The Bold and the Beautiful week ending October 18 (X) Week of October 14: It’s all familiar territory for Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Taylor (Rebecca Budig) on The Bold and the Beautiful. After swinging by the Cliff House and peeping in on Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Taylor, Brooke feels the need to confront Taylor. Brooke approaches her and tells her that she knows what she saw, but Taylor clarifies that it is not what she thinks it is. Meanwhile, Eric (John McCook) questions Ridge about what’s really going on with him and Taylor. Over at Il Giardino, Brooke stops by and has a chat with Deacon (Sean Kanan), where she informs him that things are looking up for Hope (Annika Noelle). Speaking of Hope, Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) walks in the design office on Hope and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and instantly knows what’s going on. Will she figure it out?

We could also bring Martha Byrne into the discussion with her concession and ultimate axing from As the World Turns. She agreed to the pay cut, as she knew the financial placements World Turns was in and asked for her episode guarantee to remain; as a result, Christopher Goutman put a casting notice out the same day to replace her. Per her quote to Michael Logan, 2008: ❝ This was the situation: Last year, I was asked to take a tremendous pay cut, and I did so willingly because I love ATWT and understood the financial situation the show was facing. I was willing to do anything to keep the show going, including giving up money, so we worked out a one-year contract. One year later, we go into this new contract negotiation and I had only one request. I thought it was only fair - and I wanted it on paper - that I would work the same amount of days this year that I did last year. I considered it a gesture of good faith on their part. I asked for nothing else. Zero. But I was told that this could not be put into my contract and, that same day, the show sent out a breakdown notice to recast my role ❞

I imagine something like this, as the camera pans "beyond the gates" to the community.

I just want something smart and something that looks more than a Windows Movie Maker opening, which is what I feel the Knots Landing openings were. Well, the headshot openings [would] work if they used the same videographer/photographer. A lot of times, they don't, which is why something like General Hospital's present opening keeps looking off. They've switched photographers several times. NGL, I hated this theme. I much preferred the second theme, which felt more soap-like and had more of memorable feel to it.

Same; I have that same memory!

Exactly; Maxie's calling her out at the funeral, while harsh, was warranted. Absolutely warranted. She really did come back and attempted to redeem herself, as well as rekindle her lost love with Mac, which allowed him to be brought back into the fold more.

Felicia's 2012 return was one of the good things the "writer" did do right, and when the two actors fired themselves, they put her on as a series regular, which was a SMART use of budget!!

I give them that... at least in their most-recent returns.

And, if they have to, let it be stock clips from the show so they can be changed out (a-la Guiding Light)

Meet Electra Forrester: Bold and the Beautiful Newbie Laneya Grace Introduces Her Character

He's been on staff since 2004.

Which says a lot, since Scott Reeves is only ten-years older than Shaun Benson IRL.

Her whole album is full of bops!

Wish Ultimate Kylie had been pushed to 2005.

"Secret (Take You Home)" should've been the fourth single.
