Weekly Spoilers: April 3-7, 2023

 

The Young and the Restless

Victor recruits an unlikely ally in his vendetta against Tucker, Summer rips a page from Phyllis’ book, Michael gets a (Sheila-sized?) shock, and “Shick” fans get taken for a walk down Memory Lane.

Week of April 3:

Young & Restless Rant! What happened to Phyllis?!? Plus, Tucker’s endgame, Elena’s doomed plan and more.

Monday, April 3:

We’d say that Tucker won’t know what hit him, but who are we kidding? As Victor and Victoria plot against him, we know damn well that if they succeed, they’re going to gloat from one end of Genoa City to the other, then double back to make sure they didn’t miss any opportunities to rub salt in the wound.

Who knew all these years that Nick would be the one person who could pull off this feat? Today, he does what we always thought was impossible and stops Leanna Love in her tracks.

Shocking news rocks Genoa City — and we have a sinking feeling that it won’t be good news about poor Phyllis.

Tuesday, April 4:

Nick and Sharon discuss their turbulent past, an endeavor that might be made easier if instead of the heartaches they’ve endured, they focused on Joshua Morrow’s memories of their topsy-turvy storylines. (

Devon and Abby’s relationship takes an unexpected turn. Wait, more unexpected than them actually having a relationship at all? Could Dominic be getting a baby brother or sister?

Guess Daniel won’t be calling Jeremy Dad anytime soon. Phyllis’ son takes his life in his hands when he threatens his dangerous new stepfather.

Wednesday, April 5:

Like mother, like daughter. Though Summer has certainly been more tolerant of Kyle’s mom than Phyllis, she finally loses patience with Diane.

Ordinarily, we’d suggest that if Chelsea’s saying something, it would be wise to tune it out. But she’s been on such a good path lately that when she shares words of wisdom with Billy, maybe he should actually listen.

Poor Elena. First she had to go on the defense against Imani, now she goes on the defense against Victoria. Is that the price one pays for having a boyfriend as sexy as Nate?

Thursday, April 6:

If Victor and Jack join forces, it can only be to send Tucker running for the hills. Does Ashley’s enamored ex stand a chance against an alliance of his enemies?

Michael receives a disturbing message. Could someone on The Bold and the Beautiful finally have decided, “You know what? Our friends in Genoa City might want to know that crazy Sheila Carter is still alive and kicking!”?

If you want something done right, you’ve gotta do it yourself. So Nikki takes matters into her own hands.

Friday, April 7:

Victor discovers deception at Newman Enterprises. Theoretically, this should at most cause him to yawn, because when isn’t there deception at Newman Enterprises? Being deceptive is practically in the employee handbook!

Somewhere, Neil and Dru have to be smiling as Devon and Lily reach an understanding.

Glutton for punishment that he is, Adam fights for his place in the Newman family. Why do we feel like he’d be a thousand times happier if he just tried to become a member of the Fisher-Baldwin family?

 

The Bold and the Beautiful

And now for something completely different! Just kidding. With Operation Bust Sheila over with, we suggest that things get back to normal. Or at least normal-ish. While Bill tells the scariest campfire story ever — i.e., what it was like to be with the madwoman — Hope frets anew about her relationship with Liam, and Thomas picks up where he left off dealing with his daddy issues. In particular, the issue of whether his daddy is going to pull out all the stops to fulfill his “destiny” with Brooke. Plus, Finn’s next move could have devastating consequences.

Week of April 3:

Monday, April 3:

Finn faces a life-or-death dilemma.

Taylor and Brooke wonder what Ridge’s return means for them.

Tuesday, April 4:

Steffy and Finn express their gratitude to one another.

Bill details his experience with Sheila to Liam, Hope and Wyatt.

Wednesday, April 5:

Thomas and Ridge come face to face for the first time since their estrangement.

Liam pays an unexpected visit to Hope.

Thursday, April 6:

Hope worries about her marriage.

Friday, April 7:

Hope creates a romantic night for Liam.

Taylor shuts down Thomas’ concern that Ridge will go back to Brooke.

 

 

General Hospital

As the Nurses Ball gets under way — complete with red carpet arrivals — tune in to find out who’ll wind up taking to the stage (not to mention whether they do so willingly or reluctantly)! Plus, look for a very special musical guest. Meanwhile, bad news is delivered, Sonny tries to reconnect with a loved one, and Spencer is on the receiving end of a shock!

Week of April 3:

Monday, April 3:

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Okay, fine, maybe Christmas has that one locked down. But can we call the kick-off of the Nurses Ball the second most wonderful time of the year?

As folks being arriving via the red carpet, Jordan has what can best be described as an awkward moment.

Sonny has been keeping Nina at arm’s length in order to keep her safe. But clearly missing her, he hopes to steal time with his lady love.

Brook Lynn is stuck living with her regret.

When Victor makes a prediction that’s rather ominous, is it connected to his mysterious master plan… and who might wind up in danger?

Michael and Willow find time to enjoy a little bit of a distraction.

Maurice Benard reveals how one little boy’s emotional letter changed everything for him: “After that… ”

Tuesday April 4:

Yesterday, everyone walked the red carpet. Today, the Nurses Ball begins. Make sure not to miss any of the performances!

Valentin’s been known to crank up the romance at the Nurses Ball. When he decides to make a romantic gesture, will it involve his taking the stage? And does it have anything to do with why Anna is feeling so alarmed?

A lot could be riding on the conversation Trina and Spencer have.

What pushes Brook Lynn to the point of feeling irate?

Wednesday, April 5:

Get ready for a very special musical guest who is sure to have the Nurses Ball crowd standing up and cheering.

Like all Cassadines, Valentin proves to be rather defiant. Not to be outdone, Victor decides the time is right to make a demand… but of whom? And while we’re speaking of the nefarious clan, young Spencer finds himself on the receiving end of a warning.

It looks as if Gladys is falling back into her shady ways. What makes us say that? She’s about to make a very sneaky move.

Thursday, April 6:

Never one to let the wool be pulled over her eyes, Laura finds herself getting suspicious.

Jordan could probably use a break, but instead, she’s about to receive some bad news.

Spencer receives a shock.

Who is in the kind of trouble that requires assistance from both Sonny and Sam? And does it have anything to do with the arrest that is made by the PCPD?

Something’s got Lucy wound up… and no good can come from her being frantic and a tad unhinged!

Spencer is about to get a shock.

Friday, April 7:

Someone is about to receive bad news, and it’s up to Carly and Drew to deliver it.

Is Portia right to be concerned?

Being a cop and all, it’s not unusual for Dante to be called to the scene of a crime. But given his connections to practically everyone in Port Charles, will this involve someone he knows?

How will Willow react to what Michael has to tell her?

Joss does her best to try and reassure someone. But will her words have the desired effect?

 

 

Days of Our Lives on Peacock

The bloom may be off the rose where Eric and Sloan’s relationship is concerned, while Tripp decides it’s time to make a move on Wendy. Meanwhile, Megan has a new keeper, Bo is disappointed by his sister, and it sounds as if Alex is about to make the kind of promise he may not be able to keep… and to Maggie, of all people!

Week of April 3:

Monday, April 3:

Brady reuniting with Marlena following her (latest) resurrection should be a wonderful, joyous moment. So why don’t things go as planned?

It’s the very essence of good versus evil as Steve and Hope join forces to confront Megan. Meanwhile, Harris has a long talk with Andrew in which he opens up about his concerns.

Stephanie is going to be blown away when she answers the phone and hears her mom’s voice on the other end!

Tuesday, April 4:

Anyone who has ever befriended someone with a penchant for gossip knows that sooner or later, you wind up on the wrong end of their poisonous whispers. Sadly, Gwen is only now realizing that, thanks to Leo’s comments about Xander and Chloe!

Is Sloan behind the note that Paulina found? Or does Chanel’s mom have someone else out there issuing threats in her general direction? We may have clarity on that after the two women exchange words…

Rachel proves to be her mother’s daughter by pushing all of Chloe’s buttons.

Wednesday, April 5:

What with the fact that she has eyes and all, Talia thinks there might be something brewing between Jada and Rafe. But can she convince her sister to act on it?

Stefan is likely to have almost too much fun as he messes with Nicole and EJ. Later, he takes a little break from his new hobby to have a secret (read: sexy!) rendezvous with Gabi.

Paulina offers Tripp a little free advice regarding his romantic future.

Thursday, April 6:

EJ may not know whether revenge is a dish best served cold, hot or tepid, but he does know that he finally has the goods on Gabi and Stefan.

Fresh off his talk with Paulina, Tripp decides it’s time to make his move. But will Wendy be open to his advance?

Eric opens up to Abe about his feelings for Sloan… including the fact that he’s starting to question whether they have a future. Ironically, at that very moment, their respective ladies are engaged in yet another verbal sparring match.

Friday, April 7:

Is Hope really moving on with Harris? It sure looks that way based on the sparks which fly between them in Greece. (Wait, isn’t someone else we know in Greece… such as Hope’s not-so-late husband, Bo?)

Something tells us Andrew will be happy to hand custody of Megan over to Shawn!

Alex tells Maggie that he’s super-close to signing a deal which will be huge for Titan. But can he really deliver on this promise, or is he trying to buy time?

Bo gets a bit of bad news when Kayla says she won’t be able to help him achieve his goal.

Weekly Spoilers: March 27-31, 2023

 

The Young and the Restless

Somebody cue up Kool & the Gang! Your Genoa City favorites celebrate good times — come on! Mind you, the bicentennial to-do isn’t all fancy clothes and champagne toasts; there’s also drama galore, courtesy of a party crasher, a jaw-dropping announcement and a face-off that’s been a long time coming!

Week of March 27:

Young & Restless rant: Phyllis and Jeremy mega-twist?! Plus, gala highlights, including the one that brought Candace to tears!

Monday, March 27:

Phyllis causes a stir, Leanna Love crashes the party, and Nikki and Victor honor Neil Winters.

Neil jazz lounge Y&R

Guess the bicentennial eleganza extravaganza doesn’t crash and burn, because Victor and Nikki celebrate a success. Or maybe they’re just cheering the fact that they’ve gone another whole 12 months in a row without breaking up!

Did not know this was in Jill’s job description, but OK. Apparently now, in addition to being a business whirlwind, she’s also a relationship counselor as she works to repair the rift between Devon and Lily.

Jack is shocked by a party crasher’s arrival at the gala. But who? Does the show have a surprise guest star in store than even we didn’t know about ahead of time?

Eric Braeden settles a great debate for his castmates, as many weigh in with one responding, “I’m offended, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.”

Tuesday, March 28:

They’ve come a long way since their days as lovers! Now, Victor seizes an opportunity to strike a deal with Jill.

Together again! Christine reunites with BFF Nina. Although the get-together could take a turn for the terrifying if a little bit of behind-the-scenes foreshadowing brings back into the picture a nightmare that they both thought was over.

Phyllis and Diane’s feud reaches its breaking point. But Red may come to regret taking things to this extreme once she hears what her nemesis and boo Jack have to say…

Wednesday, March 29:

Make way at the bar, because people are gonna want drinks and a whole lot of them! Genoa City is shocked by Jack and Diane’s announcement.

They say you can always go home, and Danny and Gina are here to prove them right with their returns to Genoa City.

Shades of Hilary! Amanda makes the kind of entrance for which her late twin sister was known: grand.

Thursday, March 30:

Victor is suspicious of Phyllis. Smart move, considering the lengths to which she’s been willing to go to run his “late” wife Diane out of Genoa City.

Even as he attempts to sweep her off her feet, Tucker keeps Ashley on her toes. Here’s what Eileen Davidson has to say about what’s coming up.

As Devon and Amanda discuss unfinished business, all we can think is, “What unfinished business?” Because at the point when he was shagging Abby on the stairs, we started considering all of the former couple’s business well and truly finished!

Friday, March 31:

If it’s not one man poacher, it’s another, huh, Elena? Finally, Nate’s significant other loses patience with Victoria.

This can not go well for Devon. Of all the people to whisper in his sister’s ear, it’s woman scorned Amanda who gives Lily unsolicited advice.

Daniel receives startling news. Which may be terrific… or terrible. Ya just never can predict in Genoa City!

 

The Bold and the Beautiful

Ding-dong, the witch is… Well, maybe not dead, but it sure sounds like Sheila is going to be caught dead to rights. Is Bill and Ridge’s bonkers scheme to bring down the madwoman finally going to have the desired result? Perhaps, especially considering the gathering with which the Forresters and Logans finish out the week.

Week of March 27:

General Hospital

Week of March 27:

Monday, March 27:

Thanks to her friendship with Ava, Trina’s become pretty good at dealing with different personalities. But today’s attempt to run interference could be a real challenge! Meanwhile, Spencer is downright flabbergasted… but by what?

Although Laura and Liz love each other deeply, their heart-to-heart today could get a little awkward given some recent events concerning Nikolas.

Dex takes time from his busy schedule of plotting to bring down Sonny in order to check in with girlfriend Josslyn.

Marshall takes a moment to not only feel grateful but voice his appreciation.

It’s the moment Emme Rylan (ex-Lulu) has been waiting for — and the ABC soap vet was so excited she shared it on video.

Tuesday March 28:

Something’s pushing all of Lucy’s buttons. Anyone want to bet her outrage is related to the Nurses Ball?

Cameron offers Spencer a bit of advice, but will he listen?

Elizabeth is in for a heck of a shock, while Scott has a revealing conversation with Laura, the former love of his life.

Diane is there when Robert needs an assist. Dare we hope sparks fly between them?

Port Charles bids an emotional good-bye to Epiphany, as the show honors the late Sonya Eddy.

Thursday, March 30:

Selina has information to offer… but anyone who knows anything about this sly minx knows she doesn’t just give something of value away!

Ava has been doing a pretty good job of keeping herself on the straight-and-narrow of late (aside from that whole “tried to kill Nikolas” thing). But today, she’s going to have a run-in with an enemy!

When Spencer takes a meeting with Victor, will this put the older man’s plan one step closer to fruition?

Well, this doesn’t sound good: Dex makes what can only be described as a “gruesome” discovery. Could this mean curtains for someone?

Friday, March 31:

Is it wrong that when we hear that Lucy will be in a frantic state today, we kinda look forward to it? Sorry, but the more worked up Lucy gets, the more fun she is to watch!

Spencer is having some serious second thoughts.

Off her encounter with an enemy yesterday, today finds Ava taking a meeting with a far friendlier face: Austin.

Well, folks, it’s official: Hell has frozen over. How else to explain that Nina and Carly manage to set aside their differences? (Something tells us this can only be related to Sonny… )

When there’s a major setback, Maxie and Felicia work to get things back on track as quickly as possible.

 

Days of Our Lives on Peacock

It’s good news all around as Kayla and Bo are reunited, as are Marlena, Eric and Belle, and Stephanie learns that her mom is alive! Plus, the drama continues as Talia makes an admission to Chanel, EJ outs Stefan and Gabi, and Leo’s latest gossip column puts Chloe in the spotlight.

Week of March 27:

Monday, March 27:

It’s a family reunion years in the making as Kayla and Bo are finally reunited.

Nicole and EJ’s latest scheme moves into high gear as they set Stefan and Gabi up for a fall.

Wednesday, March 29:

EJ and Nicole’s fairly simple plan is ready to be sprung today. All they have to do is tip off Li so that he can find his wife in Stefan’s arms…

Off yesterday’s conversation with Paulina, Jada and Rafe bring Sloan in for questioning. Meanwhile, Paulina suddenly suffers a panic attack! What’s got her so freaked out?

Things get pretty heated between exes Nicole and Eric when they wind up discussing one another’s current romantic situations.

Thursday, March 30:

As Leo’s latest trash-talking column hits Salem, Chloe prepares for Brady’s inevitable reaction. Meanwhile, Rachel proves to be her mother’s daughter when she heads to Statesville in order to get up in her mama’s face.

You’d think Gwen might be able to think up this particular scenario on her own, but apparently she needs Leo to suggest that she use one guy (Alex) to make another (Xander) jealous. Come on, Gweny, that’s Schemer 101!

This could be a big moment for Wendy and Tripp as they dance on that line between friendship and something more…

Friday, March 31:

It’s a big day for emotional family moments. First, Belle and Eric are at long last reunited with their back-from-the-dead (again) mom, Marlena. Then, Steve gets to tell Stephanie the very good news that Kayla is actually alive.

Weekly Spoilers: March 20-24, 2023

 

The Young and the Restless

You’re invited as all of Genoa City prepares for the blowout to end all blowouts. But not everyone’s thoughts are of party favors and champagne toasts. Phyllis inches ever closer to disaster as she continues to plot against Diane, Devon discovers that he’s fallen out of the frying pan and landed in the fire, and Elena finds a new thorn in her side.

Week of March 20:

Young & Restless rant: Genoa City’s masked gala sets the scene for murder… Plus, who will win the battle for Tucker’s company, and who will bed Nate?

Monday, March 20:

If Nikki enlists Traci’s help, it can only be to plan the party of the millennium. Or at least the party of the bicentennial.

Fair’s fair. After being targeted by Phyllis since rising from the grave, Diane turns the tables and sets a trap for her archenemy.

See, Devon? This is why we always say to hug it out. After weeks of fighting with Lily, his feud takes a shocking turn. And not shocking as in they finally take our advice and hug it out, either!

Tuesday, March 21:

Victor presents Jill with an intriguing offer — which we find even more intriguing, knowing the spoiler that’s in store for Wednesday!

In desperate need of a hobby, Audra pushes Elena’s buttons. We were going to suggest needlepoint, but sure. Pushing Elena’s buttons works, too.

If Devon thought that he was in the hottest of messes before, just wait. As he is pushed into a corner, he may find himself looking for a way out that doesn’t exist!

Wednesday, March 22:

Phyllis, seemingly out to embody the term “playing with fire,” conspires with Jeremy against Diane. How much longer can this go on before Red gets burned?

Knowing no other way to arrive on the scene, Jill makes a grand entrance. Somehow, we suspect that Katherine would approve.

The Abbott mansion hasn’t been the same since she left all those years ago. Now, at last, Mamie Johnson returns to Genoa City.

Thursday, March 23:

Consider them the host and hostess with the mostest! Victor and Nikki welcome guests to the party of the year to celebrate Genoa City’s bicentennial.

Friday, March 24:

Oooh, we see flashbacks in our future as Victor and Nikki pay tribute to the past,.

Leanna Love returns to her former stomping grounds. Let’s hope that, as was always the case previously, where she goes, trouble follows!

 

The Bold and the Beautiful

We’re not sure who’s playing a more dangerous game? On one hand, we have Sheila, hiding the fact that Deacon fills her needs in a way that Dollar Bill’s big, big bank account just can’t, considering taking a huge leap of faith with her lackluster loverboy. On the other, we have Hope connecting with a once- and maybe still-obsessed Thomas in a way that can only be described as “questionable.”

Week of March 20:

Monday, March 20:

Sheila panics that Bill is on to her affair with Deacon.

Bill reflects on his night at the beach with Sheila.

General Hospital

Laura has to deal with an unwelcome visitor, Lucy does what Lucy tends to do (meaning act impulsively), and Maxie has an offer to make someone. Meanwhile, Spencer proves once again that he’s happily ensconced in Trina’s corner. But what will happen when he must figure out his next move?

Week of March 20:

Monday, March 20:

Hey, just because two people are in love and very much enjoy one another’s company doesn’t mean they can’t occasionally see things from different perspectives… which is what Valentin and Anna are about to prove!

Lucy is nothing if not impulsive. But when she makes a daring move, will she wind up putting herself and others in danger?

Laura Wright sets the bar too high for her co-star to reach: Nope, “I can’t beat that.” However, there was one major thing they agreed on.

Sonny may find himself having to decide between two not-so-great options.

After everything Willow’s been through of late, we have to think that whatever it is she requests will surely be granted, right? I mean, who could say no to her at this point? And does this request have anything to do with the conversation Michael winds up having with Brook Lynn?

Wow! At 21, the son of Vanessa Marcil looks just like her and his father.

Tuesday March 21:

Chase and Willow have gone from friends to lovers to husband and wife and back again. In other words, she knows him pretty well and is likely to offer pretty solid advice. But will he listen?

Maxie’s the kind of gal who is always there when a friend needs a hand. But who will she be helping today?

Drew thinks he might have the knowledge to help someone out, assuming they’ll listen to his expert opinion.

Dante has a few concerns. Fortunately, he’s not the type to sit on them, so he raises the red flag.

Michael is in for a pretty big shock!

Sean Kanan (ex-A.J.) opens up about a painful chapter from his past and explains why he feels the need to be totally “honest…”

Wednesday, March 22:

Elizabeth might just pace a hole in the carpet as she anxiously awaits a bit of news.

Will Jordan provide Nina the answers she seeks?

Ever since things went wonky at Curtis and Portia’s wedding, he and Trina have found themselves dealing with one awkward run-in after another. Today will be no different!

Esme has to do some serious thinking about the options which lay before her. Will she ultimately make the best decision… and if so, for whom?

Brook Lynn has to lay all her cards on the table.

Thursday, March 23:

Maxie approaches Cody with an offer he probably shouldn’t refuse. Of course, that doesn’t mean he won’t. (Let’s face it… the boy hasn’t always made the best decisions since showing up in Port Charles!)

Sasha has a surprise for Gladys.

What’s got Alexis so shaken up?

After all the support Portia offered to Marshall, it’s probably not surprising that he’s now serving as her biggest cheerleader.

When Trina needs a bit of reassurance, Spencer is there to provide it.

Friday, March 24:

Esme can’t help but think that if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Sonny leaves no question as to exactly where he stands.

Spencer tries to figure out what his best strategy might be in moving forward.

Laura receives a visit from just about the last person she wants to see. (Anybody else suspect Cyrus might darken her doorstep again?)

Cameron runs into Josslyn. Hopefully, this time it won’t be in the presence of a half-dressed Dex, cause the last time that happened the whole thing was awkward as… well, you know.

 

Days of Our Lives on Peacock

While Chanel and Paulina score a major victory, Hope learns something about Harris. Plus, Bo struggles with his inner self, Ben and Ciara receive exciting news, Brady plays dirty against Kristen, and Rolf has the perfect way to test out his newly finished serum!

Week of March 20:

Monday, March 20:

Viewers of Beyond Salem: Chapter Two will recall that when first we met Harris he was working for Megan Hathaway. When today Hope makes a discovery about the guy, might it give her reason to think that he’s once again doing the she-devil’s handiwork? (What’s Harris really up to? Portrayer Steve Burton reveals what brings the character back…)

Kate just got back from “heaven” and it looks like she could be making a return trip. Why? Because Megan orders that Roman’s wife be killed!

After she and Kayla try and get answers from Dr. Rolf — and good luck with that, by the way — Marlena tries desperately to reach out to her beloved John.

Tuesday, March 21:

Here’s hoping that when the mother/daughter duo of Channel and Paulina manage to score a victory over Sloan, they do a victory dance. Because who wouldn’t want to see that?!?

Li’s latest idea when it comes to coming between Stefan and Gabi? Keeping the two from crossing paths! Meanwhile, Stefan may not even have time to try and connect with Gabi, seeing as he’s busy being manipulated by Nicole and EJ!

Jada admits to not understanding a big decision made by her sister, Talia.

Wednesday, March 22:

When you’re dealing with someone like Kristen, sometimes you have to be willing to play dirty. Today, Brady proves that he’s willing to roll around in the proverbial mud if it means he can get the goods on Rachel’s mom!

They say that the best surprise is no surprise… especially when it’s the kind of unpleasant one heading Paulina’s way!

Chloe has some not-so-nice things to say about Rachel. Unfortunately, she utters them in the presence of the town’s literal gossip columnist, Leo!

Xander and Alex put up their dukes and fight over Gwen… which leaves us to wonder how this woman, who has done some pretty awful things, has the two hottest guys in town coming to literal blows over her!

Thursday, March 23:

It ain’t easy having your brain manipulated, something many of Stefano’s victims learned over the years. This time around, it’s Bo who is trying to get his head screwed on straight thanks to Megan, aka The Phoenix’s daughter!

Megan is not the sort of woman whom it’s wise to disappoint. So when she demands that Rolf get her the results she’s looking for, he’d best figure out how to come through!

Harris is ready to prove his feelings for Hope. How? By undergoing a potentially deadly treatment!

Chad’s struggling with moving on from his beloved Abigail. Will a bit of advice from Abe, who knows a thing or two about loss, help?

Friday, March 24:

Not only are we getting a visit from Ben and Ciara, but it looks as if they’re about to receive some exciting news! Might Baby Bo — as opposed to the full-grown version — be getting a sibling?

Rolf has a new serum he wants to test out, which of course means he needs a guinea pig. With that in mind, he wakes up Kayla from her forced slumber. Will she become his latest victim?

Bo has only one thing on his mind: Convincing Megan to give him his freedom! Meanwhile, Steve and John get much closer to locating Megan… which could also reunite them with the loves of their lives!

Weekly Spoilers: March 13-17, 2023

 

The Young and the Restless

Spring must be about to be sprung, because things are certainly heating up while on one end of the canvas Phyllis is playing with fire, on the other Victoria is just asking to get burned. Plus, the tangled web in which Adam, Sally and Nick are enmeshed becomes even more tangled.

Week of March 13:

Y&R Restless Rant: Phyllis is up to her old tricks — look out [Spoiler]! Plus, gearing up for Adam vs. Tucker (and/or Victoria), Summer’s scheme, what Diane’s dream means, and more!

Monday, March 13:

Summer enacts a plan to break up Nick and Sally, Chelsea confides in Chloe, and Adam and Nick hold peace talks.

Adding a new verse to a little ditty about Jack and Diane, the happy couple tell Kyle about their engagement. Which, if you ask us, seems like a questionable move if they want to stay happy.

Though it may be too late to start getting wise, Elena is suspicious of Victoria. Has the doc already lost her man… if not to business, then to his business associate?

You can all but feel the tension mounting as Phyllis puts her plan in motion. Will she live to regret ever hatching her plot? Will she live, period? Or is somebody else likelier to meet their maker?

Chicago Fire shocker! [Spoiler]’s return is set to shake up Firehouse 51 later this season!

Tuesday, March 14:

As if we didn’t know that this was what friends are for! Lauren calls Phyllis’ bluff. But will her efforts be too little, too late to alter the fateful course of action that’s been set in motion?

Facing an altogether uncertain future, Sally is haunted by her past. We doubt that it’s the part of her past that included kidnapping her ex’s girlfriend and pretending to be dying in hopes of getting him to knock her up, but… hope springs eternal.

Victoria has a proposition for Nate. Which, given the way that things have been going between these two, might well translate to “Victoria propositions Nate.”

Michelle Stafford finds a sweet photo to prove to her son that he’s not adopted.

Wednesday, March 15:

Victor makes his least favorite kind of discovery — the shocking kind. Will the Black Knight find himself staring down a new personal battle or professional one? Wait, is there any difference between the two with him?

Of all the things that Nick could give Adam — a bro hug, a Frappuccino, his favorite adjective from the Word of the Day calendar that Phyllis gave him during their last marriage — he chooses to give the black sheep of the Newman family a painful reminder.

The Bold and the Beautiful

Whatcha lookin’ at, huh, Deacon? We suspect that it’s trouble with a capital T.

On top of that, poor Douglas is once again plopped in the hot seat, and Liam… Dear Liam had better have one of his patented reaction shots on tap, because he’s in for yet another rude awakening.

General Hospital

Danger is getting ever closer to Sonny, who may just find himself in a very familiar situation with arguably his favorite ex-wife. Meanwhile, Spencer grows increasingly frustrated, and things could get trick for Joss and Dex!

Week of March 13:

Monday, March 13:

Chicago Fire Shocker! [Spoiler]’s return is set to shake up Firehouse 51 later this season!

Will a talk with grandma Bobbie give Josslyn new perspective on her life? Heaven knows hooker-turned-nurse Bobbie has a whole lot of life experience with which to guide the younger woman!

Sonny is no stranger to bad situations, but could the danger he finds himself in today be more than he can handle?

Cody has a close call.

The usually unflappable Victor comes into possession of info which will definitely come as a surprise.

When it comes to creating a distraction and running interference, nobody does it better than Carly, as she’s about to demonstrate!

Patience is a virtue that Lucy has never really possessed, as becomes increasingly evident.

When called upon to defend his actions, Cody is prepared to do exactly that.

Maxie and Brook Lynn can’t help but be suspicious.

Wednesday, March 15:

To whom will Kristina open up… and about what?

Spencer, Joss and Trina are about to be thrown for a loop. Good thing they’re in it together, right?

Thursday, March 16:

Nina is given a reality check… which sadly, is the kind you can’t actually cash. Will she listen to the wise words being laid upon her?

Chase is there when someone needs a bit of comforting.

Spencer’s been just barely suppressing his ever-increasing feelings of rage lately, and what happens today definitely will not make the situation any better. Meanwhile, Trina lays out her plan.

Obrecht admits that she’s got regrets. Of course, longtime viewers will probably wonder exactly which of her many misdeeds it is that have left her feeling this way.

Friday, March 17:

Robert and Diane put their heads together as they noodle over a case. (Are we the only ones hoping that noodling might turn to canoodling? We love these two together!)

Nina sits down to catch up with Phyllis, who will no doubt have a few thoughts about the latest developments in the blonde’s life.

When Carly and Sonny find themselves in a very familiar situation, might old feelings come bubbling to the surface?

Joss and Dex once again find themselves at odds. Is this relatively new pairing doomed?

Valentin offers his sympathy.

Forget hearts and flowers. Li knows that the way to win Gabi over is to play upon her driving ambition… and that’s exactly what he’s about to do!

EJ and Stefan decide it’s time to lay all their cards on the table. But is there even a table big enough to hold them all?

The Bold and the Beautiful

Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble, soon the drama will be doubled! Just as Liam is sowing the seeds of mistrust in Bill’s head, a pair of illicit lovebirds surrenders to lust. Why do we have the strangest feeling that this is all going to end in a scream, a gunshot, tears… and/or all of the above?

Monday, March 6:

Forbidden lovers give in to their passion.

The Young and the Restless

Can you keep a secret? Then you’re doing better than our friends in Genoa City! Nate finds out one, and Daniel lets out another. On top of that, Nick drops a truth bomb on his brother, Summer plans to drop a bomb-bomb on his baby mama, and Nikki has news that’s destined to make jaws drop.

Week of March 6:

Y&R Restless Rant! Young & Restless has a lot to make ‘write’ where ‘Teriah’ and Sharon are concerned. Plus, Phyllis’s bender is bad news for Diane, Devon vs. Lily, and much, much more!

Monday, March 6:

Phyllis makes a dangerous decision, no doubt having to do with the lengths to which she’s willing to go to send Diane packing. Because let’s be real: 99.9 percent of the things she’s doing these days revolve around her nemesis.

Nick gives Adam a reality check. Hopefully, in writing, because the black sheep of the Newman family tends to have some difficulty maintaining a tight grip on reality.

As Billy shares words of wisdom with Kyle, all we can think is, “No. No. Just don’t.” Kyle, take advice from anyone except Billy, a character who’s made so many boneheaded moves that we gathered them all up in a photo gallery of his biggest missteps.

Tuesday, March 7:

Can’t wait to watch Summer confront Nick. If the argument doesn’t include the line, “Of all the women in all the world, you had to pick Sally?!?” we’ll be disappointed.

This can’t be good — well, not for anyone but Nate. When he discovers a secret, we can only assume that he will use it to his advantage.

Sharon gives Billy a warning — and not about offering Kyle advice (as needed as that may be!). Rather, she cautions her onetime lover with regard to her onetime romantic rival, Chelsea.

Wednesday, March 8:

Since it’s a day of the week that ends in -day, Victor strikes a deal. But will he simultaneously strike a blow?

OK, you’ve piqued our interest, Daniel. What will it be when he reveals a secret?

Though Devon questions Tucker’s sincerity, we can’t imagine why. Daddy Dearest has shown his true colors so often, you’d have to be wearing two-ply blinders not to have seen them!

Thursday, March 9:

Taking a break from locking horns with Jack over Diane, Ashley and Billy share a difference of opinion. The question, we suppose, is how loudly they’ll share it!

Continuing her journey of reinvention, Chelsea takes on a new project. Fingers crossed she’s really ready for it.

Friday, March 10:

Stop the presses! Nikki makes a shocking announcement. We can only wonder if it will be half as definitive as the one that Melody Thomas Scott recently made.

Taking a page from her mother’s book and not just saying, “What will be will be,” Summer strategizes against Sally. What could possibly go wrong, right?

Billy receives unexpected news. And as long as it isn’t, “You’re getting back into podcasting,” we’re 100-percent here for it.
