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 .

Steffy and Carter

After taking a second pregnancy test on the Friday, September 12 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) freaks out ever more when it come back positive, too. Leading her to shriek, multiple times over, “Oh my God! Oh my God! I’m pregnant!”

As previously reported, CBS and The Bold and the Beautiful have already confirmed that in the story, the baby Steffy is carrying is Carter’s (Lawrence Saint-Victor) which kicks-off their 40th season of storytelling. However, could there be a twist down the line that it’s really Finn’s (Tanner Novlan)?

On Friday’s episode, Carter gets a text from his wife, Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) telling him she wants to talk more about surrogacy later, since she cannot carry Carter’s child, and the couple was exploring ways for them to have a baby. Suddenly, Carter flashes back to waking up next to Steffy on the couch in the office after they had sex the night before in their drunken stupor.

CARTER DEVISES A PLAN

Then, Steffy comes whirling into the office demanding to talk to Carter right away. Steffy is informing Carter that she has to tell Finn about their night together more than ever! A confused Carter asked her what changed, when they agreed to keep their one night together a secret? Carter tells her if she reveals what happened between them, it will tear about all of their lives.

Carter thinks nothing will come of their “mistake” if they keep their mouth shut. Steffy responds, “You’re wrong.” She goes on to explain that she’s pregnant! That declaration stuns Carter and we fade to black.

However, it was the preview for the action next week on The Bold and the Beautiful, that aired at the end of Friday’s episode and is now all over B&B’s social media that is the real tell-tale sign of where this story is heading.

B&B SPOILERS

In a scene airing next week, Carter says to Steffy, “I have a way out of the situation for all of us!” This comes on the heels of Daphne telling Carter she wishes she knew someone who would be their surrogate. So, putting two and two together, it looks like Carter will come up with the idea to pass Steffy and his baby off as the surrogate child of Carter and Daphne.

Look no further than the official B&B spoilers for episodes airing Monday, September 14- Friday, September 18 and the teaser lines of the Steffy/Carter baby drama to back that up below.

Monday, September 14, Steffy’s news complicates things even more with Carter, while on Tuesday, September 15, 2026  Daphne is hopeful she and Carter will be able to find a surrogate and Carter rushes to stop Steffy. On Wednesday, September 16, Carter makes a passionate plea. and by Thursday, September 17, Daphne can’t believe Carter’s suggestion. Then come Cliffhanger Friday, September 18, Steffy is caught off guard.

So, what do you think how it look to be Carter who originated plan to keep the truth from ever coming out, that he and Steffy had sex, and the best way to do this is for Steffy to be the surrogate for Carter and Daphne’s child? How complicated will the cover-up eventually get? Will Steffy fall in love with the baby making this whole thing untenable for her?

Jason and Britt

On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.

Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.

However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON

Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.

He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.

Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”

General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”

So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Steffy is Shaken to the Core, ‘Oh My God! I’m Pregnant!’

Steffy

On today’s Thursday, September 10 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) discovers she’s pregnant, after taking a home pregnancy test, that will launch a new story arc that will remain front and center for the show in the months ahead.

The life-changing story kicks off the B&B’s 40th season which officially began on September 8. In it, Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) is the biological father of Steffy’s unborn child from their drunken night together when both endured turbulent times in their marriages.

Previously, Carter had trouble with Daphne (Murielle Hilaire), when she initially walked out on him, because she could not carrying his child. Meanwhile, Steffy broke up with Finn (Tanner Novlan) while in Monaco over Finn’s mother Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) showing up, who once tried to kill her.

Courtesy/CBS

Fast-forward, Carter and Steffy made a pact that no one will ever need to know about their drunken night together, but now with Steffy becoming pregnant it changes everything. Making matters all the worse, Daphne views Steffy as her best friend, in fact, Daphne and Carter have been talking about having a child via surrogacy. While Finn had showed the couple how to start the process of finding a surrogate, Daphne felt just choosing a random person to carry Carter’s child is so impersonal. She would rather have it be someone she knows.

It does not take a scientist to predict … that somehow Steffy will carry the baby pretending to be the surrogate, when she its biological mother, and along the way, the questions become, does she keep the whole thing somehow a secret to herself? Doe Carter find out at some point? Stay tuned to see how this story reveals itself.

At its root, this is a major storyline for Wood, who has already won three Daytime Emmy Lead Actress Awards in her 18 years with The Bold and the Beautiful. In that time, her character of Steffy has experienced multiple pregnancies, given birth to two children, Kelly with Liam (Scott Clifton) as the father, and Hayes with Finn as the father, and endured a miscarriage.

So, what did you think of Steffy getting confirmation she is pregnant and looking mortified when she found out? What will she do next? Will she tell Carter? Will Daphne come to Steffy to ask her to be her surrogate, which Steffy may think will be the answers to her prayers, only for the truth to come out later, or falling in love with the baby since its hers to be begin with? Share your thoughts and theories for this major story for Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, via the comment section.
