Nevertheless, she requests that Summer give her a second chance.



Next Week

At long last, Jordan’s fate is sealed, but what will become of Ashley, Jack, Billy, and Michael remains very much up in the air. Read on, and let the latest teasers explain why.

Restless Rant! A dark twist puts Ashley in grave danger! Plus, Victor’s vengeance causes chaos and much more!

Monday, May 27:

When Victor makes a decision about Jordan’s future, you can bet that it won’t be to set her free with a handshake and a genial warning “Now don’t do that again, missy!”

At her wit’s end and desperate to help her son, Connor, Chelsea takes matters into her own hands. But what can she do? What?!

Well, we hardly expected them to be cooperative. Ashley’s alters interfere with her treatment.

Tuesday, May 28:

With good reason, Diane worries about Jack’s sobriety. Is he about to relapse and lose his wife in the process?

Sounds like it will be a test of all the progress Chelsea has made in working on herself when she is called upon to make a tough decision.

Though Summer is an Olympic-caliber grudge-holder, she nonetheless gives Claire the benefit of the doubt. #growth

Wednesday, May 29:

The ultimate spin doctor, Victor controls the narrative about Jordan. Which would be the first thing about the madwoman that he’s managed to control, eh?

Speaking of Jordan, already a new mystery is swirling around Claire’s aunt and the one character whose life she hasn’t touched.

It's damage control time at Chancellor-Winters. Why? Today, Jill shares alarming news with her son, Billy.

Although we were unaware that Sally actually had any power in Genoa City, she nonetheless made a power move.

Thursday, May 30:

Between her loathing of Jack’s ex-wife and her fears for her husband, it was only a matter of time before Diane gave her better half an ultimatum about Nikki.

Hoping against hope that a trip abroad will shed light on Ashley’s issues, she and Traci arrive in Paris.

Color us intrigued. Tucker has an unexpected encounter. But with whom?

Friday, May 31:

Nobody ever wants to be on Victor’s bad side. But that’s exactly where Michael lands as the boss holds him accountable for his actions.

Unable to continue acting as her one-man AA meeting, Jack and Nikki reach an understanding. Better late than never!

Holy smoke! We never thought we’d see the day that Summer calls a truce with Sally. But it’s here! #majorgrowth



The Bold & the Beautiful

Recap

Things are never easy in Los Angeles. With Sheila and Deacon preparing to walk — er, run — down the aisle, Finn and Hope find themselves overflowing with complicated emotions. Reason No. 432 that Steffy needs a gal pal? When she needs someone to vent to about the fact that Hope seems to be a not-so-hot influence on Finn, to whom does Steffy turn? Liam!

Hope’s stance on Sheila stuns Brooke, Sheila pressures Finn, and Finn works more of his magic on Hope. Everybody loves a wedding, right? So news of Deacon and Sheila’s upcoming nuptials will inevitably lead to rejoicing amongst those who know them, right? Once we stop laughing at that notion, we’ll tell you just how incredibly upset Steffy’s going to be when she hears about her monster-in-law’s plans. When a medical situation arises, Hope will be glad there’s a doctor in, if not the house, certainly the extended family. But what’s wrong, and will Finn be able to make it right?

Steffy finds out Finn was with Sheila, and Brooke is appalled by Hope’s news. Hope is likely to feel a bit ganged up upon when Brooke, Ridge, and Steffy all try to talk sense into her. Steffy has warned her husband that he’s to have absolutely nothing to do with his mom — sorry, “biological mother” —  and the fact that Sheila’s getting married doesn’t change that. So expect him to be torn when Sheila comes around making the kind of request that can only be considered outlandish. (We’d bet our house, car, and bank account that it has to do with her wedding!)

The moment that had Katherine Kelly Lang “holding on for dear life” — and see how one of her castmates reacted to the “stunt!”

Get ready, because it looks like Thomas will be heading back to the show soon.

Brooke defends Steffy to Hope, and Finn stumbles upon Sheila and Deacon’s wedding. As the wedding of Sheila and Deacon begins, many questions will linger. For example, which of their loved and loathed ones will risk the wrath of everyone else in their circle to attend? Will the bride have a bouquet, and if so, will the bees it inevitably attracts be related to the ones that helped her commit murder all those years ago? So many questions!

Jacqueline MacInnes Wood’s latest adventure leaves castmate asking, “What are you doing up at this hour?”

Sheila and Deacon wed as Eric worried about Hope and Liam and Steffy wondered what was taking Finn so long. The wedding continues and, in keeping with expectations the unexpected… and one heck of a cliffhanger. Could Li be about to make the groom a widower?

Shocker! Hope surprise twist will leave Steffy’s head spinning too!



Next Week

It looks like the gloves are about to come off where Steffy and Hope are concerned. Never the best of friends to begin with, things get extremely tense between them in the wake of Sheila and Deacon’s wedding. Meanwhile, Bill and Luna will each receive the kind of news that changes lives.

General Hospital

Recap

Anna confronts Jack at the hospital, Kristina recoils in fear of Sonny, and Gregory reflects on his life. Sonny is about to have his entire world rocked. But what is it that leaves him feeling downright horrified? And does is have something to do with why Blaze is suddenly having to offer comfort to Kristina? Jason tells Carly they need to meet, pronto. How will Finn feel about his father’s apology? Brennan might wanna brace himself because he’s about to have Anna get right up in his face as she looks for answers. (Guess that answers this question.)

With their relationship now confirmed, here’s everything you need to know about the new real-life love of Steve Burton.

More: General Hospital served up the best wedding in years!

Gregory’s death leads to Finn taking a drink, and Dante refuses to help Sonny fix his problems any longer. It’s the day Alexis and Diane have been waiting for… and it could change everything for the former attorney! Kristina hopes that Michael will be able to hear her pleas. Dex has been walking a thin line for a while, but the time has come for him to you know what, or get off the pot! In other words, it’s decision time! Meanwhile, Sonny turns to Dante for help. Finn is about to face one of the most difficult tasks of his life.

Gregory Harrison exits General Hospital as Finn and Chase’s father takes his final breath.

Kristina offers to back Dex if he files charges against Sonny, Liz tries to help a drunken Finn, and Alexis has her day in court. Does Elizabeth have good reason to be worried? Alexis is absolutely blindsided… but will it be in a good or bad way? Yesterday, Sonny turned to his eldest son for help. But today, Dante has a warning for his dad! Ava’s been poking around for weeks, and she’s about to come across some very important information! When Kristina makes someone an offer, will she borrow a page from her dad’s book and make it one the other party can’t refuse?

Alexis learns Ava was her accuser, and Liz calls Chase to help his brother out. Carly does everything she can to prevent Anna from getting to what she’s after. Alexis has spent a lot of time in courtrooms but today is, as they say, her day in court, both literally and proverbially. Ava is there when Sonny needs a shoulder to cry on. (Although he probably won’t literally be crying!) Gio may be the new guy in town, but he’s ready to make his move! Kristina opens up about the fear that she just can’t shake. Perhaps she’s still feeling the aftershocks of this nightmare scenario.

Laura Wright took to social media to let her feelings be known: “You made me cry.”

Molly and TJ do something that’s downright normal: They go on an actual date! Try as she might, Elizabeth can’t shake off her concern. Is it justified? Portia can’t help but be conflicted. Tracy isn’t a woman who has let a lot of people get closer to her. But she’ll no doubt be glad when Cody and Stella are by her side during a difficult time.



Next Week

Dex could soon find himself in even hotter water, while Sonny’s children take a meeting. Elsewhere, Jason doesn’t score many points with his longtime BFF, Sam cooks up a plan, and Laura gets bad news.

Monday, May 27:

The ABC soap will air an encore of the October 5, 2023 episode.

Tuesday, May 28:

Sam is determined to help get Jason out of trouble, if only for the sake of her son. But when she lays out her plan, will it prove feasible?

Maxie gives Spinelli a bit of encouragement. But is that in the professional or personal department? (Might we finally be getting the Spixie reunion we’ve wanted for ages?)

Just because Alexis is about to get answers doesn’t mean they’ll necessarily be the ones she wants.

Something tells us that when Jason and Anna exchange info, it’s not things like phone numbers and where to find one another on social media!

Carly swings by to visit Brennan. (Hope she brings him one of those burgers he’s come to love so much!)

Wednesday, May 29:

Elizabeth can’t help but suspect things aren’t quite right.

Thoughts on Gregory’s tear-jerking death, and our fears for Finn and Elizabeth.

Ava and Nina’s friendship suffers yet another blow when the gallery owner calls out the publisher.

Josslyn and Trina present a united front as they make a move.

The honeymoon ain’t over yet for Brook Lynn and Chase, as she makes her love for him clearer than ever.

Anyone who has ever dealt with Alexis knows that this isn’t really all that unusual, but trust us when we say she’s about to get the last word.

Thursday, May 30:

Nothing good can come of Sonny seeking out Dex, but that’s what’s about to happen!

Dante and Kristina have both had their issues that arose from being Sonny’s offspring, so they’ll have a lot to discuss today. Meanwhile, Molly can’t help but feel frustrated.

Friday, May 31:

Paulina thinks that what Salem needs is Melinda back in the District Attorney’s office. But will Melinda agree to return? Leo is in the right place at the right time when he catches Holly and Tate sharing what was supposed to be a private moment. (Wonder if this will wind up in his gossip column?)

EJ offers to give Sloan a fresh start, and Everett punches Eric, who finds his drunken wife at Small Bar.

Even as Eric and Roman are catching up, Kate is making it clear just how unhappy she is with Ava. Who doesn’t love after-work cocktails? Stephanie, Everett and Leo hit happy hour for drinks once their work day is over.

It looks as if Chanel has made up her mind regarding the baby, as she tells Johnny that she wants to go through with the pregnancy. Tate lets Aaron in on the fact that he and Holly are secretly dating.

Zach Tinker wakes up to a devastating scene: “I hope the piece of human garbage that did this… ”

Sloan tells Eric that Jude is EJ and Nicole’s son, and Everett’s arrested or is he Bobby? It’s a familiar conversation as Eric puts Sloan in the hot seat, demanding an explanation for some of her odd behavior. How will Chad react to the news that Everett was arrested for having assaulted Eric?

Maggie will have a reason to smile when she finds out that daughter Sarah is once again engaged to her dreamboat, Xander.

Tuesday, May 28:

Theresa wants a slice of the Kiriakis pie, and Bonnie — somewhat surprisingly — doesn’t have a problem with that! Meanwhile, Maggie gets together with Alex to discuss the importance of family and the fast-approaching weddings. Might we get another of Salem’s infamous double ceremonies? And will people actually, you know, walk away from this one having tied the knot?

Stefan wants Melinda to reopen the case. Will Gabi soon be returning home? (Obviously, we’re pretty sure the answer is yes.

Despite her track record, Eric and Rafe are shocked to learn that Sloan has skipped town.

Wednesday, May 29:

As Eric deals with the fact that his life has been turned upside down, John and Marlena offer support. Look for the shrink to also find time to reach out to Jada so they can figure out how to deal with the Everett situation.

Steve may have figured out where Clyde and Goldman have been hiding out. (Who needs a police department when you have Steve and John on the case?) At the same time, Harris, Ava, and Lucas arrive in Montana!

Can these two crazy kids finally get it together and keep it together? Keenly aware that there is a fox in the henhouse, Devon and Nate strategize about an exit plan for their antagonist. Perhaps they’ll tell him, “So, Billy, we had a great idea for a new podcast for you. It’s all your deepest, most innermost thoughts. Wanna do it or what?” Since Adam is left to comfort Chelsea, we’re going to guess that her visit with Connor didn’t go well.

Try as she might, Elizabeth can’t shake off her concern. Is it justified?

Portia can’t help but be conflicted.

Tracy isn’t a woman who has let a lot of people get closer to her. But she’ll no doubt be glad when Cody and Stella are by her side during a difficult time.

Weekly May Sweeps Recaps & Spoilers: May 13-17, 2024

 


The Young & the Restless

Recaps

Diane’s infuriated with Jack, and Summer lays down the law about Claire. Something tells us that Jordan is not going to be a fan of the flavor when Victor gives the madwoman a taste of her own medicine. IV full of vodka, then, or perhaps some heart-attack water?  After his major slip, Jack comes clean with Diane. Will the newest Mrs. Newman be able to be the partner that he so badly needs in this crucial moment? Nope. Summer is not letting this one go. She continues to hold Kyle accountable for his actions. As if Jordan couldn’t have gotten the idea to kidnap Harrison without the boy’s father putting his trust in Claire!

Jordan falls victim to Victor’s plan, and Jack puts Ashley’s alter on notice. You have to get up pretty early in the morning to get a step ahead of the all-powerful Victor Newman. So we have a hunch that he will have no trouble covering his tracks with Cole (who’s always struck us as a sleep-in kinda guy, anyway). Sounds like rather than see whether Connor is making progress, we’ll be watching Chelsea and Adam wait to hear whether he’s making any. It’s Thunderdome up in Ashley’s head as her alters fight for control. Our money’s on Belle; her outfits are loud enough to drown out all of the others, right?

Tucker raises a red flag with Abby, and Lily, Devon, and Nate make an enemy of Mamie! It's decision time for Lily. But faced with the toughest of dilemmas, will she make the right one, no matter the cost? The spoiler reads “Tucker catches Ashley off guard.” Nonetheless, we have to wonder whether it’s the real Ashley that he surprises or one of the other options on the sampler menu in her brain. Stymied at Chancellor-Winters, Nate tests the waters with Audra. Could he be thinking of jumping ship yet again?

Whoa! Mamie’s next move could tear the Winters family apart! Good luck, lady! Despite being notoriously untrustworthy, Jordan tries to strike a deal with Victor. Whether it’s tough love or self-preservation, Diane gives Jack an ultimatum. Will he find the strength to do what she asks… or risk losing his wife? Hmm. This doesn’t sound like Phyllis. Yet we’re told that she’ll be giving Summer real, live, actual sound advice. Who knew she even could do that?

Phyllis complains to Diane about Kyle, and Victor’s behavior raises suspicions. Victor plays his cards close to the vest — and, no doubt, his aces even farther up his sleeves! Haters gonna hate, Victoria doesn’t care. She defends Claire with the certainty of someone who has known the young woman all her life. It’s been a minute since Phyllis and Diane went at it. If that’s what you’ve been looking forward to, your wait ends today when the longtime nemeses spar anew.



Next Week

Genoa City is turned both upside down and inside out as Tucker does a good (!) deed, Kyle puts his foot down, and Phyllis’s attempt to help… hurts.

Restless Rant! You won’t believe what Victor’s going to do next! Plus, a disturbing twist for Claire, Ashley’s alters unleashed, the Chancellor-Winters war.

Monday, May 13:

With Paul in the rearview mirror and Phyllis having moved on to meddle in other affairs, Christine and Danny start a new chapter. Can these two crazy kids finally get it together and keep it together?

Keenly aware that there is a fox in the henhouse, Devon and Nate strategize about an exit plan for their antagonist. Perhaps they’ll tell him, “So, Billy, we had a great idea for a new podcast for you. It’s all your deepest, most innermost thoughts. Wanna do it or what?”

Since Adam is left to comfort Chelsea, we’re going to guess that her visit with Connor didn’t go well. We wonder if Sally will recall that Billy being there for Chelsea was exactly the thing that put Lily’s relationship with him in the past tense.

Tuesday, May 14:

Lily receives shocking news from Jill. Maybe she decided to settle Daniel’s lawsuit? Could be, but perhaps not, considering that in the next spoiler…

Daniel swallows his pride. Does he go begging the ex on whom he cheated for his old job back?

Frankly, this should be a spoiler every day of the week: Audra questions Tucker’s loyalty. If were her, I’d be suspicious even on holidays!

Wednesday, May 15:

When Ashley’s alter devises a dangerous plan, there may not be a handsome pianist or mute bartender in Genoa City who is safe.

As Sally finds herself at a crossroads, she may bail on her latest company. Is Adam next?

Tucker proves himself to Devon, perhaps by solving a problem rather than creating one. Chancellor-Winters certainly have enough issues in need of resolving, if that’s where Daddy Dearest is directing his attention.

Thursday, May 16:

Phyllis’ plan to support Daniel backfires. Sometimes, Mom, the best thing you can do for your kid… is nothing.

Audra makes a power move. But in what direction? Is she plotting for her future with Tucker or securing a more lucrative tomorrow for herself?

Working with her boyfriend and his family as well as her uncle, it was inevitable that Abby’s loyalty would be tested.

Friday, May 17:

Victor’s revenge plot against Jordan takes a dangerous turn. Has she found a way to remind him why her first name has always been “Crazy”?

A former couple at a turning point: Nick confides in Phyllis. But does he really need her counsel, or could he end up giving her a new sense of purpose?

Did Kyle get veto power in the divorce settlement? Could be, as he nixes Summer’s decision about Claire.



The Bold & the Beautiful

Recaps

Hope has an extreme reaction to Sheila, Steffy struggles, and Charlie provides comic relief. Believing Sheila deserves a second chance, Deacon and Finn are ecstatic to have her back. Of course, if they think anyone else is going to share that sentiment, they are in for quite the disappointment!

Finn opens up to Hope about Sheila, Liam checks on Steffy, and Deacon proposes. Since Liam gets closer to Steffy over her concerns about Finn, we are more convinced than ever that we are headed for this storyline.

Finn arrives at home with big news, and Sheila accepts Deacon’s proposal. Deacon wants to take the next step in his relationship with Sheila. But it’s gonna have to be a helluva ceremony if they want their wedding to get added to our list of soaps’ most memorable ones ever. Wonder if Sheila will bother to send invitations to her estranged children. And she does have quite a few.

Get ready! Finn and Hope are set to bond over the unimaginable!

Finn tells Steffy she didn’t kill Sheila, and Sheila taunts Li at the hospital. Steffy is horrified by Finn’s “happy” news that Sheila is alive. Boy, is she gonna feel silly, too, laughing off Deacon’s insistence that the corpse had all 10 toes! What’s more, she will likely be horrified by what’s coming next for the woman who tried to murder her in cold blood.

Down the road… Finn’s in for a huge shock after his wife leaves and *this* is revealed!

Li attacks Sheila, Hope defends Finn, and Steffy comes to a horrifying realization. Who will throw the first punch? That’s the first question that comes to our mind, knowing that today Li comes face to slappable face with her archenemy, Sheila Carter.



Next Week

The impossible is asked of Finn, Luna is tested, so to speak, and Sheila is put on blast. Which, OK, is kinda an everyday occurrence for Sheila, but still?

Deacon has a daughter Hope do his dirty work for him. She not only reveals to Finn that her dad wants him to come to his and Sheila’s wedding, he wants him to play the role of best man!

Of course, Finn being Finn, we have a hunch that he will say yes, thereby giving viewers yet another reason to be ticked at him.

At the same time, Steffy is using her most authoritative tone of voice to tell Sheila that her twisted connection to Finn is being severed there and then. But unless Steffy brought the knife with which she stabbed Sugar, c’mon, she’s kidding herself. Sheila’s more likely to run off and get a tattoo that reads “biological mother”! (Tell ya the truth, it only makes us that much more eager to see this scene play out.)

Finally, Luna, wearing the stricken expression that has come to be her norm, nervously awaits the results of — oh dear — a pregnancy test. And from the look on mom Poppy’s face, I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that the rabbit died. Wonder if they’ll ever get back to the question of who Luna’s father is (because I think I know the answer).

General Hospital

Recaps

Anna talks Dante out of resigning, and Ava faces competition for Sonny’s attention. It looks as if Kristina’s dad and Blaze’s mom are getting closer.

Dante comes to a conclusion. Ava finds herself feeling frustrated, but because of what or whom?

Having thought long and hard about Drew’s proposition, Willow decides to accept.

Jason tells Anna what the FBI has on Carly, Carly visits Brennan to get Intel on Pikeman, and Sam learns Dante is not leaving the police force. At long last, Jason comes clean with Anna about why he’s working with the FBI and what’s at stake if he doesn’t. Meanwhile, Carly — whom Jason is protecting — tries digging up information on Pikeman! How will Sam react to the news Dante must share with her? It’ll feel like old times as Lois and Jagger (sorry, John) catch up with one another. Even if he does have a new face to go with the new name! Brook Lynn and Chase find time to spend together before the festivities get underway.

Sam learns Jason’s working for the FBI, and Sonny’s words sting Ava. Finn may be the doctor, but Gregory proves an uncooperative patient when they butt heads over his care. Ava feels as if Sonny isn’t appreciative of her and what she’s done. Natalia may not be on the official guest list, but she’s determined to attend the big wedding! Sam has been keeping Jason away from Danny. But will she change her mind when she finds out that he’s been working with the FBI all along? Laura is given a word of warning by Jordan.

Dante and Sam plan to find a way to help Jason, and Anna and Jason figure out how to stop Carly from meddling. Carly is the hot topic when John sits Jason down for a serious talk. Ava continues trying to find out exactly who’s been playing with Sonny’s meds. Meanwhile, the Teflon Don approaches Natalia with a proposition. Might he suggest they attend the wedding together? Anna and Dex compare notes on his future with the police department. Later, Joss and Dex play a flirting game which may not go as either of them planned.

Wonder how Willow will feel about the fact that her husband is reconnecting with Sasha… who just happens to be his ex!

Tuesday, May 14:

Anna appears to be playing a dangerous game as she agrees to go on a date with Valentin.

The only thing better than getting good advice? Being able to give some, as well, which is why Gregory and Alexis wind up doing an advice exchange?

Sam has wanted Jason to stay far away from their son. So how will he react when Danny comes to him with a request?

Drew is usually the one who makes business propositions, but today he’s on the receiving end of one.

Nina decides it’s time to draw boundaries where her friendship with Ava is concerned.

Wednesday, May 15:

At long last, it’s time for Brook Lynn and Chase’s wedding to begin! Get ready for tears as Tracy presents Brook Lynn with something very special that at one time belonged to Lila. Meanwhile, Josslyn meets Gio, Brook Lynn’s cousin, and a talented violinist… who just happens to be extremely handsome as well!

Jason manages to catch everyone off guard, while Kristina and Blaze find themselves taken aback.

Thursday, May 16:

As the big wedding continues to unfold, Gregory finds himself struggling. Later, friends and family gather at the Metro Court as the reception gets underway.

Friday, May 17:

The post-wedding festivities kick into high gear. Meanwhile, Sam convinces Spinelli to take part in a scheme she hopes will help Jason.

Finn wants to celebrate his brother’s wedding, but he’s too busy worrying about their dad, Gregory.

Kristina has spent a lot of time of late defending her dad, but she’s about to see a whole different side of him!

Why Brook Lynn and Chase’s wedding is the perfect event for a manic Sonny meltdown!



Days of Our Lives – Peacock

Recaps

Now, they have to have a difficult talk about their options where her pregnancy is concerned.

We might find out who has better taste as Jada and Rafe start decorating their home!

Holly, who obviously still has feelings for the guy!

Maggie’s eyes are opened, Harris leaves town, and Sarah has questions about Xander’s mother. Upon finally being filled in on the truth, Maggie is downright shocked.
