Dante is a man of his word, so when he makes a promise to someone, they can believe him! Is someone out to get the newly re-elected mayor? It seems that way when Laura receives a warning… Carly and Josslyn wind up crossing paths. When Lucas catches Elizabeth up on recent events, will it change her stance on his current living situation… or only confirm what she’s believed all along?

Nathan springs Rocco from juvie, and Willow accepts Drew’s proposal. Wedding bells are going to ring for someone in Port Charles. Well, that’s assuming that the proposal made today is accepted! Willow may not have a lot of friends these days, but Elizabeth proves willing to go to bat for her fellow nurse. Meanwhile, something manages to push all of Michael’s buttons and leave him fuming! It takes a lot to leave Britt feeling appalled, but something manages to do it. Can’t wait to see what! One of the various things Nina’s been keeping under her proverbial hat comes to light when she steps up to make a confession!

When Nathan manages to catch Dante off guard, will the current top cop regret having brought his pal back onto the force? Chase and Brook Lynn are left positively stunned.

And if there’s one thing we know about Luke and Laura’s daughter, it’s that she can be tenacious when searching for truths! What’s got Stella on the warpath?

What will be going down in Port Charles? Well, it sounds as if Willow has a huge decision to make that could impact the rest of her life. Elsewhere, Britt turns to Jason (again), and Carly is ready to try and make things right. Plus, who manages to put Sonny in an awkward position?

Monday, December 1:

If it’s Thanksgiving, you know it’s time to hang out with the Quartermaines. Will this be the year they finally get to eat a turkey with all the stuffing? Or should we have the local pizza place on stand-by?

It looks as if Willow is going to walk down the aisle yet again. Will she actually say “I do” this time around?

Trina definitely won’t be prepared for what happens next!

What kind of sacrifice is Isaiah willing to make, and will it have the desired impact?

Someone could be in trouble, because Nathan is on the case and has his eye on a suspect!

The Young & the Restless

Last week...

Phyllis crashes Danny and Christine’s wedding reception and spots Daniel kissing Tessa. As Cricket and Danny celebrate their remarriage, Daniel collaborates with Tessa to give the newlyweds a sweet serenade. Just “duet” already! Though Phyllis makes a promise to Daniel, we can’t see any way in which she won’t break it to rain on Danny and the Bug’s parade. Only Phyllis could forget that she was “the other woman” in the relationship, not Cricket.

Nick roughs up Matt Clark, Sharon makes an accusation, and Claire feels the heat. Victor’s pickleball game for the day must have been canceled, ’cause with a little bit of extra time on his hands, he enlists Adam to strike back against Billy Boy Abbott. Desperate to save their son from Matt Clark, Nick and Sharon search L.A. for Noah. On the menu at the Abbott mansion this Thanksgiving: a whole lotta drama. With not only Kyle’s ex Claire on hand but Billy’s current squeeze Sally, how could there not be?

Phyllis and Lily square off, leaving Cane on his own, and Claire kisses Kyle after Thanksgiving dinner. Forgetting that honesty is the best policy, Victor keeps Nikki in the dark about Nick’s problems in L.A. There’s always room for one more at the Abbotts’ table: Ashley returns home for Thanksgiving — hopefully with good gossip to serve as a side dish. Her parents and Damian no doubt weighing heavily on her mind, Lily reminds the Winterses of the importance of family.

A look back at Danny and Christine’s Hawaiian wedding from November 16, 1990.

Coming up...

'Tis the season… for big trouble! Cane’s past and present collide, Victor takes on not one but two adversaries, and Audra may finally have pushed Claire too far…

Monday, December 1:

We may never know what a day without Victor attacking an enemy is like — as he twirls his mustache and sets a trap for Cane.

While Victor is fighting Cane, Phyllis and Lily take the gloves off to fight over him.

As eager as ever to safeguard John’s legacy, the Abbotts strategize to protect Jabot.

Tuesday, December 2:

Distracted from business for a hot minute, Victor receives a distress call from Los Angeles.

Adopting a “Go big or go home” motto, Jack makes a bold move to protect Jabot.

Audra has never been a quitter. So we suppose we shouldn’t be surprised that she pleads her case to Nate again.

Wednesday, December 3:

Victor confronts his family’s latest tormentor, Matt Clark — and not a moment too soon, either, because Sharon and Nick find themselves backed into a corner.

As for Sienna and Noah, the illicit lovers plot their escape from the villain’s clutches.

Thursday, December 4:

Victor turns the tables on an enemy as Matt Clark forces Noah’s hand.

Friday, December 5:

Victor’s not gonna like this: Jack trusts his former and his nemesis’s current wife, Nikki, with a secret.

As Diane and Kyle dig for dirt on Victor, might we suggest that they pick up a copy of Ruthless? We’ve always heard it’s a real page-turner!

Audra should know better by now than to push Claire’s buttons. This time, Victoria’s daughter blows her stack with the pot-stirrer.

The Bold & the Beautiful

Last week...

Electra receives a mysterious text, and Katie learns Ridge hired a new PR firm. As word of Luna’s death spreads, everyone reels. Or, more likely, discusses her in every other scene so that it almost doesn’t seem like she’s even gone. Dollar Bill Spencer is back! Which is a relief, because it really seemed like he’d been replaced by a look-alike; he’d become so much kinder and gentler. Though the Luna-cy of it all has taken over the internet, Katie is still shocked that she has been replaced as head of PR at Forrester Creations. Need we remind her that she canned Electra over nudes that turned out to be fake?

Dylan confesses to Electra, and Katie learns about the weird text. Katie and Electra grow concerned over mysterious texts. The last time someone was secretly messaging was when Luna, taunting Will with a picture of the mask she wore the night she got him hammered and raped him. An admission of guilt is made. Perhaps by that young woman, Dylan, who pays Electra a visit in this week’s preview video? Luna isn’t just dead in air quotes… is she?!?

Ridge surprises Steffy’s family on Thanksgiving, and Deacon invites Daphne and Carter to dinner. Ridge must have a day off from Brooke because he joins in Thanksgiving dinner with Taylor, Steffy, Finn, and the kids. Over at Il Giardino, for some reason,n Carter and Daphne break bread with Deacon and Sheila. Wouldn’t Steffy have invited her dear friend from Paris and her longtime co-worker (and Dad’s best friend) to dine with her family?

Thanksgiving Day serves up a repeat of the episode in which Ridge and Eric’s fashion showdown takes place.

Coming up...

Get ready, because this week promises to be a big one!

Luna has been the hot topic around Los Angeles for months now. Anyone who thought her death would change that might want to think again, because while dead men tell no tales, those left behind do. And in this case, that means Dylan.

The art school teacher who opened the classroom door to “Ms. Sunshine” admitted to Electra that she was the one who plowed down Luna that infamous foggy night. While we have some pretty serious questions about Dylan’s story, we might get more clarity when she tells Finn and Steffy what went down.

Surely Luna’s dad will have questions for Dylan, right? Although she tearfully confesses, “I killed your daughter” and asks forgiveness, we’re going to need Steffy and her spouse to at the very least ask what she was doing on that particular road at that particular time!

Will Katie Leave?

Meanwhile, Luna’s death has had a few unexpected consequences. While Ridge and Brooke thought they were helping Katie out by bringing in an outside PR firm to handle the resulting scandal, she might not be entirely convinced that’s the case.

Enter Dollar Bill, who knows exactly what a valuable asset his favorite ex-wife is. In fact, he thinks she should ditch all things Forrester and fully commit to being a Spencer… by working with him at the publishing house bearing his name! (If Katie decides to do that, might she convince son Will to come along… and in doing so kick off a Spencer/Forrester family feud?)

Here We Go Again!

Remember a while back, when Ridge tried basically hustling Dad Eric out the door? At the time, he suggested that the Forrester patriarch would be far happier sipping margaritas on a yacht or… well, basically doing anything except work. Their battle nearly tore the family apart and eventually led to a fashion showdown between the men.

Well, the basic motto is, “If it worked before, it’ll work again!” Ridge and Eric have a very familiar argument. Wonder if that legendary staple will come into play again?

Andre and Dani face their first disaster as a married couple! It’s a dream come true for Eva as, for the first time ever, she gets to celebrate a special occasion with both of her parents.

Plus, it’s all building to a very big moment that will unfold in the unlikeliest of places.

#FridayCliffhanger: Rachel remembers shooting EJ after sending Sarah into anaphylaxis shock, and Sophia shows signs of improvement.

Monday, November 24:

Susan recently accused her son of being responsible for Marlena’s illness. When the ailing doc confronts EJ, will that be the reason why?

Coming up...

The show will be pre-empted on both Thursday and Friday due to sports coverage. But the first part of the week promises to be jam-packed thanks to what promises to be a gruesome discovery, a woman in search of answers, someone on the warpath, and more!

Monday, November 24:

Something tells us it’ll be bad news for someone when Sonny makes a grim discovery. (If we had to guess? Ezra’s time might well have run out!)

Dante is a man of his word, so when he makes a promise to someone, they can believe him!

Is someone out to get the newly re-elected mayor? It seems that way when Laura receives a warning…

Carly and Josslyn wind up crossing paths.

When Lucas catches Elizabeth up on recent events, will it change her stance on his current living situation… or only confirm what she’s believed all along?

Willow may not have a lot of friends these days, but Elizabeth proves willing to go to bat for her fellow nurse.

What’s got Stella on the warpath?

Thursday, November 27 & Friday, November 28:

Due to sports coverage and the holiday, the soap will be pre-empted. But why not surprise your family by recreating a Quartermaine Thanksgiving and ordering pizza instead of serving up a turkey?

The Young & the Restless

Last week...

Claire and Audra fight, and Lily comes to a realization. Phyllis and Cane’s alliance takes an interesting turn — toward the bedroom, perhaps? Now that the dust has settled after their tryst, Claire and Holden clear the air. Lily’s mad as hell, and today, it’s Adam and Chelsea that she puts on blast for their scheming.

Cane and Phyllis have sex, and Lily gets a reality check. Step aside, son: Victor helps Nick retaliate against Matt Clark. When Jack interrogates Nikki, will she be able to give her ex the info he wants? Oh, it is on! Phyllis and Cane crank up the heat. Wonder which one of them will get burned first.

Claire makes a call about Audra, and Phyllis confronts Cane. History class is in session. The teacher? Nikki. And the student? Claire. There’s no keeping Audra down. She’s busy plotting her next move. Times being as tough as they are, Lily commiserates with Holden.

Matt corners Sharon, Noah, and Sienna are locked up, and Nick meets a new cop. As Nick digs for dirt — and you can well guess about whom! — Noah and Sienna fall into a trap. At the same time, Sharon stands her ground with the nefarious Matt Clark. Is she actually making a fatal mistake?

Christine and Danny wed, and Amy and Nina lash out at Cane. “I now pronounce you husband and Bug.” Family and friends gather to bear witness as Danny and Cricket retie the knot. Get a sneak peek at the nuptials here.

Coming up...

Danny and Christine’s spirits are high while Victor is, as per usual, stooping low. Meanwhile, Nick and Sharon are far too worried about Noah to even think about whether macaroni and cheese has any place at the Thanksgiving table.

Monday, November 24:

As Cricket and Danny celebrate their remarriage, Daniel collaborates with Tessa to give the newlyweds a sweet serenade. Just “duet” already!

Though Phyllis makes a promise to Daniel, we can’t see any way in which she won’t break it to rain on Danny and the Bug’s parade. Only Phyllis could forget that she was “the other woman” in the relationship, not Cricket.

Tuesday, November 25:

Victor’s pickleball game for the day must have been canceled, ’cause with a little bit of extra time on his hands, he enlists Adam to strike back against Billy Boy Abbott.

Desperate to save their son from Matt Clark, Nick and Sharon search L.A. for Noah.

On the menu at the Abbott mansion this Thanksgiving: a whole lotta drama. With not only Kyle’s ex Claire on hand but Billy’s current squeeze Sally, how could there not be?

Wednesday, November 26:

Forgetting that honesty is the best policy, Victor keeps Nikki in the dark about Nick’s problems in L.A.

There’s always room for one more at the Abbotts’ table: Ashley returns home for Thanksgiving — hopefully with good gossip to serve as a side dish.

Her parents and Damian no doubt weighing heavily on her mind, Lily reminds the Winterses of the importance of family.

Thursday, November 27:

Relive Danny and Christine’s Hawaiian wedding from November 16, 1990.

Friday, November 28:

Young & Restless is pre-empted due to CBS Sports coverage.

The Bold & the Beautiful

Last week...

The double murderess and rapist somehow manipulated guard Stowell into looking away for long enough to allow her to sneak into a laundry cart that was headed outside the prison. Luna even seemed to have time to bundle up some bedding under her sheet so it would look like she hadn’t gone anywhere.

Seriously, though, every kid knows that trick!

Luna surprises Will at the beach house, Katie expresses her hatred, and Steffy and Finn spend quality time together.

Will tells Luna he’ll never love her, and Katie shares her fears about the baby with Bill. It doesn’t take long, of course, before Luna’s escape is realized. (So there is some security at this prison; it’s not adequate, but it exists.) The first call that’s made appears to be to Bill and Katie, who can’t believe their ears.

Everyone makes a beeline for the beach house, Luna drops a bomb on Will… and then makes a run for it! Next thing we know, Luna’s mother, Poppy, and grandmothers Sheila and Li are at the beach house along with Ivy to help search for the nut job. Luna is nearby, too. As Deputy Chief Baker tries to keep a handle on the situation, the fugitive is chased down the beach in the dark. Will she be apprehended as easily as she broke out of prison? Or could something happen under the cover of night that will change the direction of all of these characters’ lives? That chase looks intense. Everyone searches for Luna, but her getaway comes to a crashing halt.

Complicated feelings ensue after Baker makes a shocking announcement regarding Luna.

Coming up...

Monday, November 24, through Friday, November 28, the aftershocks of Luna’s demise are just starting to be felt. In fact, the double murderess may be even more influential now than she was when she was alive!

“Luna is blowing up online,” Katie informs her colleagues at Forrester Creations. Brooke insists that her sister not give the matter a second thought. “We’re on it,” she assures.

But clearly, Katie is going to give it a second, third, and fourth thought, because the next thing we know, he’s telling his once and future wife that she and Will needn’t work at the design house, anyway. “There is a place for you at Spencer!”

In other developments, Steffy and Finn enjoy Thanksgiving with Kelly, Hayes, Taylor, and Ridge (who seems to have gotten a pass from dining with Brooke?). Across the canvas, there seems to be more trouble brewing, though. Electra only just gotten out from under the shadow of Luna and her pregnancy by Will, and already, dark clouds are forming over her head.

What now? This time, Electra is paid a visit by an old friend, Dylan. “I have something to confess,” the young woman admits. But what? Genuinely stumped on that one!

On Thanksgiving Day, Bold & Beautiful is airing a repeat, and on Friday, it’s pre-empted for football.

Beyond the Gates

Last week...

Hayley helps Kat, flirts with Isaiah, and receives marching orders from Randy — plus, Andre and Dani head to Los Angeles. Kat turns to an unexpected source for guidance. Bill issues a warning to Jacob. Dani and Andre decide to make a major investment. Leslie’s involvement in WinterFest stirs emotions with some old friends.

Leslie catches Vernon being shady — plus, Eva shares a steamy kiss with [Spoiler]. Eva and Izaiah’s connection deepens. Ted unexpectedly becomes a shoulder to cry on. Smitty and June have an overdue heart-to-heart while Samantha’s punishment causes discomfort for her entire family. Vernon and Sharon meet under watchful eyes.

Kat sinks to a new low after hearing more than she wanted — plus, Leslie’s plan fails. Kat and Martin’s feud hits a boiling point. Eva has some tough questions to answer from her dad. Dani and Andre receive an important delivery, then make a declaration that will affect their future. Leslie tries to extort another Dupree.

Naomi nearly drinks Hayley’s tainted tea — plus, Kat’s called out by both Martin and Chelsea! Martin chooses a side during a sibling rivalry. Shanice puts Leslie on notice. Naomi deflects Bill’s questions about the state of her marriage while having to extend an apology to Hayley. Ted helps an ailing Peaches out.

Leslie hopes [Spoiler] will help keep Ted from reuniting with Nicole! Anita doesn’t mince words with both Thomas women. Tyrell shocks his dads with his choice for the future. Nicole receives an offer from Carlton. Martin seeks some much-needed advice from his grandfather. Vernon makes plans for another clandestine date.

Coming up...

Though it’ll be a short week for the residents of Fairmont Crest, there is still plenty of drama to be had. While Leslie makes a surprising connection, Tomas is put on notice, and Dani and Andre are in the midst of a disaster — plus, the Richardson-Smiths welcome a special guest to their festivities.

Monday, November 24:

Kat has been feeling angry at the world in general and her new sister Eva in particular. But the advice she receives from Nicole might just put her on a different path.

Holidays are tricky, especially for a family like the Hawthornes. Will Izaiah take the good advice he gets with regard to how he should navigate Thanksgiving with his dad?

Leslie manages to make a rather unexpected connection.

What does Tomas do that has Bill warning that his future at the firm might be cut short?

Tuesday, November 25:

Joey and Vanessa find a way to revel in their unconventional relationship this holiday season. Here’s hoping they do so far from prying eyes!

The Dupree clan and their traditions manage to give Bill comfort, even as they leave his wife silently raging.

Andre and Dani face their first disaster as a married couple!

It’s a dream come true for Eva as, for the first time ever, she gets to celebrate a special occasion with both of her parents.

Martin and Smitty welcome someone special to their holiday dinner. (Does anyone else assume it’ll be June, giving her a chance to celebrate with her children?)

Wednesday, November 26 & Thursday, November 27:

The show will air a repeat.

Friday, November 28:

And today, there will be a pre-empt.

Happy Thanksgiving!
