THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Ridge and Deacon Have an All-Out Brawl

By Michael Fairman

Monday’s episode of The Bold and the Beautiful brought with a knock=down drag-out fight between Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) and Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan).

After initially throwing the first punch on Friday’s cliffhanger, Ridge was not done confronting Deacon, who he believes got his wife, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), drunk on New Year’s Eve then took advantage of the situation and made out with her, and took her upstairs to the bed he shares with her and stayed the night.

While Ridge does not have all the facts, perfectly straight, he is outraged that in his absence on New Year’s Eve, Deacon made a play for Brooke and got liquored up right along with her.

Deacon attempts to explain that Brooke had already been drinking all by herself that night before he even came into the picture. Deacon explains how he left the Forrester home, but then came back and that’s when he and Brooke shared a kiss, but only one kiss! Ridge lets Deacon know that he violated his wife, his home, his bed, everything.

Provoked, Deacon said he held off fighting Ridge because of Hope (Annika Noelle) and Brooke, but no more, and tells Ridge to make his move.  What comes next is an all-out brawl between the two knocking each other about in the supply closet with fists and with cleaning supplies!

Brooke stumbles on to the scene and seems to run over to Deacon’s aid.  She screams out at Ridge that this whole situation was her doing, it was not Deacon’s fault, and Ridge, who can’t believe any of this, shouts multiple times: “He didn’t do a thing?”

Looks like Brooke’s marriage is now about to crumble from her actions, along with a major push from Taylor (Krista Allen) and company pointing out Brooke’s on-going issue with infidelity through the years.

Watch the fight between Ridge and Deacon below.  Then let us know, are you rooting for Ridge and Brooke… or Ridge and Taylor? And, will this turning point cause Brooke to go back to the bottle, or will she have the steely resolve to find out what actually happened? (Enter Sheila!)  Share your thoughts in the comment section.

Why is it that those who seem to love Brooke turn on her so quickly? Really Ridge. Decades of waffling between Brooke and Taylor. That stupid affair with your son’s girlfriend, also your niece by marriage. That dalliance with Quinn when she was with your father. Your lack of support for your own brother. I know Brooke was questionable as a young woman but we are pushing 60 now. Grow up! I would like to see Brooke give it back to Ridge and move on for good. That Sheila’s juvenile plan is thwarted would only fan her upset and elevate stakes. That such worldly people would respond to a lame issue is absurd. This is all too tiresome.

I’ve only watched this for a month. But yes, I LIKE your idea!! I’d like to see Brooke give it back. She was drunk when she did the kiss…but Ridge was plenty sober when HE did the same thing. When is Sheila gonna get found out? I am losing interest. I watched the very first debut of the Young and Restless before I began fulltime work. I retired and have watched that for the past month and was amazed to see the same Victor and Nicki! Oh well, different soap..

It was a brawl, that’s for sure! I’m okay with Ridge leaving Brooke. Again. Just to shake things up.

Where are Flo and Wyatt and Eric and Quinn?

I wonder if Brooke hadn’t walked in how far this would have gotten. Deacon stopped the moment he heard Brooke’s voice but I am quite sure Deacon would have gotten in a few more good hits in if it hadn’t been for her.

Knew there would be a big beefy boy brawl

I think they are both fools, considering who they are fighting for!

Can the writing team do anything other than love triangles????!!! Brooke/Ridge/Taylor should be past this at this point. If it’s not them, it’s Steffy/Hope/Liam, Ridge/Brooke/Bill, Brooke/Bill/Katie, Eric/Quinn/Carter, need I say more???

Don’t forget Zende/Paris/Carter. And I cannot stand Steffy with her being so “wounded” and self-righteous.

Yes, I am very disappointed in Steffy as well, especially since Brooke has supported her against Sheila. Thomas and Steffy are way to hold for wanting Mommy and Daddy together – Grow up!!

Meant to write way to old.

So Deacon meets The Raging Bull! Two middle aged men, fighting over the likes of Brooke Logan, Valley Girl. Ridge sounded like a broken record and the less Deacon said, the guiltier he seemed. Maybe he can get room and board at Brook’s house. She owes him that much and Ridge can stay with his kids and Taylor who have been plotting for this breakup and trying to rush it along.
Oh and by the way, I can’t stand the new Taylor and liked the wig better!

Violet…And I can’t stand Steffy, her brother and Victoria from Y&R.

I could never stand Steffy and Hope. I don’t like this new Thomas or their “perfect” mother who will take Ridge any way she can get him. Surprised me today when she acted a little coy before grabbing him up.
Victoria Newman has been a spoiled brat for so long, guesse I’m just more used to her. Suprised she hasn’t fought off her own mother to keep her away from daddy.

I like Thorsten Kaye but no he will never be Ridge the show is very sad and KA will never be Taylor maybe it’s time to just roll it up and be done I notice nobody comments on this show and yet they tell it is rated number two!!! KKL is 60 she looks fantastic but her character had never grown up and trust me a alcoholic would know in one second that she was drinking ! I hate that Brad makes characters so stupid

Kat
I believe you. I would probably just taste it and go,” oh,this taste just like the real thing” without question.

General Hospital

Could Kristen Vaganos and Josh Kelly Be Exiting ‘General Hospital?’

Published

Josh and Kristen

General Hospital fans took to social media following the airing of the Wednesday, October 21 episode of the ABC daytime drama series. In story, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) reveals to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) that she has received an offer to join the top law firm in Chicago that practices civil law. She says it’s her dream job.

The problem Molly says is relocating from Port Charles and uprooting her life and being away from her mother, Scout and boyfriend Cody Bell (Josh Kelly). Wistful that she may lose another daughter to a long-distance situation (Kristina left a few months back to go to medical school in California), Alexis urged Molly to get Cody to go with her.

Molly still seemed concerned and has trouble committing to the idea. Alexis tells her to talk it over with Cody. Meanwhile, Cody asked Tracy (Jane Elliot) is he can have Thanksgiving off because he and Molly planned to spend Thanksgiving together with their families. After initially balking, Tracy agrees.

WILL MOLLY AND CODY HEAD TO CHI-TOWN?

Later, Cody shows up at Miller & Davis and the conversation turned to Thanksgiving dinner that Alexis is hosting. Molly and Cody asked her not to cook anything. Cody hugged Molly reassuring Alexis that he and Molly would take care of whatever was needed on Turkey Day.

So, this raises the question, why out of nowhere are we learning that Molly received an amazing law offer in Chicago, if the character was not being written out? If Molly leaves the canvas, would the character of Cody make his exit too?

Kristen Vaganos joined GH as a recast Molly Lansing-Davis back in September of 2023 and went on contract in August of 2024. Josh Kelly began playing Cody Bell back in June of 2022. Initial reports were that Kelly joined the show on contract and then as of June 2025 went on recurring status with the show per his choice.

Do you see a world where GH is writing out Molly and Cody? Would you be sad to see Kristen and Josh exit the soap opera? If this is not what is going on, is this just a plot point for some other story that is upcoming? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Adam Delivers Sally’s Baby as Billy Reels from Jill’s Health Crisis in Tearjerker Episode

Published

Billy, Sally and Adam

The Tuesday, October 20 episode saw The Young and the Restless deliver some deeply-poignant moments in the aftermath of Billy (Jason Thompson) and Sally’s (Courtney Hope) wedding.

The scenes which will be talked about for some time to come, because of how they can impact longterm story, had Adam (Mark Grossman) being the one to deliver Billy and Sally’s baby, while Billy was gut-punched by a phone call from Snapper Foster that Jill had suffered a heart attack in London.

In story, while up in Sally’s room at the GCAC, wishing his ex all the happiness, (because Adam and Billy have no love lost, and he didn’t want to cause waves), Sally’s water broke. In true soapy fashion, all phones were dead. Sally’s phone was missing because it was with Audra (Zuleyka Silver), Adam’s battery ran out etc. Prior to that, Adam did try to call Billy, but Billy did not pick up his calls, as he was with Cane (Billy Flynn) coming to terms with the news on Jill.

TORN BETWEEN RUNNING TO HIS MOTHER OR HIS NEW WIFE AND BABY

Now in the perfect storm of circumstances, Adam is the one to help Sally deliver her baby when she begged him to stay with er screaming, “Please don’t make me do this alone!” Adam reminded Sally that he’d already delivered a baby twice before. She assured him that it will be OK, and not to be scared, because this isn’t the same set of circumstances when she lost their daughter, Ava, during childbirth.

Downstairs, Billy is in tears over his mother. So too is Cane. Cane speaks to Jill on the phone when Snapper holds the phone to her while at her hospital bed. He tells her he loves her. Billy cannot bring himself to talk to his mom.

Cane decides he will go to London. Billy doesn’t know what to do with a new wife and a baby on the way. It’s clear how much losing Jill would devastate Billy. Cane tells Lily (Christel Khalil) what has happened to Jill, and Billy informs Jack (Peter Bergman) before he tries to find his bride who is upstairs in her room.

A NEW ABBOTT

Back in Sally’s room, eventually Adam asks Sally (who is deep in labor), if she thought she was having a girl or boy, and she said a boy. But then, Adam introduced her to her “beautiful, perfect baby girl.” It was a moment laced with so much history for Adam and Sally and Adam and Billy, when you think of the deaths of Ava and Deliah.

As Sally cradled her newborn little bundle of joy, Adam went to go get Billy at her request, and as he made his way to the door, Billy was standing there. Billy is stunned to see his rival standing, but then Sally tells Billy to meet his daughter!

Billy rushes to the bedside to be my his new wife and daughter, with the heartbreaking final shot of Adam emotionally overcome thinking of the baby he has lost with Sally. and how he wishes things could have turned out differently in a bittersweet moment.

Steffy and Finn

On the Monday, October 19 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, after Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) stammering around and trying to find a way to couch her lie to her husband, Finn (Tanner Novlan), she finally admits what she has been dreading telling him.

But not before, Finn and Steffy rehash Monaco, Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown), and how it was turning point in their lives (that’s an understatement) with Finn reiterating, “Our marriage is precious. What we have is pure and true.”

Finn promises Sheila is out of their lives for good, and Steffy chokes back tears saying how she wished she hadn’t removed her ring and hightailed it out of Monaco. She says she wishes she could take that back, but she can’t.

Steffy tells Finn she has a lot to say. Finn tells her there is nothing they can’t overcome. Steffy says she made a significant decision while he was away. She goes to to say what a great friend Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) has been to her. Finn asks if Daphne and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) are still interviewing to find a surrogate? Steffy says they found someone and the process has begun, and its “me.”

Finn gulps, “What do you mean it’s you?” Steffy eeks out of her mouth, “I agreed to be Daphne and Carter’s surrogate.” Finn, who is a doctor no less says, “I don’t understand!” He explains he knows there is a list of medical and legal hurdles someone has to go through before a woman can become a surrogate for a couple. He also tells Steffy he knows she could never carry a child and give it up.

Next, Finn tells Steffy she’s wonderful for considering to do this for Carter and Daphne, but she’ll have to tell them no. Steffy says it’s too late. That while he was out of town they went ahead with the procedure. Finn asks, “What procedure?” Steffy responds, “The fertilization of the eggs.” Finn learns they used Steffy’s frozen eggs and did the implantation and loses it!

“I can’t believe you went and did that! This isn’t something a wife does when their husband is out of town on a business trip,” hollers Finn. He cannot believe what he is hearing and that his wife just went and did this without him! He pushes back on Steffy. demanding answers, “There’s more going on here. What is it? Steffy? Tell me!” We fade to black.

You can check out the pivotal scene between Finn and Steffy below.

Now weigh-in: are you glad Finn is as of now not being a doofus? That he is pushy back on Steffy? Do you think Steffy will continue with this lie or admit she slept with Carter and became pregnant? Either way, would Finn stay with his wife while she became a surrogate for Carter and Daphne? Let us know in the comment section.
