THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Ridge Chooses Taylor
Looks like Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Thomas’ (Matthew Atkinson) continued machinations finally paid off for now on CBS’ The Bold and the Beautiful. Not giving up hope that they can reunite their mother, Taylor (Krista Allen) with their father, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and have Ridge kick Brooke to the curb for good measure, today’s episode would mark a success for the Forrester fam.
However, we still don’t know for sure who is behind the call to CPS (Child Protective Services) that Ridge assumes was Brooke … but could it be Thomas or Douglas (Django Ferri/but soon-to-be the returning Henry Joseph Samiri) using the voice-changer? Whatever the case, B&B has found yet another way to break up Brooke and Ridge. Something tells us when the truth comes out, Ridge may regret his ‘bold’ move in Aspen.
After having an epiphany when a pinecone falls on his head, Ridge hightails it to Aspen to find Taylor. Meanwhile, Taylor is lamenting that she doesn’t want to be Ridge’s second choice and involved in a constant flip-flop for his love, attention, and devotion along with Brooke.
Ridge tells Taylor he understands why she would want to run if he was stuck between two women; but he’s not that man anymore. He exclaims: “I want to be a better man, and you make me a better man. I want to be with you, for always.”
In typical B&B sweeping romantic fashion, the scenes between Ridge and Taylor are shot on the top of the mountains overlooking Aspen. Ridge professes his love to Taylor saying: “I’m here for us and I want you to be here for us too. Can you do that?” At first, Taylor shakes her head and relates, “I’m sorry.” Then, after a brief pause with a smile and tears in her eyes, Taylor asks Ridge,”But what took you so long?” Next, they embrace and share a heartfelt and passionate kiss.
Meantime, Brooke is on the private jet trying to get to Aspen knowing her marriage is in real trouble. What will she do when she finds out Ridge gave his heart to Taylor? Will there be a twist coming?
Check out the key scene where Taylor and Ridge reunite on the mountain top below.
Then let us know, do you want Ridge to stay with Taylor, or do you hope he goes back with Brooke? And, who made the call to CPS that started this whole mess over Douglas staying with his bio-dad, Thomas? Share your theories in the comment section.
I have a comment:. I DON’T CARE!!!
Three decades of this is enough!!!
Also, no more Brooke and Bill!!! Tired of that mess too!!!
I agree, John. It reminds me of a dance caller yelling “CHANGE PARTNERS” when there are only two couples dancing. BORING!
After seeing todays episode I agree the writing is awful I wish this time Brooke & Taylor would say go away he does not deserve either one of them . I hate what they have also done to the character of Thomas.
Soaphound
Hi, Iam as bored and disgusted as most everyone, but can’t stop watching, if only to watch that dumb Ridge stand there and just turn him head back and forth and to hopefully put his son in his place when it finally comes out what terrible thing he’s done,no matter the end results.Who cares who Ridge chooses!
Brooke should just cut the waffler loose and get with Bill. I used to hate them as a pair. Bu he truly values her and she seems happy when she’s with him.
Lew S
You make a good point. l don’t understand what these two women see in this waffler as you called him. Right now he’s thinking Brooke is lying about the CPS thing but how will he react when he finds out the truth? Y
While bold has had some good storylines as of late this one is a downer. Ridge is one of the most arrogant obnoxious characters in daytime he makes you root for dollar bill and those scenes of Taylor running away from him were pathetic these characters are supposed to be late fifties and are acting like 90210 high schoolers and even worse is the parent trap nonsense of steffy and Thomas get a life I’m really rooting for bill and Li and it’s a shame that Rena sofer wasn’t given a better offer she’s gold bold there has got to be more than this boring triangle
OK I haven’t watched B&B for over 20 years but I had to post when I saw this. I simply can’t believe the Ridge/Brooke vs Ridge/Taylor is still going on. OMG
I have waited 3 decades for this to happen. I kind of wish it was the original characters, but I’ll take it. I know someone used Brooke’s voice on that call, but for now this win for Taylor is sweet.
Brad your giving me whip lash! No reflections on any of the actors but TK comes out of his coma with KA Taylor . These are the things that have always bugged me about Brooke who sleeps with their daughters husband and has a child then she has sex against a wall with Hopes boyfriend at a party because she thought he was Ridge!! Really! I was hoping for a new path for Taylor but yet Deacon would have been Brookes hand me downs.
I do love that Brad is still doing remotes stunning scenery
I haven’t watched this show for at least 15 years because of the lack of character development.These people are now close to if not in their sixties I just read this recap and can’t believe that they are still doing Ridge/Taylor/ Brooke!!! I don’t know how anyone can sit through this show.
It’s totally crazy!! If it’s Brooke, Ridge & Taylor, it’s Steffy, Hope & Liam. How many triangles can a show have!
This storyline is more than tired. Brooke should have evolved to be stronger and tougher after Stephanie died, giving Brooke her blessing. Why is Brooke painted as bad or troubled anymore? She is 60! Ridge has been written into a loser. His family are cruel and selfish and entitled. I just feel no empathy for them. Brooke and Bill make a more attractive and vibrant pair. Make them the Victor and Nikki of B&B and the new center. The Forrester family is no longer interesting.
Since B n B thrives on triangles I would love for this to be the last hoorah for this tired trio. It hurts without the original Ridge ( Moss) and Taylor ( tylo) . Time to retire these three and plunge. The Hope and Steffy triangle needs to mature up and introduce a new young teen triangle to grow into the show as leads! I thought there was tons of potential with Zende and Nicole and her sister because it reminded me of how beautiful Hunter, Ron and Katherine were when we first met those three. You could nt keep your eyes off them.But when all left and Zende returned with the new actor it fizzled with Paris . A new Latino trio maybe with some coming up in the world like the Logan’s would be refreshing and needed.
About time for Ridge and Taylor, Ridge needs to stand up to Brook on her constant bashing of Thomas and her meddling in Douglas’s life, like wanting him to forget the kiss he saw with Santa and trying to make Hope his only legal parent, Regardless of who made the CPS Call, Brook is not innocent of her judgement or threat.
Good luck I think they have great chemistry KA & TK but I am very sad because it will always end up with Brooke! If I was a shrink I would say severe problems decide which you want and let’s end the cycle of destruction only show I watch but I think I’m ready to fold it in ! I love KA and TK chemistry wonderful lord of fun but time to fold it in ! If grown ups are going to play the game let’s just close the story ! I think all of them are tired of this
I adore all of them and gosh bless them for putting up with this but KA and TK do have chemistry off the charts
TK and KA have lot’s of a calmer chemistry. Lots of kindness w/o turmoil.
Wait! When did they recast Hunter Tylo?
How can anyone watch this and not know how it will end? When it comes out what Thomas has done, Ridge will be guiltily back with Brooke, unless she’s already being consoled by Bill, Now, that’s what I call destiny , by default.
Let’s just cut go the chase when Eric realizes what Thomas has done, all he’ll will break loose, including his neck when his dad learns the truth.
Ridge did not really choose Taylor, he was pushed into it by his interfering kids, which is going to hurt Taylor more in the end. Oh, what a tangled web we weave, etc,etc.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Has Dylan’s Mystery Caller/Stalker Been Revealed to Be an Alive Luna Nozawa?
We have another scream machine on her hands at The Bold and the Beautiful after the dramatic ending of the May 1 episode, and that would be Dylan (Sydney Bullock)!
B&B is finally making some headway on just who was the person behind the mystery call that Dylan received telling her they have some “unfinished business.” At the time of the mysterious call, it was clear that the voice was altered to disguise the true identify of the person on the the other line.
On today’s show, after Dylan and Electra (Laneya Grace) exchange words in the wardrobe room about Dylan wanting to rebuild their trust and friendship and how Electra has issues stemming from way back trusting anyone after what Remy (Christian Weissmanm) did to her by befriending her and then plastering deep fake nude photos of her across social media.

The timing of Electra bringing up Remy is also interesting to us, as we had previously reported now that Christian Weissmann is back and on on contract with The Bold and the Beautiful, he’s already teased that Remy has another connection to someone on the canvas, which many are still believing its Dylan.
At the end of the episode, after Electra leaves the room, Dylan hears noises coming from behind the dress rack. She asks, “Jamie” is that with you? After no answer and a bit more hangar and dress ruffling, a figure steps out behind it, while Dylan is looking down at her tablet trying to get back to work.
When Dylan looks up, she lets out a scream that could be heard to Nebraska, as viewers see partial view of what looks to be a woman with long dark hair from the back. Dylan in shock, says, “It’s you!” We fade to black.
So, what’s going on here? Is the reason the caller said to her that we have “unfinished business” because on Monday, it will be revealed to actually be an alive and well, Luna (Lisa Yamada)? Did the two strikes some sort of deal, that allowed Dylan to help Luna escape after Luna supposedly died after Dylan ran her down with her car, which was all off-screen? Another theory, is the mystery caller is Remy and he is doing some sort of Luna fakeout on Dylan for a yet to be revealed reason.
What do you think is going on? Did Lisa Yamada just make an on-screen return to The Bold and the Beautiful? Share your thoughts and theories below, but first check out our recent interview from back in March on the Michael Fairman Channel when Lisa who attended the BBTV app launch party.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Nick Confesses His Drug Problem to Victor; Joshua Morrow, Mark Grossman, Eric Braeden Bring the Newman Bond
When The Young and the Restless can deliver an emotional side to their stories and their family dynamics, it usually makes for some great scenes delivered by their A-list cast.
Such was the case on the Friday, May 1 episode when Adam (Mark Grossman) and Nick (Joshua Morrow) returned to Genoa City and gave their father, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), an update on what had gone down with Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) in Las Vegas.
As Victor questioned, “What the hell happened?” Nick piped up, “We both made mistakes along the way, but we’re here now and we’re sorry for giving you so much worry on top of everything else that you’re dealing with,” which was in reference to Victor trying to reclaim his company Newman Enterprises et al.

NICK’S CONFESSION
Next, Nick, explains one of the ways he messed up while trying to go after Matt Clark, when he admitted to this father with tears in his eyes, “That’s one of the ways I messed up … I took Fentanyl willingly. Some of it was because of Matt, but most of it was on me. I was in a lot of pain, dad, after my accident, I was burning through my prescription meds really quickly after I left the hospital. I could see that it was becoming a problem. But honestly, I thought that I could manage it. I was wrong. I was out in LA and Matt had taken Noah (Lucas Adams) and Sienna (Tamara Braun) and he gave me this bag of pills and said I could use it to trade for information. When I went out to that drug warehouse, he was trying to convince me and Sharon (Sharon Case) that Noah was a drug addict. I just put the pills in my pocket of my jacket and I came back to Genoa City and I was in a lot of pain, dad, and I was wearing that jacket. I put my hands in the pocket and the pills were there.”
Nick sadly added, “I was desperate. I couldn’t get anymore prescription meds, so I took the fentanyl I’m deeply ashamed that I was so weak, but all I can do is stand here and tell you the truth that I’m going to make this right and I’ll get better.”
BROTHER TO BROTHER
Adam stood up for his brother and reconfirmed to Victor the plan for help Nick through his pill addiction, “Nick is already on his way to doing that. Sharon has set up an appointment with an outpatient facility. He’s going to do the meetings and he’s going to push through this better than ever.”

Courtesy/CBS
“You should also know that the only reason I’m standing here is because of Adam,” Nick confessed to Victor. “Every time I fell, you were there to pick me up. You risked your life to save me, and that’s not something I will ever forget.”
In the climatic and emotional ending of the scene, Nick in tears admits his shame to his dad, who comes in to give him hug. Nick says, “I’m so sorry. I know that this is the last thing you or this family needs.”
All three actors, Joshua Morrow, Mark Grossman and Eric Braeden, were excellent in this exchange in their scenes, but at its epicenter continues to be the Emmy-worthy performances by Y&R MVP, Joshua Morrow. Nick’s heartbreaking journey and fall from grace with his pill addiction problem has finally shown the clinks in the armor of the man who is always on the ready to help others … now he needs to let others help him through this. Can we do it?
So, what did you think of the scenes between the Newman man featuring Joshua, Mark and Eric on the Friday episode of Y&R? And though who watched also know that at the very end, Matt Clark who clearly has been injured wakes up from being conked out, so there is more revenge to come on the Newman clan. Share your thoughts below, but take a look at these scenes from a Canadian viewers who saw them air yesterday.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Sophia Seemingly Plans to End Her Life, But Not Before Setting Fire to Johnny’s Apartment With Him Trapped Inside
The final few moments of the Thursday, April 30 episode of Days of our Lives, will pave the way, to what just may be the end of Sophia Choi’s (Rachel Boyd) life, but not as you may think!
After an unhinged Sophia paid a visit to Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), maced him in the eyes, knocked him out and then tied up to a chair, now conscious, she lets him know that she holds him responsible for all the trouble and trauma she has gone through from adopting her child, and her being sent to a mental institution.
So instead of the unregistered gun Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) gave her to finish off Johnny, Sophia sets up a plan to light candle, use nail polish remover and turn on the gas on the stove to ultimately create a mass explosion, which although Johnny pleaded to her not to that to all the innocent people inside his apartment building, she doesn’t seem to care.

FIERY FACE OFF
The plan was supposed to be, after she takes care of Johnny she will toss the gun in the Salem River, then focus on payback to Holly Jonas before leaving town to start a new life.
Now, Sophia makes her exit, leaving Johnny to be a few moments away from an explosion or gas inhalation, when Chanel (Raven Bowens) comes home after awaiting the results of her mammogram. She sees Johnny tied up, as he panics and tells her to put out the flame on the candle, things go awry, and a fire has begun and everything may go up in flames with Johnny and Chanel inside.

A BROKEN SOPHIA
Back in her room, Sophia breaks down after reading the social media comments about her, she planted, and then starts writing a suicide or farewell note which says. “I’m tired of begging for forgiveness for my mistakes. All I wanted was to move forward, to be loved and understood. But it’s clear that I was never going to get that. Holly Jonas said that I was dead to her. So, as her former BFF, I’m going to make her dream a reality.”

A DEADLY TRAP
Now, the fate of Johnny, Chanel and Sophia will be revealed on tomorrow’s May 1st cliffhanger, which may be the end of Sophia when she crosses paths with Kirsten at the bridge near the river. We do know Rachel Boyd is no longer appearing in the show credits section and is now off contract with the soap.
So, what did you think of the climatic final moments of DAYS? What did you think of the performance of Rachel Boyd as Sophia Choi? Let us know via the comment section.
