Y&R remembers Kristoff St. John and Neil Winters in a special tribute

Young & Restless spoilers for Friday, May 28:

Neil Winters’ family and friends honor his legacy through memories and music.

This one’s bound to be a heartbreaker! The day of Devon and Lily’s special event arrives as Neil’s family and friends gather to celebrate his memory. If you’re so inclined, take a peek through a scrapbook of Neil Winters memories compiled as we marked the second anniversary of his untimely death.

Meanwhile, it’s impossible to think of Neil without reflecting on his marriage to Dru.

Young & Restless spoilers for Monday, May 31:

Victor reminds Chelsea to stay the course with their plan, but we have our doubts that she’ll listen, given that she seems to be hatching a plot of her own. What consequences will there be from the Mustache if the con decides to veer from the party line?! And could they lead her into the arms of a new man?

While we don’t put a lot of stock in soap-opera tests of this ilk, the moment of truth nonetheless arrives for Kyle and Ashland as they learn which of them is Harrison’s father. Will the Abbott heir find out that he’s been played for a fool?

With Kyle’s priorities suddenly up in the air, Nick and Phyllis worry about Summer’s future. If they keep getting mixed up in their little girl’s big dramas, will the exes ever make it back to the altar?

Young & Restless spoilers for Tuesday, June 1:

On the heels of the paternity test, Jack vows to protect his family at all costs. Protect them from what? We have to assume that the threat is none other than the ruthless Locke Ness Monster. But how will the Abbotts fare against so formidable a foe?

As her future begins to take an entirely different shape from the one that she’d imagined, Summer struggles with Tara’s increased role in Kyle’s life.

The hits keep on coming the longer Amanda keeps digging. Watch for Ms. Sinclair to learn even more shocking news about her past!

Young & Restless spoilers for Wednesday, June 2:

It’s no laughing matter when you find yourself — or your company — targeted by Victor. What will the mogul have in store when he prepares a plan of attack against Billy?

How times change! Kevin, the former Chipmunk Bandit, who now works on the other side of the law, forces Chloe to do the right thing and come clean about her role in Chelsea’s plot and Rey’s poisoning.

Everything seemed to be going so well! We have to wonder what prompts the change of heart when Nick questions his truce with Adam.

Young & Restless spoilers for Thursday, June 3:

Victor sets his scheme in motion by pushing Billy’s buttons, but to what end? Is the Mustache hoping to cause his daughter’s ex to slip up and play right into his experienced and ruthless hands?

When Summer turns to Sharon for guidance, it’s pretty much got to be about how to handle the difficult situation with Tara and Harrison and not how to change a paternity test! (We hope, at least!)

We’re not the only ones crossing our fingers for a hook-up, it seems, as Nikki makes note of the chemistry between Victoria and Ashland.

Young & Restless spoilers for Friday, June 4:

Victor has never been a minimalist. When he goes in, he goes all in. So we can’t wait to see how he surprises Nikki with a grand gesture, especially as she’s the wife whose marriage to the mogul comes in at No. 1 on our photo-filled countdown.

When Ashland has a change of heart, it’s shocking on two levels: 1. We thought when he made up his mind, hell would freeze over before it got unmade. And 2. Ashland has a heart to change? Who knew?

You would think that Amanda’s motto by now would be “Another day, another twist.” It isn’t, though, so the lawyer is shocked once again by a new development in Sutton’s case. Honestly, there are corkscrews that are less twisty!

Don Diamont as $Bill Spencer

The Bold and the Beautiful

The case of Vinny’s death only becomes more complicated — and emotional — after Liam turns himself in, and Brooke gets the shocking full story from Hope!

Bold & Beautiful spoilers for Friday, May 28:

Liam and Hope break down after he says goodbye to Douglas, Wyatt questions Bill, and Brooke surprises Ridge.

$Bill has never been a paragon of compassion, but even Wyatt is shocked when he shows no remorse at all in the matter of Vinny’s death. Watch for Flo’s fiancé to demand answers from his dear ol’ dad — but whether he gets any satisfaction from him is another matter altogether.

On tenterhooks after what she’s learned about the circumstances surrounding Vinny’s demise, Hope expresses her fear of losing Liam and their family forever. Is she already beginning to regret finding out what’s been weighing on her husband? And is she right to be afraid?

Bold & Beautiful spoilers for week of May 31:

Bold & Beautiful spoilers for Monday, May 31:

Bill races against time to stop Liam from confessing to Deputy Chief Baker. Will he arrive too late to zip his son’s lips? Or more likely, will the overbearing mogul make matters far worse when he does show up?

Although they came close to never learning the truth — that it’s Finn’s unborn child that Steffy is carrying — the proud parents-to-be get to share a moment of unadulterated joy when learn the gender of their baby.

Bold & Beautiful spoilers for Tuesday, June 1:

Liam may be a softie, but he’s also pretty crafty when he wants to be. So watch for him to play a trick on Bill in order to do the right thing.

Baker listens as Liam recounts the story of the accident that turned Vinny into PDV (Poor Dead Vinny). But will the cop believe what he’s hearing? And if not, what kind of a quandary will Liam find himself in then? Could he actually end up facing life in prison?!

Bold & Beautiful spoilers for Wednesday, June 2:

As Steffy and the Forresters anticipate the arrival of the newest member of their family, here’s hoping there won’t be any unanticipated drama involving Finn to derail this happy time in their lives.

An emotional Hope grants Liam forgiveness as he is arrested for the murder of Vincent Walker. Wonder if the judge will do the same — and who he’ll get to defend him in court.

Bold & Beautiful spoilers for Thursday, June 3:

We can remember a time when Liam happily would have given Bill up to whatever fate he had coming, but times have changed. Refusing to incriminate his father, Liam stays silent as Baker grills him for more information about the night that Vinny became roadkill.

Though the Eric/Quinn/Carter/Zoe quadrangle is on the backburner this week, it’s still in the forefront of our minds — to the point that we think we’ve figured out the shocking way that it will end. Read our theory and find out the woman with whom we suspect Carter will wind up — and it isn’t either Quinn or Zoe!

Hope is a good egg, but she’s fierce when she’s truly upset! Watch for Liam’s angry wife to tangle with $Bill once again, this time blaming him for her better half being in prison.

Bold & Beautiful spoilers for Friday, June 4:

Devastated, Hope breaks down to Brooke about Liam’s arrest and Bill’s involvement. Her mother is bound to be astonished, but we have to wonder what her take will be, given her romantic history with Liam’s Daddy Dearest.

Time for a visit to the hot dog stand to clear his head! Baker gets frustrated when Bill and Liam continue to take the blame for each other. We have to wonder how on earth this will end! And will it ever turn into the “murder mystery” that the show initially promised?

Hot Topics: Has Hope just made an enemy of Bill? Plus, we really need to talk about Zoe’s dress. You know which one.

Laura Wright as Carly Corinthos; Bonnie Burroughs as Gladys Corbin

General Hospital

Someone nervously awaits news, as another feels trapped. A man is pushed past his breaking point then faced with some very tough questions.

General Hospital spoilers week of May 24:

GH Opinion: We loved GH’s tribute to John Reilly’s Sean Donely, applaud the hijinx over at Monica’s hotel house, and can’t wait to leave Nixon Falls.

General Hospital spoilers for Monday, May 24:

Gladys is kidnapped, Maxie confides in Spinelli, and Peter falls down a flight of stairs.

Things could get a bit touchy between “Mike” and Nina when he’s bothered by her latest actions. (Anybody else thinking this will involve Elijah?)

Britt’s as nervous as a cat in a room filled with rocking chairs as she awaits news.

Gladys might wanna check her usual attitude at the door when she takes a meeting with Port Charles’ new Lady Boss, Carly.

Jason and Britt kiss, Chloe injects Maxie with a sedative, and Cyrus orders Brando to kill Gladys.

Brando is going to try and do the impossible: reason with Cyrus.

Willow and Sasha take a moment to catch up on everything that’s happened over the past few weeks.

What will happen when Brando is pushed past his breaking point?

Fully aware of just how evil her brother is, Britt can’t help but worry about Maxie. Meanwhile, Valentin is keeping a very close eye on Brook Lynn. Will that put a crimp in the plan she and Maxie have worked out?

Scarlett Fernandez as Charlotte Cassadine

Roger Howarth returns as a doctor who helps Maxie deliver her baby, Nikolas isn’t on board with Carly and Ava’s plan and Dante helps Sam with her batting stance.

Maxie is about as prepared as she can be for the arrival of her baby. The big question is whether she and Brook Lynn can pull off their plan! Meanwhile, Valentin issues yet another threat to Peter.

Cyrus manages to come out on top, but against who?

Ava and Carly aren’t exactly the best of friends. Heck, they’re not even frenemies! But will Carly accept when Avery’s mom offers to lend a hand?

They must be serving ice cream in hades, because Britt actually agrees to hear Jason out!

General Hospital spoilers for Friday, May 28:

Chloe knocks out Austin, Cyrus is shot and Portia kisses Curtis.

What’s got Anna feeling so apologetic? (Aside from the whole “I should have stopped Peter ages ago” thing, of course… )

GH Opinion: Thrilled and intrigued with Roger Howarth’s return but we really need to know if Peter is dead.

Willow finds herself having a tense confrontation with Chase’s dad, Finn. (Anybody else still find it weird to think of Chase as being the doctor’s son?)

Laura does what she can to help a friend in need, while Curtis receives a phone call that will leave him shaken.

General Hospital spoilers for Wednesday, June 2:

What Laura discovers today will definitely leave her feeling shaken.

What has Curtis reaching out to Jordan… and could this be an indication that they aren’t quite as over as either of them might believe?

Gregory is pretty sure that Finn’s been working to avoid him, and Jackie finds herself feeling sympathetic.

Stop us if you’ve heard this one before, but Peter is backed into a corner.

General Hospital spoilers for Thursday, June 3:

Emotions will be running high after the conversation Laura has with her husband, Kevin.

Jordan is feeling more than a little restless. (Here’s hoping that doesn’t lead to her doing something reckless.)

Due to the Memorial Day holiday, the NBC soap opera will be pre-empted today.

Days of Our Lives spoilers for Tuesday, June 1:

Roger Howarth Is Back on General Hospital

Fans of Roger Howarth were elated when Roger Howarth aired for the first time since the ABC soap, General Hospital, killed off his character, Franco Baldwin.

Roger appeared shirtless in the woods as he happened upon Maxie (Kirsten Storms), who went into labor after running from Nurse Chloe (Kimberly J. Brown), after being hired by Peter (Wes Ramsey), to kidnap Maxie so he could be with Maxie and their daughter, Louise, who was about to be born.

Howarth’s new character, Austin, a doctor (first airtime appearance, May 27, 2021) delivers Maxie’s daughter, Louise.

Soap Veteran Crystal Chappell Shares Some Big Personal News

The characters Crystal Chappell has played on daytime dramas have all been fiercely devoted to their respective families. Now, the actress, perhaps best known for her run as Carly on Days of our Lives, is announcing some personal news as her family is expanding.

Crystal Chappell’s Big Announcement

“Hey, everybody, it’s Crystal,” Chappell began in a video posted on the Twitter account for her award-winning Web series Venice. “I hope this finds you well. I’m so excited. There’s been so much crazy going on over the last year. Good news is just good news, right?

“This October,” the Daytime Emmy winner reveals, “Michael [Sabatino, ex-Lawrence, DAYS; ex-Chip, Knots Landing] and I are going to be grandparents. We’re super excited. We wish [our son] Jake and [our daughter-in-law] Grace — they’re going to be great parents — all the best.”

The name of the newest family member hasn’t been announced, however, Chappell reveals the new names she and Sabatino will be adopting are, respectively, ‘Gran’ and ‘Pop.’ So, together, we’re Pop and Gran and we’re going on the road,” Chappell deadpans. “We’re going to make up a dance to go with that.”

The actress had one bit of series news to share with her fans. She says It Girls On The Stoop, which stars both her and Hillary B. Smith (ex-Nora, One Life to Live/General Hospital; ex-Margo, As the World Turns) is definitely coming back for a third season!

In addition to her tenures as Carly on DAYS, Chappell is also known for playing Maggie Carpenter on One Life to Live, and Olivia on Guiding Light. The actress won the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for playing GL’s Olivia in 2002. Soap Hub joins the actress’s fans, family, and friends in congratulating her and the entire family on the upcoming bundle of joy!

Once More… With Feeling: Who Is the Right Days of our Lives Man For Sami?

How many times have we been here on Days of our Lives? Sami and Lucas, or Sami and EJ? Some fans change their minds regularly. Others stick with their favorites through thick and thin. So where are over 2,000 of you standing this time around?

Days of our Lives Polling: Hidden Gem

A winning 59% of the audience voted for Lucas (Bryan Dattilo). We don’t know if that’s because he and Sami (Alison Sweeney) have children together – both of whom are currently on the canvas (well, Will comes and goes, but we’ve still seen him more recently) as opposed to being off in Europe… somewhere – or because they’re currently stuck together, thanks to Kristen (Stacy Haiduk).

Either way, these two have been through it all and came out the other side. What more proof do you need that they are the One True Pairing, not to mention Endgame? Long live Lumi!

Married Man

A smaller 23% of the fans are holding out hope for EJ to recover and re-assume his place by Sami’s side. Are they technically still married? So hard to know when one comes back from the dead. EJ is smooth and suave and cosmopolitan. He’s also rich and connected. And he and Sami have two children, too — the presently unseen Johnny and Sydney. Long live EJami!

Done and Done-er

We’ve had enough of both losers, 18% of you sigh. It’s not fun anymore, it’s like being trapped in an endless rerun. We know what all of them are going to say before they say it. We demand someone new, someone who can challenge Sami, someone who can temper her worst impulses… and someone who doesn’t know what it means when she goes full Sami… yet.

Sure, they’ll be frightened away in the long run. But at least we’ll get something new to watch for as long as it lasts.

Days of our Lives Alum Olivia Rose Keegan Previews New High School Musical Role

Olivia Rose Keegan, who won a Daytime Emmy for playing Claire Brady on Days of our Lives, left last August after five years in Salem because she booked a new role on the second season of the Disney+ series, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.

Olivia Rose Keegan Previews New Role

The popular show returned last Friday and tonight, the second episode of the show airs, and the young star is featured prominently in the episode.

Keegan plays Lily, a new girl in school who seems destined to throw a wrench into the school’s musical theatre production of Beauty and the Beast. With Nini (Olivia Rodrigo), the star of the last school production, off in Denver studying at a musical conservatory, the top roles are up for grabs, and Lily is ready to claim a starring role. The actress talked to ET online to preview what’s ahead for her character this season.

“I really love, love Lily,” she said. “I’ve played a lot of roles that seem to have this evil nuance about them. And I’m like, ‘Maybe it’s time to look inward and see what kind of vibe I’m giving out into the universe that leads me to these roles.’”

That would certainly be true of firestarter Claire when she was playing the role. Of course, like all the characters on the Disney+ show—be it Ricky, E.J. or Nina or just about anyone—there’s more to Lily than meets the eye.

“No character is one-dimensional,” Keegan said. “Every character goes into the actual humanity and the realness of every character. It’s been really fun to do that with Lily too. I’m excited for people to see all the twists and turns that Lily takes you on because it’s not just a surface-level mean girl.”

And just as she showed many times with Claire, Keegan certainly has the chops for a lead role, as she performs an incredible rendition of the song “Belle” for Miss Jenn during Lily’s tryout. Will she land the part? Check it out tonight, Wildcats!

Days of our Lives Spoilers: Ben Receives Some Heavenly Help

The Days of our Lives spoilers for Monday, May 24, 2021, tease Jan running on fumes, Ben getting a visitation from a not so friendly ghost, and Steve and Kayla trying, and failing, to enjoy date night.

Days of our Lives Spoilers Highlight

All Jan (Heather Lindell) wanted was to be Mrs. Shawn Douglas Brady and Claire’s (Isabel Durant) “bonus mama.” She assumed she’d achieve that goal with the one two punch of murdering Allie’s (Lindsay Arnold) rapist – and Claire’s tormentor – and framing Belle (Martha Madison) for the crime…but you know what they say about assumptions.

It turns out that Claire isn’t at all grateful to learn exactly what went down in Charlie’s (Mike Manning) apartment the night he died – and a highly disappointed Jan decides that drastic action is necessary to convince Claire that was she did was righteous!

Meanwhile, Belle gets alarming news from slimy Dr. Snyder (Michael Lowry). Might he have some warning about Jan, his former patient? Or could there be some problem with John (Drake Hogestyn) or Brady (Eric Martsolf)? When it comes to University Hospital, you can never be too sure that you’ll actually come out better than when you went in.

Ghost World

As if Ben (Robert Scott Wilson) wasn’t feeling blue enough, he receives a visit from Jordan (Chrishell Stause) from the great beyond. Here’s hoping that this ghoul is Good Girl Jordan and not that bitter twisted fiend who was so hell-bent on “saving” Ciara (Victoria Konefal) from Ben that she tried to poison the young woman with a tainted brownie. That Jordan, we, and Ben can do without.

A Disrupted Dinner

Steve (Stephen Nichols) and Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) ask for so little…and they get even less. So it should come as no surprise to either one of them when their romantic evening is rudely interrupted.

Days of our Lives Spoilers: Dangerous Developments Threaten Lives

The Days of our Lives spoilers for May 24-28, 2021, tease Jan spiraling out of control, Brady taking a stand, and so much more.

Days of our Lives Spoilers Highlights

Just when it seemed that Shawn (Brandon Beemer) had Jan (Heather Lindell) exactly where he wanted her, the wily psychopath slips from his grasp – and heads straight for Claire (Isabel Durant), gun in hand!

During the ensuing confrontation, Jan reveals that she was the one who murdered Charlie Dale (Mike Manning), and she’s stunned when Claire doesn’t thank her for her actions.

The frightened young woman manages to place a stealth call to Ben (Robert Scott Wilson), and he, in turn, alerts Shawn and Belle to their daughter’s predicament. Shawn phones Jan and attempts to negotiate an exchange, but Jan demands to speak with Belle. Belle swears that she’ll cop to Charlie’s murder…but only if Claire is released unharmed.

Jan considers the proposal – then makes a run for it with a stolen car and Claire as her unwilling wheel woman. During the course of her getaway, Jan becomes aware that Chloe Lane (Nadia Bjorlin) is bound and gagged in the vehicle’s trunk…and she decides the more (hostages), the merrier.

Calling It Quits

After finding out the extent of Kristen’s (Stacy Haiduk) villainy – including her plan to have his stepsister and Lucas (Bryan Dattilo) murdered – Brady (Eric Martsolf) comes to the conclusion that he has no future with his former lover.

Odds and Ends

In other Salem news, Rafe (Galen Gering) and Ava (Tamara Braun) take their relationship to the next level, and Xander (Paul Telfer) and Gwen (Emily O’Brien) cross paths.

Meanwhile, Marlena (Deidre Hall) and Paulina (Jackée Harry) bond, Kristen asks Chad (Billy Flynn) for a huge favor, and Sami grills Allie (Lindsay Arnold), hoping to get the goods on her most hated rival.

Finally, Nicole (Arianne Zucker) struggles to keep her adultery a secret, and Jake (Brandon Barash) is thrown by a new development in Kate’s (Lauren Koslow) medical condition.

Days of our Lives Confirms Dan Feuerriegel Is Set To Play E.J. DiMera

E.J. DiMera is coming back to Days of our Lives. But it’s not the previous portrayer, James Scott, who’ll be playing the role. Actor Dan Feuerriegel has been hired to play the part.

Dan Feuerriegel Joins Days of our Lives As E.J. DiMera

Deadline broke the news that Feuerriegal has been tapped to bring the role of the DiMera baddie to life. The actor is known for his run as Argon, a gladiator, on Spartacus: Blood and Sand. Viewers last saw Scott in the role after his character had been shot. We later learned that Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) spirited him away. DAYS set the stage for a new actor to take over the role after E.J. was in an explosion and moved to Europe to recuperate.

“E.J. has always been an important character to the Salem landscape,” Ken Corday, executive producer, said, “and we’re thrilled to have found Dan to bring him back to the canvas.” Feuerriegal is set to debut on Wednesday, June 9. “I am so excited to bring E.J. back to Days of our Lives and to see what flavor I can bring to Salem,” said Feuerriegel.

Now that the news is official, the actor’s co-stars are sharing the news of Feuerriegel being the show’s latest cast member. “You will LOVE him!” promises Martha Madison (Belle).

The Australian actor’s other credits include McLeod’s Daughters, Home and Away, and All Saints. In the U.S., he’s appeared on NCIS: LA, Chicago Fire, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Pacific Rim: Uprising.

E.J.’s parents are Susan Banks (Stacy Haiduk) and Stefano DiMera. The character is one of Stefano’s few surviving children. E.J.’s late siblings include Lexi (Renee Jones), Benjy (Jim Lunsford), Renee (Philece Sampler), and Megan (Miranda Wilson). E.J. is the father of Sami’s (Alison Sweeney) son Johnny and daughter Sydney.

Days of our Lives Comings and Goings: Surprise Return, Big Exit

Who’s coming and who’s going from Days of our Lives (DOOL)?

Days of our Lives C&G News

Are any of your favorite performers from yesteryear returning to the daytime drama, this week, or in the not too far off future? Have any new actors or actresses been cast on the show in contract, recurring or day-player roles? Are any well-remembered stars from other soaps, past or present, about to join the Days of our Lives fold in surprising new parts?
Here’s the latest casting news from the NBC soap.

The week of May 24, 2021

Another resurrection from the Salem dead? Not exactly, but Chrishell Stause is reprising her role as Jordan Ridgeway. Jordan’s ghost is set to pay a visit to her troubled brother, Ben (Robert Scott Wilson), on Monday, May 24, and Tuesday, May 25. Stause made her last appearance on the soap in July of 2020.

It’s the end of the line for Kristen DiMera and actress Stacy Haiduk… for now. Look for Kristen to avert going back to prison by sneaking out of Salem. It’s not the end of the line for the character, however, as Haiduk will be returning to the soap.

Please note that air dates may be subject to change.

Days of our Lives Weekly Update: Blackmail, Hostages, and Threats

Days of our Lives spoilers weekly update for May 24 – 28, 2021, reveal a huge secret coming to light, another secret staying under wraps, and two Salemites hopping on the love boat.

Days of our Lives — The Week Ahead

Jan is feeling generous and offers up a huge secret to Claire. Jan begins to describe the gruesome details from the night Charlie (Mike Manning) was murdered. Will Claire keep the details under wraps? Or share them with Shawn and Belle to help in their prosecution of Jan?

In the latest attempt to gain the location of Chloe’s whereabouts, Brady (Eric Martsolf) and Philip (Jay Kenneth Johnson) pressure Kristen to reveal her hiding spot. Will they have any luck getting the wrongdoer to talk?

Love is in the Salem air for a budding couple. Rafe (Galen Gering) and Ava (Tamara Braun) decide now is the perfect time to take their relationship to the next level. Will anything or anyone try to stop them?

Days of our Lives Weekly Recap

Ciara (Victoria Konefal) sent divorce papers from Africa which sent Ben (Robert Scott Wilson) on a tailspin. He turned up at the townhouse to cry on Claire’s (Isabel Durant) shoulder. They shared more than tears, though. They locked lips and shared a sultry kiss.

Kristen’s (Stacy Haiduk) reign of terror almost came to an end when Lani (Sal Stowers) arrested her. She fought back, though, and offered Chloe’s (Nadia Bjorlin) life for her freedom. She refused to give up Chloe’s location without a signed deal.

Belle (Martha Madison) was facing time for Jan’s (Heather Lindell) crimes. She and Shawn (Brandon Beemer) weren’t having it. They came up with a plan to stage a breakup so Shawn could coax the truth out of his stalker.

Kiss and Tell: How Days of our Lives Fans Feel About Ben and Claire

On Days of our Lives, Ben wept with grief when he thought the love of his life had been killed on their wedding day. He wept with relief when Ciara (Victoria Konefal) was returned to him. Then he wept with grief again when she didn’t remember their love, thought Ben was still a psycho, and took off for South Africa with Theo (Cameron Johnson).

Days of our Lives Polling

And that was all before Ciara sent him divorce papers. Ben (Robert Scott Wilson) nearly cried again. Instead, he kissed Claire (Isabel Durant). What over 3,000 fans had to say about that:

Betrayed Grade

Almost half of you, 46%, are incensed and see it as Ben betraying Ciara. Ben knows his wife isn’t mentally well. She’s lost three years of her life! How can he take anything she says seriously? And how can he move onto another woman without doing everything he can to make Ciara remember what they shared?

Unfair to Claire

A slightly smaller number 42%, see the betrayal as being Claire’s. She’s not exactly mentally stable either. She’s had quite a bit of guy trouble in the past, and if she falls for Ben – only to lose him to Claire down the line, who knows what might happen. Even if she doesn’t set another cabin on fire, that still doesn’t make it fair to a vulnerable young woman.

I Will Survive

Only 12% are on Team Ben Should Do Whatever He Needs To In Order To Get Through This Brutal Time. Basically, his life has been nothing but hell from the moment his mom died and his abusive dad got even more abusive. Sure he terrorized Abigail (Marci Miller). Sure he strangled a bunch of people. But he paid his debt to society and he got therapy and, basically, he deserves some good things.

Days of our Lives Recaps: Shocking Smooches and The Blame Game

The Days of our Lives recaps for May 17-21, 2021, features Kristen’s mask-erade finally coming to an end, a series of shocking smooches, and another villainess learning the error of her ways.

Days of our Lives Recaps Highlight

Kristen (Stacy Haiduk), disguised as Kate (Lauren Koslow), paid Xander (Paul Telfer) a visit and requested his help in eliminating Sami (Alison Sweeney), Lucas (Bryan Dattilo), Chloe (Nadia Bjorlin), and, possibly, the actual Kate. Xander balked at the idea.

The two are momentarily interrupted by a distraught Nicole (Arianne Zucker) who’s come to collect her wedding ring – which she carelessly left behind earlier that day. Kristen delighted in hearing that Nicole and Xander had engaged in a one-night stand, and she attempted to use that indiscretion as fodder for blackmail…but Xander wasn’t bothered in the least.

However, his tune changed when the Salem Inn’s manager attempted to oust him from the premises, and Kristen offered to pay his back rent…for services rendered.

Meanwhile, Sami and Lucas bickered over their predicament and her assumption that Nicole was unfaithful to Eric (Greg Vaughan). Their clash gradually gave way to a romantic clinch, and the couple wound up making love yet again.

Bad Rx

Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes) read Jack (Matthew Ashford) the riot act for inviting Gwen (Emily O’Brien) to stay at the Horton house. Afterward, Gwen confessed to lying about the role that Abigail (Marci Miller) played in her fall.

During a follow-up appointment with Dr. Snyder (Michael Lowry), Gwen received a sharp rebuke for failing to confess to her family that she miscarried prior to her second visit to the hospital.

Dr. Snyder then revealed that rather than report her dishonesty, he’s going to force Gwen into playing courier. When inspecting the goods that she’s expected to deliver, Gwen is shocked to learn they’re massive amounts of opioids.

Playing Catch Up

Allie (Lindsay Arnold) confided in Nicole her kisses with Chanel (Precious Way) and Tripp (Lucas Adams), while Chanel shared her own story with a supportive Lani (Sal Stowers)…. Nicole tracked Ava (Tamara Braun) down and tearfully recalled her affair with Xander.

Breaking The Bank

After trying, and failing, to find a way out of their prison, Sami and Lucas were pleased to see Xander’s familiar face – and then immediately gutted by his explanation for being there.

Sami offered to double whatever bounty Kristen placed on their heads, and after E.J. arranged for the funds to be deposited into his account, Xander acquiesced.

Blame Game

Jack tried to contact Abby and Chad (Billy Flynn) and relay Gwen’s confession, but his efforts were all in vain – his daughter had already left Salem. During a subsequent convo Chad admitted to his father-in-law that, despite his best efforts, he does blame Abby for Gwen’s miscarriage.

Deal or No Deal

Eli (Lamon Archey) tells Lani all about Kristen’s escape from Statesville and the laundry list of crimes that she’s committed since that time. By happenstance, Lani runs into Kristen while out on the town with the twins. Kristen is booked at the SPD, and she threatens Chloe’s safety should they attempt to send her back to prison.

Kiss And Make Up For Lost Time

Ben (Robert Scott Wilson) is left reeling after he receives signed divorce papers from Ciara (Victoria Konefal). He goes to Claire (Isabel Durant) for comfort, and she surprises them both by going in for a kiss.

Shawn (Brandon Beemer) outlined an audacious plan to Belle (Martha Madison) – convince Jan (Heather Lindell) that their marriage is over, lull her into a false sense of security, and get her to confess her role in Charlie’s (Mike Manning) murder.

The plot progresses swimmingly enough…until Dr. Snyder lets slip to Jan that Belle and Shawn are well aware of the fact that she awoke from a coma much earlier than initially assumed.

In the Meantime: What Will Happen On Days of our Lives While Abby Is Away?

Abby needs another of her mental health breaks on Days of our Lives. She is so upset with Chad having slept with Gwen, fathering her child, and driving Abby so crazy that she (thinks) she caused Gwen to miscarry by shoving her down the stairs.

Days of our Lives Polling

Abby (Marci Miller) needs a time out. But Chad – and Gwen – are staying in Salem. How will the mice play while the cat is away? We have the best guesses of almost 2,000 very experienced soap watchers.

Come To the Dark Side

Quite a lot of you, 74%, expect Chad (Billy Flynn) to bury himself in his work while he waits for his wife and children to return. And that means diving into DiMera business. Which means embracing his DiMera side. Chad has never gone as far as he could, which would have been quite a disappointment to Stefano (Joseph Mascolo). This is his chance to make his daddy proud. And show Abby that he’s got other interests outside of catering to her.

Love the One You’re With

Only 16% of the audience expects Chad to turn to Gwen (Emily O’Brien). It’s natural. They will both be mourning their child, which they did lose – even if Gwen isn’t telling the whole truth about when and how. Gwen might want to make a little replacement. And Chad might just be susceptible enough to agree. After all, he already gave in once when Gwen convinced Chad Gwen didn’t want Chad anymore.

Daddy’s Girl

A last-place 10% don’t care about Gwen and Chad. You’re more interested in Gwen’s relationship with Jack (Matthew Ashford). Jack feels bad that he missed all of Gwen’s childhood. (For the record, he was “dead” for a lot of Abigail’s, too.) He’s going to try to make it up to her. And maybe find a new favorite daughter.

Soap Hub Performer of the Week for Days of our Lives: Stacy Haiduk

Stacy Haiduk – this week’s recipient of Soap Hub’s Performer of the Week Award – is so good at being bad that it’s criminal.

Stacy Haiduk — Performer of the Week

Her Kristen has gotten into some seriously hot water. She’s pretty sure that’s she murdered Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow), and she knows for certain that she has Horton, a Brady, “and a slut,” that she needs taken care of.

And since she doesn’t want all that blood on her conscience, Kristen paid Xander (Paul Telfer), her former partner-in-crime a visit. Kristen leveled with Xander and offered ample compensation for ridding her of her…complications. But Xander played hardball.

He’s trying really hard to turn over a new leaf, and killing three people – and maybe a fourth if the job Kristen did on Kate turned out to be botched – wasn’t exactly in keeping with what a good man does.

Besides, Kristen doesn’t even like him. Why should he do her a favor? Well, said Kristen, her back stiffening, her eyes bulging, and her voice raised. If it hadn’t been for Xander and his uncle playing God with her life, perhaps she wouldn’t be in her current predicament. So, even though she does admittedly hate Xander’s, “lousy guts,” she’s willing to let him make amends…and make some easy money in the process.

More quibbling followed; the duo was interrupted not once, but twice. Finally, they came to an agreement, and Xander set off to commit his foul. deed.

Conversely, Kristen donned her go-to disguise – Susan Banks not so chic – and headed out the door…only to run smack dab into her former gal pal Lani Price (Sal Stowers). And just like that, the jig was up. Or was it?

Kristen agreed to quietly accompany Lani to the police station – after she’d been properly introduced to the twins that Lani birthed. And for just a split second, while Kristen sat passively in the interrogation room, it appeared that she might actually be contrite, and ready to take her accountability seriously.

But then Kristen dropped her bombshell. “I’m not going back to Statesville, because, if that were to happen, no one would ever see Chloe Lane again.”

To borrow, and then embellish a famous Mae West quotation, “When Haiduk gets to play virtuous Kristen, she’s very good…but when she gets to unleash Kristen’s inner She-Devil, she’s better.”

Soap Spoilers: May 24-28/May 31-June 4, 2021

Eric Braeden as Victor Newman

The Young and the Restless

Victor unzips his lips, Abby makes a confession, Billy and Lily take another big step, and Victoria forges a deeper connection with a surprising new man.

Young & Restless spoilers for Friday, May 21:

Kyle prepares to tell Jack he’s a grandfather, Ashland and Tara have it out, and Phyllis issues a warning.

Firing up old resentments once again, Victor prepares for battle against his daughter’s ex-husband, Billy. Will Victoria’s warning that Chance Comm’s not up to competing with her father prove to be prophetic?

Kyle toyed with the idea of leaving Jabot whilst under threat from Ashland before. Will this be his move when he makes a shocking decision? Or will his choice be a whole lot more personal in nature this time around?

Young & Restless spoilers week of May 24:

Young & Restless spoilers for Monday, May 24:

As Amanda gets into the nitty gritty of the case surrounding the death of her biological father, Victor provides her with vital information about her past. Having been tight-lipped about the matter up to now, we can hardly wait to see what The Mustache will reveal.

We’re not sure who would be brave — or stupid — enough to come for Phyllis’ offspring, but they’re bound to regret it when the volatile redhead defends Summer.

When Kyle finally decides to come clean with Jack, we can only assume that it will be the big day that the Abbott patriarch learns he’s a grandfather to wee Harrison Locke.

Young & Restless spoilers for Tuesday, May 25:

Working on the same side at long last, there’s no telling what sort of cutthroat plan will evolve when Victor strategizes with Adam.

Having put months of personal drama behind her, Sharon turns her attention to her older daughter when she credits Mariah for learning an important lesson.

With plenty of time to hone her next plot to perfection during her stay in the mental hospital, Chelsea is careful to keep up appearances with those who cross her path. And if there’s one thing we know about the schemer, she’s awfully good at putting on a show!

Young & Restless spoilers for Wednesday, May 26:

We knew Nick was going to be problematic from the minute Phyllis told him Kyle that had had an affair with Tara Locke. After all, Nick already had it in for his daughter’s ex-husband-turned-fiancé. Likewise, Summer was undoubtedly prepared for an onslaught of disapproval from her overprotective pop, which may be the reason she’s able to stand her ground with him when he states his case.

When Abby makes a confession to her dear friend Devon, will it involve her feelings about Chance, the unborn Baby Chancellor or something entirely different?

Given his fearsome reputation, it’s definitely a plot twist when Ashland warns Jack about his estranged wife, Tara. Could she be the one we should have been worried about all this time?

Young & Restless spoilers for Thursday, May 27:

Can passion be far behind when Victoria finds common ground with Ashland? As we eagerly wait to find out, look back on Victoria’s romantic past in our fabulous photo gallery. (It’s like her little black book, but with pictures!)

As his ex-wife connects with a powerful new man, Billy takes another big step in his relationship with Lily. Will he finally pop the question to his girlfriend? Or are they about to embark on a new chapter in the story of their dream home?

Young & Restless spoilers for Friday, May 28:

This one’s bound to be a heartbreaker! The day of Devon and Lily’s special event arrives as Neil’s family and friends gather to celebrate his memory.

Scott Clifton as Liam Spencer

The Bold and the Beautiful

The truth about Vinny’s death comes out when Liam finally cracks, and Carter and Shauna each find themselves in the hot seat over their alleged affair.

Bold & Beautiful spoilers for Friday, May 21:

Hope comes to a startling realization as Liam replays the night of Vinny’s death, and Wyatt referees between Thomas and Bill.

Having thought that Liam would have settled back into married life in the cabin idyll by now, Hope attempts to make sense of his seemingly irrational fear of losing everything. Will she end up coming any closer to the truth about what he’s hiding?

When Wyatt referees the escalating situation between Bill and Thomas, we have a feeling that it won’t involve suggesting that the guys chill out .

Bold & Beautiful spoilers for week of May 24:

Bold & Beautiful spoilers for Monday, May 24:

Thanks to Liam’s odd behavior, Hope’s instincts have been screaming that something is off with him — way off! Still, she has no idea what’s coming. How will she react when he drops his latest bombshell and reveals that he left an injured Vinny by the roadside to die?!

While Liam finally cracks and unburdens himself across town, thus proving our theory about the fatal flaw in Bill’s cover-up plan, back at Spencer Publications, Wyatt finally gets a clue about what’s upsetting Bill.

Jacqueline MacInnes Wood’s return date as Steffy Forrester revealed!

Bold & Beautiful spoilers for Tuesday, May 25:

With the memory of their shared passion still lingering between them, Quinn and Carter try and figure out how to navigate things at the office. Will their awkward behavior be a tip-off that they have become more than merely co-workers?

On the heels of Liam unburdening himself of his guilt, Hope unleashes her fury at Bill for putting him at risk. We still remember when she had a go at Dollar Bill with a golf club — Hope is not a Logan to be trifled with! (Revisit that unforgettable moment and more via our photo gallery of Bill’s life and times.)

Bold & Beautiful spoilers for Wednesday, May 26:

Never one to leave well enough alone, Zoe confronts Shauna about her affair with Carter. We fully expect more grilling about the jacket, not to mention the details of how they got together. Will the model find holes in Shauna’s story during the interrogation? While we’re on the subject, could the show be headed toward a “killer” twist in this storyline that no one would see coming?

Doing damage control in the wake of Liam’s confession, Bill makes a burdensome demand of his son and Hope. Assuming that he’ll ask them to keep the terrible secret of his cover-up of Vinny’s death, the question will become: Will Hope agree to do so in order to protect her husband and the life they only recently regained?

Bold & Beautiful spoilers for Thursday, May 27:

With their fate hanging in the balance, Hope and Liam profess their love to one another. So apparently, from here on, this is one trial that they’re going to withstand together.

Carter is a straight shooter if there ever was one, so it’s no surprise that the uber-honest COO of Forrester Creations gets hella nervous when his friend — and boss — Ridge asks about his hook-up with Shauna. Let’s not forget, it wasn’t so long ago that Ridge married the blonde bombshell in Vegas!

Bold & Beautiful spoilers for Friday, May 28:

Dollar Bill has never been a paragon of compassion, but even Wyatt is shocked when he shows no remorse at all in the matter of Vinny’s death. Watch for Flo’s fiancé to demand answers from his dear ol’ dad — but whether he gets any satisfaction from them is another matter altogether.

Jordan may be dead — and we’re talking real-world dead, not “dead-but-Rolf-has-her-somewhere” dead — but she’s about to visit Ben.

Steve and Kayla are all set to have a romantic evening until someone interrupts. (How very dare! Who would have the nerve?)

Days of Our Lives spoilers for Tuesday, May 25:

What’s got Ben frantically searching for Claire? And speaking of searching, Brady and Philip’s hunt for Chloe may rely on them getting Kristen to spill the beans. (Good luck with that, fellas!)

When Belle tries to strike a bargain with Jan, what will she use as leverage?

Days of Our Lives spoilers for Wednesday, May 26:

Apparently, they’re having a BOGO sale at the hostage shop. How else to explain that Jan intends to take one hostage, but winds up with two instead?

Allie could be put in an awkward position when she’s grilled by mom Sami… who clearly wants to get the goods on Nicole!

Gwen and Xander cross paths… which sounds to us like the first step toward them forming a deliciously wicked scheme team.
