Trouble and New Beginnings in Genoa City

Elsewhere, Audra Charles is up to her old tricks, stirring up trouble for Sienna Bacall with surgical precision. Whatever Audra is plotting, Sienna is squarely in the crosshairs. In Genoa City, a scheme like this rarely stays contained.

Meanwhile, Phyllis Summers throws her weight behind Matt Clark as he tries to start a new chapter. Helping a man like Matt Clark is a gamble, and Phyllis has never been shy about rolling the dice. And while Jack Abbott fights for survival, an unlikely alliance quietly takes shape.

Who Makes It Out Standing?

The hook we cannot look away from is how far things spiral for Jack and Diane, and whether they survive what is closing in. Genoa City has rarely felt this dangerous.

Audra is targeting Sienna, and Phyllis is betting on Matt Clark’s fresh start, but the Abbotts are fighting for their lives. Bring your take to our Facebook page and tell us who makes it out standing.
