Dani and Andre find themselves in the hot seat when her parents come at them with questions.

Nicole may recently have declared herself done with all things romance-related, but someone clearly didn’t get the memo. How will she react to an unexpected romantic gesture?

Oh, Eva… it can’t possibly shock you to realize that Leslie is up to no good — aka her old tricks — yet again… can it?

Tuesday, October 21:

Good thing Bill can juggle more than one thing at a time, because another little mystery is about to drop into his lap.

Is the big, bouncing baby issue going to prove an obstacle so big that Jacob and Naomi are incapable of getting beyond it?

Hayley knows what she wants, and she’s not about to let anything or anyone stand in her way!

Wednesday, October 22:

Somehow, a nasty encounter with Leslie — as if there are any other kinds these days — leads Nicole to issue an apology to her mom!

Will Joey rise to the challenge put forth by Vanessa?

Eva may just find herself asking, “Tomas who?” when she meets a sexy newcomer!

The Bold & the Beautiful

Last week...

[Spoiler] has Luna arrested right after the paternity test results come in. After making the Spencers and Electra wait all weekend — or making us wait, anyway — Bridget reveals the results of the paternity test that she performed on Luna’s fetus. Regardless of whether Will is the father, Deputy Chief Baker arrives to re-arrest Luna. Say bye-bye to that smug look on her face… for now, at least.

Electra slaps Luna as Katie vows to take custody of the baby. Deacon reaches out for help in his marriage to Sheila. Hmm… But in so doing, he winds up in Taylor’s arms. Is that part of his therapy? Katie shocks Luna by announcing that she and Bill will get custody of her baby. Needless to say, the double murderess and rapist firmly believes that she should raise the child. Finn confirms that he wants justice no matter what.

Big twist alert! Luna’s about to get everything she wants… including Finn!

Hope and Deke want better for Deacon, who looks to Taylor for help… and is caught hugging her by Sheila. Oh, that hug wasn’t even therapy. Deacon only starts officially being counseled by Taylor today! Brooke confides in Ridge how happy she is in their marriage and what she hopes for Taylor’s future. Desperate to patch things up, Sheila visits Deacon at Il Giardino.

Sheila warns Taylor, and Deke pulls a fast one on Hope. Though he should be doing a happy dance that maybe his dad is done with psycho Sheila, Deke is instead saddened by Deacon’s pain and shares his feelings with Hope. Ridge and Brooke kiss passionately. And they say romance is dead. Deke secretly slips his portfolio into the stack of designer submissions at Forrester.

Jacqueline MacInnes Wood welcomes her fifth child and reveals the baby’s name a day later.

Deke introduces himself to Electra, thereby bringing us one step closer to this devastating twist. Will struggles to understand why Luna targeted him. We’re with ya there, buddy. We struggle to understand why Luna does anything! Hope the docs have a clear schedule for the day, because when Finn confronts Li over her decisions, it could take a minute!

Coming up...

At long last, Jacqueline MacInnes Wood has announced the arrival of her fifth child. But her joy at seeing Kelly and Hayes embracing their as-usual shirtless dad is short-lived. Finn is forced to break it to his wife that his maniacal daughter, Luna, isn’t dead after all. Steffy looks stricken, but when the shock wears off, we wouldn’t be surprised if she goes ballistic.

In other developments, Brooke and Deacon urge daughter Hope not to spend another second with an official man in her life. “Open your heart up to Liam,” Deacon tells his daughter (obviously forgetting his former son-in-law’s long and horrific history of waffling). “Don’t let him get away again.” Gee, great advice, Pops. Very “inspiring.”

More: Brace yourself for a baddie’s comeback

Finally, Poppy pays Luna a visit in prison. And we guess the show has decided to make Poppy the villain after all. “You got knocked up by a billionaire’s son,” Poppy says… and then she smiles. “Well-played.” Maybe she really is the horrible mother that, at some point, the writers started having Luna say she was!




The Young & the Restless

Last week...

Nick gets a terrifying call from Sharon, Kyle asks Victoria for help, and Phyllis tries to turn the tables on Cane. Victor seems to have Adam doing whatever he wants these days, but Nick… he’s another story. Big Daddy is forced to give his and Nikki’s son an ultimatum. Cane plays to Phyllis’ strengths. Which would be what, exactly? Making trouble? Getting herself into hot water? Sharon just can’t catch a break. Today, she makes a distress call.

Holden’s pal Sienna warns Claire, and Sally shares a secret with a belligerent Billy. Jill makes a big decision affecting her relationship with Billy, arguably the least grateful child in a town that’s overflowing with them. Desperate to catch up with Claire before it’s too late, Kyle plays hardball. Holden reconnects with someone from his past. Since today marks Tamara Braun’s debut as Sienna, wanna bet it’s her? Check out first-look photos and find out all we know about the mystery woman.

Amid Devon’s onscreen disappearance, Bryton James files for divorce offscreen.

Sharon breaks down over Noah, and Claire calls Kyle controlling. Nick and Sharon receive shocking news about a devastating turn of events involving Noah. Could old feelings resurface as Nate comforts Victoria? The exes are both at loose ends, romantically speaking. Oopsie. Claire’s plan to escape reality hits a detour.

Tune in alert! Michael Damian to perform new single during a must-see episode.

Sharon and Nick get shocking news, Phyllis needles Danny and Christine, and Tessa’s heart is broken. Knowing that if you want something done right, you do it yourself, Nikki takes matters into her own hands. This oughta be interesting. When Tessa visits Mariah, will the beleaguered marrieds take a step forward… or two steps back? Nick and Sharon meet a mysterious stranger who we imagine is going to look a lot like this veteran of General Hospital, As the World Turns, and One Life to Live.

Meet the “baby cakes” new Noah loves to infinity and beyond.”

Ahead of Matt Cohen’s debut, he shares exciting news — and got “the boot?”

Nick searches for answers, Billy and Jack make up, and Audra sees Nate with Victoria. Though Jack clears the air with Billy, it might be quicker to just use some of the Febreze they’re always spraying on Beyond the Gates. Full of questions, a frantic Nick searches for answers. As if her future wasn’t bleak enough, Audra receives a painful reminder about her past.

Coming up...

Cricket is bugged at her bachelorette party, Cane attempts to do the impossible with Devon, and Audra gets by with a little help from a friend.

Monday, October 20:

Nate receives a surprise invitation. Which must mean that it isn’t from Victoria, right? Because we all anticipate that starting up again!

Cricket’s bachelorette party takes an unexpected turn. In other words, the surprise guest isn’t a cop who is really a stripper but… Yeah. It’s Phyllis. (See sneak-peek photos here.)

What’s more, Phyllis, cranky to the core, plots her revenge. Lady, you stole Danny in the first place; chill the [bleep] out!

Tuesday, October 21:

Cane has put all of Genoa City on high alert and gotten both Damian and Chance killed. So we can only wish him luck as he tries to make amends with Devon.

Tessa makes a bold move — one that leaves her tipsy and lips to lips with Daniel.

The spoiler reads “Phyllis places a risky bet,” but c’mon, isn’t every bet Phyllis places the risky kind?

Wednesday, October 22:

Considering that their son is bandaged up like The Invisible Man, we can’t blame Sharon and Nick for worrying about Noah’s condition. Maybe they don’t yet know how cute he’s gonna be on the other side.

Mariah is confronted by her past. But which part? The chapter in which she stalked her ex and Abby? The one in which she “haunted” Sharon?

Though Daniel has to be tempted by Tessa’s kiss, as smitten as he is, he makes a tough decision. Hmmph. Where was this sorta resolve when he cheated on Lily with Heather?

Thursday, October 23:

Perhaps throwing a monkey wrench into the “Shick” reunion we all think is happening, Nick meets Sienna.

Phyllis catches Cane off guard. Which has to be getting harder to do, no? She seems to do so on the regular!

Determined to get Claire back, whether or not she wants to be gotten, Kyle digs for dirt on Holden.

Friday, October 24:

Phyllis and Cane reach an understanding. Set the clock, folks; we’ll see how long this lasts!

Though the newcomer should know better than to give the poor little rich boy the time of day, Kyle nonetheless grills Sienna for dirt on Holden.

Sally goes out on what we can only hope is a sturdy limb for Audra.

Monday, October 20:

While we’re pretty sure Willow is innocent of the crime she stands accused of, things are about to take a shocking turn at her hearing!

They say it ain’t a party until something gets broken. In the case of Brook Lynn’s gathering, we suspect what’ll be shattered is the peace.

When Jordan does a little bit of math, will she wind up with the right answer?

Michael’s about to make a heck of a bold move.

Will Jack accept the easy out that Carly’s about to offer him?

Tuesday, October 21:

Brace yourselves and hide the knives, because things are about to get even rockier where Ronnie and Tracy are concerned!

Portia vents to Isaiah.

We suspect Curtis is likely to accept the apology being offered by Kai.

Alexis has never been great at resisting temptation, so an offer put before her might prove tough to ignore!

Who’ll come up the winner when Lucas and Lulu debate?

Wednesday, October 22:

Who’s the latest person to swing by Valentin’s prison for a visit?

Will Brennan have a new assignment when he takes a meeting with Josslyn?

Someone’s about to give Carly a bit of food for thought.

We hear Emma and Gio are about to make a plan. Might we hope it’s for a romantic night on the town?

Kristina does some digging, but into whom or what?
