Wednesday’s BTG Spoilers See Joey Armstrong Playing His Favorite Game: Let’s Make a Deal

JOEY ARMSTRONG WANTS SOMETHING ON WEDNESDAY’S BTG BUT THERE ARE STRINGS ATTACHED

TL;DR: Joey Armstrong makes a request on Wednesday’s Beyond the Gates, and it comes with a catch! What does the casino king want, and what’s the price? Plus, Ashley reacts to news from Shanice, Vernon shares wise words with Dani, Samantha feels guilty about a family event, and Nicole butts heads with Tyrell!

Joey Armstrong Doesn’t Do Anything for Free

Listen, if there’s one thing we know about Joey Armstrong, it’s that this man doesn’t make moves without a plan. On Wednesday’s Beyond the Gates, Joey makes a request… and it comes with a catch. Because OF COURSE it does. Joey didn’t build his casino empire by giving things away for free, and whatever he’s asking for on Wednesday clearly has some strings attached.

The question is: what does Joey want, and who is he asking? Tuesday’s spoilers had Vanessa running straight to Joey with a request of her own, so there’s a good chance this is connected. Is Joey agreeing to help Vanessa but demanding something in return? Is he making a power play that requires someone else’s cooperation? With Joey, it’s always a chess game, and everyone else is just trying to figure out which piece they are.

Write in to the editor at amber@soapoperamagazine.com and tell me: What do you think Joey’s catch is?

The Casino King Always Has an Angle

Jon Lindstrom plays Joey with this incredible balance of charm and cunning. You WANT to trust him. He seems like a good guy. And then he hits you with “oh, by the way, here’s the catch” and you remember that Joey Armstrong didn’t get where he is by being a pushover.

Joey has been dealing with a LOT lately. He’s been suspicious of Randy and Hayley’s scheming. He’s been navigating complicated relationships in Fairmont Crest. And he’s been running his casino while keeping an eye on everyone else’s business. The man has his fingers in every pie, which means when he makes a request, it’s usually part of a bigger picture that only he can see.

What kind of catch are we talking about? A favor to be named later? A business arrangement? Information he needs? With Joey, it could be anything. The fun is watching whoever he’s talking to decide whether the deal is worth it.

Ashley Reacts to Shanice’s News

In potentially messy news, Ashley Morgan has to react to something Shanice Johnson shares with her on Wednesday. The spoiler literally asks “How will Ashley react?” which means the writers KNOW this is going to be dramatic.

What is Shanice telling Ashley? These two have been in each other’s orbits lately, especially with Ted and Shanice’s flirtation heating up. Is Shanice confessing something about Ted? Sharing gossip about someone else? Dropping a bomb that changes everything? Whatever it is, Ashley’s reaction is apparently going to be noteworthy enough that the show is teasing it.

Vernon Drops Some Wisdom on Dani

In sweeter content, Vernon Dupree shares wise words with his daughter Dani on Wednesday. Vernon has been the steady patriarch of the Dupree family, and with Dani struggling with her feelings for her ex Bill while married to Andre, she probably needs some fatherly guidance right about now.

Clifton Davis always brings such warmth to Vernon, and his scenes with Karla Mosley are genuinely touching. Dani is caught between her past and her present, and Vernon is probably the best person to help her sort through those complicated emotions. Whether he tells her to follow her heart or stay committed to her marriage, his advice will carry weight.

Samantha’s Guilt and Nicole’s Clash

Samantha Richardson is feeling guilty about an upcoming family event on Wednesday. What event? And why is Samantha feeling guilty about it? Is she dreading something? Did she do something she regrets? The Dupree-Richardson clan has a big family event coming up, and Samantha’s guilt suggests there’s more going on beneath the surface.

Meanwhile, Nicole Dupree Richardson butts heads with Tyrell on Wednesday. Nicole has been going through it with her marriage to Ted falling apart and her attraction to Carlton growing stronger. Taking out her frustrations on Tyrell might not be fair, but family members often bear the brunt of our stress. Whatever they’re clashing about, it’s probably going to be tense.
