Recaps

Somewhere, Taylor’s ears have to be burning as Eric encourages Brooke to keep her love alive with Ridge. Read our take on the twist.

Finn promises to always be the second dad that Kelly wants and needs. And also to bring a spotter anytime they go to the beach together.

Brooke and Eric plan a surprise for Ridge, and Taylor and Brooke’s confrontation promises trouble at the fashion show. The Forrester Creations fashion show begins with reality stars, influencers and even a Young & Restless visitor in attendance. Get a sneak peek via our new preview photo gallery from the extravaganza.

Taylor’s shaken when Eric and Brooke put their plan into action at the fashion show. Eric and Ridge are full of excitement as the fashion showstopper is about to come down the runway. But something tells us they may be in for a surprise. At the same time, Brooke and Taylor’s unknown and undetectable presence causes undue stress and brings even more heat to the already electric catwalk.

Buckle up! Steffy’s most explosive clash ever is dead ahead.

Next Week

“Bizarre” might be the best word to describe this week: On one end of the canvas, Liam loans Hope a lighter in hopes that she can spark anew with an old flame. On the other, a woman from Carter’s past positions herself as an immovable obstacle between him and the woman who wants to play a big role in his future.

The Young & the Restless

Recaps

Nikki pushes Claire to defy Victor, and Daniel quits Abbott Communications. 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 it’s “hard to get through a whole episode”?

Sally warns Billy about Phyllis, and Claire gives Kyle unexpected news. 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.

Billy gives Phyllis an ultimatum, and Amy leaves Genoa City. 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.

Diane holds her big reveal, Nikki grills Victor, and Cole returns. 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”!

Lily grills Audra about Holden, Jack reacts to the remodel, and Adam has a proposal for Chelsea. Diane pulls out all the stops to impress Jack. Will he be thrilled with what she’s done… or horrified? And how do you feel about the new Abbott mansion? Scroll through photos of the remodel. 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!

Next Week

The road ahead takes a twist that Phyllis didn’t see coming; Michael pushes Lauren to her limits, and Nikki steps up for a couple in need of an ally.

Monday, April 28:

Michael had to know that a big part of working for Victor was going to be winding up on the receiving end of ultimatums. But the lawyer doesn’t have to like it — and won’t when the latest one is handed down!

Lily plays nicely with Holden. Which sounds to us an awful lot like playing with fire, given what a charmer the Genoa City newcomer is?

Enjoy the momentary peace between John’s sons while it lasts: Jack gives Billy a vote of confidence.

Restless Rant! Young & Restless’ [Spoiler] is marked for death! Plus, can the soap turn things around for May Sweeps?

Tuesday, April 29:

Billy and Phyllis’ partnership takes an unexpected turn. OK, but will it be unexpected to him, her… or both of them?

Mariah is painfully aware that honesty is the best policy, yet she nonetheless keeps a secret from Tessa.

Dunno if they’ll be successful when Audra schemes with Sally, but they should at least be a whole lotta fun.

Wednesday, April 30:

Victor can huff and puff all he likes, but if there’s one person who refuses to toe his line, it’s Nikki… which makes her the perfect individual to take matters into her own hands to help Claire and Kyle.

Victoria pushes Cole to make a tough decision. As if there are any easy ones while involved with a Newman!

Lauren receives unexpected news. Something tells us she’s getting pretty damn sick of Victor saying jump and Michael doing exactly that.

Thursday, May 1:

Victor raises the stakes with Audra, though what we wish he’d do is come to his senses.

Yup. We called that one. Lauren loses patience with Michael. Will she make her husband choose between her and his boss?

Summer deals with a professional crisis… which may actually wind up being a trickier issue for someone else.

Friday, May 2:

Victor encourages Adam to play dirty. Wait, since when did Adam ever need encouraging to get all scheme-y? That’s factory settings for him!

Chelsea makes a bold move that she just might regret. Is Summer’s crisis Chelsea’s exit?

Phyllis needs no reminders that a mother’s work is never done. That being the case, she worries anew about Daniel.

Danny definitely hasn’t moved beyond his mom’s tragic death, as is proven when he opens up to Jason about Sam. Molly draws a line in the sand with her dad. Cody needs medical attention

Carly is updated on Sonny’s prognosis. Watch out, world, ’cause Nina is ready to play dirty! It’s official: Former Spencer has a new leading lady. Brook Lynn and Lulu are about to clash, big-time.
