The Bold and the Thankful The portrayers of B&B's Forrester and Marone patriarchs, John McCook and Joe Mascolo, usually celebrate Thanksgiving with their families in their mountain cabins. This year, however, Joe Mascolo will be staying local. "I couldn't get everybody up to the mountains and so it's going to be out in the Valley at another house," says Joe. Joe will be spending this turkey holiday with a large group pf family and friends. "[There will] probably [be] 30 or 40 people," notes Joe. "The group this time is going to be a big one. It's friends and family. [I asked friends] 'What are you doing for Thanksgiving?' [They reply] 'I don't know.' 'Well come on over.' So I said, 'OK, I'll buy the turkeys. You cook them though, because I don't know how!' I've got to have pumpkin pie; that I have to have." John McCook has a family tradition of spending Thanksgiving with his family at their cabin. "[It's on] June Lake up in the High Sierras up by Mammoth," says John. "We usually go there for Thanksgiving, and we always go there the day after Christmas until like New Years or the day before or the day after and come back." This year, they'll be feasting on turkey at John's sister's home in Ventura, with his mother and his sister's children, and their children and their children's children. "My sister's a great-grandma a couple of times already! She is much older than me," says John.
Lesley-Anne Down (Jackie) will be hosting her own family's Thanksgiving celebration and although she usually cooks up a storm, this year, she has decided to have it catered. "Usually I cook," explains Lesley. "I cook for Christmas and whatever usually, but this year, it's my husband's last day on the TV movie that he's doing. [It will] probably finish about seven in the morning, but people will be arriving about six or seven hours later. He's not going to be any help to me whatsoever and I will have worked the day before and I just can't do it -- too much stress. And so I thought I'll bite the bullet and have it catered, so that's what I'm doing." Lesley seemed secretly thrilled at the opportunity to have everything done for her. "Whenever I've had it catered before, which hasn't been very many times," says Leslie. "At least at about o'clock, they [the caterers] say, "Would madam like a glass of champagne?" Now that's what you call celebrating in style!
