At the launch party, reporters begin to question Tucker about the new line’s marketability and overall potential, Tucker finds it hard to respond. Ashley seamlessly steps in to describe the ingredients and benefits of the new line’s products. A reporter claims to have come across a marriage certificate for Ashley and Tucker. Tucker puts his arm around Ashley and confirms their marriage. When Abby is asked about her feelings regarding the marriage, Abby acts as though she knew about the nuptials, adding that she is happy for them both. Billy arrives at the dive bar, finding Cane working behind the bar. Cane refuses to serve Billy, instead, they share stories of how they’ve lost the women and children they love. Victoria starts to open up to Victor about her and Billy’s turbulent relationship. Victor warns Victoria that Billy has a problem that only he can fix.
Victoria informs Jack, Jill, and Ashley that Billy was a total wreck when she saw him after Delia’s custody hearing and hasn’t heard from him since. Billy appears lifeless as he lays face down on the steering wheel of his wrecked vehicle.
Diane runs into both Jack and Victor when she arrives at the Jabot launch party with Kyle. Diane harps on both Victor and Jack for making Kyle’s accomplishment into a contest between the two of them. Abby takes her anger out on Deacon. Diane learns from Deacon that Abby was in fact the one driving the night Tucker was hit. Unable to conceal the truth any longer, Abby confesses to Tucker about being behind the wheel the night of the accident. Tucker reveals he knew that she was driving. The doctor informs Jill, Ashley, and Jack that he is awaiting the results of Billy’s blood alcohol test. Billy insists he wasn’t drunk. Victoria confronts Chloe about taking Delia away from Billy. Chloe insists that Billy is spiraling down the same path she witnessed while they were together in New York. Victoria and Chloe are interrupted when Jack calls to inform Victoria of Billy’s accident. Sergeant Burke informs Jill and Jack that Billy was in fact sober at the time of the accident. Inside Billy’s hospital room, Victoria bears her soul to a seemingly unconscious Billy. When she’s gone, Billy opens his eyes to reveal that he was awake Sharon arrives in court for her sentencing. Sharon thanks Adam for fighting harder than anyone for her, unaware that Adam threw away the only evidence to free her.
Phyllis is surprised when Nick informs her he will not be attending the sentencing. Noah informs Eden that he was going to be there for Sharon, but she called and asked him not to attend to avoid the press. Nick and Phyllis both agree that they wish Adam hadn’t convinced Noah that he had proof of Sharon’s innocence. Phyllis informs Nick she’s going to find out exactly how close Adam came to exonerating Sharon. The judge takes the bench and announces that Sharon is sentenced to 30 years in prison with no chance of parole. Victor assures Sharon that he and Sam are going to appeal and find a way to prove her innocence. Adam listens in through the slightly ajar courtroom door. Adam is angry when Diane considers backing out of their plan to bring Victor down. Adam reveals his plan to frame Victor for Diane’s murder and sternly informs Diane that she will follow through with the plan. Diane asks Adam to transfer money to her so she can send Kyle away to keep him from Jack and Victor’s grasp. Adam agrees, but informs Diane that she needs to sign custody of Kyle over to Victor. Sharon calls Adam’s GCAC suite, but Diane answers the phone instead and neither woman recognizes the other’s voice. Phyllis reveals to Adam that she knows he got his hands on the evidence to prove Sharon’s innocence, demanding to know what he did with it.
Jack warns Sam that Victor is not to be trusted and insists he should also watch out for Adam. Victor informs Nick that he and Sam will be helping Sharon with her appeal. Victor learns that Phyllis thinks Adam sabotaged the evidence to clear Sharon’s name. Phyllis confronts Adam about the memory card. Adam denies that there was any evidence to clear Sharon’s name. Phyllis informs Nick that Emmett, the forensics expert, clearly heard Sharon’s voice in the memory card. An emotional Sharon leaves a message for Adam with Diane whose voice she doesn’t recognize. Later, Sharon expresses her hurt to Adam about finding a woman in his room. He assures her that there’s nothing going on between them and admits that there is something left between him and Sharon. Sam informs Sharon that Adam is not a true friend. Nick urges Phyllis to get a statement from Emmett before starting her blog about Adam’s betrayal. When Phyllis’ blog goes viral, Leslie brings a copy of the blog to Sharon, who cannot believe Adam has been lying. Diane convinces Victor to become Kyle’s legal guardian by revealing that she is in fact double-crossing Adam. Once the documents are signed, Diane asks Adam to get Kyle out of town as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Jack has planned a getaway for himself and Kyle. Sam reveals to Adam that he sees him for the snake that he is.
Ashley and Jack take Billy home from the hospital. Ashley announces she’s throwing Billy a birthday party. Ashley invites Victoria to Billy’s party, but Victoria turns down the invitation because she doesn’t want to give Billy false hope. Sam tries to convince Sharon that she should trust him and not Adam, expressing his suspicion regarding Adam’s claim to have lost the only evidence able to clear Sharon’s name. Adam is pleased when Diane reveals that Victor has signed the papers to grant him custody of Kyle. He informs Diane that the next step in their plan to frame Victor is fake Diane’s death. Adam hands Diane an envelope filled with all necessary identification to turn her and Kyle into ‘Jennifer and Timothy Bilton’. When Diane informs Kyle that they must leave Genoa City, he refuses. Sam confronts Adam about Phyllis’ blog, demanding to know where the memory card is that could clear Sharon’s name. Spencer offers Sharon a deal if she will help him get Adam. Sam pleads with Sharon to take Spencer’s deal and admit that Adam assisted with her escape. Sharon is speechless when Adam confesses his love for her and asks her to marry him.
General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Ric’s History of Jealousy Where Elizabeth is Concerned Has Come Back Around
On General Hospital, Ric Lansing (Rick Heart) is about to fall back into dangerous old patterns by the foreshadowing during the Wednesday, August 19 episode. After first coming to see his brother, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and telling him of his plan to propose to Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) his longtime love tonight, Sonny has concerned.
Next, Sonny reminds his brother of what has happened in the past, when things have gone south with Elizabeth and wonders if it’s too soon for him to propose to her. What Ric did not tell Sonny is that he has seen the developing closeness between Sonny’s son, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and Elizabeth, which is propelling his urgent need to propose.
Meanwhile, Dante ran into Elizabeth at the park during a break from their mutual team softball games. She needs help with a bookcase after the game at her house. Dante wants to put it together for her. Later, Dante arrived at Elizabeth’s house, limping after injuring his knee during the game. Head nurse Liz wanted to check out the injury as much as Dante protested, which required him to take off his pants.

RIC BEGINS TO UNRAVEL
Outside Elizabeth’s widow, Ric arrives with a bouquet of roses and the engagement ring. When he leers through the widow he is shocked to see Elizabeth rubbing Dante’s leg while Dante is in his boxer/shorts. He storm troops into the house, demanding to know what is going on here? Both Elizabeth and Dante look surprised by his reaction. In the pick-up of today’s Thursday, August 20 episode (see GH video teaser below), viewers will learn the upshot for all three characters.
A VENGEFUL PAST
As longtime GH fans know, Ric has done some horrible, vengeful things in regards to Elizabeth starting back in 2003 after she lost her baby after Ric’s ex, Faith Rosco pushed her down a flight of stairs. Ric accused Sonny for the accident and to get revenge, Ric kidnapped Carly (who was married to Sonny at the time), and stashed her in a panic room below the house where he was living with Liz.
On top of that, Ric fed his wife Elizabeth birth control pills to keep her from getting pregnant so that they could raise Carly’s baby together after it was born. Eventually, Elizabeth found Carly in the panic room but ended up having a pulmonary embolism. When she woke up in the hospital, Elizabeth was all confused by what happened, and Ric convinced her that her vision of Carly was just a bad dream. Eventually, Elizabeth learned the horrifying truth and divorced Ric.
Years later, Ric noticed the connection between Elizabeth and “Jake Doe” who eventually turned out to be Drew (Billy Miller) A jealous Ric hired Hayden Barnes to show up and claim to be “Jake’s” wife. Elizabeth stepped aside, and when Ric planned to propose to Elizabeth at the 2015 Nurses Ball, Carly exposed his manipulations, and Elizabeth dumped him yet again. And those are just two examples of the lengths Ric will go to for Elizabeth!
So, we ask you, given the history of Elizabeth and Ric, how do you see this playing out with Dante in the picture? How will Ric derail their growing bond? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Steffy and Carter Get Lame Excuses From Their Spouses, and Try to Shake Off Their Night Together
If you caught the Wednesday, August 19 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, and if you were Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor), and your wife, who literally took off, threw of her wedding ring and abandoned their marriage to head to Paris, shows back up saying she overreacted and wants to be with him, would you bother to even take her back?
As for Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), now that Finn (Tanner Novlan) is giving her the spiel about how he took her for granted, how he is so sorry for not listening to her, and that Sheila will never be in their lives again, would you want to listen to that, either, after so many broken promises?
That’s the situation hungover Steffy and Carter found themselves, while still reeling from the seeming fact that they had sex the night before while drunk in the Forrester Creations CEO office.

STEFFY AND CARTER GETS EARFULS
Daphne (Murielle Hilare) doesn’t understand why Carter is being so distant, and he says, “You said I wasn’t family.” She wants to put all of what she said and did behind them and now explore other ways to have a child. Carter seems hurt and annoyed.
Back at the cliff house, Steffy is so upset between sleeping with Carter and getting drunk, and Finn and his mother, Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) in Monaco. She tells Finn, “I need you to stand up for me. I can’t live like this. I won’t.” Finn begs her not to let “one terrible mistake” (get it!?) tear us apart.
Finn promised Steffy he will get a restraining order on Sheila if it calls for it. He understands why Steffy is so scared of Sheila after she shot her … and him. In the closing moments of the episode, Finn pronounces how lucky he is to have the “perfect wife.” To which a rattled Steffy in tears goes, “Oh, I’m not perfect.”

STEFFY’S GUILT
Steffy is losing her grip at this moment as Finn says he wants to step up and be the husband he deserves. Along with Daphne, I kind of want to kick Finn to the curb, too. Then Finn lays it on real thick and adds, “You’re pure, you’re honest, you’re loyal.” Steffy interrupts, “Not quite.”
Suddenly a guilt-ridden Steffy says to Finn, “There’s something I need to tell you.” Can she actually get the words out about getting drunk and having sex with Carter …or, will she keep it under wraps so we can have months of the line “one terrible mistake?”
Take a look at some of the scenes between Steffy and Finn from today’s episode below.
Now let us know: would you bother to take back Daphne or Finn, if you were Carter and Steffy? Would you like to see Steffy just blurt out she had sex with Carter to her husband? Weigh-in via the comment section.

On the Tuesday, August 18 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, viewers were tuned-in to see if Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor), who were were both on benders, wound up having sex in the Forrester Creations CEO office.
As the Monday, August 17 episode concluded, Carter and Steffy shared a close moment where it looked like they would kiss. Now in the pick up which starts the morning after, Steffy awakens from the couch in the office, and realizes she has no clothes on and is mortified to see Carter on the end of the couch also naked and under blankets.
In that moment, Steffy realizes they had sex, and begins to unravel to Carter as she scrambles to get dressed: “We shouldn’t have done this. Oh my God, I shouldn’t have done this!”

STEFFY RACES TO GET HOME
Steffy’s panic of the situation escalates when she finds her phone, and sees multiple text messages from her husband, Finn (Tanner Novlan), desperately trying to reach her. He told Steffy he was on his way home from Monaco.
Suddenly, a hungover Carter speaks up and agrees. He says to Steffy they made a terrible mistake and wanted to talk about it, but Steffy kiboshed any discussion, not dealing with Carter, and racing home to be with her kids and Finn. As a disheveled Steffy ran out of Forrester, Carter stayed behind to straighten up the office and get rid of any remnants of their drunken binge.
Just then, Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) showed up as Carter is shocked. She apologized for running out on him, and details how when she got to the airport to board the plane to Paris, she realized she couldn’t leave him. She loved him too much, and asks him to please forgive her and her, “terrible mistake.” Daphne hugs Carter and he looks like a man who has no idea what to do or make of this entire situation in the moment.

WHAT WILL BE THE REPERCUSSIONS OF CARTER AND STEFFY’S DRUNKEN NIGHT TOGETHER?
Cut to: Steffy comes home and runs into her mother, Taylor (Rebecca Budig). She explains what happened with Finn and Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) in Monaco. Next, Steffy details how she took off her wedding ring after Taylor noticed it was no longer on her finger. Just then, Finn arrives. Taylor leaves the two to talk. Finn begs for Steffy’s forgiveness and the episode comes to an end with Steffy facing away from Finn and towards the camera, trying to figure out what to do next. Take him back?
Now the real story begins: it would appear that the intent was to have Carter and Steffy face long-lasting consequences of their drunken night together. So that, Steffy would become pregnant with Carter’s child, which would cause the ripple effect in Carter’s marriage to Daphne, who is unable to carry a child.
One other theory, unless, Carter and Steffy believe they had sex, but they passed out in compromising positions but nothing ever happened? Perhaps one of them, or both will have flashbacks of them carrying on together on the couch? Were they set up? Stay tuned.
So, we ask you. What happens from here? Steffy gets pregnant with Carter’s child? Does Steffy goes back to Finn? Carter goes back with Daphne? They really never had drunken sex? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, take a look below, and a bit of what went down when Steffy and Carter realize what happened between them.
