The Bold & the Beautiful

Last week…

Luna stalks Hayes’ school, and Brooke kisses Nick. The unexpected arrival of Nick Marone sets the stage for a charged encounter between him and lost love Brooke. “Some things,” remarks the seaman, “never change” — one of them, no doubt, being his feelings for the one that got away. At the Beach House, a silent observer hides in the shadows through a long lens. Could it be… Luna? Um, could it be anyone but Luna!

Luna vows to make Steffy sorry, and Nick wants a commitment from Brooke. This oughta put some pep back in her step. Nick wastes no time in romancing Brooke. He’s had a lotta practice over the years, too. In an emotional heart-to-heart, Taylor and Ridge confront the truth about their love and the woman who is still between them. And let’s be real, always will be.

Preview! An unexpected split for [Spoiler]… but it doesn’t come just in the “Nick” of time!

Luna makes contact with Hayes, and Nick gets the boot. Stranger danger! Luna gives an unexpected gift to half-brother Hayes (who was recently recast). Run, kid! Run! Be sure to have the popcorn popped ahead of time because you won’t want to miss a second of Nick pushing Ridge’s buttons.

Brooke tells Katie about Nick, and Ridge sounds off. Despite Hope’s objections, Steffy attempts to get Daphne back to Los Angeles. Is the truce that was brought about by Liam’s grim prognosis about to be broken? When Brooke tells Katie about Nick’s surprise visit — and their kiss — little sister is quick to form her own opinions. (Keep in mind that Katie once had it bad for Nick herself!)

Brooke and Taylor argue, and Deacon reacts to Hope’s engagement. Shocker: Taylor and Brooke disagree. The topic at hand? Ridge and Nick, with whom the perpetual rivals have both been seriously involved.

Coming up…

Luna thinks that her sexiest dream is coming true. But there’s more to her hookup with Will than meets the eye—or any other part of their anatomy, for that matter. In other developments, Taylor pops the question to Ridge, and Nick assumes the role of town crier.

Monday, June 23:

Oh, Nick, making mischief already! Ridge’s half-brother listens in on a pivotal conversation between the dressmaker and Taylor at Il Giardino.

While Luna defends herself to Sheila — erm, how? — Steffy, Finn and Will conspire against the double murderess.

Tuesday, June 24:

When Ridge responds to Taylor’s burning question, will he agree to once again become her husband? For the five minutes that it usually takes for him to run back to Brooke?

While Steffy and Finn wait and worry, Will takes desperate measures to ensure that Luna doesn’t meddle in any of their lives ever again.

Regrets, she’s had a few. So Katie is in a unique position to offer Brooke affectionate advice about her relationship troubles. (Though what troubles they are, we can’t imagine; Ridge is a jerk, and Nick is besotted!)

Wednesday, June 25:

Blargh. Electra may not be the only one who feels sick as she watched Will and Luna kiss during his attempt to get her to confess on camera. Side note: Has anyone ever heard of entrapment?

As Nick gets ready to share with Brooke what he’s learned — well, overheard! — Ridge and Taylor indulge in their love.

Thursday, June 26:

Never being prepared for any shocker, Brooke naturally reels from the bombshell that Nick drops on her about Ridge and Taylor.

Oopsie. Luna catches on to the sting operation that Will is running, and when she does, let’s just say that things take a turn for the… um… unexpected.

Friday, June 27:

With Luna on the run, Sheila tells Deacon that betrayal is the Spencer way. As opposed to what, ma’am? Your family’s way, which is, not to put too fine a point on it, homicidal?

Get that popcorn popping, because today’s the day that Ridge confronts Brook with the truth. But will it be the truth that he’s remarrying Taylor (again) or wants to reunite with his Logan (again)?



The Young & the Restless

Last week…

Dumas watches his guests, and Nate wants Holden gone. 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.

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

Nikki doesn’t want Sharon back with Nick, and Billy and Victor keep bickering as Dumas lures guests into a mysterious maze. 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. Tension at Dumas’ party means trouble ahead for Billy and Sally…

Mariah drops a bomb on Tessa, and Danny gives Daniel huge news. 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

Updated! Billy Flynn confirms he’s playing [Spoiler]…

Dumas prepares to reveal himself, and Audra takes Kyle by surprise. 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.

Teasers galore! [Spoiler] crashes Dumas’ party, a scandal’s afoot, and a guest we didn’t even know was invited is revealed!

Dumas reveals himself to Lily, who is stunned to find herself reunited with Cane Ashby. The wait is over: Aristotle Dumas reveals himself to his guests. Not only that, but Amanda’s real connection to him is exposed as well.

Coming up…

Now that Dumas has been unmasked as Cane Ashby, what comes next? Cane’s “guests” demand answers, Lily does something unexpected and Amanda has her hands full.

Monday, June 23:

Patience is a virtue that Victor definitely doesn’t possess. But when he pressures Cane for answers, will the newly minted billionaire spill?

While everyone has questions, Lily might have more than most, given her personal history with Cane.

Needless to say, the game Cane is playing is all any of his guests want to discuss!

Restless Rant! Cane’s about to rock Victor’s world. Plus, not one, but two cheating scandals in the making!

Tuesday, June 24:

Done playing games, Victor insists that Cane come fully clean. But can he really get Lily’s ex to put all his cards on the table?

Nikki and Jack put their heads together in the hope that by comparing info, they might come up with answers. (Of course, we suspect Victor won’t be thrilled by their teaming up!)

File Lauren and Michael’s arrival in France under the category of “better late than never.”

Abby’s about to run into a very familiar face.

Wednesday, June 25:

Given that Amanda knows exactly how Phyllis operates, she’s the perfect person to run interference.

What will Adam and Chelsea discover when they do a little digging?

With everything going on, Lily is glad to have Damian to lean on.

Thursday, June 26:

Cane may want to keep his eyes open, because several forces are aligning against him… including Billy and Sally!

Audra knows exactly where all of Kyle’s buttons are located and is ready to push them. Meanwhile, Claire is back in Genoa City throwing some serious sparks with Holden after he comes to her rescue.

Friday, June 27:

Nick wants to know exactly what Cane has up his sleeve and what his intentions are. But will he get any more answers than everyone else who’s raised those same questions?

Sharon and Phyllis find themselves reliving their recent kidnapping trauma. Will they lean on one another or fall back on their old habit of butting heads?

Wonder how Cane will feel about the very big move Lily makes… with Damian!



General Hospital

Last week…

Brook Lynn slaps Lulu and then begins to look into Britt Westbourne’s past. 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. Oh, gee… what now? Poor Gio is troubled by what he overhears.

Baby Daisy is mixed up in the nursery, and Willow is discharged from the hospital. Sasha is alarmed. Great — now so are we. Curtis makes Michael an offer… perhaps the kind that he can’t refuse? While Josslyn pitches an idea to Vaughn, Emma gets the upper hand. Since Lulu is pleasantly surprised, does that mean that her apology has been accepted?

Someone spies on baby Daisy, and Drew proposes to Willow. The spring missing from her step since Lucky’s exit, Elizabeth makes a revelation, so what the heck was up with that baby switch, huh? 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.

Daisy gets another visit from an unknown person, and Sidwell is revealed to have bribed the judge in Michael and Willow’s custody hearing. 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!

Willow agrees to marry Drew, and Tracy is pushed to accept Martin’s offer. 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!

Coming up…

Carly’s concern for Sonny, Jason’s advice to Dante, and the special occasion that brings people together.

Monday, June 23:

Tracy is about to make one heck of a public scene. But to what end?

Jordan and Curtis find themselves strolling down Memory Lane. Are they walking toward a reunion? And is that what’s got Portia so worried?

Nina is taken aback.

Tuesday, June 24:

Wait until you see who Nina turns to when she needs help.

What will Drew do with the information that falls into his lap?

Something’s pushed Portia to the point that she’s lashing out! But at whom?

Can Curtis find a way to convince Trina that everything will be fine?

Wednesday, June 25:

Gio’s parents — that would be Brook Lynn and Dante — finally have a conversation about their son.

Why does Alexis want to take a meeting with Elizabeth?

Sorry, Martin, but you’re about to get the kind of news nobody wants to receive.

Marco makes a delivery.

When Cody does what he’s been told, does this mean he’s about to seduce Ava?

Thursday, June 26:

Carly knows more about Sonny than your average bear, so what is it he says that has her so worried?

Jason tries to help Dante see things a little bit differently.

Will Lucas take the advice Lulu’s offering?

Brook Lynn is not thrilled by what she sees.

Marco makes a discovery.

Friday, June 27:

Nothing will be able to brace Sonny for the shock he’s about to receive.

Jason and Carly find themselves reminiscing about the past.

Daisy’s loved ones gather to mark a special occasion.
