Saturday, January 21, 2023

Weekly Spoilers: January 23-27, 2023

 


The Young and the Restless

Tension Tamer Tea all around? We’d recommend it, because blood pressure is rising all across Genoa City as Devon and Lily struggle at an impasse, Victoria needles an adversary, Diane is offered her least favorite kind of seat (the hot one!), and Victor… Oh, who are we kidding? Victor Victors the house down!

Friday, January 20:

Nick finds out Sally’s pregnant, Nikki suspects Jack and Diane, and Sharon helps Chance with a huge decision.

Victor encourages Kyle to behave responsibly and honorably, because more than success, those are the things that really matter. Just kidding. The Black Knight urges Jack’s son to play dirty.

Sally struggles with the truth — and perhaps also with a chance to show us how she’s grown. C’mon, Sally, prove to us that you’re not the same scamp who pretended she was dying in hopes of holding onto a boyfriend!

Nikki interrogates Jack and Diane. Which roughly translates to “holds their feet to the fire,” ’cause you know Mrs. Newman has zero patience for the reformed schemer and her one-man support system.

Week of January 23:

Y&R Restless Rant! Pulling no punches with the soap’s issues. Plus, Jeremy’s ‘nothing burger’ story, fuming over Devon’s predicament, Tucker’s redemption, what’s next for Sally, and much more.

Monday, January 23:

How else would you expect Victor to start his week but seizing an opportunity? It’s right there at the top of his to-do list, before even eat a well-balanced breakfast or give the ol’ ’stache a trim.

Diane has done a lot of crummy things in her life. Er, lives. But it’s still hard not to feel kinda bad for her when the fates deal her blow after blow. What now? Nikki uncovers her nemesis’ latest scheme. And you just know that can’t go well for Diane!

Oooh… is that way in this same episode, Diane puts on the brakes with Jack. It can’t be a coincidence, can it?

Tuesday, January 24:

Phyllis makes a promise to Daniel. Which probably means about as much as when we say we’re just going to have the one glass of wine. The intention is good, but the follow-through? Eh.

Ready or not, here comes “Chelly.” Billy and Chelsea discuss their future, a sure sign that they think that they have one.

Devon and Lily struggle to find common ground. Maybe they need to try harder to ask, “What would Neil do?”

Wednesday, January 25:

One little meeting could be a very big deal for Lauren, as a newcomer turns up in Genoa City on the same day that Young & Restless celebrates Tracey E. Bregman’s 40th anniversary as the reformed Mean Girl.

Thursday, January 26:

If Tucker crosses the line — and he does — which one? We weren’t aware that there were actually any left that Devon’s biodad hadn’t already crossed and, for that matter, double-crossed. Don’t believe it?

Phyllis could entice the thorns off a rose if she put her mind to it. So we wonder who she’ll be directing her charms at when she turns them up to 11? Whoever it is, they don’t stand a chance!

Gee — wonder why! Kyle worries about his parents’ decision-making. Ah, Kyle. There comes a point in everyone’s life where they become the mature one, and their folks become the reckless teenagers!

Friday, January 27:

Ready or not, there goes “Chelly”? When Billy makes a confession to Chelsea, will there reunion be brought to an end before it’s even really begun?

What does Tucker have in common with an elevator? They both have buttons, a fact that Victoria is only too happy to exploit when she pushes her corporate rival’s.

Victor reminds us all that “enough” is not a word in his vocabulary when he concocts a strategy to expand his already-vast empire.


 

The Bold and the Beautiful

It must be snowing in hell, ’cause a whole lotta impossible things are going down. For starters, the most “to-die-for” restaurant in L.A. has an unlikely new owner. On top of that, Thomas envisions a future for himself that… looks absolutely nothing like his present. And Finn risks life and limb to remind Mommie Dearest that she’s persona non grata.

Week of January 23

Monday, January 23:

Deacon is forced to cover his genuine emotion for Sheila.

Sheila panics as Brooke makes a passionate appeal to Bill.

Tuesday, January 24:

Sheila pays a visit to the new proprietor of Il Giardino — Deacon.

Hope anxiously awaits reviews of her newest fashion collection.

Wednesday, January 25:

Steffy and Eric balk at Hope’s proposal for Hope for the Future.

Deacon presses Sheila for the truth about her motives in regard to Dollar Bill.

Thursday, January 26:

An unexpected advocate for Thomas approaches Hope.

Friday, January 27:

Finn puts Sheila in her place during a chance encounter at Il Giardino.

Katie decides to save Bill from himself and Sheila Carter.

 


General Hospital

While Heather creates suspicion, Ava makes an unexpected ally. Plus, Sonny offends Carly, Finn and Elizabeth realize what they have to do next, Victor’s actions shock Nikolas, Cam receives a very unpleasant surprise, and Nina’s stunned by what she sees. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Monday, January 23:

Backed into more corners than most rooms even have, Nikolas asks for Laura’s support. If anyone is going to have his back, it would have to be his mom… er, wouldn’t it?

Someone hide the barware, ’cause when Spencer surprises Sonny, it could go flying if the surprise isn’t to the don’s liking!

Oooh… Now here’s a potential pairing that we could get behind. As Ava and Austin find common ground, could it be the first step toward… something more?

Dante sets a deadline for Heather. Which is almost funny when you think about it: Does she really strike you as someone who respects deadlines?

Liz gets a shock. And in a way, that in and of itself is shocking. At this point, shouldn’t she be virtually unsurprisable?

Tuesday January 24:

Sonny presses Dex. Here’s hoping that this time, it doesn’t go so far as torture!

Nikolas makes his case — perhaps a precursor to what happens in the very next spoiler. Could he be getting the hell out of Dodge… er, Port Charles?

Laura is there for Liz. But can even a natural problem-solver like Laura help her former daughter-in-law?

When Anna and Valentin do some exploring, a resolution to Lucy’s “murder” must be getting closer.

Josslyn makes a big request. But of whom? She certainly has no shortage of people in her orbit who are equipped to grant big requests.

Our thoughts and prayers are with McKenzie Westmore, as the soap alum reveals her latest cancer diagnosis: “The journey begins.”

Wednesday, January 25:

This can’t possibly go well. When Carly confides in Josslyn, will the teen understand why her mother did to Nina, basically, what Nina did to her?

Laura warns Martin. However, will he be smart enough to heed her warning? That’s a whole other question!

Spencer and Trina have questions for Cam. But, given his current state, there’s no telling whether he’ll be in the mood to provide answers.

Hell hath no fury like a ticked-off tween. So when Charlotte blasts Victor, we wouldn’t want to be in his shoes!

Olivia counsels Drew. Mind you, what can she really say except, “If you wanna be with Carly, you’re gonna have to get used to this kinda thing.”

Thursday, January 26:

Cody makes a connection. Could someone new be about to catch his eye after his missed opportunity with Britt?

Oh, the irony! While reeling from the revelation that Willow is her daughter, Nina confides in Sasha, the fake daughter that Valentin once gave her.

Drew makes his feelings clear. Does that mean he’ll be sticking the fork extra deeply into his relationship with Carly… or admitting that he can’t shake his feelings for her?

When Trina questions Spencer’s motives, we can only hope that tells the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Keeping things from Trina has never worked out well for Spencer!

Brook Lynn and Ned visit Willow — and hopefully sneak her some real food; she must be starving subsisting on hospital grub!

As Denise Crosby returns, Elizabeth’s mother makes a doozy of a mistake — and wait until you hear who she gets mixed up with next!

Friday, January 27:

Ava stakes her claim, and if we we’re betting folks, we’d wager that she was staking it on Nikolas’ money.

It can’t be said often enough in Port Charles: Don’t shoot the messenger! Laura delivers bad news.

Willow has a big decision to make. Given all of the conflicting emotions roiling around inside of her, will she be able to make the right one?

Nina is surprised by what she sees — perhaps Sonny comforting Carly now that she’s in the hot seat? That would be our guess.

If Victor is furious, and he is, one of his plans must have started to unravel.


 

Days of Our Lives on Peacock

Marlena encounters a familiar face in a heavenly setting, as John and Roman are shocked by Steve’s new plan. Plus, Gabi manipulates Li, as Chanel and Johnny face their lingering feelings, and an unintended victim is ensnared in Stefan’s revenge plot!

Week of January 23:

Monday, January 23:

John can only stand on the sidelines and pray as Sarah does anything and everything she can to save the life of his beloved Marlena. Meanwhile, the shrink’s children and loved ones all hope for a miracle.

Allie wasn’t thrilled to hear that girlfriend Channel nearly shared a kiss with ex-hubby Johnny. Now, she wants answers… and probably assurances that this won’t happen again!

As Tripp continues to reel about the loss of both Kayla and Ava, Wendy is there to offer him comfort.

Tuesday, January 24:

Things aren’t looking good for Marlena as she winds up in heaven. Will the familiar face she encounters there encourage her to go into the light… or return to her loved ones?

Eric is in need of comfort, and Sloan is there with open arms to provide it. Are these two getting serious about one another?

Even after having talked to Johnny and Channel, Allie still isn’t sure how she feels. Will advice from Alex — who knows a thing or two about these situations — hurt or help the situation?

Paulina pays Stephanie a visit, hoping to hire her as she prepares to wage a major battle against Sloan. Just how nasty will this get?

Wednesday, January 25:

Brace yourself, Li, because EJ’s about to hit you with a bombshell! Meanwhile, Gabi is on the receiving end of both an apology and a pep talk as Wendy — feeling guilty for her role in things — encourages her to go after Stefan!

Apparently not satisfied by the answers she received earlier this week, Allie goes to Channel and demands answers regarding her relationship with Johnny.

Stefan has a multi-step plan with which he’s going to seek revenge against EJ, and he’s putting the first step in motion today!

Thursday, January 26:

Allie opens up to Alex about Chanel, while Chanel and Johnny have a frank discussion about their lingering feelings for each other.

Stefan’s revenge plot ensnares an unintended victim. Meanwhile, Gabi finds herself having to hide an unconscious person. (Fortunately, she’s got more than a little experience in that department!)

Pop some corn and settle in to watch as Nicole and Sloan get nasty with one another. Which of Eric’s women will prove triumphant?

Friday, January 27:

Sloan leaves a bad impression on Roman.

Proving she’s a woman who knows how to get what she wants, Gabi manipulates the heck out of Li!

Nicole suggests that she and EJ take things to the next level — which is where his bedroom’s located. What he doesn’t realize is that she’s been drugged!

It seems Allie’s worst nightmare is coming to pass when she finds Johnny and Channel in one another’s arms!

Week of January 30:

Monday, January 30:

Stefan receives an unexpected call from Vivian.

Tuesday, January 31:

Rolf prepares to deprogram a resistant Stefan.

Wednesday, February 1:

Bonnie tries to talk Sarah out of divorcing Xander.

Weekly Spoilers: January 16-20, 2023

 


The Young and the Restless

Kyle gets busted, Jack and Diane get grilled, Victor gets proactive, and Jill gets handed a job that may just be impossible to accomplish: smoothing things over between Devon and Lily.

Week of January 16:

Y&R Restless Rant! Hot topics: Victor’s about to do the unthinkable, plus, Chance’s outburst, Tucker’s downfall, Jack’s stupidity, Devon’s big move, and Sally’s secret is about to be exposed!

Monday, January 16:

Hope he’s got a lotta Scotch tape. Victor works to repair his and Adam’s relationship, which at this point has been demolished more times than The Mustache has been married.

Is it the beginning of the end for “Skyle”? When Summer discovers Kyle’s scheming, there’s no way it’s going to go over well.

Devon makes a painful decision — perhaps about un-merging Chancellor-Winters and risking creating a new chasm with sis Lily?


 

Casting news! Michael and Lauren are about to get the surprise of their lives during a very special episode.

Tuesday, January 17:

His days as a lying rat bastard long behind him, Jack generally tries to be upfront and honest. So it may almost be a relief to him when he is forced to come clean.

When Daniel and Summer share a difference of opinion, it can only be over one thing… or should we say one person: mom Phyllis!

Closer and closer, they just keep getting. Now Sharon helps Chance with some soul-searching. If he looks deeply enough into his heart, will he discover feelings for his new pal that are more than friendly?

Wednesday, January 18:

This oughta be fun: Phyllis calls Tucker’s bluff. Why do we keep thinking that these two would make a great couple. Neither of them can help but land in trouble with every other step!

Jill does damage control with Lily and Devon. But is the mover and shaker fighting a losing battle?

Jack and Diane take a big risk. Honestly, at this point, what’s one more, right? The question is, will the gamble pay off in the way that they are hoping — in other words, paving the way for Jeremy Stark to be out of their lives forever!

Thursday, January 19:

Is hell freezing over? Must be if Victoria and Chelsea manage to reach an understanding.

Sounds like it’s going to be the “Maybe we can still be friends” talk when Billy and Lily clear the air.

Dun-dun-dunnn. Mariah and Tessa return home with unexpected news. The adoption couldn’t be falling through… could it?

Friday, January 20:

Victor encourages Kyle to behave responsibly and honorably, because more than success, those are the things that really matter. Just kidding. The Black Knight urges Jack’s son to play dirty.

Sally struggles with the truth — and perhaps also with a chance to show us how she’s grown. C’mon, Sally, prove to us that you’re not the same scamp who pretended she was dying in hopes of holding onto a boyfriend!

Nikki interrogates Jack and Diane. Which roughly translates to “holds their feet to the fire,” ’cause you know Mrs. Newman has zero patience for the reformed schemer and her one-man support system.


 

The Bold and the Beautiful

Remember how Jan on The Brady Bunch was always ticked that it was all about Marcia, Marcia, Marcia? Well, newest spoilers for The Bold and the Beautiful are kinda just like that, only instead of Marcia, Marcia, Marcia, they’re all about Sheila, Sheila, Sheila! On every corner of the canvas, the Forresters and Logans are wracking their brains trying to figure out how to deal with the menace to society — and to them, specifically. By week’s end, one of them thinks they’ve come up with a master stroke.

Week of January 9:

Monday, January 9:

Terry has bad news for Michael and Willow, Victor has questions for Nikolas about the north tower, and Sonny makes a discovery that could change everything.

Victor and Sonny have at least one thing in common: Both would say that they put family above all else. So it makes sense that when the Cassadine patriarch needs help with a family matter, it is Sonny to whom he turns.

When Willow and Michael get together with Terry, will she have good news to share with them?

Ava’s got a plan, and who better to share it with than gal pal Nina.

Finn’s been struggling since finding out about Elizabeth and Nikolas’ supposed tryst. He attempts to put his pain aside, but how successful will he be?

When Nikolas talks to Alexis, will they discuss business or personal matters? Or perhaps both?

Tuesday January 10:

Carly is stunned when Drew tells her that Willow has leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant, and finally admits that Nina is Willow’s mother. Plus, Dante makes a discovery at Wyndemere, and Victor holds Nikolas’ freedom in his hands.

Laura has always had a soft spot for former daughter-in-law Elizabeth, but today she’s also touched by her loyalty.

Nikolas will probably have a tough time when he’s put on the spot by Victor.

Jordan and Dante put on their detective caps — or at least their badges — and mount a search.

Carly is about to come into some extremely important information, while Drew is in for a major shock.

Wednesday, January 11:

An intense nightmare and confrontation leaves Willow’s life in jeopardy, Drew ends things with Carly, and Joss continues to lean on Dex.

Carly has never been the kind of woman to second guess herself, but she could face a real challenge as today, she has to try and defend what she’s done. How well that goes might depend on to whom she’s mounting that defense!

The downfall of Carly leaves Laura Wright all fired up — and there’s one thing we can all agree on… the “you know what” is going to hit the fan!

Gladys and Sonny have come a long way since first she came to Port Charles. When she turns to him for help, will he come through?

Brook Lynn now knows exactly what she wants and is ready to fight for it.

Cody is about to create a distraction. Given that we met the guy when he literally landed atop Britt at a pool party, we can’t wait to see exactly what he cooks up!

Watch the heartwarming goodbye video Kelly Thiebaud created for Britt fans: “I’m sad to let go.”

Thursday, January 12:

As Willow is in critical condition and running out of time, Carly prepares to tell Nina the truth, and Drew does the same with Michael. Plus, Liz helps Cam deal with his breakup, and Alexis has some career advice for Gregory.

Cameron and Elizabeth have always had the kind of relationship that allows him to speak honestly with his mom. When he does so today, might he be asking her thoughts on his relationship with Joss… who has been spending even more time with Dex than he realizes?

Cody is a handsome, single guy. Sasha is a beautiful widow. Could the discovery that they have a few things in common be a new beginning for each of them?

Sometimes, all a guy wants to do is forget. But Chase will find that more difficult than he’d like thanks to a bittersweet reminder.

Michael’s loved ones gather to offer their support when he needs it most. Meanwhile, Carly must sense trouble coming down the pike, because she steels herself to handle whatever comes her way.

Port Charles will never be the same without nurse Epiphany, and the ABC soap has revealed its plan to honor Sonya Eddy as the shining star that she was.

Friday, January 13:

Nina lashes out at Carly after learning Willow is her daughter, Willow asks Michael to promise her something should she die, and Portia vows to keep Spencer out of Trina’s life.

We don’t think of Sonny as a guy who has a whole lot of regrets. But he gives voice to one today. Meanwhile, his girlfriend, Nina, is about to receive a major shock…

Portia has been worried about Trina ever since the hook began attacking those in her circle. But the news her daughter shares will have her more concerned than ever!

Could this lead them to Victor’s secret Paris location? The soap may have just cast the key to “Vanna’s” desperate search for Lucy.

What will Alexis do with the breaking news Spencer shares with her?

Diane heads to the PCPD in order to prove why it is that when smart people in this town find themselves in trouble, hers is the first number they call!


 

Beloved soap vet dead, Ben Masters, Julian Crane (Passions), Vic Strang (Another World) at 75: COVID claims the actor who created one of daytime’s most colorful baddies.

Week of January 16:

Monday, January 16:

As the truth sinks in, Willow finds herself struggling to believe the latest twist of fate. For her part, Nina remains bound and determined to follow through.

Nikolas consults with Elizabeth as they continue to work toward keeping their stories straight. Meanwhile, when Spencer consults with Diane, is he considering legal action or wanting to talk to the attorney about her brush with the hook?

Curtis isn’t just the man in Portia’s life, he’s also on hand when she needs someone to consult with.

Tuesday January 17:

Chase and Sasha — who of late seem to be spending an awful lot of time together — make their way to the hospital.

Two heads are better than one, especially when they happen to belong to the mother-and-daughter team of Alexis and Sam. (In real-world news, it looks like Alexis’ portrayer, Nancy Lee Grahn, contracted Covid. Sending her wishes for a speedy recovery!)

If there’s one thing we know about Sonny, it’s that he loves to be there when one of the women in his life is in need. In this case, it’s Nina to whom he’s offering comfort.

Victor likes to think of himself as a master of the game, but he’s about to get played by Martin.

Wednesday, January 18:

Suspicious eyes are beginning to look Heather’s way. Although why anyone would take their eyes off a character with her history to begin with is rather baffling!

Nina is feeling anxious as she awaits news that could have a major impact on what comes next.

Ava has always been a woman who chooses her next move wisely… and often surprises those around her. But wait until you see who she’s forming an alliance with now!

There was a time when Michael was considered something of a softie. But he’s developed more of a harsh edge of late, so it’s not surprising that he’s not ready to offer his forgiveness.

It’s time for Valentin to have an honest conversation with Anna so they can clear the air between them.

Thursday, January 19:

Michael has become increasingly discomfited by the bond between Dex and Joss. Is there anything the hunk can say to reassure Michael? At the same time, Joss — who has long worn her heart on her sleeve — is feeling sympathetic.

Sonny launches a pretty intense accusation at Carly, who is wildly offended. (But will she deny it? That’s the real question!)

Austin and Liesl find themselves receiving big news.

When Portia and Curtis go to Marshall with a request, will he grant it?

Friday, January 20:

For months, Laura has been trying to warn anyone who would listen about Victor’s nefarious intentions. Yet somehow, Nikolas is shocked upon finding out what his uncle has done.

Liz and Finn realize they need to sit down for a chat with Violet.

Still hurting after having been dumped by Joss, Cam is in for yet another unpleasant surprise.

Ever wonder what it might be like to see Michael get really, truly, over-the-edge angry? Well, wonder no more, ’cause he’s about to explode!

Will wants nothing more than to find a way to get Leo out of Sonny’s life. And it looks as if the information Will comes across today might just give him exactly the ammunition he needs.

Obviously, Alex had no idea when he turned Stephanie’s phone off that he was going to be keeping her from sharing one final moment with a dying Kayla. But the situation has created one major roadblock for them… and today finds Stephanie weeping about it on Chad’s shoulder.


 

In an exclusive chat with Robert Scott Wilson, he asks the same question some fans have raised: Did Alex finally go too far?

Sarah might just be surprised when she hears Bonnie’s take on Xander. Meanwhile, Gwen shows up at the hunk’s hotel room and is shocked by what she finds!

Tuesday, January 17:

Steve is still reeling when he confronts Kristen, blaming her for everything that Kayla’s gone through. Meanwhile, the children Kayla left behind are brought together by their grief and memories of their mom.

Has Gabi gone a step too far? Judging by Brady’s reaction to her request, we’re going to guess yes.

Stefan confronts Li about all the ways in which he messed with his life.

Wednesday, January 18:

Steve gives Rafe what he believes to be everything he’ll need to see Kristen punished. But is it really enough? (Meanwhile, just reading about what happened to Galen Gering makes us say “ouch” in sympathy!)

Brady has a heartfelt conversation with John about the way he handled — or perhaps mishandled — the Kristen situation.

Li may have pulled some nasty tricks, but he’s also ready to stand up and defend Gabi to a furious Stefan.

Hope Chloe’s carving out a big chunk of time, because she plans to call out Kristen for her many, many sins.

Thursday, January 19:

As Marlena’s condition continues to deteriorate, her loved ones gather around to offer their support. This includes Belle, who comes home to be by her mom’s side.

Kristen’s pulled another vanishing act, so Rafe and Jade join forces in an attempt to find her. Meanwhile, the missing woman is all set to leave town with the thing she values above all else: Her daughter, Rachel!

Marlena’s condition takes a downward turn. Will she be the next victim of that danged orchid?

Friday, January 20:

We never thought we’d see the day, but John actually refuses to do as Marlena asks. He does, however, come up with a counter-proposal. Meanwhile, Johnny and Chanel can’t help but reconnect as they try and help John plan something special for his ailing love.

Rachel proves to have her mommy’s temper when she has a complete meltdown. Over what? Brady and Chloe’s relationship. (The kid really does have a lot in common with her mother, doesn’t she!) Meanwhile, Kristen breaks out the oldest trick in the DiMera playbook — blackmail — in order to force EJ to do her bidding.

When Jada and Rafe score a point for the good guys, they bond over their moment of victory.

Weekly Spoilers: January 9-13, 2023

 


The Young and the Restless

It’s chaos, utter chaos, on one side of the canvas, you’ve got Victor risking his iconic mustache to cross enemy lines. On the other, you’ve got Chloe hatching a plot regarding Nick. Nick? Yes, Nick! On top of all that, Chancellor-Winters becomes a battleground right beneath Lily’s feet, and Phyllis makes a discovery that leaves her eyes wide with shock.

Friday, January 6:

Sally covers her tracks with Nick, Billy and Lily split, Summer and Kyle argue, and Diane targets [Spoiler].

An old pro at pulling the wool over people’s eyes, Sally covers her tracks with Nick. Will her efforts be enough to secure her relationship with her ex-lover’s brother?

Sharon bonds with Chance. Since there are no coincidences in Genoa City, we’re going to climb out on a limb and deduce that that means that they’re about to connect in a whole new way.

Wanna bet that when Billy faces an important decision, it will be whether to try to salvage his relationship with Lily or forge a new path with Chelsea?

Week of January 9:

Y&R Restless Rant! Hot topics: The stunning twist for Sally’s baby, Billy and Lily’s split irked fans, Jeremy and Tucker have been de-fanged, and more.

Monday, January 9:

When Tucker sees a new side to Ashley, we can only assume it will be a warmer, fuzzier side as she’s been pretty darn prickly with him since he returned. Will the coolest Abbott find herself drawn back toward her old flame?

It takes a lot to shock Phyllis at this point, so we can’t help but be incredibly curious as to what discovery she’ll make today that will totally blow her away!

After the unique ringtone gave Devon suspicions about Tucker and Audra sharing a connection, it was only a matter of time before he uncovered deception at Chancellor-Winters. Is Audra about to receive a pink slip?!? If so, how will Lily handle more upheaval at the company right on the heels of her split from Billy?

Tuesday, January 10:

We know his heart’s in the right place, but this is so foolish! We can only imagine what kind of hot water will Jack land in when he takes a risk to help Diane.

When Jill receives a disturbing message, you know it’s not going to go over well with Billy’s mother. Will the powerhouse come swooping back into town to take care of business? We can only hope!

Phyllis tries to make amends with Summer, and it just might work considering that her daughter has come around to sharing her mother’s take on Diane and her endless drama.

Wednesday, January 11:

Will Victor get a different result than last week when he gives Adam yet another reality check?! We somehow doubt he’ll get anywhere with this approach, which may be why the Mustache resorts to playing dirty to get his youngest back into the fold.

Now that he’s moved on to supper-club dates with Sharon, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that Chance loses patience with Abby.

Here we go: Devon and Lily disagree on how to handle a crisis. This falling out will play right into Tucker’s plans! Wait, does he still have a plan after his alliance with Audra was exposed? Hmm.

Thursday, January 12:

We’ve long suspected that Chelsea and Billy were headed for coupledom again, and sometimes a relationship starts with one person giving the other much-needed moral support — which is exactly what the reformed con does for Lily’s ex today.

Wow, what’s going on here?! When Chloe sets a trap for Nick, might she be trying to alert him to the fact that Sally’s carrying a baby that could be his?!?

When Daniel makes a promise to Lily, something tells us he’ll keep it. Could these two exes find their way through their difficulties and back together?

Friday, January 13:

Desperate times call for desperate measures. In this case, that means that Victor enters enemy territory. Will he get what he wants out of the risky maneuver?

As Phyllis would say, “Ah, there’s the real Diane!” When the schemer targets Nikki, she could be putting her whole “I’ve been redeemed!” act in jeopardy.

Ashley sets the record straight with Tucker. Though, to what end, we can’t guess. How do you set the record straight with a guy who’s never met a truth he wouldn’t bend?


 

The Bold and the Beautiful

It’s going to feel like Freaky Friday or something every day soon! As Brooke and Taylor start a new competition… to see which of them can play nicer, Sheila’s henchman recalls the good old days (there were some?), and Carter drops a bombshell that blows Katie and Brooke’s minds. What gives?

Week of January 9

Monday, January 9:

Finn and Steffy are tormented by Bill’s blackmail.

At the start of her hearing, Sheila issues a warning to Steffy.

Tuesday, January 10:

Taylor and Brooke engage in a war — of compliments.

Shocking new evidence comes to light at Sheila’s hearing.

Wednesday, January 11:

Mike Guthrie remembers his most fabulous moments with Sheila.

Steffy and Finn are outraged by Bill’s cunning move.

Thursday, January 12:

Katie and Brooke become confused by Carter’s unexpected information.

Steffy confesses Bill’s blackmail to a mortified Taylor

Friday, January 13:

Taylor and Steffy share an emotional mother-daughter moment.

Finn breaks stunning news about Sheila to Brooke and Katie.


 

General Hospital

Finn tries desperately to deal with his pain, while Elizabeth has an important talk with Cameron. Things seem to be getting tenser between Nikolas and Victor, while Trina shares something that worries her mom, and someone is in need of Diane’s legal services!

Week of January 2:

Monday, January 2:

Even the always-busy residents of Port Charles need an occasional day off, and it looks like that’s what they’ll be getting today. No episode will air.

Tuesday January 3:

Joss is attacked but saved by not one, but two people, and the hook’s identity is finally revealed.

Carly and Drew make time to celebrate. (Given that their union could lead to major legal problems, here’s hoping they’re smart enough to have a private party as opposed to making a public spectacle of themselves!

Dante and Sam have a pretty strong relationship, but he’s not been entirely honest with her…especially where his past with Cody is concerned. When Dante decides to share a bit more of himself, does that mean he might finally fill her in on that part of his past?

If there’s one person you can probably trust, it’s the woman who helped you keep a pregnant lady locked in a turret. So it makes sense that Nikolas will confide in Elizabeth. In other Cassadine news, Spencer is about to find out something surprising.

Will Port Charles start the year off with a decrease in the local population? That could be the case when the hook strikes again!

Move over, Magic Milo! Watch Chad Duell (Michael) bust a move — plus, relive one of the Nurses Ball’s sexiest performances ever featuring the ABC soap actor and a few other Port Charles hotties… You’re welcome!

Wednesday, January 4:

The hook killer claims her latest victim, Joss breaks Cam’s heart, and Esme’s revelation has everyone asking questions.

Trina’s a pretty smart young lady, so when she speaks up about her concerns, it might be smart for those around her to listen.

Now that we know who the hook really is, two questions remain: Does the twist make sense… and what happens next?

Cameron had a very special relationship with the late Franco (who, despite dying way back in 2021, still wound up making our 2022 Best & Worst list!). While the artist may be gone, his dad, Scott, still shares a nice bond with Cameron, as proved when they catch up.

We might suggest that it’s not a great idea for Laura, as mayor, to be spending time in the company of former mob queen Ava. Then again, half of the citizens have ties to organized crime, so this might be a voter base worth pursuing.

Elizabeth and Nikolas work together toward a common goal. Could the lie that they told about her supposed pregnancy have the ironic effect of bringing the exes closer again?

Does the fact that Dante’s heading to the hospital in order to question a patient mean that the latest victim of the hook survived the attack?

Kelly Thiebaud makes a heartbreaking exit as Britt dies in her mother’s arms.

Thursday, January 5:

Esme receives several visitors, including one who intends her harm, Maxie and Brad learn of Britt’s Huntington’s Disease, and Ryan reveals big news to Heather.

Martin hasn’t had much to do of late, but he’ll be kept a bit busier thanks to a new client who requires his services.

Cody hasn’t made many friends since coming to town, so he might be wise to listen to a far more popular resident. But will he take Felicia up on her suggestion?

With Rory gone and Chase’s career still up in the air, it’s time to meet the new addition to the Port Charles PD!

What has Elizabeth asking Kevin for a bit of help?

Heather’s actions aren’t always easily understood by those who see things through saner eyes, but today she’ll make an effort to explain herself.

News of a tragedy spreads across Port Charles.

If you think it was hard to watch Wednesday’s scenes, Kelly Thiebaud shares many a fan’s feeling about Britt’s swan song…

Friday, January 6:

Willow gets life-changing news, Sonny makes Spencer an offer, and Nina prevents her aunt from making a grave mistake.

Sonny has always had a soft spot in his heart for Spencer, but he’s definitely not feeling the love toward the young man’s dad. What has Sonny putting Nikolas on blast?

Willow gets the kind of call that could prove incredibly important moving forward.

Never one to let others do her dirty work, Obrecht steps up and takes matters into her own hands. Meanwhile, Carly is there when someone needs support.

What is the shocking news received by Spencer?

Nicholas Chavez gives a preview for what’s ahead as Spencer faces his greatest fear: Losing Trina forever.

Were you were one of the 5.5 million Fire Country viewers left hanging on the edge of your seats when Bode went over the bridge in the fall finale? If so, you won’t want to miss this preview as his ultimate fate is revealed in Friday’s winter premiere!

Week of January 9:

Monday, January 9:

Victor and Sonny have at least one thing in common: Both would say that they put family above all else. So it makes sense that when the Cassadine patriarch needs help with a family matter, it is Sonny to whom he turns.

When Willow and Michael get together with Terry, will she have good news to share with them?

Ava’s got a plan, and who better to share it with than gal pal Nina.

Finn’s been struggling since finding out about Elizabeth and Nikolas’ supposed tryst. He attempts to put his pain aside, but how successful will he be?

When Nikolas talks to Alexis, will they discuss business or personal matters? Or perhaps both?

Tuesday January 10:

Laura has always had a soft spot for former daughter-in-law Elizabeth, but today she’s also touched by her loyalty.

Nikolas will probably have a tough time when he’s put on the spot by Victor.

Jordan and Dante put on their detective caps — or at least their badges — and mount a search.

Carly is about to come into some extremely important information, while Drew is in for a major shock.

Wednesday, January 11:

Carly has never been the kind of woman to second guess herself, but she could face a real challenge as today, she has to try and defend what she’s done. How well that goes might depend on to whom she’s mounting that defense!

Gladys and Sonny have come a long way since first she came to Port Charles. When she turns to him for help, will he come through?

Brook Lynn now knows exactly what she wants and is ready to fight for it.

Cody is about to create a distraction. Given that we met the guy when he literally landed atop Britt at a pool party, we can’t wait to see exactly what he cooks up!

Thursday, January 12:

Cameron and Elizabeth have always had the kind of relationship that allows him to speak honestly with his mom. When he does so today, might he be asking her thoughts on his relationship with Joss… who has been spending even more time with Dex than he realizes?

Cody is a handsome, single guy. Sasha is a beautiful widow. Could the discovery that they have a few things in common be a new beginning for each of them?

Sometimes, all a guy wants to do is forget. But Chase will find that more difficult than he’d like thanks to a bittersweet reminder.

Michael’s loved ones gather to offer their support when he needs it most. Meanwhile, Carly must sense trouble coming down the pike, because she steels herself to handle whatever comes her way.

Friday, January 13:

We don’t think of Sonny as a guy who has a whole lot of regrets. But he gives voice to one today. Meanwhile, his girlfriend, Nina, is about to receive a major shock…

Portia has been worried about Trina ever since the hook began attacking those in her circle. But the news her daughter shares will have her more concerned than ever!

What will Alexis do with the breaking news Spencer shares with her?

Diane heads to the PCPD in order to prove why it is that when smart people in this town find themselves in trouble, hers is the first number they call!

With several lives in the balance, it’s anyone’s guess who will survive. Kayla is fading fast, and Steve is by her side hoping to give her a reason to hang on. Wanting to keep Stephanie in the loop, Chad tries desperately to get in touch with her. Meanwhile, Marlena may be weak, but she’s still got the energy to try and talk some sense into Eric!

Wednesday, January 11:

Eric’s behavior of late has more than a few people worried. Nicole pays him a visit and wants to know exactly what’s going on!

Brady hopes that Chloe might be ready to give him another shot. Meanwhile, the bad news keeps coming for Kristen, who is told by EJ that she’s not welcome in the DiMera mansion! Of course, she has a bit of info she hopes might change his mind…

Tuesday, January 17:
