Spoilers/Recaps: July 26-30, 2021

 


The Young and the Restless

Phyllis gets a little help as she plays hardball with Summer’s enemies, Jack finds himself between a rock and a hard place, and concerns about Mariah continue to mount.

Hot Topic: Read our review of what’s working — and what’s not — in Genoa City, then let us know if you agree.

Week of July 26:

Monday, July 26:

Tara and Sally don’t seem to care for each other much, but they’ve definitely formed an alliance. Unfortunately for them, two people with far more experience in scheming — Billy and Phyllis — are about to form an alliance of their own. Something tells us the young ladies could be in way over their heads (this despite Sally’s particularly colorful past, as illustrated here).

Ashland’s health has been on the decline in recent weeks, and there’s no sign of it improving. So when Victoria presents her new beau with a new challenge, will he prove up to it?

Adam gave an inch when he allowed Chelsea to take Connor to see her convalescing mother. But if she thinks he’ll be giving her a mile, she’s got another thing coming. Today, he draws a line in the sand where his ex is concerned.

Tuesday, July 27:

Even as rumors continue to circulate regarding Hunter King’s future with the soap, alter ego Summer is on hand to spend a little time with grandparents Nikki and Victor when they arrive in Milan. Might they be able to convince her to come back to Genoa City?

When Kyle once again jumps to Tara’s defense, all we can do is wonder what she’s done this time that requires him to don his white knight uniform.

Jack has repeatedly told everyone — including himself — that he’s going to take things slowly where Sally’s concerned. But we also know the guy tends to give away his heart far too easily. Is that what’s happening when he presents the younger woman with a surprise?

Wednesday, July 28:

Mariah’s been AWOL for a while now, and although those she left behind have been doing their best to assuage their own fears, Devon and Abby can’t help worrying about the missing mom-to-be. And from the looks of this teaser video, they are right to be concerned!

Last week, Imani made it pretty clear that she’s interested in Nate… and while he didn’t necessarily pick up on that fact, Elena did. Which leaves us wondering what it means that today, the handsome doctor is leaving poor Elena hanging!

Sally may think she knows how the game is played, but Phyllis is in an entirely different league. When Summer’s mom decides to play hardball with the Los Angeles transplant, Sally may find out the hard way why locals know better than to mess with Phyllis! Could the nemeses soon be added to our countdown our soaps’ all-time greatest feuds?

Thursday, July 29:

Amanda and Devon have been dating for a while now, but we’ve been a little uncertain as to just how committed they really are to one another. That being the case, fans of the couple will be pleased to hear that they’re about to solidify their relationship. Looks like we’re going to have to update our photo gallery of Devon’s life and loves!

When Jack is put in the position of making a difficult decision, will it involve his relationship with Sally or perhaps something on the business front?

Friday, July 30:

Sharon welcomes home Rey, whom you’ll recall was assigned to escort Chelsea to her mother’s place.

Chloe is now working with Adam at Newman Media, which is a situation we never really imagined coming to pass. Should the boss be worried that his new hire is strategizing with his ex, Chelsea? Well of course he should! But given that it’s Adam we’re talking about, something tells us he might just manage to stay a step or two ahead of the women…

When Phyllis chases down a lead, will it have to do with Sally… Tara… or both? And might it finally give the miffed mom what she needs to turn the tables and bring daughter Summer back to Genoa City? Or could her discovery set in motion the upcoming exit of Michael Mealor’s Kyle?


 

The Bold and the Beautiful

Paris gets better acquainted with the Forrester family (including their newest member), Wyatt wants to know exactly what’s going on with his mother, and it looks as if Quinn and Carter may be on the verge of figuring out whether they were simply a fling or something more.

Celebrate the anniversary of Scott Clifton’s debut as Liam Spencer by listening in as the actor cracks open his backstage diary to reveal his favorite scenes — from the slap that caught him off guard to the would-be love interest he kinda sorta tanked —

The Bold and the Beautiful — The Week Ahead

Thankful for the generosity Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Finn (Tanner Novlan) showed to her, Paris Buckingham (Diamond White) can’t wait to share her good fortune with Zende Forrester Dominguez (Delon de Metz). She excitedly divulges information about her new digs with him. Afterward, the two must make a decision regarding their status as a couple. Are we together or are we just friends? The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers tease this will be an emotional moment for them.

Before the nuptials, Steffy and Finn have a few things to address. Namely, the new information Steffy received makes her outlook on Finn change. Will this be a welcome change for the couple, or is this an indication of rough waters ahead? Maybe it can all be cleared up when Finn’s dad stops by for a visit before the wedding. Meeting Finn’s family is sure to give Steffy more clarity on the type of person he truly is.

Quinn Fuller (Rena Sofer) and Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) aren’t giving up what makes them happy. In fact, instead of listening to their instincts, they jumped into bed together once more for a fun night of passion. Even though Carter has an agreement with Eric Forrester (John McCook) he is struggling to make sense of his feelings for Quinn. He wants to be with her, but he also wants to keep his job. What is he to do?

The Bold and the Beautiful Weekly Recap

Carter and Quinn took to his couch and his bed, and everywhere else in his apartment. Their lovefest came to an abrupt end when Eric’s video call popped up. Quinn’s dress was in the background and the couple was almost caught. They decided to never see each other again. That didn’t last long. Carter saved Quinn’s jewelry line and called her for another meet-up.

Paris visited Steffy at home to go over some business. The meeting turned personal and Steffy and Finn were heartbroken to hear Paris was close to homelessness. She had moved out of Zoe Buckingham’s (Kiara Barnes) apartment and was about to check into a hotel. They offered to let Paris move into the spare room.

Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) made a huge play for Steffy’s job. She set up a photoshoot and showed Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) the press release naming her and Ridge co-CEOs. He told her to call and have it corrected. Brooke hinted she would be better at the job. Wouldn’t it be nice to play Stephanie and Eric? Ridge was not convinced.

Wednesday, July 21:

Chase tells Willow he can’t be her husband, Spencer tries to play matchmaker with Britt and his father, and Sasha confides in Michael.

Poor Chase has been living the lyrics from the Friends theme in that it hasn’t been his day, his month or even his year. So it’s probably not surprising that he takes his frustrations out on wife Willow. But how will she react?

Will Jordan be able to provide Nikolas with the answers he seeks?

Stella has a confrontation with Shawn, while Portia takes Terry into her confidence.

Thursday, July 22:

Jordan finds Portia kissing Curtis, Brando chooses Sasha, and Sam and Dante discuss their relationship.

Determined to reclaim his life, Chase pushes himself — hard! — during his physical therapy session.

Anna catches Dante up on her latest findings. Could she have come to the same conclusion that we did — that a much-missed General Hospital spinoff is ripe for a reboot. Here’s how we’d pull it off.

Valentin has been nothing but sweet ever since Brook Lynn had the baby, so it’s easy to see why she might be feeling guilty about the big ol’ secret she’s keeping from him.

In need of someone to confide in, Elizabeth turns to her former father-in-law, Scott. (Anyone else willing to bet it’s not a coincidence that he’s an attorney?)

The Metro Court pool is the place to be these days, so it’s not surprising that it’s also where Shawn and Curtis wind up reconnecting.

Will Portia agree with Curtis that they should be honest with Trina about their past.

Thursday, July 29:

What puts Dante and Anna on opposite sides of their confrontation?

Olivia loves nothing more than dispensing advice, so she’s happy to offer some to Brook Lynn.

Given his involvement in what went down during Hayden’s final days in Port Charles, it’s understandable that Nikolas bristles when he finds out Sam is trying to track down his former wife’s shooter. Meanwhile, Trina suggests that Spencer should throw a party at Wyndemere. (Clearly, she’s way too young to remember some of the past fetes held there… perhaps she should Google the words “Bacchanalia Ball.”)

Friday, July 30:

It’s getting harder and harder for Michael and Willow to keep their relationship under wraps. How long before their secret blows up in their face? Meanwhile, Chase continues to push himself in the hopes of getting his life back on track.

Brook Lynn can’t help being wary of Austin, the newest offshoot of the Quartermaine clan. If he has any trouble figuring out how to fit in, maybe this diagram of the family tree will help.

When Spencer attempts to manipulate Ava, will he be successful or might he have met his match?

Shawn is more determined than ever to find out the truth about who shot Hayden.

Meanwhile, Abe suggests that perhaps Theo should put on the brakes where his marriage plans are concerned. And as the bride is preparing for her big moment, she winds up getting into a fight with Claire, who clearly thinks Ciara is about to make a huge mistake!

How will Abe and Lani react to Paulina’s latest news? (Given that her last “surprise” went over like the proverbial lead balloon, here’s hoping this time she’s got something a little less “tear-the-fabric-of-Salem-apart” in mind.
