This week, a guilt-ridden Nick can't withhold the truth from Brooke any longer: He got her daughter Bridget pregnant. "Nick is not someone who feels comfortable living with such a secret, and he knows he's done something Brooke would want to know about," explains Bell. "Plus, he truly wants to be a part of his child's life."

Nick keeps getting interrupted; therefore, he decides to take Brooke out to sea on his boat. "He wants her undivided attention as well as complete privacy," says Bell. "He wants to be able to explain himself without her running away." However, Brooke mistakes the outing for a romantic moonlight ride. "She doesn't suspect anything negative," notes Bell.

Meanwhile, Bridget's doctor suspects her pregnancy could be farther along than previously calculated. "She took the home pregnancy test immediately after having sex with Dante and sometimes the results aren't 100 percent correct," says Bell. "She was following her heart when she jumped to the conclusion that Nick was the father. The news is a curve ball."

Yep, that's right: An ultrasound proves that Dante is the dad. Bridget frantically tries to call Nick to stop him from confessing to Brooke but reaches his voice mail.

At sea, Nick tells Brooke that he and Bridget had a one night stand and now she's pregnant. Brooke is devastated. "What Brooke respected the most about Nick was his loyalty, and she believed that she had found a man who would never betray her the way her father and Ridge have," Bell points out. "So this is a huge disappointment and shock to her."

Brooke responds by pushing her cheating husband overboard! "At this moment, I felt Brooke had to do something significant because she's a take-charge woman." chuckles Bell. "So there's a shove and Nick goes into the water." Brooke tosses her husband a life raft and takes off in the boat. "She doesn't want him dead, she just wants him to be potential shark bait," explains Bell.

Upon reaching land, Brooke starts seaching for Ridge who has just returned from a European business trip. Donna has decided that this will be the night she and Ridge will sleep together, so the race is on. "Everything is topsy-turvy now," smiles Bell.

I'm shocked...

1. about the turn of the events

2. that this is not that dreadful

Seriously, if we Brad spares us another eound of Brooke-Ridge merry-go-round-to-hell the whole show might actually be looking up. Now we just need better storylines and get over this crap... Don't care for Bridget & Dante but at least Bridget won't have her father-in-law's child - hallelujah!

Dang! I got so excited thinking you were talking about Nick on Y&R and that Phyllis's baby was going to turn out to be Jack's. LOL!

Hmm... this doesn't sound too bad. It will definitely be an entertaining week. I'm guessing it will be a week of cliff-hangers which should be interesting. I love when Y&R has those big moments that stretch out for a week. Since the show is only half an hour, it keeps everything nice and tight and entertaining.

Ewww...the RACE IS ON to bed Ridge. That's filth.

Here we go again! Why is it that every time Brooke breaks up with either Ridge or Nick she automatically runs to the other person? Brad Bell needs to throw a wrench in there somewhere. What about Thorne? Hector? Dante? Hell, fulfill my fantasy and pair her with Thomas, proving that Brooke is truly a slut from the Valley.

I Didn't see Dante being the daddy coming.

I can't wait to see Brooke toss Nick in the ocean - hopefully he'll either drown or end up as shark bait!

However, thumbs down to a Brooke/Donna battle for Ridge(gag).

D*mn. I wanted Nick to be the father.

How many times are they gonna do this? Nick has a child one minute... the next, either it's not his kid after all or she dies like Nicole. Give him a child for crying out loud. I'd prefer he'd have a child with Bridget. Then Brooke will know how Bridget feels like every time she's betrayed by her own mother.

I have a feeling that at some point, Harry is going to turn out to be Nick's son. Mark my words!

This doesn't sound good to me. I think if any soap needs a total revamp, it's B&B. They recycle the same boring storylines and it seems like no one even cares about the show at this point.

OMG, you have that fantasy about her and Thomas also, I would so love to see it happen, that way she could have truly Bedded all of the Forrester Men.

Can u imagine Ridge's reaction if Brooke slept with Thomas.

Hopefully this will bring Angelica Bridges (remember she played Paige, an "acquaintance" of Nick during the Jackie/Deacon story) back to B&B. I loved her during this short stint...

That would make Phoebe's future boyfriend her brother!

I like Phoebe and Mackenzie Mausy!

Damn that twisted, incestous Forrester family tree!

One of the soap mags said that Harry might turn out to be related to someone on the show a while back, and I just assumed it would be Nick. I completely blanked on Nick and Ridge being half-brothers. Hmmm... unless that was just a rumor, who else could he be related to?

That would make Phoebe's future boyfriend her brother!

Not her brother. If Nick is the father they wont have the same mother or father. They would be cousins.

Well, if GL can do it...
