THE GOLDEN BACHELOR: Gerry Chooses The Final Three For Hometowns: Are You Happy With His Picks?
When the dust settled on Thursday night’s episode of The Golden Bachelor, three women were sent home, and three remained. The ones still in the running for the final rose have made it to the coveted hometowns, where next week, Gerry will meet their families.
As viewers have seen, the rose ceremonies are more of gut-punch for the contestant vying for love then on traditional episodes of the ‘Bachelor’ franchise. Gerry, the ‘Golden Bachelor’, is consistently aware of how devastating it must be for the women to learn he has not chosen them to continue in his journey to find love later in life.
The women, many of whom haven’t felt the yearnings of falling in love for the first time in years, also appear more heartbroken, making this reality series much more touching than its usual counterparts.
On this episode, Faith gets a one-on-one with Gerry. The date cemented Faith in Gerry’s heart as one of the frontrunners. That was most true while on the boat, following their helicopter ride … to the boat! There, Faith admitted some details about her past. She told Gerry, “I lived a lot of time alone, like a homeless teen. I didn’t have a mother and a father. That kind of childhood made me think, maybe there’s something in me that’s not whole.”

Faith went on to share that the trauma from her childhood has followed her throughout her life, including when it comes to the men she’s dated. But with Gerry, she can see a relationship with a man who is emotionally open and healthy. Gerry loves hearing that and she gets a rose.
On the group date with the remaining five contestants, Gerry wants to see their ‘inner-child’ so he takes then to the Santa Monica Pier for games, rides and chats. Leslie, has been struggling through the whole episode for the deep feelings she has developed for Gerry and is worried it may not be enough to get her through to the hometowns. She even tells him her fears.

After the group date, Gerry informs the women, he can’t give out the group date rose. He needs more time to think about his feelings and who he wants to include in the all-important hometowns. That means, at the rose ceremony, Gerry will give out the last two roses.
Ellen, who has professed her love for Gerry to him, is about to be blindsided. Leading into the episode, the producers of the show edited a promo which led viewers to believe that when Gerry says “You’re my girl” it was to Ellen, but it was not! She further sticks her foot in her mouth talking with Gerry on the group date: “I am absolutely falling head over heels in love with you. I can’t wait to have my children, my best friend Roberta meet you. I know they would adore you as much as I do.”

Now it comes down to the rose ceremony. A tear-filled Gerry gives out roses to Leslie and Theresa. That means, that Ellen, Sandra and Susan are sent home. Gerry asks Ellen if he can walk her out. As they sit in front of the SUV, before it takes her away, Gerry tells her that this was “the most difficult decision” of the night to send her home. However, he just had to make the right decision for his future. As a parting statement, he says to Ellen, “I hope you stay positive. Because that’s you.” Ellen has had enough and says, ‘she’s gotta go.’

Inside the SUV, Ellen shares, “I just thought he was the one. This experience has been one of the best experiences of my life. I have a lot more optimism about love and the possibility of finding love at this stage in my life.” If they decide to do a ‘Golden Bachelorette’, Ellen might be the perfect choice!
So, who are you rooting for to be the woman Gerry chooses for the final rose? Are you hoping it’s Theresa? Leslie? or Faith? What did you think of Ellen’s elimination? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
As much as I liked Ellen, she became a bit needy and showed desperation in the end. Always better to show interest but keep some independence as well.
Funny, these are the three I like the least, especially Theresa, the big mouth that ran and told Gerry about that other woman telling her to ” zip it” because she confided everything she and Gerry did and how he came to her room to talk and console her. She didn’t tell or confide in her out of meanness or bragging, just had a big mouth .
Just adding that prolonging the agony is not helping. He’ll be stuck with one of these women, glad it isn’t me making the choice. Don’t care for any of them, least of all Theresa.
General Hospital
Could Kristen Vaganos and Josh Kelly Be Exiting ‘General Hospital?’

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

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.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Finn Blows a Gasket After Steffy Reveals She’s Gone Ahead and Become Carter and Daphne’s Surrogate

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.
