Monday, April 21:

Doug’s gambling — and the debt he’s incurred — put him in a precarious position, which could turn dangerous!

Tuesday, April 22:

After Anita receives a much unexpected offer, she may have to make some tough decisions!

Things are getting tense at Bill’s law firm, putting him in a difficult position.

Chelsea has her plans all worked out… but a decision made by her mom could derail everything!

Wednesday, April 23:

At long last, Dani chooses a path for herself. Will she be able to stick to it?

Ted suggests he and Nicole cancel their big anniversary bash in favor of going somewhere together, just the two of them. Might he suspect that Leslie has something up her sleeve?

The Bold & the Beautiful

Recaps

Luna strips down for Will; Poppy slaps Sheila, and Brooke and Taylor butt heads. Carter reassures Brooke over their lost loves. At least she has a new love on the way. But what about Carter? He does have options. Sheila pushes Poppy over the edge. But based on the preview for this week, at least there’s also cake over the edge, Shades of Sally Spectra! Luna disguises herself as a delivery person to see Will. But is that really such a good idea?

Will fends off Luna, Brooke warns Daphne, and Sheila and Poppy food fight. Will finally rids himself of Luna. The spoiler doesn’t say “for now,” but c’mon. He’s only rid of her for now, and we all know it. She’s as delulu as Granny Sheila. Electra confides in her Aunt Ivy about her dilemma with Will. Mon dieu! Brooke erupts when she overhears Daphne’s plea to Carter.

Alum Rena Sofer shares how she and her husband ended a ‘tough week for us.’

Bridget’s shocked by Liam’s secret, Sheila eggs Luna on, and Deacon supports Hope. Bridget surprises Liam by saying she is working on his behalf.

Category is “Things We Could’ve Guessed”: Luna tells Sheila she will not give up on getting Will to be her own. Deacon advises Hope on relationships based on her past.

Hope warns Deacon about his wife, and Finn shocks Sheila. Li reminds Finn that, father or not, he is to stay far away from Luna Nozawa. How long do you think it will be before he accidentally bumps into his daughter? Steffy and Liam express their joy at being Kelly’s parents.

Bold & Beautiful is squandering a golden opportunity. But it would be easy to turn it around.

Liam flees the hospital for Kelly, and Finn texts Steffy with life-changing news. Liam becomes determined to take Kelly to her dance despite Bridget and Grace’s objections. He wouldn’t risk his recovery for one night, would he? Five tissue box alarm! A tragic twist for Liam and Kelly’s daddy-daughter dance may be in the cards. Kelly confides in Steffy that she wishes Liam would be at her dance more than anything. Will Kelly’s miracle come to pass?

Next Week

On the one hand, we’re getting a Forrester Creations fashion show, which is always fun (even if it would be a thousand percent more fun if the design dynasty had any competitors at all on the canvas!). In L.A., to appraise the gowns coming down the catwalk are not only reality-TV personalities Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, but influencer Markell Washington. (Strangely, no R.J.; does Ridge and Brooke’s MIA son no longer make TikToks, or what?)

Also on hand is The Young and the Restless’ Lauralee Bell, whose legal eagle alter ego, Christine, can’t seem to resist a front-row seat at her West Coast pals’ version of Project Runway.

In other developments, a backstage fracas ensues when it appears that Taylor gets herself and her eternal romantic rival, Brooke, locked in a back room. “What have you done?” Ridge’s “destiny,” exclaims.

Oh, and here comes the really bad news: Liam’s dying. (So they say, anyway.) Steffy tells Finn that it has to be her who breaks the news to her former husband that his days are numbered (and that number isn’t terribly high, either). But Liam isn’t exactly, “Oh, well, it happens to us all eventually. I had best accept my fate.” No, on the contrary, he adamantly refuses to accept that he’s a goner.



The Young & the Restless

Recaps

Nick promises not to reunite with Phyllis, and Traci leaves for New York. Better late than never, Jack addresses Diane’s habit of keeping secrets. Somewhere, you just know Phyllis is dying to put in her two cents! If you can’t trust your sister with your secrets, who can you trust? Nick makes a confession to Victoria. As Traci looks for closure, all we can say is that we’re rooting for ya, hon.

Soapbox! Is Alan still alive?! Plus, Damian dishes deets, Jack one-ups Victor, and more.

Damian comes clean with Lily, and Audra gives Nate unsettling news. It’s now or never. When Lily presses Damian to come clean, will he finally tell her the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? As Nate gives Holden a warning, Audra makes a bold move. Will it mean the end of Kyle and Claire’s relationship… or her own romance with Nate?

Jack needles Victor, and Holden and Claire get closer, as do Lily and Damian. Victor, in desperate need of a hobby that doesn’t involve harming others, sets a trap for Billy. An old pro at bending facts to suit her needs, Audra stretches the truth. Another day, another shocker: Jack and Kyle discover deception at Jabot. Isn’t there usually? Thanks to Victor’s diabolical scheme, Holden hooks up with… who?!

As Daniel Goddard settles into his new role on General Hospital, his son has a familiar — yet hysterical — message for fans.

Victor warns Nikki about trouble, and Audra toys with Kyle. No matter how wrongheaded he is, he just never can admit, can he? Victor stands his ground against the Abbotts. Proving that the couple that plots together has a shot together, Jack and Diane plan their defense. Thankless jobs are nothing new to Nikki. So today she does one that she’s often forced to: She tries to keep the peace.

Victor refuses to back down, and Diane confronts Michael. Victor plays his cards close to the vest. No doubt right next to his money clip and his mustache comb. Lily shares her concerns with Amy. Kyle who? No need to repeat past mistakes when there are so many other characters that could be Summer’s new love interest. When Diane puts Michael in a compromising position, will he come through for his friend… or remain loyal to Victor?

Next Week

Its turning points left, right and center as Kyle is faced with a challenging choice, Billy goes to extremes to get his point across, Victor does what one never, ever should with Nikki, and a stiff breeze starts blowing in the direction of Audra’s house of cards.

Monday, April 21:

Having been there and done that, no matter where “there” is or what “that” is, Nikki is the perfect person to point granddaughter Claire in the right direction.

Sally receives an interesting proposal from Billy. We want to focus on the word “proposal” here and imagine that maybe he’s popping the question, but c’mon. You just know it’s gonna be business-related.

Daniel finds himself at a crossroads. Based on the preview that came out, what seems like eons ago, we have a hunch we know which way his storyline is going.

Restless Rant! Y&R’s next romance is an eyebrow-raiser! Plus, why is it’s “hard to get through a whole episode”?

Tuesday, April 22:

She may have buried the hatchet with Sharon, but not everybody. So Phyllis delights in pushing Sally's buttons.

No stranger to difficult choices, Kyle is perhaps uniquely prepared when he’s called upon to make a tough decision.

Tessa comes to the rescue of someone in need of help. Please don’t let it be Ian Ward in a fake mustache and glasses.

Wednesday, April 23:

Since Billy crosses the line to make a point, we hope it’s an important one. Because some lines, you can’t uncross.

We’ll be holding our breath along with Nate and Damian when they receive an update about Amy’s condition.

Holden keeps Audra on her toes. And here we kinda thought he was more interested in sweeping her off her feet.

Kyle who? He’s not the only fella who could be Summer’s next love.

Thursday, April 24:

Victor keeps a secret from Nikki. Yeah, we doubt that she’d take kindly to her better half turning loose Audra in hopes of ending Claire’s relationship with Kyle.

When Claire opens up to Victoria and Cole, they’re sure to understand, right? Having been married and divorced, hitched to lots of other people, and mourned a daughter who returned from the dead, their level of empathy oughta be off the charts.

Diane sets the stage for a big reveal. Fingers crossed that this isn’t another “Billy’s redo of the Chancellor mansion”!

Friday, April 25:

Diane pulls out all the stops to impress Jack. Will he be thrilled with what she’s done… or horrified?

Chelsea questions Adam’s motives. In other words, what she should do pretty much every day.

It ain’t gonna be pretty when Lily gives Audra the third degree. Lily is not playing these days. When she wants answers, she damn well wants answers!
