Weekly Recaps & Spoilers: September 29-October 3, 2025

 


Beyond the Gates

Last week...

Dani and Andre get hitched by an Anita Williams Dupree impersonator, and Tomas confides in Eva while Kat confides in Chelsea about their latest disappointing attempt at sex. Dani and Andre’s big adventure continues as they take a gamble that could lead them in a whole new direction. Vanessa’s been enjoying a double life thanks to her “arrangement” with Joey. But Doug wants his wife to decide whether she wants to have her cake or eat it, because she can’t do both! Anita’s about to get another shocking glimpse into Ted and Nicole’s crumbling marriage. Having had yet another round of not-so-hot sex with her beau, Kat turns to Chelsea for a little romantic advice.

Jacob discovers something he didn’t want to know, Dani realizes exactly what happened last night, and Smitty puts Martin on blast. Having absolutely no poker face, Derek shouldn’t be surprised when Jacob manages to uncover something the fireman would much rather keep under wraps. Martin’s trying to do the right thing where Samantha is concerned, but it’s only going to really, really tick off Smitty! One couple has to face the fact that things may never be the same for them. It can only be trouble when Joey and Marcel put their heads together and cook up a new scheme.

Doug is on the verge of losing everything, including both Vanessa and his life! Things are about to get steamy in Puerto Rico as a couple takes a good look at their relationship and says, “Yup, we’re good together!” Doug thought things couldn’t get worse. As you might expect, Doug was very wrong. Naomi is about to suffer a heartbreaking loss. June’s been trying to get her life back on track, so it’s going to feel really great when she has the opportunity to be someone’s hero by saving the day.

Ever since the soap began, Anita and Vernon have gone from managing one family crisis to another. Good thing, too, because they’re going to need all that experience to navigate the twists that are about to rock Fairmont Crest. Look for Jacob to deliver shocking news, while Bill and Hayley are caught up in the emotional maelstrom that follows!

Joey warns Marcel to stay put, Vanessa plans to take a trip, and Nicole sees something she wishes she hadn’t. After getting the latest news, Nicole goes into comfort mode as she tries to help a friend. Even as Jan and Mona are discussing Leslie’s reversal of fortune, Eva is receiving a huge gift from her mama. Shanice is keeping big info under her hat. Who is on the wrong end of the deadly warning issued by Joey?

Coming up...

As Vanessa continues to mourn Doug, their son turns up the heat on Joey. Meanwhile, Jacob and Naomi get exciting news, and Dani seems ready to take things to a whole new level where Andre is concerned!

Monday, September 29:

Last week, Leslie suggested that her daughter fight for Tomas. Well, it looks as if Eva’s going to take that advice to heart… and maybe to bed? How else to help the poor guy recognize that he’s not, as Kat suggested, bad in bed?

Vanessa hopes that Jacob will be able to give her the unvarnished truth about Doug.

Chelsea and Joey are both about to receive visitors, and neither will prove to be particularly welcome!

Tuesday, September 30:

Something tells us that the devastating blow Kat’s about to be dealt has to do with a certain half sister and Tomas!

Nicole definitely seems to be moving forward with Carlton… even as someone’s keeping a very close eye on the pair!

Martin realizes he needs to talk to someone about boundaries.

June’s about to receive another assist from her friends.

Ted and Andre have another of their guy talks in which they talk about the women in their lives.

Wednesday, October 1:

Hayley is surprised to find out exactly what Bill’s been up to.

What has Derek feeling as if he’s been left behind?

Dani opens up to Anita about a certain addiction she has. (Could it be too dramatic?)

Doug and Vanessa’s son is angry, and he wants answers.

When passions flare where they definitely shouldn’t, big emotions are unleashed!

Thursday, October 2:

Even as Hayley’s planning for the future, Dani’s managing to stir up trouble.

Who has the usually unflappable Naomi getting tense enough to have a pretty heated exchange?

Donnell’s quest for the truth leads him straight to Joey’s door!

Friday, October 3:

Jacob and Naomi are about to receive very exciting news. But it could mean big changes in their future!

Is Ashley really ready for what will now be considered “normal” where her life is concerned?

Having already exchanged vows, just how unconventional a proposal is Dani about to make to her new hubby, Andre?



The Bold & the Beautiful

Last Week...

Bill unleashes on Luna, and Sheila celebrates her granddaughter’s ‘impressive’ scheme. Hope reassures Katie that Luna deserves love and happiness. Um, does she, though? Hope would be whistling a very different tune if it had been her friends that Luna had murdered or her son that she’d raped! Li accuses Sheila of siding with Luna. Which makes sense. Those two are cut from the same psychotic cloth!

Katie vows Luna will never be her son’s wife, and Will breaks horrible news to Electra. Wow. Days later, Will finally gets around to confessing to Electra. We’d love to think that she’ll be understanding and not blame the victim, but our fear is this.

Electra’s floored to learn Luna’s alive, and Deke gives Deacon horrifying news. Deacon becomes concerned for Sheila when he overhears something he shouldn’t have. Or, more likely, something she thinks he shouldn’t have. Despite the chaos swirling around them, Deke and Remy reconfirm their bond as they navigate personal and professional challenges. Hmm… like Deke’s strained family to Spoiler], perhaps?

Deacon’s shattered by Sheila’s secret-keeping, and Electra learns Luna’s pregnant. Outraged at being kept in the dark by his wife, Deacon demands the whole truth about Luna from Sheila. Is she even capable of telling the whole truth? Either way, this promises to propel him into a whole new love story with [Spoiler]. As Bill attempts to make amends with Katie — good luck, babe — he also secures his home.

Taylor attempts to convince Deacon that he should obtain counseling elsewhere. Sounds like a good idea to us. Why would the shrink who was once shot by his missus want to help him with his marital difficulties? Oh dear. Since Will tries to get through to Electra, she must not have comprehended that he was not Luna’s lover but her victim.

Coming up...

Fighting words turn into flying fists.

Reeling from the fact that Luna really is preggers, Electra rails against her boyfriend’s rapist. “You are trying to ruin his life!” Luna’s response? “And there’s nothing you can do to stop me!” Maybe not. But Electra holds nothing back as she hauls off and slugs the psycho in her smug face! (Could that blow be but a precursor to a major “Who killed Luna?” murder mystery?)

In other developments, Li, who somehow isn’t yet in prison for spiriting a patient away from the hospital, complains to Sheila that “this whole thing has been a nightmare.” Sheila may offer her frenemy tea, but no sympathy. “I’m more concerned about my marriage,” she says.

And at that very moment, Deacon is unloading on Taylor. “I’m happy to always help,” says the shrink. Good, ’cause “I’m gonna need all the help I can get,” he replies.

Finally, as Beth encourages Liam to send a cute picture of the two of them together to Mommy, Hope appears to be getting set free by Carter. Perhaps having read the writing on the wall, he tells his fiancĂ©e, “Go… be with your family.” Guess “Lope” is on again — and just in time for Steffy’s homecoming.




The Young & the Restless

Last week...

An unhinged Billy threatens Cane, Traci returns, and Daniel and Tessa make a plan. As his downward spiral continues, Billy Boy makes a shocking threat. But is it one on which he can follow through?

It sounds like an endeavor that’s as impossible as cornering a bull in a china shop, but Jack and Diane rein in Billy. Lauren digs in the heels of her stilettos and stands her ground with Michael. Unable to resist the temptation to upset her ex, Audra pushes Kyle’s buttons.

Cane calls Victor’s bluff, Sally gives Billy an ultimatum, and Jack floats a radical plan. Victor makes Cane an offer that’s hard to refuse. But The Mustache wants an answer, like, now. Jack has a trick up his sleeve. Just the one? Must be a slow day for him! When Billy forces Sally to make a tough decision, we can only hope she listens to her head, not her heart.

Jack makes a pitch to Victor, and Cane fires Michael. Just how far will Victor go to protect his empire?!… Cane’s about to make a move that may force him to do the unthinkable! Forecast in hell calls for a cold front: Victor considers calling a truce with Jack. As Cane ends an alliance, we’ve gotta ask: What did it accomplish in the first place? Nikki receives surprising news.

Coming up...

Hurricane Jill touches down in Genoa City with plans to set things right with Cane and Billy. Plus, Sally’s keeping something under her hat, Audra crosses her fingers and hopes for a miracle, Claire rolls the dice, and Michael and Lauren’s marriage hits the skids.

Friday, October 3:

Weekly Recaps: September 22-26, 2025

September 22

Days of Our Lives: Sophia’s Vixen Origin Story; Tate… and Johnny… should be very afraid. When Sophia first showed up on Days of Our Lives, we were primed to think she’d be the bad girl. Mostly because she was interested in Tate, a boy that Holly, the designated good girl, had her eye on. (Who cared that Holly’s lies about what caused her New Year’s Eve drug overdose sent Tate to real-life juvenile hall, but she whined until he forgave her and understood that it was partly his fault. For, you know, being there.) Then we knew Sophia was the bad girl because she slept with Tate while knowing full well that Holly still wanted him, even though they’d broken up. And then Sophia got pregnant and ruined her own life, just to make Holly sad. Sophia is awful. Except she really hasn’t been. She’s been sad, she’s been desperate, she’s been traumatized.

The Bold and the Beautiful

Last week…

Luna’s goose is well and truly cooked!

Though the psycho was pleading with Remy to let her hide out at his place for a while — just till she could build a life with Will (as if!) — in the week ahead, she’s not only cornered, she’s called on the carpet by Will and his parents, Bill and Katie.

Thomas attacks Brooke, and Luna brags to Remy about raping Will.

But the justice that the Spencers want to mete out isn’t nearly as dramatic as grandma Li’s. She lunges at Luna, chokes her, and hisses, “You’re evil! Evil!” Hey, when Li is right, she’s right!

Li chokes Luna out, Remy has a boyfriend, and hell freezes over as Thomas and Brooke embrace.

Thomas is livid to hear that, seconds after Ridge dumped his mother, he went and retied the knot with Brooke. “Please tell me that she is lying!” he demands of his father. But of course, Brooke is telling the truth. Ridge jumped immediately from his engagement to Taylor to proposing to and remarrying Brooke.

Keep it classy, Ridge.

Don’t feel too sorry for Taylor, though. She has something good heading her way — or should we say someone? (More on that here.) It doesn’t sound like Remy is going to get in too deep with Luna’s cray-cray, either. The show has very different plans for him. (Read all about ’em here.)

Katie goes ballistic on Luna, a positive pregnancy test horrifies Will, and Deke warns Remy.

Bill makes a jaw-dropping declaration, and Will prepares to give Electra devastating news.

Bill wants Luna to set Will free, Sheila and Li clash, and Will prepares to break Electra’s heart.

Coming up…

The fit hits the shan!

Deacon learns that Sheila has been keeping a whopper of a secret from him: that her murderous granddaughter is not as dead as he would have preferred to think. Suffice it to say that Il Giardino’s proprietor is not happy about it, either.

Maybe this would be a good time for Deacon to reconnect with prodigal son Deke?

Luna continues to indulge in crazy talk. She and Will are going to be together, she insists to Bill, and they’re going to raise their baby, and… Yeah, no. Bill has heard enough. “Li should have let you die,” he barks at the madwoman, “and saved me the trouble.”

Could Bill be able to tick off another of Luna’s nine lives?

Even though there is no one on the planet that Taylor would like to see less than Brooke, that’s who shows up at her door, seemingly concerned that the shrink might have a recurrence of broken-heart syndrome. “Even though you’re OK,” Brooke says, “that could turn around in a heartbeat.”

Cane asks Billy to make amends with their — well, Billy’s — mother, Jill. Even though she’s always liked fake son Cane best. Somewhere, Victor is surely seeing red as Jack gives Nikki a warning.

 Mariah asks Daniel to take care of Tessa and Aria, and Cane calls off the deal with Billy. Jack turns to his former stepdaughter, Victoria, for help. Lily is too smart to fall for Cane’s BS again. But no, he manages to charm the ex-wife whom he burned so many times. Mariah confronts Daniel about Tessa.

Michael’s suspicious behavior leaves Lauren fuming, and Billy crashes Cane’s meeting of the minds. Heading for the wedding, Lauren pulls out all the stops to impress Christine. Despite his determination to regain the Chancellor and his confidence that he will pull it off, Billy suffers a setback. Noah’s return is going to be marked by danger.  Cane hosts a meeting of the minds. Who would attend any meeting with him, though, after his last get-together resulted in three deaths?!?

It sounds like an endeavor that’s as impossible as cornering a bull in a China shop, but Jack and Diane rein in Billy.

Lauren digs in the heels of her stilettos and stands her ground with Michael.

Thursday, September 25:

The Bold & the Beautiful

Last week…

The “Tridge” wedding was the hot topic — as in, we knew it or wouldn’t it happen?

Decidedly in favor of Ridge and Taylor, saying “I redo” is Thomas, who, since breaking up with Paris, has elevated his parents’ reunion to his top priority. How does he try to help? He lashes out at Brooke, telling her that his family would have been together all these years if it weren’t for her.

Not so in favor of the nuptials is… Ridge, who insists to his Doc that he’ll always love her, but he can’t retie the knot with her. Her response? She’s not going to let him do this. (For a world-renowned psychiatrist, she sure isn’t great at noticing the patterns she herself has fallen into.) Luna rattles Will, Taylor refuses to give up without a fight, and Thomas tells Brooke she lost. Over at Li’s, Luna’s grandma is reminding the double murderess and rapist that she’s not to go anywhere near Will Spencer. Of course, Luna’s smirk speaks volumes about how seriously she’s taking Li’s warning! At the same time, Will is gazing at a picture of Electra’s discarded mask in text messages on his phone. “I just need to find out who’s doing this,” he says. But how? Liam has an idea about that. Using his computer skills, he seems to zero in on three apartments as being the one from which the text was sent.

Will sees Luna, and Ridge proposes to Brooke. Next, Will is at Li’s door — and entering the apartment, saying, “Come out. I need to speak with you.” And at that point, Luna’s smirk is gone, replaced by a panicked expression.

Thomas reels over Taylor’s update, Will realizes Luna’s the mystery woman, and Ridge wants to wed right away.

Brooke and Ridge tie the knot, and Luna attempts to seduce a horrified Will.

Luna makes an accomplice of [Spoiler], Thomas vows to end Brooke’s “chaos.”

Coming up…

Luna’s goose is well and truly cooked!

Though at the tail end, the psycho was pleading with Remy to let her hide out at his place for a while — just till she could build a life with Will (as if!) — she’s not only cornered, she’s called on the carpet by Will and his parents, Bill and Katie.

But the justice that the Spencers want to mete out isn’t nearly as dramatic as grandma Li’s. She lunges at Luna, chokes her, and hisses, “You’re evil! Evil!” Hey, when Li is right, she’s right!

On the other end of the canvas, Thomas is livid to hear that, seconds after Ridge dumped his mother, he went and retied the knot with Brooke. “Please tell me that she is lying!” he demands of his father. But of course, Brooke is telling the truth. Ridge jumped immediately from his engagement to Taylor to proposing to and remarrying Brooke.

Keep it classy, Ridge.

Don’t feel too sorry for Taylor, though. She has something good heading her way — or should we say someone? It doesn’t sound like Remy is going to get in too deep with Luna’s cray-cray, either. The show has very different plans for him.
