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

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Steffy Tells Carter She’s Pregnant, But He Has a Way ‘Out of This Situation For All of Us’
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? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section, but first check out B&B’s video teaser for next week’e episodes below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Reach an Impasse; Is This the End of Their Relationship?
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.
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.

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?
