Weekly Spoilers/November Sweeps Previews/Predictions: November 6-10, 2023



 The Young & the Restless

Places, everyone! But what places? Chance lands smack in the middle of a love triangle, Danny is dropped onto his ex-wives’ battlefield, Nikki is unwittingly remanded to the dark, and Victoria and Nate are directed onto thin ice. But at least one couple is headed for what sounds like an extended honeymoon phase.

Monday, November 6:

Never willing to just send a group text, Victor summons the Newmans to a meeting.

And so it begins! We suspected that there had to be more to Claire than meets the eye. And now that she’s keeping a secret from Nikki, we’re certain of it!

Dedicated to doing their best for lil’ Aria, Mariah and Tessa are tested as parents.

Tuesday, November 7:

Since Victor makes a shocking announcement, guess it makes sense that wanted to do it in person. Emojis just aren’t as fun as a good startled reaction!

Can’t say as we blame him a bit. In fact, as Devon questions Nate’s sincerity, we’re trying to think back to the last time that Nate actually had any sincerity.

Uh-oh. Time to get the guyspeak-to-English translation book as Lily experiences mixed signals with Daniel.

Wednesday, November 8:

At last, Victor puts a stop to his family’s infighting. Wait, he could do that all this time and he didn’t? Dude!

It’s gonna seem like old times to Danny — but probably not the good old days — when he keeps the peace between Phyllis and Christine.

What are sons for if not this? Chance catches Nina off guard.

Thursday, November 9:

Could the wheels be about to come off of a Genoa City power couple? Possibly, as Victoria and Nate share a difference of opinion.

Level-headed as ever, Christine, fresh from her split with Paul, sets boundaries with Danny.

In the wake of Dad’s bombshell, Nick finds himself in a familiar spot: at a crossroads.

Friday, November 10:

Phyllis weighs her options — and will no doubt pick the one that has the potential to create the most chaos.

Chance is one lucky guy as both Sharon and Summer stand their ground where the hunk is concerned.

Daniel’s mixed signals get decidedly unmixed as he romances Lily. Hands off, Heather; we’re rooting for these two to make it!

November Sweeps/Predictions

Tucker is about to be dealt a devastating blow! His “revenge plot against the Abbotts backfires.” On top of that, Ashley makes a major decision about her future with her conniving estranged husband.

Following the fashion show in Los Angeles, Lauren returns to Genoa City. But newly aware that longtime enemy Sheila is alive and well, can she really just slip back into her everyday life? A burning desire for hard-won vengeance could push her to do the unthinkable!

With her marriage to Paul officially over, Christine finds herself at a turning point. Trust us when we say it’s not a coincidence that her ex, Danny, is back in town. But with Phyllis in the picture, too, an old rivalry could burn brighter than ever!

Just as Heather’s move to Genoa City puts Daniel and Lily’s renewed romance on the rocks, her ex Cane returns a changed man — or so he says. Could Lily be tempted anew by the ex-husband who broke her heart so many times?

What, exactly, happened in Singapore? That’s what Lauren wants to know. But Michael and Gloria aren’t exactly forthcoming with the answers.

Conniver Victor will begin suffering actual memory-loss incidents that mimic the dementia-like symptoms he’s been faking. So it will appear that the Black Knight is really losing it… until it is revealed that someone has been drugging him. But who?

As Young & Restless sends Victor running around telling anyone who will listen “Ya got that?” — further testing and trying the patience of his children in the process — his marriage to Nikki will suffer. “She keeps voicing her disapproval of his plan.

Diane will be put in an awful position when she finds out that Kyle is scheming to take over Jabot. When he and Audra suggest that his mom join them, will she choose her son or the love of her life, Jack?

Young & Restless is setting in motion a Sharon/Chance/Summer love triangle in earnest. An “unexpected event,” forces both women to “take a stand about their feelings” for Abby’s ex.



The Bold & the Beautiful

Stop us if you’ve heard this one before. Liam indulges in the most wishful kind of thinking where former — and future? — wife Steffy is concerned, Taylor reminds Sheila that a mama grizzly is way scarier than the bear that supposedly ate her, Li flies off the handle so fast, it’s like she’d never been on the handle in the first place, and Ridge is precariously positioned between a rock and a hard place when one of his ex-sons-in-law makes a big ask. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg……..

Monday, November 6:

Steffy makes a surprise move on Sheila.

Brooke, Donna, and RJ make a promise to Ridge.

Tuesday, November 7:

Liam believes he can give Steffy a better life than Finn.

Ridge begins a new chapter at Forrester Creations with Eric.

Wednesday, November 8:

Ridge mediates a heated exchange between Brooke and Taylor.

Steffy learns the truth about Thomas’ and Hope’s relationship.

Thursday, November 9:

Hope’s new, unapologetic attitude takes Steffy by surprise.

Taylor issues a dire warning to Sheila.

Friday, November 10:

A confrontation ensues when Li finds Poppy at Forrester Creations.

Liam makes a startling request of Ridge.

November Sweeps/Predictions:

Ridge to the fact that his father is dying, he “goes from annoyed and frustrated to really trying to make Eric’s last days the best of his life…

In-demand wedding officiant Carter will pop the question to Katie. She accepts, only to wonder whether she can really settle down with her sweetheart. Could she kinda miss the constant drama that comes from life with Bill?

The Steffy who has returned to L.A. is going to call to mind the late, great Stephanie Forrester. To that end, Steffy is going to make it stingingly clear to Sheila “who the queen bee is of Los Angeles. Spoiler alert: It ain’t Sheila!

Despite opposition from, like, everyone, outcasts Deacon and Sheila will forge forward with their plans to marry. On the big day, however, the bride is shot, leading to a whodunit for the ages.

Sounds like Bold & Beautiful may be about to undo all the progress Thomas has made. With Hope “dancing with the devil,” the question arises as to whether her lover will “be a leading man or is he a perpetual villain?”

Steffy returns to determine how to deal with the Sheila issue once and for all. After asking for Finn for space, she’ll also tell both him and Liam that her heart is once again divided, and she needs time to make a decision between them.

Bold & Beautiful has gone all in with the strange love story of Deacon and Sheila. But that may be about to bite him on the tuchus. Their saga is “going to reach a very dramatic peak this fall,”. Given that the show just added new photos of Kimberlin Brown to the opening credits, though, it’s doubtful that Sheila will be making a return trip up the river.

Bold & Beautiful will bring back one character (Rick) after another (Jackie) to say goodbye to Eric, only for the Forrester patriarch to defy the odds, miraculously recover, and get a whole new lease on life.



General Hospital

Trina decides it’s time to speak some potentially hard truths, while Esme finds herself moved to spill the beans about something. Meanwhile, Sonny will be there for Anna, but even he can’t prevent her from having the wind knocked out of her by a shocking twist!

Monday, November 6:

Sam and Dante are definitely on the same page as they note their concerns

Finn has a gut feeling that something’s not quite right.

When Esme confesses, is it to something from the past or an all-new sin?

Chase manages to open his mouth and insert his foot as only he can.

Valentin gets a shock that will shake him to his core.



“While I’m still numb,” Bold & Beautiful’s Scott Clifton pays tribute to the late castmate with whom he wishes he could play one last scene… Tyler Christopher.

Tuesday, November 7:

Proving yet again to be a great friend to Anna, Sonny’s there when she needs support.

Will someone be open to hearing the explanation Robert offers?

When Alexis finds herself dealing with an issue related to ethics, Gregory is there to help her muddle through.

Sam gets great news, while Curtis receives advice that will prove valuable (assuming he listens!).

We’ve seen him on General Hospital as Todd, Franco, and Austin but could Roger Howarth be the next Noah Drake? “If you can talk, you can sing.”

Wednesday, November 8:

Tracy has an announcement to make, which likely means trouble for someone!

Michael can’t help but feel relieved.

Austin tries to avoid being completely forthcoming.

How will Ava reveal the stunning bombshell Sonny’s about to drop on her?

Sasha tries to fix a damaged relationship.

No trick, all treat: General Hospital’s Chad Duell sets in motion the ultimate crossover for Halloween —

Thursday, November 9:

Olivia knows what needs to be done and jumps into action, while Lois takes a moment to warn daughter Brook Lynn to proceed with caution.

Spencer can’t help but feel betrayed. The real question is what he’ll do as a result.

Dante fills in Sonny and Anna, while Valentin realizes he needs to tread very lightly!

Donnell Turner finally gets to ‘realize a dream that had eluded me for over 30 years’ — and with a castmate, no less!

Friday, November 10:

Alexis and Blaze get to know one another better.

Trina is a known teller of truths, so she doesn’t hold back or mince words when putting someone on blast!

Elizabeth turns to former mother-in-law Laura when she needs to get something off her chest.

And our hearts go to the family of Tyler Christopher, who passed away on October 31, 2023. You are surely missed. Rest in peace!

November sweeps/predictions:

What gives Olivia a reason to feel celebratory?

Butt-kicker Anna has always been able to rely on her keen instincts. They’ve helped her cheat death so often, that it’s a wonder it still even plays with her. But she’ll have to second- and even third-guess herself after she is completely blindsided by a revelation out of left field.

Spencer fights his father for custody of baby Ace. When the younger Cassadine loses to Nikolas, Spencer will take the baby and go on the lam, thus facilitating portrayer Nicholas Alexander Chavez’s temporary exit.

“Strange” doesn’t even begin to describe the relationship between Ava and Austin. And it’s likely to get even more unpredictable after Sonny detonates a truth bomb over the head of Avery’s mom. Can there possibly be even more to the femme fatale’s partner in crime than we already know?

Yet another close call leaves Josslyn questioning her relationship with Dex. Does she really want to spend her life worrying about the man she loves? Even as she’s having these doubts, Cameron comes back to town…

Just when Valentin thinks that he and Charlotte have come to an agreement on General Hospital, he once again has cause for alarm. Is his troubled daughter beyond help?

Maxie has not had an easy time of it in the romance department the last few years. So it’ll take a lotta charm, and a lotta effort, for the hot-shot new consultant Tracy brings into the Deception fold to win her over.

Has Nina dodged a bullet — for now, what with Michael keeping the secret that she reported Carly’s crime to the SEC? But according to Digest, the new Mrs. Corinthos may be pushing her luck — and raising Sonny and Carly’s suspicions — with her business proposal.

Has had Esme working on her best poker face in hopes of keeping Spencer from realizing that she’s kinda-sorta sweet on him. But when the “reformed” schemer makes a major confession, will he be on its receiving end? And just how forthcoming will she be?

General Hospital is planning an unforgettable Thanksgiving for the Quartermaines. When Lois’ mother Gloria returns to Port Charles, she brings with her a secret that will have a profound impact on her daughter and granddaughter.

Alcazar returns alive and well and is revealed to be the person who has been pulling everyone’s strings for months. It turns out Blaze is his daughter, which leaves Kristina to wonder whether her budding romance was all part of their plan to get to her dad.



Days of Our Lives-Peacock

One man makes a shocking discovery, while a woman vows revenge — plus, Gabi learns her fate, Chad considers his next move, and it’s the soap’s 58th anniversary!

Monday, November 6:

After their talk a day earlier, Li has words for Wendy. They’d better include “thank” and “you.” Just sayin’.

Harris is concerned about Ava’s new job. But how worrisome can it really be, considering that her past occupation was mob Queenpin?

Cue the eyebrow-raising when Chad discovers Stephanie and Everett together.

Marlena, Roman, and Brady celebrate Eric and Sloan’s nuptials. But will they manage to get hitched without a hitch? This is Salem, after all!

Stefan makes a shocking discovery, one that’s likely to change the course of several lives forever.

Billy Flynn and his wife pull off one heck of a pregnancy reveal — straight out of the movies!

Tuesday, November 7:

And here we thought [Spoiler] was about to meet their maker. Actually, maybe they still will, considering that Wendy vows revenge.

Have a seat, Gabi — the hot one. Rafe has questions and demands answers from his sister.

Miracles happen! EJ sets business aside to celebrate his wedding night.

Ever wonder why Paulina rarely wears tops without sleeves? It’s because, as she does today, she likes to pull aces out of them!

And in light of the sad passing of a former Days of Our Lives leading man, Tyler Christopher, may he rest in peace as our thoughts and prayers go out to his family!

Wednesday, November 8:

Happy 58th  Anniversary Days of Our Lives!

Days of Our Lives celebrates its 58th anniversary.

At the same time, John and Marlena celebrate their anniversary. But, um, which one? They have had a few!

On this most special of days, Maggie reminisces about Victor.

Quelle surprise! Tensions grow in the custody battle between Xander and Sarah.

Hoping that two heads are better than one, Alex and Theresa hatch a plan. What could possibly go wrong?

Thursday, November 9:

We don’t like the sound of this: Rafe bears news of Gabi’s fate. Is the show really going to go this route to write off Camila Banus?

At the same time, Wendy’s courage is tested, and Dimitri grapples with his guilt. So hey — he does have a conscience after all!

Friday, November 10:

All’s fair in love and war, so we can probably guess where Chad will land after he debates playing dirty.

Leo and Dimitri had better work on their poker faces because they are suddenly persons of interest to Jada.

It may be an exercise in futility, but nonetheless, Stephanie attempts to set boundaries with Everett.

Let’s hear it for Craiglist! Melinda finds a baby for Eric and Sloan.

November Sweeps/Predictions:

Nicole is involved in a car accident with Leo and Dimitri, the letter delivers her prematurely born baby to the hospital. At the same time, Eric and Sloan’s adoption falls through. “Is it possible these two stories are going to cross?” Gee, ya think?

The crushing news that Days of Our Lives’ Calliope Jones has passed away brings Eugene Bradford back to Salem to host a memorial that is unlike any other.

Tate admits that he’s got a crush on Holly. There’s only one problem: She’s got her sights set on an older man — not to mention Chanel’s man — Johnny.

Theresa thinks she’s about to hit the jackpot, what with having made everyone believe that Victor’s surprise son is Alex, not Xander. But when the truth comes out, she’ll find herself short both a lover and a fortune.

Everett continues causing trouble for the two couples. Chad, having only just gotten past his jealousy of Alex, finds himself less than thrilled when Everett makes it clear he wants Stephanie back. Meanwhile, Rafe wonders if he, too, has to worry about Everett, given that he is Jada’s ex-husband!

Although Konstantin was introduced as a total scuzzo, as he attempts to play Maggie, he’ll remember that in his chest is an actual functioning heart. So by the time his and Theresa’s scheme is revealed, he’ll have fallen head over heels for Victor’s widow.

Clyde proves that he truly does have a long reach, managing to manipulate several Salemites despite being behind bars. Look for Stefan, Ava, Harris, and others to become caught up in his machinations. Could fellow inmate Lucas be the key to Clyde’s downfall?

Gabi thinks that she has Kristen right where she wants her, she, uh, most definitely doesn’t. In fact, all it takes for her to thwart Gabi is for Rachel to realize that her mother is being blackmailed and prove herself to be a chip off the old block by turning the tables and threatening to expose the schemer if she doesn’t get the hell out of Dodge.

For a while there, Ava “spent a lot of time making lasagna,” So by putting her in charge of Clyde’s drug operation, he hopes to harden the edges that had been softened and set up a “Batman/Catwoman situation” between her and straight-arrow Harris.

Eh, forget it. Nobody’s gonna believe scheme queen Gabi didn’t murder Li. So Stefan’s going to have his work cut out for him keeping her from making a return trip to the big house.

Weekly Spoilers: October 30-November 3, 2023

 


The Young & the Restless

They say that the truth will set you free. But is that what Ashley can look forward to after unburdening herself ……   Or will she be opening a Pandora’s Box that she wishes had stayed closed? In other developments, both Victor and Mamie put the screws on Nate, Adam receives his weekly shock, and Phyllis is sure to be “bugged” when Cricket gets an episode all to herself.

Monday, October 30:

It seems like it was only yesterday that Tucker and Ashley were pronounced husband and wife. And today? As she confronts him, they’ll get rechristened the Bickersons.

What Mamie wants, Mamie gets? That remains to be seen after she gives Nate an ultimatum.

Perhaps forgetting his own outsized sense of entitlement in his youth, Jack loses patience with Kyle.

Tuesday, October 31:

Since the siblings are on good terms again, Jack feels free to call in a favor with Ashley. But he wouldn’t dare suggest that she pump Tucker for information about his plot… would he?

Knowing full well where they are, Audra pushes Kyle’s buttons. Will he realize that he’s being played… or just zone out and enjoy playtime?

Devon knows his dad well enough to quickly latch on to the fact that the tale he’s telling is of the tall variety.

Wednesday, November 1:

As Victor tests Nick and Victoria, we and perhaps you, too, will wonder anew why they don’t just say “To hell with it!” and walk away from their impossible father.

She’s baaack! Chelsea surprises Billy.

Since Adam has a rude awakening, we’re going to guess that the last to know that Victor has been messing with his kids finally finds out. Well, unless you count Abby. Which Dad apparently doesn’t?

Thursday, November 2:

In a special Lauralee Bell-centric episode, Christine looks back and ahead. And considering that she just went through a major change — all about that here — who could blame her for being a little lot reflective!

Friday, November 3:

Maybe this is Victor’s way of saying “Welcome to the family!” Or maybe he plays hardball with Nate just to while away the few minutes of the day that he isn’t poke, poke, poking at his heirs.

Sounds like we’ll finally find out all the gory details of what went down in Paris when Ashley makes a confession.

Pity party, table for two. Billy gives Kyle a wake-up call, no doubt warning his nephew that Jack has greased the corporate ladder to ensure that no one can ever reach his lofty perch.

General Hospital

While a few people deal with unsuspecting confrontations, others share their opinions — plus, one woman makes a costly mistake, Cyrus comes face to face with Portia and Trina, and Sam pays Carly a visit.

Monday, October 30:

Apparently having not heard that alcohol only makes a depression worse, Austin hits the bottle — hard — in an attempt to drown his sorrows.

Sonny has a warm reunion.

We expect Nikolas’ ears will be ringing when Laura and Ava sit down to compare notes.

Things seem to be going better for Liz and Finn this time around as they continue to get closer.

Remember when Olivia wanted Eddie gone, gone, gone? Well, the way she defends the guy makes us think maybe she’s changing her mind about that.

Sooo sweet! Baby’s first photo shoot: The son of Chad Duell is ready for his close-up.

Tuesday, October 31:

Anna tires of sitting in wait and opts to make a move.

Given the long history she shares with Sonny, it’s not all that unusual that Laura turns to him for help.

Cyrus goes knock, knock, knocking on the door of someone who would just as soon he not.

Here’s hoping Trina’s nightmare doesn’t become a reality.

Valentin and his troubled daughter strike a deal.

Wednesday, November 1:

Better late than never, Halloween in Port Charles finally gets underway.

Is the offer Ava receives more trick or treat?

There’s no love lost between Robert and Scott, as proven when they go head to head.

Someone is about to feel Carly’s wrath as she issues a warning.

Lois is there to provide her ex, Eddie, with a boost when he needs it.

Thursday, November 2:

Days of Our Lives – Peacock

It’s Halloween in Salem, as a shocking discovery is made, a mischievous plan is hatched and a surprise about Li’s past is uncovered — plus, Eric’s impulsive decision stuns Sloan and Marlena!

Monday, October 30:

Nicole is pretty accustomed to EJ being moody, but how will she react when she finds him bubbling over with fury?

Who’s that knock, knock, knockin’ on Stephanie’s door? Someone from the past who she never, ever expected to see!

Marlena can’t help but be concerned about a patient who is anything but stable.

Gabi and Stefan have reason to celebrate, but it’s not enough… they’ve tasted victory, and now they want more!

Tuesday, October 31:

If you know nothing else about Salem, you know that things get very weird around these parts when Halloween rolls around. How odd? Well, how about Stephanie and Kayla whipping up a little magic? Meanwhile, Paulina and Abe’s movie night definitely does not go as planned…

Holly is about to prove that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree when she cooks up a bit of mischief!

Things will get very complicated after Eric, Sloan, and Nicole make a discovery that can only be described as “shocking.”

Wednesday, November 1:

A turn out Li’s past isn’t quite the open book we may have believed. At least that seems the case after Marlena finds out something about him!

What’s a day without a little bit of blackmail? Never fear… as long as Stefan and Gabi are around, we won’t have to find out.

News begins to spread about Nicole and EJ’s upcoming wedding and… well, let’s just say that not everyone is thrilled.

Tate admits to Eric that he might be interested in a certain young woman named Holly.

Thursday, November 2:

EJ and Nicole’s wedding day gets started… but what’s a Salem wedding without some kind of disruption? This time around, it comes in the form of uninvited guests!

Gabi asks — wait, this can’t be right, can it? Why yes, apparently she actually has the nerve to ask Li for a little help!

Eric admits he’s got feelings for Nicole. The only question is who in town he might tell, given that everyone pretty much knows that to be a fact.

Tate may be into Holly, but she’s about to confess that the person she’s into is Johnny!

If your memory is as foggy as ours where “The Pawn” is concerned, take this deep dive into that classic story — which seems about to resurface!

Friday, November 3:

We’ve always thought of Eric as being the kind of guy who looks before he leaps. But Marlena and Sloan are about to find out that he can be incredibly impulsive!

We’re not sure Nicole is the best person in the world to give relationship advice, but that’s who gives some to Chad.

Everett has some rather surprising news for Stephanie.

Wendy proves herself to be a good sis when Li needs comfort.
