Weekly May Sweeps Recaps & Spoilers: May 6-10, 2024



 The Young & the Restless

Recaps

Cole and Victoria find a clue, Michael grills Victor, and Nikki holes up alone. Perhaps since it’s probably not entirely legal to keep a prisoner in your basement — even if it is Crazy Aunt Jordan — Victor covers his tracks with Michael. When Adam and Chelsea receive an update about Connor, will their son be improving, or will his struggles only have been intensified? Summer’s been playing the blame game a lot lately. Now she’s decided that Nikki is the reason that their family is such a mess.

Michael and Lauren discuss Sheila, Victoria, and Cole make a shocking discovery, and Ashley’s alter makes plans for her pal, Alan. Victor interrogates Jordan about Claire’s whereabouts. But we have a hunch that it will take more than an un-padded cell to get that whacko to talk! Since Victoria makes a shocking discovery, we have to wonder whether she finds out that Daddy Dearest has stashed their family’s “late” tormentor with the Beaujolais and Merlot. Ashley receives a surprise visitor.

Nikki spirals, Abby confronts Billy, and Ashley’s alters battle for control.

 Ah, nothing brings a family together like a mutual foe. In this case, it’s Billy against whom Devon and Nate strategize. Guess she must be dropping the accent in front of Alan because Ashley keeps up appearances. While Ashley tries to keep herself in check, Nikki takes a turn spiraling out of control. How bad is it?

Jack’s failure to help Nikki sends him over the edge. Nikki’s bender is so bad that Jack is forced to take extreme measures to help his friend and former wife.

“You’d better shape up, my baby. You got that?” Yep, Victor doles out some tough love to Nikki. (As if he has any other kind of love to give.) At the same, Jack faces the consequences of his actions. In trying to do right, did he actually do wrong by Nikki? Good thing the Newman sibs are on speaking terms because Victoria needs to confide in Nick.

Blown away, Eric Braeden hails two castmates as the “performers of the damn year!”



Next Week

They say that the truth will set you free. But it appears that what the truth may set Jack free of… is his marriage. In other developments, a desperate Jordan attempts to strike a bargain, Lily makes a difficult choice, Ashley’s head becomes a war zone, and a pair of old enemies seize a new opportunity to lock horns.

Restless Rant! Jordan and Claire’s next chapters, are Jack’s marital mess and the trouble with Ashley’s alters.

Monday, May 6:

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!

Tuesday, May 7:

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?

Wednesday, May 8:

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?

Thursday, May 9:

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?

Friday, May 10:

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.



The Bold & the Beautiful

Recaps

Deacon and Finn make a grisly discovery, Liam and Bill discuss moving forward, and Steffy senses something is off. Emotions are at an all-time high when Deacon and Finn find Sheila Carter tied up in an abandoned warehouse.

Deacon and Finn hit a snag rescuing Sheila, and Liam is mesmerized by a blast from the past. A while back, Scott Clifton told us that Ivy might just be the one whom Liam reluctantly let get away. Well, he’s about to get another chance because she’s back… and today, they’re gonna lock lips!  Being the crackerjack doctor that he is, Finn realizes his biological mother — that’d be Sheila, don’t ya know —  needs medical attention. But first, he has to figure out exactly how to release her from the chains that literally bind her!

Finn holds Sheila as she tells her story, and Steffy sees Ivy kissing Liam. Ridge and Steffy can’t help but wonder if maybe Deacon is having a bit too much of an influence over Finn. (Wait until they find out what’s been going on the past few days!) Liam and Ivy recall their past. And while we’re sure this will include lots of romantic flashbacks, we’ve got those covered in our photo-filled gallery which includes their international jaunts and Los Angeles-based smooches!

Sheila details Sugar’s plan and Steffy needles Ivy. So what, exactly, went down when Sugar caught up with Sheila in Los Angeles?  Having seen Liam and Ivy’s kiss, Steffy corners the Aussie and wants to know exactly what her intentions are toward their ex.

Liam and Steffy are living in a fool’s paradise as they talk about how wonderful it is that their children will live a life free of all things Sheila. How did things spiral so far out of control for Sheila? Well, that’s what she wants to know, and will finally find out today!



Next Week 

If Sheila was expecting a welcome-back-from-the-dead parade with balloons and flowers, she’s in for a ruder than a rude awakening. Deacon and Finn may be walking on air over the murderess’ miraculous resurrection. But at the same time, Steffy is beyond alarmed to learn that her monster-in-law still has a pulse. Suffice it to say that there won’t be any warm hugs when the psycho who shot Brooke, Taylor, Finn, Steffy, and more has a run-in with the character who may loathe her even more than most.

Monday, May 6:

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!

Tuesday, May 7:

Since Liam gets closer to Steffy over her concerns about Finn.

Wednesday, May 8:

Deacon wants to take the next step in his relationship with Sheila.

Wonder if Sheila will bother to send invitations to her estranged children. And she does have quite a few.

Thursday, May 9:

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.

Friday, May 10:

Who will throw the first punch? That’s the first question that comes to mind, knowing that Li comes face to slappable face with her archenemy, Sheila Carter.

But will she ultimately wind up regretting this decision? Willow is about to receive an offer that could prove life-changing. John mixes it up with Jason. Nina may find herself giving in to temptation!

Anna realizes Valentin has been lying all along to her about Pikeman, Sasha and Cody share a kiss, and Nina is surprised when Willow decides to give her another chance.

Sasha needs comfort, and she knows that Cody will be able to provide it for her. Drew and Nina continue to walk the treacherous line that exists between them when he asks a favor of her.

TJ continues to think he and Molly made a mistake in asking Kristina to be their surrogate. Could Kristina lose TJ and Molly’s baby?

Maxie and Lucy agree on who should be Deception’s new spokesmodel, Tracy tests Sasha’s cooking abilities, and Willow makes a decision about her future. Does the fact that Willow is suddenly questioning her career choices have anything to do with the chat she and Drew had earlier this week?

To whom is Drew about to pitch a brand new business project? Josslyn takes Trina into her confidence.

Monday, May 6:

It looks as if Kristina’s dad and Blaze’s mom are getting closer. But when they “comfort” one another, does that mean things will get even more complicated than they already are? Meanwhile, Alexis hopes that she can help Kristina see things from a different angle.

Tuesday, May 7:

What knowledge will Carly gain when she listens in on John’s conversation?

Outside the DiMera mansion, EJ grabs Leo by his jacket Eric decides it’s time to get to the heart of the matter But how will Sloan respond when asked, point blank, if Leo is blackmailing her?
