Beyond the Gates

Last Week...

Vanessa unexpectedly bonds with… Leslie? Plus — Ashley calls out her ex! It’s amazing how much chaos one casually-uttered word can cause. Dani and Andre find themselves having a serious discussion regarding Bill’s having called her “baby.” Chelsea gets an offer that she decides can definitely be refused. Smitty — who, honestly, seems to be doing the heavy lifting where this investigation into the plasma ring is concerned — has a new bit of info for Jacob. Are Leslie and Vanessa bonding?

Coming Up...

Oh, and we hate to mention this, but…There are a few pre-empts set to interrupt the drama.

Monday, April 27:

Big questions continue to swirl around Lynette… or should we say around her absence? Tomas reaches out to Vanessa, given that she was the last person whom the missing troublemaker texted. But what the heck is Dani’s involvement in this mess?

When Tomas offers an update on Lynette, will he be reporting that he’s located her… and if so, in what condition?




The Bold & the Beautiful

Last Week...

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!

Electra disowns Ivy and tells Will the truth.

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.

More: Matthew Atkinson reveals big baby news

Will isn’t fazed, though. Not really. He points out that R.J. isn’t even really a Forrester, obecauseEric isn’t Ridge’s biological father, the late Massimo Marone is. (That could be important later; here’s why.)

Electra and Will reunite as RJ targets Dylan.

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.

Vy’s treachery is revealed to “Bridge” — plus, WTH is Dylan’s “unfinished business?”

Luna… is that you? Or someone else?

Katie seeks validation from Brooke, and Ivy makes a veiled threat to Daphne.

More: Ashleigh Brewer shares her thoughts on a ‘reset’ for Ivy.

And the troublemaker’s exit is anything but “proper.”

Coming Up...

Steffy and Hope clash anew, Katie’s problem may be someone else’s solution, and OMG, is that… Luna?!?

Business as Usual at Forrester Creations

Steffy, who missed all the drama surrounding Ivy and “letter-gate,” is finally back at Forrester Creations and making moves of her own. Starting with…? Oh dear. She informs Hope that, in the wake of Logan’s official launch, the company has to refocus its priorities, putting couture on the front burner and Hope For the Future on the back burner.

You can just imagine how well Hope will take that news!

When One Door Closes, Another Opens

Hope’s frown may quickly turn upside-down, however. Over dinner with hubby Liam, father-in-law Bill, and Katie, Hope hears her aunt’s concerns about Logan’s second line — as in, the fashion house doesn’t have one. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to add two and two and figure that Hope will jump ship to work with Katie and finally save Deke from waiting tables in the process!

First a Menacing Phone Call, Now This!

Ever since Dylan received that terrifying phone call from an unidentified someone, she’s been on edge, and so have we. WTH is the “unfinished business” this person thinks they have with Forrester’s newest employee? We may be about to find out.

More: A new Thomas Forrester?

Dylan is at work when she hears a noise behind a rack full of clothes. Is it Jamie, Kingsley, somebody playing a prank? It would seem not, because when Dylan actually sees who it is, she lets out the kind of scream you usually only hear in horror movies.

Could it be Luna, whom Dylan supposedly ran over with her car? EP Bradley Bell has sworn that the villainess is really, most sincerely dead. But he also played that trick with Li, Fin,n and most recently Sheila. So we’re not even 50-percent convinced that Lisa Yamada isn’t coming back, never mind 100-percent.




The Young & the Restless

Last Week...

Lily’s shattered by Malcolm’s call, and Billy and Sally face their pregnancy fears. 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?

Beautiful! Mark Grossman’s latest adventure with his real love is “hard to put into words.”

Victor launches an attack on Phyllis, and Abby and Devon clash over Mariah. Victor fires a warning shot at his enemies. Honestly, bro, if that’s what you’re gonna do every week, why not vanquish them already? 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.

Patty gets a payoff after a tense run-in with Phyllis – and Jack tells Nikki it’s time for the “nuclear option.” Pregnancy complications? Courtney Hope shares a Sally/Adam teaser amid a new storyline. Is this a first? Victor makes good on a promise. Although 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.

Matt lures Sharon and Noah into a trap, and Cane makes a stunning offer to Lily. 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. Rematch: “The bug” may finally get to squash Phyllis — and all thanks to Victor.

Matt leaves Noah and Sharon to die, and Victor lays the hammer down on Phyllis. Victor makes Phyllis an offer she can’t refuse. But if it seems too good to be true, isn’t it always? As Adam pushes Riza to come clean, Sharon and Noah are ambushed in Vegas.

Hold up! Young & Restless just teased a new love triangle… and it’s a twist we never saw coming.

First look at alum Jason Canela’s beautiful new baby — plus, dad’s priceless reaction.

Tuesday, April 28:

Nick’s addiction is out of control, and he finally hits rock bottom.

Phyllis has been adamant that she’s not giving up Newman Enterprises Summers Conglomerate, so Victor makes good on this threat.

Can’t imagine what leg Lauren has to stand on, but she nonetheless holds her ground with Daniel. Speaking of Phyllis’ son, is he about to find himself in the middle of a whole new love triangle?

Wednesday, April 29:

Adam forces Nick to face the truth about his addiction.

Off Cane’s news, Lily shares a promising update with Stephanie and Holden. Presumably, she tells Malcolm, too.

It’s Billy’s turn to surprise Sally.

Thursday, April 30:

Jack might be smarter to stay off the battlefield. Instead, he reveals a new plan of attack.
