General Hospital Spoilers: A Summons & A Showdown

Britt Westbourne has new reason to worry, which means whatever Britt decided on Wednesday is about to detonate. Lulu Spencer prepares to make her move, the kind of Lulu move that always ends with someone confessing or someone running.

Alexis Davis wants answers, and a lawyer Alexis wanting answers usually means a deposition is coming. And Ethan Lovett pays a visit to Tracy Quartermaine, the kind of cross-family Port Charles meeting you don’t walk into without scoping the exits first. General Hospital spoilers are loaded.

Ashley Morgan and Naomi Hamilton Hawthorne are shell shocked, the kind of paralysis that follows the cotillion fallout and the body that came out of it. Two Hawthorne women trying to process what just happened.

Elon Hawthorne makes demands of Joey Armstrong, the kind of demand list that comes with a deadline.

Donnell McBride has some tough questions for Vanessa McBride. Marcel Malone questions a perp, and a Marcel interrogation is never a casual conversation.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: An Alliance & An Arrival

Victor Newman and Nikki Newman put their differences aside to help Nick Newman, which after Victoria called her brother out on Wednesday is finally the Newman family rallying around the son who needs them most. The patriarch and matriarch sitting at the same table for the same kid is a moment that does not happen every season.

Lily Winters and Holden Novak arrive in New York, the trip that takes Holden home to his father and takes Lily into territory no Y&R Genoa City regular gets to see often.

And Jack Abbott has a change of heart about Patty Williams, which after Patty teamed up with Matt Clark this week is exactly the U-turn Jack was always going to make. Young and the Restless spoilers are loaded.

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: A Visit & A Verdict

Paulina Price visits Lexie Carver, and a Paulina visit after Lexie demanded a meeting on Tuesday is the kind of audience-of-two Salem has been waiting on. Whatever is said in that room is not staying there long.

Theo Carver urges Abe Carver to stop avoiding a decision, the kind of son-pushing-father moment that says Theo has finally lost patience with whatever Abe has been ducking.

Anna DiMera gets frustrated with Tony DiMera. Philip Kiriakis shares the truth with Gabi DiMera. And Xander Cook Kiriakis makes a suggestion to Gwen Rizczech, which after Gwen vented to Leo on Monday is finally Xander putting his cards on the same table.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: A Showdown & A Secret

Tensions rise as Hope Logan demands answers from Steffy Forrester, the Logan-versus-Forrester showdown that was building from the second Ridge made his decision on Friday. Hope wants the truth. Steffy is not in a giving mood.

And Electra Forrester learns a shocking truth, the kind of revelation that lands on a young Forrester and rewires everything she thought she knew about her family. Bold and the Beautiful spoilers are kicking the door down before the weekend.

Daytime Pulls the Last Curtain

Five shows. One day. A detective dragging the ghost of a Port Charles confession into the daylight. Two Hawthorne women paralyzed by what they cannot undo. A Newman patriarch and matriarch back in the same trench for the kid they both love. A Salem visit nobody was sure would ever happen. A Logan demanding the answer a Forrester does not want to give.
