THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Ridge & Bill and The FBI Are Working Together to Bring Down Sheila!

Courtesy/CBS

How’s that for a headline we thought we would never see, or did not see coming … at all! On Wednesday’s episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, there was a quite a shocking cliffhanger in store for viewers.

The twist brings Thorsten Kaye back into the canvas after his character of Ridge presumably left town following Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Taylor (Krista Allen) kicking him to the curb.

Meanwhile for months now, viewers have been wondering what the hell is wrong with Bill Spencer (Don Diamont)? How could he be romantically involved with Sheila (Kimberlin Brown)? Hitting the sheets with her? Defending her? Blackmailing Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Finn (Tanner Novlan) to keep Sheila out of jail?

Many presumed it would be revealed that Bill has a brain tumor, or a physical ailment or had some sort of psychotic break (sword necklace and all), that would explain away his behavior.

Turns out we sort of got our answer at the end of yesterday’s episode.  In it, we see someone scanning a key card to go into “authorized personnel only” room. As the camera pans up, we see plenty of computers and a jacket that reads FBI.  Yes, the kind with big yellow letters on it.

Next, the cameras reveal a man taking off his headphones.  When we pan up, it is revealed that the man is actually Ridge Forrester in a sort of ‘man-bun’.  Next to him is … Bill!

Then Ridge calls Bill his “partner” in this takedown, and asks how is he holding up?  Just then, we see Bill angrily looking at multi-cams from Bill’s house and of Sheila sitting on the phone talking to someone.  Bill then declares that he wants to put Shiela Carter behind bars for life.

The story point has left viewers a bit confused. Such as: Sheila was already behind bars, when Bill got her out of the slammer by blackmailing Steffy and Finn over revealing that Taylor shot him years ago.

So, what did you think about the Ridge and Bill shocker? Do you think this is going to redeem Ridge in the eyes of Brooke and Taylor because he has thus been “protecting” their families this whole time? Do you think Bill will be able to keep his apparent charade with Sheila up much longer?  Watch the reveal below, and then share your thoughts and theories in the comment section.

Terrible. Sheila has been my absolute favourite character and Kimberlin fave actress in the 30 plus years I’ve been watching this show. I wish they would’ve stayed on the path to redemption when she reappeared in 2021. Not looking forward to the bore this show so often is during the years when she is absent.

I hope they don’t cancel Shelia, she is the Only reason I watch B&B

Linda,
OMG, what’s wrong with you people?

I hope she stays on B&B too because I don’t watch the show and if they set her loose she’ll storm I over to Y&R, a show I do watch. I don’t find Sheila interesting or compelling- she’s redundant and boring.

I don’t think this was the intent but I think negative viewers on Social media made Brad do a u turn. Soaps like everything else are not getting viewers people I’m one of them are disenchanted with the writing etc

Bill & Ridge working together? Never thought I’d see that happening.

I absolutely love this turn in the road! Hott!!

Yes! In keeping with friendship of Taylor & Brooke too!
But it can’t be an easy Sheila take down! Both Ridge & Bill will be
fighting for their lives against the FBI!

Linda Foris
I don’t think they are fighting AGAINST the FBI, but are working WITH them.

With the FBI involved, they’re looking for info on a specific crime that Sheila did.
The only way this makes sense.

This twist is a bit lame. The police has Sheila in custody with potential strong charges by Steffy and Finn. The threat of blackmail on Taylor seems weak as an excuse to allow this plot turn having the alpha males to have their own way. Is this a redemptive exercise to yet again activate the decades long merry go around for Brooke, Ridge, Taylor, and Bill? Boys showing off to win the girls? The Sheila return has lacked sustained suspense. Finn’s father and adoptive mother were here and gone. Wouldn’t they be engaged more? She never seems in jeopardy. I read speculation about her murder. Yeah right!

She was just going to be charged with attempted on steffy and finn…. they are going after her for life for actual murder so does make sense

Does this show EVER have a long-term story outline in place? They just write as they go with no thought to what happened a day, a week, or a year ago. Just like it says above, Sheila was already behind bars. Why would the FBI allow her to get out, allow Bill to blackmail her, and use private citizens in their 60’s (Bill and Ridge) to try to bring her down?

General Hospital still would have us believe that world law and spy agencies would still be recruiting the services of people in their 60’s and 70’s to run stealth, covert missions. Lol. But that’s GH … it is a spy and crime show and has been for over 40 years. B and B is not.

i give bold credit for being able to keep this under wraps they’ve done this a number of times in the last few years without social media bursting the bubble beforehand another interesting twist that will have people talking and while kimberlin is fantastic there is no redeeming sheila i still say she escapes and heads to genoa city to find lauren

Thorsten Kaye has never been Ridge and he looks awful looks like he is 70 what the heck! And do not start on Ronn moss he was dynamite looking yes he had his moments but this is just nonsense

I’m sorry, but Thorsten Kaye is a much better actor than boring Ronn Moss. Ron just stood around looking like a freaking statue. No real emotion. Nothing, so I was glad when TPTB replaced him. Thorston looks damn good, especiallyfor an older man. I always found Ronn Moss unattractive as hell! Tall and scrawny with a scratchy voice. Ugh…JMO

Sheila’s going to Al fox the three idiots yet again

I wish Taylor wouldn’t wear that vest/pants with that effing sweater off the shoulder for THREE days! I’m also sick of hair extensions! Glad Ridge is back.

Dave,
Who is AL Fox, someone new?

Yes love it

Yes love it please keep Brook and Taylor friends and Bill & Ridge friends.

I thought Sheila signed a three year Contract with the show. So, she will be on this show until summer of 2024. She is a Phenomenal actress ❤️. Time for Hope and Liam to take a Six Month break from the show!! So tired of all of their whining and complaining about Everything. Let’s finally get Donna & Eric married,, need a super extravaganza of a Wedding!!!

I like that Bill and Ridge are working together. Sheila is a good actress. She could certainly go to Y&R to shake things up over there thing. I find B&B more interesting and like the changing of story lines.

The biggest problem with B&B is that it should have extended into being an hour long rather than only a half hour long decades ago. Because of this, the show has been stunted in it’s ability to grow and expand. There are not enough characters on canvas so it really limits what the writers can do. They have a huge tendency to repeat themselves over and over and that’s when for us watching it can get really tedious. For example, you sometimes get Steffy & Finn or Hope & Liam repeating relatively the same dialog two or even three days in a row before we get something new. I have a tendency to fast forward through at least five minutes out of each episode and miss virtually nothing because I know it’s just the same dialog. GO TO AN HOUR!! IT’S MORE THAN PAST TIME FOR IT!!

Totally agree with you Julie. Y&R, GH & DAYS run circles around B&B when it comes to dialog writing because they aren’t nearly as repetitive. A scene with the same characters that takes B&B 3 episodes to get through takes the other soaps only 1 because of the expanded length.

Story-wise, it also feels like there are major missing pieces on B&B. Why has it taken this long for R.J. to return? Where has Jack Marone been all of these years, and why is he never mentioned? Where did Maya, Flo and Bridget go? They were never given a proper exit. Why are Thorne, Felicia and Rick not on the show? They are Eric’s children and should be playing a much larger role in the company/family.

If B&B were an hour long, maybe we would get better dialog, more characters to spread around the canvas, and less repetitive stories, but that seems very unlikely.

Sheila is like one of these ailments you see on TV, chronic that never go away. I think she will allude Ridge, Bill and the rest of the law enforcement, make her getaway or be assumed dead and hopefully will be gone for a long time until next time, and where she pops up, nobody knows.

It seems like Ridge did a scene like this with FBI on Bold and Beautiful before.

Yea familiar isn’t it?

The Logan ladies old geezer dad sure had a nerve attacking Ridge for not being there for his daughters. Where the heck was he years ago when they needed a dad and his wife z husband? What an old hypocrit!
Sorry, Bobby Ewing, still love ya!

General Hospital

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny and Jason Trade Threats on Each Other

The love affair that once was mobster Sonny (Maurice Benard) and hit man Jason (Steve Burton), and having each others back, is now apparently over! On the Thursday April 25th episode of General Hospital, an increasingly paranoid Sonny is confronted by Jason.

Jason wants to talk to Sonny about a “family matter”, but Sonny says they aren’t family now because he’s working with the Feds. Sonny goes on to say how he cannot trust Carly (Laura Wright) or Jason and he knows about Jason buying back the Metro Court for Carly from Nina (Cynthia Watros).

When the conversation turns to Josslyn (Eden McCoy) and Dex (Evan Hofer), Jason informs Sonny that Kristina (Kate Mansi) knows Sonny ordered a hit. Jason is worried about Dex’s safety. He tells Sonny that if he does something to Dex, Kristina will figure out that he is responsible.

Sonny goes on to say how much he loves his kids and how he will protect them. He then tears into Jason for abandoning his sons, Danny and Jake, for two years and how he has no right to stand there to tell him what to do.

Jason warns Sonny again to leave Dex alone or he’ll personally stop him. Sonny snaps at Jason, countering, “You’ll die trying!” And at that point, Jason walks out and Sonny slams the door behind him.

What do you think about this split in the longstanding relationship of Jason and Sonny? Do you like Jason and Sonny at odds? Will Kristina be the person to ultimately figure out what is happening to Sonny, or it might it be Nina, who knows Ava (Maura West) is up to no good? Share your thoughts in the comment section, but first watch this clip from part of the Sonny/Jason scenes below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Brook Lynn and Chase Have Their Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties

On General Hospital, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) both were treated to Bachelorette and Bachelor parties to shake off any of those pre-wedding jitters. At The Savoy, the ladies have a touching and fun time with Brook Lynn.

The bride-to-be gives a speech to thank everyone for coming, while Lois lets everyone know to try the signature cocktail the “Brooklynn Chaser”, which gets everybody eventually and mostly, drunk.

When Tracy (Jane Elliot) questions Lois (Rena Sofer) as to why there is no music for the party, Lois realizes she forgot, and somehow, who does she call to the rescue? Spinelli (Bradford Anderson)! Saving the day, he winds up playing some tunes and later gets on the dance floor to ‘shake it off’ with the gals.

Lois makes a speech as the mother of the bride, and shares how proud she is of the woman Brook Lynn has become. Wedding games begin, including one of “hot potato” with a wedding bouquet.

When it’s time for the “Silly Poses” section of the party, Spinelli has now morphed from DJ to staff photographer taking memorable photos of the ladies to remember the evening by.

The best part of the event, was when Brook Lynn tries to get her grandmother Tracy out on the dance floor, which, at first, she refuses. After several of the guests bust a move, a tipsy Tracy joins the dance party after Joss mentions that if her grandmother Bobbie was here, she would dance. Tracy says “she agrees” and begins to cut a rug on the floor, much to the delight of the other women.

In the final moments, a tipsy Joss and Kristina (Kate Mansi) have a confrontation about Sonny, and Joss lets Kristina in more on Sonny’s behavior, which looks to have clued in Kristina a bit more as to how something is way off about her dad.

Across town at the Hatchett Bar, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and the men with the exception of Anna (Finola Hughes) and Jordan (Tanisha Harper), all attend Chase’s Bachelor Party where throwing hatchets into a dart board for supremacy is the order of the day. Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Ned (Wally Kurth) get into some words over ELQ, while Dante makes a toast to his police partner, Chase.

Photo: ABC

Suddenly Dex (Evan Hofer) shows up. Chase thanks Dex for coming, but Dex gets some dirty looks from other cops on the force. Dante gives Chase his present, which is a signed baseball by the Boston Red Sox.

Ned (Wally Kurth) makes a speech that although no one is good enough for his daughter, Brook Lynn, Chase has come closer than anyone has, so welcome to the family. Running in at the end is Blaze (Jacqueline Grace Lopez), who just left Brook Lynn’s party, and she toasts her singing partner, Chase, and to the great man that he is.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Nina Confronts Ava for Sabotaging Her Relationship With Sonny and Signs the Divorce Papers

Looks like Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Ava (Maura West) are back to be each other’s sworn enemy number one. By the end of the Monday, April 22nd episode of General Hospital, the women know where they stand with each other after Nina goes in on Ava accusing her of wanting Sonny (Maurice Benard) all to herself, while her marriage has been on the rocks.

In story, at Nina’s office, Ava shows up to see Nina and says she is sorry about what happened with Sonny and that he reacted the way he did, acknowledging that is was over the top, even for Sonny. Ava says she’ll smooth things over, but Nina says she now understands how manipulative and transparent Ava really is.

Given their horrible history, Nina goes in on Ava and how she should never have trusted her. Nina wants to know how long has Ava had this agenda dating all the way back to telling Nina to turn Carly (Laura Wright) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) into the SEC. Ava says she never told her do to that, but Nina wants to know how long Ava has been playing her for a fool.

Ava says she moved in with Sonny to keep Avery safe and she wants to be on good terms with Avery’s father, Sonny. Nina thinks she likes being in Sonny’s inner circle. Ava tells Nina if she goes to him about her advising Nina to call the SEC on Carly and Drew, it won’t work.  Sonny still considers Nina a traitor and he will think she’s lying because she’s so desperate to win him back. Ava says if Nina would stop blaming everyone else that maybe Sonny would respect her.  Nina says “like he does you?” Ava says Sonny not only respects her, but he also counts on her.

From there, Ava launches into why she and Sonny understand each other, after all, Sonny is a powerful, turbulent, and sometimes violent man. She goes so far to say if Nina wanted someone to just sit by the fire with and play with their grandchildren, she’s got the wrong guy.  Ava then talks about Mike from Nixon Falls (Sonny with amnesia) and how Sonny hid the darkest parts of himself from Nina back then, whereas with Ava they are the same similar creatures, so he doesn’t have to hide anything.

Nina wants to know just what Ava wants with Sonny? What is her end game? Ava responds that they understand each other, in ways she can’t with Sonny. Nina tells Ava she can go ahead and have it all and signs Sonny’s divorce papers. Ava walks out with the documents, while Nina in tears at her desk, takes off her wedding rings and has her assistant come in so she can messenger the rings back to Sonny’s address.

The episode and these scenes featured great performances by Cynthia Watros and Maura West. You can check some of the scenes below.

Now, let us know, what is Ava’s next move? Is she going to become Mrs. Sonny Corinthos? Do you like Ava and Nina as enemies? Comment below.
