After Phoebe's death, things got a little strange on The Bold and the Beautiful. Rick was accused of being at fault for the accident, but somehow Phoebe's twin Steffy saw fit to forgive him and, well, enter into a lip lock with him. Twisted? Of course. But this is a soap opera, after all.

Now it seems like the pair may have a bit of an obsession with each other, no doubt partly because they are both fabulous to look at, but also due to the bond over Phoebe. However, Marcus still loves loves his girl and wants to make a future with her.

In your opinion, who should Steffy be with? Should she stick with the stable, stand-up Marcus, or should she let her passion and emotions steer her toward the ticking time bomb that is Rick? Let us know in the poll below...

Add impending wedding bells to an NAACP Image Award nomination (see blog post below), and you've got one happy leading lady.

Sincere congratulations go out to Eva Marcille, who plays the lovely but angst-ridden Tyra on The Young and the Restless. The Y&R beauty became engaged to actor Lance Gross (star of Tyler Perry's House of Payne) on Christmas Eve, 2008.

Curious about the bling? Of course you are! Looks like Mr. Gross got it right by presenting Eva with a three-carat Pave Cartier ring. Bravo!

As for a wedding date, the couple is said to be considering the summer of 2010.

Best wishes to this fabulous duo - a beautiful life full of happiness and success awaits them.
