In Soaps.com’s newest spoilers for The Bold and the Beautiful from Monday, August 1, through Monday, August 5, the murderous madwoman seeks safe harbor while Finn makes tracks to reunite with Steffy overseas.

Bold & Beautiful spoilers for week of August 1:
Bold & Beautiful spoilers for Monday, August 1:
In Monday’s recap, Steffy and Finn are reunited at long last, and Deacon’s horrified when Sheila barges into his broom closet!
Oh snap! Sheila muscles her way into Deacon’s place with a crazy story and a desperate request. After his recent conversations with both Hope and Taylor, we know the reformed con will want no part of his deranged former friend crashing in his broom closet. Will Deacon turn in the madwoman… or turn the tables and deal with her in another, more sinister way?
Spoiler inside! Deacon jaw-dropper ahead as he plays roulette with his future: “His head is spinning.”
Finn, Ridge and Taylor search for Steffy in the beautiful principality of Monte Carlo. There can’t be that many grief-treatment centers in the area that allow children and nannies on site, so we’re hoping for a joyous reunion sooner rather than later! Of course, what comes next is likely to tick off more than a few viewers…
Is there a fake-out afoot? Jacqueline MacInnes Wood and Tanner Novlan share secrets of the real Steffy/Finn reunion.

Bold & Beautiful spoilers for Tuesday, August 2:
In Tuesday’s recap, Finn reunites with his family, Brooke gets an update from Ridge, and Deacon covers for Sheila.
It’s crunch time in the janitor’s den as Deacon is forced to make a split decision that may very well change his life. Will he become the hero his daughter has always wanted her dad to be or prove Ridge correct in saying he’ll never change by helping public enemy No. 1, aka Sheila?!?
Speaking of the madwoman, um, what’s going to happen after the boom is lowered on her? See, this is why we’re so concerned about a problem the show shares with Young & Restless. Read all about it here.
Break out the tissues! There won’t be a dry eye in the house as the fates and stars align allowing Steffy and Finn to find their way back into each other’s arms.
It’s been one hell of a bumpy, fiery ride… Naomi Matsuda contemplates her future as Li.
Congrats are on order for married Bold & Beautiful alumni Joe LoCicero (ex-Vinny) and his wife Gina Rodriguez (ex-Beverly) who are expecting their first child together.
Bold & Beautiful spoilers for Wedneday, August 3:
In Wednesday’s recap, Ridge kisses Taylor, Steffy makes a vow to Finn, and Hope’s photo of Brooke and Deacon goes viral.
In the romantic locale of Monte Carlo, Steffy and Finn celebrate their miracle and share a joyous family reunion. Time for us to add a new chapter to our photo-filled retelling of their love story.
In a happy moment, Hope takes, then posts a photo of her parents that quickly goes viral. If your first thought wasn’t, “Oh no, Ridge’s head is going to explode!” then you don’t know the dressmaker. This could definitely inspire a knee-jerk reaction overseas, especially considering Brooke’s husband just happens to be with Taylor!
Bold & Beautiful spoilers for Thursday, August 4:
In Thursday’s recap, Taylor puts Ridge on the spot about their kiss, and Brooke reads Hope the riot act over her post!
For the above-mentioned reasons, Brooke becomes alarmed about Hope’s picture on social media. Given that Deacon and his charms have been banned by Ridge, will La Logan posing with her ex while her husband is away finally put the kibosh on “destiny”?
Uh-oh. Things just got more complicated, folks: Caught up in a euphoric moment, Taylor and Ridge share a kiss. Why, why, why will she never read our article that lays out all of the times that he’s repeatedly proven that he’s just not that into her?
Bold & Beautiful spoilers for Friday, August 5:
Breaking! Big news for Outlander fans, plus, season 7 spoilers!
This oughta be good! After Brooke rejects his presence, Deacon explains his theory about her, Ridge and Taylor to Hope. Our only question is, should we make popcorn or get a tablet to take notes?
Despite her joy at being reunited with the love of her life, Steffy shifts her attention away from Finn just long enough to call out Taylor and Ridge about their new vibe since being in Monte Carlo. Will her dreams of getting her parents back together finally come to fruition?!?
Return to the Golden Age of daytime TV with the below photo gallery, a collection of rare images and precious memories from the much-missed Love In the Afternoon era of soaps.

<p>Did any couple define Love in the Afternoon better than the one that made <em>General Hospital</em> a phenomenon? Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary) and Laura Baldwin (Genie Francis) — as if you didn’t know!</p>
<p>In 1983, <em>All My Children</em> covergirl Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) took her pocketful of poses to New York City’s Metropolitan Museum to see if she could upstage the exhibits. She did, by the way.</p>
<p>Back in 1987, when soaps could still afford to go on location, <em>One Life to Live</em> went all the way to Argentina with Cord Roberts (John Loprieno) and Kate Sanders (future <em>Melrose Place</em> psycho and Desperate Housewife Marcia Cross).</p>
<p>The clique that <em>everyone</em> wanted to be a part of in 1982 was the small, tight-knit <em>All My Children</em> one that included Greg Nelson (Laurence Lau), Jenny Gardner (Kim Delaney, now recurring on <em>General Hospital</em> as Jackie) and Jesse Hubbard (Darnell Williams).</p>
<p>Maybe if they’d just stopped dropping clues… Hmm. As it was, intrigue seemed to follow around <em>The Edge of Night</em>’s Schuyler Whitney (Larkin Malloy) and Raven Alexander (Sharon Gabet) like it was their shadows.</p>
<p><em>All My Children</em> let “Tad the Cad” Martin (Michael E. Knight, now <em>General Hospital</em> lawyer Martin) sleep his way up one side of Pine Valley and down the other till he found true love with Dixie Cooney (Cady McClain). Side note: We were <em>there</em> for the shenanigans!</p>
<p><em>Ryan’s Hope</em> let the Coleridges remember that they were rich in 1983 for a new opening-credits sequence featuring a dolled-up Jillian (Nancy Addison Altman), Roger (Ron Hale) and Faith (Karen Morris-Gowdy).</p>
<p>It wasn’t just Luke and Robert Scorpio who fell for Holly Sutton when Emma Samms joined <em>General Hospital</em> in 1982. Viewers adored her so much, they accepted her as a kinda replacement for Laura.</p>
<p>No, but in the early ’80s, as <em>Dallas</em> caught fire, <em>One Life to Live</em> made sure that cowboy hats abounded. Luckily, the powers that be figured that Glamazon Dorian Lord (Robin Strasser) wouldn’t share the same taste in headgear as Asa Buchanan (Phil Carey) and son Bo (Robert S. Woods).</p>
<p>Style for miles was on display at the 1982 shindig that <em>All My Children</em>’s Montgomery Burns, Palmer Cortlandt (James Mitchell), threw for daughter Nina (Taylor Miller) and husband Cliff Warner (<em>Young & Restless</em>’ Jack, Peter Bergman). As for Phoebe Wallingford (Ruth Warrick)… well, she was Lady Whistledowning the whole affair!</p>
<p>So kickass was the chemistry between <em>Loving</em>’s Mike Donovan (James Kiberd) and Shana Sloane (Susan Keith) in 1984 that their portrayers would go on to marry two years later. And <em>stay</em> married!</p>
<p><em>General Hospital</em> struck gold with the pairing of Jack Wagner and Kristina Malandro as Frisco Jones and Felicia Cummings. The on-screen sweethearts married in 1993 (and divorced in 2006).</p>
<p>All it took was a glance, and you knew that anywhere that <em>One Life to Live’</em>s Tina Clayton (Andrea Evans) went, trouble was going to show up like an uninvited guest at a pot-luck. Without a casserole, even!</p>
<p><em>Ryan’s Hope</em> enthralled viewers in 1981 with the love triangle centered around bigwig Rae Woodard (Louise Shaffer), boy toy Michael Pavel (Michael Corbett) and the boss’ daughter, Kimberly Harris (Kelli Maroney). So of <em>course</em>, the show killed him off and sent Kim packing. That makes… sense?</p>
<p><em>The Edge of Night</em> shrewdly acknowledged the value and appeal of seniors in 1984 by keeping front and center Lois Kibbee’s Geraldine Saxon, who was kinda like the Katherine Chancellor of Monticello.</p>
<p><em>General Hospital</em> let shippers of Laura (Genie Francis) and Scotty Baldwin (Kin Shriner) think that they were endgame. Actually, not just think it, <em>believe</em> it — deeply. The thing was — spoiler alert! — they weren’t.</p>
<p>When <em>Loving</em> debuted, nothing stood between Jack Forbes (Perry Stephens) and Stacey Donovan (Lauren-Marie Taylor). Except, that is, for Lily Slater (Jennifer Ashe) and her multiple personalities.</p>
<p>Oh dear. <em>General Hospital</em> scene stealer Tiffany Hill (Sharon Wyatt) might have thought that Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) was, you know, The One. But for him, she was just, er, one of many.</p>
<p>In the grand scheme of things, John Stamos was only on <em>General Hospital</em> for a brief time as trouble magnet Blackie Parrish. Yet we still remember him and his amazing hair. Vividly.</p>
<p>Never mind that <em>General Hospital</em> revealed that Jimmy Lee Holt (Steve Bond) and Celia Quartermaine (Sherilyn Wolter) were kinda-sorta family. He was the man that she really wanted, not Dr. Grant Putnam (Brian Patrick Clarke)… who turned out to be a Russian spy, anyway!</p>
<p><em>All My Children</em> beauty peddler Opal Gardner (Dorothy Lyman) turned no one away from her salon, the Glamorama. That is, unless they were broke or she hated ’em. Hey, rules are rules.</p>
<p>Not sure what so entranced <em>One Life to Live</em>’s Viki Riley (Erika Slezak) and Clint Buchanan (Clint Ritchie) in this 1981 photo. But you can rest assured that they soon returned their gaze to one another.</p>
<p>From <em>The Edge of Night</em> to the break of day, the Karrs — Nancy (Ann Flood) and Mike (Forrest Compton) — watched over Monticello. Sometimes, as in this shot, <em>literally</em> over.</p>
<p>Once <em>General Hospital</em> paired Felicia Cummings (Kristina <span style="text-decoration: line-through">Malandro</span> Wagner) and Frisco Jones (Jack Wagner), the audience started eyeballing their TVs as intently as they did each other.</p>
<p>In the early days of <em>Loving</em>, Curtis Alden (Christopher Marcantel) and Lorna Forbes (Susan Walters, now Diane on <em>The Young and the Restless</em>) looked like they’d been up to no good even when they hadn’t been.</p>
<p>M.D. meant “mad dashing” once <em>General Hospital</em> started Noah Drake (Rick Springfield) making the rounds. Occasionally, he even took out an appendix as well as every single lady in Port Charles.</p>
<p>Don’t mind if we do. In fact, it’s impossible to think of <em>General Hospital</em> at all without conjuring up images of the heroine that Genie Francis has played since 1977.</p>
<p>In the early 1980s, <em>All My Children</em> struck a match that <em>really</em> caught fire between straight-laced Angie Baxter (Debbi Morgan) and streetwise Jesse Hubbard (Darnell Williams).</p>
<p>Fans of <em>General Hospital</em> mobster Sonny Corinthos owe a debt of gratitude to his forerunner, Roscoe Born’s Joe Novak, the conflicted don of <em>Ryan’s Hope. </em>He wrote the book on brooding mafiosos.</p>
<p>Ordinarily, <em>The Edge of Night</em> had Preacher Emerson (Charles <span style="text-decoration: line-through">Flohe</span> Grant) looking more like he was embracing than manhandling Jody Travis (Lori Loughlin, decades away from <em>When Calls the Heart</em> and the college bribery scheme for which she’s now infamous).</p>
<p><em>General Hospital</em> was such an outta-the-park hit in the ’80s that at one point, a rival soap offered Jacklyn Zeman (Bobbie) a quarter of a million dollars just to not re-sign her contract. (<a href="https://soaps.sheknows.com/general-hospital/news/639201/general-hospital-jacklyn-zeman-kin-shriner-death-threats-bribes-golden-age-soaps/" target="_blank">Read all about it here.</a>)</p>
<p>Only a true fashionista like incorrigible <em>Loving</em> vixen Ava Rescott (Roya Megnot) could pull off the kind of outre headgear that she put on in 1986.</p>
<p>We <em>want</em> to say that this 1980 still from <em>One Life to Live</em> embodies the delight that Dorian Lord (Robin Strasser) felt at never having had to admit in court that she was a hooker like Karen Wolek (showbiz legend in the making Judith Light). But that probably isn’t right.</p>
<p>Everybody was really moved by the 1980 <em>Ryan’s Hope</em> storyline in which lonely Delia Coleridge (Randall Edwards) was kidnapped by the gorilla that she’d befriended. And by “everybody,” we mean “everybody who’s typing this caption.” (<a href="https://soaps.sheknows.com/soaps/news/593910/ryans-hope-delia-gorilla-drop-tower-soap-opera-storyline/" target="_blank">Read our defense of the plot here.</a>)</p>
<p>It wasn’t his bedside manner that made philandering <em>General Hospital</em> doctor Alan Quartermaine (Stuart Damon) such a hot commodity, it was his antics <em>in</em> bed.</p>
<p><em>All My Children</em> let Kent Bogard (Lee Godart) think that he might actually have a future with Erica Kane (Susan Lucci). Until, that is, she shot him for sleeping with her half sister who turned out to be an imposter!</p>
<p>In 1980, the Quartermaines of <em>General Hospital</em> — Lila (Anna Lee) and Edward (David Lewis) — welcomed into their midst grandson A.J. (Eric Kroh). Little did they suspect what a scheming screw-up he’d turn out to be!</p>
<p>Alone time could be hard to come by for the Whitneys of <em>The Edge of Night</em>. Such a devoted manservant was Gunther Wagner (David Froman) that he hated to be away from Sky (Larkin Malloy) and Raven (Sharon Gabet).</p>
<p>Technically, the Love in the Afternoon era was over by the time <em>All My Children</em> paired Nico Kelly (Maurice Benard, on his way to <em>General Hospital</em> as Sonny) and Julie Chandler (Lauren Holly) in 1988. But c’mon — they would’ve totally fit in, right?</p>
<p>We may never have seen a more 1980s-riffic photo than this one of <em>General Hospital</em> wonder women Tiffany Hill (Sharon Wyatt), Celia Quartermaine (Sherilyn Wolter), Heather Webber (Robin Mattson), Holly Sutton (Emma Samms), Bobbie Spencer (Jacklyn Zeman) and Claudia Phillips (Bianca Ferguson).</p>
<p>In 1982, <em>Ryan’s Hope</em> reunited Rae Woodard (Louise Shaffer) with long-lost babydaddy Hollis Kirkland (Peter Haskell) — <em>and</em> introduced him to troublemaking Kimberly Harris (Kelli Maroney), the daughter he’d never known that they had!</p>
<p>Where was Tinder when she needed it? <em>General Hospital</em> doc Monica Quartermaine (Leslie Charleson) was always looking for love in all the wrong places.</p>
<p>“Forever” turned out to be not nearly as long as we wanted for <em>All My Children</em> sweethearts Greg Nelson (Laurence Lau) and ill-fated Jenny Gardner (Kim Delaney).</p>
<p><em>General Hospital</em> only had Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) tie the knot with Holly Sutton (Emma Samms) to keep “late” buddy Luke Spencer’s pregnant girlfriend from being deported. You can <em>guess</em> how that turned out!</p>
<p>Arguably the most star-crossed lovers in <em>Ryan’s Hope</em> history, Frank Ryan (Daniel Hugh-Kelly) and Jillian Coleridge (Nancy Addison Altman) could only hope in 1979 that they’d one day be as happily hitched as the his parents, Johnny (Bernard Barrow) and Maeve (Helen Gallagher).</p>
<p><em>General Hospital</em> nurse Bobbie Spencer (Jacklyn Zeman) could cry, “I’ve done everything for you!” as much as she liked. But she could never convince Noah Drake (Rick Springfield) to be her permanent Dr. Feel-Good.</p>
<p>As dearly as <em>All My Children</em>’s Brooke English (Julia Barr) loved Adam Chandler (David Canary), Lord, did that man try her patience. He had a lot of enemies, but he was always his worst one!</p>
<p>As you can see in these real-vs.-reel-life snaps from 1979, Jane Elliot wasn’t nearly as tightly wound off screen as she was when playing tart-tongued Tracy Quartermaine on <em>General Hospital.</em></p>
<p>The smart answer would have been no. But <em>Ryan’s Hope</em> conniver Delia Ryan (Ilene Kristen) had Roger Coleridge (Ron Hale) so enthralled that he probably bought whatever line of bull she was selling in 1977.</p>
<p>… was something that the relationship between <em>All My Children</em>’s Cliff Warner (Peter Bergman) and Nina Cortlandt (Taylor Miller) never was. <em>Except</em> in these particular photos.</p>
<p>After <em>One Life to Live</em> killed off Joe Riley (Lee Patterson), widow Viki (Erika Slezak) would’ve loved for him to have had a spare. And in a way, he did: Years after his death, his portrayer returned as his twin brother, Tom Dennison.</p>
<p>By 1986, <em>General Hospital</em> had been turned completely upside-down by the arrival of Robert Scorpio’s “late” wife, Anna Devane (Finola Hughes). And the actress who played her? As you can see, utterly unfussed.</p>
<p><em>Ryan’s Hope</em> married off probably its last supercouple in 1985 when it thrust Rick Hyde (future <em>Melrose Place</em> and <em>Dynasty</em> star Grant Show) and Ryan Fenelli (<em>Baywatch</em> babe-to-be Yasmine Bleeth) into an “altared state.”</p>
<p>Why? Because although<em> All My Children</em> cad Tad Martin (Michael E. Knight) developed real feelings for bad girl Liza Colby (Marcy Walker), they weren’t real enough to keep him from shagging her mother!</p>
<p><em>General Hospital</em> doc Jeff Webber (future <em>MacGyver</em> Richard Dean Anderson) was sure that Anne Logan (Susan Pratt) would be good for what ailed him. But the competition for the virtuous nurse was stiff — and included his pal Joe Kelly (Douglas Sheehan, en route to <em>Knots Landing</em>).</p>
<p>In 1984, <em>Ryan’s Hope</em> tried to attract some of that huge <em>General Hospital</em> audience by recasting Delia Coleridge with Robin Mattson, who was (and again would be) Port Charles’ notorious Heather Webber.</p>
<p>No, actually, this is <em>All My Children</em> circa 1981, an especially gothic period during which <span style="text-decoration: line-through">Mrs. Danvers</span> Myra Murdock (Elizabeth Lawrence) had to play referee for daughter Daisy (Gillian Spencer) and her volatile ex, Palmer Cortlandt (James Mitchell), a hothead who was prone to releasing the hounds.</p>
<p>“All I Need” was the Jack Wagner hit that <em>General Hospital</em> used for Frisco Jones and Tania Roskov’s love theme. It would’ve worked fine, too, as the ballad that smitten fans most wanted to sing to the actor.</p>
<p><em>Loving</em> viewers didn’t exactly fall for the soap’s inaugural coupling of Doug Donovan (Bryan Cranston) and Merrill Vochek (Patricia Kalember). But their portrayers went on to bright careers: She starred on NBC’s <em>Sisters</em>, and he went on to become a household name thanks to <em>Breaking Bad.</em></p>
<p><em>General Hospital</em> jacked up the tension in 1982 by sitting at the same table at Kelly’s Diner Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary), his former squeeze Jackie Templeton (budding movie star Demi Moore), his current squeeze Holly Sutton (Emma Samms) and her future squeeze Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers)… who at the time was involved with Jackie!</p>
<p>… wasn’t enough to keep <em>Ryan’s Hope</em> supercouple Mary Ryan (<em>Star Trek: Voyager</em> captain Kate Mulgrew) together with sparring partner Jack Fenelli (Michael Levin). When her portrayer took her leave to see if the grass was really greener in Hollywood — it was — the show tried in vain to recast her. <em>A lot.</em></p>
<p>Either way, no one could say that <em>All My Children</em>’s Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) — aka the face of Sensuelle Cosmetics — didn’t work hard for the money.</p>
<p>Just a totally casual and not at all fraught photo of<em> Loving</em>’s Ava Rescott (Lisa Peluso), object of her desire Clay Alden (James Horan) and his occasional wife, Gwyneth (Christine Tudor). OK, maybe a <em>smidgen</em> fraught. But mostly glamtastic.</p>
