Beyond the Gates: Judgment Day

Since the very first episode, Hayley has been up to her eyeballs in schemes. And between her lack of discretion and the number of people now looking at her suspiciously, it’s only a matter of time before her house of cards comes tumbling down.

Bold & Beautiful: Help Wanted

Thanks to Eric’s designs, Katie successfully launched Logan. But the thing about putting out fashion lines is, there’s always got to be a next one. Count on Katie to recruit disgruntled Forrester employee Hope and brother Deke.

Days of Our Lives: Going Off Half-Cocked

There’s a reason Stephanie was recently schooled in how to handle a firearm, and it isn’t for her protection. No, she’s sure to accidentally shoot Alex’s babymama Joy, prompting him to move her in while she recovers from her injury.

General Hospital: Labor of Love

Portia is due to deliver any minute now. But we can’t see things going smoothly, not with Curtis convinced his ex-wife’s lover caused his ex-wife’s disfigurement. We may be headed for the most devastating tragedy since lil’ Liam’s passing.

Young & Restless: Live and Let Love

The revelation that — surprise — Cane is a match to donate the bone marrow needed to save Malcolm’s life will altogether make Lily forget the countless times her mercurial former spouse has betrayed her and reunite with him.

Beyond the Gates: The Impaler Revealed?

We know that Lia is a major player in the plasma ring but isn’t the individual in charge. Who is? Let’s just say we don’t think it’s a coincidence that the show just recruited a Bold & BeautifulYoung & Restless and General Hospital alum for a secret role.

Bold & Beautiful: The Enemy of My Enemy

Though R.J. has been hella judgmental of Miss Dylan, he also sees in her a potential ally in his efforts to do what Ivy couldn’t: keep Electra and Will apart. The question is, will Miss Dylan be lured over to the dark side by the nepo baby?

We’ll Drink to That

Days of Our Lives: The Fight of His Wives

It isn’t just time, it’s past time for Lexie to wake up and try to reclaim the love of her life from his subsequent wife, Paulina. We have to assume Lexie has the edge, too, given that Abe’s current missus kept Theo’s mom’s resurrection a secret — a big no-no, that!

General Hospital: Tick… Tick… Boom!

Carly’s never been one to play it safe. But she’ll soon have to ask herself just how much danger she’s put herself in by sleeping with Valentin behind a vengeful Jack’s back. Our hunch: a whole helluva lot!

Young & Restless: The Bug Stings!

Phyllis has refused to cave to Victor’s demands, so she’s destined to pay the price. Meaning, she’ll be hauled into court with his trumped-up evidence of the crime she actually committed with nemesis Christine as D.A. (Here’s Phyllis’ one hope.)

Beyond the Gates: Doth She Protest Too Much?

Dani swears up and down that she’s well and truly over ex-husband Bill. But — and we hate to say it, Andre — we don’t buy it, especially considering the Young & Restless couple to which Karla Mosley has likened the former marrieds.

Bold & Beautiful: … and Baby Makes Trouble

No way is it a coincidence that Quinn’s name has come up so often lately. In fact, we’ll go so far as to wager that as soon as Daphne and Carter learn they can’t have a child of their own, his old flame will show up with their surprise baby.

Days of Our Lives: A Dis for the Ages

Even from the grave, Stefano is stirring the pot. We have a hunch that the reason Marlena was added as a beneficiary to his will is that the Phoenix at the last minute decided to leave the whole kit and caboodle to his Queen of the Night.

General Hospital: Not So Fast

Everybody sensibly predicts that Brook Lynn and Chase are going to end up wanting to adopt foster daughter Phoebe. So we reckon that will be exactly when the baby’s father shows up and decides to exercise his parental rights.

Young & Restless: Game Over

The walls are closing in on Matt Clark. He’s already cheated death and eluded the long arm of the law. Plus, he’s running out of people to kidnap. Fingers crossed when his number gets punched, we get a proper murder mystery.

Beyond the Gates: Party of the Year

The much-discussed cotillion promises to be the rare soap event that actually lives up to the hype. Expect to see lots of couples coming together dressed to slay on the show’s fantabulous new ballroom set.

Bold & Beautiful: The Witch Is Back

Anyone who thinks that Sheila is just going to let Deacon and Taylor live happily ever after is in for a rude awakening. Even the show has teased the return of the villainess’ homicidal tendencies — and in graphic fashion. See for yourself here.

Days of Our Lives: The Truth Hurts

Sometimes the less said, the better. So Gabi will be reminded when she feels confident enough in her and Philip’s relationship that she confesses her betrayal of Titan — and her significant other cuts her loose so fast, her head spins!

General Hospital: The Evil Twin

With Josslyn investigating “Nathan,” it’s only a matter of time before his true identity is revealed. Will Lulu want anything to do with Cassius? Can Obrecht and Nina forgive him? Is there a way that he doesn’t get arrested for basically holding Britt hostage?

Young & Restless: Past, Present, Future?

Noah and Audra still light up in each other’s presence — a sure sign that at last we’re heading for the rematch that even his previous portrayer Rory Gibson was always hoping to get to play. Maybe that’ll free up Sienna for a romance with Nick?

General Hospital: Welcome Back

Man, poor Anna has been put through the wringer since she was kidnapped and terrorized. But at last Emma’s grandmother is headed home to Port Charles — and to enough shocks to make her wish she’d extended her time away!

Beyond the Gates: Hell On Wheels

Leslie has gotten away with one misdeed after another. But the show’s EP has promised that the schemer who nearly killed Laura has a reckoning coming her way — perhaps one that even her newfound riches won’t help her avoid!

Photo : CBS screenshot

Bold & Beautiful: Bad Connection

When Remy resurfaced, we discovered that he had a new tie to the canvas — to someone whose point of view can be, like his, skewed. So despite turning over a new leaf, the conniver is sure to pick up where Luna left off making trouble.

Days of Our Lives: Odd Woman Out

Now that EJ’s taken up Johnny’s plagiarism case, Kate’s scheme is on the verge of altogether unraveling. When it does, she stands to lose everything: Titan will be left in shambles and, her marriage to Roman, on life support!

General Hospital: The Jig’s Up

Willow has been getting away with (attempted) murder for months. But she’s destined to trip on her web of lies now that Nina knows the truth, and Drew has clued in Liz. Then it will be interesting to see if Willow really has Mom take the fall for her.

Young & Restless: The Odd Couple

Victoria’s defense of her Daddy Dearest has put her low on Kyle’s list of his favorite people. But they’ve shared too many scenes recently not to leave us wondering whether they’re being positioned for a love/hate May/December affair.
