The Young and the Restless
Nick finds himself at loose ends, Ashley and Victor reach a new understanding, Victoria and Adam are put in an usual position (by an even unlikelier person!), and Abby is headed for a revelation: Just because Chance is home doesn’t mean that everything is going to go right back to normal. Whatever “normal” even means in Genoa City!
Friday, December 3:
Billy hatches a plan against Victor and Adam and Chance meets his son for the first time.
When Victor puts the pressure on his adversaries, we’re guessing it’s all about who will end up with Chance Comm — or what’s left of it, anyway. Will Newman Media prevail or will the spoils go to Victoria and Ashland, who threw their hat in the ring by offering to keep Lily on as CEO?
In a move that’s hardly shocking if you know her, Jill starts a bidding war. Let the vultures picking over the carcass of Chancellor Communications pay top dollar for the privilege of calling it their own!
Answering our question from above, Lily takes on a new role. Will the change in her fortunes cause trouble between her and Billy, who managed to put everything they’d built at risk on what amounted to his latest gamble?
Week of December 6:
Y&R Restless Rant: Hot topics include Billy’s big plan for revenge on Adam putting us right back where we don’t want to be, Chance’s upcoming struggles, and Sally not being used.
Monday, December 6:
You would think that at this point Victor wouldn’t have to caution Victoria about protecting Billy. But the Mustache knows all too well what a soft spot his daughter’s always had for her favorite ex-husband.
Given Nick’s efforts to uncover the truth about his then-future brother-in-law — not exactly the Welcome to the Family present anyone wants! — it makes sense that he would want to clear with air with Ashland. Question is, is that even possible at this point?
Since Nikki pulls out all the stops for Chance’s homecoming, it’s a safe bet that her stepson-in-law will be returning to a three-ring circus. A super classy and tasteful one, though; let’s be real.
Tuesday, December 7:
Their daughter’s recent tsunami of grief and relief challenged the bond between Victor and Ashley like nothing has since Adam threw on a dress and scared his her into a miscarriage. But it’s a new era and a new day, one that’s perfect for the former marrieds to agree on a fresh game plan.
Unlike his grandma Jill, Chance struggles with being the center of attention. Suddenly, his past travails — and there were a lot of ’em — seem easy-peasy by comparison.
With Victoria in charge of the company and even Adam in Victor’s good graces, Nick struggles with feeling like an outsider with his family. Maybe he’ll reevaluate the way that he put them first — to the point that he lost Phyllis?
Wednesday, December 8:
When Jack and Phyllis agree to a fresh start, it can only mean one of two things: They’ve decided that now and forever they reside in the friend zone… or they owe it to themselves to find out whether if they just gave it one more try, they could actually make it as a couple.
Put away your flammables, because sparks are sure to fly when Adam enlists Sally’s help. These two can’t seem to help it. Whether or not they’re flirting, there they are — sparks. If only the show would pull the trigger and pair her with [Spoiler], we’d have ourselves a red-hot love triangle — and then some.
Given how deeply his feelings run for Lily, Billy probably means it when he makes her a promise. Mind you, that doesn’t necessarily mean that he can keep it!
Thursday, December 9:
Game on! When Victor challenges Adam and Victoria, is he risking setting off a new round of sibling rivalry? Or could the gauntlet he throws actually bring the usual adversaries closer together?
Tessa and Noah take on a new project together. Hope it’s designing tracking earrings for Mariah, ’cause that whole time she was kidnapped was stressful!
Pass the knife, ’cause the tension is sure to be thick enough to cut when Lily does her best to keep up appearances with Victoria. On second thought, forget the knife; bring us the chainsaw.
Friday, December 10:
As Nick and Phyllis discuss their regrets, will they realize that they’ve made a hasty mistake in throwing in the towel on their relationship? Or, as sorry as they are that it didn’t work out, will they shake hands and part anew, as friends?
As happy as he is to be with Abby and their son, Chance still faces a big obstacle: adjusting to civilian life. Could he actually come to miss the rush of being in danger, the high of doing something for the greater good?
As Devon opens up to Amanda about Dominic, marvel at how well this latest chapter of his life fits in with the unpredictable twists and turns it’s taken in the past.
Victor is used to doling out vengeance like it was Tic-Tacs, but the shoe could be on the other foot if two of the people whose hit lists he tops put their heads together.
The Bold and the Beautiful
As Sheila’s irritation with Deacon turns to jealousy, someone is surely going to want to duck and cover. Meanwhile, as the debate surrounding Hope’s desire to have her father in her life intensifies, Liam gets advice from a questionable source, and Thomas and Steffy align themselves with Ridge. Find out who is about to return to Los Angeles and find herself in the midst of a full-blown family feud.
Friday, December 3:
Brooke tells Deacon he’s welcome in their home, just as Ridge throws Hope out of the cabin. Plus, Steffy and Thomas discuss Finn, and Finn thanks Sheila, who presses for a relationship.
Ah, yes — just as we predicted, Finn struggles with his commitment to Steffy and the pull that he feels toward Sheila. Do we really need to remind him of her long, long list of misdeeds to convince him to keep his distance from the soap-hopping maniac?
As Ridge reaches his breaking point, Brooke makes a decision. Has “destiny” been thwarted by Deacon’s return to the mix? If so, at least the dressmaker won’t have to look too long or too hard to find a new love to distract him — one is on the way.
Week of December 6:
Monday, December 6:
How much weight can this particular “Bridge” withstand? Something tells us we’re about to find out, as Ridge stuns Brooke with news of his ultimatum to Hope.
Deacon really needs to find himself a more supportive confidante, ’cause we suspect there will be mockery, and plenty of it, when he announces his vision for the future to an incredulous Sheila.
On a poignant anniversary, B&B's Denise Richards (Shauna Fulton) remembers a loved one lost: “It doesn’t get easier living without you.”
Tuesday, December 7:
She might have gotten a chuckle out of Deacon’s little fantasy in the beginning, but mirth turns to plain old-fashioned irritation as Sheila grows frustrated with her roommate’s fixation on Brooke. Is Deacon inadvertently painting a target on the back of the ex that he never quite got over?
It’s time to test Brooke and Ridge’s old theory that they’re the couple who can “get though anything together” when they hit a significant impasse in their relationship. After moving past their differences over Thomas, has “Bridge” arrived at yet another crossroads, one that will ultimately lead them down separate paths?
Wednesday, December 8:
As battle lines are drawn, Steffy and Thomas rally around Ridge, reminding him of their own family bonds. Despite what Brooke might think, it’s not all about her, her, her.
We’re not sure how objective he can be, given his own history with Deacon, but it will be interesting to see what advice Dollar Bill will have to offer Liam when he counsels his son on his stressful dilemma involving Hope’s father.
Thursday, December 9:
When Hope and Deacon put Brooke on the spot, will they get the response for which they’re hoping? We predict that Ridge’s wife will shed one of her trademark single-eye tears. The only question in our minds is, will it be a happy one… or a sad one?
When Ridge, Thomas and Steffy get emotional discussing the past, present and future, it sure sounds like the stage is being set for the return of someone significant to their family. Wanna bet that someone’s name rhymes with “sailor”?
Friday, December 10:
Keeping up with the Joneses… or, in this case, the Sharpes and Logans. When Sheila gets jealous of Deacon’s progress with Hope and Brooke, she will undoubtedly be compelled to try something radical in an effort to further her relationship with Finn and Hayes. It goes without saying that this spells danger for any unlucky person who gets in her way. Perhaps she’ll have to go so far as to recruit the one man Kimberlin Brown says ever loved her psycho character unconditionally.
After missing scads of drama involving her offspring in recent years, from Thomas’ brain tumor to Steffy’s wedding, Taylor returns to Los Angeles, where she and Steffy share a joyous reunion.
As you spend time with your relatives this holiday season, consider yourself lucky: Your family tree could have branches as tangled as those of the Logan sisters.

It takes a lot to shake up Sonny, so who is on the other end of the disturbing phone call he receives?

Days of Our Lives
Someone comes across a horrific scene, as one man attempts to rescue Sami — plus, a surprise visitor returns to Salem and two people are caught in the act!
Week of December 6:
Days Soapbox: Dishing Lucas’ delayed rescue, the Carvers emotional (and adorable) week, and Philip’s downward spiral.
Next week on Days of Our Lives, Sami is back in Salem and in for a huge shock when she races to reunite with EJ!
Monday, December 6:
Things take a gory turn when Chloe makes a discovery while strolling along the bank of the river.
Kristen’s missing (again) and Rafe has questions, so it’s time to round up the usual suspects. First on his list of folks to grill? Xander!
Gabi and Jake think they’re a heck of a team, but when they go to Victor with a proposal, will he see them the same way?
Roman and Kate are going to take the latest version of their romance out for a spin. Will they find that they’ve still got it?
Tuesday, December 7:
Roman and Kate will no doubt be thrilled by the return of Rex. Personally, we’re hoping that along with paying them a visit, he also starts cluing Xander in to what really went down when Sarah “left town.”
Chad’s growing increasingly frustrated with his brother, EJ. When he shares his feelings with Abigail, will she offer any solutions?
Jake and Gabi prove they’re ready to gamble by raising the stakes with Victor.

It’s Lucas to the rescue — or at least it will be if his plan to save Sami goes down the way he hopes it will!
Fresh off his questioning of Xander, Rafe sits down with Chad and Abigail to see what they might know about Kristen and her whereabouts. (Has anyone checked the tunnels beneath the DiMera mansion in general and that wine room where everyone hides out/holds people hostage in particular?)
When EJ swings by for a visit, Ava’s hackles immediately go up. Is she right to think he’s not just there for a casual chat?
It’s easy to forget, but Kate’s a woman with what one might politely call a “checkered past.” So it makes sense that she and Paulina would bond when the latter needs someone with whom to discuss mistakes she’s made.

Shawn’s got a puzzle to solve and, fortunately for him, Belle’s really good at fitting pieces together!
Friday, December 10:

The latest evidence to implicate Brady in Philip’s disappearance definitely doesn’t look good. Even Shawn is starting to have his doubts about what really went down! Worse, Brady finds out that Chloe might not be in his corner as she has some serious doubts of her own. And how will Victor and Kate react upon discovering the latest news regarding their son?
Week of December 13:
Monday, December 13:
Kate’s still reeling from recent revelations regarding Philip’s apparent fate… and she knows exactly who to blame. Expect the miffed mama to be loaded for bear when she calls out Chloe and Brady!
Tuesday, December 14:
The more things change, the more they stay the same. So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that when Sami and Nicole cross paths, things quickly devolve to the point that the proverbial fur begins to fly.
Wednesday, December 15:
You won’t want to miss the terrifying showdown between Marlena and what might well be called the forces of good as represented by John, Ben and Shawn!
Nicole and Rafe have been trying to define their relationship for a while now, and we’re going to guess that this week they’re on the skids. Why do we say that? Well, generally speaking, women who are happy and in love don’t slap the guys they’re digging!
Thursday, December 16:
Victor and Kate are drawn together as they have to make an incredibly difficult decision.
Friday, December 17:
Rex and Xander’s conversation results in the former giving the latter a bit of downright shocking information. The big question? What will Xander do with his newfound knowledge!
