THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Thomas Goes Over A Cliff! If He Survives, Will They Redeem Him?
Now here’s a ‘cliff’-hanger moment for a Friday soap, that brought with it what could be a game-changing moment, certainly for the relationship of Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), and what looks like for Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson). For months, Thomas had become more obsessed and unhinged over keeping Hope (Annika Noelle) from her child Beth and away from the man she truly loves, Liam (Scott Clifton).
Many of Thomas’ acts have been truly despicable. But now after a wake-up call conversation with his son, Douglas, and an attempt to set things right with Hope, who wants nothing to do with him, things take a turn when at Steffy’s, Hope screams at Thomas to stay away from her. He tries to explain he just wants to talk to her, but she wants nothing to do with him.
We then see Brooke making it to the house, and seeing the ensuing argument, She fears the worse and becomes in-between her daughter and her stepson, as Ridgeis also heading to the house to make sure nothing happens between Thomas and Hope.
But then, in a push/pull moment, Thomas goes over the cliff. Brooke is mortified. And from the promo for next week’s B&B, Thomas is unconscious and might not make it, as Ridge sits by his bedside.
So, what is this twist all about? Either, Thomas choreographed the fall to gain sympathy and knew exactly what he was doing, or it was an accident, that might look like an attempted murder for now, and that will cause trouble between Brooke and Ridge, but also, and perhaps through testing in the hospital it might reveal, Thomas had a brain tumor causing him to act erratically? Or, could it be that on Friday’s episode Thomas truly had a quick come-to-Jesus moment and had already realized the horrors of his way and was truly trying to set things right? Or, could someone sneak into hospital room and snuff him out with a pillow? Many theories!
Now watch below the final moments when Thomas takes a major tumble and next week’s promo for B&B. Then, weigh-in: What do you think the show will do with the character of Thomas now? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
Phyllis Newman survived a deadly fall. Drucilla Winters…not so lucky. Thomas was found. He’s still breathing. So there’s that. Dru was swallowed by a whale that swallowed a chair, a perpetually lit lantern, several books and years worth of sealed MRE’s. LOL.
I did not like Dru or the gal that played her.I was glad to see her go. I have liked Thomas over the years, even with his misdeeds, but they made us hate him this time around. When Brooke pushed him, all I could say was good! I would have done the same to protect my daughter.
In my smallest voice and most pleasant smile…”Ummmm. Enjoy your weekend”?

Thanks for the smile, I think, but does it mean you agree or think I’m rotten for my comment?
Neither. Dru could be nerve wracking and Victoria Rowell even more exasperating with her constant off air on set diva act. Remember that whole Neil and Dru controversy she got going over a wedding dress Nikki married Victor in. LOL. But I definitely liked the character. And it was a mistake getting rid of her. If she wasn’t found then Sharon shouldn’t have been found either. I mistakenly said Phyllis. Oh well.
Actually meant Sharon.
I wish days had even a sliver of the b n b budget!$$$ If it was Salem , Thomas would ve fallen over the bush in that park past the horton square that no one else seems to use except the characters that tell out load secrets for others to eavesdrop on!
Wow. B n b still bringing those 80s big outdoor expensive shoots! Thank you to the ptb for making soaps still look good in 2019!
I dont disagree with you. There is no reason why soaps that shoot in LA can’t do day location shoots. They dont even have to travel and they dont have to haul large equipment anymore, with handheld cameras and such. But it would be nice if B and B would take some of that budget and hire a headwriter who knows how to write coherent stories, or…stories even. ANY kind of story. This show is just an endless merry go round of near incest triangles that ultimately go nowhere.
Each and every BlurB makes me laugh, Minion!
Ha Ha To be fair, the house is owned by Brad Bell so he may be letting them film there for free or at a reduced price. And I think since B&B is a half hour, they can do more location shoots (smaller cast).
It looked like Brooke pushed Thomas over the cliff. This will push Brooke and Ridge apart. Where is Taylor???!!! Maybe the conk on his head will “right” Thomas.
Have not been watching DNB for long but do not know of all of Thomases miss deeds. Started watching when him and Caroline and Rich realized Dunkel us was it. Then they recast Thomas with the person I do not like and he’s doing all these horrific things that I do not think our old Thomas would have done.
Sorry for all the miss spellings. No I meant BNB and that I meant Ridge and Douglas.
Thomas tried to blow Rick up in the past. Then he slept with Caroline when she was basically out of it from sleeping pills or something. He does have shady dealings in his past.
The character is so creepy.
American Idol
AMERICAN IDOL: Was it Shady of Former Contestant Alyssa Raghu to Sneak in on Best Friend Julia Davos’ Audition and Score a Golden Ticket?
Show business is really cutthroat and it was fully on display on Sunday night’s latest episode of American Idol. We’re not sure after the dust settled if we should be more upset with the judges: Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan and Katy Perry, or former contestant Alyssa Raghu.
But, here is what went down. 20-year-old Julia Davo, auditioned for the judges with a performance of David Bowie’s “Life on Mars?” She also had mentioned that she is best friends and roommates with former ‘Idol’ contestant Alyssa Raghu.
The judges felt Davo needed more work, and should come back and audition again, once she has honed in on her vocals a bit more while allowing for her voice to grow. However, when the judges gave their verdict, Raghu was now in the audition room. They told Raghu, “When she’s absolutely ready in your eyes, bring her back to us.”
It was at the point, there was a swerve by Raghu when she addressed the judges, “I know you said that my voice was going to grow until it was 21. You said that when I was, like, 15. Just for giggles, I’d love to sing you something.”
At the point, Katy Perry gave her the OK to sing. But, while viewers initially thought at home, that she may just be singing for the judges to prove that she has become a better singer, she was actually angling to get in the competition, once again.
“I think this was a really weird plot twist,” Perry confessed after Raghu’s performance of Mariah Carey’s “My All.” Katy added,“I think you could go in. Do I think you could win it? No, personally. If you were going to go to Idol one more time, I want to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you could win.” So with that, Katy gave Raghu a “no.” However, Luke and Lionel were being generous and gave her two votes as “yes.” Therefore, Raghu received a golden ticket right in front of her friend who received a “no.”
Davo tried her best to say how happy she was that Raghu is receiving another chance, because as she said, “She deserves this.” But in the end, it was awkward and uncomfortable to watch.
Alyssa’s previous journey on Idol went something like this: She made it to the Top 50 of Season 16 but was eliminated by the end of Hollywood Week. She returned for Season 17, making it all the way to the Top 8.
Watch the auditions of Davo and Raghu below.
Now let us know, do you think Raghu should have auditioned after her friend did not receive a golden ticket? Should the judges have allowed Alyssa to sing and then vote to put her in the competition for the third time? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Explains Part of Where He Has Been; What Do You Think Will be Revealed as the Rest of the Story?
GH fans received a part of the backstory of just where Jason (Steve Burton) has been for the last two plus years on the Thursday, March 16th episode of the ABC daytime drama series.
In story, as Jason (Steve Burton) is hiding out at the Quartermaine boat house, Michael (Chad Duell) brings him a change of clothes and when Jason lifts up his sweatshirt, and is in then in only a tank-top, his arm is exposed showing his tattoo. Michael is shocked to see that on Jason (in real life, Burton now has that tattoo).
When Michael questions Jason as to where he has been for over two years after the tunnel collapsed on him, Jason explains. He tells Michael he found his way out of the tunnel. However, on his way out there were two gunmen waiting fo him who kidnapped him and he was taken prisoner.
Next, Jason shares he was flown out of Greece and ended up in a windowless room. He reveals a man wanted him to do a job and had leverage on him to force him to agree to take it. When Michael asks Jason what exactly was the job, he says he’s been working as a private military contractor, i.e., a mercenary.
On the night of Dante’s (Dominic Zamprogna) shooting, Jason explains he made his way to Port Charles and was working with the other shooter, Hamish. However, he was unaware that the target was Sonny (Maurice Benard). When Jason realized what was up, he made sure Hamish missed his shot. Michael inquires if Jason would have even come back to Port Charles if Sonny wasn’t the target.
At that point, Jason shared that the job he was given isn’t done, and if he doesn’t finish it, bad things will happen. At the end of the episode, Jason is having a flashback where it’s revealed he is in custody at Quantico and it’s John “Jagger” Cates (Adam J. Harrington) from the FBI who is holding him there. John tells Jason he has a recording proving RICO violations that will carrying a twenty-year sentence. We fade to black.
So, what do you think is really going on here? Jason looks to be working with John Cates and the FBI as part of a deal to bring someone to justice to get out of a 20-year sentence for RICO violations. But, who is the man that Jason and potentially John want to bring down? What did you think of the backstory of Jason’s two-year disappearance thus far? Share your thoughts in the comment section, But first, check out the key scenes from yesterday’s GH below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Carly and Jason’s Emotional Reunion Is Cut Short When John and Anna Arrive on the Scene
If you watch daytime drama and General Hospital you know that there is an unique bond and deep love between the characters of Carly Spencer and Jason Morgan. You also know that when Laura Wright (Carly) and Steve Burton (Jason) get together in scenes with high stakes and high drama, they deliver in spectacular fashion.
On today’s, Friday, March 8th episode of the ABC daytime drama series, Carly is in for quite the shock when her beloved Jason is standing right there in the dark and in her living room. For two years, Carly has grieved Jason’s ‘death’, only for him to be right before her.
With tears in his eyes, and just saying “Carly”, it stops her dead in her tracks. She runs towards Jason and they share an emotional reunion. You came back,” Carly cries. Jason says he is sorry it took so long to contact her. Problem is, Jason has been shot and is bleeding out and needs her help. Jason obviously had no where to go, and is only letting himself truly be known to Carly, because he can trust her with his life and vice-versa.
Carly goes to get a first-aid kit, and tells Jason to promise he won’t leave. He promises. But as he sits down on the couch, he is in bad shape. Carly returns as they clean the bullet wound area. Still in shock, Carly says, “How can you be here?”
Things get very touching when Carly tells Jason she wishes she could call her mom for help. Jason tells her not to call Bobbie. Just then, Carly says she can’t because her mother died. Jason goes, “Bobbie died?” As soon as the two were going to talk about it, there is pounding noises at Carly’s front door. It’s John (Adam J. Harrington) and Anna (Finola Hughes). Jason hides.
Anna asks Carly if they can come in. They show her the screen capture of Jason on the roof. Carly plays it very convincingly asking FBI agent Cates and Anna if this image of Jason is real. Anna confirms Jason is alive and they need to search her house. Carly firmly tells them they cannot search the house, but they tell her they have a warrant and don’t have to have her permission. Jason listens in from the staircase. We fade to black.
So, what did you think of the reunion scenes thus far between Carly and Jason and the performances of Laura Wright and Steve Burton? Share your thoughts via the comment section below. But first, check out the moment Carly and Jason saw each for the first time in two years.
