Weekly Recaps & Spoilers: June 16-20, 2025



Beyond the Gates

Last week…

Bill processes some difficult medical news, while Kat sets the perfect trap for Leslie and Eva. When Kat takes things into her own hands, is she simply making herself Leslie’s next target? Well, more than she already has! Nicole can’t help but wonder exactly what Eva’s up to and whether her motives can be trusted. Rather than come to blows, the women in Bill’s life come together as he deals with his health crisis.

Dani and Andre go public(ish), Shanice surprises Bill, and the Articulettes reunion is on! Chelsea manages to connect with Madison. Will this turn into something real? Naomi, who believes herself responsible for Bill’s condition, is comforted by Vernon. Things are about to get complicated between Dani and Andre. Why? Because of Bill, of course!

While Dani and Nicole unleash their rage, Leslie fears she’s finally been caught. Anita gives Vernon an update on the Articulettes and their potential reunion. As Chelsea worries about her dad, Madison is there to offer her support. Sure sounds like something real is happening —

Ted makes Eva a tempting offer, Nicole helps Martin with his nightmares and Leslie falls for Kat’s trap. Unfussed by the state in which Laura was left, Kat continues to play a dangerous game. Will setting a trap for Leslie work… or only serve to make her more dangerous than ever? Smitty’s got a new assignment at work. But it could cause big problems for his hubby, Martin! Will Eva accept when Ted comes to her with an unexpected offer?

Dani issues a warning, Kat and Chelsea settle into their new digs, the Mystery Man approaches Martin and Ashley gets a shock. The lines between the past and the present are more blurred than ever for Martin. There’s nothing wrong with admitting you need glasses, buddy! Ashley can’t help but question Derek’s intentions. Is she right to be afraid? Is Chelsea biting off more than she can chew where Madison is concerned? It seems that way as Chelsea finds herself being challenged on an emotional level!

Coming up…

Martin is consumed with memories from his past, Dani and Andre have a stunning confession to make, and Smitty has no idea of the secrets that his investigation threatens to expose — plus, Nicole delivers life-changing news.

The Bold & the Beautiful

Last week…

Luna runs into Remy at the shooting range and uses Steffy’s face as a target. It seems like only yesterday that Sheila was cackling with Luna about the appeal of bad girls like them. But now Sheila makes a plea to Poppy about her fellow murderess. Not knowing her treacherous plan, Remy unwittingly helps Luna. Then again, given the extremes to which he has been known to go, would it matter if he was aware of what she was plotting?

Luna focuses all of her anger at Steffy, and Poppy warns Finn. Remy is stunned when Luna confesses why she has a vendetta against Steffy. Please let him be all like, “Girl you locked her in a cage. That’s game over.” Rather than even consider that she’s the reason she’s persona non grata, Luna thinks of Steffy as the only thing between her and her happiness.

Annika Noelle pays tribute to the queens who fortify her “bravery in being my authentic self.”

Poppy yells at Luna, Hope makes an appeal to Liam, and Finn unleashes on Luna. Sounds like Luna’s gonna make her umpteenth plea to spend daddy/daughter time with Finn, ’cause her energy shifts to malice when he holds his ground. Ah, yes, there is another story playing in the background this week: Hope urges Liam to share his diagnosis with everybody.

Bold & Beautiful just told us who will foil Luna’s plan… and it’s the last person you’d ever expect!

It’s a sad day as daytime mourns beloved General Hospital and Bold & Beautiful leading man Chris Robinson, who passed away at 86.

Preview! Brooke breaks down and hits rock bottom after more bad news… but [Spoiler] will throw her a life-preserver.

Bill makes a confession to Li. “On second thought, maybe I shouldn’t have gotten a double murderer sprung from prison.” Here we go again. Just a year after “Sheila” broke into Steffy’s home with murder on her mind; Luna surprises her would-be victim there.

Following a “bad car accident,” Scott Clifton’s girlfriend credits him as her ‘hero.’

Luna hatches a plan to make Steffy pay, and Brooke pines for destiny. Get ready, because Luna is about to prove to Steffy and Finn that she’s more dangerous than they ever could have imagined. Hope comforts Brooke, who is now without Ridge, Hope or Beth. How much longer till we get [Spoiler] back in L.A.? Steffy doesn’t realize that she is in danger, but how? If she knows Luna is in her house, she’s gotta know she’s in trouble. That kid is capable of anything.

Coming up…

One character has cause to rejoice… and another couple of ’em, big-time reason to fear.

So who’s the lucky one? That would be Brooke, who gasps at the sight of lost love Nick, played once again by the returning Jack Wagner. “Some things,” remarks the seaman, “never change” — one of them, no doubt, being his feelings for the one that got away.

Another constant? Ridge’s dislike for his half-brother. There are a million reasons for Ridge to hold a grudge against Nick, from the reminder that Massimo, not Eric, is his biodad to the fact that the shipping magnate wants Brooke every bit as much as his sibling rival does. But Ridge sums up the issue thusly when speaking with Taylor: “I just don’t like the guy. I never will.”

As for the characters who should be shaking in their boots, that’s Steffy and Finn. She’s all in her husband’s corner, telling her mom that “he’s not even thinking about himself, he’s thinking about keeping us safe.” From? “From Luna,” Taylor adds helpfully.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like anything can protect them from the murderess. Luna shows up outside of their son Hayes’ daycare and tells the little boy (who now has a new portrayer); “I have something for you.” Considering that the psycho is packing heat, we’re petrified to find out what it is!



The Young & the Restless

Last week...

Mariah snaps on Tessa, and Nick and Sharon get shocking news from Phyllis. To put it mildly, Phyllis has had it rough of late. So don’t mind if we raise a glass with her as she celebrates a win. It’s going to be PTSD — as in post-traumatic stress disaster — when poor Mariah experiences déjà vu’. As the former marrieds try to figure out what the future holds, Sharon makes a promise to Nick.

Audra puts her plan into action, and Holden explodes. Never mind that it’s like urging a fish to swim or a bird to fly, Victor encourages Audra to play dirty. Damian and Holden’s friendship is tested. The question is, will it pass the test? Jack and Diane agree to meet Dumas. If they haven’t seen our photo gallery, they might be surprised by his true identity.

Sally gets cold feet, and Chelsea hatches a plan. Victor gives Adam a pat on the back. Oops. Sorry. Typo. Victor gives Adam an ultimatum. It’s always ultimatums with that guy! This oughta be interesting: Caught between a rock and a hard place, Chelsea seeks Nikki’s advice. Proving herself to be beyond indispensable, Sally does damage control for Billy.

Young & Restless just laid the groundwork for Dumas’ party to cause total chaos in Genoa City… when a perfectly crafted plan spirals out of control!

Why Daniel Goddard felt his time on Young & Restless ‘amounted to nothing’ — plus, what’s next for General Hospital character.

Audra gets what she wants, and Chelsea’s outplayed by Victor. Bound and determined to reduce Billy’s reputation to rubble, Victor drives a hard bargain with Chelsea. While Kyle receives Claire’s blessing, Audra keeps a secret from Nate.

Egad! Mariah’s dark secret is tied to [Spoiler]… and the truth changes everything we thought we knew.

His life in pictures: As the son of Greg Rikaart turns 9, photos tell the sweet story of “the world’s most loved and secure kid.”

Danny and Christine return, and Lily and Abby square off ahead of Dumas’ party. Just around the corner! Billy Flynn teases Y&R debut and drops a message for the fans! Devon’s been in the game for long enough to know what he’s doing when he protects his family’s legacy. Christine and Danny return home. But will she have a “rock on” her finger? Since it's Friday the 13th, though spoilers make no mention of it, Dumas’ big bash should be getting underway. Credit where credit is due: It’s no mean feat standing one’s ground with Phyllis. Yet Tessa does exactly that.

“A truthful exploration” of Kristoff St. John’s life is the focus of a documentary on the beloved star.

Coming up…

After weeks — months! — Of build-up, we’re finally going to meet the much-discussed Aristotle Dumas! Holden lands in hot water, Billy does his best to play puppet master, and Tessa grows impatient with Mariah.

Monday, June 16:

Restless Rant! A sinister twist marks [Spoiler] for death at Dumas’!

Speaking of the mysterious mogul, today, Victor reveals more details about the man of the hour.

When Chelsea makes a confession, will the truth come with a side order of consequences?

Holden may want to watch his step now that Nate is putting him on notice.

Tuesday, June 17:

Stepping up when his wife needs him, Victor helps Nikki make the best of a bad situation.

Phyllis makes herself at home — and why not? Our Red has never been the shy type, has she?

As sure as ever that he can’t fail, Billy sets his plan in motion.

Wednesday, June 18:

As Daniel continues to try to regain his equilibrium, he receives words of advice from dear ol’ dad Danny.

Now this sounds like a recipe for a good time: Adam and Chelsea mix business with pleasure.

Tired of being kept in the dark, Tessa finally loses patience with Mariah. Will the redhead at last disclose her dark secret?

Thursday, June 19:

Jack has second thoughts about meeting Dumas. C’mon, Jack, what’s the worst that could happen?

Lily arrives at the party looking for the same thing she has been for weeks now: answers!

Whoops. Kyle likes to think of himself as too smart to be fooled, but he’s about to fall into a trap.

Friday, June 20:

The wait is over: Aristotle Dumas reveals himself to his guests. Not only that, but will Amanda’s real connection to him be exposed as well.

Michael’s news shocks Carly, Sonny and Jason. Trina and Kai put their heads together. Isaiah picks up on Portia’s distress. Nina is on the warpath. Felicia accepts a new mission. There’s only one way Willow can be redeemed at this point…

Roger Howarth may just have the answer we’ve all been waiting to hear: Who really killed Austin?

The judge awards full custody to Michael, and Kristina tells Alexis about her plan. Shockwaves rip through the courtroom at Michael and Willow’s hearing. Elizabeth tends to a patient. Ric makes an admission. Ava issues an invitation. Alexis swallows her panic.

Monday, June 16:

Jason is a thorn in Drew’s side. Which we suppose is at least less painful than a bullet in his side.

Carly shows her appreciation to Brennan. The question is, ahem, how?

Better late than never, Lulu, who’s been working fans’ nerves, offers an apology.

A good time is sure to be had by all when Tracy meets with Martin.

Tuesday, June 17:

Just as Michael and Sasha have a frank talk, Willow faces a major decision.

At the same time as Trina and Kai get big news, and Curtis rebuffs Portia.

Thursday, June 19:

Though Sonny wants answers from Sidwell, we don’t imagine this will be a hang-him-from-a-meat-hook scenario.

Lulu and Isaiah meet for drinks. Is it a coincidence that this same day, Jordan bends Anna’s ear?

As the dust settles around Michael, he catches up with Jason.

Marco is conflicted. Get used to it, pal. Most everyone in Port Charles is!

Friday, June 20:

Emma and Gio have a memorable encounter. In a good way, we can only hope.

What are friends for? In Ava’s case, to offer Nina words of wisdom.

Tracy feels cornered. In other words, she’s about to come out swinging, right?

As Kristina warns Michael, Willow makes an announcement. Is she finally cutting Drew loose? That’s one way Willow could be redeemed!
