Bold and the beautiful - alternative version.

For my uncle

Eric: Son, why didn't you tell us that you are coming to LA?

Thorne: I wanted to surprise you.

Brooke: That's a wonderful surprise! 

Thorne: Thank you Brooke. It's great to see you. You look as beautiful as ever.

Ridge: I agree with that.

Brooke: Thank you Thorne.

Eric: You will be staying with me and Quinn, right?

Thorne: If that's not a problem?

Eric: Don't be ridiculous. That's your home. 

Thorne: I know. I was just thinking that maybe you need privacy. 

Eric: It's a huge house. We will all have privacy. 

Thorne: So I guess I will stay with you. 

Eric: Perfect.

Thorne: I am so happy to see all of you. To be honest I am lonely in Paris. When I was there with Aly... It was amazing. Now that I am all alone in this world... Paris lost its charm for me. 

Brooke, Ridge and Eric look sad. 

Ridge puts his hand on Thorne's shoulder. 

Next scene: Brittany is looking at the computer crying.

Brittany: Steffy is my cousin. 

Finn: Wow...

Brittany: Oh my God... I totally look like my dad and my grandma. 

Finn: You actually do... That's crazy. 

Brittany: When I was at school one kid said I look like Stephanie Forrester when she was younger. 

Finn: Crazy... 

Brittany: If I only knew that she was my grandmother... Wait a second... My sister is dead? 

Finn: Yeah, that was quite big news. 

Brittany: I don't follow news about celebrities that much... My God, she was so young. I wonder if my father even knows about me?

Next scene: Thorne and Eric are talking alone at Eric's home.

Eric: Did you unpack everything?

Thorne: Yes Dad.

Eric: Good. 

Thorne: Quinn is not at home?

Eric: She is visiting her son and grandson in Malibu.

Thorne: Quinn a grandma... Can you believe it?

Eric: She's still so young and beautiful... But she's a real grandmother... A very invested one too.

Thorne starts looking sad.

Eric: Everything ok?

Thorne: I will never be a grandfather. It just hit me. Sorry. 

Eric: I don't know what to say son. 

Thorne: You don't have to say anything. What is there to say? I am still grieving the loss of my beloved daughter and I am way too old to start again. 

Eric: Don't say that. 

Thorne: Dad, it's true... Look, I had few short relationships in Paris. I picked younger women... You know why? I wanted to become a dad... But after dating three of them I've realized none of them could give me a child so I went to test myself... My semen is worthless now.
