Meanwhile, the lady in question decides she needs to say goodbye to Alex. But is this really farewell, or more a “see ya later”? Chad and Cat do everything they can to stay under the radar. But will laying low bring them closer than ever? Family time is precious, which makes the time that Paulina, Lani, and Chanel spend together so very valuable.

General Hospital

Recaps

Lulu reunites with Dante and Rocco, Molly and TJ are finally honest with each other, and Sonny helps Kristina find peace.

Carly plants a bug in Brennan’s office, and Molly moves out of her and TJ’s department. While we’re accustomed to Sonny making people offers they can’t (or at least shouldn’t) refuse, this time it’s Jason who goes to Brennan with one. Meanwhile, Sonny is busy listening to Dante and trying to offer the best guidance he can. Isiah has a bit of personal news to discuss with Jordan, while Curtis is there to listen to TJ.

Did Jordan have a hand in the good news that Isiah is about to share with her?

The Bold & the Beautiful

Recaps

Hope attempts to defend the coup even as Carter winds up paying a hefty price for what he’s done! As Hope and Brooke go head-to-head over the current scandal, we’ll bet you a closet full of Spectra Fashions hand-me-downs they can’t find a way to see eye to eye. We can only hope that as Ridge and Carter face off in an all-out battle for control of Forrester Creations, the dressmaker points out that his COO isn’t a Forrester so that everyone’s favorite wedding officiant can note that neither is his boss. (Right, Massimo?)

Ahead of Paris/Thomas wedding, Diamond White receives the most amazing gift — “and it came with a horse!”

Steffy and Taylor discuss Brooke’s marriage, while Hope gets a shocking bit of news. Hope drops a bombshell on Carter. Hopefully, after warning him that he might wanna sit down for this one!

We thought we’d never see the day: Bobbie Eakes back on the set!

Steffy makes a beeline for Hope while Brooke promises to do damage control. Deacon spices up Il Giardino with a surprise addition. As long as he’s not putting Sheila’s toe cookies on the menu, that’s fine by us. Ridge and Steffy strike a decisive blow to Hope’s future. As if firing her and having her escorted to the elevator wasn’t decisive enough! Who will be left standing when the kerfuffle at Forrester is settled?

Brooke hears Ridge blaming Hope, and Hope and Steffy have it out in the cabin. Hope doesn’t back down when Steffy launches a fiery attack. Are we headed for a new entry in our countdown of soaps’ best slaps? Will is on edge when Electra and Remy’s past begins to be told. Shove over, kid; we wanna hear this story, too.

Crew Morrow has landed another role already — and a surprise witness that surfaces surrounding his character’s crime will turn an entire case into turmoil.

Carter rocks the Forresters’ world, Luna gets her heart’s desire, and Hope warns Brooke. Bill reads one of Luna’s letters, and it’s a game-changer. Erm, need we remind him of Luna’s reign of terror? With Forrester Creations on the line, Carter ignites a storm from which there is no turning back. So when does the Walton-Logan sign go up?



Next Week

The stakes are so high, you’re gonna need binoculars to see ’em! As battle lines are drawn and deepened, the Forresters and Logans collide as never before. By week’s end, Forrester Creations isn’t even under Forrester control anymore. What’s more, Remy seizes an opportunity to flip the script, and Bill and Luna play a dangerous game.

The Young & the Restless

Recaps

Kyle’s decision could change the future of Jabot — plus, Michael is shocked by Sharon’s choice. 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”.

Nick thinks they may have found the key to Sharon’s behavior as Jordan lurks in the shadows. We should all have an ex like Nick Newman. Today, he crosses the line to help Sharon — and 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.

Diane is pleased by Jack’s proposal — plus, Jordan and Claire come face to face. 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 an end. The letters M, Y, O, and B never having meant diddly to Summer, she interrogates Kyle about Claire.

Nick warns Adam to stay away from Sharon, and Christine grills Phyllis. 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?

Victor learns Jack outplayed him, and Summer spills Claire’s big news to Kyle. 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?



Next Week

Nate goes to the mat for Audra, Victor regains his advantage, Billy and Diane put their heads together, and Sharon is on the receiving end of the only kind of news she gets these days: bad!

Monday, December 9:

OMG, what now? As Nick and Mariah share disturbing news with Sharon, all we can think is, “Sheesh, how much more can this poor woman take?”

Prepare to “wig out” when master of disguise Jordan takes on yet another new persona.

Kyle keeps the peace between Summer and Claire — this time. But what next time? And the time after that? Kyle may have unwittingly just become a full-time referee.

This week’s Restless Rant looks at what’s ahead on Young & Restless: A twist in Heather’s murder case, Ian and Jordan’s ultimate downfall, and how Victor will get the last laugh on Jack and Diane!

Tuesday, December 10:

Daniel and Phyllis demand justice for Heather. But with Ian and Jordan on the loose, we don’t think “just deserts” will be on the menu for quite a while yet.

The honeymoon’s over. Literally, Newlyweds Abby and Devon return home and regret it for how long? Does anyone want to wager?

Nikki? Mariah? Victor? Phyllis? Adam? We can’t wait to see who it is when Ian crosses paths with someone from his past.

Wednesday, December 11:

Jack should know better than to ever take a victory lap. Before he’s done, Victor always gets the upper hand, as he does for the gazillionth time today.

As if Sharon didn’t already look guilty enough, she spies on Phyllis. This is not going to help your case, Sharon!

Here’s an interesting tag team: Billy conspires with Diane. We’d buy that he can trust her, but is the opposite true?

Thursday, December 12:

We thought we were well past Victor’s doubts about Claire but apparently not. Once more, he tests his granddaughter’s loyalty.

In what can only possibly pertain to the show’s endless game of musical CEOs, Lily makes a tough decision.

Audra makes a promise to Nate, giving the impression that these two might just have stumbled upon something real.

Friday, December 13:

Better late than never, Sally evaluates her feelings for Billy.

Phyllis and Michael’s friendship is tested. If you ask us, it already flunked the test.

Nate asks Devon and Lily to give Audra a second chance.
