rademacher playing Thorne for a year. Please tell me where MA/Thomas is???

I’m sick of this same ole crap same ole story line every few months. If this happens where they remarry I’m so done with this show. Taylor should have stayed off the show

I agree with you, Richard.

So sick of Taylor and her sanctimonious daughter

I agree. It’s why I stopped watching the show months ago. I see not much has changed in the time I’ve been gone.

We’ve been down this tired road. Are you kidding? This triangle is so yesterday and has flip flopped way too many times to have suspense or genuine meaning. And they aren’t likable characters anymore. If Hunter Tylo returned, then there would be a bit of nostalgia with it. There’s nothing fun about watching 60ish people act like wimpy teens, especially of they are so accomplished.

I agree they should have left Taylor off the show

Please take Taylor back off she is soooooo annoying

Nooooo keep her on we love taylor

We may as well just watch cartoons as these episodes are getting ridiculous. Having we seen this over, over and over.
Give us something worth watching writers!!!!!

Please and thank you

I don’t like the new Taylor, she looks like Steffy’s sister, not mother. Let’s not revisit the
Brooke/Taylor saga. Ridge fawns over Taylor like a love sick puppy and he’s supposed to love Brooke. I’ve been watching the show since the beginning, and this gets ridiculous. Let’s have some story lines that make sense and that are plausible.

agree

I agree with Joyce Marston

I feel the same way.

I Agree!

Well said and am in agreement with all

Yes she is sticking her nose into thing at FC where she has no say saying how great Steffy is at CEO when she’s blackmailing Hope , stay away from Finn or HFTF is over , personal grievances at work ?? She should be fired for this and I hope Brooke acts on it eventually

I love the show right in spite having to look at a Logan on a daily basis. Go ahead and choose to not look at it while Taylo is on there. I promise you I won’t miss any of you. Hahaha

Steffy have the right to warn hope about her husband. She is not blackmailing her. It’s not against the law to tell someone they will be fired if they cross a line. There are moral claws against things like this at work

I’m so over Steffy

I don’t understand Steffy’s indignation about the kiss , when she’s kissed Liam several times ?? What’s good for the goose is good for the gander! Why is that ok ???

Taylor had her fun brook should stay with ridge and have fun with Steph or and hope
Personally I don’t like Steph or she is to fake

I hope she sticks around and they get married again never liked Brooke

I agree

PLEASE DONT bring Taylors story line back. We have seen too many times. RIDGE is so Wishy-washy. He don’t what he wants. I will not watch it anymore Taylor continues on Bold n Beautiful.

I’ve watching this for years, but will cut this off like I cut off Y&R.

I think she is faking because she wants ridge all to herself she don’t want Brooke to have him at all

I totally agree. I don’t trust Taylor. She’s proven she can be a snake.

I will not watch Bold and the Beautiful any more if Ridge and Taylor remarry this has happened to many times we are tried of the old thing happening over and over again. Get a new writer can’t you all think of something else.

I pray they Taylor off the show period. What if she gets cured and leave Brooke all along besides Brooke has been really nice this time to Taylor since she’s been back. Ridge has just not been sp6anytime with Brooke much. He’s being touching and rubbing on Taylor from day 1. She always around him hugging and kisses on someone else’s man like Hope with Finn. My question as a wife or woman period is this right what Taylor is doing ? How would you personally feel? I don’t like it or apologize it.

I do not llke Taylor at all. Ridge and Brooke should get married and set a good example for their children in staying together and working things out. Take Taylor off the show!

Really!!!! Taylor needs to go away, so tired of the 3 ring circus!!!

Hey…here’s an idea: If Taylor is actually dying…OK…whatever. But…if this is just an annoying storyline ploy (or whatever), cut Rebecca Budig loose already and bring in another actress that strongly resembles the character of Taylor. PRONTO!!!!!!!!!!

They haven’t known how to write for Taylor for years now so I bet they do kill her off.
Brad Bell loves KKL and will do anything to keep her front and center no matter how awful she is.

Yea, his crush on her is ruining the soap! Same ole crap, logans logans, its forester creations not logan hoes. Retire brooke already

Ridge will marry Taylor and for her last days and happiest and then she will have a miracle recovery leaving Brooke or Ridges new dumping , but Brooke this time , can’t you tell , when they are saying how their history is !!

I do not like, yet again , the idea of Taylor and Ridge acting like they are married. Brooke should dump him for good and end this on going ridiculous story line.

I haven’t watched in a while due to work and recently picked up again …. it’s like no time had passed, pretty much the same storyline even between Hope, Steffy and Liam the dynamic is the same …. To the point where I can could write it!! (or do better) ✍️

So here is my thought. I believe that yes Taylor and Ridge will marry because she is dying(Brooke will allow it as her and Taylor are now friends). Taylor will be on death bed waiting a heart transplant ( will she make it??? Depends on how receptive fans are to Rebecca’s Taylor) if she makes it it is because Carter died(since he is leaving for a new soap) and Taylor recovers Carter’s heart.
PS to Steffy….Fin did not kiss hope back….but you kissed Liam back twice

So what about finding a guy like him and all those back and shoulder rubs of course she kissed him he lead her on

I hope not she needs to be gone. Anyone that uses her illness to get what she wants is pretty bad. Never liked Taylor or Steffy they are trouble makers and control freaks.

At least they dont use s.x and their bodies to get what they want! They are no better than any of the rest

I really miss the original Taylor, Hunter Tylo. Something should have been done to keep her in. So beautiful and so many years with the soap. An icon. Sad .

Needs the original Hunter Tylo back.

Where’s Hunter ?

I would love to see more of Taylor she should stay on she might be a different star but it happens all the time so let’s keep her and I so wish ridge could find her attractive but if you don’t mind find her someone new that would spin ridge ‘s head that would be fun

I want ridge and taylor to get back together is there time

Take Taylor off, for good. Brooke and Ridge are happy. Bring Thomas back for Hope. Put some excitement in show.

First off don’t care for the recast of Taylor. She doesn’t even resemble her daughter Steffy as the original Taylor did. I think they should just have Ridge he close to her and help her through her diagnosis. Why push Brook aside, confide in her and also let her help. Then Taylor has two people to lean on. It would not surprise me if they find a way to save Taylor in the end, but maybe not……up to the writers.

Luna will get the death penalty, she will donate her heart and it will go to save Taylor. The feud lives on

Brooke and Ridge are still married. So he can’t marry Taylor. Taylor needs to leave the show and go back to General Hospital and be with her show daughter

Welp, I have better things to do with my Time then to watch another Brooke Ridge Taylor triangle especially when we know the end result someone will find a miracle cure for Taylor after her and Ridge are remarried blah blah blah sanctimonious Stephanie, who has kissed Liam how many times will be in La La Land. This story is so predictable and tune back in when somebody decides the nine lives of these three people are enough

Can we find another male besides Ridge For Brooke? one with some chemistry so she can tell Taylor have at it with Ridge And then Taylor will want that person, ridge needs to be left out in the cold for a while since he’s so good at dumping women, Why not bring back the other Marone brother? The funny thing is all these Privileged Kids by Taylor are not real Foresters… Did we forget that?

This is the most disturbing crazy trio ever, and soap opera history. I don’t even know why they Back just to get on everybody’s nerve. The fact that her and her daughter they they are not hoes as a claim. Brooke and Hope are really crazy. They act like they don’t remember when they was messing with these two women’s men in the first place now she’s dying and Ridgeback, a dying wish wow. You need to come up with a new storyline because I am so sick and tired of the Brooke and Taylor saga especially the Stephanie and Hope Stephanie act like she is on site when she was messing with Hope’s husband Hope’s boyfriend you took who in the hell wants to keep going back-and-forth with the same people over and over again stop please bring a new storyline cause this one is going crazy, that’s why I stop looking at this show months ago. Try something new people give these people new people deal with not the same man he can’t be that Great

Please give us a reason to keep watching! I saw the very first episode back in 1987 and the Ridge-Taylor-Brooke situation is getting pretty old! Taylor and Steffy always get their way and Hope and Brooke are always the underdogs. Please change it up so there will be a reason to watch the next episode!!

Where is luna? I would think a trial is in order!

Taylor dying is for the best this bs needs to end.karma for her killing Darla .

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Has Dylan’s Mystery Caller/Stalker Been Revealed to Be an Alive Luna Nozawa?

Published

We have another scream machine on her hands at The Bold and the Beautiful after the dramatic ending of the May 1 episode, and that would be Dylan (Sydney Bullock)!

B&B is finally making some headway on just who was the person behind the mystery call that Dylan received telling her they have some “unfinished business.” At the time of the mysterious call, it was clear that the voice was altered to disguise the true identify of the person on the the other line.

On today’s show, after Dylan and Electra (Laneya Grace) exchange words in the wardrobe room about Dylan wanting to rebuild their trust and friendship and how Electra has issues stemming from way back trusting anyone after what Remy (Christian Weissmanm) did to her by befriending her and then plastering deep fake nude photos of her across social media.

Photo: JPI

The timing of Electra bringing up Remy is also interesting to us, as we had previously reported now that Christian Weissmann is back and on on contract with The Bold and the Beautiful, he’s already teased that Remy has another connection to someone on the canvas, which many are still believing its Dylan.

At the end of the episode, after Electra leaves the room, Dylan hears noises coming from behind the dress rack. She asks, “Jamie” is that with you? After no answer and a bit more hangar and dress ruffling, a figure steps out behind it, while Dylan is looking down at her tablet trying to get back to work.

When Dylan looks up, she lets out a scream that could be heard to Nebraska, as viewers see partial view of what looks to be a woman with long dark hair from the back. Dylan in shock, says, “It’s you!” We fade to black.

So, what’s going on here? Is the reason the caller said to her that we have “unfinished business” because on Monday, it will be revealed to actually be an alive and well, Luna (Lisa Yamada)? Did the two strikes some sort of deal, that allowed Dylan to help Luna escape after Luna supposedly died after Dylan ran her down with her car, which was all off-screen? Another theory, is the mystery caller is Remy and he is doing some sort of Luna fakeout on Dylan for a yet to be revealed reason.

What do you think is going on? Did Lisa Yamada just make an on-screen return to The Bold and the Beautiful? Share your thoughts and theories below, but first check out our recent interview from back in March on the Michael Fairman Channel when Lisa who attended the BBTV app launch party.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Nick Confesses His Drug Problem to Victor; Joshua Morrow, Mark Grossman, Eric Braeden Bring the Newman Bond

Published

When The Young and the Restless can deliver an emotional side to their stories and their family dynamics, it usually makes for some great scenes delivered by their A-list cast.

Such was the case on the Friday, May 1 episode when Adam (Mark Grossman) and Nick (Joshua Morrow) returned to Genoa City and gave their father, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), an update on what had gone down with Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) in Las Vegas.

As Victor questioned, “What the hell happened?” Nick piped up, “We both made mistakes along the way, but we’re here now and we’re sorry for giving you so much worry on top of everything else that you’re dealing with,” which was in reference to Victor trying to reclaim his company Newman Enterprises et al.

NICK’S CONFESSION

Next, Nick, explains one of the ways he messed up while trying to go after Matt Clark, when he admitted to this father with tears in his eyes, “That’s one of the ways I messed up … I took Fentanyl willingly. Some of it was because of Matt, but most of it was on me. I was in a lot of pain, dad, after my accident, I was burning through my prescription meds really quickly after I left the hospital. I could see that it was becoming a problem. But honestly, I thought that I could manage it.  I was wrong. I was out in LA and Matt had taken Noah (Lucas Adams) and Sienna (Tamara Braun) and he gave me this bag of pills and said I could use it to trade for information. When I went out to that drug warehouse, he was trying to convince me and Sharon (Sharon Case) that Noah was a drug addict. I just put the pills in my pocket of my jacket and I came back to Genoa City and I was in a lot of pain, dad, and I was wearing that jacket. I put my hands in the pocket and the pills were there.”

Nick sadly added, “I was desperate. I couldn’t get anymore prescription meds, so I took the fentanyl  I’m deeply ashamed that I was so weak, but all I can do is stand here and tell you the truth that I’m going to make this right and I’ll get better.”

BROTHER TO BROTHER

Adam stood up for his brother and reconfirmed to Victor the plan for help Nick through his pill addiction, “Nick is already on his way to doing that. Sharon has set up an appointment with an outpatient facility. He’s going to do the meetings and he’s going to push through this better than ever.”

Courtesy/CBS

“You should also know that the only reason I’m standing here is because of Adam,” Nick confessed to Victor. “Every time I fell, you were there to pick me up. You risked your life to save me, and that’s not something I will ever forget.”

In the climatic and emotional ending of the scene, Nick in tears admits his shame to his dad, who comes in to give him hug. Nick says, “I’m so sorry. I know that this is the last thing you or this family needs.”

All three actors, Joshua Morrow, Mark Grossman and Eric Braeden, were excellent in this exchange in their scenes, but at its epicenter continues to be the Emmy-worthy performances by Y&R MVP, Joshua Morrow. Nick’s heartbreaking journey and fall from grace with his pill addiction problem has finally shown the clinks in the armor of the man who is always on the ready to help others … now he needs to let others help him through this. Can we do it?

So, what did you think of the scenes between the Newman man featuring Joshua, Mark and Eric on the Friday episode of Y&R? And though who watched also know that at the very end, Matt Clark who clearly has been injured wakes up from being conked out, so there is more revenge to come on the Newman clan. Share your thoughts below, but take a look at these scenes from a Canadian viewers who saw them air yesterday.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Sophia Seemingly Plans to End Her Life, But Not Before Setting Fire to Johnny’s Apartment With Him Trapped Inside

Published

on

By

The final few moments of the Thursday, April 30 episode of Days of our Lives, will pave the way, to what just may be the end of Sophia Choi’s (Rachel Boyd) life, but not as you may think!

After an unhinged Sophia paid a visit to Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), maced him in the eyes, knocked him out and then tied up to a chair, now conscious, she lets him know that she holds him responsible for all the trouble and trauma she has gone through from adopting her child, and her being sent to a mental institution.

So instead of the unregistered gun Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) gave her to finish off Johnny, Sophia sets up a plan to light candle, use nail polish remover and turn on the gas on the stove to ultimately create a mass explosion, which although Johnny pleaded to her not to that to all the innocent people inside his apartment building, she doesn’t seem to care.

FIERY FACE OFF

The plan was supposed to be, after she takes care of Johnny she will toss the gun in the Salem River, then focus on payback to Holly Jonas before leaving town to start a new life.

Now, Sophia makes her exit, leaving Johnny to be a few moments away from an explosion or gas inhalation, when Chanel (Raven Bowens) comes home after awaiting the results of her mammogram. She sees Johnny tied up, as he panics and tells her to put out the flame on the candle, things go awry, and a fire has begun and everything may go up in flames with Johnny and Chanel inside.

A BROKEN SOPHIA

Back in her room, Sophia breaks down after reading the social media comments about her, she planted, and then starts writing a suicide or farewell note which says. “I’m tired of begging for forgiveness for my mistakes. All I wanted was to move forward, to be loved and understood. But it’s clear that I was never going to get that. Holly Jonas said that I was dead to her. So, as her former BFF, I’m going to make her dream a reality.”

A DEADLY TRAP

Now, the fate of Johnny, Chanel and Sophia will be revealed on tomorrow’s May 1st cliffhanger, which may be the end of Sophia when she crosses paths with Kirsten at the bridge near the river. We do know Rachel Boyd is no longer appearing in the show credits section and is now off contract with the soap.

So, what did you think of the climatic final moments of DAYS? What did you think of the performance of Rachel Boyd as Sophia Choi? Let us know via the comment section.
