Be my guest: The Bold and the Beautiful Two Scoops for the week of September 1-5

On The Bold and the Beautiful, Thomas came home doing the right thing, but that’s so last year. Let’s grab some scoops and dig in, shall we?

And you get a guest house, and you get a guest house…

The week started off with Will and Electra professing their love by having sex for the first time. Electra hosted her newly promoted boyfriend, and they had a romantic night in the guest house. Which one, you ask? Well, we’re not really sure since Eric announced this week that the Forrester compound is actually home to several of them — enough that every one of the people who had a bedroom now has their own place elsewhere on the grounds. Which of course begs the question: Why haven’t they been there all along?

Sure, they have enough rooms to house Ivy, Electra, Eric and Donna, Ridge and Taylor, Zende (who we thought was in the guest house before Will and Electra hooked up in it), presumably RJ hidden somewhere, and maybe even Thorne.

But no, the show moved to a new studio in Hollywood, and to help accommodate the massive move, the Forresters kindly moved out of the mansion so it could be rebuilt elsewhere. Also, it’s going to look a little different when we see the new set next week, as this new studio is so big that they no longer have to assemble and dismantle sets every day. So again, Eric commented that he was “having work done,” so it makes sense when it looks a little different.

Also getting an upgrade is Bill’s mansion, with a nice new back patio area and no more columns for Liam to get a concussion on. And, speaking of Liam, you’ll see him inexplicably using the design office at Forrester next week (why would he use his own), and behind him, the bookcase is gone.

Okay, now back to Electra and Will’s night they’ll never forget. Will spent his off-time thinking about the mystery woman in his bed the night before, and Electra got a good night’s sleep. So good that they overslept and were late for work the next day.

And baby makes four

Luna thought that taking an over-the-counter pregnancy test the very next day would be long enough to detect a pregnancy, so she ordered one. Unsurprisingly, it was negative, but not to worry, she’ll try again soon…or she’ll just lie if needed, she decided. Either way, looks like Will’s going to be told in the near future that he’s going to be a dad.

As for Luna, if she weren’t such a murderous psycho rapist, we’d almost feel bad for her for having to put up with her Auntie Grandma Li, who found a new target to bitch at in every conversation. It wouldn’t be so bad if she knew what Luna had done, but her constant harping is enough to make anyone nutty.

In fact, we thought she saved the snark for only those she was related to (Sheila included), but nope, that’s just the real Li, apparently. Because she couldn’t even hold it together professionally, let alone as a tactful friend when talking to Taylor about Thomas being in town. She’s just always gotta be the judgy one and let you know that she’s a better parent.

Or is she? Sure, Finn’s a doctor but he can be a bit mind-numbing sometimes. Maybe it’s from listening to his mom’s constant criticism and complaining.

Anyway, back to the predator. It’s only a matter of time (read: next week) when Will makes a move to find out who’s stalking him after being attacked. As for the big reveal, we suspect she’ll have a positive pregnancy test in her hand by then.

My fave grandson? You mean RJ?

Thomas came back to town in hopes of some positivity and instead got a dose of the gaslighting and toxicity that his dad’s been living with. When Ridge told Eric that his son was in town, Eric didn’t seem like he could’ve cared less. Which is odd because Hope would care, and if Hope cared, then Brooke would care, and if Brooke cared…then it must become Eric’s mission in life somehow.

But Eric telling Thomas to butt out of Ridge’s choices where Brooke and Taylor are concerned was more than laughable. Katie across the hall, mocking Thomas’ past and her and Brooke calling him needy, was a little much. Yes, he’s an adult, but so are they. So if you’re the son of two people, it’s ridiculous to want them back together, but if you’re the sister, father, or ex-husband, it’s okay? The rules around this hypocrisy are so confusing.

Speaking of Ridge, he just had to go and do it. Shocking moment, wasn’t it? Ridge backtracked on his commitment to Taylor and said he couldn’t go through with the wedding. We all knew it would happen, but at the same time, we gotta admit that a tiny little part of us did hope that this time it would be different.
