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?

Carly turns to Jason for help dealing with Sonny, and later spies on Jason and Cates meeting. What knowledge will Carly gain when she listens in on John’s conversation? When Laura swings by Pentonville to visit Heather, will she have news to share with the inmate? Anna is already suspicious of Valentin. What Felicia has to say today probably won’t help matters! If Valentin goes down, it looks to be the end of the Cassadines on General Hospital. What has Sonny dropping by to see Jordan? 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.



Next Week

It’s all about Chase and Brook Lynn’s wedding, as one man struggles to get through the ceremony, Spinelli’s roped into a new scheme and another member of the bride’s family is introduced!

Monday, May 13:

Carly does not take warnings particularly well, but given that this one comes from Anna, might she give it credence??

Nina’s going to be flying high when she and Willow share a moment that can actually be described as “warm.”

Jordan gets some rather unsettling news.

Although Gregory has decided he can’t make the journey to Coney Island, he encourages Tracy to attend the rehearsal dinner without him.

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!

Monday, May 13:

Eric and Nicole will be spending even more time together as they work on a special piece about Salem’s homeless crisis.
