Weekly Recaps & Spoilers: February 24-28, 2025 (February Sweeps)

 


The Young & the Restless

Recaps

Holden begs Audra to meet, and Lily calls a truce with Victor. It’s surely for the best that Victor and Lily call a truce. Those who remain at odds with The Mustache seem to wind up having one close shave after another; just ask Jack! Determined to keep their past a secret from Nate, Audra makes a pact with Holden… which all but guarantees that the truth will come out sooner rather than later. Never having been one to sit on the sidelines, Diane takes matters into her own hands. Will the Abbott mansion ever be the same?

Restless Rant! Billy’s lying to everyone as [Spoiler]’s return is set up. Plus, what Amy did to Damian!

Victor shuts down Kyle, Jack stresses about the reno, and Daniel calls out Summer. Victor reveals his revenge plot to Michael. Sorry, we meant to say “his latest revenge plot.” We all know that The Black Knight consults a Vendetta of the Day calendar on the regular. Sensing some envy over Kyle’s relationship with Claire, Daniel gives Summer the third degree. As Jack and Diane make a big move, we have two questions: 1. Would John approve? 2. Will we approve?

The Young & Restless betrayal that will blow up a fan-fave couple, and marks the return of a notorious schemer!

Nikki warns the Abbotts and Claire, Summer and Daniel worry about their mother, and Lauren grills Michael. Unintimidated by even impossible tasks, Nikki works to keep the peace between Victor and Jack. Only a day after Victor divulges his new plan to stick it to Jack, Michael shares a secret with Lauren. Coincidence?  Summer makes a tough decision about Kyle. Here’s hoping she remembers how bitterly they fight and opts to leave well enough alone.

Damian reveals why he stayed in Genoa City, and Phyllis is reported missing. Doesn’t seem like the best way to keep that past connection under wraps, but nevertheless, Audra presses Holden for Intel. Sally is bothered by Billy’s bond with Phyllis — and considering how often history repeats itself in Genoa City. Damian surprises Nate and Amy, perhaps by revealing that he’s packing up and heading back to L.A.

Kyle comforts Summer in front of Claire, and Damian and Amy have an emotional breakthrough. Now we know why it’s best to be on Victor’s good side. Rather than plot against Lily, the tycoon uses his resources to help Neil’s daughter. When Kyle tests Claire’s loyalty, their romance will either become even more solidified… or vulnerable to interference from his ex-wife. In the wake of Holden’s bombshell, Nate vows to protect Amy.

Next Week

It’s all about “Where are Sharon and Phyllis?” As the search for Nick’s missing exes begins, Adam goes all out to dazzle Chelsea (to excellent results), Audra drops a bombshell on Nate, and Victor brings in the big guns for Lily’s sake.

Monday, February 24:

What the…?!? Phyllis and Sharon are missing in action. Why do we suspect that this has something to do with the fact that Ian Ward isn’t as dead as everyone thinks he is!

Chelsea plots her next move with Adam — and this time, it won’t just be in his dreams.

In what promises to be a defining moment in their relationship, Audra tells Nate the truth about Holden.

Restless Rant! Young & Restless’ Sharon and Phyllis go missing… why it’s not surprising. Plus, Damian’s big secret, Victor vs. Jack, Summer/Kyle/Claire, and more!

Tuesday, February 25:

Phyllis finds herself in dire circumstances, while Sharon is forced to make a difficult decision. Will the longtime nemeses discover that they are one another’s only hope?

It sure seems as if Ian might be stirring up trouble again!

Wednesday, February 26:

Victor and Lily’s spat behind them, he recruits Michael to help Neil’s daughter.

Making himself at home, Nate’s newfound half-brother Damian puts down roots in Genoa City.

Being a Newman, Adam pulls out all the stops to impress Chelsea. Some of the stops just weren’t gonna cut it.

Thursday, February 27:

Victor warns Nick about Sharon, who at this point really needs an OSHA clock to mark the number of days between calamities.

Adam and Chelsea give in to temptation.

Phyllis stands her ground. So why is there a hunch the ground on which she stands is shaky at best?

Friday, February 28:

Figuring that the less Billy knows, the better, Nick and Daniel keep a secret from Phyllis’ business partner.

Now that Audra has filled in Nate, she sets boundaries with Holden.

Suspicion mounts about Phyllis and Sharon. And while we’re sure they’ll emerge from their predicament alive and well, what we really want to know is whether they’ll come out the other side… being civil.



The Bold & the Beautiful

Recaps

Ridge and Carter have it out over Hope, who walks in on an unexpected scene. As guilty as Carter may be feeling now about his coup, he nonetheless stands his ground with Ridge. Taylor and Steffy believe Brooke’s motivation is reuniting with Ridge. We’ve got two words for Taylor and Steffy: Well, duh! That’s always Brooke’s motivation! A broken relationship *finally* healed… then blown to bits again!

Hope confronts Ridge, and Brooke asks him to come home. Since Operation Daphne Rose went nowhere, Ridge, Eric, and Steffy brainstorm a different plan to take down Carter and Hope.

Hope puts her cards on the table, and Brooke and Ridge fight about Hope. Sounds like the wheels are about to come off the car, as Hope is alarmed by Carter’s stunning admission. Knowing that this is the worst possible news he could drop on his wife, Finn attempts to find the courage to tell Steffy the truth about Luna.

Oh, snap! Bold & Beautiful is laying the groundwork for a ‘Steam’ reunion…

Steffy makes a sweet gesture toward Liam. Here’s hoping that it’s telling him he should call up Ivy, ’cause there’s no reason in the world those two shouldn’t be together! Poppy pesters Finn to keep his secret to himself. But he’s too much of an upright guy to choke down a whopper that big.

Steffy’s floored to learn Finn and Poppy had sex, and Bill hires Remy. Finn makes a decision. Could he possibly opt to leave bad enough alone and withhold from Steffy his connection to the young woman who plotted to kill her? Since the restaurant already employs a gun-crazy psycho and is owned by an ex-con, Remy might actually have a shot when he attempts to get rehired at Il Giardino. Nozawa power… activated. The sisters reunite when Li makes a heartfelt apology to Poppy.

Next Week

The moment of truth finally arrives…In other words; Finn confesses to Steffy that he slept with Aunt Poppy just long enough ago for Luna to be his surprise daughter. And just when you’d think it couldn’t get any worse for the couple, Remy deduces who Bill’s houseguest Luna is, and Deacon has reason to worry that Sheila is fixating on Finn again. But the news isn’t all bad — not for everybody, anyway. Ridge does a metaphorical happy dance over the prospect of taking back control of Forrester Creations.

Monday, February 24:

Steffy learns the truth about Luna’s paternity.

Tuesday, February 25:
