Weekly Soap Recaps: May 5-9, 2025

 May 5

Days of Our Lives: Operation Save Bo Is On But EJ Complicates Everything; A kinder and gentler EJ? Hmmm…we have our doubts. Chanel told Shawn that she understands his point of view. However, she still needs time and space to process his not wanting to go through with the adoption. So, there’s hope for their marriage. Chad confronted EJ about his bidding on Cat in the recent online bachelorette auction. EJ decided to gift the winning bid to Chad. Shawn and Steve continued to plan. Operation Save Bo. The next steps involved Kayla. But there, of course, was a twist.

General Hospital: Rocco’s Life Is On The Line; Who’s to blame for Rocco’s accident? Rocco and a thumb drive were found on the beach, and lives are on the line.

The Young & the Restless: Is THIS Phyllis’ Plot Against Sally? We suspect it will be bold… and beautiful.  Phyllis made a big show of demonstrating for Billy and Sally how much smarter than them she was. Obviously, Phyllis knew that Billy would dump Sally the way he once dumped Lily…and Chelsea…and oh, yeah, Phyllis. Obviously, Billy’s company would fail spectacularly without Phyllis there to make it the same success she’d made all her other businesses. Like…um…well, you know, all those other successful businesses she just can’t recall now.

But if Phyllis was so sure Billy and Sally would self-destruct the minute she stepped away from their table, why did she feel the need to order multiple shots of caffeine and sit there, stewing and plotting and mumbling, “This isn’t over.” Could it be that Phyllis isn’t as confident in Billy and Sally’s failure as she pretends to be? Could she be planning to nudge matters along, as only Phyllis can?

The Bold & Beautiful: Liam’s Impending Death Hit Steffy Hard; Liam’s tragic situation had Steffy in tears…again. Liam in pain, Steffy on her high horse, Hope questioning Carter, and Brooke making yet another desperate bid for Ridge’s heart.

Beyond the Gates: Amazing Grace, Ted’s Disgrace, and Cathartic Conversations; Plus, do not believe a word that comes out of Leslie’s mouth. She sounds sincere, but she’s not. Leslie is making her case to the Duprees. Nicole unleashed her despair all over Ted. And Kat and Eva had it out at the country club. Martin can add Ted using him to his list of traumas. Eva’s whole life has been traumatic, but her mother locking her out of their home was beyond cruel.

May 6

Days of Our Lives: Jada, Gabi, and Rafe Rule Themselves Out As EJ’s Shooter; Did Gabi also rule out Ava? Doug started turning his life around when Roman gave him a job and a place to stay at the Brady Pub. Meanwhile, Tate and Sophia decided they simply have to wait until Sophia turns 18. That’s when she can defy her mom and make her own adult decisions. This means she can place her baby with an adoption agency, and her mom won’t have any say. Elsewhere, Javi continued to contemplate quitting Gabi Chic. And Leo stirred the pot like only he can. Also, Jada, Gabi, and Rafe may have ruled themselves out as suspects. So, who does that leave?

General Hospital: Dante May Have Lost A Son; Dante wasn’t letting things go today. Dante is on the warpath after Rocco’s alcohol poisoning… and it ended with a shock.

The Young & the Restless: Secrets and Silence Rocked Tessa’s World; Tessa’s heart ached as she realized the distance growing between her and Mariah, and she feared the truth was worse than she imagined. Tessa worries about Mariah and the silence between them. Plus, Nick freaks out Victoria by joking that he and Sharon eloped while Diane gives Claire some advice.

The Bold & the Beautiful: Liam Toyed With Coming Clean; Liam almost spoke up…will he soon break the news? Daphne Rose is making another move on Carter, Deacon is speaking his mind, and Liam is keeping his cards close to the vest.

Beyond the Gates: Preempted due to sports programming.

Days of Our Lives: Miracle Drug Fuels New Kiriakis V. DiMera Battle on the Hospital Front; Dr. Jeffrey Russell’s Versivex drug is becoming increasingly valuable to some of Salem’s titans. Philip continued his apology tour. This time, he gave a sincere mea culpa to Stephanie. Not only did we feel his sincerity, but Stephanie did, too. She wasn’t ready to let bygones be bygones, but she hoped they’d be friends again in the future. Meanwhile, Shawn and Belle had a nice moment. Sarah suggested that she and Xander go on a weekend getaway. And Kayla made it easier for Shawn and Steve to plan their heist. Speaking of which, the potential miracle cure for sepsis, aka Versivex, fueled a new battle between Xander and EJ. What’s at stake: the hospital and Bo’s health.

General Hospital: Lulu Is Onto Lois’ Secret; Lulu may have just figured it all out. After watching Dante and Lois spar over Gio, Lulu is onto the big secret.

The Young & the Restless: Could Jack Pick Nikki Over Billy; Your brother… or your ex-wife? Billy is furious that Jack refuses to hate Nikki as much as Billy does. (Billy was furious with Jack about multiple topics during that conversation, including Diane’s choice of tapestries. Billy is very mature.) Billy whined that Nikki was just as responsible for removing Chancellor from Billy as Victor and Jill, so why wasn’t Jack more incensed on Billy’s behalf? Jack distracted Billy with something else for him to throw a tantrum about. But was Billy actually onto something?

The Bold & the Beautiful: Steffy Dropped THE Bomb On Hope; Steffy did what Liam refused to do. Liam struggled to keep his secret, Steffy spilled the truth, and Deacon meddled in his daughter’s love life.

Operation ‘Get Rid of Drew’ Goes Back to Square One; Drew vows to get to the bottom of who drugged him, while Liz wants to know why Isaiah’s been a stranger lately, and Dante throws some blame at Jason. Portia sees something shocking on the news while Lucas is horrified by something, and Dante spreads more blame.

The Young & the Restless: Nate’s Furious as Lily Pushes Damian Spy Plot; Lily’s bold pitch sent shockwaves through the Winters family as Damian weighed his options—and Devon and Nate feared it could blow up in their faces. Lily’s risky move to recruit Damian to rock the Winters family, while Adam and Billy play a dangerous game of one-upmanship, and Victor tightens his grip.

The Bold & the Beautiful: Steffy Shattered Hope’s Entire World; Hope went through several stages of grief as Steffy laid out the cold, hard facts. Steffy spilled the awful truth about Liam’s condition, Finn convinced Liam to reach out to his dad, and Luna decided to go see hers.
