Monday, February 23:

Given that she’s been in a coma for months — during which everything changed — it’s not entirely surprising that poor Maxie feels overwhelmed!

She’s ready to face the consequences of her actions, though… or so she thinks. Speaking of Mariah’s recent “trip,” Devon and Abby are about to find out whether they have it in them to forgive Mariah. Surely, they’ll understand that she wasn’t in her right mind. With Mariah back in Genoa City, Tessa finds herself torn between the promises she made to her wife and the vows she made to her new lover, Daniel.

Sally dumps Billy, and Nick shocks Sharon. Victor gives Cane a taste of his own medicine. But we’re pretty sure that Cane is familiar with that taste by now.

The Bold & the Beautiful

Last Week...

Not sure when Bill took over as workflow manager for Logan, but Katie’s better half nonetheless pushes Eric to hustle up and get his designs finished.

Eric’s health goes downhill, and Ridge demands answers. Eric begins to have difficulty breathing. And this, Bill, is why you don’t rush genius! Understandably worried about her honey bear, Donna does her best to convince Eric to get checked out at the hospital. Or at least call one of the doctors in the family. Finn… Bridget… in-law Li… anyone!

Katie drops a bomb on Brooke and Ridge, and Liam comes clean with Hope. What fun is a secret if it can’t be told, right? Liam must decide that the answer is “not much,” so he blabs to Hope that Eric is Katie’s lead designer. Elsewhere on the canvas…Ahh, yes. Same topic. Bill and Katie disclose to Brooke and Ridge that the Forrester patriarch is Logan’s no-longer-secret weapon.

Eric and Ridge clash in an epic confrontation that has devastating repercussions.

Brooke rips into Katie, and Electra doubles down on her ultimatum. Will and Electra deal with their relationship woes separately. After a scary incident, Eric tells all to Ridge and Brooke.

Coming Up...

There’s a new devil in the City of Angels — and her name is Ivy!

Wondering what exactly turned Electra’s aunt into a mean and judgmental Mary Poppins, but it would appear that she takes her meddling to a whole other level in the days ahead. In fact, Daphne catches her sneaking something into a purse and makes the mistake of confronting the Aussie about it.

Ivy’s response? “Gee, you’re right. I’ve gone too far.” Ha — if only. No, she doubles down on whatever she’s up to and warns Daphne not to tell anyone about what she’s seen.

Later, Ivy appears to play malevolent matchmaker, spying on Electra as she lets R.J. stroke her ego. “There is something wrong with that guy,” he says of Will, “if he’s not willing to do anything he can to hold onto you.”

Sure, R.J., because kicking an unhoused friend out on the street would be such an attractive thing for Will to do. Pfft!

Anyway, Will happens upon the scene just in time to find R.J. kissing Electra — which, it bears mentioning, is a helluva lot more than the nothing that transpired between Will and Dylan!

And in the continuing Eric saga, Katie defends her hiring of the Forrester patriarch after he was shown the door by his own family. “We gave him purpose,” she argues to Brooke and Ridge. But of course, Logan’s owner might as well be talking to the wall, because “Bridge” ain’t hearing a word she’s said.

As a matter of fact, Ridge goes so far as to say that Katie gave him nothing. Guess we can’t be surprised. He has always been the type to think that only what he thinks is right, no matter how much evidence there is to the contrary.

Vanessa has a favor to ask of Donnell, a nd Kat has a proposition for Tomas.

Ashley and Shanice mark a very special occasion.

Derek makes a decision that could impact the rest of his life.

Thursday, February 26:

The Young & the Restless

Last Week...

Cane caves to Victor, Claire digs for dirt, and Phyllis plots against her partner. Who would dare to even attempt to snow the great and powerful Victor Newman? Cane, that’s who. And of course,e his nemesis simply calls his bluff. Claire values truth and honesty a whole lot — except when it comes to her vendetta against Audra. Then Claire is fine with hiding her ulterior motives from Holden. A sister can always tell when something is very wrong, so Victoria keeps a watchful eye on Nick. Lucas Adams and his wife welcomtheir e first child: “Our lives are forever changed.”

Mariah’s plan escalates, and Phyllis pulls a fast one on Cane. Oh Lord, here comes the proclamations as Victor summons the Newmans for a meeting of the minds. In a move that should come as a surprise to no one, card-carrying schemers Phyllis and Billy plot to double-cross Cane. Sharon buys a ticket to take a guilt trip and blames herself for Mariah’s actions.

Mariah’s taken into custody, and Tessa makes a difficult decision. Desperate to be reunited with their son, Abby and Devon follow a lead to find Dominic. At the same time, an increasingly unhinged Mariah is forced to switch gears with her plan.

Diane goes ballistic on Jack, and Victoria threatens Billy. Victor makes a shocking discovery about Cane. Is he passed out? Dead? Playing possum? Victoria busts Billy and Phyllis. Nikki has had it up to here with her husband’s mad schemes. Naturally, it’s Jack with whom she decides to share her fears for the future of her marriage.

Billy and Sally break up, Noah asks Sienna to come back to Genoa City, and there’s a surprise kiss. As Cupid takes aim on Valentine’s Day, Billy works overtime to impress Sally. Across the canvas, Adam pulls out all the stops to romance Chelsea, too. Last but not least, Noah goes the extra mile for Sienna.

Coming Up...

Valentine’s Day is decidedly inthe rear-view... While Mariah’s homecoming throws Tessa’s romance with Daniel into turmoil, Sally has a bombshell to drop on Billy, Victoria discloses a new plan of attack, and Nikki doesn’t just get mad; she decides she’s going to get even, too.

Monday, February 16:

When Mariah returns home, a whole lotta people are gonna want a whole lotta answers. She’s ready to face the consequences of her actions, though… or so she thinks.

Speaking of Mariah’s recent “trip,” Devon and Abby are about to find out whether they have it in them to forgive Mariah. Surely, they’ll understand that she wasn’t in her right mind.

With Mariah back in Genoa City, Tessa finds herself torn between the promises she made to her wife and the vows she made to her new lover, Daniel.

Tuesday, February 17:

Victor gives Cane a taste of his own medicine. But we’re pretty sure that Cane is familiar with that taste by now. These two have been going tit for tat since Cane returned.

The Bold & the Beautiful

Last Week...

Taylor tells Ridge she’ll stop seeing Deacon, Sheila warns Deke, and Dylan makes a desperate decision. Ridge can huff and puff all he likes, but we don’t think he’ll be able to blow away Deacon and Taylor’s feelings for one another just by insisting that Sheila’s husband stay away from his own ex-wife. Speaking of Sheila… she tries to surprise Deacon with a romantic gesture. What could possibly go wrong?

Deke catches Dylan dumpster diving, and Steffy surprises Daphne with male dancers. A good time will be had by all when Steffy and Taylor throw Daphne a disco-riffic surprise bridal shower. Ridge lands the role of Carter’s best man.

Carter surprises Daphne, and Dylan comes clean to Will. Apparently, Deke has really risen in the ranks at Il Giardino. The eatery’s newest hire finds himself in a position to offer poor Dylan a job. Meanwhile, Will is shocked to learn the real reason Dylan moved out of the beach house. You’ve got some explaining to do, Ivy! Carter surprises Daphne with an impromptu wedding… in the Forrester Creations showroom. What, was Eric’s living room booked already?

At long last, lovelorn Carter is a married man. How long till he and Daphne hit their first post-honeymoon hiccup?

Electra dumps Will, and Carter and Daphne start baby-making. Though it’s certainly “not proper” to gossip, Ivy delights in informing Electra of the close moment she witnessed between Will and Dylan. Off that tense reveal, Electra issues an ultimatum. Newlyweds Carter and Daphne celebrate their marriage by making love.

Coming Up...

If you thought last week was climactic, wait till you see how the fit hits the shan.

Following Ivy’s prim and proper recitation of Dylan’s “sins” — the kid wore a bikini; what of it? — Will pleads with Electra to see reason. They were doing just fine, thank you, and helping a friend in need in the process. Now Ivy’s flapping her gums “ruining things.”

Needless to say, Electra’s aunt is eavesdropping on the estranged couple’s conversation in the Forrester Creations showroom. We imagine Ivy will be putting her own spin on Will’s account of recent events in three, two… Ah yes. There she goes, once again proving that her full name is Poison Ivy!

Sorry, but if Electra is so paranoid that she thinks a ballet dance is gonna convince Will to cheat on her, then maybe she’s just not mature enough for a relationship. Props to Will, anyway, for not letting his possessive gf convince him to toss Dylan back out of the street!

Across the canvas, it appears that Ridge and Brooke may be about to find out what’s been keeping Eric so busy since he was forced to retire from his own company. In the patriarch’s living room, Logan’s lead designer hollers at “Bridge” that “I can still create designs!”

That, he can. Brilliant ones, too, in Katie’s estimation. But no sooner has Eric stood up for himself than the scene takes a turn for the disturbing. He becomes short of breath, and as Brooke, Ridge, Bill, Katie, and Donna panic, a call to 911 is made.

Maybe it’s not so much designing that takes a terrible toll on Eric as it is the fact that he has to fight so hard for the right to sketch dresses. It’s not like he’s asking to go mountain-climbing or taking up parkour.

As Vernon and Kat sit down for an overdue talk, Anita tries to set the minds of Dani and Nicole at ease. Lynette manages to get exactly what she wants from Bill and Hayley!

Coming Up...

Monday’s episode is a rerun, but it packs a lot of punch. And the rest of the week is one twist after another. Anastasia manages to make Anita’s life hellish, while Dani kinda sorta puts Nicole to the test. But it’s the end of the week that we’re dying to see play out, because it sounds as if the walls are definitely closing in on Lynette, Hayley, and Randy!

Monday, February 16:

Today’s episode will be a rerun in which everything changes for Vanessa: While she and Joey are living it up in Puerto Rico, her soon-to-be-late husband is in a downward spiral!

Tuesday, February 17:

In a case of “better late than never,” Valentine’s Day is finally being celebrated around Fairmont Crest. As Anita croons a special tune for her man, Joey lets Vanessa take control of their evening. Elsewhere, Martin’s special gift does not go as planned.

Not everything is hearts and flowers! Because while Hayley is finally going to get what she wants, Dani is teaming up with the last person you might expecttoo wage war against a common enemy!

Wednesday, February 18:

Bill would probably rather not have to reach out to Joey, especially to request a favor, but that’s exactly what he finds himself having to do!

Nicole and Samantha have a bit of an issue… and Vanessa thinks she has the perfect solution!

Joey gets no small amount of pleasure as he watches Hayley and Randy squirm in front of Bill.

Chelsea is back to worrying that Madison will come to regret turning down her dream job in favor of their relationship.
