On The Bold and the Beautiful this past week, Taylor Hayes (Krista Allen) was
informed by Steffy and Thomas that Brooke kissed Deacon on New Year’s Eve and
they have camera footage to show it.
Allen showed Taylor’s mixed emotions in her reaction to the news
beautifully: first shock (wide eyes, gaping mouth), and then not so shocked
(slight smile, nervous giggle, while covering her mouth). After all, this is the Slut of the Valley we’re
talking about; it shouldn’t be a shocker to Taylor! Taylor decides to tell Ridge which is hard on
her. Taylor does have feelings for Ridge
and would love for Brooke to be out of the picture, but she knows how Ridge
feels for Brooke and she doesn’t want to see him hurt. Taylor is anxious to tell him; Allen captures
this by Taylor’s nervous ramblings when Ridge first shows up. Ridge thinks he knows what Taylor is going to
tell him; that Brooke relapsed on New Year’s.
Taylor was itching to tell Ridge that there is more to the story (Allen’s
shifty eye glances at Ridge were spot on!) and she ultimately gets around to
telling Ridge about Deacon. Ridge is in
disbelief and Taylor is heart broken for him.
Allen’s teary eyes sells the audience that her intentions are good in
telling Ridge the truth; she is in no way happy about the news (even if it could
ultimately be a benefit to her in the long run). Later on, Taylor decides to confront Brooke
herself. Allen’s line delivery of “Well
at least I knocked first” which was a jab to when Brooke showed up to Taylor
and just waltzed in the past was so good and shows off her comedic timing! Fans are looking forward to Taylor and Brooke’s
show down and to see what else lies ahead for Allen in this storyline!

goodbye to Louise or choose to run away with them. Maxie decides to try to convince Peter that
they should leave Louise in Port Charles as a life on the run would be no life for
their child and compares it to Peter’s own childhood spent with Faison on the
run. Peter ultimately agrees, but won’t
let Maxie call someone they know.
Instead he talks her into leaving Louise dropped off at a fire station,
where it would be anonymous. Maxie has a
tearful goodbye and leaves one of her earrings behind with the baby so it would
help people be able to realize Maxie was with the baby and Peter. Chase and Anna are able to put those pieces

her on a boat, but Peter changed his plan and they are in a car instead. BLQ visits Valentin at the hospital to tell
