General Hospital Spoilers: A Badge & A Bombshell

A new badge walks into Port Charles. Detective Joe Fitzpatrick, played by Jonathan Bennett, debuts on Monday and his first act is putting handcuffs on one of Port Charles’s own. Casting news this hot does not arrive quietly. Somebody is about to be reading their rights.

Laura Collins delivers an update about Anna Devane, the kind of update that lands with weight when Anna is the subject. Josslyn Jacks makes a grim discovery, and a Joss grim discovery is never a paperwork issue.

Jordan Ashford presses Justine Turner about Sonny Corinthos, which means Jordan is leaning on Justine until something cracks. And Emma Scorpio-Drake opens up to Felicia Scorpio, a conversation Emma has been quietly needing. General Hospital spoilers are loaded.

Beyond the Gates Spoilers: A Cotillion & A Crisis

The Duprees get ready for Samantha Richardson‘s cotillion, the kind of multi-generational debutante event this family does bigger than anyone. Anita Dupree, Vernon Dupree, Nicole Dupree Richardson, Dani Dupree, and the next generation are about to be in one room in formalwear.

Ashley Morgan is in a panic as Grayson Perez prepares for the worst. After Friday’s life or death deadline, Grayson is now making the call that says he might not be walking out of this one.

Jacob Hawthorne meets with Ren Tolliver. Bill Hamilton questions Hayley Lawson about her past, the kind of question that does not get asked casually. And Lia Whitmore puts Derek Baldwin in the hot seat.

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: A Proposal & A Plea

Kristen DiMera turns to Xander Cook Kiriakis with a proposal, which is the kind of DiMera-to-Kiriakis crossover that ends with somebody making a deal they regret. Kristen does not knock on doors casually. She knocks when she needs something only Xander can do.

Brady Black goes out of his way for Sarah Horton, the kind of gesture that says a lot in Salem without saying it loud.

Gwen Rizczech vents to Leo Stark. Stephanie Johnson admits a hard truth to Alex Kiriakis, which after weeks of dancing around the Kelsey situation is finally Stephanie laying her cards on the table. And Chanel Dupree downplays her biopsy to Paulina Price, the kind of downplay that says everything about how Chanel handles the people who love her.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: A Question & A Quiet War

Victor Newman questions Nick Newman‘s judgment, which after Nick struck a dangerous deal on Friday is exactly the conversation Victor was always going to start. The patriarch handed tough love last week. Now he is asking out loud whether his son can be trusted with his own choices.

Adam Newman and Chelsea Lawson strategize against a rival, which is the kind of scheming these two used to do for sport before anybody asked them to play nice.

And Sharon Newman gives Phyllis Summers unsolicited advice, which between Sharon and Phyllis has never been a friendly errand. Young and the Restless spoilers are loaded.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: A Fallout & A New Face

Ridge Forrester seeks to mitigate the fallout from his decision, which is corporate speak for Ridge realizing the move he made on Friday detonated worse than he thought. The damage is real, and he is in scramble mode.

Steffy Forrester is caught off guard, because what her father did has consequences she did not see coming.

And Melissa Dylan urges Remy Pryce to respect her wishes, introducing a brand new face into Dylan’s world and making it clear Remy has been getting closer than she wants. Bold and the Beautiful spoilers are setting up next week’s shake-up.
