Susan Flannery

The hardest working actress in the game, Betty White, is set to reprise the role of Ann Douglas, Stephanie (Susan Flannery) and Pam's (Alley Mills) young-eating, mother-from-Peapack-hell on The Bold and the Beautiful this Nov. 18 for a multi-episode arc. Ann and Stephanie's powerful, gritty scenes are nice and all, but what I'd really love this time around is for Ridge's (Ron Moss) Mee Maw to regal the Forrester and Logan fashionistas with a nice St. Olaf story!

On January 14 2007, The Bold and the Beautiful, and the entire soap fraternity, mourned the loss of actress Darlene Conley. Conley played the role of Sally Spectra from 1988 right up to her death in 2007. We lost an icon of the genre, a true diva that would light up the stage no matter what the occasion. Sally was a fan favourite and would captivate the world with her outrageous outfits, big red hair and passion for the fashion industry. Sally's rivalry with Stephanie Forrester was what established The Bold and the Beautiful as having two mighty fashion labels going head to head for supremacy. READ MORE

Beth Logan decides enough's enough and has a showdown with big bad mama Stephanie. Meanwhile, who else thought she was crazy to shove La Forrester without a weapon?!

Morgan Fairchild appears on The Bold and the Beautiful this week as Dottie, Stephanie's friend. Dottie pitches to Stephanie (Susan Flannery) a Jackie M and Forrester Creations to a fashion challenge, for charity.

Deadline Hollywood's Nikki Finke has put the American Federation of Television and Rado Artists (AFTRA) on blast in a scathing new blog post detailing what Finke says the union is failing to do for its members. Here's what she has to say about AFTRA in regards to recent daytime soap opera turmoil. READ MORE

Yes! Brooke is exactly what Stephanie called her.

Takes one to know one.

Brooke is the most thoughtful and unselfish person in soaps.

The Tridge tots, AKA Thomas and Steffy, continued trying to keep Brooke away from their Ridge. They had all Brooke’s messages to Ridge forwarded to Steffy’s phone. When Stephanie found out she was thrilled that her grandkids were such schemers and told them to keep it secret. READ MORE

Steffy saw Brooke and Ridge hugging and got a little verklempt. Brooke went home to snivel over pictures of Ridge again, but Steffy was hot on her heels. Brooke said she’d “made a mistake” in ditching Ridgiculous. Steffy slammed Brooke for causing her father pain and was adamant that Ridge needed the peace and stability of Taylor/Steffy/Thomas.

Stephanie gave Whip the lowdown on Brooke’s current situation and sent him over there to try and keep her away from Ridge. Brooke was surprised to see Whip in LA. Of course, there was some reminiscing and the two of them had a pretty fun smooch. Brooke yanked his chain by pretending she was ready to get fresh in the bedroom: “take me upstairs.” Alas, she once more confessed she would always love Ridge, and she wasn’t ready for humpy-pumpy yet.

Meanwhile, back at the crypt, Ridge told Taylor she was “stuck with him.” How true. Then Taylor had to go and spoil it all by saying that he was “the best thing that ever happened to either one of us,” meaning Brooke or Taylor. Seriously, we’re expected to buy that, despite the fact that he keeps pawing them both? Ugh. They both look pathetic trying to “win” that jackass. Ridge didn’t look too thrilled at Taylor’s marriage proposal, although their grown children clapped and whooped. Good ol’ daddy Ridge. READ MORE

Didn't you R&B lovers dig the title? In the name of William Bell, Sr I hope Brad writes well for this man...

Nick and Bridget honeymooned in Hawaii, but Jackie and Owen kept them awake with their red hot monkey love in the next room. Initially, both couples had no idea the other was there. Bridget and Owen were the first to realise what was going on, and subsequently tried to keep the oldsters from finding out. What followed were hilarious hi jinks B&B style (i.e. pretty lame comedy). The youngsters kept smooching their partners to stop the oldsters catching a glimpse of the other couple, or dragging their partners into their respective bedrooms. The rest of Nick and Bridget’s honeymoon revolved around him being a grouch about one thing or another.

Owen and Jackie were much more fun. Who doesn’t enjoy watching the Jackster get her cougar on? Lesley-Anne Down sparkles and Brandon Beemer has come alive opposite her. By the end of the week, Bridget fessed up to Nick, realising Owen and Jackie planned to marry. Nick threw another mantrum and raced to the beach to try and prevent the wedding. Tough luck... they’d already said their vows and were driving off as he arrived. So, he’ll probably spend all next week being a grumpy old curmudgeon again. READ MORE
