I'm a bit out of the spoiler loop when it comes to B&B these days but is true that Beth (long time no see!) is gonna assault Stephanie in an upcoming episode?

Just in time to make room for a long vacation for Susan Flannery?

I don't understand the Nikki Newman reference. Is this about Nikki's "death"?

Actually it is Nikki who is doing a Stephanie since it was Stephanie who lost her memory and was missing for months living on the street as a homeless woman.

I thought by the sound of the Thread that Susan Flannery's was in contract negotiation's............

I am not sure if Susan will take an extra summer vacation this year since all B&B actors has gotten a 5 week vacation this summer.

Hmm ... I stopped getting SOD a long time ago but they still send me their "Insider" email and these were the spoilers for next week:

B&B: On Thursday, August 27, Stephanie and Beth do battle over Taylor and Ridge.... Brooke finds comfort with Ridge on Friday, August 28, and a confused Beth gets physical in her catfight with Stephanie.

Oh, I wish Beth had stopped being confused and MTS had played her. At this point, any recast and a forgetting of the dementia part would be cool.

You wish she'd left Y&R?

I don't think MTS playing Beth would do nothing to solve B&B's gaping holes in the time-space continuum and people who have been shooting out kids at like age 9. To think of her as a mother to KKL/JG/HT(it's been done... ) is a big enough stretch but no worse than Robin Riker, but to think of her as a grandmother to Ashley Jones and Kyle Lowder... that would just blow everything apart. Let's get an age-appropriate actress to play Beth, so that they can show her more than a few times a year, which is probably because even they know it's awkward and doesn't work.
