In Los Angeles on The Bold and the Beautiful produced such an old-school cliffhanging episode for Monday that all hats go off to the writing team!  Two people called me and asked, “What dog you really think us going to happen?” Not texts — actual phone calls. Five major storylines, all strong leaves the ‘what will Ridge do?’ issue as the most exciting and important.

episode 202

In Genoa City Wisconsin on the Young and the Restless, new foundations are made, while Ben “Stitch” Rayburn is starting to creep out a lot of people. Meanwhile, the addition of Ashland and Tara Locke have made Victoria finally shine in her role in the business world.

The Young and the Restless on Friday featured Ben “Stitch” Rayburn, M.D. and his ability to shadow-box Victor Newman while holding a porcelein mug full of black coffee without spilling a single drop. Also Kyle told Tara in subtle understatement that the finding out that he was Harrison’s biological father was a “real game-changer.” Sally and Jack have one drink at Society that turns onto the two “exhausting all topics that humans can talk about.”

On the 7-2-21, Bold and the Beautiful, we get a look inside what happens when people become intermeddlers. They think that the pain of what they believe is the truth in the short-run justifies eavesesdropping on (often through closed prvate doors with ears-to-the-door, walking into the offices of (often unannounced) the CEO of a company you have worked at for 6 months. That would be Paric and Brooke, the morality police doing it all for their “good friend” Eric and “loving sister” Zoe. Carter’s “I lied” on Friday has to be a record for admitting what he did in front of every important person he knows in Los Angeles and in front of the people who will decide whether he will continue on as in-house counsel, Chief Operatings Officer at Forrester.

The issues on both shows were about the decisions one makes in regard to whom they ought to place trust, and how much of that trust do they want in one place.

The Bold and the Beautiful

Have you ever been so blindly loyal to someone who has full legal capacity over you who takes your blind loyalty as a ticket to take you to the cleaners, don’t pass go, right to jail? Ever have a friend turn on you as that of what we saw on The Bold and The Beautiful?

Speaking of blind loyalty, Summer cannot be deterred from Kyle. She gave a kidney to Lola who was married to: Kyle at the time of the transplant. Add to that being the step-parent to  achild she doesn’t know to a child co-parented by Ashland and Tara Locke, the most haughty and arrogant characters that have been on since Jeff Bardwell was last seen.

Marvin Gaye wrote the 1960s song ‘What”s Going On’, and Eric Forrester’s use of the phrase has the same rhythm to it. So one would think: same rhythm, same words, same meaning, right?

I thought –

  1. how well do you have to know someone before you agree to marry them?
  2. when is it time to forgive someone if you do not think they are being fully genuine with you?
  3. should you give a partner another chance after you find out that they are not as perfect of character as you might have thought?

episode 91

Season 34, episode 91 of the Bold and the Beautiful, raises many issues and asks a series of questions, among these parts of drama lie the harshness of the unknowing:

  • who does Zoe really love?
  • who really loves Zoe?
  • who is the father of Steffy’s baby?

what should one who knows bad news do knowing that ‘no one likes the bearer of bad news’?
