Love a storyline? Want to throw the remote at the screen during others? Our Two Scoops columnists feel the same way. Each week, they provide their own commentary on the action in the Two Scoops column.

January 1, 2024

2023 was a year of self-actualization for characters who took risks to achieve their desires, no matter the consequences, and for characters who made much ado about dropped plots and storylines. Let's get two scoops deep into The Bold and the Beautiful's best, worst, and biggest nothing burgers of 2023. Plus, learn which characters will not make it to 2024! Let's scoop!

January 8, 2024

B&B 2023 still had some last-minute surprises in store with the brief glimpse of an ethereal Stephanie and the sudden disappearance of Taylor. But B&B 2024 is ready to blow Thope wide open, between a surprise Xander bringing Emma back from the dead and Finn setting himself against Thomas! It all comes back to you with Two Scoops' Mike.

January 15, 2024

Luna was all dressed up but had to tell Zende where to go -- is Zende the new resident stalker? Finn is digging so hard for the truth about Thomas, it seems he may be falling for Hope. Should Finn's role in this story belong to Liam, not a man married to Hope's nemesis? Thomas told the &quot;truth&quot; about Emma's death but left out the part about killing her. Plus, get the two scoops on which character is already back after leaving.

January 22, 2024

Chickens came home to roost as Hope reeled over Thomas' involvement in Emma's death -- meanwhile, Eric came home from the hospital, and R.J. was about to find out the bedroom in his new home was already occupied. But Wyatt only made us miss him more by coming home to say goodbye. Get the home team advantage with Two Scoops' Mike!

January 29, 2024

Last week, Li sex-shamed Poppy and claimed it was "like mother, like daughter," but how right can Li be if Luna is too naïve to tabulate that Bill plus Poppy might equal Luna? Speaking of Poppy's morals, is Li's diatribe against Poppy's lifestyle a storyline beyond its expiration date in society today? Maybe that's a question for Hope, who is driving her morals off the cliff along with Emma in exchange for passion. Let's scoop!

February 5, 2024

Poppy's head nearly popped off when Luna cornered Poppy with questions about who fathered her, while Thomas playing big daddy made Hope forget about the six millionth reason she shouldn't be his little girl. Not to be outdone, Luna was over the moon when R.J. channeled daddy Ridge to stage his first seduction. Beget all the soapiness with Two Scoops' Mike!

February 12, 2024

When will B&B writers learn that pills, berries, alcohol, mints, and sex don't mix? Zende and Luna fall victim to the soap's most controversial and repeated plotline. Is it compelling storytelling, or did Zende get sacrificed for the golden child? Bill stepped up, only to be let down, but maybe there's a cosmic reason he should feel lucky not to be obligated to "Nozawa Power." Eric made an honest man of himself by marrying the most deserving bride in show history.

February 19, 2024

While Eric was on a high regarding his new marriage to Donna, he had no idea that his grandsons were being positioned to cross swords because Luna had experienced a vision of love. Upon learning just how extra strength Poppy's mints were, Luna blamed Poppy instead of Zende and faced pressure to candy-coat her secret. Consume it all with Two Scoops' Mike.

February 26, 2024

Steffy lit a fire on the dark side of Sheila. Steffy deserves to get singed by the flames, but will it be the rise of Steam? Hope billowed about Sheila, but she's blowing the same smoke Brooke does about Thomas. The show minces words about the mints, blaming everyone but the one who ate them. Next, Zende had to be on something to think Luna would choose him. Plus, can people please get a room! Forrester is not for sex and conversation! Let's scoop!

March 4, 2024

Ding dong, the witch is...? Out of nowhere, Steffy stabbed the attacking Sheila, whom a paramedic declared dead at 8:07PM. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief except Finn, who cried for his mommy. But is Sheila really dead? And what left-open details make this columnist think she ain't? Get ready for the world with Two Scoops' Mike!

March 11, 2024

Anyone who saw Finn's nightmare knows it spells doom for his marriage. But will Sheila's death signal the end of Thomas and Hope, too? And do you feel sorry for Deacon, or are you annoyed by his self-pity? Plus, was Eric's wedding just two days ago in reel time?

March 18, 2024

Even with her daddy dilemma and accidental sex with Zende, Luna's problems are comparatively normal right now. But could both Finn, who can't get his dead biomom off his mind, and Hope, who can't stop jonesing for former tormentor Thomas, be dealing with disorders stemming from unprocessed trauma? Make an appointment with Two Scoops' Mike!

March 25, 2024

If Hope thought it was bad having Liam's ex in the middle of her marriage, how about Thomas' sister in the middle of her "situationship?" It would be easier if Hope got engaged and shut everybody up, but why can't Hope accept the engagement ring if Thomas is so great? Is it because Tom's Just Ken, Hope's little toy man? Plus, is Poppy being unfair or looking out for her family by keeping Luna's paternity secret? And can Liam get any more desperate? Let's scoop!

April 1, 2024

B&B characters and fans alike seem to be polarized over Thomas calling game over on Hope after she turned down his third of three proposals. But is the obsessing, gaslighting, mannequin-kissing stud finally making a healthy choice for his mental health in moving on from her? Get the diagnosis with Two Scoops' Mike!

April 8, 2024

This past April Fool's week, the joke was on L.A. Ten toes at the crematorium proves it ain't Sheila who's getting burned! Ten piggies in the furnace leaves three smoldering questions: Will anyone believe what Deacon saw? Who did Steffy knife to death? And will we ever see Sheila Carter again? Thanks to Finn, Hope might actually start "processing" and figure out why she ruined two perfectly good families. Plus, wardrobe nightmare! Did Hope and Steffy mug Elvira for her top and skirt? Let's scoop!

April 15, 2024

Luna finally got the all-clear to tell R.J. about her minty fresh sex with Zende, though the real tell-all was happening across town, where no one believed Deacon's insistence that Sheila was alive, despite having experienced her resurrections before. But then B&B poured some Sugar on us! Get a toehold with Two Scoops' Mike!

April 22, 2024

Sugar is bad for everyone, especially when it's mixed with face-off trickery and a certain intruder Steffy "unalived" recently. Why is it so hard for most of L.A. to gasp that things might not be as dead as they seem when it comes to the master escape artist, Sheila Carter? Plus, R.J. hulked out on Zende for his betrayal and Poppy for "drugging" her own daughter, but isn't Luna the slightest bit to blame for her carelessness? Plus, are seeds of growth budding for Lope? Let's scoop!

April 29, 2024

R.J. and Luna tried to navigate their post-Zende relationship while Mama Oops-I-Always-Sleep-With-The-Wrong-People Brooke offered support. But Y&R's Lauren Fenmore was finally fully clued in about Sheila's existence (or lack thereof) and helped Deacon follow his vision of Sugar plums from toes to fingers! It's so sweet with Two Scoops' Mike!

May 6, 2024

Steffy's marriage hangs on by a toe, and Finn's discovery that "this piggy isn't dead" might be the last straw for their brick house marriage. Steffy channeled her meddling grandmother by orchestrating who gets first chair in Liam's love life, Hope or Ivy, but will Steffy's next course be waffles once she learns Finn embraced Sheila? Some believe the Sugar plot was a Sheila setup. No, it's not the plot of a new Lifetime movie -- it's this week's The Bold and the Beautiful Two Scoops commentary!!

May 13, 2024

News of Sheila's exaggerated death made its way around B&B's Los Angeles, from a horrified Li, to a disbelieving Steffy, to a suddenly "Team Sheila" Finn. But with Hope the only person cutting Finn any slack, is Steffy about to be up one Sheila and out one husband? Crank it up with Two Scoops' Mike!

May 20, 2024

Last week, the design office became a biohazard, thanks to Luna and her pregnancy scare. You can't have a "who's the daddy" story without a pregnancy, so here's what our scooper thinks might be in store for Luna. Finn dumped the "antihero" for the "confronter in chief," but with Sheila and Finn's relationship back to square one, where is this never-ending saga headed? Plus, the truth about why Brooke is the last person who should call out Zende or Poppy! Let's scoop!

May 27, 2024

Forget Travis and Taylor! B&B's "it" couple is Deacon and Sheila, who refused to "toe" the line at the altar. But are their kids, Finn and Hope, respectively, getting closer to their own coupling? And did an awful lot of stars have to align for Sheacon's nups to come up? Revisit all of Sheila's weddings with Two Scoops' Mike!

June 3, 2024

The question of the week came from Steffy, who asked Finn, "How do you get yourself into these situations!" That's a good question for the entire L.A. crew. How does Poppy's revelation catch the fourth-time WTD contestant Bill Spencer by surprise? Why doesn't Hope anticipate HFTF being on the chopping block biannually? Plus, our writer doesn't think Katie was ready for "this jelly," but are her and Li's suspicions right or wrong about Poppy? Let's scoop!

June 10, 2024

The Daytime Emmys are happening, where B&B and its cast/crew are up for a slew of awards. But what would its on-screen antics take home if they got their own trophies? How would the appearances by Xander, Ivy, and Lauren; Luna's "special mint" sex; and Hope's relationship with Thomas fare? Don your sequins and tuxedos with Two Scoops' Mike!

June 17, 2024

Ridge made his fantasy a reality by sending Brooke back to the runway in her undies. Is she too old for Brooke's Bedroom or just now hitting her "Jackie M" stride? Hope is off the rails in Fantasy Land again. Can Brooke shake some sense into her about Finn before Steffy does? Plus, Katie better learn to knock because it's Poppy's home now! Let's scoop!

June 24, 2024

Like Forrester Creations' various fashion lines, story threads were woven and intertwined this week as Steffy was forced to team up with Brooke, and Tom mixed it up with both Sheila and Poppy. But Hope, who had another "harmless crush", this time on Finn, got a shock when her stepbrother lover came home! Sew it up with Two Scoops' Mike!

July 1, 2024

Last week, Douglas gained a new mom, and Luna gained a new mystery father. Things might be moving too fast with Paris and Thomas, but get a load of Bill moving at warp speed to make Luna "Starr" a Spencer! If Tom is Luna's father, was Poppy really even Bill's festival dancer, or is this one of those cons Li was talking about? Thomas found Paris in Paris, but will she wind up as a jilted bride again if Hope's headaches happen to be a pregnancy symptom? Let's scoop!

July 8, 2024

B&B's Los Angeles was suddenly inhabited by two Toms. One declared himself Luna's father and got a deadly sports drink instead of a Father's Day card. The other said "we'll always have Paris" but then proposed to a new Hope! Crank the speakers up with Two Scoops' Mike!

July 15, 2024

The employees are dropping like flies at Il Giardino, and it isn't because Deacon is working them to death. Steffy hurled accusations Sheila's way. Read on to see why it probably isn't L.A.'s resident poisoner, but could it be Bill's new daughter? Thomas played proposal chicken with Hope one last time, and she blinked! Get the two scoops on why wedding bells may never ring for Thomas and Paris. Plus, why is Hope suddenly in the market for a man? Let's scoop!
