THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS Preview: Matt Clark’s Revenge Plot Begins; Which Duos Will Ring in 2026?
Next week, Y&R finishes off 2025 and rings in 2026 with some heavy duty drama and romantic entanglements which offer a glimpse of what viewers can expect in the New Year.
First, as previewed in the “Next week on Y&R” video teaser, Holden (Nathan Owens) asks Claire (Hayley Erin) if they could have a real date and ring in 2026 together. Claire coyly answers, “I think that could be arranged… under one condition.” The question is, what is the condition, and does it have to do with Audra (Zuleyka Silver)?
Before the clock strikes twelves, will Cane (Billy Flynn) and Lily (Christel Khalil) ring in the new year together? During a moment in the preview, Cane says, “I was just going to spend New Year’s Eve alone. There’s no one else I’d rather be with.” Can Lily get over herself and over what she saw between Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) and Cane, and truly spend some quality time with her ex-husband and the father of her children?

Then in a highly-tense moment, Nick (Joshua Morrow) has called a meeting with Matt Clark (Roger Howarth), who has snuck back into Genoa City. Nick says, “I was wondering if you had the guts to show up.” A smug Matt replies, “Oh, I wouldn’t miss this little party for all the world.”
But as the week begins, Noah (Lucas Adams) is concerned for Sienna’s (Tamara Braun) safety and whereabouts as Matt’s plan begins to reveal itself, and by week’s end, Tessa (Cait Fairbanks) and Daniel (Michael Graziadei) might just take their relationship to another level, while as previously reported Mariah (Camryn Grimes) is dealing with seeing visions of Ian Ward (Ray Wise).
Programming note: Y&R will air an encore presentation of a classic episode the originally aired September 10, 1998 which features iconic rivals, Katherine Chancellor (Jeanne Cooper) and Jill Foster Abbott (Jess Walton).

Then let us know, are you looking forward to what twisted revenge plot Matt has in store for the Newmans and his wife? Do you hope Lily and Cane and Holden and Claire ring in the new year together … and what about Daniel and Tessa? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.
The only show I’m looking forward to is the New Years Day episode from the 1990’s. Bill Bell knew how to write. Bill Bell’s scripts made sense. Ian Ward returns, who really cares.
I am rooting for Holden and Claire! I want Kyle and Claire to move on from each other.
Agreed
I would like to see Claire and Holden ring in the new year. I also would like Tessa and Mariah
to get back together

Sydney (Sydney Malekeh) is in for a shock when Dante (Franco LoPresti) arrives in Salem. Why is he in Salem? Is he part of the unraveling of the Dominic Marino mystery, since we know he seemed like he was talking to the man in Monte Carlo?
Will Marlena ever figure out what Rita (Maggie Carney) is hiding about the mystery of Dominic, and if Marlena is truly his birth mother or did something more suspicious go on and how deeply involved is Rita in this whole story?
EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) finally demands answers of his own from Rita after overhearing on today’s Cliffhanger Friday her conversation with Marlena. Will Rita cop to anything?
Then as noted, while everyone thinks Sophia took her own life, after Kristen “murdered” her, Kristen is infuriated to find she is somehow alive working as waitress in a diner in Kentucky. Will Kristen try to kill Sophia yet again?

Why is he back in Salem? To get at Philip, or something else? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL Preview: Katie Wants Dylan to Sway Zende, Carter Puts Unrelenting Pressure on Steffy

Next week on The Bold and the Beautiful, official spoilers and the video teaser for episodes airing September 28 through October 2, have Katie (Heather Tom) making it clear she wants Dylan (Sydney Bullock) to prove herself to her by helping lure Zende Forrester (Delon de Metz) over to her fashion house Logan.
If Katie is successful, she would have yet another acquisition from Forrester Creations which would continue to fuel the rivalry between herself and her sister, Brooke Logan Forrester (Katherine Kelly Lang),
In the video preview, Katie informs Hope (Annika Noelle), “Dylan has been tasked with talking to Zende, and if she wants any kind of acceptance from me, she’d better come through.” Is Hope getting leery of Katie’s machinations, or would she like to see Zende get a chance at showcasing his talents, something he had not been able to do of late at Forrester? If Dylan comes through for Katie, will she accept her son, Will’s (Crew Morrow) relationship with the young woman? Stay tuned.

GUESS WHO THE SURROGATE IS RIDGE?
Meanwhile, Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) informs Brooke and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) that she and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) have found someone to be their donor and surrogate adding that said woman is “remarkable.” But, how would Ridge feel when he learns it’s his daughter, Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), who would be the woman giving the couple a child they so desperately want?
What Ridge and Brooke don’t know is that Steffy is already pregnant from her drunken night with Carter, and through Carter’s unrelenting pressure, he wants her to give up the baby she is carrying and give it to Daphne and him to raise as their own.
COERCION CITY
Finn (Tanner Novlan) has already told Steffy she should not be Daphne and Carter’s surrogate, when she tried to broach the lie to her husband. Now, he is out of town at a medical conference, when Carter stops by at the cliff house and Steffy addresses her concerns.
Carter fires back, “We have to do this now, Steffy! We don’t have time!” What will Steffy ultimately do? Go along with Carter’s plan, knowing she feels it’s wrong and wrong for her? Time will tell!

General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Secrets Exposed!

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, official spoilers, and the latest teaser video, indicate that the truth is about to come out on many fronts which could put several Port Charles residents in harm’s way, but who will double-cross whom?
First, Nina has been carted away by the WSB, after she is the prime suspect in the disappearance and possible murder of Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). Now it appears that her daughter Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) is willing to do anything to find her mother. (probably for fear she will somehow implicate Willow!)
Ava (Maura West) meets with Willow at the Metro Court Gardens and informs her, “If Nina is being framed. I may know by whom.” Would Ava risk the ire of Drew (Cameron Mathison), if she throw’s him under the bus and admits he planted Jack’s wallet in Nina’s car, or is she about to accuse someone else to protect him?
Meanwhile, Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Justine’s (Nazneen Contractor) romance is about to become public, or at least fall into the wrong hands! The two are being spied on while making out in a dark location thinking they are alone. Next, Ava’s voice is heard saying, He had to go down!” Is she talking about Sonny who she had teamed with Drew to take down? Cut to Sonny telling Ric (Rick Hearst) “Let ’em try.”
Finally, the action turns to Pentonville, where Curtis (Donnell Turner) is in a dangerous situation, when outside his cell, another inmate suggests to him, “Find a reason not to be in your cell after lunch.” Later, that man and two others, enter the cell as Sidwell (Carlo Rota) just reads a book, as he looks concerned as the men encircle him. Does Curtis come to the rescue of Sidwell? Stay tuned.
