THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Zende Quits Forrester Creations in Another Standout Performance by Delon de Metz

In an about face on the Tuesday, October 13 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, after Zende (Delon de Metz) agreed to stay at Forrester, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Eric (John McCook) came down hard on Dylan (Sydney Bullock) telling her she’s fired for trying to help Katie (Heather Tom) poach Zende (Delon de Metz) from the fashion house.
Zende steps up and comes to Dylan’s defense, and reminds Eric that he said he could have what he wants, and Zende tells him grandfather, “Dylan stays!” While this is playing out, over at Logan, Katie and company are mulling over Zende turning down their offer to join the company.
Back at the Forrester CEO office, Zende defiantly says Dylan is important to him, and she needs to stay and work here. However, R.J. (Brayan Nicoletti) chimes in that she should be fired. Then, Zende asks Eric just who is making the decisions around here? It seems to Zende, everything they just discussed was all smoke and mirrors.

REQUEST DENIED
Suddenly, after his request is denied, Zende gets angry. He realizes the common thread in ‘Hope for the Future’ being backburnered and Dylan getting fired is all about this being “R.J. and Electra (Laneya Grace) domain.” Zende announces, “My last name doesn’t matter.” With that, he quits.
Next, Zende thanks Eric and Ridge for being wonderful mentors and holds the door open for Dylan as they exit the office. Now in the design office, Dylan thanks Zende for his support, but she doesn’t want him to quit because of her.
“This has been building for a long time,” acknowledges Zende. He is over the nepotism, and the company BS. As he and Dylan head for the elevator to make their exit, Eric shows up to stop his grandson. “We need you here. I need that. You’re the next generation of Forrester,” says Eric.
WALKING OUT THE DOOR
However, then came the piece de resistance in another compelling and Emmy noteworthy scene from Delon de Metz. Now standing his ground against his grandfather, Zende will not allow himself to be swayed and stands his ground, with tears in his eyes and all the back-history you can muster.
Zende in tears tells Eric, “This doesn’t feel like the place for me anymore. “I’m gonna miss you, Granddad.” Eric tells Zende he loves him, as Zende hugs Eric, that quickly switches to pulling it together and walking out of the family business.
Delon de Metz, who with last Friday’s episode, where Michael Fairman TV named his work the Power Performance of the Week, combined with this closing scene on today’s airshow, should give the actor plenty of material to compete in for the Emmy statuette in 2027.
Now below, check out the final moments when Zende makes his decision to leave Forrester and his heartbreaking goodbye with Eric.
So, what did you think of Delon de Metz’s performance on today’s all-new episode of The Bold and the Beautiful? Do you think Ridge and Eric have been dreadful to the family employees? Glad to see Zende go to Logan? Let us know via the the comment section.
He did an awesome job with script& emotions. Facial features& tone, made it very believable that he meant business. Very proud of you, young man!
What an amazing performance! Bravo!
Zende is immature here but the writers seem to keep him that way
Zende made the right decision by leaving Forester. Electra has got the big-,head and RJ does too.What will Steffie think when she hears about what happened. Katie got too bossy with Dylan.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Matt Clark Reveals Himself, ‘Clearly, Hero Time Is Over’

The Young and the Restless viewers prepare yourselves for what’s to come starting tomorrow on the Tuesday, October 13 episode of the CBS soap opera, now that it’s quite clear, that the former nefarious rapist Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) is back in action and headed straight to Sharon’s (Sharon Case) house.
On the Monday, October 12 episode, viewers learned that as Matt has battled with his inner demons, it’s clear that revenge-filled Matt has taken over his brain and reemerged or so we think.
In the seedy motel room, after the car crash with Patty (Stacy Haiduk) who is MIA, Matt is banged up in the head. He calls Sharon, but says nothing to her. After he hangs up, he paces around the room wondering why he is still there and tries to figure out what he wants.

HERO WORSHIP
He then has a flash back to his encounter with Sharon outside of Crimson Lights, and he makes a declaration that Sharon truly believes in giving people second chances.
However, in a later scene, Matt is on rant that he is not putting a halo Sharon just yet, because he knows she would dance on his coffin with plate of oatmeal raisin cookies. He proclaims that he doesn’t give a damn what anyone thinks about him anymore, because playing the hero didn’t work for him, and now hero time is over as he looks at himself in the mirror.
As we previously reported in the official Y&R spoilers for this week, Matt winds up making his way inside Sharon’s house, where he falls asleep and then is confronted by Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Sharon. What will his disposition be?
THE END OF MATT CLARK OR ANOTHER NEW BEGINNING?
At this point, what do you hope happens with Matt Clark? Do you want this to be the end of the character’s reign of terror?
Do you think with this the final weeks of material from Josh Griffith and new material starting November 11 from new Y&R co-head writers, Jamey Giddens and Dan O’Connor, that the soap scribes would have found a way to keep Matt around that makes sense in story?
Let us know via the comment section, and check out the scenes below where Matt definitely has a change of heart … and mind!
General Hospital
Parry Shen and Lydia Look Make a Return to ‘General Hospital’

In a surprise appearance on the Monday, October 12 episode of General Hospital, Parry Shen and Lydia Look returned to the canvas as Brad Cooper and Selina Wu, as the Wu crime family was bidding for the Port Charles piers up for auction!
Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Ric (Rick Hearst) are completely floored when Selina strolled into the Metro Court conference room with her nephew and former GH lab tech, Brad Cooper, by her side.
This is the first time GH viewers have seen the character of Selina Wu since back in July of 2025. Previously, Sidwell (Carlo Rota) framed Selena for the firebombing of Charlie’s pun that put Sonny’s daughter Kristina (Kate Mansi) in grave danger. GH fans recall it was the late Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) who saved Kristina from the fire. In story to avoid Sonny’s wrath, Selina fled the country.

SURPRISE NEW PIER OWNER IS REVEALED
When Selina entered the conference room on today’s GH, she told Sonny the entire Sidwell debacle was “water under the bridge,” and he agreed. “I have no issue with you,” Sonny said in return.
In order to secure her bid for the piers, Selina explained Brad stepped in to make the necessary arrangements while she was trying to get herself get back to the United States. Sonny tells Brad, “You’re not going to get those piers!”
When it’s time for Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) to reveal the winning bid for the piers, seated in the room are potential buyers: Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), and JJE executive, Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel).
Suddenly, Ezra reveals that JJE secured the piers and the winning bid as Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) made a surprise entrance as the new pier owner. How did Josslyn do it? Watch the clip below where prior to the final bids being announced, the WSB agent rigged the computer system!
So, glad to see Brad Cooper and Selina Wu back in action? Do you hope they stay for a bit? What do you think of Josslyn getting the piers? Is this how she sets out to destroy Sonny? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

‘The Bold and the Beautiful’s’ Delon de Metz Delivers the ‘Power Performance of the Week’

Sometimes all it takes is one scene you can sink your teeth into that is well-written and laced with the deep history of a character seldom spoken of, that comes forth in a dramatic, compelling way and that’s exactly what happened on Friday, October 9 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful.
In it, Delon de Metz (Zende Forrester) stepped up to the plate and hit a home run with heart-wrenching scene opposite Daytime Emmy winners, John McCook (Eric Forrester) and Thorsten Kaye (Ridge Forrester).
Throughout the week, de Metz carried the bulk of the story in which he was featured as Katie (Heather Tom), Hope (Annika Noelle) along with Dylan (Sydney Bullock) tried to convince Zende to jump ship to the waring fashion house Logan, and leave the family company behind where he has been back-burnered and wasted as a designer. Delon played the inner battle of the initial betrayal of Hope defecting to Logan and leaving him behind, but soon realizing his own family doesn’t seem to care enough to give him something to do worthy of his talents.
In the gripping scene on the October 9 episode, Zende was put on the spot by Eric and Ridge. Was he going to their enemy Logan or staying put at Forrester Creations? And that, brought up all the pain Zende has endured since being a very young boy, and how his biological mother and brother all passed away from AIDS. This also reminded viewers of the backstory of a young Zende who first appeared on the soap in 2001.

HOW KRISTEN AND TONY ADOPTED ZENDE
Early in the 2000s, The Bold and the Beautiful was telling the story of Kristen Forrester (Tracy Melchior) and her husband Tony Dominquez (Paolo Benedetti) who recently had learned he was HIV+.
While on their honeymoon, they met a young boy from an orphanage and learned that both his parents had died of AIDS. After that, they could not stop thinking of the little boy. After heading back to Los Angeles, they later returned to Africa and started adopted proceedings and Zende became their son.
Fast-forward to 2026, and now the grown-up Zende unloads the pain, heartbreak, frustration of years of pent up emotion and back-story in this scene; set agains the backdrop of staying true to the family that adopted him, or righting a wrong that is happening in his career. Delon’s full dialog of what Zende said when confronted by Eric and Ridge is below in full.

ZENDE’S EMOTIONAL SPEECH
“My life changed because your sister, your daughter, visited my orphanage. She could have honeymooned anywhere in the world. She could have just done the tourist thing. She could have gone on safari and hung out by the pool, but no. She met me. She saved me,” explained Zende.
“We don’t talk about it, but I still remember them. My birth parents, my little brother, their body’s wasting away. I can still see it. AIDS took so many wonderful lives and thank God we could treat it now, but back then, don’t. Don’t you ever insinuate that I don’t know how lucky I am. I was so proud to be adopted, so proud to be a Forrester. I grew up in these halls. This company, this family, they’re a part of me. I should be higher up on the ladder.”
At this point, Eric interrupts Zende, saying “You’re young. You’re a Forrester, you have plenty of time.” Zende pushed back on that notion asserting, “I’ve been hearing that for too many years now. ‘It takes years’. It didn’t take R.J.(Brayan Nicoletti) years. He wanted Electra (Laneya Grace). So, you gave them a line so he could be with her, so he could work with her. Do you know how much that hurt me? Do you know how disrespected and forgotten I felt?”
Even through that, Zende lets Eric and Ridge know how much he loves, but he needs to leave the company saying, “I love you guys so much. You know, being adopted in this family was the luckiest day of my life. Coming to Los Angeles, learning design, an art, a trade from the master. You gave me opportunities that I could have never imagined. But, more importantly, you gave me family and you gave me love. I’ve never taken that for granted. Never not for one second.”
He added, “I don’t want you to think of me in a bad light. But, you put me on ‘Hope for the Future’ and that’s where I found myself as a designer. That’s where I found my passion, my life. Now, I have the chance to go back to it and do it somewhere else.”
As the scene comes to an end, Zende reveals his decision to Eric and Ridge, “Despite my extreme gratitude, despite your sister being my mom (said to Ridge), I still feel like an outsider, and maybe it’s not right of me, but I do. I don’t want to have any ill will here. I don’t want this to come off as some kind of betrayal or a defection, but I put a lot of thought into this. I mean, this is one of the most important decisions of my life. I’m given my notice. I’m going to work with hope at Logan. They need me and they want me.”
Suddenly, Eric puts on the guilt and asks Zende to please not leave the family and reconsider this move carefully. We are left with the cliffhanger for this week, if Zende will defect to Logan and stand his ground, or fall back in line with the Forresters.
Delon de Metz was able to put a spotlight on Zende’s painful beginnings as a child, and his journey to becoming a member of the Forrester family and never feeling enough. It was also touching to see B&B finally remember their AIDS storyline, which sadly took the lives of many African children and others around the world during the AIDS pandemic.
For all the reasons stated above Delon de Metz is Michael Fairman TV’s pick for the Power Performance of the Week. In case you missed it, you can watch the moments below.
Now let us know, what did you think of Zende bringing up his past, and his love for his family and deciding to go to work at Logan? Do you think he will stay at Forrester after Eric tries to reason with him, or make his exit? What did you think of the performance of Delon de Metz? Let us know via the comment section.
