The Young & the Restless

Last Week...

Holden warns Lily, and Diane can’t forgive Jack. Since Diane refuses to accept Jack’s apology, maybe it’s time that he reminded her that he got over the fact that she faked her own death and was ready to let Nikki go to prison for “killing” her. Rather than make a new acquaintance, Abby reaches out to an old friend. Wait, Abby has friends? Though Holden finds himself in a compromising position, that could be fun depending on with whom he lands in it!

Malcolm gives Lily bad news, and Holden’s mom arrives. Malcolm Winters (and special guest star Shemar Moore) returns home with a secret, while Dr. Stephanie Simmons (equally special guest star Vivica A. Fox) makes a surprise visit to Genoa City. Coincidence? We think not. In fact, we suspect that this theory is true.

Alert! Y&R just dropped a huge clue to Malcolm’s secret!

Malcolm learns he’s Holden’s father, and Cane rebuffs Phyllis’ offer. Long after they last saw one another, Malcolm and Stephanie have an emotional reunion. Phyllis tempts Cane. And we’d love to think that this time he’d be smart enough to resist temptation, but come on, this is Cane we’re talking about. He couldn’t find the way out of his own maze if someone left him a trail of bread crumbs! Lily is trusted with a shocking secret.

Oh snap! A mega-twist could send [Spoiler] to the hospital!

This “was not on my 2026 bingo card:” Zuleyka Silver was floored by what just happened on the set — and we would’ve been too!

Lily learns that Holden’s her brother, and Audra eavesdrops on Holden and Claire. Stephanie and Malcolm are forced to discuss their complicated past. Hey, Neil and Dru were right: They did make a gorgeous couple. Still do! As Lily ponders what to do with her newfound knowledge, she leans on Traci for guidance. “Well, it’s a secret, dear, so you keep it. What’s the dilemma?” Claire seemed to write off any future with Holden, but maybe she’ll change her mind when she sees a new side to him. And he’s gonna need a confidant as this story plays out!

Matt captures Nick, and Holden’s test results come in. Lily, never one to sit on the sidelines, takes matters into her own hands to help Malcolm. In Vegas, Adam plays with fire — and we have a feeling Chelsea’s going to be the one who gets burned. Matt Clark backs Nick into a corner. And honestly, at this point, Nick should know better than to go anywhere near a corner, don’t you think?

Beautiful! Mark Grossman’s latest adventure with his real love is “hard to put into words.”

Coming Up...

Jack’s situation goes from bad to worse (and somehow that is possible), Victor and Nikki’s attempt at saying “bygones” sounds more like just “bye,” and Holden tells the last person that he should that he’s now a member of the powerful Winters family.

Monday, April 13:

Maybe this would be a good time to remind Victor and Nikki that if at first they don’t succeed, they should try, try again — ’cause though they take a stab at getting back together, it quickly takes a turn for the worse.

Suddenly hell-bent on becoming Genoa City’s biggest kahuna, Phyllis makes the ultimate sacrifice to achieve her lofty goal.

Ever since he’s been in Vegas, Adam’s been gambling. Now he’s about to place an especially risky bet.

Young & Restless is taking just about the most disturbing approach to Sexual Assault Awareness Month that it possibly could.

Tuesday, April 14:

Personally, we’d have accepted Nikki’s offer in a heartbeat. But not Diane. She takes a hard pass on her enemy’s suggestion that they call a truce.

Cane is the last person in whom we’d confide anything. Yet Holden nonetheless fills him in on his new family ties. How many seconds do you think it will be before Cane tries to manipulate the latest addition to the Winters family?

Wednesday, April 15:

#awkward — Chelsea surprises Adam and Riza in Sin City.

Matt, as he tends to do, strikes back at Nick. Which we suppose makes it Nick’s turn to strike back at Matt?

Sharon might as well try to make pals of Victor and Jack. Instead, she attempts to repair Devon and Mariah’s shattered friendship.

Thursday, April 16:

His life in tatters, Jack leans on his former wife Nikki. Hey, it’s not like he’d get any empathy from his current wife!

Spider spins a web, which Adam uses to force Matt’s hand.

Sally’s patience is tested. But then, since she’s with Billy, isn’t that an everyday occasion?

Carter and Daphne want to start a family, and they want to start it now — like right this second. And it may be happening for the newlyweds, too, as Daphne’s ready to take a pregnancy test. Sheila demands answers from Taylor. But “Nurse Carter” isn’t going to like the ones that she gets. Her husband’s true love (for now, anyway) confirms the psycho’s “greatest fear.” Presumably, her greatest fear is being prosecuted for her many crimes.

Taylor offers Sheila a deal, and Sheila confronts Deacon about his affair. It’s the moment of truth for Daphne and Carter as they get the results of the pregnancy test. Wonder if babies can be born with a French accent. Taylor is frightened by Sheila. But by this point, we suspect it means that Taylor is even more frightened by her unexpected visitor.

Sheila begs Deacon to save their marriage, and Taylor updates Steffy, Finn, and Ridge. As Ridge, Steffy, and Finn rush to the rescue, Hope and Deke struggle with the situation. Kids, y’all helped create this situation by pushing your dad to cheat on his crazy wife! Maybe it would have been a good idea to do this before starting to tryst with Taylor! But better late than never, we suppose, Deacon and Sheila have a heartbreaking conversation about their marriage.

Shocker! Sheila's plot twist is leading to a previously unthinkable conclusion!

Sheila kisses her marriage goodbye and vows she’ll be back. As Hope defends Deacon — presumably against accusations that his pursuit of Taylor put her in harm’s way, Sheila and her (soon-to-be-ex?) husband reflect on their relationship. How could it have failed? We can just imagine them asking, considering that early on, she was cheating on Bill with Deacon. That’s not a formula for a lasting marriage?

Taylor zings Ridge in tense unaired clip!

Taylor and Deacon’s joyful reunion ends on an ominous note. Taylor may have emerged from her confrontation with Sheila with a pulse, but it ain’t over till it’s really over. The week ends with Taylor and Deacon blissfully unaware that they are being watched.

Coming Up...

Katie appalls Brooke, Daphne’s ready to play Truth or Consequences, and as R.J. and Will’s animosity turns physical, Electra at last learns what her Auntie Virus did!

Friday, April 17:

Why exactly does R.J. hate Will so much? Is it just that Forrester Creations isn’t big enough for two baby-faced Casanovas? Well, we’re about to find out as R.J. spills the tea.

Finally, Electra finds out the whole awful truth.

Will the singer elect to try, try again with her wife?

Stacy Haiduk reveals Patty’s ultimate goal — and yes, it’s more than just getting Jack!

As if Tessa’s life wasn’t complicated enough, Danny gives her and Daniel the opportunity of a lifetime. Adam embraces his Spider alter ego… perhaps a little too enthusiastically?

Appalling’! Tessa just laid the groundwork for Mariah’s next crisis.

The Bold & the Beautiful

Last Week...

Deacon makes a getaway, and Sheila grows increasingly suspicious. Sheila misinterprets the situation into which she walks. Maybe this spoiler refers to her incorrectly thinking she was busting into Taylor’s bedroom to save her from an attacker? ’Cause what Deacon and his shrink were up to was pretty extremely clear, no? Taylor and Deacon scramble to get out of a dangerous situation. So wait, does Sheila comprehend what she’s seeing? We’ll have to wait and watch how it plays out.

Sheila begins putting the pieces together, and Steffy goes nuts when Taylor confesses. When Steffy learns about what happened while she and the fam were away, she’s livid. How much harder can she put her foot down? Meanwhile, Sheila’s suspicions continue to grow. Didn’t she use to be a smart character? Not a nice one, but you know, smart at least?

Steffy orders Taylor and Deacon to stay away from one another — Sheila makes a game-changing discovery. Ironically, it’s on April Fool’s Day that Sheila starts to put the puzzle pieces together. Altogether understandably, Steffy becomes concerned about Taylor’s safety. Steffy may be mad at Mom, but that doesn’t mean she wants Sheila to kill her. Again.

Ivy confesses to Electra — plus, Steffy takes drastic measures to protect Taylor. It hasn’t worked before, but nonetheless, Steffy attempts to get through Deacon’s besotted skull by confronting her mom’s lover-boy. Electra learns something about Ivy. Are the Aussies’ days of playing puppet master coming to an end? Brooke presses R.J. for Intel. And hey, when she learns he’s head over heels for Electra, she’ll have to at least admit that she’s a safer bet than loony Luna!

Sheila catches Deacon and Taylor together. Sheila reverts to old habits. But which? Cutting off a toe to pretend she was eaten by a bear? Going on a shooting spree? The possibilities are as terrifying as they are limitless. Brooke and Ridge witness something that they shouldn’t have. And this is why you should always knock! Ivy continues to push Electra to forget about Will and get together with R.J.

Coming Up...

More than pizza looks like it’s gonna get sliced …

Ridge Is All ‘What the Hell?!?’

Ridge may have thought that ex-wife Taylor’s dalliance with Deacon was kaput when he angrily weighed in on the subject. But the dressmaker is about to find out from Steffy and Finn that Taylor shrugged off his order to break off her budding romance with Sheila’s husband.

“Why would she do this?” Ridge asks his daughter and son-in-law. “She knows he’s married to a psychopath!”

Maybe this would be a good time to explain to Ridge that the heart wants what it wants — kinda like he so recently got engaged to Taylor, then dumped her and tied the knot with Brooke in the same day. The heart is not known for its amazing decision-making!

Deacon Is Living In a Fool’s Paradise

Taylor’s would-be lover, meanwhile, is breathing easy. He’s convinced that he’s managed to cover his tracks with Sheila. Clearly, he didn’t catch her eyeballing that pizza box as if it were the smoking gun in a murder investigation!

Deacon tells daughter Hope, “I think she’s completely in the dark about Taylor and me.” Ha. If only it were so. Even as Il Giardino’s proprietor is patting himself on the back over how sneaky he’s been…

Sheila Attacks Taylor

Sheila snuck into Taylor’s office disguised as “Nurse Carter” and menacingly asked if the shrink was ready to take her medicine. In the week ahead, the unhinged woman scorned challenges “the other woman” to admit what she’s been up to with Deacon.

Unfortunately for Taylor, lover-boy didn’t just deliver her a pizza, he delivered her a pizza… cutter. As Sheila comes violently unglued, Taylor is left once again pleading with the murderess not to cut her to ribbons. Is the doc’s number up? Not likely, considering the next arc of this story has already leaked.
