As Patrick Duffy returns to The Bold and the Beautiful as Stephen Logan, he's in for an interesting set of family dynamics. To say the least.

"The Logan clan is being horribly abused by Stephanie Forrester [Susan Flannery] and Donna wants her father to stir the pot," Brad Bell said to TV Guide.

Stephen has no idea that his eldest daughter, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), was recently raped or that sicko Stephanie had a hand in it. Therefore, expect fireworks.

"For years this family has been ashamed to be Logans," Bell said. "Now they're going to rise up proudly and combat this oppressive woman."

Can we safely assume it's Stephanie who takes the bullet? Bell is mum except to note: "It's a shocker."
