THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Thomas Takes Baby Douglas After Finally Learning He's The Baby Daddy!
Courtesy/CBS
Oh, what a tangled web weave on CBS’ The Bold and the Beautiful, and as all the soaps prepare to deliver some high stakes, emotional, and compelling drama during the important May Sweeps ratings period, B&B has a big reveal that has major consequences.
Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Caroline’s (Linsey Godfrey) secret that Thomas is the biological father of baby Douglas, and that the couple have been covering it up for months, finally comes back to bite them!
The path to the unraveling was quite intriguing: a doctor who has some key info who dies after being hit by an an upcoming truck, which Ridge denies he had any part of. Katie (Heather Tom) who puts the pieces together from a conversation with Caroline, and overhearing Dr. Wolin and Ridge in a confrontation, and Ridge finally telling Thomas the truth! On Friday’s episode, Thomas realized he is indeed Douglas’ father. This sets the stage for a major fallout this week.
In the latest promo from the CBS Daytime drama, Thomas has for all intent and purpose kidnapped Douglas! Will he go on the run with his son? Will he fight for custody? Will he eventually just return the baby to Ridge and Caroline, and not claim any rights to the young boy? So much at stake.
On-Air On-Soaps spoke with Pierson Fode’ on the red carpet at the 43rd Annual Daytime Emmys, where we suggested a week ago that Thomas go on the run and take the baby! Little did we know that our guess would come true!
Watch the B&B game-changer promo which also features the Liam/Steffy/Wyatt triangle and then the Thomas baby daddy drama, followed by our interview with Pierson. Then weigh-in: What do you hope will be Thomas’ next move now that the truth is out?
Thomas is trash who violated Caroline. Douglas belongs with Caroline & Ridge.
Answer me one question where is Mom Taylor??? Not there for Steffys wedding not there for this reveal you know Mom’s are needed if just for a short story arc. For all the Mom’s out there Happy Mothers Day we are treated like trash on the soaps but not in reality we are needed and we are wanted I talked every day to my daughter when she was in the womb and yes they hear you!!!!!!
Thomas is such an ICKY IDIOT!!!!! Moron.
THOMAS…START DRIVING AND DO NOT COME BACK….ANOTHER HORRIBLE STORY LINE….
This show is clicking on all cylinders. I have only been watcjhing for three months, but it is great day in and day out. The only problem is that I wish it was an hour. I like Thomas with Caroline. Since I do not know a lot of the back story, I would like to see Ridge and Brooke give it one more shot.
Since Ridge was recast with Thorsten, Ridge hasn’t really been with Brooke. They tried having them together when Ridge first returned to the show, but it wasn’t the same as when Ronn Moss played Ridge. I think that’s why Ridge and Brooke haven’t reunited–change in actor playing the character.
I don’t think the road to the reveal was intriguing. I think Katie was a nosy busy body. What’s next? Cooking lemon bars laced with gin?
I don’t like Thomas. What he did to Caroline was wrong. She needs to recognize that too. Thomas is upset, sure, but he needs to understand he crossed the line and he should let Ridge and Caroline raise Douglas and be glad he was arrested for rape.
That said, I do like B&B and it’s been really good lately!!!!
Agree Katie has been a nosy busybody. And a Thomas has always bothered me as he seems to creep around all of the time from Caroline, originally, to always being around the baby.
I think Thomas was showing TOO much interest in the child. Douglas is Steffy’s half-brother too, but she’s not muscling in like Thomas. And I don’t buy this ‘I felt a special connection’ thing Thomas was saying. You felt a connection because you were told he’s your half-brother and you have the hots for his mother.
B&B for me is getting more and more frustrating to watch. They seem to rehash stories over and over. Hope Liam Wyatt triangle now Stephie Liam and Wyatt I know it is a soap but come on your fiance “leaves” you and yet you are married a to his step brother upon the return, The soap plays musical bed with the Forresters Spensers and Logans.
Also for 1/2 hour soap they have more flashbacks than any other soap. As the views of LA are just filler less time for writers to do what they are suppose to do
I was, weirdly, diggin Liam and Quinn. I cant really judge her age cause the actress looks great for whatever age she is, but they could have Quinn become preggers by Liam. He could be torn with inner turmoil in trying to decide whether to be with Quinn for the sake of the baby or cut them both out of his life. The thing is they had remarkable chemistry together onscreen. Plus Liam did genuinely love Quinn/Eve at one point. Just sayin.
I am ” weirdly” with you on this. You knew at some point it was going to implode but there was something quite sweet about how they got along.
I too liked Liam and Quinn. And she was wearing pastels!
Rena is in her late-forties. I too am hoping Quinn is pregnant. The story could be amazing. Bill would totally freak!
I started to watch it only once a week. I can’t stand Rick and his “your not a real Forester” and his constantly trying to take over the Forester Creations. I wish he would get it in his damn head Eric bought that house for Stephany and she brought up their kids their. He is Brooks & Eric’s son and was not brought up there so it is NOT his house. It belongs to Eric, Ridge,Thorn, and I think two others. Eric should get some backbone & throw that little punk out until he grows up. Oh by the way since Nichole is having his baby and Myia can’t have children will he consider this kid a real Forester?
It looks like the current run of Lucas Adams (Noah) and Tamara Braun (Sienna) on The Young and the Restless is coming to an end, after the Monday, August 3 edition of the CBS daytime drama revealed that Noah and Sienna are leaving Genoa City and heading back to Los Angeles.
In the storyline, Noah informed his mother, Sharon (Sharon Case) and half-sister Mariah (Camryn Grimes) that he and Sienna made the decision to move back to the West Coast to put distance between themselves and Matt Clark (Roger Howarth). Although Noah did not say it was a permanent move, he did assure his mom that once Matt is hopefully gone from Genoa City they could return.
However, as previewed already on the video teaser for this week’s episodes of Y&R (see below), it appears Noah left Genoa City’s The Shadow Room to be run by a returning Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian). So with that, coupled with today’s episode, it would appear the move could wind up being more permanent.

COMINGS AND GOINGS
Adams made his Y&R debut on November 4, 2025 as the successor to Rory Gibson who last played Noah on-screen in April of 2023. Earlier in 2025, Gibson took over the role of Michael Corinthos on Genera Hospital replacing Chad Duell, who stepped away from the part after 15 years.
Braun who played Adam’s mother on Days of Our Lives when she was Ava Vitali and he was Tripp Dalton, first appeared on Y&R back on October 14, 2025, where we soon learned she had become Noah’s lover as the new character, Sienna Bacall. It should be noted, Adams was on contract with the number #1 soap, while Braun has been on recurring status.
With Josh Griffith now exited as head writer of The Young and the Restless, and the newly announced co-head writing team of Jamey Giddens and Dan O’Connor having taken his place and starting their new tenure this week, it will be interesting to see how the duo resets the show, and if a Noah and Sienna return is in the cards for the future or not.
So, what do you think about the seeming departures of Lucas Adams and Tamara Braun from The Young and the Restless? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, check out our recent live chat with Tamara and Lucas on the Michael Fairman Channel.
Rosie O’Donnell revealed that she plans to head back to a seat at the table of ABC’s morning talk show The View.
The announcement came during Monday’s episode of The Tangle Podcast where she shared she will participate in “in whatever way they want” her or “just as a guest” for its upcoming 30th season.
The View’s season 30 will kick-off this fall in September. O’Donnell explained, “They’re bringing back all the hosts, I think. And, you know, I’m pretty proud of that show, what it’s become and how it really speaks to the people and to politics.”

ROSIE ON HER PREVIOUS GO-ROUNDS ON THE VIEW
As fans of The View know, O’Donnell famously had two different one-year stints on the talk show in 2007 and again in 2014- 2015. She often feuded with then co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
However, during her discussion with host, Kyle Ridley on The Tangle Podcast, O’Donnell also noted she often had tense moments with longtime moderator and anchor, Whoopi Goldberg.
O’Donnell also expressed, “Many, many people got the short end of the stick there. It was, you know, it was a factory where people were being churned in and out and their tenuous security, nobody got to be calm. It also was a show at the time that was run by a man. A show created by a woman, for women, about women, and the man was deciding what we should talk about. And that didn’t sit right with me, you know.”
Back in 2023, Brooke Shields had asked Rosie on her podcast, Now What? with Brooke Shields, about how she felt on her two stints at The View and all the controversy that surrounded it. Rosie at that time, stated, “I know this, it’s not the best use of my talent to get in a show where I have to argue and defend basic principles of humanity and kindness. It was not something I’d ever do again.”
You can check out the clip with Rosie and Kyle Ridley discussing her return to The View in some form for its upcoming 30th season below.
Then weigh-in: Would you be excited to see Rosie, even for a one-day or a week guest stint on the upcoming celebratory season of The View, or not so much? Let us know via the comment section.
