A jealous Dani reads ‘basic’ Ashley for filth, while Vanessa puts her life (and more) in Joey’s hands. Smitty and Jacob compare notes, and it unearths a startling memory for Jacob. Vanessa serves Joey an ultimatum. Dani gets territorial over Andre.

Nicole gets physical with Leslie, while Kat sabotages Eva’s new job. Pamela has an unconventional idea for the modeling agency. Kat sabotages Eva’s new position at Ted’s office. Nicole hits her boiling point with Leslie.

Coming up…

Things turn physical between Martin and a stranger, Marcel sets out on a dangerous assignment, and Smitty receives grave news — plus, while the Duprees welcome a new houseguest, Elon takes charge.

Monday, July 14:

A bad situation gets worse when Martin winds up having a physical fight!

Hayley’s last attempt to bond with Ashley didn’t go particularly well. Will Bill’s bride have better luck this time? And why is she so hellbent on reconnecting anyway?

Madison continues to wonder if she rushed into things with Chelsea, who works to assure her that they are on the same page.

Tuesday, July 15:

Joey has an assignment for Marcel, and it will see the cop walking into a potentially dangerous situation.

When Naomi follows a lead into June’s past, it might bring the attorney one step closer to a future-rocking bit of info.

Smitty’s taken about as much as he can. Now, he’s going to do whatever it takes to keep his family out of harm’s way!

Wednesday, July 16:

It looks as if we are finally going to find out what happened with Martin two years ago! Will the entire truth come to light?

Returning from Chicago, Anita is shocked to learn everything that’s gone down in her absence!

Who’s really in charge? That’s going to be a hot topic as Bill and Vernon clash!

Thursday, July 17:

Smitty is about to get a visit from Jacob, who has incredibly dark news for Martin’s husband!

Vanessa reveals something that has Nicole digging for more information. (Perhaps she and daughter Kat should form a detective agency, given how often they mount investigations!)

Friday, July 18:

One of Anita’s daughters is about to get a stern talking-to.

Samantha makes a plea to her father.

Elon puts Jacob in his place and asserts control over the investigation in the process.



The Bold & the Beautiful

Last week…

Li has a surprising take on Luna, and a shot rings out as Luna and Sheila struggle. Finn is surprised by Li’s take on Luna. Why, we don’t know. The only thing that would surprise us would be if Li were suddenly sympathetic. Someone gets shot during Luna’s attempt to execute her diabolical scheme. But who is it? Luna, Sheila, or Steffy? Or could it be someone else entirely?

Liam appears to go into the light after a bloody scene unfolds at the beach house. Steffy is shocked to hear what Luna reveals and then stunned all over again by what she does next. But should she be surprised, considering Luna’s off-kilter history? Steffy’s loved ones are all hot on Luna’s trail. Let’s hope Deputy Chief Baker is, too! Luna’s plan goes awry, and more people go down! Are we sure this isn’t a late May sweeps?!?

Luna and Liam fight for their lives, and Hope rushes to the hospital. While all hell is breaking loose, Carter promises Hope that he will be a good stepdad. But, he adds, Liam should stay involved in Beth’s life as long as he can. Li, Grace, and Bridget get to work in surgery as three (!) people have been shot.

In the wake of the beach house bloodbath, Bold & Beautiful’s biggest twist is yet to come! Egad! Someone doesn’t survive surgery — but who? A difficult realization about Liam is made. Hmm. That doesn’t sound like the miracle we’ve been hoping for.

Sheila breaks down over Luna’s death, and Steffy lashes out at Bill. Poppy stands firmly in her statement, which astonishes Li. Bill understands why everyone is angry with him, but all he wants to do is see Liam. Good luck with that, dude. Given that he freed Luna, what he wants is at the bottom of everyone’s list of concerns.

Coming up…

Doesn’t sound like there are a lotta lines for Scott Clifton to learn for Liam, as Steffy and Hope’s ex is either in surgery or unconscious. In other developments, Ridge and his on-again/off-again spouses make a promise that ya just know they won’t be able to keep, and Luna’s passing — as if she’s really dead — is acknowledged by the two people who cared and one who… Yeah, we can’t figure out why he has any reaction other than relief.

Monday, July 14:

Finn, Sheila, and Deacon mourn the passing of Luna. Deacon? Really? Even after she murdered two of his friends and left Il Giardino severely short-staffed?

Like it or not, Luna’s reign of terror may have just jump-started a redo of yet another story from the past.

Tuesday, July 15:

Bill waits impatiently as Grace operates on Liam. Hopefully not so impatiently that he starts tapping on the glass of the observation window!

Wednesday, July 16:

Bridget and Finn admire Liam’s resilience after all that he’s endured. There’s a hunch he’s not done enduring stuff, either.

Thursday, July 17:

Rather than leave his son where he is to recover, Bill whisks an unconscious Liam away from the hospital. Here we go. Cue the miracle cure!

Friday, July 18:

Brooke, Taylor, and Ridge vow to stay supportive and united, unaware of whether Liam will live or die. Of course, the second they know one way or the other, you’ve gotta figure that, as usual, the deal’s off!



The Young & the Restless

Last week…

Nick warns Phyllis about Cane, and Audra and Kyle raise suspicions. Waste not, want not, right? Victor seizes an opportunity to strike back. Cane isn’t going to know what hit him when he’s pursued by Phyllis. Despite setting a tempting trap, Audra receives at best mixed signals from Kyle.

The restaurant’s patrons got double the Genoa City fun! Eric Braeden shares photographic evidence of his real-life run-in with a castmate.

Sharon questions Phyllis on Nick’s behalf, and Jack and Billy clash. No one is going to believe Phyllis’ shocking next move… not even Red herself! Jack gives Billy an ultimatum and a drink refill. OK, not that last part, but we always think ultimatums go down easier with a drink. Here’s a twist that once would have been unthinkable: Nick and Sharon team up to help Phyllis.

Danny and Christine get engaged, and Cane rages after seeing Lily and Damian kiss. Danny pops the question to Christine. Will she let him put a “rock on” her finger? Unafraid to take big risks, Lily makes a bold move. Victoria makes a painful decision. How much more can she take?

Cane surprises Audra and Kyle, and Adam grills Holden. A grief-stricken Claire leans on Holden just as Kyle and Audra fight temptation. Putting their heads together, Adam schemes with Chelsea.

Look for a special guest appearance by the green-eyed monster as a jealous Cane confronts Damian about his feelings for Lily.

Phyllis finds herself in a familiar situation — in other words, the dangerous kind. Does she have a nose for trouble or what?

Tuesday, July 15:

Good thing Cane invited Genoa City’s only cop to the South of France. As the host with the most thought that Chance would have to, he investigates a crime.

Wednesday, July 16:

Who needs Jessica Fletcher when you have Devon around to connect the dots?

Melissa Ordway sends beautiful ‘postcards’ of her time away from Abby.

Thursday, July 17:

Victor protects his family’s interests. Which, let’s be real, he does 24/7. It’s his favorite pastime next to sticking it to Jack, Kyle, and Billy…

Cane is forced to defend himself. But against accusations… or an actual attack? Could go either way!

Lily shares damaging information with Chance, perhaps bringing this game of Clue one step closer to an end.

Friday, July 18:

Is this really the time, Jack? Whether it is or it isn’t, the eldest Abbott teaches Billy a painful lesson.

Welp, they held out as long as we suppose they could. But now Audra and Kyle are going to cross the line — and you know the one we mean, too.
