The Bold & the Beautiful

Electra finally learned the truth about what happened to the love letter she wrote Will. But if you think Ivy’s going to just say, “Oh my gosh, you’re right, it was kinda psycho and over-the-top of me to stoop so low to break up you kids,” you’ve got another think coming!

Auntie Virus admits that she orchestrated Electra and Will’s split — “and I’d do it all over again!” Well, you can’t say she doesn’t have the courage of her convictions, we suppose!

Electra disowns Ivy and tells Will the truth.

Will and R.J. Can’t Stop Fighting

In other developments, Ridge and Steffy may want to invest in separate playpens to put Will and R.J. in, because the two of them can’t cross paths without trading barbs if not also blows. Coming up, the Forrester heir accuses his nemesis of being a true Spencer through and through: avaricious, untrustworthy, the works.

More: Matthew Atkinson reveals big baby news

Will isn’t fazed, though. Not really. He points out that R.J. isn’t even really a Forrester, obecauseEric isn’t Ridge’s biological father, the late Massimo Marone is. (That could be important later; here’s why.)

Electra and Will reunite as RJ targets Dylan.

Dylan’s Being Stalked

Finally, just as things seem to be settling down for Miss Dylan, they get all [bleeped] up again. She’s at work at Forrester — and actually working! — when she gets a mysterious call. Who is it?

Business as Usual at Forrester Creations

Steffy, who missed all the drama surrounding Ivy and “letter-gate,” is finally back at Forrester Creations and making moves of her own. Starting with…? Oh dear. She informs Hope that, in the wake of Logan’s official launch, the company has to refocus its priorities, putting couture on the front burner and Hope For the Future on the back burner.

You can just imagine how well Hope will take that news!

When One Door Closes, Another Opens

Hope’s frown may quickly turn upside-down, however. Over dinner with hubby Liam, father-in-law Bill, and Katie, Hope hears her aunt’s concerns about Logan’s second line — as in, the fashion house doesn’t have one. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to add two and two and figure that Hope will jump ship to work with Katie and finally save Deke from waiting tables in the process!

First a Menacing Phone Call, Now This!

Ever since Dylan received that terrifying phone call from an unidentified someone, she’s been on edge, and so have we. WTH is the “unfinished business” this person thinks they have with Forrester’s newest employee? We may be about to find out.

More: A new Thomas Forrester?

Dylan is at work when she hears a noise behind a rack full of clothes. Is it Jamie, Kingsley, somebody playing a prank? It would seem not, because when Dylan actually sees who it is, she lets out the kind of scream you usually only hear in horror movies.

Could it be Luna, whom Dylan supposedly ran over with her car? EP Bradley Bell has sworn that the villainess is really, most sincerely dead.

The Bold & the Beautiful

Last Week...

As Will and R.J. get physical, Katie enrages Brooke, and Electra issues her 107th ultimatum. Better late than never, Daphne lays down the law, telling Ivy that the truth about Electra’s purloined letter must be told. Brooke is appalled by Katie’s choice. But Katie has some choice words for her sister; read ’em here. Hope Will’s been taking self-defense classes since he’s had a weak tussle with Remy, ’cause he and R.J. are about to get into a shoving match.

As Daphne grows ever more eager to rat out Ivy, Dylan says goodbye. Electra gives Will an ultimatum. Mm-hmm, because that worked so fantastically the last time she did so. As Dylan makes a heartbreaking decision, Brooke encourages R.J. to follow his heart. We all know where that will lead! Sheila doesn’t appear to be on this week, but we have a hunch we know how she’s spending her time off-screen — and Steffy won’t like it!

Ivy orders Electra to say four little words just before Will makes a heartfelt plea for a redo. Court is now in session, the honorable and proper Electra Forrester presiding. Will and Ivy, separately, take turns pleading their case to Electra. Ridge scolds R.J. not to bring his personal life to the office.

Dieu merci! As R.J. and Ivy go on the attack, Daphne finally approaches Electra with the awful truth. Ivy finds an ally in R.J. Gee, who would’ve thunk it, right? The aunt who wants Electra with R.J. and R.J. himself, a team? The burden of Ivy’s nasty secret weighing upon her, Daphne looks to Carter for advice. Heaven knows he’s seen a few of these workplace scandals play out!

“Letter” have it! Electra finally finds out how low Ivy stooped to sink her romance with Will. Why exactly does R.J. hate Will so much? Is it just that Forrester Creations isn’t big enough for two baby-faced Casanovas? Well, we’re about to find out as R.J. spills the tea. Ashley Jones lands a role on Beyond the Gates — will she be bringing Bridget to Fairmont Crest or someone else? Finally, Electra finds out the whole awful truth.

Coming Up...

Electra finally learned the truth about what happened to the love letter she wrote Will. But if you think Ivy’s going to just say, “Oh my gosh, you’re right, it was kinda psycho and over-the-top of me to stoop so low to break up you kids,” you’ve got another think coming!

Auntie Virus admits that she orchestrated Electra and Will’s split — “and I’d do it all over again!” Well, you can’t say she doesn’t have the courage of her convictions, we suppose!

Will and R.J. Can’t Stop Fighting

In other developments, Ridge and Steffy may want to invest in separate playpens to put Will and R.J. in, because the two of them can’t cross paths without trading barbs if not also blows. Coming up, the Forrester heir accuses his nemesis of being a true Spencer through and through: avaricious, untrustworthy, the works.

Will isn’t fazed, though. Not really. He points out that R.J. isn’t even really a Forrester, since Eric isn’t Ridge’s biological father, the late Massimo Marone is.

Dylan’s Being Stalked

How many seconds do you think it will be before Cane tries to manipulate the latest addition to the Winters family?

Sally suspects she’s pregnant — and [Spoiler] is declared dead! #awkward — Chelsea surprises Adam and Riza in Sin City. Matt, as he tends to do, strikes back at Nick. Which we suppose makes it Nick’s turn to strike back at Matt? Sharon might as well try to make pals of Victor and Jack. Instead, she attempts to repair Devon and Mariah’s shattered friendship.

Danger strikes after Adam is taken to Nick’s body — and Sally shares life-changing news. His life in tatters, Jack leans on his former wife Nikki. Hey, it’s not like he’d get any empathy from his current wife! Spyder spins a web, which Adam uses to force Matt’s hand. Sally’s patience is tested. But then, since she’s with Billy, isn’t that an everyday occasion?

Even before Mariah’s fate is decided, Camryn Grimes tells all about her new role — get to know her “intelligent and resourceful” character.

[Spoiler] is lured into a dangerous trap — plus, Jack and Nikki consider going nuclear on Victor. Victor, who set up Jack to be raped by Patty, helps Diane, who refuses to acknowledge that her husband was kidnapped and drugged, give the victim a taste of his own medicine. We didn’t think we could get more upset about this storyline, and yet… Lauren and Michael begin a new chapter. Sharon gets the hell outta Dodge to help out Nick.

Coming Up...

Holden turns to Claire for support, Cane does Lily a solid, and Victor dangles a carrot in front of Phyllis that she simply must have.

Monday, April 20:

As they sit with the revelation that Sally is expecting, Billy and his sweetheart process their new normal.

Lily asks Devon and Nate to see Holden in a new light.

Stephanie connects with an old friend. Given how many years the doc has been away from Genoa City, it would almost have to be an old friend, wouldn’t it?
