TODAY ON DAYTIME – Tuesday, September 29 Spoilers: A Showdown Between Sworn Enemies, A Confession That Floors a Patriarch, and A Grand Gesture With Strings Attached

SPOILERS SERVE SHOWDOWNS, BOMBSHELLS, AND GESTURES WITH STRINGS

Tuesday’s spoilers hand the men the spotlight: two Days of Our Lives rivals finally go toe to toe, a Beyond the Gates patriarch is left speechless, a General Hospital detective’s gut proves right, a Young and the Restless mogul rolls out the red carpet for his wife, and a Bold and the Beautiful dad tries his hand at peacemaking. Here’s what’s coming.

Days of Our Lives Spoilers

Xander Kiriakis faces off against EJ DiMera, and with doctored files framing Sarah Horton for a patient’s death, Xander’s promise to step up for her is about to get very loud. EJ has spent weeks acting like the smartest man in Salem. Xander has spent a lifetime being underestimated, and that’s usually when he’s at his most dangerous.

Over at DiMera, Johnny DiMera sets out to make things right, a tall order for a CEO who’s been covering for his father while his honest co-CEO, Theo Carver, walked out the door. Johnny already laughed in EJ’s face once, and Tuesday’s spoilers suggest he’s done laughing and ready to act. Meanwhile, Philip Kiriakis and Leo Stark formulate a plan, a pairing that’s either inspired or a catastrophe with a podcast mic attached.

The women of Salem are scheming too. Cat Greene fills Rafe Hernandez in on her risky plan, and since EJ already suspects her ISA days never really ended, any move she makes is a high-wire act with no net. And Chanel Dupreepresents Gabi DiMera with a proposal that could mean anything from a business deal to a declaration of war.

Beyond the Gates Spoilers

Andre Richardson leaves Vernon Dupree stunned, and considering how much Andre has been keeping from his wife about a certain blast from his London past, the former senator may not love what he’s hearing. Vernon built Fairmont Crest on knowing everyone’s business. Being the last to know is not a feeling he wears well.

The poisoned-tea scandal gets physical, too. Chelsea Hamilton and Hayley Lawson come to blows, and after learning her stepmother spent months dosing her father, Bill Hamilton, with a stealth toxin, Chelsea has been itching for this. Somebody grab the Vaseline and the security footage.

Dani Dupree leans on her sister Nicole Dupree Richardson for comfort, while Anita Dupree becomes an unlikely advocate. And Leslie Thomas is met with an intriguing invitation and an altercation in the same breath, which tends to happen when you bail out an accused poisoner and call it supporting “women’s wrongs.”

General Hospital Spoilers

Dante Falconeri has his suspicions confirmed. The detective’s gut has been working overtime lately, and when a cop’s hunch pans out in Port Charles, somebody usually ends up wishing it hadn’t.

Jason Morgan supports Danny Morgan, who needs his dad more than ever now that Charlotte Cassadine‘s parents are shipping his best friend off to boarding school. Jason has already admitted he sees a lot of his younger self in his son, which is either very reassuring or very worrying, depending on how you remember young Jason.

Elsewhere, Britt Westbourne makes a bold declaration, and Jordan Ashford confides in Michael Corinthos about the estranged younger sister who blew into town firing insults. That sister, Monet, courts a new client, and an attorney with an axe to grind is the most dangerous kind of lawyer there is.

Young and the Restless Spoilers

Victor Newman surprises Nikki Newman with a grand gesture, which is lovely, assuming it has nothing to do with the Vibrante launch he swore to keep his hands off. The Mustache does romance beautifully. He also does ulterior motives beautifully.

Jack Abbott offers support to Nick Newman, who had already been planning to ask Jack to be his sponsor. It’s the kind of Abbott-Newman alliance that doesn’t come around often, so enjoy it while it lasts.

And Christine Blair counsels Daniel Romalotti, who could use a level head in his corner after his mother, Phyllis Summers, wondered aloud whether anyone would miss her if she ran off with Matt Clark. Christine has never been shy about calling things the way she sees them.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers

Ridge Forrester encourages Brooke Logan to reach out to Hope Logan, a surprisingly diplomatic move from a man whose default setting is a grunt. With Hope thriving at Katie Logan‘s company and the Logan sisters barely on speaking terms, Brooke has a whole lot of pride to swallow.

Meanwhile, Zende Forrester Dominguez receives surprising encouragement. Ridge told him to forget Hope and focus on his future, but Katie has already drafted Melissa Dylan to do some recruiting, so the pep talk may come from the last camp Ridge would want.
