Weekly Recaps & Spoilers: December 23-27, 2024

 


The Young and the Restless

Recaps

Sharon finally remembers something important, but Ian is ready to just do away with her entirely! Sharon takes a big risk to prove her innocence… and what could possibly go wrong with Martin, er, Alan leading the hypnosis session? Although Phyllis doesn’t really require a push in this particular direction, Billy nonetheless encourages his partner-in-plotting to make a bold move. Popcorn alert! Ian today reveals details about his past with Jordan. We can’t wait to hear how the gruesome twosome first crossed paths!

Young & Restless intrigue ahead: Phyllis and Billy’s plot against Victor, Sharon’s hypnosis reveal, and Nate’s new bad-boy big brother!

Billy disowns Jack, and Diane struggles with Kyle’s ongoing trust issues. If Billy’s planning to use Jack in his plan to get revenge on The Mustache, he is bound to be frustrated when his brother stands his ground! Tasked with the relaunch of Jabot classics, Diane vows to prove herself at the family company. (As long as she doesn’t use the formula for Gloria’s tainted face cream, she should be fine!) It’s take your granddaughter to work day as Nikki helps Claire start a new chapter.

Traci helps Jack, and Esther doles out advice from Mrs. C. Victoria’s got a lot on her mind — including Claire’s new role in the family business. Perhaps the wise words offered by mom Nikki will help calm her. Jack and Traci recall memories of Christmas’ past. Diane receives support from a rather unlikely friend.

Sharon has a stunning revelation under hypnosis, and Nate and Amy learn Damien’s been found. Nate and Amy ask Denise Tolliver (Telma Hopkins) to help find Damian. (And yes, that means we’re getting a very special reunion.) Could the very shocking discovery made by Sharon and Nick put them on a path toward clearing her name once and for all? Phyllis had her whole scheme laid out before her, but she’s about to make a few key adjustments. Something tells us this could prove problematic!

Ian kisses Jordan after luring Tessa into his trap, and Sharon struggles to put the pieces together. As if Jordan doesn’t already deal from the bottom of the proverbial deck, Ian suggests that she’s not playing dirty enough!  Daniel does his best to keep up appearances, if only for the sake of daughter Lucy. As things spiral further out of control all around them, Nick can’t help but worry about Sharon’s safety. Will him playing hero finally lead to a reunion for the longtime supercouple?



Next Week

Surprises abound as someone shows up at Sharon’s who is not just making an Amazon delivery, Phyllis is on the receiving end of an appealing invitation, and Kyle is given a present fit for the man who has everything.

Monday, December 23:

Victor reminds his family about the true meaning of Christmas. Wait, at what point did Mr. Resentment, Revenge and Retaliation learns the true meaning of Christmas?

Lauren and Michael’s holiday plans are interrupted. Dare we hope they’ll — and we’ll — be getting a little quality time with Gloria or Fen?

Sharon receives an unexpected visitor — perhaps long-MIA son Noah?

Restless Rant! Sharon’s life is in danger… Plus, fans sound the alarm: “Excruciating”.

Tuesday, December 24:

Kyle receives a special gift from Jack. Maybe it’s time to replace the chip on the brat’s shoulder?

When you think of holiday cheer, Phyllis’ name might not be the first one you think of. Nevertheless, she’s out and about spreading merriment like a one-woman St. Nicola.

And from the “She’s Gonna Need a Christmas Miracle” files: Diane wants to make amends with Ashley and Traci.

Wednesday, December 25:

In a repeat of the episode that aired on Christmas Eve 1985, Victor is torn between Nikki and Ashley.

The Bold and the Beautiful

Recaps

Katie sees something shocking, while Ridge is comforted by one of his ex-wives as the other wonders if they’re really over. Remy’s schemes against Will and Electra take a darker turn. Gee, and here, we thought they were pretty dark to begin with. Carter and Hope revel in their victory, their passion igniting as they embrace the chaos their coup has unleashed.

Carter chooses a CEO and Katie fires Electra. Eric, Ridge, Steffy and Zende join forces, crafting a plan that could change everything. Or, more likely, change everything back. Katie and Brooke announce a major switch at Forrester now that Carter and Hope are in charge.

Carter asks Brooke to be his CEO and Will reels as a sobbing Electra shares her bad news. Ridge and Steffy grow increasingly worried as Eric watches the empire he built unravel. Uh-oh. Is the Forrester patriarch headed for another health scare? Maybe he can be convinced to rest on his laurels. He has already lived one heckuva life.  Unbeknownst to Electra, Will confronts Remy and goes so far as to level a threat against the stalker. Which is very gallant, we suppose — if it doesn’t make Remy so mad that he strikes back.

Brooke confides in Zende, and Ridge reels after a shocking announcement. Steffy, Ridge, Eric and Taylor are stunned as they watch a live social-media broadcast, where Carter drops a bombshell announcement that none of them saw coming. As Brooke reclaims her old role, she may be next in line to get a new man… with a very familiar face!

Ridge makes love to Taylor as Brooke arrives. Crushed by this latest act of perceived treachery, Ridge has a moment of harsh clarity about his life. Bet right about now he’s wishing a pine cone would fall on his head and tell him the direction in which he should go.



Next Week

Zende could never have imagined just how important he would become, and yet he’s suddenly a major player in the Forrester/Logan feud. But to whom will his loyalties ultimately belong?

Despite the heartbreaking scenario in which she finds herself, Brooke manages to connect with the true spirit of the season.

General Hospital

Recaps

Joss says goodbye to Dex, Anna wants answers, and Nina and Willow take the kids and leave the Quartermaine estate. In the wake of Dex’s shocking death, Josslyn needs someone to lean on. Will Jason be able to help her cope?  Things ain’t lookin’ good for Elizabeth, who finds herself standing at a crossroads. Lulu’s reunion tour continues. Answers are needed, and the dream team of Anna, Mac and Felicia are on the case. Someone better watch out, because Carly has her determined face on!

Tracy lays into Sasha, Anna has another request for Jason and a villain returns to Port Charles. Maxie has a special invitation for Cody. And while it’s not the kind you can’t refuse, he probably won’t want to! Sasha has made a decision, and she’s sticking by it! Ah, some things never change… as proves true when Lulu and Brook Lynn find themselves butting heads! Anna and Jason are once again working together as she takes him into her confidence. They say the best surprise is no surprise, and Lucky will probably agree with that after the rather nasty one he gets today!

Sawandi Wilson ties the knot — and tears up the dance floor to celebrate!

Port Charles’ former T.J. is all grown up and looking like “millions”.

Cam returns home, and Curtis and Michael sabotage Aurora. Usually on the best of terms, something’s got Carly going to Jason in a fighting mood! When Ava approaches Nina, hat in hand, might she be asking for help with her current financial difficulties? Michael takes a meeting with Curtis. As Josslyn is overwhelmed by her grief, Trina — who knows a thing or two about that — is there for her best friend. Are stolen moments really the best? Drew hopes so when he manages to snag a few with Willow. There may be no bringing Dex back, but the same can’t be said for his portrayer. Here’s why.

Drew learns Curtis has taken over Aurora, Joss gets a visit from Dex, and Michael’s served papers. Jordan and Isaiah are about to get a whole lot closer… wink wink, nudge nudge! When Drew gets a wake-up call, will he be smart enough to answer it? Gio opens up to Brook Lynn… whom more than a few viewers suspect might actually be his mom! Tracy butts heads with Martin.

Next Week

It’ll be a short week thanks to a rerun and a pre-emption, but there’s still plenty going on in Port Charles. Liz and Lucky reminisce, Sonny clashes with Brennan, and Jason does something that catches Anna off guard.

Monday, December 23:

The holidays are all about good times and family, and it looks as if Anna could have an extra special reason to celebrate!

With Lucky and Lulu both home for the first time in years, it’s not surprising that Laura is taking time to count her blessings. And speaking of Luke and Laura’s daughter, Lulu is about to make someone a promise.

It’s not unusual for people to get caught up in memories around this time of year, which is what’s about to happen for Elizabeth and Lucky.

While much of Port Charles is busy celebrating, not everyone is having a peaceful holiday, as evidenced by the clash Sonny and Brennan are about to have!

Tuesday, December 24:

While we’re not sure that showing an episode which aired back in May is the same as a “classic,” but that’s what we’ll get from General Hospital today.

Wednesday, December 25:

Don’t’ worry; you won’t have to sneak away from the family to see what’s going down in Port Charles today. Why? Because the show is being pre-empted for sports coverage.

Thursday, December 26:

Guess the holidays are over, ’cause Dante is about to get some pretty alarming news.

Brady loves Belle dearly, but that doesn’t mean he’ll do anything and everything she asks, as proved today. Will Philip understand when Kate explains what’s got her so afraid? Shawn and Roman finally have a chance to catch up with one another. How will Roman react to what’s been going on in Shawn’s personal lie? It looks as if this week, Tate’s in for a very big — and getting bigger — surprise.

The court case ends the only way it ever could, and Joy’s private live is very publicly discussed. They say the truth will set you free. But can Belle convince Sarah that revealing what she knows is the best option? At long last, we — along with Philip and Xander — will find out who has a rightful claim to Titan. We’ve long believed that feelings are like treasures and should be buried. But Stephanie’s having a tough time keeping hers under wraps! Will Alex accept Johnny’s apology?

Abigail’s family accepts she’s gone and Belle takes on EJ! Talk about being the last to know! It seems Felicity will finally be filled in on the fact that Cat is her sister. Gabi makes a realization about JJ. But will it be enough to change the way she’s treating him? Jack and Jennifer should brace themselves, because Chad is about to share some bad news with them.

Sophia drops a bombshell on Tate and Doug figures out what to do with the necklace. Tate is about to get the kind of news best described as “life-changing.” Given how Julie feels about Gabi, it’s not surprising that she’s taking JJ to task for dating Rafe’s sister. Meanwhile, Javi realizes the truth about Gabi’s feelings. Is this really the end for Cat and Chad?

Tate makes it clear that he’s going to be there for Sophia. Maggie suggests that no matter how Holly is feeling, she should take things very slowly with Tate. Jennifer wants to know more about the newly-arrived Doug, and hopes Julie can fill in some of the blanks. The good news: Ava and Brady are heading out on a date. The bad news: Things most definitely do not go as planned!

Marlena can’t help but miss John, and tells Brady as much.

Friday, December 27:

Frankly, we’d never want to be in Leo’s debt. But after what he does for Doug, the newbie might find himself in just that position!

Jada and Rafe are about to set their wedding date!

Belle’s future could look very bright if she accepts the job offer about to be made!
