Weekly Spoilers: October 30-November 3, 2023

 


The Young & the Restless

They say that the truth will set you free. But is that what Ashley can look forward to after unburdening herself ……   Or will she be opening a Pandora’s Box that she wishes had stayed closed? In other developments, both Victor and Mamie put the screws on Nate, Adam receives his weekly shock, and Phyllis is sure to be “bugged” when Cricket gets an episode all to herself.

Monday, October 30:

It seems like it was only yesterday that Tucker and Ashley were pronounced husband and wife. And today? As she confronts him, they’ll get rechristened the Bickersons.

What Mamie wants, Mamie gets? That remains to be seen after she gives Nate an ultimatum.

Perhaps forgetting his own outsized sense of entitlement in his youth, Jack loses patience with Kyle.

Tuesday, October 31:

Since the siblings are on good terms again, Jack feels free to call in a favor with Ashley. But he wouldn’t dare suggest that she pump Tucker for information about his plot… would he?

Knowing full well where they are, Audra pushes Kyle’s buttons. Will he realize that he’s being played… or just zone out and enjoy playtime?

Devon knows his dad well enough to quickly latch on to the fact that the tale he’s telling is of the tall variety.

Wednesday, November 1:

As Victor tests Nick and Victoria, we and perhaps you, too, will wonder anew why they don’t just say “To hell with it!” and walk away from their impossible father.

She’s baaack! Chelsea surprises Billy.

Since Adam has a rude awakening, we’re going to guess that the last to know that Victor has been messing with his kids finally finds out. Well, unless you count Abby. Which Dad apparently doesn’t?

Thursday, November 2:

In a special Lauralee Bell-centric episode, Christine looks back and ahead. And considering that she just went through a major change — all about that here — who could blame her for being a little lot reflective!

Friday, November 3:

Maybe this is Victor’s way of saying “Welcome to the family!” Or maybe he plays hardball with Nate just to while away the few minutes of the day that he isn’t poke, poke, poking at his heirs.

Sounds like we’ll finally find out all the gory details of what went down in Paris when Ashley makes a confession.

Pity party, table for two. Billy gives Kyle a wake-up call, no doubt warning his nephew that Jack has greased the corporate ladder to ensure that no one can ever reach his lofty perch.



The Bold & the Beautiful

General Hospital

While a few people deal with unsuspecting confrontations, others share their opinions — plus, one woman makes a costly mistake, Cyrus comes face to face with Portia and Trina, and Sam pays Carly a visit.

Monday, October 30:

Apparently having not heard that alcohol only makes a depression worse, Austin hits the bottle — hard — in an attempt to drown his sorrows.

Sonny has a warm reunion.

We expect Nikolas’ ears will be ringing when Laura and Ava sit down to compare notes.

Things seem to be going better for Liz and Finn this time around as they continue to get closer.

Remember when Olivia wanted Eddie gone, gone, gone? Well, the way she defends the guy makes us think maybe she’s changing her mind about that.

Sooo sweet! Baby’s first photo shoot: The son of Chad Duell is ready for his close-up.

Tuesday, October 31:

Anna tires of sitting in wait and opts to make a move.

Given the long history she shares with Sonny, it’s not all that unusual that Laura turns to him for help.

Cyrus goes knock, knock, knocking on the door of someone who would just as soon he not.

Here’s hoping Trina’s nightmare doesn’t become a reality.

Valentin and his troubled daughter strike a deal.

Days of Our Lives – Peacock

It’s Halloween in Salem, as a shocking discovery is made, a mischievous plan is hatched and a surprise about Li’s past is uncovered — plus, Eric’s impulsive decision stuns Sloan and Marlena!

Monday, October 30:

Nicole is pretty accustomed to EJ being moody, but how will she react when she finds him bubbling over with fury?

Who’s that knock, knock, knockin’ on Stephanie’s door? Someone from the past who she never, ever expected to see!

Marlena can’t help but be concerned about a patient who is anything but stable.

Gabi and Stefan have reason to celebrate, but it’s not enough… they’ve tasted victory, and now they want more!

Tuesday, October 31:

If you know nothing else about Salem, you know that things get very weird around these parts when Halloween rolls around. How odd? Well, how about Stephanie and Kayla whipping up a little magic? Meanwhile, Paulina and Abe’s movie night definitely does not go as planned…

Holly is about to prove that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree when she cooks up a bit of mischief!

Things will get very complicated after Eric, Sloan, and Nicole make a discovery that can only be described as “shocking.”

Wednesday, November 1:

A turn out Li’s past isn’t quite the open book we may have believed. At least that seems the case after Marlena finds out something about him!

What’s a day without a little bit of blackmail? Never fear… as long as Stefan and Gabi are around, we won’t have to find out.

News begins to spread about Nicole and EJ’s upcoming wedding and… well, let’s just say that not everyone is thrilled.

Tate admits to Eric that he might be interested in a certain young woman named Holly.

Thursday, November 2:

EJ and Nicole’s wedding day gets started… but what’s a Salem wedding without some kind of disruption? This time around, it comes in the form of uninvited guests!

Gabi asks — wait, this can’t be right, can it? Why yes, apparently she actually has the nerve to ask Li for a little help!

Eric admits he’s got feelings for Nicole. The only question is who in town he might tell, given that everyone pretty much knows that to be a fact.

Tate may be into Holly, but she’s about to confess that the person she’s into is Johnny!

If your memory is as foggy as ours where “The Pawn” is concerned, take this deep dive into that classic story — which seems about to resurface!

Friday, November 3:

We’ve always thought of Eric as being the kind of guy who looks before he leaps. But Marlena and Sloan are about to find out that he can be incredibly impulsive!

We’re not sure Nicole is the best person in the world to give relationship advice, but that’s who gives some to Chad.

Everett has some rather surprising news for Stephanie.

Wendy proves herself to be a good sis when Li needs comfort.
