Ooooo As Errol said, and also according to SOD, B&B was preempted nationally today August 18, with some markets getting Finn&Steffy's 2021 wedding. https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/mondays-bold-and-beautiful-episode-preempted-nationally/ And, as Errol said, it's always uploaded to cbs.com and paramountplus.com by 3pm Pacific or 6pm Eastern, and it's still not up, so that confirms the preemption. It's not posted online on the Canadian website ctv.ca either. However it did air on broadcast CTV in parts of Canada, and the regular Canadian recapper posted their recap. Someone in Australia said they got to see it. So per what Errol said, the North Carolina affiliate will get it early, too.

As I said above I never watched the shows that had Thorpe and Stenbeck. But I did watch OLTL. I could NOT handle Mitch Lawrence at all. I had to stop watching OLTL whenever he was around. That character was repulsive to me and not entertaining. I agree that Leslie isn't at that level yet. I don't mind short arcs. What I cannot handle is an ongoing villain that's always present. Edit to add: I guess what I'm saying is that I could handle Leslie's presence as long as they don't try to humanize/reform her when I know she's a sociopath. I could handle her presence for the next several months if I had faith that she'd be punished and gone in a few months. I don't want a villain as ongoing cast.

Wait... is Peaches really sick? Or did she hear about the inheritance and decided to glom onto Leslie now?

I never watched whatever soaps the characters Roger Thorpe or James Stenbeck were on. So I cannot speak to that. But if they were longterm villains, I wouldn't have enjoyed it. On Days, Joe Mascolo was a great actor but I didn't enjoy the Stefano character at all. On Y&R, I loathed Sheila Carter. Constance Towers is a powerhouse but I loathed Helena Cassadine. We all view things differently and I'm not going to tell anyone what to enjoy or not. That's what makes a messageboard discussion fun. I want to be entertained, but personally I don't find villains entertaining at all. I find villains very aggravating. I don't mind villain arcs if the villain pays eventually. But I never want to see a longterm villain hanging around. That ruins the canvas for me. But I do understand that some viewers are entertained by villains. We're all different.

Hmm all the articles said it was unclear who Kelly Theibaud would be playing since her character had been killed off in 2023. So this might be like that.

tvinsider is citing the Deadline article: "Paevey will be playing a new character on GH, according to Deadline " But the Deadline article doesn't say that specifically. Deadline says "It’s unclear, for now, what role he will play since his previous character, the popular Det. Nathan West, was killed off in 2018."

And Randy is a "have not". Even though Doug was a cardiac surgeon who would have had a large income until he quit ... I noticed last week that Doug reminded Vanessa that he didn't come from money (unlike her). That fits since Doug and Randy grew up together. Curious if Doug has any "have not" relatives.

https://www.instagram.com/p/DNdwmG5pSzv/? johnstamos Heartbroken to hear about Tristan Rogers. He was so much fun to work with on @generalhospitalabc A true character. Tristan always had that sparkle in his eye that made me smile, and he was a damn good actor. More than that, he was kind to me when I was young, and I never forgot it. These are some pictures from my last day — including sweet ones of Tristan with my mom, and even a few with @demimoore . Grateful I got to share time with him. Rest easy, Tristan. 💔✨

🤣 That would be hilarious and perfect. 🤣

I still have PSTD from Sheila Carter's first years on Y&R. I never stopped loathing her and she has never seemed human to me. Nothing B&B has ever done has changed that for me.

Ugh. That's what everyone says when I state my opinion and NO. I do *not* want to watch Hallmark movies. Not at all. Sheesh. It really is possibly to have bad guys invoke lots of drama and then lose. Happens all the time -- weekly on SVU and periodically on Star Trek. I do agree that there aren't any heroes on BTG. Jacob tries to be a hero, but isn't one yet. Naomi was a hero until last week when she opened a closed adoption. I think Nicole is the only character that's sort of written as a hero, but they don't give her much of a point of view or much to do.

When the antagonists start dominating, I stop watching. I know it's an unpopular opinion, but it's my opinion. That's how I feel. I watch a lot of crime dramas, but I like it when the bad guys lose. It's the thrill of solving clues and catching them and then sending them away to jail. I don't mind criminals, I just want them to lose.

I think it will be convoluted and interesting drama, and I'm sure Ms. Tunie will be great. But ... not a good storyline for me -- I won't be feasting. The more I think about this, the more I absolutely hate the idea of Leslie getting more power and influence. It's a big deal for me -- I don't want villains to profit. I just don't. I feel there's enough horrid things in the world, that I want to escape to drama where things get intense but the villains ultimately pay. I *need* to see the heroes win sometimes. I've posted this before, and will say it again -- I don't want villains hanging out with the heroes. I feel it dilutes everything. Yes Trisha Mann-Grant is a great actress, but I just don't want to see Leslie anymore on my screen. I'd rather the actress got a job in the movies, she'd do great. Send Leslie to jail, don't give her money. Seriously if this starts being a Leslie-dominated show, I'll just stop watching. Life is too short for me to spend my time feeling frustrated.

Tristan Rogers and Nancy Lee Grahn guested on this 1994 episode of "Babylon 5". Her character was from the Minbari planet. Nancy mentioned donating to "go2.org" which is an organization to advocate for lung cancer patients https://go2.org/about-us/what-we-do-and-our-history/ https://www.instagram.com/p/DNZXJR6x_sq/ nancyleegrahn Tristan and I had recurring characters on Babylon 5 yrs ago. He told me that standing next to me was the only time he wished he was shorter so that he didn’t have to hover over my ginormous head. When the director asked him to look me in the eyes, he said “I’d love to but that head is too distracting.” Suave, wry, smooth, debonair and ridiculously handsome. This GH Aussie Icon left his mark and will be well remembered. Sending love to his family, and just donated to https://go2.org/ in dear Tristan’s name. XO

On Studio City, Sarah Joy Brown played the daughter of Tristan Rogers' character

https://www.instagram.com/p/DNbBzEhx7FY/ locicero_lisa Always meet your heroes.. if you get that lucky. The stories of my childhood fan letters to Tristan are true and well known, and he always took them with a big Australian size grain of salt (even when those letters were taped to the door of my dressing room) It was an honor and a pure delight to get to know him as both an artist and a friend.. the Monte Carlo episodes we shot together will be on my list of life highlights forever.. my heart goes out to his beautiful family… We miss you already.. 💔 Rest in Peace.

@Errol It happened again yesterday August 16, 2025 on the Tristan Rogers thread. I posted Finola Hughes' instagram tribute. It looked fine after I posted it. Link to my post https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/69279-rip-gh-star-tristan-rogers-has-passed-away-after-battle-with-cancer/page/4/#findComment-2045036 Then, in the next post, dragonflies posted a question about when/if Tristan had appeared on GH at the same time as Sean Kanan. But after dragonflies posted, my Finola post then displayed as spilling down over/around/and past dragonflies' post. screengrab of what happened: I noticed that and made the screengrab which I saved. But didn't stop to report it then, as I wanted to fix it immediately so that the honoring of Tristan wouldn't be disrupted. I edited my post to add a ton of lines of blank space under Finola's IG. It still overlapped some, so then I edited again to add even more space. Finally it looked okay and the bottom of my post now displayed as being just above dragonflies' post, with the extra spacing not displaying. This morning, I looked at it, and all the extra spacing I added is now displaying. But I'll just leave it alone since at least there is no more spillage..

I didn't know Carlivati had a law degree until you posted that. Found an old link -- (Link) -- but I don't think he's active anymore? Cheryl L. Davis is still a practicing attorney, so I'm more curious how she wrote or will write this inheritance storyline https://cldplay.com/about/

I agree. Okay I'll throw out some speculations ... Peaches, now that she's dying, has wanted to find Leslie and tell her the truth, but couldn't find her. So then maybe Peaches tried several strategies? Maybe Peaches' first step was that she recently contacted Barbara's family and told *them* that Leslie was their relative, just in case she couldn't find Leslie before she died, maybe they could find her? Okay that doesn't really make sense, but I'm just thinking aloud. At any rate, I think Barbara's family would have had no knowledge of Leslie's existence until Peaches recently told them -- *if* she told them. Also Peaches hired the investigator to find Leslie, so maybe the investigator filled in the missing pieces, and that gave Peaches the opportunity to tell Barbara's family about Leslie's existence, and then the family told Peaches about the money? Oh heck, I don't know!!! I don't think any of my speculations fit. For your other question: Wouldn't members of Barbara's family have already used up the blind trust that Anita set up so many years ago? Yes probably unless there were investments and interest on part of it, but still, likely used up by now. However Anita said that she just donated her personal share of the proceeds of the Articulettes reunion concert into the blind trust, so clearly the fund still exists. Still, lots of unanswered questions!

@Paul Raven posted: Leslie's original plan-running Laura off the road and Eva taking her pace, doesn't really make much sense. What was the purpose of having Eva work for Nicole? I thought Leslie's plot was to have Eva spy on Nicole and Ted and get inroads into their lives -- and in fact, Leslie got Eva to suggest to them that they have a big anniversary party -- something they hadn't even thought of doing until Eva suggested it. Leslie wanted a big party with everyone there, to reveal the Ted/Leslie affair publicly. I think I posted back then that this was the first time I'd seen a new twist on the old soap trope of a big reveal at a major event -- the twist this time was the revealer's coconspirator engineering the event to exist. And of course the other reason the show started off with that ... was to establish that Leslie is a sociopath.
