The Bold & the Beautiful

Last Week...

As Will and R.J. get physical, Katie enrages Brooke, and Electra issues her 107th ultimatum. Better late than never, Daphne lays down the law, telling Ivy that the truth about Electra’s purloined letter must be told. Brooke is appalled by Katie’s choice. But Katie has some choice words for her sister; read ’em here. Hope Will’s been taking self-defense classes since he’s had a weak tussle with Remy, ’cause he and R.J. are about to get into a shoving match.

As Daphne grows ever more eager to rat out Ivy, Dylan says goodbye. Electra gives Will an ultimatum. Mm-hmm, because that worked so fantastically the last time she did so. As Dylan makes a heartbreaking decision, Brooke encourages R.J. to follow his heart. We all know where that will lead! Sheila doesn’t appear to be on this week, but we have a hunch we know how she’s spending her time off-screen — and Steffy won’t like it!

Ivy orders Electra to say four little words just before Will makes a heartfelt plea for a redo. Court is now in session, the honorable and proper Electra Forrester presiding. Will and Ivy, separately, take turns pleading their case to Electra. Ridge scolds R.J. not to bring his personal life to the office.

Dieu merci! As R.J. and Ivy go on the attack, Daphne finally approaches Electra with the awful truth. Ivy finds an ally in R.J. Gee, who would’ve thunk it, right? The aunt who wants Electra with R.J. and R.J. himself, a team? The burden of Ivy’s nasty secret weighing upon her, Daphne looks to Carter for advice. Heaven knows he’s seen a few of these workplace scandals play out!

“Letter” have it! Electra finally finds out how low Ivy stooped to sink her romance with Will. 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. Ashley Jones lands a role on Beyond the Gates — will she be bringing Bridget to Fairmont Crest or someone else? Finally, Electra finds out the whole awful truth.

Coming Up...

Electra finally learned the truth about what happened to the love letter she wrote Will. But if you think Ivy’s going to just say, “Oh my gosh, you’re right, it was kinda psycho and over-the-top of me to stoop so low to break up you kids,” you’ve got another think coming!

Auntie Virus admits that she orchestrated Electra and Will’s split — “and I’d do it all over again!” Well, you can’t say she doesn’t have the courage of her convictions, we suppose!

Will and R.J. Can’t Stop Fighting

In other developments, Ridge and Steffy may want to invest in separate playpens to put Will and R.J. in, because the two of them can’t cross paths without trading barbs if not also blows. Coming up, the Forrester heir accuses his nemesis of being a true Spencer through and through: avaricious, untrustworthy, the works.

Will isn’t fazed, though. Not really. He points out that R.J. isn’t even really a Forrester, since Eric isn’t Ridge’s biological father, the late Massimo Marone is.

Dylan’s Being Stalked

Finally, just as things seem to be settling down for Miss Dylan, they get all [bleeped] up again. She’s at work at Forrester — and actually working! — when she gets a mysterious call. Who is it? We can’t tell as the caller has their voice disguised. “We have some unfinished business,” the individual tells Dylan.

How many seconds do you think it will be before Cane tries to manipulate the latest addition to the Winters family?

Sally suspects she’s pregnant — and [Spoiler] is declared dead! #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.

Danger strikes after Adam is taken to Nick’s body — and Sally shares life-changing news. 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! Spyder 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?

Even before Mariah’s fate is decided, Camryn Grimes tells all about her new role — get to know her “intelligent and resourceful” character.

[Spoiler] is lured into a dangerous trap — plus, Jack and Nikki consider going nuclear on Victor. Victor, who set up Jack to be raped by Patty, helps Diane, who refuses to acknowledge that her husband was kidnapped and drugged, give the victim a taste of his own medicine. We didn’t think we could get more upset about this storyline, and yet… Lauren and Michael begin a new chapter. Sharon gets the hell outta Dodge to help out Nick.

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?

Friday, April 17:

Victor, who set up Jack to be raped by Patty, helps Diane, who refuses to acknowledge that her husband was kidnapped and drugged, give the victim a taste of his own medicine.

Lauren and Michael begin a new chapter.

Sharon gets the hell outta Dodge to help out Nick.

The Bold & the Beautiful

Last Week...

Sheila attacks Taylor, and Steffy sounds the alarm. To hell with enjoying being married for a hot minute! 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!

Monday, April 13:

Better late than never, Daphne lays down the law, telling Ivy that the truth about Electra’s purloined letter must be told.

Brooke is appalled by Katie’s choice. But Katie has some choice words for her sister; read ’em here.

Hope Will’s been taking self-defense classes since he’s had a weak tussle with Remy, ’cause he and R.J. are about to get into a shoving match.

Tuesday, April 14:

Electra gives Will an ultimatum. Mm-hmm, because that worked so fantastically the last time she did so.

As Dylan makes a heartbreaking decision, Brooke encourages R.J. to follow his heart. We all know where that will lead!

Wednesday, April 15:

Court is now in session, the honorable and proper Electra Forrester presiding. Will and Ivy, separately, take turns pleading their case to Electra.

Thursday, April 16:

Ivy finds an ally in R.J. Gee, who would’ve thunk it, right? The aunt who wants Electra with R.J. and R.J. himself, a team?

The burden of Ivy’s nasty secret weighing upon her, Daphne looks to Carter for advice. Heaven knows he’s seen a few of these workplace scandals play out!

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.
