Game show iconic host, Wink Martindale is the next special guest to don the priest collar on upcoming episodes of the CBS sudser, The Bold and the Beautiful. Martindale follows Chaz Bono, and Perez Hilton as celebs-turned-men-of-the-cloth on the soap!
According to TV Insider, Wink will play Reverend Brown in four upcoming episodes of the series: October 26, 27, 28 and 31, where he is set to marry Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Bill (Don Diamont).
A B&B rep related that in story, Reverend Brown finds himself in an extremely awkward situation, along with the rest of the wedding guests, when the bride-to-be fails to make an appearance. So, just where is Brooke? She’s upstairs with her ex Ridge (Thorsten Kaye)! Of course, he is trying to stop the wedding by trying to convince the bride not to marry Dollar Bill! Does the ceremony actually happen? Mum’s the word for now!
On his stint as a soap opera reverend, Martindale quipped,” I’ve told my friends and family that I’m now available for weddings, Bar Mitzvahs and funerals—and I’ll give a 10 percent discount!”
So, do you think Brill’s wedding will happen? What do you think of Wink being the next guest-star reverend on B&B? Comment below!
B&B does its share of fun casting, and I appreciate that. As to this plot turn… wow, a real twist. (Not so much.)
Jusy make Bill and Brooke the show power couple already. I feel no burn for a Ridge and Brooke reunion. Ever. Just is not the same. Seems show has evolved and changed so in last several years. Ridge seems less central and necessary to me.
Can I say that I do enjoy Thorsten Kaye a lot but to me Brooke and Ridge are KKL and Ronn Moss. I have tried to warm up to Thorsten but there isn’t any chemistry. Watching from the beginning its hard for me to let that go I guess.
I agree on your Ridge theory 110%. I too was watching on and off from day 1, and like you Ridge and Brooke are Ronn Moss and Katherine Kelly Lang. They had such wonderful connection. To me Thorsten Kaye was to scruffy to fit the Ridge mold
Lol wink martindale b&b is a hoot..who sat there and thought this one up?
I totally agree with you on the Ridge issue. Although I am not thrilled that Brooke slutted her way to her sister’s husband, right given the choice of putting her with either Bill or Ridge, I would rather see her with Bill. I never cared for Thorsten Kaye as Ridge. And although in my eyes Ronn Moss was never an academy award winning performer, I loved the chemistry and interaction he shared with Katherine Kelly Lang. At this point I think the story of Brooke and Ridge should be laid to rest.I always say move forward instead of back. And on a side note, I am sick of listening to Steffie bitch to anyone who will listen that she is worried about Quinn. She was using Quinn as an excuse to go running back to Liam . What she should really be doing is asking Liam why he didn’t throw her in jail when he had the chance if she was such a tthreat to society. If he did, maybe Grandfather wouldn’t be flat on his back in a hospital bed
I AM RIGHT THERE with you on KKL and Ronn. Actually storyline wise it would be nice if she married Bill got the shares and SHE keeps them and is the one who gets rid of Quinn herself. I think Eric would be blindsided if she told him she will vote him out if he doesn’t do right by their son for a change. I know a lot of people don’t care for Rick but it would serve BOTH Eric and Ridge right. Brooke could get ALL she wants in this potential scenario, Bill and Rick in power and RID Forrester of Quinn. JUST an idea mind you. Got to get this writing better.
That a wonderful scenario. This way Bill could have more than his 12% and take over Ridge’s share of the company while having Brooke at his side as his wife. Ridge will really go off the deep end then
Why doesn’t Kaye ever comb his hair or shave he looks like a bumb and he’s supposed to be such a great fashion guy yuk. He just looks dirty. Let Bill and Brooke get married B&B needs at least one power couple. They’re petefect for each other. Doesn’t anyone remember Ridge isn’t even a Forrester and he was seeing Katie and he married Caroline after steeling her away from Rick his stepson/stepbrother.
Quinn and Eric make a great couple. Its been way to long since Eric has had a live interest. I’ve always liked Steffys character but she needs to go to cry baby school already.

Writers Strike Comes to an End; Leadership Votes To Conclude Work Stoppage
It’s over! After 148 days, the 2023 Writers strike will go down as the second longest in WGA union history, only a labor stoppage in 1988 was longer.
The strike will officially come to end on Wednesday at 12:01am PT. This was due to a vote from the guild’s leadership that now has authorized its over 11,500 members to return to work.
That means: pitching and selling scripts, taking meetings, responding to notes, writers’ rooms opening up again, and more, can now restart.

The WGA committee shared that the vote, “Allows writers to return to work during the ratification process, but does not affect the membership’s right to make a final determination on contract approval.” However, WGA East and West voted unanimously to lift the “restraining order” on Tuesday.
As the negotiators shared, the end of the strike doesn’t mean that the tentative agreement that the union reached with producers on Sunday night is a surefire thing: Union members still need to vote to ratify the contract. Union leadership announced on Tuesday that will take place between October 2nd and October 9th.

However, SAG-AFTRA still remains on strike. So, even with the writers returning to work, many productions can’t move forward without their principal actors and performers.
So soap fans, how do you feel about this news for your favorite shows? Glad that the head writers and their writing teams will be back at work as soon as this week from Days of our Lives, General Hospital, and The Bold and the Beautiful? Y&R’s Josh Griffith, who previously had gone Fi-Core during the 2008 strike, remained at the top rated show during the last several months.

It’s Official! Former AEW Champ Jade Cargill Signs with WWE
All the reports and the rumors have been confirmed. Former AEW TBS Women’s champion, Jade Cargill has signed a new multi-year contract, but with rival WWE.
Cargill, who was AEW’s longest-reigning TBS champion and wrestled her last match on AEW TV programming just two weeks ago, started with WWE on Tuesday at its Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.
In her first interview since joining WWE, Cargill spoke to ESPN and shared that a decision has already been made if she will go straight to the WWE main roster, or if she will first perform for its developmental brand, NXT. Jade teased that fans are just going to have to stay tuned to see just how she will make her arrival.
In AEW, Cargill was a force to be reckoned with having held the AEW TBS Championship for Cargill for 508 days. She lost the title back in May of this year, and had been off AEW TV for quite some time, until a few weeks ago when she lost her final match to Kris Statlander.
Cargill, 31, has been wrestling professionally for two years. She has close ties to Cody Rhodes, who Jade admitted in her chat with ESPN, was one of the top two reasons she came to WWE.
AEW CEO and Owner, Tony Khan was asked about Cargill’s exit during a media call on Tuesday. Khan shared that he wished Jade all the best in her future and said he has nothing but positive things to say about her. Khan added Cargill would always be welcome in AEW.
Check out Jade’s first interview since becoming a top signing for WWE under their new umbrella TKO Group, below.
Now let us know, who do you think Jade will have her first feud with in the WWE? Do you think she has found the perfect fit for her talent in WWE? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
