THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Phyllis Remembers Sharon Was Not Who Ran Her Off the Road; Ian and Jordan have Plans for the Two Rivals
Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) and Sharon (Sharon Case) have both become unsuspecting victims in Ian Ward (Ray Wise) and Jordan Howard’s (Colleen Zenk) latest plot for revenge. On New Year’s, while Phyllis is driving, she has flashes of the truck that ran her off the road when she careened into a tree. =She realizes it wasn’t Sharon.
Later, she tells her children, Daniel (Michael Graziadei) and Summer (Allison Lanier), that she saw an older woman with wavy hair and glasses (Jordan anyone?). Summer says they need to tell Chance (Conner Floyd). Phyllis says she won’t hold Sharon accountable for the car crash, but she won’t let her off the hook for framing Daniel for the death of Heather Stevens.
Meanwhile, Tessa (Cait Fairbanks), Mariah (Camryn Grimes), Faith (Reylynn Caster) and Nick (Joshua Morrow) are reeling from seeing Ian Ward outside of Society. After Nick calls the cops, the policewoman tells him that Ian’s story checks out and he is out of prison. Nick is infuriated when Ian goes on about being a man of faith. The cop says Ian’s story check out as the prison chaplain. She says there is nothing she can do and walks away from the scene.

Ian tells Nick that he is determined to prove that he has been redeemed. A completely distrustful Nick tells Ian that if he does anything to cause anyone he loves distress, he will make him wish he was never born. Once back inside Society, Nick wonders if Ian could be the one who doctored Sharon’s meds. Everyone becomes alarmed that they haven’t heard from Sharon, but Faith insists they go to the tact house to get her to join them, so Nick goes with them. When talking with Tessa, Mariah realizes that Ian is back for her and she will fight to keep her family and their daughter, safe.

Nick and Faith realize Sharon is not at home, which sends them into a frenzy. Nick fills Victor (Eric Braeden) in about Ian. Meanwhile, Ian returns to the his motel room with Jordan. He is happy to see Sharon bound and gagged and chloroformed on the bed. Ian has plan to kill Sharon and frame Phyllis for her death. Ian wants to dump Sharon over the bridge, just like Sharon did to Heather as “poetic justice.”

Jordan wants to get to her part of their agreement to go after Claire (Hayley Erin) and the Newmans. Beginning to feel she is being played, Ian manipulates her by stating his warped plan that Sharon’s death will leave Mariah inconsolable. The only thing that will help her during her grief is the love of a parent. He plans to be that father figure. Ian tells Jordan that him winning over Mariah will give them an entree to get close to Claire.
So, do you think any part of Jordan and Ian’s plot will work? Share your thoughts on the next leg of this story via the comment section below.
I don’t get this revenge plot. If it’s criss/cross, then Ian should have went after Claire and Jordan after the Newmans. Jordan didn’t think this one through. Ian’s going to double cross her big time!Lew
I’ll be so glad when this part with Ian and Claire’s aunt is over and done with and please , please DO NOT BRING THEM BACK INTO THE SOAP ANYMORE!! PLEASE.
Also, Where is Elaina???? You bring her back on the soap and we’ve only seen her two or three times!!! What was the point in that if you’re not going to show her like you should??? Also, Devon and Abby? That should’ve never happened that definitely needs to change as well. Never was a good/great match from the beginning. Especially now that she’s not going to be on as much anymore. So, put Elaina back with him (Devon) and definitely leave Nate and Audra together they make a good couple. So does Nick and Sharon,Billy and Chelsea or Phyllis and last ,but not least put Adam and Sally back together as well. The saying “change is good” is a definite must with this soap starting with Ian and Claire’s aunt following by Devon and Abby splitting up and you know the rest.
Only watch Y&R. Ian and Jordan are too dark for me. Hope this storyline has a fast finish. The new designer is evident. Looks like the new Newman mansion has been cleaned up a bit. Nikki appears a new woman. Victor’s inordinate interest in all of his family is uncomfortable bordering on most unhealthy. Never liked how the various businesses were pulled in and out shifting in employees, however, I record and truly enjoy most when I get to catch up.
Will this happen this year 2025 or will that happen on Christmas Day 2026, sometimes things go on for months and months, I have dementia so I can watch it 55 times. Get on with it. GEEZE
General Hospital
Could Kristen Vaganos and Josh Kelly Be Exiting ‘General Hospital?’

General Hospital fans took to social media following the airing of the Wednesday, October 21 episode of the ABC daytime drama series. In story, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) reveals to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) that she has received an offer to join the top law firm in Chicago that practices civil law. She says it’s her dream job.
The problem Molly says is relocating from Port Charles and uprooting her life and being away from her mother, Scout and boyfriend Cody Bell (Josh Kelly). Wistful that she may lose another daughter to a long-distance situation (Kristina left a few months back to go to medical school in California), Alexis urged Molly to get Cody to go with her.
Molly still seemed concerned and has trouble committing to the idea. Alexis tells her to talk it over with Cody. Meanwhile, Cody asked Tracy (Jane Elliot) is he can have Thanksgiving off because he and Molly planned to spend Thanksgiving together with their families. After initially balking, Tracy agrees.

WILL MOLLY AND CODY HEAD TO CHI-TOWN?
Later, Cody shows up at Miller & Davis and the conversation turned to Thanksgiving dinner that Alexis is hosting. Molly and Cody asked her not to cook anything. Cody hugged Molly reassuring Alexis that he and Molly would take care of whatever was needed on Turkey Day.
So, this raises the question, why out of nowhere are we learning that Molly received an amazing law offer in Chicago, if the character was not being written out? If Molly leaves the canvas, would the character of Cody make his exit too?
Kristen Vaganos joined GH as a recast Molly Lansing-Davis back in September of 2023 and went on contract in August of 2024. Josh Kelly began playing Cody Bell back in June of 2022. Initial reports were that Kelly joined the show on contract and then as of June 2025 went on recurring status with the show per his choice.
Do you see a world where GH is writing out Molly and Cody? Would you be sad to see Kristen and Josh exit the soap opera? If this is not what is going on, is this just a plot point for some other story that is upcoming? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Adam Delivers Sally’s Baby as Billy Reels from Jill’s Health Crisis in Tearjerker Episode

The Tuesday, October 20 episode saw The Young and the Restless deliver some deeply-poignant moments in the aftermath of Billy (Jason Thompson) and Sally’s (Courtney Hope) wedding.
The scenes which will be talked about for some time to come, because of how they can impact longterm story, had Adam (Mark Grossman) being the one to deliver Billy and Sally’s baby, while Billy was gut-punched by a phone call from Snapper Foster that Jill had suffered a heart attack in London.
In story, while up in Sally’s room at the GCAC, wishing his ex all the happiness, (because Adam and Billy have no love lost, and he didn’t want to cause waves), Sally’s water broke. In true soapy fashion, all phones were dead. Sally’s phone was missing because it was with Audra (Zuleyka Silver), Adam’s battery ran out etc. Prior to that, Adam did try to call Billy, but Billy did not pick up his calls, as he was with Cane (Billy Flynn) coming to terms with the news on Jill.

TORN BETWEEN RUNNING TO HIS MOTHER OR HIS NEW WIFE AND BABY
Now in the perfect storm of circumstances, Adam is the one to help Sally deliver her baby when she begged him to stay with er screaming, “Please don’t make me do this alone!” Adam reminded Sally that he’d already delivered a baby twice before. She assured him that it will be OK, and not to be scared, because this isn’t the same set of circumstances when she lost their daughter, Ava, during childbirth.
Downstairs, Billy is in tears over his mother. So too is Cane. Cane speaks to Jill on the phone when Snapper holds the phone to her while at her hospital bed. He tells her he loves her. Billy cannot bring himself to talk to his mom.
Cane decides he will go to London. Billy doesn’t know what to do with a new wife and a baby on the way. It’s clear how much losing Jill would devastate Billy. Cane tells Lily (Christel Khalil) what has happened to Jill, and Billy informs Jack (Peter Bergman) before he tries to find his bride who is upstairs in her room.

A NEW ABBOTT
Back in Sally’s room, eventually Adam asks Sally (who is deep in labor), if she thought she was having a girl or boy, and she said a boy. But then, Adam introduced her to her “beautiful, perfect baby girl.” It was a moment laced with so much history for Adam and Sally and Adam and Billy, when you think of the deaths of Ava and Deliah.
As Sally cradled her newborn little bundle of joy, Adam went to go get Billy at her request, and as he made his way to the door, Billy was standing there. Billy is stunned to see his rival standing, but then Sally tells Billy to meet his daughter!
Billy rushes to the bedside to be my his new wife and daughter, with the heartbreaking final shot of Adam emotionally overcome thinking of the baby he has lost with Sally. and how he wishes things could have turned out differently in a bittersweet moment.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Finn Blows a Gasket After Steffy Reveals She’s Gone Ahead and Become Carter and Daphne’s Surrogate

On the Monday, October 19 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, after Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) stammering around and trying to find a way to couch her lie to her husband, Finn (Tanner Novlan), she finally admits what she has been dreading telling him.
But not before, Finn and Steffy rehash Monaco, Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown), and how it was turning point in their lives (that’s an understatement) with Finn reiterating, “Our marriage is precious. What we have is pure and true.”
Finn promises Sheila is out of their lives for good, and Steffy chokes back tears saying how she wished she hadn’t removed her ring and hightailed it out of Monaco. She says she wishes she could take that back, but she can’t.

Steffy tells Finn she has a lot to say. Finn tells her there is nothing they can’t overcome. Steffy says she made a significant decision while he was away. She goes to to say what a great friend Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) has been to her. Finn asks if Daphne and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) are still interviewing to find a surrogate? Steffy says they found someone and the process has begun, and its “me.”
Finn gulps, “What do you mean it’s you?” Steffy eeks out of her mouth, “I agreed to be Daphne and Carter’s surrogate.” Finn, who is a doctor no less says, “I don’t understand!” He explains he knows there is a list of medical and legal hurdles someone has to go through before a woman can become a surrogate for a couple. He also tells Steffy he knows she could never carry a child and give it up.
Next, Finn tells Steffy she’s wonderful for considering to do this for Carter and Daphne, but she’ll have to tell them no. Steffy says it’s too late. That while he was out of town they went ahead with the procedure. Finn asks, “What procedure?” Steffy responds, “The fertilization of the eggs.” Finn learns they used Steffy’s frozen eggs and did the implantation and loses it!
“I can’t believe you went and did that! This isn’t something a wife does when their husband is out of town on a business trip,” hollers Finn. He cannot believe what he is hearing and that his wife just went and did this without him! He pushes back on Steffy. demanding answers, “There’s more going on here. What is it? Steffy? Tell me!” We fade to black.
You can check out the pivotal scene between Finn and Steffy below.
Now weigh-in: are you glad Finn is as of now not being a doofus? That he is pushy back on Steffy? Do you think Steffy will continue with this lie or admit she slept with Carter and became pregnant? Either way, would Finn stay with his wife while she became a surrogate for Carter and Daphne? Let us know in the comment section.
