With Steffy distracted by Aly’s death, Ridge steps in to offer help in the day-today operations at Forrester Creations. With his attention diverted, Ridge is unable to focus properly on designing. To ensure that there are no gaps in production, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) explains to his son that more creative responsibility will be heaped on him, but Thomas assures that he is ready to do his fair share, and then some. Ridge appreciates the commitment but notes that Caroline (Linsey Godfrey) will be in charge and so she will make the final decisions. In the meantime, Ridge is grateful that he and Caroline have tabled the discussion about having children. Since she appears to understand his position of not wanting to become a father again at his age, he feels…

Knowing full well she didn’t intentionally kill Aly, Steffy is still upset by Ivy’s continued insistence that her homicidal cousin be brought to justice. Steffy is hoping that by allowing Ivy to be the new rep for Forrester’s new California Freedom line, she will lose her thirst for revenge. However, Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer) is impressed with the control she exerts over Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), but when Wyatt (Darin Brooks) laments that he would never want to see her go to prison, Ivy points out that she needs to capitalise on her newfound power instead of being pushed aside. Wyatt expresses his discomfort on taking advantage of such a tragedy, but Ivy explains this is still about making Steffy face the consequences of her ruthless actions. Steffy panics when the…

Instead of fighting his prostate cancer prognosis, Michael has given in to the idea that the illness will inevitably kill him and he has embarked on a reckless and misguided bid to secure Lauren’s future after he’s gone.

Luckily, Cane (Daniel Goddard) has proven to be a sensitive and supportive friend to her as he also recognises the folly of a despairing Michael’s actions. When Michael continues to subtly manipulate situations so Lauren and Cane spend more time together, an angry Lauren hisses that he should be focusing on his wellbeing instead…

His life forever changed from the moment that he drunkenly forced Nikki’s car to swerve off the road and slam into a pregnant Christine, a merciful Neil is now hellbent on accepting whatever sentence he’s given for his actions, even if it means he spends the rest of his life in prison. Although he’s grateful for Nikki’s (Melody Thomas Scott) attempt to take the rap for him, Neil (Kristoff St John) has no tolerance for help or sympathy as his day in court finally dawns. Neil is especially sickened by the idea of Devon (Bryton James) testifying on his behalf, not wanting his son to air the dirty details of Devon’s affair with Hilary (Mishael Morgan) in court just to help him avoid a jail term. He angrily rebuffs Devon,…

The Abbott family and their business Jabot Cosmetics is in turmoil. Jabot’s computer system, along with those from Victor’s company, Newman Enterprises, have been hacked and sensitive information has been stolen. To everyone’s horror, all indications are that Jack has committed the cyber-crime in a shockingly uncharacteristic and misguided move to bring Victor to his knees. With Jack (Peter Bergman) and Phyllis (Gina Tognoni) currently celebrating their wedding and honeymoon on St Barts, Ashley (Eileen Davidson) is left scrambling to minimise the damage and Victor’s (Eric Braeden) threat to report Jack’s crime to the police. However, Victor is in no mood to compromise and cuts his argument with Ashley short, giving her 24 hours to get Jack back to town, or he’s reporting the crime to the authorities. When Ashley’s…
