According to the latest Soap Opera Weekly, the Katie Logan Show will continue on B&B as the heart transplant heroine finds out next week she is carrying Nick's child.
So when did Katie and Nick do "the dirty deed"?
Apparently when they were on Catalina Island and Katie thought she was dying, Nick decided to give her a Bon Voyage gift shaped like a penis. It was never discussed, and even the actors were unaware until they picked up their scripts.
So now i'm wondering....since we all found out Heather Tom and Jack Wagner are writing their own scenes, why didn't they see this one coming???
I am "this close" to calling it quits with this show. The only thing that is keeping me as a viewer is to watch my girl Flannery sail off into retirement. I wish it were tomorrow so i could be through with this stench of a show. Even my beloved Katherine Kelly Lang has been reduced to a mere prop.
So the downfall of daytime continues!

This is terrible. The Katie/Nick pairing is one of the most boring, uninspired pairings in the history of Daytime, yet it will continue to get shoved down out throats. Katie is boring and whiny, Nick is scumbag, and Bridget will officially become the biggest loser in Daytime Television, having lost the same man to both her mother and her aunt. I could care less about Jack Wagner because I've never been that big of a fan of his, but Ashley Jones and especially Heather Tom are capable of so much more than this.
I wouldn't really have a problem with Heather Tom becoming the center of the show if it was done properly. Flannery is retiring soon, and KKL is beginning to talk about moving on as well, so the torch is going to need to be passed at some point and Heather Tom is more than capable, but what they're doing right now is just plain bad.

Gross. There was a TV Guide spoiler from Michael Logan about Katie contemplating suicide because she is distraught over a pregnancy... I was really hoping Bridget was the one pregnant. As far as the show has presented her, Katie is basically a virgin. But I suppose if Manbrina could get knocked up by Victor...
Here's the articles referred to in the original post.

A Closer Look at Katie
Katie's pregnant? So soon after a heart transplant? How did that happen? Heather Tom explains.
Soap Opera Weekly: Did you know when you were filming the Catalina scenes with Jack Wagner [Nick] that this was where it was going?
Heather Tom: No. I had no clue whatsoever. It was a very big surprise for all of us.
SOW: Especially because nobody had sex.
HT: Exactly! It's very funny, because people always ask me, "Do they tell you what's going to happen?" I always say no and no one ever believes me. So now it's like, "Believe me!". They did not tell me about this until the last possible moment.
SOW: Is it even possible to get a heart transplant, have sex and then turn up pregnant?
HT: Apparently it's not very likely, but it's not impossible.
SOW: How did you play the scenes with the doctor delivering the news? ‘Like, what the hell?!’ "
HT: yeah, pretty much Katie is floored. It presents some interest problems.
SOW: Like whether to tell Bridget.
HT: Katie doesn't tell her. She tells Nick.
SOW: And he's just as dumbfounded as she is.
HT: Yes "How could this happen?"
SOW: Tragic shortage of condoms on Catalina Island is my hunch.
HT: I know! That contraception we made out of seashells just didn't work (laughs).
SOW: In the meantime, Nick is also having sex with Bridget.
HT: Yes, they are in the midst of living 'happily ever after.’ " At this point, [Katie and Nick] are still trying to figure out what to do. They don't even know if it's going to last past the first trimester. So what they're dealing with now is, "Are we going to Bridget? Or should we wait and see what happens?"
SOW: Is there a conversation about terminating the pregnancy?
HT: Not at that point. But there is a conversation that it is extremely high-risk and that there are possibilities of deformities of the fetus. And that it could kill her.
SOW: Are you playing that this was her virginity?
HT: Oh, God, I hope not! I might find out down the road that it was, but as of right now I'm hoping not.
SOW: It wouldn't surprise me. Katie seems very sheltered and she's very moony over her niece's new husband.
HT: Yeah. Katie now has a lot of options open to her, which is exciting and also scary. She's saying "Okay, I've been given my life back. Now what?" I don't think that's terribly uncommon with somebody that's gone through a traumatic situation and spent so much time trying to survive. When you've been in this heightened situation for so long, it's like the adrenaline drops. There's a certain amount of uncertainly, even depression. In Katie's mind, having Nick marry Bridget was taking away that option for her. "I can be happy for this person that I really love, who's basically saved my life twice. And I can also be happy for this man that I love. And now I can start over." Those scenes were closure for her. Obviously, that's going to change real quick!
SOW: How does she conjure her dead brother Storm this week?
HT: Finding out she's pregnant. That level of guilt. "Oh, my God, what have I done? I have violated every code of honor between friends, between family, for myself." She's really freaked out, and in the middle of that Storm appears.
SOW: To give her advice?
HT: You could say that. It's almost like she's having a panic attack. He appears to her in the middle of her panic -- and it isn't a comforting thing.
SOW: What's your prediction?
HT: I would love to give you one, but I have no idea. I don't think they know at this point if the baby lives for dies. I'm sure, because it's daytime, that Bridget will find out.
SOW: Which will probably strain the relationship between Bridget and Katie.
HT: To say the least!

Katie to Nick: "I'm Pregnant!"
Able-bodied sailor Nick gets knocked off his sea legs this week when Katie tells him she's going to have a baby.
"They are on The Shady Marlin II and Nick is trying to convince Katie not to feel guilty about making love in that one magical moment between them on Catalina Island," sets up Jack Wagner [Nick]. "That's when she say, 'I'm pregnant.'"
Wait -- what magical moment on Catalina Island? " It was hidden from us," explains Wagner.
"[Heather Tom and I] actually didn't know, and we had to re-shoot some loves scenes on the island. So it's like the cart came before the horse in this storyline."
Nick reels from the news that the illicit romp has born Marone fruit. "His chin hits the floor of the boat and slowly cracks his face," chuckles Wagner. "His eyes become bloodshot and he says, I'm sorry. I don't think I heard you right.' "
Katie assures him that he definitely heard her correctly.
"He secretly needs to find a magical pill that will help him," quips Wagner. "Because once again his lower brain got him in trouble."
Indeed, Nick is currently trying to have a baby with his new wife, Bridget, so finding out that he has knocked up her aunt won't exactly make for stress-free family dinners. Maybe Nick should lay off the Logan women? "I think in a past life Nick and Beth were married, so there will be no Logan woman untouched," cracks Wagner.
But expect Bridget to be more than just "touched" when she finds out that her husband and her aunt are expecting a bundle of joy.
"Nick's probably going to do what any good man would do: run, lie, try and run more, then lie again,” winks Wagner.
Just hide the baby monitors.
