Soap Spoilers: August 23-27-August 30-September 3, 2021

 


The Young and the Restless

Nikki and Victor end up on the outs, Sally’s back to doing what she does best — not designing, scheming! — and the drama surrounding Mariah’s mysterious disappearance dials up another notch when there’s a break in the case that leaves Sharon hungry for justice on her daughter’s behalf.

Friday, August 20:

Adam reaches out to an emotional Sharon, Tessa feels Mariah’s pain, and Chloe confronts Sally and Adam!

Well, the answer the burning question in solving The Case of the Missing Mariah takes her increasingly desperate loved ones to the Newman ranch, where Victor agrees to use his resources to help find the surrogate. Couldn’t/Shouldn’t Abby have gotten him involved ages ago?

Meanwhile, it looks like Devon is making his own moves to find Mariah when he asks Denise Tolliver for a favor. He could be reaching out to her for an entirely unrelated matter, but our money’s on him wanting to track down the woman who’s carrying his biological child.

Another day, another cautionary tale. When Kevin and Chloe give Sally a warning, will they be concerned that she’s putting a target on the fashion start-up by provoking Phyllis… or advising her to watch her step with someone else — perhaps Adam?!


 

Week of August 23:

Coming up this week on Young & Restless: Things take a terrifying turn for Mariah, Victor unearths dirt on Ashland, Sally plots and Lily gets that old familiar feeling!

Monday, August 23:

It’s mogul vs. mogul when Victor settles unfinished business with Ashland Locke. Given that their last interaction had The Mustache accusing his daughter’s fiancé of faking a terminal illness in order to gain control of his company, things can only get better. Right?!

When Nikki strikes a nerve with Victoria, will they be discussing the CEO’s upcoming wedding? Might the always intuitive and infinitely experienced mama bear hit too close to home regarding Ashland’s hidden agenda?

It’s not the first time, and it certainly isn’t likely to be the last, when Lily discovers that Billy has been keeping a secret from her. Something tells us it will have to do with Victoria. Doesn’t it always?

Tuesday, August 24:

Having moved on from interrogating perhaps the least likely suspect in Mariah’s disappearance — Adam — Rey uncovers a clue regarding his captive stepdaughter’s whereabouts.

Words of wisdom! When Devon and Nate point Moses in the right direction, here’s hoping it involves a how-to course in dealing with daughters with deadly dads… because Nick’s kinda scary when he’s in protective-pop mode.

The “heart” returns to Genoa City, when Traci turns up and shares a new project with Jack. Please, can that project be finding love interests for them both? Traci’s heart is too big not to have someone special in it, and Jack’s been flying solo for way too long.

Wednesday, August 25:

We have to wonder if Ashland and Victoria’s planned nuptials will be the topic of discussion when Victor and Nikki share a difference of opinion. Will the lady of the manor manage to make her stubborn hubby see her point of view?

It’s bound to throw fuel on the vengeful fire when Sally spies on Jack and Phyllis, the woman she blames for making her life miserable from the moment she set foot in Genoa City. But how can Sally possibly strike back?

Are we about to learn the identity of Mariah’s kidnapper at long last when her situation takes an unexpected turn?

Thursday, August 26:

What mystery can’t these two great minds solve? And what insights will be triggered when Devon shares his suspicions with his former mentor, Victor?

When Sharon decides that she wants justice for Mariah, will she turn to her detective husband Rey, or will she seek help from ex-husband Adam, who knows how to get things done in, ahem, other ways?

It sounds like there will be a break in the Mariah case when cop shop co-workers Rey and Kevin connect the dots. If only one beloved crime-fighter wasn’t going to be missing from the investigation.

Friday, August 27:

Oh… this can’t be good, can it? Abby takes matters into her own hands — which leaves us to wonder if this plot twist will, in fact, make “matters” a whole lot worse! Stand down, Abby! Stand down!

When Devon makes a shocking discovery, we have fingers and toes crossed that it involves finding Poor Pregnant Mariah, who has been holed up in that room talking to Bowie for what feels like weeks now! Give a girl a break!


 

The Bold and the Beautiful

Sheila reveals yet another explosive secret — does she know any other kind?!? — Finn makes the mother of all marital blunders, and Eric knocks Ridge and Brooke right off their high horses. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg...

Friday, August 20:

Jack incurs Sheila’s wrath when he tries to run her out of town, and Eric senses something’s off with Quinn.

Eric, Quinn and Carter start a new chapter. Hmm… After the unforeseen complication that threw a wrench into this situation earlier in the week, we hope this new beginning is a sign that they’ll be able to put the past behind them and move forward without rancor. (Oh, who are we kidding? We love rancor!)

When Jack approaches Sheila with a dire warning, it’s safe to assume that he’ll put her on notice about wreaking havoc in Finn’s life. We’re betting the protective pop will stop at nothing — even tangling with the she-devil — to look out for the son he raised as his own. The question is, will Sheila heed his words… or cackle in his face?

Week of August 23:

Monday, August 23:

No one is better at, ahem, fulfilling their destiny than Ridge and Brooke. But how will they do so today when they get romantic? Trail of rose petals leading to the bed? Champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries? Or just a good old declaration of love? (Hey, you can never say it enough!)

How many sleeves does Sheila have? Because apparently, she has another trick up one; a bombshell secret that she exposes in order to blackmail Jack. Welcome to the hot seat, buddy!

Tuesday, August 24:

If all you have to worry about when you leave the house is whether you’ve left the oven on, consider yourself lucky… Steffy has to worry about psycho Sheila showing up while she’s away on business with Hope. As if Steffy wasn’t losing enough sleep as the mother of a newborn!

Word to the wise, Paris: If you are thinking of chiming in on Steffy’s concerns… erm, don’t. How come? Let’s look at how the audience is responding to your butting in.

Will it be intriguing when Eric shares a long-hidden truth with Quinn, will it be that he kinda-sorta secretly likes her manipulative side? That maybe, just maybe, it even reminds him a little bit of his late wife, Stephanie, who never met a plot she wouldn’t hatch?

Wednesday, August 25:

In what sounds like the equivalent of ending an engagement with the return of the ring, Carter informs Brooke and Ridge that he’s given Eric back his portrait of Quinn. But he’s still holding on to those memories, dang it!

Fans are gonna have another field day with this — especially after what they’ve already been calling Finn. The doc is enraged, and blindsided, by Jack’s proposal regarding Sheila.

Thursday, August 26:

When Ridge and Brooke express outrage about Quinn, Eric claps back. Please, please, please let him remind them of the time they carried on behind his back during his own marriage to Brooke.

Ack! It’s a nightmare come to life! As anyone would, Steffy flips right the hell out when she finds Sheila holding baby Hayes! Finn, ol’ pal, we’re gonna guess the honeymoon is ending in three, two…

Friday, August 27:

Kaboom! Steffy puts Finn on blast for betraying her trust — and only what, days after he promised to love, honor and cherish her? What part of, “Honey, your mother has tried to murder half my family at one time or another!” does he not understand?

Short of undergoing enough plastic surgery to turn herself into someone altogether different — which she’s been known to do — we can’t imagine how Sheila thinks she’s going to be able to maneuver her way out of her current mess with Steffy. But she does indeed think she’s going to, and takes steps to make it happen...

Chase and Willow share a bittersweet moment.

For a while now, we’ve wondered exactly what’s going on between Anna and Valentin. Are they becoming more than friends? Thankfully, Martin tries to get answers to that very same question!

Feelings are like treasures, and Trina tries hard to keep hers buried. But gal pal Joss knows better than to accept what she sees on the surface!

Week of August 23:

As the truth about Drew continues to unfold, Sam hopes that Anna might be able to lend a helping hand.

Ruh-roh… it looks as if someone Nina knows is about to visit Nixon Falls. And let’s face it, if she recognizes the visitor, there’s a good chance that person would also notice that “Mike” bears a striking resemblance to Sonny!

Ned’s skills as a negotiator are about to be tested as he attempts to strike a bargain with Austin.

Meanwhile, Jason sits down for a chat with future stepdaughter Joss about the increasingly-obvious tension between her parents.

Pop the champagne, because Britt and Obrecht are celebrating!

Friday, August 27:

When Nina is in need of help, who’s she gonna call? (We’re betting it won’t be the Ghostbusters, although Mike is technically one of the living dead… )

EJ and Xander, working together? That makes a weird kind of sense, given how many plots they’ve cooked up individually. When they put their heads together, we can’t help but feel sorry for the people of Salem!

Julie’s always considered herself a very good judge of character, so it’s probably not surprising that she’s become suspicious of Gwen.

Friday, September 3:

Now that they’re once again man and wife, it’s time for Ben and Ciara to do what comes naturally. No, not that silly… go on a honeymoon! Where we presume they’ll also do that first thing that came to your mind!




Twenty-five years after the murder of Another World's Frankie Frame (Alice Barrett), we look back at the ill-advised plot twist that may have put a beloved soap in the grave along with its heroine.
