Things are getting grim over on B&B, and the drama is hitting harder than a Forrester fashion show gone wrong. In Thursday’s The Bold and the Beautiful full episode recap, we’re riding the emotional rollercoaster with tearful declarations, shocking eavesdropping, and enough secrets to fuel a jumbo jet. Carter | B&B, CBS Hope and Liam Take a Stroll Down Memory Lane Over at Brooke’s house, Hope is playing the loyal ride-or-die as Liam opens up about his terrifying health crisis. He’s got a brain mass that’s not budging, and while he’s trying to stay all Zen and nostalgic, the stabbing headaches and dizzy spells are screaming otherwise. Hope’s clinging to optimism like it’s her job — she’s not about to let him talk like he’s on the way out, even if he’s acting like every cuddle could be his last. Liam, of course, wants to spend his potentially numbered days wrapped in family memories instead of hospital gowns. He’s all about love and legacy, waxing poetic about birthdays and bik...

From Eva’s shady birthday blow-off to Kat recording Leslie’s wannabe Bond villain monologue, this Beyond the Gates full episode recap is your VIP pass to all the chaos, scandal, and sass BTG served up on Thursday. Trust us—you don’t want to miss a single mic drop. New Ted ( Keith D. Robinson) | BTG, CBS When Breakfast Leads to Breakups Welcome to another Beyond the Gates recap where breakfast turns into a battlefield, birthday plans are trashed like last season's wardrobe, and everybody’s pointing fingers—sometimes with receipts. Let’s start with the disaster duo: Ashley and Derek. These two lovebirds wake up looking like they’ve been through a UFC match—because apparently, Ashley’s kickboxing dreams come to life in her sleep. After Derek gets evicted from their apartment in favor of a girls-only brunch, tensions hit the roof. And oh yes, it escalates. Orange juice straight from the carton? In Ashley’s house? Grounds for divorce. Instead of, say, working on communication, these...

On Thursday’s Days of Our Lives, everyone’s got an agenda—and most of them are crashing and burning. From a drug heist gone embarrassingly sideways to Tate hosting a prom-themed birthday bash while burning up with a fever, Salem never disappoints. Marlena finally gets a call about John, Paulina plays political hardball, and Kevin proves once again that crime is best left to professionals. Shawn & Steve | DOOL, Peacock Marlena Has Questions, and Tate Has… a Fever?  Marlena strolls in just as Tate’s doing his best party planner impersonation for Sophia’s birthday, complete with decorations and a little too much effort. Of course, Grandma can’t resist a heart-to-heart. She grills him on whether he’s still got feelings for Sophia (he swears he doesn’t), but she reminds him that this kind of “just friends” energy could be misleading. Spoiler alert: he only has eyes for Holly, but if that’s true, Marlena says there’s hope for a reunion. Their convo pivots to Johnny and that whole fa...

In Thursday's General Hospital full episode recap, Brook Lynn gets emotional, Lulu digs for baby truth, and Dante throws all the blame Gio’s way. Let's get right to it! Gio | GH, ABC Brook Lynn Breaks Down Over Her Baby Over at the Quartermaine docks, Brook Lynn is a teary mess thinking about the son she gave up—the same one she’s been pretending to forget for years. And guess what? It’s his birthday. Cue the waterworks. Chase catches her mid-cry and she spills that she can’t stop dreaming about the boy finding her one day. But just when you think she’s ready for a reunion, she slams the door shut. Nope. He has to come find her . Classic deflection, but Chase eats it up and calls her a great mom. Honestly? He’s not wrong, but let’s not pretend this isn’t eating her alive. Oh, and she bounces because rehearsal calls. Priorities. Gio’s Birthday Bash... That He Doesn’t Even Know About While Brook Lynn is crying about her son, that son—yes, Gio—is over at the Nurses Ball rehears...

On Thursday's The Young and the Restless Phyllis spirals in style, Kyle plays with fire (again) as Claire puts the brakes on moving in with him. Here’s your full episode recap of everything you didn’t know you needed. Claire | Y&R, CBS SONY Phyllis Is Fabulous... and Falling Apart Phyllis is serving confidence with a side of chaos. While Nick tries to have a normal morning at the club, Phyllis is busy throwing shade about Summer’s new boy toy and proclaiming how fabulous she looks (she’s not wrong, but still). She’s definitely not over the whole Billy drama and admits she and Daniel are aimless without something juicy to work on. But don’t worry—she’s chasing down the elusive Aristotle Dumas for funding like it’s Shark Tank: Genoa City Edition. Nick’s not buying the confident act and tries to offer support (and cash), but Phyllis won’t take his money. She’s messy, but she’s got pride. Claire Puts the Brakes On Over at the ranch, Claire announces that moving in with Kyle is a...

Let’s just cut to it—Liam’s dying, and no, we are not OK. In Wednesday's emotional The Bold and the Beautiful full episode recap, Hope finds out the heartbreaking truth, Steffy defies Liam’s dying wish, and Brooke decides now’s the perfect time to play Cupid for Carter. Because of course she does. Liam | B&B, CBS Hope Learns the Truth—and It’s Soul-Crushing At Casa Logan, Liam walks in like a man with a mission: confession. And Hope? She already knows. One look at her face and Liam can tell Steffy cracked and spilled everything. He’s not mad about it (not really), but wow, way to ignore the man’s dying wish, Steffy. Still, Hope’s grateful, even though she’s shattered into a million pieces. She’s sobbing about how unfair it is and begging the universe not to take Liam from her and the kids. And Liam? He’s just trying to keep it together long enough to say goodbye. He talks about the whole near-death episode and how a medical team had to drill into his skull (you know, casual)....

Wednesday's full episode recap of Beyond the Gates serves sass and secrets on a silver platter — from Anita’s tone-deaf attempt at redemption to Eva winning over her haters with a blowout and a blush. Oh, and did Dani and Andre finally get caught? Andre & Dani | BTG, CBS Anita’s Comeback Hits a Sour Note Our girl Anita kicked things off by tickling the ivories with all the emotion of someone pretending they’re not dying to reunite with the Articulettes. Vernon, bless him, thought a little nostalgia might do the trick — and somehow believed he could duet his way into convincing her. Let’s just say his pipes are... not ready for prime time. After that assault on melody, Anita finally got real. She’s scared, and for once, not even her ego can pretend otherwise. But with Vernon by her side, she dares to dream. So she calls Sharon. Sharon picks up — and hangs up. Cold. The past isn’t staying in the past, and clearly, it’s got caller ID. Bill’s Not-So-Smooth Move Meanwhile, over...

On Wednesday's episode of Days of Our Lives, Kristen unleashes her fury, Philip goes full criminal mastermind, and tea parties are anything but relaxing. Catch every eyebrow-raising moment in this full episode recap that’s more drama than Salem can handle. Philip | DOOL, Peacock Kristen's Meltdown Sends Shockwaves  EJ and Belle were busy playing flirty house on the couch when little Queen of Hearts Rachel crashed the party with Kristen as her overgrown Alice in Wonderland sidekick. Brady shows up with Mad Hatter vibes and enough tension to power the Salem grid. The tea party was on, but let’s just say the real beverage served was discomfort. EJ and Brady barely hide their mutual disdain while Rachel chirps about upcoming birthdays and pregnancy news until things get as awkward as a wedding with two exes. Kristen tries wrangling EJ into helping her with Brady and her messy public image, but he’s not signing any character reference forms. Not his circus, not his bullets. Oh, a...

In Wednesday's full episode recap of General Hospital, Willow’s world implodes with custody drama, Carly’s scheming backfires in spectacular fashion, and Ric’s lies start to unravel faster than a bad weave. From Nurses Ball drama to custody battles, here’s the GH recap everyone’s talking about. Willow | GH, ABC Willow’s World Comes Crashing Down Just when Willow thought things couldn’t get messier, the universe said “watch this.” Nina popped in playing the supportive mama bear, co-signing Willow and Drew’s relationship like it’s the feel-good story of the year. All sweet, right? Not for long. Moments later, some guy showed up at the door to deliver an express package of chaos: Michael’s filing for divorce and, oh yeah, full custody of the kids. Cue the gasp, the clutching of pearls, and Willow barely holding it together. Meanwhile, Drew, trying to channel his inner fixer, calls in Ric of all people to help. Yes, Ric—the same man who’s currently starring in his own mystery involvi...

In Wednesday's full episode recap of The Young and the Restless, Billy’s barking, Victor’s scheming, Adam’s being Adam, and Phyllis? She’s ready to sell secrets to the highest bidder. Let’s break down all the drama with our latest Y&R recap. Victor & Billy | Y&R, CBS SONY Billy, Victor, and Adam Bring the Chaos Billy kicked off the day with a fake-nice hello to Chelsea before marching straight over to Adam with a warning: Victor’s threats won’t work this time. Adam, in peak smug mode, acted like he’s just reporting the facts and reminded Billy that Victor’s always ten moves ahead.  Thursday's Y&R Spoilers Meanwhile, Victor was downstairs giving Phyllis five minutes to impress him. She teased info on Billy and Aristotle Dumas, but before she spilled anything, she demanded to know just how interested Victor really was. Turns out, not enough to be manipulated by a woman who thinks vague threats are a business strategy. Chelsea, ever the peacemaker, tried to get Bi...

On Tuesday's The Bold and the Beautiful, emotions boil over as Steffy and Finn slam the door on Luna, Sheila plays therapist-lite, and Liam gets way too sentimental with Hope—and then figures out she knows he's dying. More tissues please. Steffy the Ice Queen, Luna the Outcast Let’s start where the drama lit up—right at the cliff house, where Luna, bless her naive little heart, thought she could just waltz in and “see her father.” Girl, this isn’t a daytime therapy session. This is The Bold and the Beautiful, and if you show up at Steffy’s uninvited, you better expect to get the boot. Luna's there after talking to Finn, eyes all dewy, wanting nothing more than a tearful reconnection with her father. Except Steffy’s face when she walks in? Pure stone-cold CEO energy. Steffy’s like, “What is she doing in my house?” Finn tries to play middleman, but let’s be real—he was not exactly thrilled either. Luna whines about needing closure and having daddy-daughter dreams, but Steffy...

Tuesday’s Beyond the Gates full episode recap is a masterclass in dysfunction, as Ted vows to reclaim his wife (good luck with that), Doug finds himself neck-deep in debt with the worst loan shark in Fairmont Crest, and Leslie earns the title of "Most Unwelcome Brunch Guest."  Leslie | BTG, CBS Ted Declares War on Divorce Look who woke up thinking he’s the main character — it’s Ted, strutting into the country club with Eva like he’s not the reason Nicole canceled all her appointments and went into hiding. After making himself visible enough to cause a scene, Ted delivers the most cringe-inducing declaration of the day: He plans to win Nicole back by their next anniversary. Sir, read the room. Nicole’s barely holding it together and you're staging a publicity stunt with your secret daughter over eggs Benedict. Wednesday's BTG Spoilers Meanwhile, Dani is doing the Lord’s work, dragging Nicole out of bed and reminding her that Duprees do not cower in the shadows. And wh...

In Tuesday's Days of Our Lives full episode recap EJ and Philip face off, while Sarah and Xander get cozy with talk of Baby No. 2. Oh, and let’s not forget Paulina’s mama bear moment.  Paulina | DOOL, Peacock Roman’s Gun Drama and a Shady Flower Pot Apparently, we’re still not done dissecting Roman’s vanishing gun saga. Turns out, the night EJ got shot, Roman spilled the tea to Johnny about the gun—only for it to go MIA shortly after. Wednesday's DOOL Spoilers Cue the panic: Roman rushed to the DiMera mansion and found it shoved in a flower pot like a prop in a bad soap parody. And no, he hasn’t mentioned it to Sami, because that woman would turn a pothole into a canyon. He’s also dodging a convo with Johnny, who’s already drowning in guilt over discovering his origin story was more scandal than fairy tale. Kate and Roman: Love, Lies, and Letter Fakes While Roman’s busy with flower pots and regrets, Kate has her own drama confession: that letter Vivian forged? Yeah, Philip ...
