Weekly Recaps & Spoilers: July 21-25, 2025

 


Beyond the Gates

Last week…

Martin’s Kenneth crisis takes a killer turn — and should Chelsea be afraid of Allison? 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.

Martin’s career is safe for now, but is his marriage to Smitty already over? 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!

Martin finally tells Smitty what happened ‘that night,’ but is it too late to save their marriage? 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!

Smitty sends Martin packing, and Nicole demands answers from her lying family. 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!) Exactly who is about to be welcomed into the Dupree home as a guest? And how long will they be staying? Hold up, Maggie’s married?

Nicole lashes out at her ‘disgusting’ family after learning the truth about Martin’s cover-up. 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.

Coming up…

Chelsea’s ex refuses to go away, Hayley has a surprise for Bill, and Dani gets a tempting offer.

Monday, July 21:

Another day, another secret about Ted coming to light. Needless to say, Nicole is not happy with her estranged husband upon finding out what he’s been hiding!

Chelsea and Bill hit another rough spot as she finds herself furious about his past actions.

Vernon can’t help feeling guilty… but Anita’s going to do everything in her power to snap him out of it.

Tuesday, July 22:

We’re not sure how many times Kat has to learn this lesson, but Eva once again stands her ground rather than be bulldozed by her half sis.

Hayley has something to show Bill that’s guaranteed to change everything.

When Allison finds herself in need of medical attention, something tells us she’ll use that as an opportunity to pay a visit to Madison! This might just get ugly…

Wednesday, July 23:

Never one to miss a trick, Lesley turns her own injury into an opportunity to make a move.

Jacob finds himself in the familiar position of having to question a family member about a police matter!

Madison is a pretty smart cookie, so when she suggests to Chelsea that someone’s playing her, it might be worth listening!

Thursday, July 24:

Naomi is in for a shock when Vernon decides she needs to be brought into the circle of truth.

Nicole continues to unleash her anger, this time at Bill. Will she make him pay for having hurt her son?

Kat walks in on… well, let’s just say it’ll be as much of a surprise for you as it will be for her!

Friday, July 25:

Pamela has an offer that she thinks Dani would be wise to accept.

Hayley can’t help but wonder if Bill is in way deeper than she could have imagined.

How will Tyrell and Samantha react when both feel lied to and betrayed by their family?



The Bold & the Beautiful

Last week…

Bill learns Liam has an inoperable brain tumor after clashing with Ridge. 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. Here’s how.

Liam signs on for experimental surgery, and Nick asks Brooke to go to Naples. Bill waits impatiently as Grace operates on Liam. Hopefully not so impatiently that he starts tapping on the glass of the observation window!

John McCook promises the CBS soap is ‘bringing back the glitz and glamour of our show’ —

Liam undergoes risky experimental surgery as Bill prays for a miracle. Bridget and Finn admire Liam’s resilience after all that he’s endured. We have a hunch he’s not done enduring stuff, either.

DVR alert: Ashley Jones lands a ‘killer’ movie role based on a true story featured in Lifetime’s latest Ripped from the Headlines series.

Liam’s released into Bill’s care, Grace takes a cryptic call, and Steffy and Hope celebrate. Rather than leave his son where he is to recover, Bill whisks an unconscious Liam away from the hospital. Cue the miracle cure!

With Carter at a crossroads, Lawrence Saint-Victor lands a new role: “I’m so excited and blessed.”

Bill gets MRI results, and Katie and Will cry over Liam. Shut the front door! There’s a twist still to come in Liam’s story so heinous that [Spoiler] will be run out of town on a rail! 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!

Coming up…

It’s going to be another wild week for the L.A. elite!

Grace saved Liam’s life…or so she says. Something about the miraculous save isn’t sitting right with Finn, though. Is this the reason he and Bridget hole up in the office? Those clean scans seem too good to be true, and Finn knows when things are too good to be true, they usually are. Will the good docs soon close in on Grace? Is there a secret to uncover? If so, Grace’s life will soon go sideways, and she’ll be facing everyone’s scathing wrath!

Speaking of Liam, he’s in for a surprise visitor. No, not his brother who left town and hasn’t really been heard from since. The person who shows up to check in is Sheila. And her timing couldn’t be better because she’ll get to see Steffy, too! Will this trio soon find some common ground after the trauma at the Beach House? There are many things everyone in town can fault the She-Devil for, but if it wasn’t for her, Liam and Steffy may not have made it out of the house alive.

Meanwhile, Katie and Brooke check in with each other in the design room, and the sisters have much to discuss. Liam is living through his traumas, Hope’s engagement, the trip to Italy, and Brooke’s love life. Oh, how Katie would love nothing more than for her sister to give her heart to Nick and move on from her dreams of being with Ridge. Will Katie get her wish, or is Brooke still holding out for her true “destiny?”



The Young & the Restless

Last week…

Damian is drugged and stabbed in the maze after Lily tells Cane they’re a couple. Look for a special guest appearance by the green-eyed monster as a jealous Cane confronts Damian about his feelings for Lily. Always weighing her options and considering her next best move, Amanda strikes a deal. Phyllis finds herself in a familiar situation — in other words, the dangerous kind. Does she have a nose for trouble or what?

Restless Rant! Will Damian die? A look at the murder mystery ahead.

As the murder mystery kicks off, we may have figured out who kills [Spoiler]!

Lily learns Damian is dead, and Cane hires Chance. With matters taking a turn for the murderous, Nick devises an escape plan. Better late than never, bro. 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. Lily’s world is turned upside down. Young & Restless isn’t really killing off Nate’s newfound half-brother, is it?

With Summer off in Italy, Allison Lanier introduces the one she “can’t believe I was ever without.”

Nick makes a shocking discovery, as everyone, including Amanda, eyes Cane for the murder. Who needs Jessica Fletcher when you have Devon around to connect the dots? As she probably should have from the day that she started working with him, Amanda questions Cane’s motives. Nick makes a shocking discovery that rocks the Newmans and leaves Sharon scrambling!

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

Nick confronts Cane, and Lily thinks her ex murdered Damian. 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? It could go either way! Lily shares damaging information with Chance, perhaps bringing this game of Clue one step closer to an end.

Oh snap! [Spoiler]’s alibi brings a mountain of trouble raining down on him!

He’s been on the CBS soap for over 45 years, so when Eric Braeden was asked if a rival soap ever came knocking on his door, he stated, “They asked me.”

Kyle and Audra cross the line, and Nick makes threats. 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. Sharon takes matters into her own hands to help Nick.

There’s a killer on the loose in France!

Coming up…

There are French twists galore: Not only does Kyle declare it put-up-or-shut-up time for Audra, Sharon, and Nick find themselves in a tight spot, and Billy pushes Jack so hard that the older Abbott shoves back.

Monday, July 21:

Restless Rant: The shocking truth about the murder mystery revealed… is [Spoiler] behind it? Plus, the big question no one has asked Cane!

Jack should know by now to expect the unexpected where his half-brother is concerned. But no. He is blindsided by Billy’s decision-making.

Eager to get in and stay in good with Cane, Phyllis protects her interests.

It’s all fun and games until Kyle calls Audra’s bluff. On second thought, that could result in fun and games, too, technically.

Tuesday, July 22:

Victor demands that Audra hold up her end of their bargain.

Nick and Sharon find themselves in a dangerous situation. Technically, they were already in one, what with a killer on the loose. But this sounds even more specific than that.

Must be Nikki’s turn at last: She gives Cane a warning that he’s sure to ignore.

Wednesday, July 23:

Kyle tells Nikki the truth about Victor’s deal with Audra.

When Lily stands her ground with Phyllis, we may be seeing Cane’s past go toe to toe with his future.

As Amanda questions what Cane is up to, he questions her loyalty.

Thursday, July 24:

Victor and Chance confront a new suspect —

Though Nick’s plan to escape backfires, we hope someone reminds him that it’s the trying that matters.

Jack makes a tough decision about Billy. Could it be “Not letting him do any more decision-making”?

Friday, July 25:

Victor takes matters into his own hands. As if they were ever out of his hands to begin with.

Billy and Sally work together to help an innocent victim. Sheesh. How badly did Nick’s attempt to escape go?

We pity the fool who backs Nikki into a corner. We suspect they’re in bigger trouble than she is!

As Chance tries to figure out whodunit…



General Hospital

Last week…

Dalton meets with Sidwell and learns a mutual friend is not happy with his lack of progress, and Michael vows not to lose custody of Amelia and Wiley. We don’t know if Natalia will be able to rest in peace, but her memorial service is going to be rife with tensions! When Alexis rushes to Sonny’s defense, is that literally (as in the courtroom) or simply metaphorically? What’s got Carly so heartbroken? When Anna takes Felicia into her confidence, could it be concerning Emma, who is about to make a confession?

Trina has a heart-to-heart with her best gal pal, Joss. Jason is in the awkward position of having to have a potentially difficult conversation. How long can Curtis manage to keep Stella at bay? What does Drew have up his sleeve?

Obrecht returns to Port Charles, and Sasha moves in with her father, Robert. Actions have consequences, which is something Nina is about to learn the hard way! Just when you thought things couldn’t get worse between Dante and Lulu, they wind up butting heads yet again! Anna manages to figure things out. Sonny talks a good game, but will he be willing to make a sacrifice? Josslyn is ready when she’s called upon to take action!

Life’s a beach for Chad Duell since leaving the ABC soap.

Mama’s coming home! General Hospital brings back Kathleen Gati ahead of Kelly Thiebaud’s return.

First look: Jon Lindstrom drops an eye-popping reveal.

Wednesday, July 23:

A determined Jason isn’t about to be waylaid.

Dante and Lulu find themselves feeling increasingly concerned. (Could this have something to do with the recent Britt sighting, or are there still other potential problems on the horizon?)

As Drew and Willow’s wedding day approaches, Nina seeks out the groom. Perhaps she’s going to give him one last chance to walk away before she drops the ultimate truthbomb on his bride-to-be?

Speaking of Willow, the way she’s acting rings a few alarm bells. But will anyone hear them?

Thursday, July 24:

It’s a reunion of sorts when Obrecht and Elizabeth cross paths.

Nina is ready to take action… but is she really willing to go through with her past threats?

Trina isn’t about to be swayed as she stands her ground.

Friday, July 25:

Here comes the bride… but is Willow really about to become Drew’s wife?

Lucas may love Carly, but he’s also not afraid to call his sis on her ish… which he’s about to do.
