TODAY ON DAYTIME FRIDAY, MAY 8: A Mob Boss Goes Nuclear, a DiMera Will Reading Detonates Salem, and a Sister Watches Her Sibling Burn the Family Down

FRIDAY, MAY 8 BRINGS ALL FIVE DAYTIME SHOWS AND ONE OF THE LOUDEST FINALES OF THE WEEK

TL;DR: Friday, May 8 lands across five daytime soaps with Sonny Corinthos taking extreme measures on General Hospital, EJ DiMera preparing for the reading of Stefano DiMera’s will on Days of Our Lives, Donna Logan worried Katie Logan is destroying the family on The Bold and the Beautiful, Nick Newman revealing a secret to Victoria Newman on The Young and the Restless, and Grayson making a life-changing deal on Beyond the Gates. Five shows. One Friday. Buckle up.

General Hospital: Sonny Corinthos Goes Nuclear and Dante Falconeri Is Flabbergasted

The biggest hit of Friday lands on GH, and it lands on Sonny Corinthos. Sonny takes extreme measures, and “extreme” from a man who has spent three decades running Port Charles is the kind of measure that ends careers, marriages, and lives. Whatever Sonny decides Friday morning is going to detonate by Friday afternoon, and the man at the receiving end of the blast is going to be the one who lied to him about a meeting at the DA’s office.

Carly Spencer makes an announcement that has the entire city listening. After spending the week holding Jack Brennanat gunpoint and exposing the WSB recruitment of her own daughter, Carly is now stepping forward with something the public is about to react to. Dante Falconeri is flabbergasted by something Friday delivers, and the man holding the vial of Cullum’s blood does not flabbergast easily. Cassius puts pressure on Lulu Spencer. Felicia Jones supports Lucas Jones.

Days of Our Lives: The Reading of Stefano DiMera’s Will Is Finally Here

The DiMera mansion is about to host the loudest legacy moment Salem has staged in years. EJ DiMera prepares for the reading of Stefano DiMera‘s will. Whatever the patriarch left behind is about to land on a family already ripping itself apart over Sophia Choi‘s death, Kristen DiMera‘s confession, and the return of Lexie Carver. The DiMeras have been waiting decades for this moment. The bombs in that will are about to set off chain reactions across every storyline on the canvas.

Kristen and Marlena Evans have a run-in about Rachel. Leo Stark offers to cover for Cat Greene. Gabi Hernandezmakes a bold claim. Chad DiMera reassures Theo Carver. The Salem tapestry is woven so tight Friday that one pulled thread is going to unravel five families at once.

The Bold and the Beautiful: Donna Logan Is Watching Katie Logan Burn the Family Down

Donna Logan is worried that Katie Logan is destroying the Logan family, and Donna is the woman who has been the peacekeeper between her sisters for thirty years. If Donna is worried, the family is in real trouble. Katie has been campaigning to poach Hope Logan from Forrester Creations. The defection is going to put Brooke in a position no peacemaking sister can rescue her from, and Donna is the one who has to watch the Logan sisterhood implode in real time.

Steffy Forrester becomes more frustrated with Hope and her line. The “or what” cliffhanger from earlier this week is about to get its second act, and Steffy is in no mood to extend olive branches to a designer who is one foot out the door already. The Logan-Forrester war is escalating from cold to hot, and Friday is the day the temperature spikes.

The Young and the Restless: Nick Newman Drops a Secret on Victoria Newman

Nick Newman reveals a secret to Victoria Newman. The Newman siblings have spent the week watching their parents’ marriage detonate over Patty Williams, watching Phyllis get arrested, watching Cane Ashby get hauled out in cuffs, and watching their entire empire shake. Whatever Nick has been holding onto is about to land on his sister, and Victoria is the wrong Newman to keep secrets from. The secret is the bomb. Friday is the detonator.

Lauren Fenmore gives Phyllis Summers a warning. The woman who has been Phyllis’ ride-or-die since the dawn of Genoa City is about to tell her something she does not want to hear. Chelsea Lawson questions Adam Newman about Riza. The Vegas storyline is creeping into Genoa City and Friday is the day Chelsea pulls on the thread.

Beyond the Gates: Grayson Richardson Makes a Life-Changing Deal

Grayson Richardson makes a life-changing deal. The Richardson family has been navigating a very dangerous week and Grayson is about to make the call that defines the next year of his life. Whatever the deal is, it is going to ripple across the Fairmont Crest cul-de-sac in ways nobody is prepared for.

Smitty learns critical intel. Dani Dupree and Andre Richardson‘s imaginations run wild. Ted Lawson and Shanice Dupree continue to clash over Leslie. Nicole and Carlton run into special guest Sunny Anderson. The cul-de-sac is loaded.

The Verdict on Friday

Five shows. One mob boss going nuclear. One legendary patriarch’s will reading. One family watching itself implode. One Newman secret about to land. One life-changing deal.
