R.I.P. Arleen Sorkin (DOOL's Calliope Jones Bradford)



https://soaphub.com/days-of-our-lives/news-days/beloved-days-of-our-lives-actress-arleen-sorkin-has-passed-away-at-67

Our hearts go out to Arleen Sorkin's (DOOL-Calliope Jones Bradford) family as the actress, 67, passes away!

I fondly remember the scenes between Leann Hunley (Anna DiMera) and Arleen Sorkin (Calliope) and her zany marriage to Eugene "Gene" Bradford, or "Eug" (John De Lancie) as Calliope fondly referred to him.

All hell breaks loose as Nick and Sharon put their heads together and she makes a choice she may ultimately regret, Adam is set on the warpath anew. Plus, he’s got Sally laying down ground rules on one side and Billy gloating on the other. All in all, not a great week for the black sheep of the Newman family. Who else is headed for a headache?

Thursday, August 31:

Perhaps the above spoiler is tied to the game-changing decision that Victor makes at Newman Enterprises. And by “perhaps,” we mean “surely.”

Nikki may have a knack for picking the right person for the right job. How can we tell? She gives Audra a risky assignment.

Stop us if you’ve heard this one before, but… Jack and Ashley call a truce . . . again?

Adam’s bad mood is sure to get worse when Billy pushes his buttons.



The Bold and the Beautiful

From the looks of things, the show is pivoting away from the love pentagon that has dominated the screen recently to return its focus to Sheila, Sheila, Sheila. As son Finn works overtime to mend his marriage to Steffy, the madwoman of the hour is dealt a terrible shock when she and loverboy Deacon receive unexpected visitors.

Week of August 28:

Monday, August 28:

Elizabeth and Finn can only grow closer when she’s the one he turns to for comfort.

Will Stella be able to talk some sense into Curtis? (Nobody else has so good luck!)

Kristina turns to her mom… but is it for personal advice or something of a more legal nature?

Carly does her best to pressure Diane. (Maybe offering her a new pair of Cartullo pumps will help?)

Lucy’s been more patient than we’d ever have imagined, but now, she’s ready for Martin to cough up some answers… or else!

Tuesday, August 29:

Erica Kane’s favorite husband, Jackson, makes another trip from Pine Valley to Port Charles. Might he give Tad… er, sorry, might he give Martin a little competition for Lucy’s hand?

Brook Lynn puts someone on blast.

Chase puts forth a proposition.

Spencer takes Alexis into his confidence.

Usually able to manipulate things to her favor, Ava is beyond frustrated.

Olivia’s tried to be as accepting as possible of “Eddie,” but that doesn’t mean she won’t try and jog his memory!

Having spent time in a courtroom, Chase knows a thing or two about how to make a strong argument, which is what he’ll do today. Brook Lynn, however, is still having doubts.

Josslyn opens up to her mom about recent events.

Nina finally gets to spend a little time with her beloved grandson, Wiley.



Days of Our Lives on Peacock

As we get closer to the funeral for Victor, a new mystery begins to unfold on Days of Our Lives. Soon, everyone has questions regarding a mystery man, including John and Marlena, who work together to try and piece together the clues. Gabi and Stefan, too, find themselves doing some sleuthing, while Dimitri stands to lose everything unless he goes along with a desperate plan!

Rafe and Jada are surprised by Paulina’s news. Meanwhile, Steve offers his pal Abe a bit of advice where his wife is concerned.

Back in town to deal with the aftermath of Victor’s tragic passing, the last thing Sonny probably needs is a run-in with Leo. But that’s exactly what he’s going to get.

With issues arising regarding the validity of his marriage, Dimitri has to think — or should we say scheme? — on his feet!

Guilt is a powerful emotion, and it’s rocking Alex to the core in the wake of the death of his “Uncle Vic.”

Gabi and Stefan put on their investigative caps and try to dig up some answers.

Thursday, August 31:

Gabi and Stefan decide that they’re the only ones who can dig up the truth. But might putting their noses where it doesn’t belong lead to big trouble?

Leo has a plan that he thinks can solve all of his lover’s problems, but Dimitri is — perhaps wisely — skeptical.

Belle tries convincing Brady that he shouldn’t press charges.

Xander is in for a pretty big shock regarding Philip.

Friday, September 1:

Weekly Spoilers: August 21-25, 2023

 


The Young and the Restless

Kyle and Summer decide the fate of their marriage; Mariah and Tessa face their first big parental dilemma; Nick and Sharon are forced to ask themselves, “What have we gotten ourselves into?”; and a certain someone contemplates opening their broken heart anew.

Week of August 21:

Monday, August 21:

With Connor pleading to live with his grandma and get away from Genoa City, Chelsea, and Adam are forced to make a tough decision.

As Chance considers a career change, we can’t help but worry: Who will police his insane town if it loses the only detective on the canvas?

When Daniel and Heather discuss their past, will they be content to leave it there… or will a door be opened to — sorry, Lily — the future?

Tuesday, August 22:

Having not jerked anyone around in a nanosecond, Victor gives Nick and Adam an(other) ultimatum.

It’s all fun and games in the hotel suite until Audra compares notes with Kyle. Could they be coming to the conclusion that they are in, at the very least, a situationship?

Speaking of Audra, Zuleyka Silver reveals the character that the conniver is — or should be! — most afraid of.

Wising up to the fact that she may have made a mistake in trusting her loverboy — gee, ya think? — Victoria tests Nate.

Wednesday, August 23:

Nick and Sally discuss their future as a couple. Will they decide that they want one?

Considering how enthusiastically Kyle has thrown himself into his affair with Audra when he and Summer reach a decision about their marriage, it likely will be that they no longer have one.

“Teriah” have been parents for all of 10 minutes, and already, they are being put to the test. Will Mariah and Tessa pass with flying colors?

Thursday, August 24:

Victor reveals a new game plan. Among the aspects that it will not include: minding his own business and letting his kids live their own lives.

Oooh! It’s gonna feel like old times when Victoria gives former stepmother Ashley the third degree.

So much for Jack and Ashley’s truce, huh? Jack and Billy plot their next move against Tucker, which is not going to sit well with his missus.

Friday, August 25:

And they say romance is dead — ha. Victor and Nikki strategize against their opponents but have a difference of opinion about the best plan of attack. Way to keep the marriage spicy, kids!

Who could have ever seen this coming? Nick and Sharon struggle working with Adam.

Elena moves on from Nate. The question is, who is the lucky guy toward whom the beautiful doctor will be moving?



The Bold and the Beautiful

We’d say that Liam doubles down on his pursuit of Steffy, but he passed that point weeks ago. By now, he’s probably… quadrupling down? Is that even a thing? In any case, he continues his full-court press to reclaim the ex that this time, he’s super-mega-totally sure is the wife that he wants now and forever. (Sure, Jan.) In other developments, Ridge and Eric find themselves on the same page but reading from different books, and R.J., no doubt aware of the “tremendous” influence he wields, takes a side.

Week of August 21:

Monday, August 21:

Anna’s suspicions could put her one step closer to uncovering the truth.

With so many enemies both at Pentonville and beyond its walls, it’s no wonder that Drew feels threatened.

Olivia’s been desperate for her beloved Ned to return, but she’s about to see “Eddie” in a whole new light.

Dex could wind up in deep trouble if his cover is blown.

They may no longer be married, but nothing can sever the tie that exists between Sonny and Carly. And once again, he’s about to come through for her.

Monday, August 22:

Finn and Alexis face their demons together by attending an AA meeting.

Those who still miss Liz and Franco (including us) may get at least a little bit of a thrill when she and Austin work together on a patient.

We — like Gregory — might get a bit more information about his condition today.

Dante tells Anna exactly how it is, whether she wants to hear it or not!

Spencer opens up to Trina.

Maxie and Lucy wind up having to deliver a bit of bad news.

Dante and Cody may be longtime best pals, but that’s not going to stop Sam from calling her beau’s friend out!

Friday, August 25:

Something has definitely gotten under Brook Lynn’s skin, ’cause she is positively livid!

To whom will Alexis turn with her latest round of questions?

Following Sam’s difficult questions, Cody pleads his case with her.

Nina is not pleased with Sonny, but how will he respond to being called out?

Kristina has something she needs to get off her chest, so she shares it with Willow.



Days of Our Lives on Peacock

Xander is finally about to find out the truth — or at least part of it — when he and Sarah come face to face. Meanwhile, locals continue to reflect upon the loss of Victor, Melinda finds herself in a power position, and Dimitri’s sham of a marriage might just come crashing down around him!

Week of August 21:

Monday, August 21:

Residents of Salem continue to find their minds wandering toward Victor and his larger-than-life presence. Not surprisingly, Nicole can’t help but think about their incredibly turbulent time together!

Believing that Bo’s shooting set in motion a tragic series of events that led to Victor’s death, Shawn can’t help but blame himself.

When Melinda finds herself in a legal quagmire, she turns to Sloan for an assist.

The cat’s out of the proverbial bag when Xander runs into Sarah and, being the bright guy he is, immediately realizes she’s pregnant!

Tuesday, August 22:

Sloan is all set to confess… when her attempt to do so is suddenly knocked off track! Meanwhile, Melinda now knows what Sloan’s hiding… but will she keep it to herself?

Li is all set to crank up the romance. But will his date feel the same way?

Ava’s sketchy past will no doubt be mentioned when her reliability is called into question.

Tripp and Wendy are about to make a very, very big decision.

Eyebrows are raised thanks to Melinda’s rather suspicious behavior.

When Ava is rocked by fears, Harris is there to provide her comfort and calm her down.

Friday, August 25:

Two people find themselves receiving rather unexpected visitors.

Here’s a bit of irony: Melinda takes it upon herself to share relationship advice with Sloan.

Sarah is about to admit that she told Xander a big ol’ lie. But to whom is she confessing this sin?

Week of August 28:

Monday, August 28:

Forget coffee. Chloe kicks off her Monday with a real shocker when she sees Philip, alive and well! (Although really, should this be a surprise given that practically everyone she knows has resurrected at some point?)

Tuesday, August 29:

If Chloe thought it was shocking to learn that Philip is alive, imagine how Brady will feel! After all, he was accused of murdering the guy.

Tracy once again butts heads with “Eddie Maine,” whom she’s had just about enough of!



Days of Our Lives on Peacock

The next two weeks will be incredibly emotional for Days of Our Lives fans.

Good luck slithering out of this one, Nate the Snake! Victoria’s loverboy takes the hot seat — and the temperature is rising.

Week of August 7:

Monday, August 7:

Better late than never, Victoria examines her relationship with Nate. Has she let a fox into the hen house? (Er, duh!)

Tucker and Audra discuss a secret from their past. We’re guessing they’re already anticipating Adam’s ruthless next move. In fact, we’d bet the ranch on it!

Heather may be about to find out that the Bug can sting when she tries to undermine Christine.

Tuesday, August 8:

Phyllis stops at nothing to protect Summer. Well, “nothing” except have the foresight to predict what faking her death would do to her daughter’s life.

Abby targets Diane as perhaps the key to getting her mother and uncle to kiss and make up.

Audra turns to Nate for guidance. If it doesn’t go well, we may be headed for this bombshell being dropped.

Prepare for Diane to pop corks galore: Finally, Phyllis pays the price for her crimes.

Chance helps Summer look forward to a fresh start. “Me, too?” we can just hear Sharon asking. “Can I have one, too?”

Another day, another big change: Billy takes on a new role.

Friday, August 11:

It’s sure to seem like old times when Sharon gives Adam a warning. The only question is, what is she warning her ex about?

Daniel 2.0 has a spine of steel. So it’s no surprise that he finds the wherewithal to stand his ground.



General Hospital

Someone’s about to make Maxie a very intriguing offer, while Olivia will go from trying to talk sense into “Eddie” to reminiscing with Carly. Meanwhile, Sam and Dante will compare notes, Trina will make a move, and Sonny will attempt to help Carly… who isn’t likely to be all that receptive!

Week of August 7:

Upon hearing that Trina is preparing to make a move, we can’t decide if we’d rather it be on Spencer or against Esme. Heck, why not both?

Will a visit from Marshall help cure what ails Curtis?

Thursday, August 10:

Maxie is about to get the kind of offer that will definitely capture her attention.

Anna and Dante put their heads together to work on a theory. Will their two heads prove better than one?
