Weekly Recaps & Spoilers: April 20-24, 2026

 


Beyond the Gates

Last Week...

Whoa… is [Spoiler] being framed? Plus, Vanessa gets played! Nicole finds herself trying to figure out exactly who hacked into her computer and why. (Wonder how she’ll feel to learn it was none other than Smitty!) It ain’t easy to pull the wool over Vanessa’s eyes, but she’s about to realize someone did exactly that. Joey has made it pretty clear he wants nothing to do with Leslie, yet she’s about to approach him with another proposition! Ashley is about to receive a bit of unsolicited advice from just about the last person you might expect.

As Anita gets her test results, Randy plays dirty — in every sense of the word — with Lynette! It’s a big day for Anita as she gets an update from her oncologist. Have the treatments she’s undergone been working against her aggressive strain of cancer? As Bill’s suspicions about Lynette continue to grow, he turns to his wife Hayley with the kind of questions she’d just as soon not answer! Meanwhile, Randy decides it’s time to confront the Lynette problem head-on! Does Smitty have a decent poker face or not when he has to cover his tracks in front of Nicole! In Naomi’s hour of need, Chelsea tries her best to be a support system.

Leslie predicts a very lonely future for Hayley — plus, Kat does the unthinkable where Eva’s concerned? While we don’t yet know if Anita gets good news or bad, we do know that today the family will begin finding out. (Should we be worried that, as this is unfolding, Dani is being comforted by her husband?) It’s Kat’s birthday, and Tomas has a surprise in store for his girlfriend. As Ted and Nicole continue to navigate their post-divorce relationship, the two come together to honor tradition. Hayley’s not always the best at listening, but she might wanna try when she receives a warning from fellow scheme queen Leslie!

As Hayley pours one out for Lynette, Jacob is attacked! Jacob is about to learn a lesson… and it won’t be pretty! With Vanessa and Nicole still on the outs, Martin pushes his mom to do what it takes to fix her fractured-but-hopefully-not-broken friendship. Randy is about to be given new marching orders by Joey. When Hayley celebrates a win, we can’t help but wonder if she’s doing so prematurely! Chelsea is there to support Madison… but might the doctor’s lawsuit become a very big problem for her girlfriend’s burgeoning purse business?

As Nicole and Vanessa hug it out, Vernon has us worried about his future! What does Bill say that has Dani questioning his slip of the tongue? (Good luck talking your way out of this one, Bill!) Naomi doesn’t know how to deal. When Vernon needs advice, he turns to Madison. Will she be able to point him in the right direction? Strap in, because Nicole and Vanessa are about to lay all their proverbial cards on the table! Will this save their friendship… or forever relegate it to the trash heap? Izaiah finds time to catch up with Kat… but you can be sure this doesn’t sit particularly well with Eva!

Bold & Beautiful‘s Ashley Jones lands a role on Beyond the Gates — will she be bringing Bridget to Fairmont Crest or someone else?

Heated words are exchanged by a few residents of Fairmont Crest — plus, someone is stabbed, Bill uncovers something very disturbing, and Kial interrupts Nicole and Carlton’s reunion.

Wednesday, April 22:

Is Grayson about to pay the price for the mistakes that Jacob’s been making of late?

Hayley’s wound up in the hot seat so often, we’re beginning to think she’s bburn-proof But what Bill learns today will definitely result in him turning up the heat on his wife!

The Bold & the Beautiful

Last Week...

As Will and R.J. get physical, Katie enrages Brooke, and Electra issues her 107th ultimatum. Better late than never, Daphne lays down the law, telling Ivy that the truth about Electra’s purloined letter must be told. Brooke is appalled by Katie’s choice. But Katie has some choice words for her sister; read ’em here. Hope Will’s been taking self-defense classes since he’s had a weak tussle with Remy, ’cause he and R.J. are about to get into a shoving match.

As Daphne grows ever more eager to rat out Ivy, Dylan says goodbye. Electra gives Will an ultimatum. Mm-hmm, because that worked so fantastically the last time she did so. As Dylan makes a heartbreaking decision, Brooke encourages R.J. to follow his heart. We all know where that will lead! Sheila doesn’t appear to be on this week, but we have a hunch we know how she’s spending her time off-screen — and Steffy won’t like it!

Ivy orders Electra to say four little words just before Will makes a heartfelt plea for a redo. Court is now in session, the honorable and proper Electra Forrester presiding. Will and Ivy, separately, take turns pleading their case to Electra. Ridge scolds R.J. not to bring his personal life to the office.

Dieu merci! As R.J. and Ivy go on the attack, Daphne finally approaches Electra with the awful truth. Ivy finds an ally in R.J. Gee, who would’ve thunk it, right? The aunt who wants Electra with R.J. and R.J. himself, a team? The burden of Ivy’s nasty secret weighing upon her, Daphne looks to Carter for advice. Heaven knows he’s seen a few of these workplace scandals play out!

Letter” have it! Electra finally finds out how low Ivy stooped to sink her romance with Will. Why exactly does R.J. hate Will so much? Is it just that Forrester Creations isn’t big enough for two baby-faced Casanovas? Well, we’re about to find out as R.J. spills the tea. Ashley Jones lands a role on Beyond the Gates — will she be bringing Bridget to Fairmont Crest or someone else? Finally, Electra finds out the whole awful truth.

Coming Up...

Electra finally learned the truth about what happened to the love letter she wrote Will. But if you think Ivy’s going to just say, “Oh my gosh, you’re right, it was kinda psycho and over-the-top of me to stoop so low to break up you kids,” you’ve got another think coming!

Auntie Virus admits that she orchestrated Electra and Will’s split — “and I’d do it all over again!” Well, you can’t say she doesn’t have the courage of her convictions, we suppose!

Will and R.J. Can’t Stop Fighting

In other developments, Ridge and Steffy may want to invest in separate playpens to put Will and R.J. in, because the two of them can’t cross paths without trading barbs if not also blows. Coming up, the Forrester heir accuses his nemesis of being a true Spencer through and through: avaricious, untrustworthy, the works.

Will isn’t fazed, though. Not really. He points out that R.J. isn’t even really a Forrester, since Eric isn’t Ridge’s biological father, the late Massimo Marone is.

Dylan’s Being Stalked

Finally, just as things seem to be settling down for Miss Dylan, they get all [bleeped] up again. She’s at work at Forrester — and actually working! — when she gets a mysterious call. Who is it? We can’t tell as the caller has their voice disguised. “We have some unfinished business,” the individual tells Dylan.




The Young & the Restless

Last Week...

Matt lays out his diabolical plan for Nick — plus, Kyle and Traci realize they face a bigger threat than Victor. Maybe this would be a good time to remind Victor and Nikki that if at first they don’t succeed, they should try, try again — ’cause though they take a stab at getting back together, it quickly takes a turn for the worse. Suddenly hell-bent on becoming Genoa City’s biggest kahuna, Phyllis makes the ultimate sacrifice to achieve her lofty goal. Ever since he’s been in Vegas, Adam’s been gambling. Now he’s about to place an especially risky bet.

Nikki is slammed out of the Abbott mansion — literally! — as Lily makes her stance very clear to Cane. Personally, we’d have accepted Nikki’s offer in a heartbeat. But not Diane. She takes a hard pass on her enemy’s suggestion that they call a truce. Cane is the last person in whom we’d confide anything. Yet Holden nonetheless fills him in on his new family ties. How many seconds do you think it will be before Cane tries to manipulate the latest addition to the Winters family?

Sally suspects she’s pregnant — and [Spoiler] is declared dead! #awkward — Chelsea surprises Adam and Riza in Sin City. Matt, as he tends to do, strikes back at Nick. Which we suppose makes it Nick’s turn to strike back at Matt? Sharon might as well try to make pals of Victor and Jack. Instead, she attempts to repair Devon and Mariah’s shattered friendship.

Danger strikes after Adam is taken to Nick’s body — and Sally shares life-changing news. His life in tatters, Jack leans on his former wife Nikki. Hey, it’s not like he’d get any empathy from his current wife! Spyder spins a web, which Adam uses to force Matt’s hand. Sally’s patience is tested. But then, since she’s with Billy, isn’t that an everyday occasion?

Even before Mariah’s fate is decided, Camryn Grimes tells all about her new role — get to know her “intelligent and resourceful” character.

[Spoiler] is lured into a dangerous trap — plus, Jack and Nikki consider going nuclear on Victor. Victor, who set up Jack to be raped by Patty, helps Diane, who refuses to acknowledge that her husband was kidnapped and drugged, give the victim a taste of his own medicine. We didn’t think we could get more upset about this storyline, and yet… Lauren and Michael begin a new chapter. Sharon gets the hell outta Dodge to help out Nick.

Coming Up...

Holden turns to Claire for support, Cane does Lily a solid, and Victor dangles a carrot in front of Phyllis that she simply must have.

Monday, April 20:

As they sit with the revelation that Sally is expecting, Billy and his sweetheart process their new normal.

Lily asks Devon and Nate to see Holden in a new light.

Stephanie connects with an old friend. Given how many years the doc has been away from Genoa City, it would almost have to be an old friend, wouldn’t it?

Tuesday, April 21:

Danny helps Cricket with a tough decision.

Michael shares a secret with Lauren. But can he trust her not to share it with Phyllis?

Debating what should be done with Mariah, Devon, and Abby struggle to come to an agreement.

Wednesday, April 22:

Is this a first? Victor makes good on a promise.

While Diane finds Jack and Nikki in a compromising position, we all know Mrs. Abbott would consider them sipping tea a compromising position!

Victoria digs for dirt on Phyllis. Um, how hard can that be? All of Genoa City knows her litany of sins.

Thursday, April 23:

Nick travels down a dangerous path. Or continues down one, more like.

Cane makes a bold move to help Lily.

Holden leans on Claire, who knows a thing or two about challenging family dynamics.
