Port Charles is serving up its usual dose of secrets, scandals, and surprises. Trina's birthday bash is bittersweet, Charlotte finally comes home (but not without drama), and Sonny drops a bombshell about his health. Meanwhile, Carly and Jack take things to the next level, but just as the steam rises, an unexpected face lurks in the shadows. Let's dive in GH fans! Jack & Carly | ABC Trina’s Birthday Brings More Than Cake Birthdays are supposed to be fun, right? Well, in Port Charles, they’re just another excuse for emotional turmoil. Trina's so-called surprise birthday party was less about cake and more about unresolved feelings. While she’s all smiles on the surface, her heart is still carrying the weight of Spencer's absence. Laura tries to console her, but nothing quite shakes the ghost of a lost love. The highlight? Joss’ hilariously practical gift—a white noise machine to help Trina sleep. Cute, but not exactly the distraction she needs. Then there’s Emma, w...

In Friday’s wild ride of Beyond the Gates, Dani takes “bad decisions” to new heights, Derek’s got serious trust issues, and Kat leaves Tomás absolutely speechless. Let’s break it all down in this BTG recap, where the drama never sleeps—especially when someone’s passed out on their ex’s couch. Dani | CBS Dani’s Package of Chaos – What Could Possibly Go Wrong? Dani insists her latest scheme has nothing—absolutely nothing—to do with The Shamiltons (a.k.a. Bill and Hayley), and she’s totally over them. Oh, sure, girl. We believe you. And yet, somehow, she still finds herself lurking outside their house with a package in hand, assuring security that it’s not a bomb. Because, you know, that’s a totally normal thing people have to clarify. “All I want is a fresh start,” she claims, before adding ominously that she’s about to give them something they’ll never forget. Well, that part is at least accurate. Against every fiber of common sense, security guard George decides to trust Dani ( why...

Oh honey, if you thought the drama at Forrester Creations had peaked, think again! In Friday’s B&B recap, we witnessed boardroom power plays, secret betrayals, and a mother-daughter showdown so intense it could fuel a primetime drama all on its own. Let’s dive into this full episode recap and unpack every deliciously scandalous moment. Ridge & Eric | CBS Brooke’s Wake-Up Call: Hope’s Romantic Disaster Unraveled Brooke Logan, the queen of forever rehashing her love life, was deep in thought at Hope’s cabin. Hope arrived, late as usual, and was immediately interrogated about her latest mess. This time? Daphne locked lips with Carter, and Brooke was clutching her pearls (as if she’s never seen a scandal before). Hope, ever the delusional optimist, actually thought she could manipulate Carter and get away with it. But newsflash, sweetheart—Carter is waking up, and your grip on him is slipping. Brooke, bless her heart, still hoped to break them up and bring Carter back to reality...

Gas leaks, last-minute rescues, and mysterious masterminds—this Y&R recap has you covered. Phyllis & Sharon | CBS/SONY Sharon and Phyllis: Trashing the Place Like ‘90s Rockstars Ladies and gentlemen, if you ever find yourself kidnapped, take a page out of Phyllis and Sharon’s book—throw a tantrum, flip some tables, and turn your hostage situation into a full-blown destruction derby.

Lulu reunites with Charlotte | ABC The Sky’s the Limit: Charlotte’s Homecoming in Port Charles We all know GH doesn’t do reunions the easy way. Nope, that would be too predictable!

Li’s had it with her sister’s life choices and makes it abundantly clear that she no longer has a sister. Poppy leaves in tears, because let’...

Thursday’s episode of Days of Our Lives was a rollercoaster of shady dealings, heartfelt goodbyes, and one more reason to add EJ DiMera to your “Absolutely Not” list. Marlena and Steve set off on their grand rescue mission, Johnny struggles to make sense of his father’s nonsense, and Roman reaches his limit with EJ’s endless list of crimes. If you missed the full episode recap, don’t worry—I’ve got all the details, and I’m not holding back. Roman | Peacock Theresa, Tate, and the Art of Meddling Theresa thought today would be a great day to hit up Small Bar with her son, Tate, because nothing says "quality mother-son bonding" like sipping a mocktail in a place where bad decisions are made. Tate, predictably, is uncomfortable, not just because of the location but because his mom has a talent for making any situation worse. Case in point: she immediately brings up his baby drama with Sophia. When he assures her he was responsible, she almost buys it—until he mentions Johnny and...
