What Happened Previously on B&B
Since Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, who had her 5th son) returned to Los Angeles, she and Hope (Annika Noelle) have been on reasonable terms. Steffy even congratulated Hope on her engagement to Liam (Scott Clifton)
Even at work, Steffy and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) actually approved Hope for the Future’s new line. Overall, this is quite a new phase for these two.
While Hope is happy and looking forward to remarrying Liam, all is not quite well with her dad. Deacon (Sean Kanan) learned that Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) kept the secret of Luna (Lisa Yamada) being alive from him, and he started questioning everything.
Deacon turned to Taylor (Rebecca Budig) for therapy. They two crossed the line, but Taylor insisted they had to remain professional if the therapy was going to continue. However, it doesn’t seem as though they’ve been quite successful in maintaining an appropriate relationship.
Meanwhile, since Luna raped Will (Crew Morrow) and became pregnant with his child, Bill (Don Diamont) and Katie (Heather Tom) have spent time together trying to best help him. Will and Electra (Laneya Grace) seem to have moved forward in their relationship, and Katie and Bill have supported them every step of the way. Now, though, Bill convinced Katie to move back in with him.
Dancing with the Stars Judge Carrie Ann Inaba Facing Backlash Over Scoring

Season 34 of Dancing with the Stars has just three weeks of competition left. And once again, questions about the judges’ scoring have popped up. In particular, judge
During Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Night, actress Danielle Fishel and her partner, Pasha Pashkov, were eliminated. The duo’s heartfelt contemporary routine to Aerosmith’s Dream On didn’t wow the judges. After the scores from the team dance, Danielle and Pasha landed in seventh place on the leaderboard. So, did Carrie Ann underscore Danielle’s routine?
Carrie Ann Inaba’s judging has been labeled “unfair” by some DWTS fans
A source told Page Six, “The judging was very skewed,” noting that Carrie Ann is allegedly more critical of female contestants. The insider added that the judging panel “would be extremely critical of Danielle, yet they would praise [fellow Season 34 contestant] Andy Richter. If they’re actually judging, Andy would be held to the same standard.” Previously, Carrie Ann suggested that Danielle “use the [entire dance] space because you are a tiny little woman.” The following week, the judge apologized to Danielle.
In addition, Danielle danced a nostalgic Dedication Night routine for her Boy Meets World co-star, William Daniels. He played Mr. Feeny in the series. And Carrie Ann was tough. “I love a throwback, but I have to say this. Some of your dances are starting to feel like I’m watching the same dance over and over again,” Carrie Ann said as the audience booed. “This is also on you, Pasha.”
This isn’t the first time that Carrie Ann has been called out for being tougher on female contestants in the DWTS ballroom. During Season 33, there was backlash after fans felt that Bachelorette star Jenn Tran was underscored, as well as Chandler Kinney and Ilona Maher. This scoring debate will likely continue, as scoring is somewhat subjective.
