The War Is On, Brother! Who Should Ultimately Win B&B's Hope's Heart? Liam or Wyatt?
Courtesy/CBS
The war is on between the Spencer brothers! Wyatt (Darin Brooks) is defiant and confident, Liam (Scott Clifton) thinks his long standing relationship with Hope (Kim Matula) will ultimately triumph! But the question is, who do The Bold and the Beautiful fans want to see Hope with?
Over the last few months, B&B has introduced a breath of fresh air into the Liam/Hope relationship with the entrance of Wyatt who could be the true spoiler !
In this new promo from CBS Daytime, Liam states with force to Wyatt about Hope, “She is my fiance’ and she is going to be my wife!” But Wyatt fires back, “Until then, game on, brother! Now you have got me to contend with, and I’m not going anywhere.”
Later in the promo Wyatt says to Hope, “It’s never been right between you and him, but it’s always been right between you and me!” Watch B&B’s new promo after the jump! Then, let us know, who do you want to win the war for Hope? Liam or Wyatt?
That’s a hard one. Wyatt is a breath of fresh air. I love this current triangle so much more than the last one… Liam deserves a ton of karma. But, I still always love the chemistry between Hope and Liam and think they are wonderful. Liam is much more appealing with Hope but, first Liam has to change BIG and don’t know if that’s coming or not.
Yes, this is a hard one I do think 2$BillJr. is such a breath of fresh air and love the when he calls Liam “granola boy”, It’s refreshing to have brothers again competing for a young woman…it so reminds me of the early, early days of BB when Bill was still writing the show with RidgeThorneCaroline.
BB is the best soap on the airwaves right now, I love when soap actually imparts lots of romance in story. Soaps just don’t do this romance well or at all most of time now days. When you have romance cluttering up the TV screen it creates conflict naturally and through the characters.
i don,t like LIAM he act much like BILL.
I like Liam he really love Hope and that who she need to be with not his oh nasty brother. Wyatt and his oh mother Quinn is up to no good money hungry she donted even like Hope just wanted her to make money for her and her nasty son Hope is nasty her self fooling with both brother I thought you would be better then your mother Brook set and example for other your women your age be a role model for someone ok.
Please stop the madness! I cannot stand Hope and Wyatt together. Break it up or I will stop watching the show. Let Hope and Liam finally be happy for a while. Hope got pregnant awfully quickly. Let it be Liam’s baby. Let Wyatt have a new love interest. I will have to stop watching the show if this story line continues. I have watched for years but I cannot take these two characters together. I will be totally done……and I have watched some ridiculous scenes over the years but this is terrible. Get new writers or something and don’t consider putting Wyatt and Hope together again……it has worn it self out.
I am hoping for Wyatt. He really sparkles when he is flirting with Hope.
I am not a long standing viewer but from what I have seen of the Liam-Hope relationship — it is boring. I also wonder if Liam loved Hope so much to begin with, how could be bear to marry Steffie when she got pregnant? He sure went back to Hope in a mad dash as soon as Steffie left him. Shades of his daddy?
Scott Clifton and Kimberly Matula have such great chemistry it’s hard not to root for Liam and Hope, but the way Liam has been written makes me want Hope to have a relationship with Wyatt before ending up with Liam, to “level the playing field”. Darin Brooks is such a great addition, and all three actors are playing this so well, that it’s hard not to be torn….just like Hope!
Hott is magic. Lope was a nice high school romance, but when they are together both characters regress to their high school personas. Time for Hope to move on to the newest Prince Charming. Besides if Wyatt doesn’t marry Hope…just get a chair next to Oliver and Thomas. Plus after Steffy and Liam, Hope and Liam are a pale imitation. So many reasons for Hott.
WYATT!!!!!! Hope never has and never will be Liam’s priority. He has never put her first. She only has half of his heart, steffy has the other half. If Steffy was back in town, and in the picture, he’d be torn again. Hope has been the one and only with Wyatt. She should choose him and let Liam be all alone, like he deserves!
I agree with your reasoning. Liam went back to Steffy one too many times for me to ever believe that he has given Hope 100% of his heart…or ever would…If Steffy comes back, Liam is back on the see-saw. Move on, Hope!
Although, Wyatt is being written kinda like a Bill clone. Right now, Wyatt has some of Bill’s more attractive qualities. In the future, though…He may take on some of Bill’s LESS ATTRACTIVE qualities. That is something Hope will have to “deal” with and it won’t be fun…anyway, that’s a “maybe” scenario. Still with Wyatt and Hope. 🙂
I do not care, but if B&B expands to an hour and pushes Y&R
to a half hour, I will be a fan for life!!!
…Why? What does that have anything to do with anything? Y&R will never be pushed to a half-hour program, and I seriously doubt B&B will be expanded to an hour. And, even if that happens, it won’t be at the cost of Y&R’s airtime. Y&R is currently the number 1 rated daytime drama and has been that way for decades. They won’t push it back just because they have a tyrant for and EP and the killer of ATWT is now joining their writing team.
Maybe split the difference and have them both 45 minutes.
Wyatt and Hope have a lot of chemistry. Wyatt brings out a fun, happy and loveable side of Hope.
Liam is the most horrible male character on B&B. Liam is nothing like Ridge. Ridge would never do the heartless and insensitive things Liam has done. Liam left his broken ex wife to chase after Hope. The excuse that Steffy left is just that, an excuse. Liam was more than excited to propose marriage to Hope within a month of Steffy losing the baby. I think Liam was happy that Steffy lost the baby and left. That’s a horrible experience for a woman to go through made worst by a cold hearted husband. Liam is cold hearted and self centered. All he cares about is himself.
I hope that Steffy returns to a new guy and Hope moves on to Wyatt. Nither Hope nor Steffy deserve to be with a guy as callous as Liam and both of them deserve to find true happiness.
Right now, Hope has a chance at true happiness with Wyatt and I hope she grabs it.
I’m so disgusted with Liam I wish they would get rid of him. I hate seeing his face on the show. I don’t think he’s mature enough to be with anyone, let alone getting married. Who leaves a women who just lost a baby broken and alone grieving for the lost of her baby. Steffy loved him so much that she wanted him to be with someone who he could have a family with since she was told she can’t ever get pregnant again. A real man would have been there, coming up with ideas to create a family with the woman he loves. Liam is a joke.
Wyatt and Quinn are a great addition on the show. I love the two characters. I would love to see Wyatt snatch Hope from that selfish whiny Liam. Wyatt and Hope have great chemistry and could be a real strong couple. Hope will only get hurt by Liam. She will always be his second choice. If Steffy come back, Hope will be tossed to the side again.
Iam tired of peoples talking about Liam like he is so bad he isn’t going with his ex-wife sister everybody has came between Hope and Liam Steffy her mother Brook Bill her brother Rick Ridge her aunt Donna when she didn’t stop Liam from being with Steffy when she seeing her and Liam in that cabin making out.everybody came between that relationship that is why Hope and Liam is nt married unstill this day and the writers need to let Hope and Liam get married and be happy and get Wyatt and his gold digging mother out of there business. because everybody act like they can’t figure it out the way Quinn be always asking about Hope and Liam business. And they wasn’t even around when all that was going on between Hope and Liam.
OMG– with Brad Bell this triangle will be going on forever. Hope will pick Liam, then she will pick Wyatt and then she will pick Liam again, and Brad will be in heaven because he can recycle all his old Steffy/Hope/Liam scripts that were recycled from his old Brooke/Taylor/ Ridge scripts. But I give Brad props for thinking out the box with this one and having a two guys interested in one girl triangle instead of two girls fighting over one man. But I will play along even if it doesn’t matter who she is with because eventually she will be with the other guy too– yet in my mind, Hope should be with Wyatt — so put me on team Wyatt and let the endless back and forth begin.
Oh, please nooooooo to Hope waffling between the two brothers like Liam did between the two “sisters”!
I totally agree!!! All that is changed is the names. I hope eventually both Brook and Brad will finally pay the price for all the destruction they’ve created.
Amen
As a newer viewer (a couple years now), I don’t quite get Liam’s draw. Why do Hope and Steffy drool all over someone who constantly jerks them around? Although I love Scott Clifton, mostly from his GH days, I just don’t see what they see in Liam. Nice to read above that Hope and Liam started in high school. That makes it make a little more sense. But why is Steffy so drawn to him? I like the idea of Hope being with Wyatt if for no other reason than just to dump on Liam for a change.
Well it a long story, but the Reader’s Digest version is something like this. Steffy was in love with Bill when he was engaged to Katie. Bill took over Forresters Creations. Steffy seduced Bill, but never went all the way, and used that to blackmail Bill to turn over Forrester to her side of the family. Bill married Katie anyway, while he still had the hots for Steffy. Eventually Bill said he would leave Katie for Steffy, but then Katie had her heart attack so Bill stayed with her and broke it off with Steffy. Steffy, broken hearted goes to take a bath, slips in the tub, and is about to drown. Liam comes in and discovers her in the tub and saves her life. Steffy, develops a crush on him for saving her and slowly transfers her love for Bill to his son. Bill encourages Liam to go after Steffy, because he can’t have her, but still likes to have her around through Liam and sees her as more worthy woman for his son than Hope— and that in a nut shell is how the infamous Hope/Liam/Steffy triangle was born and would still be going if the actress playing Steffy had stayed
I feel sorry for you, you must’ve started watching right about the time Brad flushed the show down the crapper, once upon a time B&B was the best show on the box!
Team Wyatt! His chemistry with Hope is off the charts compared to wishy-washy Liam. As soon as Steffy returns, Liam will go to her. He even just left a message on Steffy’s voice mail saying he “missed” her. You don’t miss your ex when you are “in-love” and engaged to someone else. Wyatt only has eyes for Hope and he hasn’t jerked her around like Liam has.
Yeah, I thought Liam’s “miss you” phone message to Steffy was a HUGE red flag for Hope…but, she’s missed (or ignored) all the other red flags so… Pretty creepy of Liam, though. Character’s a dishrag.
When did Liam leave that message? I watch every minute every day & don’t remember this. Thanks!
Drop all three roles; bring back Ridge Forrester (played by another actor) and devote time to Ridge, Thomas, and Steffy.
Ridge needs to be re-cast and come back. I could use a break from Steffy, though. Like Thomas but he needs a story.
Drake Hogenstyn(dont know if i spelled it correctly) or Josh Taylor both from Days or Rick Springfield ex GH is whom id recast in the role of Ridge…thats if any of them would do it if approached!
Wyatt should be Hope’s man!! So tired of Liam and Hope’s whining over Steffy and anything or anyone else that doesn’t make them happy! Would LOVE to see Steffy come back and be with Liam, but, it would be VERY interesting to see her toy with Wyatt to get Hope jealous and Liam get upset over Steffy paying attention to Wyatt. Liam and Steffy belong together, she is the only one that totally GETS him and anyways, they are so in love!! Hopefully, Steffy can find a specialist in Europe, that can fix the issue of never conceiving!! Miracles can and do happen on a soap !
I can’t believe any one actually cares about this storyline. We had more than 2 years of Leffy / Lope rammed down our thoats, now Bill gets another long lost son and we have to put up with Hope, the most annoying character on daytime in another triangle. Brad Bell has no imagination left 🙁
Couldn’t agree more… The Hope character, which in her early days, was written to be different from momma Brooke, is just a recycled Brooke/Ridge/Bill “I love both men–one’s the love of my life, one’s exciting” triangle or Liam/Steffy/Hope “I love both women, one’s the love of my life, one’s exciting” triangle where only the names and faces and gender balance of the triangles have changed. No imagination. And the Hope character is so annoying.
Why? Why? Why? This storyline is such a bore, these writers don’t seem to have a creative bone in their bodies, same old crap and when steffy comes back it’s going to be even worse, uggghhh!
I like wyatt with hope he is better man for her
I enjoy Hope with Wyatt. They have great chemisrtry. Liam/ Hope are so played out and are veryjchildish. They bore me. Liam deserves to be alone even if Steffy does come back. I want Wyatt to win Hope’s heart.
I totally agree with you. Liam and Hope together seem so child-like, while Hope and Wyatt seem more of a mature chemistry. I would love to see Hope grow up and be with a more mature, confident man like Wyatt. I would also like to see Wyatt get rid of those plead shirts and where some sleek clothing like a Spenser would but not overly stuffy.
Typo.
Wyatt should wear some sleek clothing…..
Thorne/ridge war for caroline. Thorne/ridge war for brooke. Ridge/nick war for brooke. Yawn. Still no chars who are Asian american on l.a. based b&b yet it’s the same old storylines of brothers and half brothers who are white fighting for a woman.
Wyatt and Hope are HOTT!
Hope needs to dump Liam now.
I am team Liam
Stop putting it wasn’t his fault his daddy stay in his business he didn’t no he was behind getting Hope daddy out of jail breaking thems up Liam didn’t have a part of knowing thatok so get off the boy back and get on bill because he the one donted like Hope. ok
I do not like Wyatt at all. He is too much like his father Bill. . I do want Liam and Hope to marry.
I want Hope and Liam to marry. If Steffy returns pair her up with Wyatt.
I want Hope and Wyatt to be together and for Liam to get back with Steffy
Liam cant even think on his own. Everytime someone tells him to jump he says how high?. I hate Hope with a passion. She is so immature. I would rather see her with Wyatt though if I had to choose. The Hope/Liam thing is SO old.
I would love to see Wyatt with Hope. They seem to make a better couple than Hope with Liam. I think Liam should have stayed with Steffy after what she went through with the loss of the baby. Instead, he left her in Paris even though he found out why Steffy left. A man that truly loved his wife would have been there instead of running of with another woman at the sign of difficulty. Major sign of immaturity and lack of compassion for a woman he claimed to love.
Liam will only hurt Hope and from what I’ve seen, when things become challenging Liam will take off or do something inappropriate to create a break up that he will blame on someone else.
I really don’t see Liam as marriage material. Most of the time he looks confused, lost and silly. Wyatt seems more mature and grounded. Liam’s push to marry Hope is just to show Wyatt that he’s the better guy.
As for Wyatt, not only is he hot, but he really cares for Hope and will be a lot more stable for Hope than Liam. I like his confidence and the way he fights for Hope. I feel that Wyatt should be Hope’s soul mate.
Wyatt all the way. We don’t need another younger version of fickle Ridge always getting what he wants, despite the fact he changes his mind with the direction of the wind. Ridge wasn’t that great and neither is Liam. Hope is a goddess and deserves a man who sees that and has eyes only for her. PLUS it’s not a good example to set for young women to show a smart, capable, beautiful girl like Hope waiting for a fickle selfish Liam to meet her half way. It’s not a good example for anyone, even scheming Steffy. Liam needs to learn his lesson by getting kicked to the curb by everyone. Maybe when he grows up and learns relationships are 50/50, he can get himself a new girlfriend, but only if…. LOL
I’m totally disgusted with the Caroline and Maya situation as well. Rick is another womanizer like Liam. He used Maya and then went back to Caroline who he now controls like a dog on a leash which, he’s using to help him keep his position at F.C. Thank goodness Maya had some self respect and moved on.
Brooke is another character that makes me sick. She’s so old now and still playing the woman with no control over her body who will sleep with her own sisters husband. Bill even had her daughter, Hope and she’s still crawling in bed with this guy. She slept with all the Forrester brothers and father. The crocodile tears doesn’t make her look any better. She’s like a predator on the show who destroys lives, yet has the nerve to want to be loved by all in the midst of her filth.
If Hope and Wyatt do get together finally, I just hope the writers don’t make Brooke destroy her daughters relationship and start sleeping with Wyatt. Is there any man on B&B that Brooke didn’t sleep with?
As for Quinn Fuller I think she’s an amazing actress. I’ve followed her on GH when she was younger and in films. She hasn’t changed much. She still looks young but now more refined and classier. Love her big blue eyes and dimples. Beautiful and unique. The dark hair makes her eyes pop. I love her character. She’s strong yet sweet, smart and can make things happen whether through the blue diamond or just momma bear looking out for her cub.
I want Wyatt and Hope to get married!! I’m so sick of Liam and Hope…..they’re boring together, I liked him better with Steffy.
Today Wyatt mentioned he’d give Hope another ring. He may propose soon. I just wonder if it’s too soon for Hope after breaking up the engagement with Liam. Seems like their relationship will be more intense and fast. Hope feels safer with Wyatt and more loved. That may speed up a wedding with the two love birds. I love to see that materialize just like Wyatt predicted. I’m so tired of Liam hurting Hope and never understanding what he’s done.
Peoples you all is crazy Wyatt is money hungry too he is just like his mother all for hisself and he donted care who he hurt to get it. no I donted wanted with Hope because he donted have any repect for his brother so in my book he couldn’t be no brother of mind. because real brother donted do that.
I am in Australia and this is my favourite show however why did you have to try to make Hope into a Brooke does not work. Let her have the fairy tale that no one on the show has had, she loves Liam stop trying to manipulate the relationship yeh sure you are getting a lot of reaction but you have not let anyone have the true love experience and Hope and Liam is the right one just let them be together. If you want to keep Wyatt in bring back Steffy and put them together that would be a storyline as Steffy/Taylor/Quinn/Wyatt make a great bitch pack.
Yes, Hope and Wyatt. Looks like they’re going to be together. I just love seeing these two together. Perfect couple. Great chemistry. Just what Hope needs. Hope finally initiated kissing Wyatt today. It was great to see. Then poor little Liam walked in to see how into each other they were. There is no way on earth do I want to see Hope go back to waffle boy. Beside Wyatt he just looks gross. Wyatt is hottt, Liam is not. I don’t see myself getting tired of Wyatt. He’s a keeper!
Love that sly look Wyatt gave Liam when he found them kissing and hugging. Bell should let Hope finally be happy considering all the Logan girls have been through so much crap between Brooke shagging her daughters boyfriends to Steffy and Bill causing trouble. Nobody cares to see Hope with a man that can be easily manipulated and clueless about what Hope needs. Liam has been with Hope for so long, yet still doesn’t get her and can’t understand her despite they’re long history. That’s a big part of the problem. That will always cause Hope to be hurt, over and over again. That’s why I feel Liam isn’t right for Hope despite their history.
Wyatt on the other hand, has taken the time to know Hope and understand and listen to her. He gets Hope and knows what she needs to be happy and feel safe and it didn’t take him 3-4 years. Liam can’t understand this because he’s always had two women to play with at the same time to be bothered to really understand Hope. I strongly believe that Wyatt loves Hope a lot more than Liam and Liam has been in a rush to marry her since he realized Wyatt wanted her. If Wyatt wasn’t around, I doubt Liam would be acting so hard up to tie the knot. If Steffy came back, Liam and Hope would be broken again because Liam can’t think straight when it comes to staffy.
Wyatt and Hope kissed like pros today. No dry kisses today. Hope is stepping things up. No more little girl. Now we need to see her in some sexy lingerie with Wyatt. Liam had too many chances. It’s time for Hope to be with a real man that is strong and loves only her. That’s her real fairy tale. Wyatt.
Get rid of them both. Liam has had too many chances with Hope and doesn’t deserve another one. But … if I had to choose one, it would be Liam. Wyatt is very unappealing. He looks like he could be Mr. Rogers real-life grandson (Mr. Rogers Neighborhood). He does this strange expression with his mouth. How about giving Oliver another chance.
I have already left my opinion I don’t like Quinn and Wyatt get thems off the show for good writers ok.
Seriously, it’s taking too long for Wyatt and Hope to move on together. Why are the writers making her waste her time and our time with Liam. Mr. Bell, please stop torturing us and let Hope and Wyatt finally be together officially. I would love to see them get married and Hope pregnant with Wyatt’s child. It’s time for the two of them to get their own home together like Liam and Steffy got theirs in Malibu as a gift. Hard core B&B fans want to see Wyatt and Hope happy together. No more tears for Hope like she had with Liam. Make her easy going and less rigid. Wyatt is too fun and naughty. He doesn’t play by the rules sometimes but he has a good heart and loves Hope. He’s done more for Hope in a few months than Liam has done for her in 3 years. Maybe Aly can take Liam. Wyatt and Hope soul mates all the way.
I hate Wyatt, can’t stand his attitude. Let Liam and hope finally be together…and get some new characters! It was just terrible what they did to Katie. Brooke and Bill need to pay for what they done….hatehatehate WYATT! Get rid of him, I will probably quit watching….
i think hope and liam should get marry they been trying for so long and they love each other so much and i think they should have a shot at marriage just like some of the other characters did please give liam and hope a chance to get marry.do not let hope be with two brother because then hope want be no better then brook i dont’ want hope characters mess up it bad enough hope is kissing wyatt no wyatt and hope but let it be hope and liam get marry for real this time dont’ let know one els stop this wedding of liam and hope enough is enough so they can move on with they life.
hope and liam all the way for ever.
Who wants a mamma’s boy…they should both go, and Let Hope and Liam finally have the life they deserve..those two make me sick to my stomach..and will be really disappoint…Wyatt is trying to buy her love…that is no kind of marriage or life.
Does it really matter who she is with anymore.. I think they have officially decided to turn Hope into the next Brooke, smh. So Hope will jump from brother to brother but ultimately she will always want Liam. Lope=Bridge, generation 2.0 and it sucks. KM and DB have AMAZING chemistry. Hope is completely different with Wyatt and I for one would much prefer a confident, stronger Hope who smiles all the time with Wyatt than see her cry over something pitiful Liam did. I really think it’s ridiculous that the show has decided to turn her into a bed hopper like Brooke. It doesn’t suite the image they have been trying to shove down my throat about her character for 3 arduous years. Liam came out of the triangle looking like a jerk and completely unworthy of either women and now they are doing the same thing to Hope, what a shame. Even though It is so much easier to believe a love story between Hope and Wyatt than it is to believe one between Hope and Liam, they will drag it out for as long as the they want, spare me. I will not go through another triangle for who knows how many years. They have turned Quinn into this obsessive mother who is way too invested in Wyatt’s love life and they have turned Wyatt into this “bad guy” to make Liam look squeaky clean, oh please . What a waste of two marvelous new characters, just props for the boring combo that is LOPE. If they want Liam and Hope together they better marry them off quickly because I can’t handle anymore of Hope’s moaning about being robbed and Liam’s playing detective, like he just caught a clue. END THE MADNESS.
Please let Hope and Liam get married,I can’t stand that creepy Wyatt and evil mother.
REALLY! I totally agree-what on earth will Quinn do when she realizes Hope is pregnant with Wyatt’s kid? Seems like everyone will get their way except Hope & Liam although Hope should certainly have waited A DAY OR TWO before marrying Wyatt-she could have at least made sure Liam’s plane had not crashed or that he’d been mugged/killed/something. Instead, it’s oh no Liam didn’t come! Ok Wyatt, let’s get married. And Hope was expressing to Brooke her lack of interest/readiness in becoming a mother so WHY ON EARTH did she end up pregnant? What the devil birth control was she using? Could this baby be Liam’s? I can’t remember-was Hope WITH Liam before the big announcement about the diamond/trip to Paris? Also, did Quinn kill that guy in Mexico to get the diamond?
Plz plz Liam & Hope. Wyatt 8s a bloody sneaky slime weasel . LIAM N HOPE with no intervenning
I think that whaytt should win her heart he is just better for her than liam is he seems to bring her down and hold her baack from being happy she just is so ful of life with wayhtt I love him for her so pealse let them be happy for onnce not liam let him move on I can actually stand to watch her make love to liams brother lam and her in those seens put me to sleep .sherry Anderson.
Liam and Hope all the way..i like Liam is because he always fight for his love…Liam and Hope…get married already..get rid of whaytt..
I hope that Liam gets hope back Wyatt needs to be with ivy they make a good match .Liam and hope should finally get married and settle down and have a family.
I will say this show wastes WAAAAY too much time on flashbacks. Seems like every day or at least every other day precious minutes are devoted to flashbacks! This is only a 30 minute show & they do this too much. Drives me crazy. The other soaps hardly ever do this & when they do it is just a scene or two, once in a great while, not regularly.
and I think that Wyatt ought to go to hope and get married to hope again and to be there for hope and Wyatt needs stay away from sally spectra and respect Thomas and sally spectra future
Days Of Our Lives
‘Brilliant Minds’ Officially Canceled After 2 Seasons at NBC; DAYS Alum Al Calderon, OLTL Alum Teddy Sears and Zachary Quinto Among the Cast
After languishing on the bubble for months, on Friday, NBC handed down the decision and canceled the medical drama Brilliant Minds after two seasons.
Brilliant Minds stars Zachary Quinto as neurology physician Oliver Wolf, who’s character and the series is inspired by the life and books of neurologist. Oliver Sacks. The series focuses on the medical mysteries of the mind, as Wolf a larger-than-life neurologist and his team of interns explore the last great frontier, the human mind, while grappling with their own relationships and mental health.
The final six episodes of what will now be the end of its second and final season were already set to air beginning on May 27, after being pulled off the network schedule in February as viewership saw a steep decline. Brilliant Minds second season became the lowest-rated drama on linear TV viewing, which didn’t bode well fo a network renewal, although it had its hard core fan base.

There are some exceptional notables in the cast along with the talented Quinto that includes Days of Our Lives alum, Al Calderon (ex-Javi Hernandez) who joined the series in its second season as Nurse Nico Silva, and One Life to Live alum, Teddy Sears (ex-Chad Bennett) who plays Wolf’s love interest and fellow physician, Dr. Josh Nichols.
The rest of the talented cast includes: Tamberla Perry, Ashleigh LaThrop, Alex MacNicoll, Aury Krebs, Spence Moore II, Donna Murphy, John Clarence Stewart, and Brian Altemus.
In an ironic twist of fate on Thursday, April 30, Days of Our Lives finally revealed the actor who was Al Calderon’s successor in the role of Javi, when they announced that actor Jacob Martinez had now stepped into the role. Since DAYS tapes ten months ahead of streaming new episode, Calderon left in the spring of 2025, but will be seen in the part for the final part this month, and then on June 20, Martinez debuts as Salem’s new Javi.
Taking to his Instagram with a sorrowful and heartfelt post on the Brilliant Minds cancellation was Teddy Sears who wrote, “Thank you, Brilliant Minds. I got the call today and I didn’t want to hear, but I knew that it would come, You have to be a particular vintage to quote Don Henley from memory, but that’s the line that came to mind earlier today after I got off the phone with our inimitable showrunner Michael Grassi who delivered the news that NBC has cancelled the series”.

Sears continued, “To say that I feel sad to be moving on from these stories, this character, and this cast and crew just doesn’t paint the entire picture. I’m sad, sure. But I’m also deeply grateful that I got hired to play this part, so proud of the stories we told, and the other actors I got to play alongside. I’m excited to see what comes next, what adventures await, and terrified to be without a professional home. A quick and heartfelt thank you to everyone, all over the globe, who found us and found themselves in us, in our characters and in our stories. We wouldn’t have been able to tell them without you. And we still have 6 fresh episodes yet to air, and I do hope you tune in enjoy the remainder of the series. They’re the best we’ve done.”
As he wrapped up his sentiments, Sears signed off with, “The more I know, the less I understand. All the things I figured out I have to learn again. I’ve been trying to get down to the heart of the matter. But everything changes…Thank you, Brilliant Minds.”
The medical drama was created and executive produced by Michael Grassi alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman, Lee Toland Krieger, DeMane Davis, Jasmine Russ, Henrik Bastin, Jonathan Cavendish, Andy Serkis and Shefali Malhoutra.

What are your thoughts on our show?” Jumping first into the comment thread was one of his new GH co-stars, Dominic Zamprogna (Dante) who expressed, “Yeah buddy!!!🔥🔥”
In the series, Bennett, the host and co-creator spends eight weeks guiding 10 aspiring actors through a series of “festive face-offs” and acting challenges alongside actors like soap opera notables, Hunter King (ex-Summer, Y&R) and Alison Sweeney (Sami, DAYS). Along the way, they develop their skills and a bond with one another. The show, which is available on Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Plus, highlights LGBTQ+ representation with openly gay contestants vying to be the next Hallmark star.
It should be noted that Traitors received the most Critics Choice Real TV Award nominations with 6 nods, followed by Dancing with the Stars with 4.
Bennett is very familiar to daytime fans having started his career as JR Chandler on All My Children in 2000-2001, before landing the part of Aaron Samuels in the motion picture, Mean Girls in 2004 starring Lindsay Lohan, which would become his breakout performance.

General Hospital
‘General Hospital’s’ Kelly Thiebaud on Britt and Cassius Sibling Drama, But Who Will Ultimately Blow His Cover?
On the April 30 episode of General Hospital, Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) had some choice words and warning for her brother Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey) who has been masquerading as his twin, the very dead, Nathan West.
As the story has unfolded, viewers learned that Britt knew all along that when “Nathan” showed up in Port Charles seemingly resurrected with a missing 7 years of his life unexplained, that Cassius was taking his place.
Now in developments on today’s GH, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) is figuring out that this guy pretending to be Nathan is someone else, and Cassius learns from Britt, that Joss is not just a ditzy sorority girl as he claimed, but a WSB agent! The moment stuns Cassius. Are the walls about to close in on him and his charade?

Daytime Emmy winner, Kelly Thiebaud spoke to Soap Opera Digest, about the story point and getting the opportunity this time back at GH to work with Ryan Paevey, when she hadn’t had the chance to before.
BROTHERLY LOVE?
Thiebaud expressed on sharing scenes with Ryan Paevey, “It’s just been so wonderful to have him back and to actually work with him! When he first came onto the show (as Nathan at the end of 2013) I was kind of heading out — it was right towards the end of my contract, so we didn’t actually work together a ton. It’s been really refreshing and so much fun to really spend time together and get to know each other and work together. I think we have really great on-camera chemistry and banter with each other. I really enjoy working with him.”
With the stakes at an all-time, Thiebaud explained how she views her on-screen alter-ego’s involvement with her more hot-to-temper sibling and why Britt revealed the truth about Josslyn to him. “People finding out about Cassius would expose what she’s involved in and what she agreed to do,” explains Kelly “And now Josslyn is digging around, and she’s connected to Carly (Laura Wright) to Jason (Steve Burton) and that whole dynamic! It’s messy!”
BRITT’S MURKY FUTURE
Britt has currently also reached her breaking point with Jason being carted away by the WSB, Rocco (Finn Carr), the child she gave birth to, shooting Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) to protect her and Jason, Marco (Adrian Anchondo) being killed after trying to help her, and Cullum holding over her head getting her Huntington’s disease medication to control her symptoms, while blackmailing her into finishing the research on her father, Cesar Faison’s, final project. Thiebaud summed it up best for Britt right now, sharing, “It’s been a really tough time for her.”
So, who do you think will be the person to blow Cassius’ cover? Will it be Britt herself? Josslyn? Liesl? Brennan? Nina? Lulu? Rocco, Maxie, Cullum or someone else? Let us know your pick in the comment section.
