Now that Thomas’ (Matthew Atkinson) duplicity and machinations are all out and the open, and Taylor (Krista Allen) also kept her mouth shut right before her wedding to Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), the question on B&B fans minds is … what on earth will Ridge to do next?

On Wednesday’s episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Ridge really lit into his son.  After finding out Thomas called Child Protective Services, pretending to be Brooke (by using Douglas’ voice-changing app), Ridge fumes that his son is in need of some serious help; adding that what he did was sick and twisted. Ridge tells Thomas he is also going to talk to Eric (John McCook) about Thomas’ place at Forrester Creations.

In his overwhelming sense of betrayal, Ridge yells at his son: “I gave you life! I gave you love, I gave you support, and you took it all. Is there anything else you can possibly take from me? I was so proud of you! It makes me sick to look at you.”  Those words stung and Thomas was left in tears in another excellent performance by Matthew Atkinson.

Now, Ridge had a major decision to make – what to do about his bride, Taylor.  No matter how much Taylor, Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Thomas tried to make Ridge realize that he belongs with Taylor, and that this is an opportunity for them to be a family again, Ridge is torn.

Previously, Taylor admitted to not fessing up to Ridge about what she learned right before the nuptials (that Thomas made the call to CPS as Brooke) saying she was scared and confused since she was one step away from becoming his wife. “My God Ridge, I love you so much,” she says. Ridge tells Taylor that he loves her too, but he’s going to set this situation straight.  Next thing you know, Ridge walks out as a devastated Taylor is left crying on the couch with Steffy trying to comfort her, and Thomas’ life imploding before him.

Next, Brooke gets a surprise visitor at her door when Ridge arrives. A shocked Brooke listens as Ridge tells her that he learned something today that she needs to know. He starts with, “I should have had more faith in you.”

Ridge goes on to explain that he was so certain, that she was the one who called CPS on Thomas.  Brooke is stunned!  She tells Ridge she never made such a call. That’s when Ridge shares he knows that now as it was Thomas who manipulated the situation to blow up their marriage. Ridge claims he knew in his heart of hearts that Brooke would never do something like this. Before the episode fades to black, Ridge admits to Brooke, “I am more sorry than I can say.”

Now let us know, what do you think will happen next? Will Brooke be so hurt that Ridge had such little faith in her that she will not take him back? Will Ridge head back to the Forresters and get married to Taylor, anyway?  Comment below.  But, first check out the final scene between Brooke and Ridge from yesterday’s B&B.

writers please make brooke show him the door ridge is the absolute worst you never told her the reason-you were upset in the first place you have carter bring ridiculous annulment papers when you have been married 26 times and have a son show brooke being strong and let her tell ridge later much later and no stallion or deacon either

AMEN! The show would go in wonderful new directions with that plot twist … Ridge and Brooke are not the end game. Make her strong, powerful, rich, fascinating. KKL should be the new Stephanie. Does anyone remember the passing of the torch when Stephanie died? Brooke could’ve so amazing. Ridge just drags her down. Actually as written, Ridge drags everyone down. This voice app story is as bad as the digital picture frame revelation of a simple kiss with Bill. These people are smarter than that. They act like children and are so hypocritical. Move on with their lives, writers. We as viewers can accept it.

For Brooke to even utter the word “decency” today in her holier than thou attitude was just disgusting. Those of us who have watched from the beginning know that Brooke hasn’t been decent a day in her life.

Quite a few characters have done things not to be proud of: RIDGE, Taylor, Thomas. Steffy,Liam, Justin. Carter and Quinn and I am sure many more I forgot to mention. I am gad the writers didn’t have her falling back into Ridge’s arm. Let Taylor have her dream wedding and her need to bring her family back together. I could see if her (KIDS) were children, but they are 30something!! Give me a break!

Yes she deserves her wedding.

right on

It would of been better if the B&B had made Ridge and Brooke the new Forrestors monarchs as Eric and Stepanine were. Then start the drama in the younger generation with all the children and bring back the children that are gone.

I guess I’m lucky. Since I’m relatively new to B&B I haven’t seen the baggage Brooke has accumulated over the years. Seems she’s matured, and is liking who she sees in the mirror. So I was really impressed by her “respect” speech.

rose
You have no idea the escalator these people have been on for years. Ridge did owe her an explanation,especially when she’d ask him a question right out and he’d just stand there like an idiot. I don’t think either woman deserves the jerk he’s become.

Final word this is all on Ridge he needs to be in serious therapy. Saying that I think I’m going to get off this train wreck !! Perry Mason reruns here I come!! Ha!

Recently read an article where Ronn Moss, the previous Ridge says that, that should have been the end of the Ridge character when he left. I thought then, how selfish of him but now Iam starting to agree with him. Thorsten Kaye was good on AMC but as Ridge Forrester, he’s fallen short and very disappointing.

it is the story line that is crazy, not the acting.

Ridge needs a long break from Brooke and Taylor.

He can’t be without a woman. Some people hate being alone for one minute and he should have stayed away from Taylor since he’s not capable of keeping his promise to her and Steffy when he said he’d protect her mother’s heart. He’s a real jerk.

From Broke.

Stephanie Forrester can’t be replaced!There is no Forrester Creations without Stephanie father money to start Forrester Creations, but it’s very sad that her husband makes his mistress and her children believe that his success was all because of his hard work when that was far from the truth. Eric need’s to share with everyone that getting Stephanie pregnant was the best thing that ever happened in his life because, Stephanie father was a wealthy man that completely loved his daughter and first grandson (Ridge), so he gave Stephanie the money to start Forrester Creations and protected her and their children legally should he ever divorce Stephanie. Forrester Creations will not be split, but owned by Stephanie Douglas Forrester, her children, and grandchildren or if Stephanie passes away the business belongs to Stephanie’s children and grandchildren. Its time Eric Forrester give Stephanie, her children, and grandchildren a public apology for disrespecting his marriage to Stephanie and most importantly disrespecting how much Stephanie love was so important to her father. Eric, you have been too comfortable with the mother daughter combo during the course of you’re marriage to Stephanie. It’s time Ridge no longer walk-in the shadow of you, but restore the one thing that mattered most to his mother “family”, and doing it with Taylor will be a better direction for the show which also includes Eric giving all his shares to Steffy who will inherit Queen Stephanie position respectfully and rightfully because, Eric and Ridge is getting old this will turn the tables best. Meanwhile, I haven’t forgotten about Thomas and Ridge’s real father its time Ridge’s biological father put Eric Forrester in his place, and help his grandson Thomas. Brooke Logan is just like her mother Beth Logan untasteful!

Tired of broken record Brooke!!! Please no more reconciliations between them !! Krista Allen is new fresh funny.. new

General Hospital

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

Published

By

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.

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.
