TODAY ON DAYTIME THURSDAY, MAY 7: A Killer Walks Back Into His Old Town, a CEO Gets Warned About Her Choices, and a Dangerous Trap Snaps Shut

THURSDAY, MAY 7 BRINGS FIVE DAYTIME SHOWS AND ONE OF THE LOUDEST HOURS OF THE WEEK

TL;DR: Thursday, May 7 lands across five daytime soaps with Matt Clark resurfacing in Genoa City on The Young and the Restless, Carter Walton warning Ridge Forrester and Steffy Forrester about the consequences of their actions on The Bold and the Beautiful, Carly Spencer getting alarming news on General Hospital, Roman Brady pressing Kate Roberts for the truth on Days of Our Lives, and Jacob Hayes worrying about a dangerous trap on Beyond the Gates. Five shows. One Thursday. Buckle up.

The Young and the Restless: Matt Clark Walks Back Into Genoa City

The biggest hit of Thursday lands on Y&R, and it lands in the worst possible spot for Sienna Bacall. Matt Clarkresurfaces in Genoa City. The man Sienna swore she killed with a rock in the desert is alive, has his memory back, and is on Sharon Newman’s doorstep. The body Sharon wanted to confirm does not exist because the body never died, and the woman who has been sleeping next to Noah Newman is about to find out her cover story has a face and a heartbeat attached to it.

Cane Ashby makes a promise to Lily Winters. Whatever the DA decides about the bone marrow surgery, Cane is going to give Lily a vow she can hold onto, and Malcolm’s life is going to depend on whether Cane can keep it. Phyllis Summers is troubled by Nick Newman‘s behavior, which makes sense because the youngest Newman son just confessed an opioid addiction to his mother and the rumor mill in Genoa City is about to do its work.

The Bold and the Beautiful: Carter Walton Warns the CEOs and Hope Logan Pushes Brooke Logan to Fight

Carter Walton walks into the executive suite Thursday and warns Ridge Forrester and Steffy Forrester about the consequences of their actions. The COO has been the voice of reason in this building for months, and Thursday is the day he tells the people running it that the choices they have made are about to cost them. The “or what” Steffy threw at Hope Logan earlier this week is going to come back with a bill, and Carter is the man delivering the invoice.

Meanwhile, Hope encourages Brooke Logan to fight for what she deserves at Forrester Creations. The daughter who is currently being recruited by Logan turns to her mother and tells her to demand a seat at the Forrester table. The pivot is going to land like a brick on Brooke’s relationship with Ridge, because Ridge is the man Hope is asking her mother to fight against, and the marriage is already on thinning ice.

General Hospital: Carly Spencer Gets Alarming News and Valentin Cassadine Makes Contact With Nina Reeves

Carly Spencer is about to get alarming news. After spending the last week holding Jack Brennan at gunpoint, exposing a WSB recruitment, and burning her own engagement to the ground, Carly is about to find out something that lands harder than the standoff. The list of things that could alarm her is short. The list of things that involve Josslyn or Sonny is shorter. Either way, Thursday is the day Carly’s careful plan starts to come apart.

Valentin Cassadine makes contact with Nina Reeves. The fugitive who has been telegraphing his next move all week is now reaching out to the woman who shares a daughter with him, and the conversation is going to put Nina in a position she cannot walk away from. Willow Tait is confident in her plan. Trina Robinson and Gio Palmieri make a pact. Molly Lansing-Davis is suspicious. Port Charles is full of secrets crashing into each other, and Thursday is the day the dominoes start to fall.

Days of Our Lives: Roman Brady Presses Kate Roberts for the Truth

Roman Brady presses Kate Roberts for the truth. The patriarch who told Kate to keep her distance earlier this week is now demanding she explain herself, and whatever Kate is hiding is about to spill onto the floor of the Brady Pub.

Stephanie Johnson vents to Jada Hunter about Alex Kiriakis and Joy’s baby. Alex Kiriakis and Justin Kiriakis bond over fatherhood. Gabi Hernandez and Ari Horton clash. Johnny DiMera comforts Chanel Dupree. Salem is loaded.

Beyond the Gates: A Dangerous Trap Snaps Shut and a Business Proposition Lands

Jacob Hayes worries that a dangerous trap has been set. The youngest Hayes is sensing what nobody else in his family seems willing to admit, and Thursday is the day his instincts get confirmed. The Hayes family is sitting on a Lynette-shaped bomb, and the trap Jacob senses is the one Hayley Lawson has been quietly setting from inside the house.

Vanessa Dupree has a business proposition for Hayley Lawson. The Dupree-Hayes business orbit is about to collide in a way nobody can untangle. Kat Richardson challenges Bill Hayes. Joey Armstrong assigns Randy an urgent task. The Fairmont Crest cul-de-sac is about to feel a lot smaller.
