Meanwhile, Leo is across town having a conversation with Marlena about both his business and personal life! While we’re all for Johnny seeking advice, is EJ really the best person to be offering it up?

(Want to catch up on Eli and Lani’s story? We’ve got you covered!) The plan to make Clyde pay for his sins and bring him down once and for all hits a major snag. Will Chad and Cat find a way to get their revenge plot back on course? Get the tissues out, because Julie is about the have her world rocked upon discovering that her beloved Doug has passed away.

General Hospital

Recaps

Michael betrays Drew, Lulu makes her big escape and Ava’s trial begins. All of the pieces are in place for big drama as Ava’s trial finally gets underway. Trust us when we say that this is going to get very messy very quickly… especially since things kick off with Kristina being called to testify! Lulu has been awake all of two minutes, or so it seems, and yet she’s already putting it all on the line and taking a big risk! Will it pay off? Plus, why is Cyrus so fixated on Lulu? Curtis has a long, open-hearted conversation with Jordan.

Nicholas Alexander Chavez talks about “favorite go-to's” and reveals whether General Hospital is still one of his faves.

Sasha learns she’s pregnant, Lulu comes home, and Kristina is grilled by Ric in court. If you’re anything like us, your heart still beats faster when you hear the words “Lucky” and “Elizabeth” mentioned in the same breath. While we’re not sure if they’ll manage to find their way back together, Lucky is there when Elizabeth needs assistance. As the biggest trial to hit Port Charles in ages continues, Dante is the next person to take the stand. Will his testimony put the final nail in Ava’s proverbial coffin? And what exactly is the trick that Ric has up his sleeve? Will Cody wind up regretting his actions when he helps a stranger? Or might his good deed have a positive outcome?

Brook Lynn and Chase lay their hearts on the line during an honest chat. Lulu sees someone familiar… but is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Although the soap will air today, it will not be a new episode. In fact, the episode being shown — which originally aired on July 19 of this year — isn’t even a particularly special or classic outing. Look for Jason and Carly to continue reconnecting, Trina to be hit with a wave of emotion as she continues processing Spencer’s death, and Tracy to be charmed by newcomer Gio.

Not only will the show not be airing a new episode today, they won’t even be airing a rerun. Instead, look for sports to take over ABC’s afternoon lineup.

Maxie has a chance to catch up with Dante when he pays her a visit.

Jason and Carly will find out exactly where Danny stands… but will it change anything? Later, someone has an urgent request they hope Jason will help them with.

Isiah has a bit of personal news to discuss with Jordan, while Curtis is there to listen to TJ.

If only she knew he had the classic stalker wall full of photos of her. Ridge’s disbelief soon turns to anger when Brooke spills Hope and Carter’s secret. Their next move is clear.

Ridge calls in Justin Barber, and Electra shows Ivy deep fake photos of herself. Electra finally lets Ivy in on why she fled home for Los Angeles — but of course, it’s not what anyone would expect! Remy works his magic on Deacon, who is intrigued. Will the newcomer wind up becoming Il Giardino’s latest waiter… or will he just walk away with free breadsticks? Ridge reels from Carter’s betrayal. Maybe the dressmaker is forgetting his bestie’s meteoric rise in the fashion world. If so, he can jog his memory with our new photo gallery of Carter’s life and loves.

Ridge wants Carter to dump Hope, and Hope flips over Brooke’s betrayal. Ridge calls in high-end attorney Justin Barber to fix the mess that Carter has left. Considering how untrustworthy Justin is, that seems akin to inviting a fox into the hen house, but what do we know? Et tu, Mama? Hope spirals when Brooke shatters her world with the ultimate betrayal. Guess when it comes down to it, destiny trumps daughter.

John McCook has a new No. 1 fan… who just happens to be one of his castmates.

Next Week

With Forrester Creations on the line, Carter ignites a storm from which there is no turning back.



The Young & the Restless

Recaps

Adam reaches out to Sharon, and Phyllis rakes Michael over the coals. Frankly, he had it coming. (Here’s why.) If we were Billy, as Victor pushes his buttons for the zillionth time, we’d have to be thinking of having them surgically removed. No stranger to doing things that he regrets, Adam offers moral support to his former wife Sharon. Of course, what she really needs is a clue as to who is behind her current predicament. Phyllis has a painful reminder about her accident. Could it trigger a memory that will help her figure out that Sharon wasn’t really to blame?

Hunter King sends a sweet message to honor a “national treasure.”

Young & Restless rant: How Ian and Jordan will be exposed! Plus, a “sicko” twists for Sharon and Daniel, and the most offensive plot point of the week.

Billy wants to team with Phyllis, and Kyle makes a difficult admission. No one will be asking “Who’s the boss?” when Nikki embraces her new role at Chancellor Enterprises. No matter how entitled Billy may be, it’s not going to be a good look for him when he loses his cool with his ailing mom Jill. Jack works to repair his relationship with Billy. Maybe leaving him be would do the trick. You know, let absence make the heart grow fonder and all that. Burned by an old flame! Sally’s headed for yet heartbreak.

More: Linden Ashby’s latest exit from Young & Restless.

Daniel Goddard teases ‘something truly incredible’ coming our way: “I’ve missed you.”

Diane gives Kyle his job back, and Claire accepts Nikki’s job offer. Victor warns Claire about Kyle. Which is just plain odd? A guy who once replaced Jack with an evil twin is warning a woman who pumped Nikki full of vodka against dating a fella who is, at worst, an unrepentant brat. What, they still have cards up their sleeves to play? Go on, then, Jack and Diane. Let’s hear what the couple has to say as they make a confession about their deception. Nate opens his home to Amy. Yeah, yeah, but when are we gonna meet his brother, dang it!

Courtney Hope faces her fears head-on, leaving the former leading man cheering, “Good for you!”

Young & Restless will be pre-empted for CBS sports coverage for Thanksgiving and Friday.

As Billy dives heart-first into a new romance with Sally, review his life and loves. Bet there are some Billys in there you won’t even remember!



Next Week

Leftover turkey is the least of our favorites’ problems: On one end of the canvas, the hot seat in which Sharon finds herself gets even hotter, and on the other, Christine is called upon to do the unthinkable.

Monday, December 2:

Victor needs no advice from Kenny Rogers about when to hold ’em and when to fold ’em. He knows perfectly well that the best way to play his cards is the way that he does today: close to the vest!

She’s come a long way from her days bumping and grinding at The Bayou! Now a well-established mover and shaker of an altogether different sort, Nikki settles into her new role at Chancellor.

Can we get a referee, please? ’Cause we’re gonna need one when Phyllis and Summer demand answers from Sharon.

Restless Rant! See if you agree with our grading in Y&R’s November Sweeps report card. Plus, what’s coming up, and a guest rant about “whiny baby men”.

Tuesday, December 3:

We should all have an ex like Nick Newman. Today, he crosses the line to help Sharon — heaven knows she needs all the help she can get!

Claire has seen the red flags waving, yet she still allows herself to be romanced by Kyle.

Proving herself to be an indispensable minion, Crazy Aunt Jordan gathers Intel for Puppetmaster Ian.

Wednesday, December 4:

They’d probably be wise not to hatch any more schemes shortly. But nonetheless, Jack has a proposal for Diane.

Michael counsels Sharon through a tough decision — no doubt the first of many that she will have to make as the year comes to calendars M, Y, O, and B never having meant diddly to Summer, she interrogates Kyle about Claire.

Thursday, December 5:

Hell must be freezing over, because however reluctantly, Christine takes steps to help Phyllis. And yes, it felt weird even to type that sentence!

Perhaps hoping that his romantic track record doesn’t speak for itself, Billy proves himself to Sally. Where, exactly, is the button that will allow us to reach through the TV and scream at her, “Run? Run away — fast!”

Sharon is up to her eyeballs in stress these days. So the way Nick sees it, the last thing she needs is Adam trying to “lend a hand.” Will the black sheep of the Newman family listen when his half-brother warns him to keep his distance from their ex-wife?

Friday, December 6:

We wouldn’t play Tiddlywinks with Victor, much less poker, and here’s why: He doesn’t even blink as he calls Diane’s bluff.

Always ready to play devil’s advocate, Nikki questions Jack’s motives.

When Kyle receives mixed signals from Summer, how will he interpret them?

Back in Salem, the 'slap seen 'round the world'!
