The Bold and the Beautiful
Wait, what in the world happened on Friday?! Did The Bold and the Beautiful just drop a major clue as to why Bill’s really going along with Sheila — and drop a history shifting bombshell on us at the same time?
- Get ready for the mother of all crossovers, because it may just take a Bold & Beautiful/Young & Restless joint effort to take Sheila down!
- While all this Sheila drama has been going down, one person’s been conspicuously absent: Ridge! And if he finally returns to town with a bombshell of his own, all eyes could soon be back on him!
- The newest addition to Heather Tom’s family had pretty much the entire internet going crazy over the adorableness!
- Don Diamont’s strapping twin boys have hit another milestone — and we took the opportunity to look back on their lives with a photo-fest!
For most of the week, Bold & Beautiful just kinda treaded water… but as Richard notes, Friday’s episode seemed to be a game-changer. Did Brooke really reach Bill? And did Liam and Hope’s conversation just reveal Sheila’s hold over Bill?
What Went Down Last Week: Taylor, Steffy, Katie, Wyatt and Liam all took turns descending on Bill’s doorstep to try and convince him to put Sheila behind bars where she belongs. No one was able to get through, but things got pretty emotional with Katie, especially when she brought up Will. Once alone, Bill and Sheila made love in front of the fireplace and declared their devotion to one another. But after being brought into the loop, Brooke showed up and reminded Bill that he told her he’d do anything for her. And she wants him to put Sheila back in the slammer. Bill seemed to be listening to his favorite blonde, but we’ll have to wait until next week to be sure!
Days of Our Lives
Even as we may be getting a surprisingly new branch of the DiMera family tree, Days of Our Lives looks like its gearing up to hack off another one in a big way! At this point, just about the only question left is: How?
- In a Soaps.com exclusive, Paul Telfer and Linsey Godfrey tease the one relationship that could save their marriage — and it’s not one we were expecting!
- This past week saw a ton of Salemites coming together who don’t usually interact, and that got us thinking about the scene we need to see — but probably won’t!
- EJ may have more than his share of problems when it comes to women, but Dan Feuerriegel paid tribute to a special lady who’s meant so much to his life.
- As we were wondering where in the world Sami was as her mother died, Alison Sweeney was busy sharing a nightmarish memory that left us squirming!
Perhaps the biggest surprise Days of Our Lives has managed to pull off hasn’t been any of the deaths that have torn through Salem, but how much Curtis is enjoying what’s turned out to be a sprawling tale! But whether that can outweigh the predictability at the heart of this story is another matter!
What Went Down Last Week: Sarah misconstrued what she saw when she found Xander and Gwen together half-naked. Sonny promptly kicked Leo out of the Kiriakis mansion after Will told him about the con helping Xander and Gwen. Steve made an inadmissible recording of Kristen confessing her crimes to Johnny. The young DiMera agreed to testify they had the conversation, leading Rafe and Jada to arrest Kristen, just as she was about to run away with Rachel. Kristen tried to blackmail EJ into defending her, but he told Stefan he knew Li brainwashed him. Johnny and Chanel shared a charged moment while helping set up a surprise for Marlena. As John and Marlena watched photos of their life on a rooftop wall, she died in his arms.
General Hospital
From leukemia to Mama Nina, Willow’s tale has taken quite a few twists and turns, but none of that can compare to the next nightmarish surprise that may be in her future!
- If you thought we’d seen the last of Elizabeth’s mother, think again! Because Denise Crosby is making her explosive return as Carolyn gets mixed up with the last person she should!
- Nina may have thought she was getting exactly what she wanted with Willow, but as usual, she screwed it all up! Is there any way for her to salvage the mess she made?
- Now that Britt is, sadly, in her review mirror, Kelly Thiebaud revealed her future — and a video that gave us a hint at what’s to come!
- A General Hospital conspiracy theory?? That’s exactly what Laura Wright had to face down as a ticked off viewer took a wild leap of logic with Carly’s portrayer.
As Carly’s secret continued to explode, everyone from the fans to the characters were choosing sides… and Dustin had plenty to say to both camps in his column! He was less sure, though, when it came to Esme and whether she’s faking her amnesia, but he knows who can figure it out!
What Went Down Last Week: Michael and Willow were floored to learn that Nina was Willow’s biological mother and that Carly had known for almost a year. Willow and (eventually) Michael forgave Carly. Sonny, on the other, hand accused Carly of doing this simply to hurt Nina, who’s waiting to see if she can donate bone marrow to Willow. Spencer hired Diane to try and gain custody of Nikolas and Esme’s child. Esme was remanded to Spring Ridge pending her trial, and Heather latched on to her amnesiac daughter. Victor informed Nikolas that he had agreed to give Ava Spoon Island in their divorce settlement. Cam was stunned when he found Dex and Joss, in states of undress, in her door room. Meanwhile, Liz got a shock when her mother turned up in Port Charles and Portia and Curtis convinced Marshall to learn if he was misdiagnosed with schizophrenia.
The Young and the Restless
Jack and Diane’s plan seemed to go off without a hitch, but time will tell if that actually holds true. Because we just found a fatal flaw in their plot that could bring both of them crashing down!
- One little meeting could be a very big deal for Lauren, as a newcomer is about to turn up in Genoa City. Find out all the details here!
- Things could be getting complicated for Daniel soon as Vail Bloom brings Heather back for a visit with their daughter Lucy in tow — and looking very different from when we last saw her!
- Eric Braeden has been in the entertainment business for a long time, so when he says he’s ‘never known anyone more honest’ than *this* General Hospital actor, trust that he knows what he’s talking about!
- Whoah, are we seeing double?? That’s the question we had to ask when Michelle Stafford revealed a real-life lookalike who’s the “most amazing in the land…”
All this talk and utterly no action has got Candace fuming in this week’s Young & Restless column. As far as she’s concerned, Jeremy Stark has officially joined the dubious ranks of non-villainous villains, but while she understands fan fury over Devon being pushed out of his own company, at least it’s trying to create drama!
What Went Down This Week: Summer and Kyle fought over his mother being a magnet for trouble. Jack and Diane framed Jeremy for stealing Nikki’s necklace and he was hauled off to jail, but both Nikki and Chance were suspicious. Chance’s disillusionment led to a discussion with Sharon about leaving law enforcement. Mariah and Tessa returned to Genoa City with the news that Delphine wants them to adopt her baby. Phyllis hung out with Tucker and Devon was stunned when Lily and Jill refused to sell his company back to him. Victoria, meanwhile, made nice with Chelsea, and Nick figured out that Sally is pregnant, so she came clean.
