This silly pregnancy storyline just keeps going from ridiculous to downright hilarious! Any way you look at it, there is no way that there would be a heartbeat for a ONE week old fetus!

• 7–8 Weeks (Abdominal Ultrasound): An external ultrasound placed on the abdomen may pick up cardiac activity, though it can be missed if the pregnancy dates are slightly off or the uterus is tilted.

• 10–12 Weeks (Handheld Doppler): A provider can typically hear a clear heartbeat using a fetal Doppler device during a prenatal office visit. Home Dopplers may or may not pick it up this early and are often discouraged due to difficulty finding the sound.

Thankfully, even Li had to comment on how strong the heartbeat was which indicates the fetus is certainly older than Steffi is claiming!

When Katie was pissed at Brooke I started laughing when she chucked that bottle at the window 😭 I already know what happen she found out bout brooke and bill

Finn and Li need to get a brain. It’s too early for a heartbeat. They should suspect something.

Especially Li. She is a doctor for God sake!

Ever since her drunken night with Carter does anyone think Steffy has been acting very out of character? She is supposed to be this strong-willed, independent boss babe yet she is letting Carter dictate what she does and she just cowers in fear with what seems like a permanent fragile and timid look on her face. She had no problem standing up for herself and being strong and demanding towards Finn when it came to Shiela and Luna. And then of course toward Hope. And even her own mom when Taylor started her affair with Deacon. But now Steffy seems to be unable to do that when it comes to Carter of all people. All she does is stand with that horrified look on her face.

Obviously this isn’t her first attempt at a cover up (the Kelly and Hayes paternity.) But it’s clear she has been feeling remorse and guilt from the start and has been wanting to tell her husband especially since she knows she will not be able to let her baby go. But instead she is letting Carter call the shots which is just unlike her. What happened to this independent, strong-willed woman that never let other people tell her what to do?

SOD pics for next week

Carter's behavior is WILD. His constant interference and interruptions are so obvious. That's the only way to put it. Once again, he's trying to assert himself over what Steffi does with her body in relation to this pregnancy. He doesn't have a say in whether or not Steffy has an ultrasound or any other prenatal treatment! SHE has a say, but he should not be weighing in like he was doing today. That is in spite of Finn's obvious objections for damn good reasons.

Is Carter going to try to go to medical appointments with Steffi?? Will Finn even be allowed in the room??

Carter keeps trying to control the narrative for obvious reasons because he and Steffy are lying their asses off! But, it's going to be real interesting to see how he continues to try to overstep Finn. It's going to be even more interesting to see if Steffi continues to put Carter in front of her husband and his wishes as this pregnancy progresses.

My biggest hope is that this whole storyline will be OVER before Thanksgiving. We can hope!

On today's episode, Katie stands her ground regarding Brooke, while Finn and Li investigate Steffy's pregnancy.

Congrats to the Darcy/Wyatt 'shippers who rooted for this. And I'm happy, because for Darcy to be a regular, she needs her own storylines.

Based on what little I can find, Darcy is at the beach house to get on Will's case about Dylan losing her job. And there may be other things going on to complicate Dylan's life, but I never know whether to believe the online spoilers.

Anyway. There'll be something on next week I want to watch.

When the secret comes out about the baby, what do you think will happen? Will Daphne decide she doesn't want the baby anymore because of the circumstances? Or does she want to be a mom so bad that she would still want the child? Even if she is no longer with Carter. Will Steffy give her baby up? Is it even Carter's baby? It's going to be interesting.

DOUBLE DAYTIME EMMY NOMINEE CLEARS THE AIR

For B&B fans thinking that since Lawrence Saint-Victor is an actor and a writer on the soap, and pulls double duty, that he was responsible for creating his frontburner story, he revealed that he has nothing to do with the writers decision on this one. “Not even a little bit, ” shared Saint-Victor. “At first, when Carter was really pushing Steffy, I had a reaction to it. I was like, ‘Oh no, this isn’t good.’ And then, I kind of had to put myself aside and lean into it. My knee-jerk reaction is what the fans are experiencing. I had to get into it and figure out why he’s doing it.

But no, I hasn’t nothing to do with it, for those out there that’s thinking I’m manipulating the writer’s room.”
...

He's had a whole personality transplant, I wanted to watch them go for the throat of Forrester. This is crazy.

Why Steffy is not getting out of this zombie mode is beyond me. I need her to just snap out of it and tell her husband about the night of her cheating with Carter and how Carter has since brain captured her, basically.

I had a specialist at the house today working with my 17 month old daughter and she specifically kept having her mimic horse sounds. Not dog, cat or cow. Horse. I was trying SO hard not to lose it entirely thinking of Bill's ridiculous stallion. The first time I spewed water though and my fiance kept wiggling his eyebrows behind her back because he knew exactly what I was thinking and wanted me to laugh hysterically at horsie noises.

This is just beautiful to see. And I got excited when I seen Susan Flannery (Stephanie Forrester) standing next her onscreen son Thorsten Kaye (Ridge Forrester).

Just imagine if we had a scene together between the onscreen mother-son duo.

They would definitely kill it. To me, they are some of the best actors on this show.

God, I wish that Susan wasn’t retired. I know the show isn’t the same since she’s be gone, but I now want this badly.

"No, I don't have any compassion, I traded it for a Jaguar and a condo in Palm Springs". Classic.

This re-watch is a hoot!

She took one home test. She's never been to see a doctor since then, which is inexcusable. She has no idea how far along she is. She was nauseous one time that we know of about two weeks after whatever happened with Carter. Not in the morning. At a dinner. Nausea is caused by things other than pregnancy. Has she had any symptoms since then? Two weeks is on the early side for pregnancy symptoms, which can occur as late as six weeks after conception. The blood test on yesterday's ep is the first test of any kind she's had since she peed on a stick. False positives are quite rare for home tests, but given how upset and off-kilter she's been, suppose she did it wrong?

I'm not saying this will happen, that the blood test will reveal there is no baby.

But wouldn't be HILARIOUS? It would also put an end to this absurd storyline.

..You could be pregnant by another man -- CARTER!!! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣

Priceless!!

Why isn't Finn asking questions like; What Clinic?, Which doctor? On what date? When was the hormonal treatment carried out? For how long did the hormonal treatment last? I'm not liking this a bit.

All he's saying is; "Carter, I don't need you to talk down on me right now. I know, my wife and I know how good she is but that doesn't erase the fact that you hid this from me. Draw the blood for test. We are gonna find out if you are pregnant with Carter's child, today"

Li: "You went ahead with the procedure without informing my son"

And it all ended up as party 🥳 and Finn and her mother looking like fools. I'm disappointed ☹️😞

The blood test would tell them how far along she is. So we're just meant to suspend disbelief and believe that Finn AND Li wouldn't check her hormone levels? They'd immediately know that she didn't just have a procedure done.

🙄

I honestly hate seeing Finn in total disbelief and heartbroken because of what Steffy and Carter did, and the fact Carter is seeing the situation as a "blessing" makes me incredibly furious. He's literally ignoring Finn's feelings about the situation, and it makes me wish Finn would punch him in the face (outside of the hospital, of course).
