When the clock strikes on 2020, where will the characters of Salem, Port Charles, Los Angeles and Genoa City be in their lives? Who might they share a New Year’s Eve kiss with? What plans and resolutions do they have to make the new year better and badder than ever before?

On General Hospital, the highly-anticipated wedding of Nina and Valentin takes center stage. Will Nina go through with her plan for revenge now that she is armed with the truth of Valentin’s misdeeds? And… be on the lookout for another major surprise at the nuptials.

On The Young and the Restless, is the beginning of 2020 finally going to bring Adam and Chelsea back together and into each others arms? And, now that Billy is spiraling downward again; will his relationship with Victoria go completely south in favor of one with Amanda?

On Days of our Lives, “Stevano” reveals himself on New Year’s Eve, what will Kayla and Justin do next?  Will anyone find out what has happened to their beloved Steve? Meanwhile, Kristen’s days at the nunnery are over!  Look for her to fight for her man, Brady Black.

On The Bold and the Beautiful, Thomas has lured Zoe into his web, and even his sister, Steffy.  Will 2020 find Steffy and Liam back together again … and if so, will they remain so?  Will Hope fall for Thomas even after all the horrible acts he perpetrated on her in 2019?  And, what will happen to Brooke and Ridge; can they become a united loving couple once again?

Each of the four network soaps have released their New Year’s promo for the action next week.  You can check them out below.

Let us know what you are looking forward to seeing most in 2020 with your favorite soap couple and characters via the comment section below.

I don’t get Billy. Victoria is doing nothing but loving him. Why throw that and her away? He’s being a self centered jerk for no reason other than he feels like it.

Totally agree Molly. Billy is a man-child and it’s getting very tiring. He screws up and when it hits the fan for the millionth time, he tries to convince everyone that he realizes the error of his ways and expects them to forgive him. Victoria should move on, because he will never change. The character is damaged. Thompson and Heinle have so much chemistry and it’s ashame the writers aren’t doing more with it.

I agree with you Molly. I don’t know what the heck he is doing. And I don’t think he does either. Victoria can run a multi-million dollar company on her own, but she is totally blind when it comes to her home life. I really wish and hope they start showing more of the Baldwins. I am so sick of the same old faces and the same stories. I am sick and tired of listening to Chelsea whine about Connor to anyone who will listen. She will be in bed with Adam in due time, Nick and Phyllis will start rolling around together. And if Theo and Lola get together I am going to SCREAM. HE MAKES MY SKIN CRAWL. We need to see Kevin and Chole with Bella. And we we need to see more of Esther and Gloria bonding with Bella. Well, that’s about it. And don’t even get me started on Bold and Beautiful. Or I should say the show that revolves around Hope. Another time. Happy viewing everybody. And most importantly HAPP NEW YEAR

My wishes for the soap new year:
1. May Y&R writers stop giving 1/3 of each episode to those awful Connor/Adam/Chelsea scenes that are terribly written and just excruciating to watch. They spent half of the xmas episode on a whining 6-year-old and a stray cat in a box. Let’s hope this is rock-bottom.
2. May Y&R writers come up with some storyline ideas that haven’t been done to death already but don’t involve rewriting history to produce new one-note characters (hello Theo). May the show become watchable again in 2020. Hint: More Mariah and Amanda (sans Billy), less brooding Adam and self-pitying Phyllis, Nick & Kyle. And no more Billy narrating his stupid life.
3. May DAYS continue to throw us curveballs with the time jump and keep us on our toes. Hint: resist the urge to be the Chabby show.
4. May GH finally reveal some of the canvas-encompassing secrets. It’s time for the payoff! The reveals threaten to be anti-climactic by now but can still be saved. And may the writers please find better matches for Finn and Anna. The actors are too good to be playing a relationship with no chemistry.
5. May all 4 remaining soaps stay on the air! Life would be less fun without them!

NuAdam creeps me out. Chelsea has zero chemistry with anyone on the show. NuNina is growing on me. I love Valentin. Wish he would off the Parking Lot FLOP.

Billy’s a jerk off. Jason T is a good actor but this story doesn’t make sense and he looks like a horses ass. I hope it’s his alter otherwise he shouldn’t be forgiven. Victoria is a good person who is loving and kind to him too. Shadam have better chemistry than Chadam. And Billy and Amanda are flipping awful and have no chemistry no matter how hard they are trying to shove it down our throats.

Screw Billy. What an ass. Why can’t Billy and Victoria be happy for more than five minutes. This Amanda thing is so gross. All of Y&R is a mess and Josh Griffith is a sucky writer.

I agree, Kelsey. The show is a mess, turning likeable people into contemptible ones (Billy, for example). And don’t get me started on the Theo debacle. Glad Kevin and Chloe are back, but it looks like they’re turning them into dullards as well.

Billy/Amanda is nasty. Jason and Mishael have no chemistry.

I love Mishael Morgan but zero chemistry. They are disgusting and Billy is horrible now to watch with his depression and inner voice.

HAPPY NEW YEAR>>>AND AS BARBRA WALTERS WOULD SAY>>>THIS IS 2020!!!!

Happy New Year!!

Why in Hell’s name is GH running an old episode today? When you are running 3 or 4 episodes behind, due to ImOrangement and/or other news interruptions, there should be an immediate decision made to scrap the Helliday rerun episodes, and replace them with a new show.

At this rate, they will be celebrating New Years Evil in Port Charles right around St. Patrick’s Day.

My wish for 2020 is that Gabi on DAYS is thoroughly publicly punished for what she did to Julie, Lani and Eli. I want to see everything taken away from Gabi. I want to see Gabi have to publicly beg Julie and Lani not to have her sent back to prison for years.

Anne,
Amen, and Happy New Year! My wishes exactly. She’s been getting away with way too much, too often.When does she supposedly see her daughter? If she’s not making trouble, she’s screwing Eli. Oh, I can’t wait for him to find out what she’s done to his grandma.

My take on the soaps as a viewer not that my opinion means anything but here goes!! Bold and the Beautiful the Hope Show. Young and the Restless the Chelsea show. General Hospital back to the insane four Sonny Carly Jason and Sam show. Days of Our Lives no comment I have not watched in years . Here is hoping 2020 makes some constructive changes ! I feel very sad for the vets who helped make it #1 and if you are as frustrated as we are we all out here understand !

Young and the Restless had no where to go but down and I believe Sony wants it gone if not why have they not made changes positive ones to stop the bleeding of viewers

Kay,
You are right. I am so sick of every SL, especially what they have done to poor Conner. They better not turn the kid into a little psycho. I thought they might have him kill the poor kitten and claim that the voices or whatever told him to do it. That would be the end for me. The whole show is a mess as it is and quickly getting worse, i.e Billy and Amanda, Lola and Theo getting together, Phyllis throwing herself at anything in pants,especially Chance, who is way younger anyway. Sharon supposedly getting very sick. I repeat, can it get any worse?

In 2020 I would like to see a POST COMMENT TOPIC where viewers can provide storylines for their favorite show (i.e. Y and R.) Perhaps the writers might get some inspiration from longtime viewers who have sound suggestions for plots for specific characters. As many fans have voiced here for quite awhile, our must-watch shows are quickly becoming must-miss viewing.

Days Of Our Lives

DAYS Susan Seaforth Hayes on the Horton Home Set on Fire: “This Was the (Home of the Family) Matriarch and the Patriarch. And Then There’s Tom’s Chair. What Will happen to Dr. Tom’s Chair?”

Coming up on Days of our Lives, what has been teased months ago, will finally stream on the Peacock soap opera. The beloved and iconic Horton house is about to burn possibly to the ground, after it is set on fire on the Friday, February 9th episode.

The story will pick up starting on the Monday, February 12th episode, which will find Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes) and Chad (Billy Flynn) coming upon the scene as the living room is engulfed in flames.

As it will be revealed, a major vendetta against Chad, is the cause when viewers learn the the fire was no accident. In the major scenes, Doug (the late Bill Hayes, who was still taping episodes at DAYS several months before his passing), Julie, Chad and his kids, all go to safety outside and watch the iconic home burn.

Speaking with Soap Opera Digest, Susan Seaforth Hayes previewed the devastating moment and just how hard it hits Julie. “Everybody has come and gone and had experiences there,” Hayes begins. “This was the (home of the family’s) matriarch and the patriarch. And then there’s Tom’s chair. What will happen to Dr. Tom’s chair?”

Hayes adds there is a touching scene when everyone makes it to safety, “There’s a nice sequence outside the house watching the house burn.” She elaborates,”It looks quite hopeless. There are ashes, smoke and filth… It’s a sad heap.”

This will wind up being a rebuilding project for Julie and the Horton legacy, as Susan shared, “Julie’s take on it after is determination to not lose the sense of the house, to not lose what was there emotionally.”

Look for Maggie (Suzanne Rogers) to step up and provide temporary roof over the heads of her beloved friends and relatives.

Will you be sad to see the iconic Horton home set on fire? Did the set need a face-lift? Comment below.

Days of our Lives Drops Extended Promo: Nicole Baby Switch, Blake Berris Returns, The Pawn

Saturday marked Peacock’s annual Day of Days event in downtown Los Angeles, where fans from around the country and the around the globe, gathered to meet up close and personal many of the cast members from their favorite soap opera.

After the autograph signings, the outdoor Q&A and the press day, everyone waited with bated-breath to see the unveiling of the annual Days of our Lives extended winter promo which drops every year at this signature event.  The promo always includes storylines and bombshells that preview the action through the holiday season.

The 2023 version contained some shocking truths, a return, a baby switch and storyline from the past potentially being reignited and more.   As the promo unfolds, Konstantin (John Kapelos) and Theresa (Emily O’Brien) look to have evidence that Xander (Paul Telfer) is actually Victor’s son! In addition, Blake Berris (ex-Nick Fallon) is back at Days and from the looks of it is playing a new character, Everett, who has a past with both Jada (Elia Cantu) and Stephanie (Abigail Klein).

In one of the more unsettling story points, lives intersect as Nicole (Arianne Zucker) delivers her baby and somehow Leo (Greg Rikaart) is there to help her deliver after a car crash. However, Melinda (Tina Huang) and Sloan (Jessica Serfaty) conspire to make Nicole believe her baby died, while Sloan raises the little bundle of joy. How deep in the mix are Leo and Dimitri (Peter Porte) in this baby swap?

Later, John (Drake Hogestyn) who is having a drink and sitting beside Marlena (Deidre Hall) makes a remark and there is a flashback of the time when Steve (Stephen Nichols) found him as the “Pawn.” Is DAYS about to revisit this long ago classic story with a blast from the past?

Ava (Tamara Braun) is in trouble thanks to her being blackmailed by Clyde (James Read). Now it looks like Harris (Steve Burton) may be caught in some crossfire, and is potentially fatally shot.  Is Steve Burton exiting DAYS?  Someone else is murdered who has a connection to Gabi (Camila Banus) and Stefan (Brandon, but who is it? Plus, the promo contains a fiery ending.

Telfer expressed: “I saw some really gorgeous work from the acting troupe thoughout this difficult period. There are a lot of people who n ew John way longer than I did, so you can imagine how difficult it is for some of them. So playing out some of these scenes, obviously, you’re playing it as the character talking about Victor, but it’s almost impossible not to play it as Paul thinking it was John.”
