Weekly Recaps & Spoilers: August 11-15, 2025



 Beyond the Gates

Last week…

As one couple goes public, another continues to implode — and wait until you hear what a livid Nicole said to Leslie! Anita’s got a big surprise that’s going to rock her fans… or perhaps leave them jazzed? Samantha has proven to be wise beyond her years, but will she be able to help Martin and Smitty find their way back to one another? Leslie crashing the big concert has pushed all of Nicole’s buttons… and she’s over it!

Did Bill just set Hayley’s downfall in motion? Plus, Nicole realizes [Spoiler] is way over her head! Doug made a major mistake, and someone’s about to call him out on it! Will Ashley take the sound advice offered by someone she trusts implicitly? Vanessa is being just a bit too free with her money, and it’s going to draw the attention of someone she probably would rather not have noticed!

Hayley and Dani’s vicious verbal smackdown turns tragic — plus, Andre makes a stunning decision! When Hayley needs a favor, who does she call upon? Nobody can call you out like your best friend, which is what happens when Pamela puts Dani on the spot. Bill’s association with Joey causes yet another rift between Naomi and her dad.

Hayley claims to have lost her baby, but we just got a whole new reason to suspect she’s lying through her teeth! We might not think of Dani as the first person we’d call in an emergency, but she’s about to rise to the occasion. Naomi’s rough week gets worse when she gets a bit of news from Ashley! Elon makes a decisive move in the Stance Park murder investigation.

Hayley has something to tell Bill, and it could have a major impact on their relationship. Randy’s had a few questionable associations in the past, but he’s been a good friend to Doug. When the doctor tries to draw Randy into a messy situation, will he stand by his side? Andre’s ready to have an honest and heartfelt conversation… but with which of the ladies in his life?

Coming up…

The Bold & the Beautiful

Last week…

Eric pushes the panic button, and Finn confronts Grace. Eric warns Ridge that he must act fast to win Brooke back from Nick before it’s too late. Note to self: Please let it already be too late. Continuing to dig into Liam’s case, Finn confronts Grace — and honey, that’s just the start!

Grace confesses, and Brooke and Nick have a boating accident. Finn and Grace’s face-off continues with Steffy’s better half lobbing an accusation at Dr. Buckingscam. Unaware that Ridge is racing through Naples to sink the operation, Nick prepares to propose to Brooke during a boat outing.

Grace begs Finn to keep mum, and Ridge saves Brooke. Ridge makes a splashy save in the Mediterranean. (Read more about that here.) Finn is stunned by Grace’s confession. The rest of us? Eh, we knew something was afoot a mile away.

Grace is ordered to come clean, and Sheila runs into Li… literally. Both Li and Sheila are surprised by their interaction. Are these fierce foes going to become friends just in time for the fit to hit the shan over the fact that Luna’s aunt/grandmother is keeping her alive? (More on that here.) Grace’s house comes tumbling down. Only metaphorically, we hope. The doc’s got enough problems as it is!

Grace confesses, and Sheila finds Luna at Li’s. It’s time for truth and consequences as Grace begins to tell all about Liam’s cancer to him and Hope.

Coming up…

The truth is out, and Grace is in hot water, that is.

Liam informs dad Bill that the doctor, desperate to protect her family (remember them?), “prescribed meds that mimicked those symptoms” that hit him like a ton of bricks. Bill takes this news poorly. “Bitch is going to pay,” he declares.

Guess that’s one way to restore Don Diamont’s character to his factory settings!

Nick is still pitching the woo to Brooke. “This is not over for us,” he tells her, “Because I love you.” And he just happens to proffer an engagement ring to prove it! Meanwhile, Taylor, sensibly fearing that her engagement to Ridge is on shaky ground, tries informing her fiancé that Brooke “has a future, but it’s not with you.

“Because,” she adds, “I am never taking off this ring.” Sure, Jan. You tell yourself what you need to.

Finally, Sheila, reeling from the reveal that her granddaughter isn’t dead, asks Li the obvious question: “Why? Why did you save Luna?”

 


The Young & the Restless

Last week…

Claire lashes out at Victor, and Billy balks at Cane’s big plans. Victor loses patience with Adam’s insubordination. Sounds like somebody’s gonna be sent to his penthouse without any supper! Though he’s not exactly Mr. Popularity since his party in France left three people dead, resourceful Cane manages to form a new alliance. Chelsea shares a secret with Lily. Will Adam’s significant other come to regret spilling the beans?

Cane drops a bomb on Billy and Phyllis, and Nikki stands up to Victor. Victor and Nikki argue over family matters. Would now be a good time to point out that it’s never too far into a relationship to undergo marital counseling? Does it still count as Mommy & Me time if Jill and Billy spend it having a heated exchange? A woman on a mission, Phyllis will not be dissuaded. Today, she doubles down and protects her interests.

Jill and Billy hurt each other anew, Claire forces Kyle to come clean, and Nikki makes a bold suggestion. Gee, who could have predicted that Audra’s team-up with Victor would go south? Ah, yes — everybody! Even she has to see it now that he’s giving her her walking papers. Kyle comes clean with Claire. How will Cole’s grief-stricken daughter take the news that her beau kissed his old flame? Nikki laid the groundwork for a shocking new alliance that will turn Genoa City upside-down! Nikki’s gotta be itching for a rematch with Victor when she dares to ask Jack for a favor.

Lily considers a huge risk, Victor hatches a new plot, and Audra pokes the Claire bear. Victor wants Lily to join his revenge plot. Eh, maybe if he rebrands it as a retribution plot? Wasting no time, Claire sets the record straight with Audra. Kyle invites Adam to play Let’s Make a Deal.

Victor proposes an unlikely alliance, Billy spills the beans, and Phyllis cozies up to Cane. Victor strikes an unexpected deal. Phyllis pushes Billy’s buttons as only an ex-lover can. No more floating for Chelsea: She’s forced to take sides.

Coming up…

“Chadam” hit a rough patch, Nick catches Sharon off guard, and Victoria is asked to lend a hand.

Monday, August 11:

First, Nikki asks Jack to team up with Victor, and now Jack seeks out Victoria’s help. Man, Cane doesn’t stand a chance!

 Sharon worries about Mariah — with good reason. Her dark secret is eating her alive and wrecking what’s left of her marriage!

Lily delivers bad news to Holden, who is the last to know what happened to his former pal Damian.

Tuesday, August 12:

Phyllis shares a secret with Daniel. Cue Daniel going, “Mom. I don’t need to know every crazy thing you do!”

Even as she attempts to make waves in Claire and Kyle’s relationship, Audra covers her tracks with Nate. We think she should step further into this version of herself, personally.

No longer riding in the passenger seat of her own life, Claire takes matters into her own hands.

Wednesday, August 13:

Victor retaliates against Cane. Anyone else think he won’t make it through the week before he’s added to the list of enemies bested by The Mustache?

Nick loses his cool with Billy, and honestly, we get it. Jill’s son has an attitude enough for six people.

Jack receives an unexpected invitation.

Thursday, August 14:

It isn’t like Victor to delegate the responsibilities he likes the best — like fighting foes — but he recruits Nick to take down an opponent.

Christine asks Lauren for a favor. Matron of honor, perhaps?

His feelings for Tessa are growing by the day. Daniel confesses to Danny.

Friday, August 15:

Nice that they can still surprise one another after all these years: Sharon sees a new side to Nick.

Despite having proven a million times over that he can’t keep a promise, Cane makes one to Lily.

Adam loses patience with Chelsea’s loyalty to Billy.



General Hospital

Last week…

Anna and longtime enemy Obrecht (whom you’ll recall once held Robin captive and let folks believe her dead) are about to cross paths! Ava has an idea which she presents as a proposal. Is Britt about to be discovered, or does something else take her by surprise? Gio runs into his stepdad, Chase. Molly and her dad get together for dinner. Wonder if the topic of his relationship with Ava will be broached?

Is Chase being there for Willow a little too much? Ava has some serious trust issues, which is why she puts Ric to the test! Will he pass or fail?

Anna tells Jason he must find Britt, and Drew makes Stella his next target. Anna sends Jason after Britt. How amenable to Carly’s “suggestions” will beau Brennan be? What causes Drew to go looking for Elizabeth? Britt’s never been big on rule following, so it should come as no surprise that she’s about to defy someone else’s orders. Things get heated between Lulu and Dante, who find themselves boiling over with anger. Anna and Jason have a certain connection. Will that play into how he reacts when she weighs in?
