Somehow this non-twist is even worse than all the terrible things we were guessing it would be. A

Rest In Peace Kathryn Hayes.

My money is on Bridget who is returning to B&B.

All of this, and it gulls me that the elephant in the room is that Steffy and Thomas are not even Forresters. When is this show going to use that to get them kicked out of the company?? Thorne can do that in a minute if they ever revisited how Ally really died, and This would be his ultimate payback for all the times Ridge caused him grief too. 

I think most of us are glad they are ignoring the retcon of Ridge not being Eric's son (and I wasn't even watching back then and before that).

Will Grace become unhinged? The role was probably always gonna be temporary but a part of me hoped Cassandra Creech would be sticking around. 

Biggest plot twist in the history ever.. It's probably gonna be something stupid retconning something that was established over the last 20 years.

They should've never let Jacob Young go. Hot man, talented actor and playing the son of the only two characters (well, actors) that have been on the show since 1987. 

When will we get the news that Darin Brooks has been taken off contract?

Not a very flattering picture of Linsey Godfrey.

Oh wow! I thought she was really good on ATWT even if she was mostly stuck in awful storylines. Can't believe it's over 20 years ago already that I last saw her on the screen. I'll definitely go watch her first scenes.

My guess is Darin Brooks is probably out soon and I'm not particularly sad about it. 

What happened with Katie/Carter?

Maura West's first pregnancy was written into As the World Turns when she lost her daughter, Nora, with Mike Kasnoff. I cannot recall if her second or third pregnancies were written in or not. I know for her fourth pregnancy, Carly left town with Simon, and her final pregnancy was also not written in... instead, Carly developed an addiction to booze and provided some AMAZING content when she left Oakdale to go into treatment.

In 2000 Carly left town when Winston Lowe found her and in 2002 she was abducted in the spa storyline. I'm 99% certain that in either case the pregnancies weren't written in.

On the contrary, I'm pretty sure all 3 of Martha Byrne's (Lily) pregnancies were written in, resulting in Faith, Natalie and Ethan. (On another note: Holden was the father in all of the cases. I find it interesting because I'm pretty sure it's highly unusual for two characters (supercouple of not) to have so many children together in soap world). 

Anybody on B&B. The show might be trash but they casting (look wise) almost always checks out to be honest.

Bell is probably jerking himself being so proud of Carter's numbers this month.

I'm surprised that Shauna and Flo...and even Wyatt...are still on contract.

I imagine Denise Richards only has limited availability but Wyatt and Flo are disposable as hell. Heather Tom's numbers are also ridiculous for an actress of her caliber. This was a good month as well with 10 appearances so last month she was only on 28 episodes on the year to date.

I didn't watch at the time but I've seen clips of where he takes Bridget's virginity while he makes Eric and Brooke listen on the other end of the phone and honestly... iconic. 

Wonder how long before Bell gets bored of him.

If Bell has any sense it should be Taylor.

I was 10 when this regularly aired on TV. The raging hormones lol. I still turned out gay but Holly really tried.

I feel Brooke is too old now to be the victim, i want a equal rivarly. Honestly, if they had revamped Katie after brill I think her Vs Brooke coulda been good 

Tell me about it. I loved the short time Katie took over Spencer Publications right before/after Ridge came back. Why did they have to make her forgive her sister and her husband. She should've destroyed them.

I can't believe what I'm reading about the Eric / Quinn / Carter storyline. I don't know whether to laugh or to cry.

I don’t remember Craig Montgomery interacting with Lily and Holden 

My mind tells me Craig and Lily did interact in a storyline in about '05-'06 or '07. I thought he became friendly with her. I don't remember any more than this.

And also near the end of the show when it was revealed Craig had another son that Lily, Sierra and Lucinda kept from him they must have interacted.

Surprised to see Alley Mills back as well. 

A lot of contract stars not appearing. Will Bell ever know what to do with Bill & Katie again? HT has never been used in the way that an actress of her caliber should. The paycheck must be big for her to stay on so long. Wyatt and Flo are also complete dead weight to be honest.

Oh yes, B&B has a way of recycling their names. I really think it's easier to count the children who were NOT named after someone else (Thomas, Phoebe, Hope and possibly someone else).

Hayes Forrester Finnegan - named after grandmother's abusive ex husband
 

I didn't know or forgot about most of these but this made me laugh. 

So it's been quite some time there has been a B&B baby who wasn't named after someone. Going all the way back to 'Hope' according to your list, and she was born in 2002? 

Wait did Steffy really call her son 'Hayes'. I'm not gonna lie I'm kind of digging the way B&B handles the character names. It's wildly unimaginative, sure, but I do like how he's always keeping it close to home. We already have a Logan. Spencer's probably coming as that one user already posted.

Hope named her daughter after her grandmother Beth. Not to mention Brad simply slapped the names Bill, Caroline and Sally on their new counterparters. Steffy was named after Stephanie. 

We have Eric who named his son Rick. And of course Bridget which is Brooke + Ridge combined. Ridge who has a son called R.J. (Ridge Jr.). 

Bill has sons named Will and Liam. I think that's just hilarious.

I looked up the real names of Brad's children and of course one of his sons is named Brad.

They're probably gonna be as relevant as Julius and Vivienne Avant were to storylines, no? I wouldn't get my hopes up they're actually gonna be viable characters. 

Paul and Emily on ATWT had a stillborn. Completely unnecessary. A bit baffling considering both were long time characters and would continue to stay on and even ended up together when the show wrapped up. 

I also wish Julia didn't miscarry Jack's baby but I guess they knew Annie Parisse was leaving by that time.
