The Bold & the Beautiful

Last week..

Business as Usual at Forrester Creations. Steffy, who missed all the drama surrounding Ivy and “lettergate,” 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!

Katie tells Brooke she’s old 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!

Liam wants Hope to work for Katie, and Donna squares off with Brooke. 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? 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.

Katie and Hope consider an explosive proposition,n and Dylan gets another scary call. 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. But he also played that trick with Li, Finn, and most recently Sheila. So we’re not even 50-percent convinced that Lisa Yamada isn’t coming back, never mind 100-percent.

Coming up...

Dylan’s mystery caller puts her in quite the pickle, Steffy and Hope compete to see which of them can become more aggravated with the other, and Katie floats an idea that leaves Donna’s sister in shock.

Monday, May 4:

Though we already figured out who it is — the hair was a “dead” giveaway — the identity of Dylan’s mysterious caller is officially revealed.

Liam is sure that he has the perfect solution for Katie’s designer problem — and for some reason, it doesn’t rhyme with “eek” but with “elope.”

Tuesday, May 5:

Poor Dylan is put in a difficult position as her caller seeks to address “unfinished business.”

Perhaps not coincidentally, R.J. vows to always protect Electra. Get ready, bro, ’cause we suspect you’re about to get your chance.

Hope reaches a(nother) breaking point with Steffy. So much for all that come-together BS from when Liam had his fake brain tumor.

Wednesday, May 6:

Brooke’s painted Katie as the devil incarnate. But the blonde nevertheless extends an olive branch to her sister.

Daphne makes Dylan an intriguing offer.

Thursday, May 7:

Hope urges Brooke to take Steffy’s place as co-CEO of Forrester Creations and claim what she’s entitled to at the fashion house.

Carter warns Ridge and Steffy that their actions are sure to have consequences.

Friday, May 8:

Steffy becomes more frustrated than ever with Hope and her dang line.

Donna frets that Katie is destroying the family.

The Young & the Restless

Egad… Can [Spoiler] keep Phyllis out of jail?! Cane receives life-changing — and, for Malcolm, potentially life-saving — news.

Nick’s life hangs in the balance, and Matt blows the garage sky-high. Nick’s addiction is out of control, and he finally hits rock bottom. Phyllis has been adamant that she’s not giving up Newman Enterprises Summers Conglomerate, so Victor makes good on this threat. Can’t imagine what leg Lauren has to stand on, but she nonetheless holds her ground with Daniel. Speaking of Phyllis’ son, is he about to find himself in the middle of a whole new love triangle?

Sienna shocks Noah, Nick, and Sharon, and Billy pops the question. Adam forces Nick to face the truth about his addiction. Off Cane’s news, Lily shares a promising update with Stephanie and Holden. Presumably, she tells Malcolm, too. It’s Billy’s turn to surprise Sally.

Jack hatches a plan, and Sally says yes. Victor forces Michael’s hand. Jack might be smarter to stay off the battlefield. Instead, he reveals a new plan of attack. Cricket threatens Phyllis, setting in motion a rematch of their age-old feud. Patty’s never been one to pass up an opportunity to stir the pot. Thursday, it’s Kyle’s buttons that she pushes.

Nick comes clean, Victoria throws Billy under the bus, and Matt’s alive. Previously, it was Adam, Victor forces Nick to come clean. Victoria prepares her defense against Phyllis. Once again, Sharon questions Sienna’s loyalty.

Coming up...

Lily’s hopes of saving Malcolm are dashed, Victor and Nikki refuse to go from break-up to make-up, and Matt Clark shows up in the last place that he should: Genoa City!

Monday, May 4:

Victor’s lips have always had difficulty forming the words “I’m sorry,” so needless to say, he makes no apology whatsoever to Diane.

“How could you?!?” Yep, Lily is gonna have to answer to Nikki about her deal with Victor.

Billy should be well-versed in dealing with Victoria, what with them having been married. But will he be successful when he bargains with his ex?

Sounds to us like telling a cat not to knock stuff off the counter. Nevertheless, Jack tries to set boundaries with Patty.

Claire makes a bold move to support Holden.

Thursday, May 7:

Distracted from her efforts to conquer the world and stay out of prison for a hot minute, Phyllis is troubled by Nick’s behavior.

Ah, like the bad penny that he is, Matt Clark turns back up in Genoa City.

Cane makes a promise to Lily: Come hell or high water, he will make it to New York to save Malcolm. The question is, is that a promise that he can keep?

Friday, May 8:

Nick reveals a secret to Victoria.

Clearly, Chelsea was more piqued by Riza’s talk of her steamy relationship with Adam than she let on. Now Chelsea’s asking him directly about his and Riza’s affair.

Lauren gives Phyllis a warning. Odds of Phyllis heeding it? Slim to none.

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

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.

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.
