Weekly Recaps & Spoilers: August 19-23, 2023



Days of Our Lives-Peacock 

Recaps

Bonnie nails her audition, Leo bonds with Marlena Hattie, and Gabi seethes with rage. After weeks of feeling guilty about sleeping together while Gabi was behind bars, Ava and Stefan decide it’s time to forgive themselves. Kate turns to Roman to vent about everything and anything related to Body and Soul. Bonnie winds up sharing a bond with Johnny.bIn a town where everyone has a doppelganger, you’d think people would make sure they’re conversing with whom they think they’re talking to. Yet there goes Leo, chatting up Hattie while thinking she’s actually everyone’s favorite shrink, Marlena!

After drinking with Brady, Fiona hits Sarah while driving, and the mystery woman’s DNA test results are in! 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!

The DNA test results confirm the mystery woman is Abigail, and Xander rushes Sarah to the hospital as Fiona flees from the scene of her crime. 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?

Fiona stresses as Xander vows to avenge Sarah, who can’t feel her legs. Plus, Rachel inadvertently tips Kristen off about Brady. 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 Jada 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.

Gabi calls out Ava and Stefan, Abigail appears to have an agenda, and Melinda fires Connie. 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!



Next Week

Monday, August 19:

It’s a huge moment for Jennifer — and Jack is by her side — as she prepares to reunite with her daughter. Meanwhile, Abigail continues to struggle with the truth (or what we’ve been told is the truth!) regarding her identity.

Are the walls closing in on Connie? It seems possible as she’s confronted by Melinda. Which tells us that Melinda might be in big trouble soon, especially when Connie goes into panic mode?

Gabi is ready to rip Ava and Stefan up one side and down the other!

Tuesday, August 20:

Are Johnny and Chanel on the same page where their future plans are concerned? Find out as they sit down to discuss exactly that! Meanwhile, he joins Abe in searching for a star-crossed couple!

The honeymoon is over for Alex and Theresa. Well, actually, it never got started. But today, Justin presents his son with papers that will annul the union entirely.

It’s as if Hattie and Leo are speaking two different languages as they continue to misunderstand one another.

Wednesday, August 21:

Despite her not-so-great situation, Sarah tries to put on a happy face for her husband and mother. Meanwhile, Brady — still unable to remember exactly what went down — fears he might have done something very bad! And the truth could come out sooner rather than later as Jada closes in on a suspect!

Are Chanel and Alex going to be the latest folks to join the cast of Body and Soul? They will if Johnny and Abe have their way…

Chad’s living amid an emotional storm. Will opening up to Julie help him sort through his conflicting feelings?

EJ introduces — or should we say re-introduces — himself to Abigail. Might he manage to jog her memory?

General Hospital

Recaps

Jack Brennan relocates to Port Charles, Blaze is offered an amazing career opportunity, and Nina sets a seductive scene for Drew. 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. Carly is in for one heck of a surprise! When Anna makes a realization, will it have something to do with Valentin?

Blaze leaves Port Charles to go on tour, and Cates sets her a trap for Sonny. Ah, you want proof that things are getting back to normal for Sonny? He is once again taking Jason into his confidence. 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?

Sonny invests in Deception, and James runs away. 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” variety.

Cody comes to James’ rescue, and Tracy is outnumbered by Deception. 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!

Monday, August 19:

Even after everything she’s lived through, what happens today will prove that Laura is still capable of being shocked!

Dante gets news that’s downright alarming.

It looks like that whole Jason/Anna alliance is definitely dead in the water as he calls her out.

Is John pushing all of Sonny’s buttons on purpose? And will he get the reaction for which he’s hoping?

Alexis proves she’s able to leap problems large or small in a single bound when she springs into action.

Tuesday. August 20:

When Sonny makes a vow to Kristina, will it prove to be one he can keep?

The complicated relationship between Nina and Ava may be a bit less so after they sit down for an honest conversation.

Molly voices her determination.

Dante takes Chase into his confidence. Does this conversation have something to do with what catches Sam completely off guard?



The Young & the Restless

Recaps

Summer and Kyle’s truce falls apart, Chelsea confronts Adam, and Victor puts a target on Billy. 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.

Phyllis drops a warning on Lily, Jack takes issue with Billy’s plan, and Nikki makes Claire an offer. 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.

Claire makes an important decision, and Alan makes his intentions known where Traci is concerned. 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. Oh, snap! Young & Restless’ [Spoiler] just crossed a dangerous line… and nobody is sounding an alarm!

Billy and Sally overhear a damning snippet of conversation, and Cameron pulls Sharon’s strings. 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. Nooo! Heartbreak – or *much* worse – ahead for Traci. Is her romance just too good to be true?

Sally wants Adam to come clean, Phyllis confronts Victor, and Audra grows suspicious of Kyle. 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.



Next Week

Adam doubles down, Chelsea fesses up, and Victor gets an enemy exactly where he wants him.

Monday, August 19:

What do you get the man who has everything? Damaging information about an adversary, that’s what. And as coincidence would have it, that’s exactly what Victor, receives today.

For Pete’s sake. By now, they’ve had time to cover their tracks with whole cities. Yet “Chadam” is still trying to keep the wool pulled over Billy and Sally’s eyes.

Summer is just an ultimatum machine these days. Next in line to get one from Kyle’s ex: Audra. Yeah, that’ll go well.

Tuesday, August 20:

We can see the smile on Victor’s face now as he backs Billy Boy into a corner. The question is, will the younger man find a way out of that corner?

Start your stopwatches now, and we’ll see how long it lasts when Kyle and Audra call a truce.

Lily is in good hands when she is offered words of wisdom by Nikki. Ain’t much about which she can’t say, “Been there, done that.”

Wednesday, August 21:

Although Jack plots to destroy Victor’s alliance with Kyle, we’d kinda prefer the Abbott patriarch let his ungrateful son find out the hard way what The Mustache is really like.

Perhaps in thanks for the advice she received, Lily returns the favor and gives Nikki some insider info.

Thursday, August 22:

Better late than never, Diane tries to repair her relationship with Kyle. And it must be possible, right, considering that he forgave her for playing dead all those years.

Sally pushes Adam to come clean. And if he’s smart, he will. All this lying about his one-nighter with Chelsea is only making things worse for him!

When Billy makes a tough decision, will he manage to put someone else and their wants ahead of his own? #doubtful

Friday, August 23:

Chelsea makes a shocking confession. What makes it shocking, we’re not sure. Billy is already pretty darned certain that she cheated on him.

While Chelsea is spilling the beans, Adam stands his ground… even as it is crumbling beneath his feet.

Sharon’s unhappy haunting continues as Cameron plays (mind) games with his longtime victim.



The Bold and the Beautiful

Recaps

Bill reels as Poppy’s arrested, and Will shares doubts with Liam. Liam gives Will brotherly advice about Bill, Poppy, and Katie. We have some words of wisdom for Will, too: Stay out of it, kid. You can thank us later. Katie’s diligent detective work comes crashing down on Poppy. Mm-hmm, because even if Katie doesn’t want Bill herself (and hasn’t in years), she doesn’t want anybody else to have him, either.

Katie wants Bill to take another paternity test, and Brooke and Ridge cut a deal with Danny Romalotti! We’ve got one thing to say to Luna as she lashes out at Katie: Let. Her. Have. It. While on the Los Angeles stop of Danny’s world tour, Young & Restless‘ resident rocker and significant other Christine celebrate the success of Brooke’s Bedroom line at a party at the Forrester Mansion.

Hope kisses Finn, and Danny Romalotti performs his hit song Rock On! Proving that for her the bottom line means her stepmother’s failure at all costs, Steffy seethes over Brooke’s triumph. Party like it’s 1989 as Danny performs his hit cover of David Essex’s “Rock On.”

Hope asks Finn to keep a secret, Brooke and Steffy make amends, and Bill and Luna take a second paternity test! Careful, Finn. As he puts Hope on blast for her rash behavior, he might get all overheated, passions might flare, and… You see where we’re going with this, right? This’ll go over like a lead balloon. At Katie’s behest, Bill broaches the idea of a second paternity test to Luna.

Uh-oh. Sounds like the fit is really gonna hit the shan. When Poppy is stunned by Li’s revelation, we take another big step toward this shocker coming to light. “It’s me, Steffy, your mother, Dr. Taylor Hayes.” At last, Ridge’s ex (now played by Rebecca Budig) keeps her promise to her daughter and returns to L.A.



Next Week

Simmering tensions freaking explode. Not only is Bill sent reeling by Luna’s smooch, but Steffy finds out about Hope and Finn’s illicit lip-lock, and Steffy’s mother Dr. Taylor Hayes (Mom) makes her presence felt in a big way. What’s more, by week’s end, somebody gets an eyeful of something they immediately regret seeing.

Monday, August 19:

Think you were shocked when Luna planted a kiss on the man who, five minutes earlier, she’d thought to be her dad? Imagine how Bill feels! Actually, you won’t have to imagine, because we’re about to find out!

Last week saw not one but two shocking kisses, thanks to Hope pulling Finn into a corner during the party at Eric’s house. What happens next could destroy several lives!

Li admitted that she doesn’t think her sister is guilty of murder. But will Poppy’s pleas pierce Li’s heart or fall on deaf ears?

Taylor’s back in town… but what’s brought her back this time? Will she once again throw her hat into the ring where Ridge is concerned, or might the world-renowned shrink have not only a whole new look but a new attitude to go with it?

Tuesday, August 20:

Taylor swings by to catch up with her favorite ex-husband, Ridge… and while there, she’ll let him know her thoughts on his reunion with Brooke!

Finn insisted that he absolutely, positively had to tell Steffy the truth about the kiss Hope planted on him. Will he regret it upon seeing his wife’s reaction?

Wednesday, August 21:

Can Steffy and Finn’s marriage survive this latest challenge? After making a difficult decision, Steffy decides she needs to confront this particular problem head-on. Watch out, Hope, ’cause here comes Steffy, and she has a major bone to pick with you!

Suddenly, we’re looking at Luna in a whole new light and asking ourselves questions we’d never even considered. For example, could she be the person who killed Tom and Hollis?

Thursday, August 22:

Well, Taylor’s been back on the canvas for approximately 12 seconds, which means the legendary feud between the two sides of Ridge’s family is overdue for a battle. And that’s exactly what will ensue when Taylor hears that Hope kissed Finn. Worse, she hears it from Brooke! And guess who’ll be caught in the middle? As usual, it’ll be Ridge. Wonder which side he’ll come down on?

Friday, August 23:

Katie’s gonna be climbing on her high horse upon finding out that she was right about Poppy all along… at least in some regards!

As if Steffy hasn’t already had a rough week, she’s about to see something she can’t unsee… no matter how hard she tries!
