What would your major B&B twist be?

No real substantial hints aside Krista Allen praising the twist in a tweet when she got the script and an interview with a line producer(?) who talked about how big it is and mentioned some people wouldn’t like it.   That’s all we have so far.

Thanks! I've been seeing buzz about it on boards and Twitter but couldn't find anything substantial. 

Ha! "Stephanie returns, played by a man, since Susan Flannery didn't give a [!@#$%^&*] about appearing feminine for the last decade of her run" or some sh*t. 

I do wonder if it involves Phoebe...

Idea: We find out B&B isn't real, but a daytime soap opera that has been on the air since 1987; and then we watch as the show itself transitions into being a show about the BTS doings at a long-running daytime soap.

I still think it’s Steffy-related and has something to do with Sheila keeping her role in Brooke’s ordeal quiet. Maybe she (alongside Thomas?) gets kidnapped and thrown in some secluded hideaway with some unexpected company (whether they be Ronn Moss’s Ridge or Phoebe or someone else). And that will account for JMW’s maternity leave, and her big return will be her and the unexpected company showing up alive in L.A.

Also: potentially sets up a Finn/Hope/Liam triangle.

Which would tie in with the speculation about Phoebe (potentially in a double role for JMW).
But I am still stuck on the "first for daytime" tease. 
A lot of stories we have mentioned would be big twists and I'd totally buy it (and some are fun!)... if it wasn't for that particular description which doesn't apply to any of our ideas so far.

That said, I am 100% agreing that it has to be Steffy related. JMW is just about to go on maternity leave, KA is the first one who mentioned the twist, etc.
It just makes sense that it is around Steffy

I wonder if they’re overselling it for hype, but we’ll see. I’ve seen Nelson Branco and Alan Sarapa both tweet that they’ve learned some soap bombshell about which they’ve had to swear to secrecy (or else). I was curious if it was about the person texting Jack on Y&R or the B&B twist.

Well there is some wording ("change the show forever") that can be easily dismissed as hype.

"Never done in daytime" is too specific for them to be able to walk it back so I don't think they would go there, especially since that specific wording isn't necessary to make it seem big, if it wasn't literally true.
And even if it is a "first in daytime" in a narrow technical sense because of some details that differs, it still wouldn't apply to most of the ideas on this thread - and I said that as someone who is impressed by most of them.
Who knows obviously but I tend to think they are actually throwing a Hail Mary here and we have to take it at face value... for now.

    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny or velvet or a textured fabric - I couldn't quite tell, but the jacket color was solid black) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.

      Btw, if he’s on again, you should apply to be a contestant
    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJJTEW8J5EA/ 1989 Daytime Emmys Victoria Wyndham gives moving tribute to Douglas Watson, AW's Mac Cory Harding "Pete" Lemay created the character Mac Cory & then Doug Watson played him for 15 years. When Doug died on May 1st, 1989, it was a huge loss to the show, the other actors & also to the fans.

    • Jonathan Kellerman is definitely the most EON/Slesar-like writer in the business right now.  Unfortunately, he's almost 80 years old.  Interestingly, he has a son (Jesse Kellerman) who's about 45, who's been studying under him.  I believe what makes the Kellermans such effective mystery & crime writers is their background in psychology.  
    • I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...
