Carter Snaps, Steffy Faints, Katie Declares War: The Bold and the Beautiful Two Scoops for the Week of November 2

The Bold and the Beautiful's Steffy and Carter look as if they won't survive this pregnancy with their sanity intact — and we're starting to feel that neither will we. Steffy constantly looks like she's going to puke (and not from morning sickness), Carter spends his life in a cold sweat, and Daphne is just so grateful that her adoring husband and very best friend will do such an incredible thing for her. Spare us. Please.

At Least Carter Heard the Door Slam

Carter was deep in thought, ruminating on how he is going to live the rest of his life enveloped in a never-ending stream of lies that he didn't even hear the janitor cleaning up Katie's stained-glass window mess (more on that later). At least he turned when he heard the door slam. But he kept on turning. And spinning. And looking like he might suffer a stroke at any moment.

And that is what we are going to have to watch for the next 5-6 months. (We assume this will be a SORAS'd pregnancy.) Carter nearly hyperventilating as each pregnancy milestone takes place. Constant pacing, sweating, and panicked close-ups are what we are in store for unless something actually happens in this story, aside from people being confused about how IVF worked so fast.

Steffy's Down for the Count

Steffy has still forgotten how to speak. Despite everyone around her being confused and perplexed about why she would ever agree to be an egg donor and a surrogate without even consulting her husband, Steffy just keeps repeating the same mantra. Daphne is her best friend and she wanted to do this.

But who is really buying that? Finn is trying to, because the idea of Steffy ever doing anything wrong is foreign to him. (Boy, did this man miss a lot during her younger years.) Li knows something is up. Taylor can only furrow her brow. Ridge is in a fury. And Steffy? She seems to think repeating the same line over and over again will somehow make her decision believable.

Like Carter's hyperventilation episodes, Steffy's fainting episodes might become de rigeur for the remainder of this pregnancy and we are not sure we can take it. And then what happens when the baby is born? If B&B goes through with this story as planned, then we could have years of watching Steffy and Carter in a state of terror.

Considering the fan reaction to this story, we know there's a slight chance B&B may change course since it's one of the only soaps that sometimes listens to its audience, but if it doesn't, there needs to be a twist that makes this plot bearable to watch. At the moment, it's not working.

'The Slut From the Valley'

We are still totally Team Katie when it comes to the Logan vs. Forrester Creations war. Brooke, as always, seems to think there is nothing wrong with her actions or attitude. That is because Brooke never, ever thinks there is anything wrong with her actions or attitude. In Brooke's mind, she is a perfect human and everything she says and does is completely justified.

Brooke could not understand why Katie was so furious at her for contacting Bill behind her back. The idea that her sister might not like Brooke contacting her husband when Brooke already had two affairs with Katie's husband was lost on Brooke. Who cares if a man is someone's husband? She had a goal, and in Brooke's mind, all her goals are for the greater good.

We want to see Katie march into Eric's office and throw a champagne bottle through the window every week just for sport. Then maybe she can throw some things at her two awful sisters. What did Donna and Brooke expect when they told Katie she was no longer a sister to them? Brooke acts like it was nothing and doesn't see why Katie just can't get over it. However, the one thing about Brooke we can always appreciate is that she always stays true to herself. Every action she ever takes is quintessential Brooke.

At least Katie got to channel our beloved Stephanie and call Brooke a "slut from the valley."

Patience is about to pay off for Sheila | Image: CBS

Sheila said she'd have Deacon back one day and she meant it. She didn't even have to do much to achieve her goal except agree to one divorce, take a trip to Monaco for a day, and just bide her time. Good things come to those who wait and we're proud of Sheila for just twiddling her thumbs (and toes) and waiting for her midlife crisis, cheatin' husband to come to his senses. Almost there, Sheila, almost there...

Do you want to see Deacon and Sheila reunite? Who will be the first person to figure out Steffy's secret? Sound off in the comments.
