HOLLYWOOD—Last week “B&B” had one of the most exciting storyline arcs in television history. Leave it to Bradley P. Bell, the show’s phenomenally talented head writer and executive producer to come up with a hot, exciting and hip storyline surrounding the high school graduation of Brooke’s daughter Hope Logan. With Hope’s stepsister Steffy (played by Jacqueline MacInnes-Woods) lusting after Oliver (her sister’s boyfriend), Marcus (played by Texas Battle) is trying to keep Steffy away so she does not ruin the party, and Brooke and Ridge were suppose to be chaperoning the kids, but things still managed to go awry. The Forrester mansion has been turned into a new age urban dance parlor, which immediately led viewers to believe the episodes would be very exciting. That is an understatement. Puerto Rican musical icon Daddy Yankee proved he still can groove, and guess what else? He can act as well! The handsome Reggaeton rapper had the cast and the audience hypnotized with his amazing sounds.
Tony Okungbowa, who is the DJ on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” played Oliver’s friend Dempsey, who manages the U.S. base of Daddy Yankee’s career brought the musical sensation to L.A. for a big party night. Oliver, played by Zack Conroy, asked Dempsey to use the Forrester mansion in Beverly Hills for his new music video. Hope’s friends were ecstatic to hear they would become part of the video. Molly McCook, the talented daughter of “B&B” star John McCook portrayed one of Hope’s high school friends and “The Price is Right” model, Latina stunner Manuela Arbelaez, also appeared on the soap as a friend of Hope. Hope, played by Kimberly Mutula, looked gorgeous alongside her two school friends and fellow actresses. By the end of the week Hope’s life had changed forever, even if she doesn’t yet realize it. The unthinkable actually did happen between two people she loves.
Daddy Yankee caught the eyes of many of the young ladies playing schoolgirls. His amazing rhythm is one of a kind and he’s very easy on the eyes. When I heard he would star on the show, I wanted to hear his music, now I consider myself his biggest fan, both of his music and acting abilities. Ellen’s DJ Tony Okungbowa as Dempsey had some great scenes earlier in the week when he met Hope’s parents, Brooke and Ridge (played by Katherine Kelly Lang and Ronn Moss). Moss was particularly charming in the scenes and many fans commented online about the great chemistry between the three stars. On Thursday Ridge and Brooke had forgotten their chaperone duties and promises to Ridge’s parents to watch over the kids. They ended up in the steam room listening to Daddy Yankee’s tunes. Brooke, who is known as the sexiest woman in the world, had a hard time putting on her chaperone gown and ended up wearing one of the gowns Hope had for her teenaged schoolmates.
If the parents were entranced by Yankee’s reggae style, imagine that forceful music and Bradley Bell’s brilliant writing’s effect on the partygoers. Dressed in gorgeous gowns and ultra modern masquerade masks, the partygoers were soon behaving in a very erotic and provocative manner. Brooke had previously threatened her stepdaughter Steffy not to ruin Hope’s party and her special night of graduation. However, Steffy was just as determined as her mentor, Grandmother Queen Stephanie. Steffy by Friday had turned the party and Hope’s life upside down. No one was able to deter the young vixen from her plans to seduce Oliver. Daddy Yankee didn’t help things with his mesmerizing and charismatic musical beat. And did I say already, how handsome he was?
Monday through Thursday’s episodes of “B&B” culminated into a shocking revelation to viewers and one major character on Friday’s episode. Bradley Bell is the only writer who could have come up with such a twist with such an exciting story. On Monday’s upcoming episode, a startling realization puts a damper on one guest at Hope’s graduation party. One guess, who will it be? For Hope, Oliver, Steffy, Marcus, Ridge and Brooke, nothing will be the same. What will be Steffy’s next move? What about Oliver’s? When the unthinkable and unspeakable act occurred, one character remained in absolute shock and horror, but so did the viewers. Let’s just say, Queen Stephanie may never allow another party at her mansion ever again.
Along with the brilliant writing, acting and sensational music, the set of the Forrester mansion was transformed by four masters. Production and set designers Jack Forrestel, Fabrice Kenwood, Elsa Zamparelli and Charlotte Garnell Scheide did an absolutely amazing job creating such a hip, exciting and glamorous set for Daddy Yankee’s L.A. debut at Hope’s party. “B&B” proved why they are the most watched show on the planet. I was transfixed by the entire effect. I’m almost certain that Brooke did not do what it seemed like she did? Watch on Monday! What you think is going to happen is not necessarily what occurs. One question still lingers on my mind? How did I miss my invite to Hope’s graduation party? You won’t want to miss this invitation to the conclusion on Monday.
