A NOVEMBER to REMEMBER

Your must-have guide to soaps upcoming tales.

BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL

"We're going to have a little fun, a little romance, a little adventure, and bring the hankies because there'll be some very tender family moments, as well," teases Executive Producer/Head Writer Bradley Bell.

Eric's Health Crisis: "This is a love story between father and son, and Brooke will also be part of it. Eric is at the top of his game and at this later stage in his life, he's still a designer and he wants to be a designer and do his best work now because there is no tomorrow. But Ridge learns why his father wants to sit at his desk again and goes from annoyed and frustrated to really trying to make Eric's last days the best days of his life."

Steffy/Finn: "Steffy has been looking out for the safety of her family, but then she returns. Steffy's an L.A. girl, this is her hometown, and she confronts Sheila to stake her claim on who the queen bee is of Los Angeles. So that will be one worth watching."

Hope/Thomas: "Hope has spent her whole life trying to be the antithesis of her mother, good and decent and devoted, but she's kind of given up on being the angelic girl and decided to follow her desires, which led her to bad boy Thomas. So she's going through a chapter right now where she knows she's dancing with the devil. But can Thomas be rehabilitated? Is Thomas capable of that? Will he be a leading man or is he a perpetual villain? We will see that come to light in November and December."

R.J./Luna/Li/Poppy: "We have the Nozawa family in Los Angeles, and Luna and R.J. have developed a great mutual appreciation for one another. Everything looks like it's peachy, and Poppy and Luna seem like nice people, but there's a reason why Li is so cautious and adamant that they're not going to remain around very long. That mystery will be unraveled this fall."
