Next week on The Bold and the Beautiful will pick right back up where the Friday, October 2 episode left off, leaving most viewers seething and seeing red. At the end of Cliffhanger Friday, Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) have made their way to Forrester Creations CEO office.

Steffy continued to tell Carter for the umpteenth time why his plan to deceive Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) will not work and how covering this up to her, and to Finn (Tanner Novlan) will pose massive problems down the line, but Carter keeps throwing in her face that they have to act now!

Carter tells Steffy that he and Daphne can give the child all the love it needs. Steffy fires back, “Not mine.” She wants to tell the truth of their one night together, but Carter argues this is the only way out of their deception, by continuing to deceive.

DONOR BLUES

Just then, Daphne walks in on the conversation, prompting Carter to corner Steffy!  “Go ahead, Steffy,” he begins. “Tell Daphne. Tell her the good news.” Steffy is blindsided, and freeze up, but Carter tells his wife, “We did it. The implantation and fertilization. The day they’ve been dreaming of, it’s happened. It’s finally happened. Steffy is our surrogate.”

Daphne looks stunned. Steffy is in tears. That sets up The Bold and the Beautiful’s look ahead for the action on episodes from October 5-9.  In the video preview, Steffy says, “What Carter and I did was wrong.” Carter wants her to shut up, but Steffy says that Daphne, “deserves to know.”

However, eagle-eyed viewers noticed how the promo was cut together; which may be moments from the same scene or an adjoining scene edited to make this look more questionable, and if Steffy will actually confess the truth to Daphne or go along with Carter’s scheme. Stay tuned!

WILL ZENDE SWITCH TEAMS AND JOIN LOGAN?

Meanwhile, after Zende (Delon de Metz) headed over to Logan following his conversations with Dylan (Sydney Bullock), who prodded him to give Katie (Heather Tom) and Hope (Annika Noelle) a chance to talk to him, he is unsure if he will join the Logan team.

Deke (Harrison Cone) is excited for Zende to come aboard, but Zende tells him he is on the fence. Katie wants to ensure that Zende will say “yes,” and may sweeten the deal as she continues poaching design talent from the rival fashion house.

Will (Crew Morrow) wants his mother to backoff of Dylan, now that she did her bidding for her to lure Zende to Logan. He announces to Katie, “I think it’s time you embraced her into the family.” Is Katie going to give Dylan a chance or continue to just use her for her own business gains?

Next week, expected surprises and schemes on Days of our Lives. In official spoilers for episodes streaming on Peacock from October 5-9, it looks like Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) has hunted down a very much alive Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd), while Marlena (Deidre Hall) admits a deeply concerning confession to her daughter Belle (Martha Madison), and more.

As previously reported, Tajh Bellow (ex-TJ Ashford, General Hospital) is stepping in for one day for Tyler Joseph Andrews in the role of Theo Carver and will share scenes with Gabi (Cherie Jimenez), where Theo finally agrees to go along with Gabi’s plan, after she offered him a job.

Meanwhile, Gabi may have her hands full with Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) whose big win in Monte Carlo may have sparked his gambling addiction … all over again, but Philip reveals her has a plan.

Sydney (Sydney Malekeh) is in for a shock when Dante (Franco LoPresti) arrives in Salem. Why is he in Salem? Is he part of the unraveling of the Dominic Marino mystery, since we know he seemed like he was talking to the man in Monte Carlo?

Will Marlena ever figure out what Rita (Maggie Carney) is hiding about the mystery of Dominic, and if Marlena is truly his birth mother or did something more suspicious go on and how deeply involved is Rita in this whole story?

EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) finally demands answers of his own from Rita after overhearing on today’s Cliffhanger Friday her conversation with Marlena. Will Rita cop to anything?

Then as noted, while everyone thinks Sophia took her own life, after Kristen “murdered” her, Kristen is infuriated to find she is somehow alive working as waitress in a diner in Kentucky. Will Kristen try to kill Sophia yet again?

Take a look at some of the additional spoilers for next week’s action on DAYS below.

So, what do you think will happen when Kristen finds that the woman she thought she murdered and framed (making it looking like a suicide) is alive and well and working in a diner far away from Salem? Was Rita more involved with Stefano DiMera than we even know? Who is the birth mother of Dominic? Is it really Marlena or did someone else carrying her child? And what of Dante? Why is he back in Salem? To get at Philip, or something else? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

Next week on The Bold and the Beautiful, official spoilers and the video teaser for episodes airing September 28 through October 2, have Katie (Heather Tom) making it clear she wants Dylan (Sydney Bullock) to prove herself to her by helping lure Zende Forrester (Delon de Metz) over to her fashion house Logan.

If Katie is successful, she would have yet another acquisition from Forrester Creations which would continue to fuel the rivalry between herself and her sister, Brooke Logan Forrester (Katherine Kelly Lang),

In the video preview, Katie informs Hope (Annika Noelle), “Dylan has been tasked with talking to Zende, and if she wants any kind of acceptance from me, she’d better come through.” Is Hope getting leery of Katie’s machinations, or would she like to see Zende get a chance at showcasing his talents, something he had not been able to do of late at Forrester? If Dylan comes through for Katie, will she accept her son, Will’s (Crew Morrow) relationship with the young woman? Stay tuned.

GUESS WHO THE SURROGATE IS RIDGE?

Meanwhile, Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) informs Brooke and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) that she and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) have found someone to be their donor and surrogate adding that said woman is “remarkable.” But, how would Ridge feel when he learns it’s his daughter, Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), who would be the woman giving the couple a child they so desperately want?

What Ridge and Brooke don’t know is that Steffy is already pregnant from her drunken night with Carter, and through Carter’s unrelenting pressure, he wants her to give up the baby she is carrying and give it to Daphne and him to raise as their own.

COERCION CITY

Finn (Tanner Novlan) has already told Steffy she should not be Daphne and Carter’s surrogate, when she tried to broach the lie to her husband. Now, he is out of town at a medical conference, when Carter stops by at the cliff house and Steffy addresses her concerns.

Carter fires back, “We have to do this now, Steffy! We don’t have time!” What will Steffy ultimately do? Go along with Carter’s plan, knowing she feels it’s wrong and wrong for her? Time will tell!
