THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Ridge Chooses Taylor

By Michael Fairman

Published

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.

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.

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

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.

EMOTIONAL PERFORMANCES

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.
