Six seconds after Deke was hired at Logan, he and Hope host a mini in-house fashion preview.

Thursday, June 11:

Apparently, R.J. has no poker face whatsoever, because Ridge immediately wonders if his son has a new love interest.

Perfumer Fanny Greyson makes a return to Los Angeles.

Friday, June 12:

Remy is taken aback to learn that Deke is Logan’s new designer. So yeah, that whole “Everything must, must, must be a secret!” thing is going great.

When Steffy demands answers from Katie, we can only hope Logan’s boss quotes Glinda the Good Witch from The Wizard of Oz: “You have no power here. Be gone, before somebody drops a house on you!”Did 

Will it create an unsafe work environment? How soon Steffy forgets that her own father beat up Thorne at Forrester numerous times over the years — and with Hope’s self-given title, couldn’t several people fill her shoes?!

It brought Lexie back from the dead. It offered a lifeline to Cat’s dying mother. Rafe even suggested it could reshape humanity’s future. But every miracle cure eventually comes with a receipt. Rolf received troubling results from the necropsy of a resurrected lab rat. EJ’s miracle drug may have a dangerous flaw. Cat has already obtained the treatment for her mother. Lexie’s near-collapse came immediately after Rolf’s alarming update. Salem may be underestimating the risks of Rolf’s latest breakthrough.

Beyond the Gates

Last Week...

In a special rerun, BTG goes behind the scenes with the soap’s stars to learn what it really takes to bring Fairmont Crest to life!

Doug appears to Deanna to help her with Joey, Nicole admits to Kial that she fantasized about Ted, and Hayley’s plan may be working. Tomas may be getting a little too big for his britches. How else to explain Bill giving his young associate orders to stand down? The plasma ring may have caused all kinds of pain and destruction already, but Leslie, being Leslie, all she can think about is how it will impact her!

The Bold & the Beautiful

Last Week...

Hope signs with Logan, and Deacon gives an update on Sheila. A summer soirée brings Will and Electra closer together — perhaps even close enough to reunite? After his latest plea, how could she refuse? Katie needs a final answer from Hope: Is she joining Logan or not?

Hope gives Brooke shocking news, and Will punches RJ. Brooke is stoked about Hope For the Future returning to Forrester (a sure sign that Hope is defecting). Will makes R.J. the victim of a low blow. Then again, R.J. kinda has it coming, as obnoxious as he’s been to his cousin. Wait… Sheila’s shacked up with [Spoiler]?!

Wyatt returns to an eyebrow-raising task — plus, R.J. milks his injury to strike back at Will. Bill summons someone from the past to help expand the Logan brand — and this is who it is! Can you “handle” it? Some of your favorite soap stars’ real names revealed. Rather than learn to play well with others, R.J. pleads with Daddy and Steffy to fire Will. A second comeback hints at an unthinkable hookup. Read all about it here.

Wyatt’s Shauna shocker absolutely stuns Bill and Liam — plus, Ridge chooses between R.J. and Will. The Logan family feud puts Donna right in the middle of the muddle. If only someone had predicted that this would happen. Oh, wait — Donna did! Bill’s plan gets thrown for a loop. Could that have something to do with Shauna’s surprise return?

Will faces a “firing squad.” Hope slooowly reveals that Deke has a new job. Electra has exciting news to share with Dylan. But if it’s that she’s reunited with Will, Dylan may not be able to share that excitement. Things are finally looking up for Deke. Hmm… so again, it sounds like Hope signs that contract after all!

Coming Up...

The battle lines were already drawn, but they got dug even deeper. Brooke and Steffy play mind games with Katie and Hope, and Will all but promises that bruised ribs will soon be the least of R.J.’s complaints!

Brooke and Steffy Tag Team the Logan Gang

Obviously, a serious bone of contention that Katie has not only left Forrester but founded Logan (and using Brooke’s surname; oh my!). Rather than simply beating the upstart fashion house on the runway, Brooke and Steffy take a different approach: getting in the opposition’s head.

For Brooke, that means needling her sister about her second collection and asking who she’ll possibly find to design it — as if there aren’t hundreds of designers in L.A. For Steffy, that means paying a visit to Hope if only to insist that Logan is the flavor of the moment, and that moment will soon pass.

And Steffy doesn’t even realize yet that she’s talking to Logan’s new celebrity hire!

Will Declares War On R.J.

Meanwhile, the dust hasn’t even begun to settle from R.J.’s Carter-sanctioned firing of romantic rival Will. Electra’s boyfriend calls the sucker punch of his nemesis “a love tap to the ribs,” but Ridge likens it to assault. (Hate to say it, but the dressmaker is technically right in this case.)

Needless to say, Will isn’t going down without a fight. He may be out of a job, but no way in hell is he gonna stay out of R.J.’s face. In fact, he goes so far as to tell Little Lord Fauntleroy that he’ll rue the day that he messed with him!

Why is the soap doing the Eric joins Logan story all over again with Hope? Are we supposed to dislike R.J. less because Will punched him? Is “Wilectra” the least randy young couple of all time?

The Young & the Restless

Last Week...

A repeat of the one from July 3, 2019: Victor makes a dangerous decision, Victoria plots her revenge against Phyllis, and romance blooms for Devon and Elena.

Victor and Nick come for Matt… and Phyllis, and Patty plans to be the next Mrs. Jack Abbott. As if he needed any, Victor gains even more leverage against Phyllis. Is it time she admitted she was defeated and waved the white flag? If we were Sally, we might have hurried to tell Adam ourselves. But instead, Billy is the one who will inform his significant other’s ex of her pregnancy. Patty makes a distress call about Jack. Terror unleashed: Patty sets a trap for Jack… using [Spoiler]!

The Newmans hold a heated confrontation with Matt Clark — and Nick collapses. Lily and Cane were married twice and have known each other for decades, and somehow, she still manages to see him in yet another new light. Abby makes a promise to Devon. Addiction takes its toll on Nick, as his very life hangs in the balance.

Nikki worries her nightmare is coming true — plus, in a shocking twist, [Spoiler] works to save Nick’s life. As Victor makes a shocking decision to help Nick, Victoria seeks Jack’s help. Coincidence? We suspect not. Holden and Stephanie receive news on Malcolm’s condition. Nikki is haunted by her dreams. But on the plus side, at least it sounds like she’s getting some sleep.

Nick threatens to end Matt as Adam panics that his brother is going over the edge. It’s tough-love time for the Newman family as Victor and Nikki force Nick to face his issues. This promises to be fascinating: Phyllis gives Patty a history lesson — no doubt the snarkiest one in history! Since there’s never a dull moment over at the Abbott mansion, Kyle gives Jack surprising news about Diane. If only that news were “She’s come to her senses and stopped blaming you for being sexually assaulted by Patty!”

Strangely, Crimson Lights doesn’t have any “coffeehouse” music playing in the background.

Coming Up...

The race is on to jog Matt Clark’s memory — even though pretty much everyone will regret it if he recalls what a remorseless rat bastard he really is! Plus, Noah’s plans worry Sienna, Victor comes out in his usual spot (on top), “Ally” reunites to discuss her pregnancy, and Holden and Audra’s past catches up with them.

Monday, June 1:

Though his wife knows all of his favorite tactics, Victor nonetheless tries to bargain with Nikki.

Jack worries about Diane’s absence from Genoa City — perhaps with good reason.

From the “Careful What You Wish For” files: Nick leads the charge to restore Matt’s memory. Frankly, we’d prefer if this were to happen.

Tuesday, June 2:

Once again, Victor forces Nick to face up to his issues.

Are we headed for tragedy when Adam and Sally discuss her pregnancy? Here’s why we’re so afraid.

Lily doles out some tough love to Devon.

Sienna reveals her reservations about Noah’s new venture.

Friday, June 5:

Victor makes good on his promise to Lily. And here we didn’t think he ever kept his word!

Holden and Audra are forced to face their past — and the crimes they’d like to remain in it.

Sharon gives Phyllis the benefit of the doubt.

Why did “Lane’s” date feel like a business meeting? How perfect was Victor’s expression after Matt saved Nick?

General Hospital

Last Week...

Fans of the amazing Erika Slezak won’t want to miss this episode. Sure, it’s a rerun, but it features the much-loved actress as Ronnie. The “encore presentation” includes Tracy busting Ronnie, Drew being exposed, and more.

Kristina gets accepted into medical school, and Rocco leaves a message for his parents. Lulu and Dante were in the position of basically having to work together toward a common goal. Carly can only hope that her words have an impact when she makes a desperate plea. Kristina gets big news… but is it of the good or bad variety? Chase teams up with Joe as they chase down a lead. Sidwell has a theory and is ready to share it with Ava.

Molly pushes Kristina to go to med school, and Justine plans to prosecute Curtis! Molly encourages Kristina. Upon finding out what Britt did, Ric makes sure to check on Elizabeth. Sonny suggests that someone move forward very, very carefully. Trina is not going to like the news that Kai shares with her. Is that what prompts her to pay a visit to her parents? Gio was there during Emma’s time of crisis. Now it’s her turn to return the favor.

Tracy may have accidentally revealed Brook Lynn’s secret to Michael, and Willow tells Chase she doesn’t want to be married to Drew! After everything she’s done, we can’t imagine what it would take to leave Willow feeling “horrified.” But we’ll definitely find out today! Does Michael have good reason to be suspicious? Curtis has been downright insufferable recently. Will the challenge Portia issues to him make a difference? (We’re hoping she says something along the lines of, “Provide proof or stop harassing Isaiah!”). Valentin gets caught up in a web of manipulation. Someone’s about to intrude on Molly and Cody.

Valentin pumps up the romance with a swoon-worthy gesture. Ethan is a man with a mission. A new mission, in fact! Molly once again proves to be the level-headed local when she offers some wise counsel. Charlotte finds herself opening up to, of all people, Carly! What does Michael know that he’s offering Brook Lynn advice to be cautious?

The husband of the late Anthony Geary honors the vet on what would’ve been his 79th birthday: “We miss your sweet smile, your beautiful voice.”
