Weekly Recaps & Spoilers: August 12-16, 2024

 


Days of Our Lives-Peacock

Recaps

Jack and Chad rescue John, Brady and Fiona hit the sheets, and Xander considers claiming what’s his. At the Salem Inn, Brady and Fiona intensely lock eyes. He's fully dressed and she's in a robe. Is Marlena right to be concerned about John and his continued absence? Theresa managed to do quite a number on both Alex and Brady, who find themselves in the rather unlikely position of commiserating with one another. As Stephanie deals with her pain over Everett, Kayla is on hand to provide some much-needed support and comfort.

Alex consoles Stephanie, Gabi finds Stefan with Ava, and the imaginary Li is actually a cardboard cutout. Will things get too close for comfort when Alex and Stephanie discover that they will once again be neighbors? Paulina goes to Jada with questions regarding Rafe’s stabbing… and a potential suspect! Stefan is about to get an earful as Gabi decides to vent. Connie is obviously not familiar with the word “irony.” Why do we say that? Because she’s determined to avenge the death of Li… you know the guy she murdered!

Sarah and Xander get married, and Brady fills Fiona in on her son’s nefarious past. It’s pretty much impossible to keep a secret in Salem, but Brady and Fiona vow to give it a try. Good luck with that! Holly thinks it’ll be easy pulling one over on guardian Maggie, but she may have underestimated Victor’s widow! Leo is about to get an offer from Kate and Abe. (Anybody else wanna bet they’re going to suggest he become headwriter of Body & Soul?) Two women who know a thing or two about doubles cross paths when Bonnie reunites with Hattie.

Chad and Jack confront the mystery woman, Brady confronts Tate who says goodbye to Theresa, and John catches up with the family. Will Paul listen when he receives advice from Andrew? Tate’s been doing a pretty good job of laying low, but he’s about to get caught hanging in Salem… and by Brady, no less! Meanwhile, Holly hopes to convince Sophia that she should stop being such a pain in the…

Connie tells Gabi Stefan cheated on her, and Stephanie and Alex get out of their frustrations. Stefan is feeling pretty guilty about the secret he’s been keeping. But is telling Gabi the truth about Ava really the right move? Speaking of people who feel guilty, Jada opens up to Paulina about her own complicated feelings about Everett. What will Johnny and Chanel think after they have a downright awkward encounter with Connie? Are Stephanie and Alex about to give their relationship another try? That might be the result when she tries to help him move on from Theresa!



Next Week

Monday, August 12:

After weeks of feeling guilty about having slept together while Gabi was behind bars, Ava and Stefan decide it’s time to forgive themselves.

Perhaps having read our recent Soapbox column on the topic, Kate turns to Roman to vent about everything and anything related to Body & Soul.

Bonnie winds up sharing a bond with Johnny.

In a town where everyone has a doppelganger, you’d think people would make sure they’re conversing with whom they think they’re talking. Yet there goes Leo, chatting up Hattie while thinking she’s actually everyone’s favorite shrink, Marlena!

Tuesday, August 13:

Having at long last exchanged vows, Sarah and Xander are ready to enjoy their honeymoon. (Good luck with that!)

Fiona and Brady are two people with an awful lot of demons… at least a few of which they’re about to give in to!

Fully aware that time may not be on their side, Tate and Holly vow to enjoy every moment they can share!

Is the mystery lady really Abigail? Chad may find out as he does what he can to trigger the woman’s memories!

Wednesday, August 14:

While we’re not sure anyone should ever rely on DNA tests on this particular soap, it looks as if we’ll finally know for “certain” whether the woman Chad and Jack tracked down is Abigail!

Still unaware he’s been chatting up Hattie, Leo wonders if perhaps Marlena has developed a split personality!

Yesterday, they were reveling in their love… so why does Xander suddenly have to go searching for Sarah? Does it have anything to do with the crime scene from which Fiona and Brady are fleeing?

Thursday, August 15:

Brady tries piecing together what he and Fiona did the night before, but that may be more difficult than it sounds… especially since she’s doing everything she can to cover her tracks!

As the mayor of Salem, Paulina goes to Jade for an update on a new investigation.

Marlena receives an early morning visit from one of her favorite people — Rachel — as well as one of her least favorite, Kristen.

Friday, August 16:

How will Stefan react when Chad sits him down to straighten him out?

Jennifer wants answers, so she heads to Salem to get them!

Gabi makes it clear she’s not going to sit around and let Kristen run roughshod over her.

Connie is many things, including flat-out cray cray. But what Ava finds out from Melinda is that Connie is also a big ol’ fraud!



General Hospital

Recaps

Kristina loses the baby and later codes herself. Sonny reflects on what he’s lost. Being a detective and all, it’s not unusual for Dante to spin theories. But will his suspicion prove true? After everything that went down in her suite last week, it’s not surprising that Ava will today find herself in the proverbial hot seat! Molly isn’t about to bite her tongue where Sonny’s concerned. Dex tries to offer Josslyn what comfort he can, while Natalia provides support to Blaze in her own time of trauma.

Sonny gets an unexpected visitor when he needs them to be there the most. A family reunion brings Violet’s parents together again. Someone is about to be put under arrest by Anna! As Kristina fights for her life following her fall from the Metro Court window, her loved ones gather to pray for a miracle. Will Kristina and her baby survive? Jason reconnects with Carly. What has Kevin and Laura ready to raise a toast in celebration?

Sonny learns his pills aren’t what they seem; Kevin’s news sends Ava into a panic, and TJ’s family rallies around him. A girl’s best friend is her mother, or so they say, which is why Josslyn takes Carly into her confidence. Things go from bad to worse for Ava. Meanwhile, there’s one big question on everyone’s lips: “Did Ava push Kristina, or did Sonny’s daughter fall out the window?” Jason hopes to get to the hospital in time. Trina makes it very clear with whom her loyalties lie!

We all knew he was coming back and now he’s finally arrived! Jonathan Jackson returns to General Hospital as Lucky Spencer.

Sonny believes Ava switched his meds and so does Carly, and Ava turns to John to help save her from Sonny’s wrath. Trina is about to pay Heather a visit! Scott finds himself being shot down by Alexis. Will John pay attention to the warning issued by Anna? Ava is not one to scare easily, and yet Jason manages to frighten her. Felicia does what she can for someone in their time of need.

Kristina wants Sonny to kill Ava, and Heather decides to take Scott up on his offer to fight for her freedom. Heather needs someone to confide in, and she chooses… Elizabeth?!? Although they haven’t seen things eye to eye of late, Laura and Portia try and hash things out. Michael needs a little help from Willow. (Seeing as she’s his loving and mostly devoted wife, that shouldn’t be an issue… right?) Nina cooks up a plan. Someone is about to make a request that will knock Sonny for one heck of a loop!



Next Week

Monday, August 12:

Everything could change for Kristina and Blaze when the singer receives an offer that proves mighty tempting.

How much is Willow going to risk by making a huge decision?

Maxie’s about to come into some more info when Nina opts to confide in her.

Kristina makes a decision that will likely surprise some.

Battle lines are once again drawn between the women in Sonny’s life when Ava receives a warning from Carly.

Tracy decides it’s time that Violet has a little bit of a history lesson.

John’s got another plan. Wonder if this one will prove more successful than his last?

Wednesday, August 14:

Michael’s words have an impact on Sasha.

Yesterday, Tracy was offering Violet a history lesson. What will she be teaching Cody today?

Gio provides an ear when Josslyn finds herself needing someone to talk to.

Lean in close and listen in as Willow makes a confession.

Being a godfather and all, we have to assume the offer Sonny makes today is one of the “you can’t refuse” varieties.

Thursday, August 15:

Does Maxie have good reason to be concerned?

Someone is about to be surprised when they receive a rather unexpected invitation from Michael!

It’s Cody to the rescue! Or at least Cody to the attempted rescue!

As if they haven’t been through enough in recent weeks, Molly and TJ find themselves having to make a downright heartbreaking decision. Meanwhile, Sonny goes to Kristina and makes her a promise. But is it one he’ll be able to keep?



The Young & the Restless

Recaps

Phyllis snipes at Sharon, Lucy drinks, and Jack romances Diane. Taking a break from being horrified by what a brat his and Diane’s’ son has become; Jack carves out some time to romance his beautiful missus. What parent can’t relate? Daniel and Heather worry about their daughter Lucy — with good reason. This isn’t gonna win her any popularity contests: Phyllis loses what little patience she ever had with Sharon.

Sally turns to Billy during a painful time, Lily makes a shocking declaration, and Faith discovers Lucy’s drinking. The game is afoot. Now it’s time for Victor and Nikki to settle unfinished business with Lily and Nate. Sharon’s nightmare continues as Cameron keeps right on haunting her. How many times does she have to kill the guy?  When Sally remembers a painful moment from her past, all we can think is… which one? There have been a whole bunch of unfortunate incidents.

Sally hides her feelings from Adam, Summer and Kyle clash, and Billy hatches an idea. A chasm may have opened up between himself and his son, yet Jack nevertheless tries to make peace and repair the rift… between Kyle and Summer. When Sally needs comfort, Adam is there for her. Better late than never, Lily second-guesses her alliance with Billy. Maybe she’s come to realize that not even she can do enough damage control to keep him from sinking Abbott-Chancellor.

Adam’s confrontation with Billy backfires, and Summer and Kyle’s battle escalates. Wow, that must have been a long flight from Baltimore. Only now are Chelsea and Adam bringing Connor home. Claire causes problems for Kyle and Summer. Could Mary Poppins’ conniving side be emerging once again?

When Billy switches gears with Lily, we can only assume that he’s decided to focus more on work than on logos and swag.

Preview! [Spoiler] helps Summer in a custody battle… and he’s not the only one who gets involved!

Phyllis and Diane battle, Summer turns to Victor for help, and Abby and Devon set a date. It pays to have grandpas in high places. Victor pulls some strings to help out Summer. Is Kyle about to lose custody of his own son? First Sharon, now Diane. Phyllis is having a banner week as she goes from getting testy with one rival to pushing another’s buttons.



Next Week

Turning points become exclamation points: while Kyle is on the receiving end of an ultimatum that he can’t possibly accommodate; Billy has had it with the beating around the bush. He finally interrupts Chelsea’s guilt trip with what is sure to be an explosive confrontation. Elsewhere on the canvas, Nikki makes a move that leaves Victor asking, “Are you sure, my darling?” and Lily is offered advice by the last person she (or anyone!) should listen to.

Restless Rant! Young & Restless explodes as Jack eyeballs [Spoiler], Victor puts Adam in play, and Summer’s deal-breaker reignites a dangerous rivalry!

Monday, August 12:

Victor tasks Adam with targeting Billy. Which ordinarily wouldn’t be a big deal? Who doesn’t love to stick it to smug Billy Boy? But considering the secret that Adam’s keeping… eesh. This is gonna be less fun for him than awkward.

Summer might as well insist that the sun cease all relations with the sky when she demands that Kyle cut ties with Audra.

Chelsea goes on a guilt trip. Or more like, she continues on the guilt trip she started the minute she cheated on her boyfriend with her ex.

Tuesday, August 13:

This is what happens when siblings aren’t taught to share: Jack takes issue with Billy using the family name. Next Jack will want Billy to reserve their private jet in advance!

Phyllis gives Lily unsolicited advice. Because who wouldn’t heed words of wisdom from the mother of the ex who cheated on them and who not so long ago was nearly sent to prison after faking her own death to frame her nemesis?

Brace yourselves for a shakeup when Nikki makes a shocking decision.

Wednesday, August 14:

Victoria receives surprising news from Claire. The question is, will it be the good kind of surprising news… or the bad?

Love takes flight! Traci arrives home with Alan. We give it 10 minutes before she’s like, “On second thought, let’s go back to Paris.”

As if they ever really went away, Jack’s trust issues with Billy resurface.

Thursday, August 15:

Although Victor questions Nikki’s judgment, it doesn’t sound like her big decision results in one of his “my way or the highway” declarations. At least not yet.

Adam and Chelsea share their concerns about Connor. Hopefully in a room without a bed in it!

Sharon has really been put through the wringer lately, and she’s not out of the woods yet. In fact, today the beleaguered heroine is backed into a corner.

Friday, August 16:

In what for him constitutes a team-building exercise, Victor challenges Kyle and Audra. “‘Work for The Mustache,’ they said. ‘It’ll be fun,’ they said.” Mm-hmm.

The fit is about to hit the shan when at last Billy confronts Chelsea. On the plus side, maybe she can put an end to her guilt trip.

At the same time, Adam keeps up appearances with Sally, which is bound to make the truth hurt even more when it eventually comes out.



The Bold & the Beautiful

 Recaps

A mysterious woman watches Brooke and Ridge, Hope fantasizes about Finn and Poppy swears Luna to secrecy. Brooke and Ridge make a big splash in Monte Carlo, digitally launching the new Brooke’s Bedroom line to a throng of press and fans. Check out photos from their overseas adventure here.

Brooke breaks the Internet, and Taylor watches “Bridge” before calling Steffy. Rather than make a cup of tea or do some work, Steffy and Hope spiral, arguing while waiting for news of the new line’s success. Brooke and Ridge’s love is palpable as they hold center stage at a press conference. Somehow we doubt even a single reporter will politely suggest that they “Get a room, you two!” Panic sets in when the website for the Brooke’s Bedroom line crashes. That should be an easy fix, though, right? Switch it off, switch it back on? That’s what IT always tells us to do.

Brooke and Ridge fly home, and Hope thinks about taking Finn from Steffy as the couple celebrates their love. Sounds like it’s gonna be as hot a day as the one in which Brooke came up with the formula for BeLieF: She and Ridge share a loving moment as they revel in the success of what they created. Hope fantasizes about Finn as he demonstrates to Steffy that nothing and no one is stronger than their love for each other.

Luna spills the beans about the backpack, and RJ tells Katie. Luna’s new life is as close to perfect as it is close to coming undone. Overwhelmed by her feelings, she unburdens her fears to R.J. While asking difficult questions, Nancy Drew Katie stumbles upon an extraordinary answer.

Katie sounds the alarm about Poppy, and Sheila gets too spicy for Deacon’s taste. What a think tank! A murderess (Sheila), an ex-con (Deacon) and a jealous ex (Katie) ponder the overdose deaths of Tom and Hollis. Katie finally finds what she’s been looking for. But it could leave her in grave danger.



Next Week

Katie went so far as to accuse Poppy of murder — not to her face, though, to Bill’s! Luna’s mom is sure to have as big a reaction to her rival’s allegation as Quinn ever did when the Logan sisters ganged up on her. And just wait till Poppy sees that Katie has brought Deputy Chief Baker to Bill’s house with incriminating evidence!

But the big twist to come is the show’s crossover with The Young and the Restless. On a trip to Los Angeles, Christine and Danny mix business with pleasure. They celebrate the relaunch of the Brooke’s Bedroom line with the Forresters and Logans.

What’s more, Ridge has a proposition for the couple that might just make regular visits to the City of Angels a must. Danny manages to squeeze in a rendition of his chart-topper from the 1980s, his cover of David Essex’s “Rock On.”

Somewhere over the week, Hope is sure to have another of her racy flights of fancy starring Finn, too. And hopefully, Taylor (now Rebecca Budig) will make her way home so we can learn more about her agenda.
