Weekly Soap Spoilers: April 4-8, 2022

 

The Young and the Restless

The Newmans circle the wagons around Victoria. But wounded though she may be, Ashland’s wronged wife still has a lotta fight left in her — a fact that he may be about to learn the hard way! In other developments, Ashley’s back in Genoa City and armed with truth bombs, Elena’s best-laid plan for Nate goes awry, and the stage is set for Phyllis and Diane to go at it anew.

Friday, April 1:

Diane wants Jack’s help, Allie and Jack share anecdotes, and Lauren and Phyllis help each other out.

Jack connects the dots. Which have to include that the Genoa City PD and coroner are completely inept since they all declared Diane really, most sincerely dead.

When Phyllis commiserates with Lauren, the topic at hand can only be the challenges of loving men as difficult and complicated as Jack and Michael, wouldn’t you think?

Week of April 4:

Y&R Restless Rant! Hot topics: How Victor’s latest move will send Victoria back to Ashland, the biggest holes in Diane’s story, Noah, Chance and more.

How will Rey exit Young & Restless… and what — or who — is next for Sharon!

Monday, April 4:

Sally had better watch her back… all signs point to a ‘Chadam’ reunion.

Ashland stands his ground. But that may be easier said than done, considering how shaky the ground he’s on is!

Sharon, are you paying attention? ’Cause you may want to as Chelsea bonds with the object of her newfound fixation, Rey.

When Elena’s plans for Nate hit a detour, will she be able to pivot in such a way that they remain on track?

Tuesday, April 5:

Ha — if Ashland thought that he was going to get away scot-free, he’s got another think coming. Today, Victor disrupts his conniving son-in-law’s escape plan and, dare we hope, lowers the boom.

This oughta be fun. When Adam and Sally plot their next move, what will they come up with? The mind boggles at the endless possibilities.

If you can’t confide in the ex-wife who cheated on you with your brother, who can you confide in, right? So it only makes sense that Jack would share a secret with Phyllis.

Wednesday, April 6:

Bringing to bear a new perspective, Ashley shares her concerns about family ties with the Abbotts.

Did anyone think that she wouldn’t? Phyllis challenges Diane’s agenda, thus jump-starting one of the soap’s longer-running rivalries.

Thursday, April 7:

It’s one thing to come up with a plan but quite another to get Big Daddy’s approval. Adam is reminded of this when Victor put the brakes on his latest scheme.

What’s the most important thing to any relationship? Communication, communication, communication! So it seems like a very good sign for Chance and Abby when he opens up to his wife.

They’ve fought like cats and dogs in the past, but when the chips are down, Nick and Victoria are always there for one another. Take today, for instance, when he does his best to help his sister when she needs him most.

Friday, April 8:

When Victor makes a promise to Nikki, we have a feeling it will be something along the lines of, “My darling, there is no way in hell I will let Ashland Locke do any further damage to our family, our company or especially our daughter.”

What’s Billy up to now? Since Lily gives her significant other a warning, it must be something — perhaps having to do with going after Ashland anew?

Everyone is worried about Victoria and her broken heart. But even at her lowest point, she’s no pushover. Watch the Newman heiress prove her mettle when she plays hardball.

 

The Bold and the Beautiful

The super-villain is thrown into the tizzy of all tizzies as her recent machinations come ever closer to becoming common knowledge. Will Deacon be able to talk her off of a metaphorical ledge? Will Taylor come to regret getting mixed up anew with her onetime “killer”?

Hot Topic: Bold & Beautiful pulled the ultimate fake-out, and seems to be heading to the last place anyone really wants it to…

Friday, April 1:

Sheila aims a gun at Steffy after shooting Finn dead. Ridge has news for Taylor.

Unbeknownst to Sheila, her troubles go from bad to worse when Ridge warns Taylor to keep her distance from the madwoman. Doesn’t he realize they’re BFFs?

When Sheila becomes enraged at Steffy after learning that Finn knows the truth about her despicable deed, it can only end in an attack of some kind. Whether it’s verbal or physical is all that remains to be seen. Hide the weaponry!

Week of April 4:

Monday, April 4:

Dollar Bill doles out advice to Liam about having families with Steffy and Hope. We can only imagine what sage wisdom he’ll have to impart on the subject of having feelings for two women who are related… ’cause we’re not sure he has that one figured out yet!

Thomas becomes increasingly anxious as he listens to Ridge and Taylor discuss Sheila’s mental health. Will he go off to confront her and find his sister in peril?!?

Tuesday, April 5:

Deacon freaks when he comes across an unexpected situation at Il Giardino. Gee, do you suppose that could have something to do with the Sheila/Steffy showdown that began last week? Or is the restaurant just running short on bread sticks?

Fearing her dirty deed will come to light and she’ll be exposed as the outside force that broke up “Bridge,” Sheila begins to unspool. Because her behavior up until now has been that of a totally spooled person, sure.

Wednesday, April 6:

Deacon does his best to comfort a frantic Sheila. But can anything calm down the madwoman when she’s so worked up about the likelihood of everyone discovering the havoc that she’s wrought? Maybe a bread stick would help?

Brooke’s intuition shifts to overdrive when she reveals to Hope and Liam that she knows an external force is at work. If you were considering starting a drinking game in which you did a shot every time she mentioned an external force, might we suggest that you… um, not do that?

Thursday, April 7:

It’s hard out there for a psycho. Today, Sheila becomes upset when Li rebuffs her notion of being a mother to Finn. Apparently, it didn’t occur to the maniac that her history of violence and deceit would make her an undesirable parental figure.

When Ridge, Taylor, Thomas and Steffy rally together as a family, it can only be against Sheila, wouldn’t you think? The question is, with her fuse already burned down to next to nothing, how will she react if the walls close in any tighter around her?

Friday, April 8:

Wasn’t dying twice enough, Taylor? Clearly not, because she tempts fate by trying to diffuse the tension between Li and Sheila. The shrink might as well try to make besties of Brooke and Quinn!

Intriguing: Ridge makes a heartbreaking request of Steffy. What ever could that be?

 

General Hospital

There are several reasons to celebrate, although not everyone will be in a party mood. Meanwhile, Michael and Willow run into another problem, Victor tries convincing Laura they should join forces, and Felicia joins Anna in going undercover!

Week of March 28:

Monday, March 28:

Trina is arrested, Nikolas helps Esme with a place to stay, and Harmony is surprisingly familiar with Alexis’ house.

TJ and Molly are worried, but Alexis is somewhat frustrated by their concern.

Nikolas has continued to support Esme — even as doing so has pushed his friends away. But will he buy what she’s trying to sell today?

Scott is there when Nina needs advice.

Some things, a person just has to handle themselves. But what important case does Jordan decide deserves her personal attention.

Curtis has finally gotten tired of the dance he and Marshall have been doing. But what will that mean moving forward?

Tuesday, March 29:

The shocking truth about how Harmony knows her way around Alexis’ house is revealed in a murderous flashback. Plus, Spencer has doubts about Trina.

Those who’ve worried about Victor’s influence over Spencer won’t be thrilled to hear that the young man is confiding in his uncle.

Sonny and Carly may no longer be together, but he seeks her out when a matter of mutual concern arises.

What does Sam see that leaves her unsettled?

As Ava finds herself rushing to get to the police department, Esme definitely seems to be in the catbird seat.

Wednesday, March 30:

Trina’s done with Spencer, Nikolas comes to Esme’s rescue with Sonny, and Brook Lynn’s reaction leaves Chase confused.

Brando and Sasha left Port Charles as two, but they return as one thanks to their Las Vegas wedding.

When a visitor arrives to see Sonny, he’s got a few questions.

There’s an important meeting about to get underway, which has Portia and Curtis waiting to get things started.

Chase and Dante have been friends (and occasional co-workers) for a while. So why does Finn’s brother seem to be so defense when talking to Sonny’s offspring?

It’s time for the big Deception IPO party. Here’s hoping things go as planned for Brooke Lynn, Maxie and Lucy’s launch!

Thursday, March 31:

Spencer suggests he and Esme move to Wyndemere, and a man who looks like Neil’s brother spies on Esme and then pays Alexis a visit.

We all know that Scott is a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom. But he’s going to have to put all his skills to work for his new client! At the same time, fellow attorney (and shark) Diane finds her advice being sought by Willow and Michael. Will they all wind up on the same page?

For most young couples, “It’s you and me against the world” is just a cute phrase. But for Joss and Cameron, it’s proving true as they join forces.

Carly needs something to take her mind off recent events, so Sam suggests they hit a yoga class. But we’ve noticed that the yoga studio tends to draw an interesting assortment of people, almost always guaranteeing that the end result will be anything but peaceful!

What causes Spencer’s jaw to hit the floor?

Friday, April 1:

Neil’s brother wants money from Alexis and recognizes Harmony, Trina pleads not guilty, and Nina hires Scott.

When Sonny needs an assist, he calls on an old friend. Will Brick be able to get the job done?

Trina finds herself having to make a big decision about the future.

Who is the “unexpected visitor” who swings by Alexis’ office? And does it have anything to do with Nina getting together with Harmony?

Who is on the receiving end of an offer from Nikolas?

Week of April 4:

Monday, April 4:

Something tells us Ava is not going to be pleased by what she finds going on at Wyndemere!

Liz has a conversation with former mother-in-law Laura, only to later make a very unsettling discovery.

The family that plays together, stays together. But if what happens when Chase and Violet join Finn and Gregory for dinner is any indication, the same can’t necessarily be said about the family that eats together!

Britt is usually the one who catches other people off guard, but today, the tables are turned. Meanwhile, although Britt would love to hire Brad back at the hospital, the decision is not hers alone. How will things go when he has an interview with Terry?

After everything they’ve been through, Maxie and Brook Lynn have bonded in a way neither could have expected. But even Maxie can’t help when Amy manages to make BLQ feel wildly awkward.

Tuesday, April 5:

With the IPO behind them, the Deception crew gathers at the Savoy to celebrate their success. But something is definitely not right where Sasha is concerned…

You’ll recall that Selina recently came to Curtis with a business proposition. While he wasn’t immediately keen on the idea, might he have changed his mind?

Sometimes, it takes a young brain to see things from a different perspective. Could Jake and Aiden have stumbled upon the truth about the mysterious events unfolding under their roof?

Scott may be considered a bit of an ambulance chaser by some in Port Charles, but he’s always been good to Ava. Will she follow the legal advice he offers her?

New information comes to light which is going to leave Esme and Spencer having to figure out what their next step should be.

Wednesday, April 6:

Who doesn’t love a housewarming party? When everyone gathers to celebrate Portia and Curtis’ new home, here’s hoping the one gift nobody brings is drama!

Laura is dealing with the whole Esme-and-the-video situation when Nikolas gets a very big surprise in the form of an unexpected arrival. Meanwhile, Sonny also receives a visit from someone unexpected.

Who is on the receiving end of Victor’s text… and what, exactly, does he mean by “get it done”?

Thursday, April 7:

Nina has something important to tell Sonny, but she may be waylaid by what she sees.

In an exotic tropical locale, two unexpected people make contact.

What brings Harmony to Carly’s office? Meanwhile, Michael and Willow are trying to figure out which path forward they should take, only to immediately find out that there’s another roadblock before them!

Victor hopes to sway Laura to his side by saying they have more in common than she might want to believe. (In other news, he probably also has a bridge in Brooklyn that he’d love her to make an offer on!)

Friday, April 8:

It seems like old times as Felicia and Anna go undercover in pursuit of a new lead.

Someone’s sexy-time is about to become a lot less sexy thanks to an interruption.

Scott hates Sonny, and with good reason. So what in the world has the attorney visiting the man he holds responsible for daughter Karen’s downfall?

Trina connects with Marshall.

Once again, Harmony finds herself having to go where she doesn’t want to. How much longer will she be manipulated?

Maggie finds herself having to make a darn-near impossible decision where Sarah’s future is concerned. Faced with two potentially troubling options, which way will she go? Meanwhile, Anna has had about as much as she can take of the situation and is about to take things into her own hands. Will she only make matters worse?

Belle is about to get a shock at Statesville. (Fortunately for her, it won’t be the kind that comes from being strapped to an electric chair!)

Tuesday, April 5:

When Sarah’s condition takes a turn, will this result in her finally shuffling off the Renee persona… or will we forever have to say farewell to the woman Xander truly loves?

Nothing Jan does or says should surprise anyone at this point, but she’s about to drop a bombshell on Belle.

Actions have consequences, which is something Anna learns when she’s arrested!

Ava and Jake, under the same roof? This sounds like trouble. (Maybe even sexy, sexy trouble.) When they realize just how much they actually have in common, Salem might want to watch out!

Wednesday, April 6:

Remember the sexy, sexy trouble we mentioned in yesterday’s teasers? Well, things certainly move quickly, as evidenced when Gabi finds her man in bed with Ava!

Shawn has a confession to make, and it’s one that is gonna absolutely stun Belle.
