Weekly May Sweeps Recaps & Spoilers: May 20-24, 2024

 


The Young & the Restless

Recaps

Billy drops a bomb at Chancellor-Winters, there’s a distressing update on Connor, Christine shocks Phyllis, and Sally and Chloe make a decision. 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.

Danger ahead! Victor’s bone-chilling plans for Jordan could demolish [Spoiler]’s life!

Devon turns to Tucker for help, Lily gets a stunning call from Jill, and Daniel confides in Tessa. 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 I were her, I’d be suspicious even on holidays!

May Sweeps Fireworks! Summer triggers an explosion that could forever change the Newman family!

Ashley’s alter plots murder, Billy fires the first shot at C-W, and Sally seeks Audra’s advice. When Ashley’s alter devises a dangerous plan, there may not be a handsome pianist or mute bartender in Genoa City who is safe. Get the latest on Alan’s stay in Genoa City here. As Sally finds herself at a crossroads, she may bail on her latest company. Is Adam next? Read what Courtney Hope says about the couple here. 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 attentions.

Abby sends shockwaves through Chancellor-Winters, and Audra goes ballistic on Tucker. 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. Oh, snap… Tucker will mess things up for Devon and lose Audra – with a single inevitable decision. 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”?

Kyle makes a decision that shocks Summer, Nick catches Phyllis in the act, and Victor finds a new way to torture Jordan. 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.

Coming up! More drama ahead for Abby, Devon, and Chancellor-Winters on the heels of that Abby shocker!



Next Week

Jordan plots her great escape but just because she makes a plan doesn’t mean that Victor will allow her to execute it! In other developments, Jack plays referee, Nikki returns, and Claire asks the impossible.

Restless Rant! Victor’s plan hits a major snag and Ashley’s alters dial “M” for murder. Plus, the real shocker in that Abby twist, a return to Red and much more.

Monday, May 20:

Jill may have told Billy Boy to take a load off in a seat of power, but that doesn’t mean that Devon is gonna let him get comfy there. In fact, today Neil’s son stands his ground with his antagonist.

Once co-conspirators, always co-conspirators? When the chips are down, Nate defends Audra.

Tucker must have a little free time on his hands. So he spends it engaging in one of his favorite pastimes: pushing Diane’s buttons.

Tuesday, May 21:

Victor knew that holding a psycho hostage in the wine cellar was going to be no mean feat. So he can’t be surprised that once again he is forced to cover his tracks.

What can’t Connor’s folks do for the sake of their son? Adam and Chelsea again put their differences aside. If they put them far enough to the side, could we be looking at this twist?

Cole crosses the line. The question is, will that be a deal-breaker to the reunion toward which he seemed to be speeding?

Wednesday, May 22:

If he wasn’t tempted to relapse before, Jack is sure to be when he attempts to keep the peace between Billy and Devon.

Rather than count ceiling tiles or try to telekinetically will Chablis into her cell, Jordan plots her escape.

Hmm. Nate spends quality time with Audra. Aren’t they both a little conspicuously attractive for that not to lead to sexy time?

Thursday, May 23:

Curses, foiled again! Jordan had scarcely formulated her escape plan when Victor discovers it.

As they have done since the start of their sister’s mental-health crisis, Jack and Traci vow to help Ashley. And Belle. And Mrs. Abbott. And the rest.

Nikki returns home. But the trouble that awaits her may make her wish that she’d never left rehab.

Friday, May 24:

Is the jig up? When Victor receives unexpected visitors, the downstairs “guest” he’d prefer no one realize is there could at last be discovered.

Cole is generally a level-headed fella. So when he faces a tough decision, we have a hunch that he’ll make the right one.

Claire might as well ask the sun not to be hot or water not to be wet. Nevertheless, she requests that Summer give her a second chance.



The Bold & the Beautiful

Recaps

Hope asks Finn to be in Deacon and Sheila’s wedding, and Steffy and Hope argue. I’m guessing the Forresters and Logans won’t be checking their mailboxes for wedding invites after the news breaks that Deacon and Sheila are engaged. Maybe they could RSVP yes if and only if the madwoman agrees to take part in this scene. It’s gonna feel like three steps forward and two steps back when Hope circles around again to expressing her frustration that Steffy encouraged Thomas and Douglas to leave Los Angeles. Welp, I knew it wouldn’t be as easy as saying, “Wifey, I pick you,” and we were right. Watch for Finn to grapple with the weight of his situation with Steffy and Sheila.
