According to the credits on 05/27, Ashlyn Pearce is no longer a contract cast member. Unless she goes recurring, her last airdate was April 22nd.

That's sad. The character never really took off. I wonder why they brought Aly on in the first place?

What about the news that Schae Harrison is back filming again though? Surely that must mean something for Aly

Aren't they recasting Thomas?

If so, that is another Forrester who could potentially run things, huh? Only having watched for a little over a year, I don't know his skills without checking..

Maybe Aly eventually goes off with her mother somewhere?

Rick's downfall will be so glorious to watch. I will save my popcorn

Guess this means Thorne will never come out of the basement lol.

So what's the story with Steffy winning back Forrester from $Bill?

Spencer owned Forrester and this was around the time that he and Steffy started growing attracted to each other. She tried to seduce him and as they were making out in his bedroom, Katie came home. Steffy snuck out through the window but took his engagement ring. She basically blackmailed him and said he needed to sell the company to REST, a new corporation she created which stood for Ridge, Eric, Stephanie and Taylor. Those 4 put up money to buy FC from Bill, each controlling 25% of it. Instead of being pissed that he lost the company, Bill actually admired how underhanded Steffy was and that she was able to outsmart him. It turned him on and they got closer after

Thanks Cheap! REST that's a clever name

Since Schae Harrison is coming back soon for another visit, I would guess Ashlyn is recurrning. Not much use for Ghostly Floating Head Darla without her daughter in some need of advice from Mom.

Seeing Steffy again is great!

I told JY I am not buying his big romantic love with Maya…..LOL

I am glad we haven't seen Deacon in a while….

Depends on...

which Thomas they want to go with. When he was played by Drew Tyler Bell and in the early days of Adam Gregory, Thomas followed in the footsteps his dad and granddad as a designer, and he didn't really have a head for business. That was why he needed Brooke to help him get the Taboo line off the ground. But things changed later. First, Thomas got resentful that Taylor gave her 25% of Forrester to Steffy, not even thinking about him. Ridge placated him with 5% of Ridge's stock, but it wasn't enough for Thomas. Still later, Stephanie offered Thom her 25% of Forrester when she died if he lied to Ridge that he had slept with Brooke while they were stranded on an island. Thomas started thinking about plans for the future once he got Stephanie's stick. He had all these ideas to modernize the company, automate, sell through the web and turn their boutiques into trendy hangouts. Things got worse when Ridge ran off to Paris and named Thomas as interim CEO in his place. Thom was ready to take control after Stephanie's death, but TPTB came up with this ridiculous loophole in the by laws that let Stephanie, as the original financier of the company (through her dad), renege on her deal and give her stock, and the CEO title, to Eric instead. Thomas competed with Rick to become president of the company and lost, and it was shortly after that when Thom moved to Paris,

Early Thomas wouldn't care about running the company. The Thom who got screwed by his mom and lost out to Rick will probably be ticked off when his sister is president and Liam is VP. So which one comes back?

Maybe Aly eventually goes off with her mother somewhere?

Might be hard since her mother is dead. Maybe Ghost Darla tells her to forget about a Forrester shoe line and go hit up "Aunt Sally's" connections in Europe or something? Or maybe Thorne knows a shoe manufacturer in Paris, and Darla advises Aly to get Dad to help launch the line?

That's something that pisses me off with Rick's attitude....it wasn't a Forrester business, it was Stephanie's father who put up the money for it...so even if Ridge is not a Forrester, Rick is not related at all to the founder.

But it was Eric (Rick's father) who did all the designing which turned Forrester Creations into a major fashion house, and it was Brooke (Rick's mother) who developed BeLief, which made a ton of money for the company, and she also came up with the idea for Brooke's Bedroom, the most profitable line for the company. So, even if it was Stephanie's father who put up the cash to get the company of the ground, Rick's parents have since then played a major part in making FC what it is today.

Which is fair but the problem is that Rick completely discredits Ridge and his right to the company bc he isnt Eric's bio son. That shouldnt matter bc he is Stephanie's son and without her, there would be no FC. Each has a claim to that company. Ridge doesnt deny Rick that but every chance he gets, Rick makes a slick comment about how Ridge shouldnt be entitled to anything at that company bc his bloodline is Marone. Thats not right

I wish they'd just rewrite that awful Marone decision (or ignore it forever and ever). It never should have happened. The Marone's aren't even on anymore (thankfully).

Loved Steffy referring to Ivy as ''What's-her-name''. I thrive on that kind of shade. Ivy's her own cousin

You're absolutely right. And Ridge has earned his place at FC on his own merit, not just for being related to Stephanie. His designs have contributed a lot to the success of the company. In fact, I would say that based on their contributions Ridge has a better claim than Rick.

I'm not feeling that Marone decision either but whether they re-write (which honestly I wouldn't mind) or leave it be, it's irrelevant due to Ridge's long history as a highly regarded designer at FC, as others have mentioned. And like others have also said, it was as much of a legacy to Stephanie's children as to Eric's children since it was her father who financed the company.

That shade that Steffy threw at Ivy made me chuckle at first but it also came off a little sad that there are no bonds between females on this show. When Brooke was Steffy's age, even at her most conniving, most libidinous self, Brooke was devoted to her sisters, in the early days of the show, at least. Even Stephanie had Taylor at times and had a shockingly sincere bond with Amber. I know if B&B is making Liam the great love of Steffy's life (they should reconsider this), she and Ivy will continue to be naturally antagonistic. Even though I think it risks doing absolutely nothing for Steffy, it could help give edge to Ivy.

Because audiences are trained that it's OK to have women fight because it's entertaining. I blame the Real Housewives garbage on that mentality. A show where they glorify throwing drinks at each other and tossing over tables. YAY WOMEN FIGHTING! WOO!

Me too, except than Rick has been in romantic relationships with two of his nieces. I can't see the show going there.
