BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL Feature

Angela (Judith Borne) needs to atone for some ugly mistakes.
— CBS

You And Mea Culpa



Angela and The Forresters: Years ago, a nameless runaway impersonated Eric and Stephanie's handicapped daughter, Angela. She then committed blackmail, theft, fraud and murder. Angela capped off her crime spree by skipping town with Thorne's bucks for plastic surgery to restore her face, which had been disfigured in a fire. Well, Angela has some major sucking up to do. For starters, she needs to repay the money, apologize for her actions, give Eric and Stephanie a gift certificate to Red Lobster and then explain why she made herself over to look like Felicia after the real one passed away from cancer.

Confession would be good for Beth's (Nancy Burnett) soul.
— Elizabeth Annas/CBS



Beth and Stephanie: Brooke's mom and Stephanie fought bitterly over Eric, with Beth eventually losing out and settling for her wienie of a husband, Stephen. But as a kinder, gentler Stephanie emerges after dealing with her painful childhood, she should offer an olive branch to her former rival. We don't know if Beth would accept it or tell Stephanie to stick it up next year's hemline forecast, but an overture still needs to be made. For closure, perhaps Beth could then unload that her son, Storm, was fathered by Eric.

Anthony (Michael Sabatino, r., with Bobbie Eakes, Macy) should make a killer apology to Thorne (then-Jeff Trachta).
— Eddie Garcia/CBS

Thorne and Anthony: The Spectra designer murdered Ivana, then framed Thorne for the crime just so Anthony could have Macy all to himself. After being revealed as the real killer, Anthony was carted off to prison without the slightest apology to Thorne for getting him arrested in the middle of his wedding to Macy; then he was charged with first degree murder. Since Anthony's had a long time to think about his egregious behavior, we suggest he have Thorne stop by on visitors' day at San Quentin for a heart-to-heart. Let's just hope Thorne doesn't run into Donna, who, as a freelance journalist, met Anthony a few years back while interviewing him for her Why Some Designers Kill feature. She fell for the homicidal charmer, married him and has been secretly working ever since to overturn his conviction.

Rick (then-Justin Torkildsen, l.) and C.J. (Mick Cain) haven't seen eye-to-eye in a long time.
— Aaron Montgomery/JPI

Rick and C.J.: These boys were once best pals, but their rivalry over Amber destroyed the close relationship. After both got burned by Ms. Moore, Rick moved to Milan to work in Forrester's European offices, while C.J. opened a new coffeehouse in San Francisco. Since Nick now owns Forrester, Rick is out of a job and is returning to L.A. Once home, he's bound to reflect on happier times, which include his former friendship (especially since the Amber factor has been removed). Wouldn't it be really cool if Rick flew up to San Francisco and made a surprise visit to C.J.'s Castro district hangout? Uh, yeah, that's right. Let's hope Rick is also ready to discover that his buddy has since come out of the closet and has a new partner — and we don't mean a business associate.

Ridge (Ronn Moss, r.) has gotten his designer undies in a bunch ever since Nick (Jack Wagner) came to town.
— Brian Lowe/JPI

Ridge and Nick: These half siblings give brothers-in-arms a whole new meaning. Okay, so Ridge stole Brooke from Nick, who then stole Forrester Creations from Ridge's family ... Can't we all just get along? These men need time to really connect without their warring mothers around. We think the perfect bonding experience would be in Italy, where they can stomp grapes and get in touch with Papa Marone's roots. Maybe then Massimo can meet up with his sons for a family reunion — where they can meet their 16-year-old sister Diana (you know, Sheila's kid), who Massimo found years ago and has secretly been raising. Dad is ill and whoever takes Diana back to their home gets his billions.
