Beyond the Gates
Last Week...
Anita takes an important step, but keeps everyone in the dark. Someone is about to rock Anita’s world, and it’s all done over the phone. Could this be more news about her recent medical tests? Bill’s new client just may have a connection to Hayley. Is this going to be big trouble? Meanwhile, Bill is about to be approached by Joey with an offer he should probably refuse. Vernon finds himself in need of Andre’s help.
Bill makes a surprising request of Hayley! Anita is keeping a secret from her family. One thing we’ll say about Vanessa: She knows how to keep Joey on his toes, which she’s about to do by dropping a bomb on her lover! Who is poking around in Dani’s home, and how will she react upon catching them in the act? Kat and Tomas once again butt heads when it comes to their plans for the future.
Carlton puts a smile on Nicole’s face, and Shanice faces her fears! Proving her chutzpah knows no bounds, Leslie hopes Naomi might provide her with a bit of help. As June receives a very special invitation, someone manages to leave Samantha feeling shut out. We know Shanice is afraid of birds, so we can’t help but wonder if the gift Ted gives the nurse, which freaks her out, has something to do with our feathered friends! Elon thinks he knows what to expect from Izaiah. But after the young man has a chat with Eva and Jacob, he might manage to catch his pop off guard! Kial who? Looks like things are heating up between Nicole and Carlton!
Bill tells Hayley it’s time for them to have a baby! Looks like Leslie has figured out what Marcel is up to, because she’s callin’ him out! Another walk down Memory Lane leaves Bill and Dani reaching a new understanding. At the same time, Anita helps Andre deal with issues from his past. A conversation with an old friend leaves Randy — not to mention Hayley — more than a little confused.
Proving that the Articulettes stand strong and united, Sharon and Tracy are there during Anita’s hour of need. Leslie and Peaches have a big bonding moment. Later, the troublemaker hits Ted with news about the Duprees that will definitely prove shocking to him! Someone’s ears will no doubt be burning when Dani gets an update from Nicole!

The Bold & the Beautiful
Last Week...
Bill tearfully remarries Katie, and Eric passes the stapler to Ridge. Finn puts his honey where his mouth is, showing Steffy just how much he loves her with a passionate smoochAfterff Bill’s impulsive proposal in Friday’s cliffhanger, Katie gives him an answer. Considering the wedding gift he has in store, it’s gotta be a yes!
Bill gifts Katie a fashion house, and Taylor warns Deacon. Brooke informs Ridge that Liam and Hope weren’t the only couple that got married. Wonder if Beth officiates for Bill and Katie, too. Bill reveals that as his bride, Katie will receive… her own fashion house! Knowing how crankypants Sheila was to be left off the “Lope” wedding guest list, Deacon and Taylor worry that she’s losing it again. And they don’t even know how recently the gun-crazy psycho told Li that if anything happened between the shrink and her patient, she’d kill ‘er!
Katie agonizes over her decision, and Deacon has doubts about his marriage. Brooke asks Ridge the hard questions about Katie. Like what? Why did he once propose to her with a dang string? At the same time, Katie grapples with the monumental career decision she suddenly has to make.
Katie accepts Bill’s offer, and Steffy has unexpected news for Hope after Thomas returns. As Thomas surprises Steffy with his return to Forrester Creations, Deke rightly worries about his future at the design house. Gee, and it was only yesterday he was the man of the hour at a Welcome to FC party. Katie reveals to Bill and Will what is holding her back from diving into her new company and leaving Forrester behind.
Consider the truce over. Steffy and Hope butt heads over Deke’s firing and it! Katie’s news leaves Brooke’s jaw on the floor. Translation: Yay! Fashion wars, here we come!
Coming Up...
It’s not even Christmas yet, but hint at a New Year’s revolution!
First off, on one end of the canvas, Brooke’s jaw stays put on the floor after Katie’s revelation that Bill has given his “bride” her own fashion house. Why’s that? Because Katie’s already so far along in her thinking about her new venture that she unveils for her sister the name of the design firm!
Next step: recruiting Hope and Deke? Doubt Will will leave FC, where his primary responsibility seems to be locking lips with Electra/24/7.
Speaking of Katie and Bill’s son, on the other end of the canvas, Dylan is back, hanging with him and Electra at the beach house. “You should spend the night,” Will tells Luna’s killer. Dylan is surprised by the offer, but Electra backs up her boyfriend’s suggestion. “I’d love to spend more time with you.”
Something fishy’s going on, wouldn’t you say? The only question is what!
On still another end of the canvas, Thomas tells Hope, “I still think about those times… us creating together. That’s what I want to bring back.” Ha — but creating Hope For the Future designs or friction between the sheets? Perhaps both? Gee, Hope and Liam have been married all of a day or two, and already, they’re facing their first marital crisis.
Could lightning strike and lead Hope back into Thomas’ arms once again?
On yet another end of the canvas — how many ends does it have? — Eric and Donna put their heads together and came up with a delightful way to surprise the Forresters at their annual holiday shindig. Strange, though, that with Thomas in L.A., he doesn’t appear to be in attendance at the party.

Diane plots to put Victor in prison, and Jack rages at Adam and Chelsea. A scolding? Yeah, sure, Jack, that’ll work. Futile as it may be, he holds Adam and Chelsea accountable for their actions.
