The Young & the Restless

Last week…

Chance shares a startling update, Lily confronts Amanda, and Sally makes demands. A conniving supervixen from way back, Diane can spot another one coming a mile away. But, though she warns her son Kyle about Audra, will he have the sense to listen? Chance confides in Abby — perhaps about the twist of plot that is destined to usher him off the canvas when Conner Floyd’s last episode airs. Lily forces Amanda to come clean. Nonetheless, there’s no way that Lily can be sure she’s gotten the whole truth and nothing but.

Restless Rant! Fans caught Damian making a life-altering mistake. Plus, what will happen if Cole dies, Sharon/Phyllis, and more?

Cane meets with Holden, and Billy gives Sally what she wants. Cue the Jeopardy! theme as Nick quizzes Damian about Cane. Whoa! Cane’s diabolical plan to get Lily back could destroy [Spoiler]! Holden seizes a new opportunity that just may give him a fresh advantage over Genoa City’s other movers and shakers. As he so often does, Billy makes a promise to Sally. But as he less often does, will he keep it?

Confirmed: Familiar Young & Restless alum lands mystery role on Days of Our Lives.

Adam decides to fly to Nice, and Victoria and Claire rush to Cole’s bedside. Cane reconnects with someone from his past. Could old feelings surface anew between him and his ex-wife Lily? Devon and Amanda share a heated exchange, because hello?!? He cheated on her with Abby. Devon’s lucky that Amanda will speak to him at all! In the right place at the right time, Phyllis stumbles upon valuable Intel.

Did the CBS soap just cast a new Crimson Lights employee — one that has a very close tie to Mark Grossman?

Victoria and Claire are crushed when Cole dies, and Mariah unravels. Victoria receives unexpected news — and, given how sickly Cole has been, we have a hunch that it won’t be the good kind. If he actually dies, wow. The fallout would be far-reaching.  Since it takes one to know one, Chelsea has no problem spotting a con job. The walls are closing in on Mariah. How much longer can she keep her secret?

Bold & Beautiful meet-up: ‘Ridge’ meets ‘Victor’ to do some ‘serious business.’

Melody Thomas Scott has two years to pick a day she’ll never forget.

Cane reveals his master plan, and Adam brings bad news to France. Victor stays a step ahead of Cane. That’s probably just the show being modest. We imagine Victor is actually several steps ahead of Cane. Nikki’s office still has that newly painted scent, yet already, she worries about the future of Chancellor Industries. Adam makes a surprise appearance at the party — and he has news to impart!

Coming up…

Victoria and Claire grapple with overwhelming grief, Tessa and Mariah wonder where they go from here, Phyllis adopts a Cane-do attitude, and one couple contemplates what you might call a “return engagement.”

Monday, July 7:

Soapbox! Claire’s crazy is about to make a *big* comeback… find out why!

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.

Tuesday, July 8:

In the wake of Cole’s passing, Victoria is comforted by someone from her past. Nate perhaps?

With nothing but dark clouds overhead, Mariah and Tessa ponder their future… if they have one!

Danny preps to make a big decision. Are those wedding bells we hear ringing?

Wednesday, July 9:

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.

Thursday, July 10:

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?

Friday, July 11:

A grief-stricken Claire leans on Holden just as Kyle and Audra fight temptation.

Putting their heads together, Adam schemes with Chelsea.



The Bold & the Beautiful

Last week…

News spreads of Ridge’s latest engagement, and Luna runs straight to Grandma. With Luna on the run, Sheila tells Deacon that betrayal is the Spencer way. Please let him respond that it’s still a lot better than murdering two people and planning to do away with a third. Cue the single tear streaming down her face. Ridge is about to drop the truth on Brooke that he’s remarrying Taylor, and this time he means it, doggone it!

Luna approaches Hayes at school, and Katie flips out on Will. With everyone searching for her, Luna does her best to stay hidden. Approaches Hayes at summer camp again. Steffy worries that the Luna drama is affecting Ridge and Taylor’s engagement. Honestly, it’s probably a nice distraction from the looming Brooke threat.

Egad! A heart-stopping accident will change the Brooke/Ridge/Taylor triangle’s dynamic forever.

Luna sends a cryptic message to Steffy, and Remy and Sheila compare notes. Steffy and Taylor are shocked by what Hayes has brought home from school. More Luna origami?

Sheila gives Taylor disturbing news, and Luna ambushes Steffy. When Sheila realizes what Luna’s plan is, Granny becomes frantic. Guess she really has forgotten how just a couple of weeks ago she was cackling with Luna about the appeal of bad girls like them.

Whoa! This Bold & Beautiful twist would redeem *two* baddies and save Steffy’s life.

Young & Restless meet-up: ‘Ridge’ meets ‘Victor’ to do some ‘serious business.’

Ruh-roh. Luna forces Ms. Dylan to get Steffy to Hayes’ school. Is this how she’s being written off to accommodate Jacqueline MacInnes Wood’s maternity leave? Oh, and at last we return to Liam’s story. Unfortunately, it sounds like we are coming one step closer to his devastating death as Grace gives her patient bad news.

Desperate to prevent a tragedy rather than cause one for a change, Sheila convinces Taylor to give up important information. Though Ridge reassures Liam and Hope that he has the police looking to re-arrest Luna, that doesn’t keep Steffy from becoming fearful for her life. Cornered by her stepdaughter, will she be shot…?

Coming up…

Holy guacamole! Luna’s plot to kill Steffy goes so far off the rails that not one, not two but three people are shot — and by the end of the week, one of them is dead!

Monday, July 7:

Finn is surprised by Li’s take on Luna. The only thing that would surprise us would be if Li was suddenly sympathetic.

Someone gets shot during Luna’s attempt to execute her diabolical scheme. But who is it? Luna, Sheila, or Steffy?

Tuesday, July 8:

Steffy is shocked to hear what Luna reveals and then stunned all over again by what she does next.

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?!?

Wednesday, July 9:

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.

Thursday, July 10:

Egad! Someone doesn’t survive surgery — but whom?

A difficult realization about Liam is made. Hmm. That doesn’t sound like the miracle we’ve been hoping for.

Friday, July 11:

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. Given he freed Luna, what he wants may be at the bottom of everyone’s list of concerns.
