Finally, after weeks of stumbling around and trying to hide the secret that they slept together in Baltimore, Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) and Adam (Mark Grossman) have two different conversations with their significant others; Billy (Jason Thompson) and Sally (Courtney Hope) on the Friday, August 23rd episode of Y&R.

Chelsea comes clean to Billy that booze and vulnerability brought her and Adam together in a hotel room in Baltimore, so much so they hit the sheets after feeling so guilty about their son, Connor’s OCD and his latest plight.

In a gripping performance by Jason Thompson, where at first Billy is very contained about having his suspicions confirmed that Chelsea betrayed him with her ex-husband, eventually alone he lets out a primal scream.

Cut to – the fact that Adam is with Sally and lying to her face, when he had every opportunity to come clean and just tell her the truth that he slept with Chelsea. However, Adam chooses a different path and even goes so far is to deny it which Sally seemingly falls for.

However, Adam is far from being in the clear, when after he lies he receives a text from Chelsea admitting she just told Billy the truth and tis so sorry, but she felt she had to.

In the “Next on Y&R” preview below for the week of August 26th, it looks like Billy is drunk and confronts Adam with Sally looking on. Will Adam somehow keep Billy quiet, or will the truth come out?

Jason Thompson spoke to Soap Opera Digest on what will be the fallout for Billy, sharing, “There’s a lot of moving parts here. It’s an infidelity, and maybe it’s understandable because of the certain circumstances, but it’s Adam and he’s got this vision for (Abbott-Chancellor) and it needs attention, so there’s many things to take stock of and try and do the right thing. And what is Billy’s bandwidth to do all of that is a whole other question. I don’t know exactly how it’s going to all pan out in the coming months, but I’m definitely looking forward to it.”

No one buys Billy loves his rapist. Get that toxic mess out of my face.

What are you talking about, what rapist?

Chelsea. She first met Billy by date raping him in a foreign country. That’s why Johnny exists. The show thinks it’s okay to make it romantic. It’s not and never will be.

The storyline years ago was Chelsea was hired by Victor who beyond reasoning gets away with everything. That it has become a sick joke anyway she drugged him and raped him and had a child who Billy and Victoria adopted . Can’t remember the kids name anyway that did happen on screen when Billy Miller was playing Billy so yes it’s stupid for a romance hard to keep up when you have had four Billy’s and four Adam’s ! The show is very sad it’s very sad.

Jason Thompson is a wonderful actor and always gives his all but I don’t see any chemistry between Chelsea and Billy and I’ll never forget what happened in Myanmar either. Men can be raped too and that makes this relationship so inappropriate. Sally should run from Adam.

They ruined Adam and Sally for nothing. Do Billy and Chelsea even have fans besides the head writer and this actress?

Hardly

I agree with you Alix. I was always a Sally fan whether she was on B&B or Y&R. I was also a big Adam and Sally fan. Having Adam and Chelsea sleep together ruined it, like you said for nothing. I never cared for Billy and Chelsea together. They way Adam just sat there and lied to her face proves that he will never change and he will continue to always put his needs first. I just hope they don’t put Billy and Sally together as kind of a bonding rebound thing. She is way to good for him. I guess we just have to wait and see what happens.

Destroying the popular couple Ally to give angst to the rape pairing that basically nobody likes sure is a choice! Fire Josh Griffith.

Great performances from both but a terrible couple. I agree with everyone else that this rape pairing is not in love.

Another Griffith big story build up with no fall out. CBS and Sony are the absolute worst for keeping Y n R in such a embarrassing state. The fans are so desperate for change but keep watching out of loyalty

I expected a much better cheating story fall out. This wasn’t very soapy. But I’ve always thought Billy should spend more time with Victoria and their kids and was a little too obsessed with Chelsea and her son so I’m all for this break up. There was no chemistry between Jason and Melissa anyways, even though Jason is such a fine actor as Billy. I just don’t feel he would be this torn up about Chelsea because I don’t see a love story. I see an inappropriate trauma bond off a suicide attempt.

This is not Billy not the Billy I loved I think for me soaps are over politics back biting has stepped in I want no part of that I get enough of that crap I don’t need it coming from ignorant actors . JG is an ignorant writer and he is still there because Diva Bergman and diva Braeden are dictating ! SC ob one day a week what the hell has happened to the character Michael Baldwin and Lauren ! Jason Thompson has no chemistry with anyone and yet he is on five days !!! Wake up you are destroying a good soap

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Cullum Kidnaps Obrecht as Britt’s Replacement to Finish Faison’s Final Project

Published

By

WSB director Ross Cullum is truly as despicable villain as they come, and played with steely intensity by Andrew Hawkes. For the double agents latest crime, you need to look no further than the Friday, June 5 cliffhanger of General Hospital, where in the episode’s final moments he sneaks up on an unassuming Dr. Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) after hiding in the back seat of her car.

Next, he chloroforms her with his intent clear. He plans on forcing her to finish the last leg of Faison’s final project at Wyndemere, since her daughter Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) left town with Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) in tow to get away from Cullum!

In what led to the kidnapping, Cullum had a terse conversation with his business associate and co-conspirator on the project, Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota). It is Sidwell who is preoccupied with wanting to bring Marco’s killer to justice (not knowing it’s the man right in front of him!). Sidwell told Cullum if bringing Marco’s killer to justice wasn’t a priority for the WSB director, then why should protecting Cullum be a priority for him?

SIDWELL VS. CULLUM

The two finally put aside their differences as they have to complete Faison’s final project for it will be highly lucrative for them, useful for their mutual gains, and groundbreaking. In order to do that they need a great mind with a scientific background to finish it up and get them to the finish line since Britt as disappeared.

Later, outside of “General Hospital,” Obrecht is headed back to her car after searching Britt’s office for any clues as to the whereabouts of her daughter. But when she got in the car to drive away, that’s when the aforementioned Cullum strikes!

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Katie and Brooke Have the ‘Sister’ of All Blowouts! Did Heather Tom Just Secure Another Emmy Nomination?

Published

on

By

The Friday, June 5 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful served up words of jealously, years of pent up rage, and old and new wounds, when Brooke Logan Forrester (Katherine Kelly Lang) had a confrontation with her sister Katie Logan (Heather Tom).

The fallout happened with Katie’s desire to keep her new fashion house Logan alive while Brooke lets her know in no uncertain terms to stay away from her “turf” and stop pouching employees like Brooke believes Katie did with Eric Forrester (John McCook). However, as viewers know, Ridge put his father out to pasture, and Katie was looking for a new designer to jump start her new fashion house and Eric wanted to do it.

While you think that’s all water under the bridge, now there is Brooke’s daughter, Hope (Annika Noelle), jus waiting to jump on board as Logan’s new lead designer, something that Brooke is currently unaware of. One thing led to another, and six-time Daytime Emmy winner, Heather Tom does what she does best when given the material, she “Heather Tom’d it!”

We predict come the 2027 Daytime Emmy Awards this could certainly be on Heather’s reel if she chose to submit it.  Let’s take a look and the hostile words that were thrown in the writing of the scene.

LOGAN VS. FORRESTER CREATIONS

Katie: “Look at the things that you’ve done, not just to me, but too so many people.”

Brooke follows: “Well, there it is. Proof that your anger really does exist. It’s always been you, me and Donna, the Logan women. And now since this quest of yours, I feel like you’re driving a wedge between us and that isn’t healthy for any of us, especially you, Katie and lashing out. That is not the answer. I’m just afraid that this will go badly for you. You said that you were going to strike out on your own. Instead, you used my name Logan. You tricked Eric and then you had the audacity to show his designs after he begged you not to. What is going on?

Katie responds, “I’m tired of you telling me over and over again how crushed he is. How devastated emotionally he is, because Logan used his designs as their first collection, A collection, by the way, that was overwhelmingly successful that everyone loved. I did nothing to degrade his reputation. So, if he is so crushed, if he’s so ashamed of working with me, then he needs to tell that to my face. He doesn’t need you to be his messenger.”

Brooke adds, “You humiliated him. You disrespected him. I don’t know what’s going on with you, but just stay away from Forrester OK? Do whatever you need to do. Go hire another designer. But stay off my turf and don’t you dare pull another stunt like you did last time, stealing Eric from us. Just leave Forrester Creations alone. It is a warning. Don’t mess with the Forrester’s. Stay out of our business.”

An enraged Katie warns Brooke, “You stay out of mine. You’re running a family company with Eric and Ridge and Steffy. Well, I’m running a family company too with the Spencer’s. Liam and Bill.”

A condescending Brooke says, “I’m glad you recognize that Forrester is my family business with Eric Ridge. Hope, Steffy and me, and we are committed to Forrester’s success, united in purpose with Eric’s return, the new couture line, reestablishing hope and Hope for the Future”

And that is when we the gloves really come off. Katie goes in on Brooke: “How’s that going for you? It seems to me that Ridge and Steffy are just fine with killing the whole line. How exactly have you advocated for Hope, Brooke? How exactly? Have you put her first? She’s never been first in your life and she knows it. Everyone knows that Ridge is first. Always has been your destiny. Hope grew up in a household where, for all intents and purposes, Ridge was her father figure. Did he ever treat her as a daughter? No. He has nothing but contempt for her, and you allow that. Why, Brooke? I’ll tell you why because she’s the result of yet another betrayal of your other daughter. She is your dirty little mistake!”

THE SLAP THAT COULD CHANGE KATIE AND BROOKE’S RELATIONSHIP FOREVER

With that Brooke slaps her sister. Katie snaps and threatens Brooke, “Don’t you ever put your hands on me like that again. I am not your punching back, literally or figuratively. I’m going to tell you something and you better listen! I am gonna do everything in my power to make sure that Logan succeeds”

Brooke says, “That is great because I swear I want you to succeed. I hope that you do well.” A angered Katie says, “That’s all I need, Brooke. Just a little ‘hope’ and you’re gonna see soon enough!”

As Katie says those words, she is staring at a photo of Brooke and Hope together, with Brooke in the dark that her very own daughter is going to jump ship to Logan, soon enough.

So, what did you think of the confrontation scenes between Brooke and Katie on Friday’s episode of The Bold and the Beautiful? Do you think Heather Tom might get nominated for an Emmy for these scenes (if she were to enter the race in 2027)? Let us know via the comment section below.

In one of the more far-fetched soap opera moments in recent memory, while Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) and Willow Cain (Katelyn MacMullen) are chatting at the Quartermaine boathouse in swimming trunks for him and a bikini for her, the two exes have a heart to heart on Wednesday’s June 3 episode of General Hospital.

The moment was set-up by Michael (Rory Gibson) and Jacinda (Paige Herschell) who want to find a way to push the exes together in order to get incriminating evidence of the two, so Michael can gain leverage over Willow for full custody of their children. once and for all. Jacinda notes how Chase definitely has a savior and white knight syndrome going on.

During Willow and Chase’s chat at the boathouse, the subject turns to how Chase was demoted at the PCPD in his efforts to help get Willow acquitted of attempted murder charges at her trial for the shooting of Drew. He has since gone from detective to patrolman. However, Willow comes up with an idea! Why doesn’t he come to work for her as her chief of staff. Willow feels he would be perfect, because he is only one of the only people she can trust.

WILLOW LAYS OUT THE BENEFITS OF CHASE ACCEPTING HER JOB OFFER

A surprised Chase, says he isn’t qualified, but Willow thinks otherwise. She urges him to consider the position she is offering, because it would give him a more regular schedule that would be befitting for him being a new father to baby Phoebe.

Chase’s want to know why it was so important to Willow that he take the job, she continues to explain how she trusts him, but Tracy (Jane Elliot) spots the two in a close moment and hides behind the boathouse. Willow exits, but asks Chase to promise he will think over her offer.

Next, Tracy threatens Chase that this is the last time he will cheat on her granddaughter, Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton). Knowing he didn’t “cheat” on his wife, Chase looks pissed off.
