As Eric (McCook), Ridge, Brooke, and Thorne (Winsor Harmon) proposed a Jabot and Forrester collaboration to Jack, Sally (the late Darlene Conley) and Darla (Schae Harrison) crashed the gala and saw Macy (Bobbie Eakes).

Unswayed by Nick's words, Brooke confronted Ashley and warned her that Ridge always returned to her, that they were destined to be together.
Both The Bold and the Beautiful and The Young and the Restless have been airing classic episodes since April 27, when the shows ran out of new, pre-COVID-19-filmed episodes. In order to keep things exciting for the viewers, B&B and Y&R announced that they would be presenting the throwback episodes via theme weeks filled with long-lost cherished characters, epic adventures, and classic moments. At this time, it's unclear when soap operas will resume production and bring new material to viewers, but they've been given the all-clear and could start filming again this week.
