Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) has a decision to make after both his wife, Brooke Logan Forrester (Katherine Kelly Lang) and his daughter, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) stated their case, albeit in different ways, that they should be the rightful Co-CEO of Forrester Creations.

The whole dilemma comes about after Hope (Annika Noelle) instills in her mother to fight to be the Co-CEO after having it up to here with Steffy. Of course, before that, Hope was considering a move to go work for rival fashion house “Logan.” It seems if Brooke was given the Co-CEO seat and Steffy was deposed, Hope might be able to make headway with her line “Hope for the Future” at Forrester again, after Steffy back-burnered it for now.

Now on the Wednesday, May 13 episode, Steffy is stunned that Ridge is considering replacing her with Brooke. Ridge explains to his daughter the shift would not be a reflection on Steffy, but a way to honor his wife. Brooke thinks the two of them running the business harkens back to the good old days of when Stephanie and Eric ran the company.

PROVING HER WORTH

Steffy’s not having any of this talk, stating, “Don’t you dare pretend that you’re re-creating the magic of what they were, OK?” If Brooke wants to be the matriarch, fine, but not as co-CEO.” Ridge tries to let Steffy down and assures her that one day this will all be hers.

While Steffy admits that Brooke is a major icon of the company, she is the one that has relationships with buyers, designers, social influencers, etc., and it’s because of her that Forrester is on the cutting edge. Ridge recognizes this and is so proud of his daughter, and how she has kept the company relevant. However, Steffy cannot believe after all she has done that he is even considering Brooke’s request. She says if he wants to give Brooke a title, fine. “Give her any other title, but not mine.”

Meanwhile, Brooke and Hope are thinking of what it will be like once Brooke is in the Co-CEO position. Brooke assures her daughter that Ridge will come through for her. Hope has doubts where Steffy is concerned and how she can’t see her going down without fight. Brooke believes the transition will happen today.

BROOKE ALWAYS COMES FIRST

Back at Forrester, Steffy doesn’t like that Brooke put her father in this impossible situation. The conversation takes a turn and Steffy talks about the repetitive theme in her life, and that is how Brooke was always chosen above his other family with Taylor. Steffy admits that she knows Ridge loves her, but he must love Brooke more.

Standing up to Brooke, Steffy tells Ridge, “You need to stop listening to her, Dad. Choose your daughter over your wife. For once.” Steffy asks her father to show her some respect, not only because she is his daughter, but as his Co-CEO. Her final plead ends with, “Don’t let me down again.” We fade to black.

So, what do you think will happen? Will Ridge keep Steffy as his Co-CEO? If he does, will it send Hope and Brooke to work at Logan, or do you think Brooke becomes Co-CEO and Steffy hightails it out of Forrester? Share your thoughts on Ridge’s upcoming pick via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Cullum’s Got Plans to Keep Brennan Out of His Way

On General Hospital, the Wednesday, May 13 episode saw Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) plotting to keep Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) from ever being a problem for him again, as Lucas (Van Hansis) reveals his hopes for a plan to rid the world of Cullum and his co-conspirator, Sidwell (Carlo Rota) in one fell swoop.

At the hospital, Nina (Cynthia Watros) is still freaked out by what she did by jabbing Jack with the dose of medication meant for Drew (Cameron Mathison). Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) comes to the hospital to try to get her mother to get a grip and then heads out to do damage control.

Cullum arrives and questions Nina about Jack’s medical condition. Nina lies and tells Cullum he should talk to Dr. Lucas Jones about Jack. In a tense exchange, Cullum shows Lucas he has documents that make him Brennan’s medical proxy and wants an update on his condition. Britt stumbles upon the scene and comes up with a fake emergency in another patients room to pull Lucas away from the WSB director.

STARING MY BOYFRIEND’S KILLER IN THE FACE

Now alone in the hallway, Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) warned Lucas that if he acts like that around Cullum, he will get suspicious. Lucas says they should just tell Sidwell that Cullum stabbed Marco, so Cullum will be killed and Sidwell would be sent to prison. Lucas drops the idea realizing if Cullum dies Britt cannot get her hands on her Huntington’s disease medication. However, Lucas warned Britt how everything would explode once Sidwell found out that Cullum killed Marco, so they have to be certain that they have the evidence that Cullum’s the culprit.

Inside Jack’s room, Cullum tells an unconscious Jack that his stroke may have saved his life, because he planned to kill him. Meanwhile, Willow arrived at Wyndemere to see Sidwell. She explains that Jack accidentally got the dose of Drew’s medication and kept her mother’s name out of it. Sidwell is livid.

TWO MEN HAD “STROKES” AT MY HOUSE!

Willow thinks it’s time to stop drugging Drew so that people would be focusing on his recovery, rather than the odds that two different men had “strokes’ at Drew’s house. Willow threw the responsibility back on Sidwell telling him that he needed to figure out a way to make sure Drew didn’t expose them. Next, Sidwell reminded Willow that he gives the orders around here and not her. For good measure, he threatens that if they were exposed, she would have the most to lose.

At the end of the episode, and at Wyndemere, Sidwell informed Cullum that Brennan had been dosed with Drew’s medication. When Sidwell declared that things would go from bad to worse when Brennan wakes up and out of his locked-in state, then Cullum fired back, “Then he can’t come out of it.”

Meanwhile, Willow unexpectedly shows up at Michael’s (Rory Gibson) office while Jacinda (Paige Herschell) is there.  She demands to talk to her ex-husband now, as the photo of Chase (Josh Swickard) and Willow looking close snapped by the private eye is sitting on Michael’s desk.

So, do you think Sidwell should be the one to kill Cullum and then be carted off to prison … 0r, would you like to see Willow get caught for murdering someone since she got away with shooting Drew? Share your thoughts via the comment section. But first, check out the threatening exchange between Willow and Sidwell from today’s GH.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Rocco is Coming Apart at the Seams

Published

On the Tuesday, May 12 episode of General Hospital, Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) was at its epicenter and the secret which is destroying him. Previously, Rocco shot WSB Director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) in the back to stop him from killing Jason (Steve Burton) and to save Britt (Kelly Thiebaud). 

However, the consequences of Rocco’s actions are weighing so heavy on him, that now he is starting to crack, and with good reason! While Rocco has been suffering in silence, he is wracked with guilt over Jason taking the fall for him, being carted away by the WSB, and worse yet, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) losing his father.

While Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) confronts “Nathan” (Ryan Paevey) about how he covered-up and “advised” Lulu (Alexa Havins) to stay quiet about the night on the pier which saw Rocco shoot Cullum, Dante can clearly see that the man in front of him seems off. His responses and demands and insights are not those of the good-natured “Nathan.” Will Dante be the one, or the last to know that “Nathan” is really Cassius Faison?

STAY AWAY FROM MY SON

In yet another confrontation, Lulu and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) go at it over Rocco. Lulu blames Britt for Rocco being on the pier at all that night, because Rocco cares about Britt, and she warned her not to get close to Rocco, but Britt did anyway.

Then, at the Quartermaine boathouse, Rocco was shocked to learn that Danny overheard Sonny saying that Jenz Sidwell was responsible for Jason getting taken away, and confided in Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) the intel several weeks ago. Rocco tried to cover his guilt as Danny and Charlotte explained they hadn’t confided in him because he has been so withdrawn lately.

ROCCO AND DANNY AT ODDS

Next, Danny asks Rocco to help him and Charlotte break into Wyndemere. Danny is determined to get info on Sidwell to try to find Jason. It’s at that point Rocco loses it. He shouts that Sidwell is a dangerous man and Danny needs to stay away from him.

In the most surprising turn of event, Rocco threatened both Charlotte and Danny that if they tried to sneak into Wyndemere he would turn them in.

Danny loses his cool and firmly tells Rocco, that unlike him, he didn’t have parents to clean up his problems for him and told Rocco to stay out of his way. As Rocco walked away, he asks Charlotte if she was coming with him. When she refuses, he tells the both to screw off.

THE ONLY PERSON I CAN TALK TO

Later, Britt returns to her room at Bobbie’s and finds Rocco waiting for her. He begins to share with her how freaked out he has been feeling over shooting Cullum. Britt hugs him and attempts to comfort Rocco letting him know he is a hero for saving her life and Jason’s. Britt tells Rocco she can talk to her anytime, as the two hug one more time. We fade to black.

Finn Carr delivered another excellent performance within his storyline. It’s clear GH made the right call by giving this young actor the ball with such a high stakes dramatic and emotional storyline to play.

So, do you think Danny will find out what Rocco did and come after him for letting his dad take the fall for shooting Cullum? Do you think Rocco will continue to turn to Britt, further upsetting Lulu? Will Dante get a clue about Cassius? Share your thoughts in the comment section. But first, in case you missed it, check out the emotional moments between Rocco and Britt on yesterday’s GH below.
