For “Villains Week” on Y&R, here’s what to look for:

Wednesday, May 27, Stephanie (Flannery) is angry with Ann (Betty White) when she finds out she isn’t looking for her own house.

Friday, May 29, after his meeting with Bob Barker (Barker, playing himself), Liam (Clifton) interrupts a contentious exchange with his brother, Wyatt (Darin Brooks).

Just shy of his 90th birthday, Barker did not use a stunt double. The episode originally aired August 28, 2014.
So, which of these episodes from Y&R and B&B are you most looking forward to seeing? And what villain and celebrity floats your boat the most from the appearances in next week’s encore presentation? Comment below.
Not interested in some of the B&B episodes. I wish they’d do a Sally Spectra (Darlene Conley) week or a slapped by Stephanie week. 🙂
For Y&R, I want a Baldwin-Fisher week. The end of yesterday’s episode had me hooked. I want to see the next episode. It’s a been a long time since Y&*R gripped me like that.
Glaring omissions from the Y&R Villains Week —- An episode with Vanessa Prentess, Suzanne Lynch, or Rose DeVille. I know that you can’t fit an episode of every Y&R villain in only 5 days. However, these characters and several others (Shawn Garrett; Cameron Kirsten, to name just two) were far more noteworthy (and better written) than Ryder, the poorly created son of Sheila Carter.
Barbara I agree with you 100%. Let’s show more of the good old days of Y&R, like you said Vanessa Prentess, what a witch, lol…Oh my I forgot about Suzanne Lynch…Rose DeVille, mean, lol

THIS WEEK on GENERAL HOSPITAL: Dex and Josslyn’s Relationship at a Crossroad, Jason Contacts Diane For Help
Previews for the week of March 18-22nd on General Hospital, plus the latest promo for the daytime drama series, share that Jason’s (Steve Burton) return has already affected so many lives, especially given the fact that several key people aka Michael (Chad Duell), Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) and Danny (Asher Antonyzn) know his location at this moment.
Eventually, Jason (Steve Burton) will get in touch with Diane (Carolyn Hennesy), from what one can only assume is legal help. However, John (Adam J. Harrington) seems hot on Jason’s trail, but the question remains, if Jason was working for John as seemingly revealed in a flashback to keep out of prison, are the two working together … or are they mortal enemies?
Meanwhile, it looks like its curtain for now in the relationship between Dex (Evan Hofer) and Josslyn (Eden McCoy). After Nina (Cynthia Watros) dropped a bombshell about Cyrus (Jeff Kober), Joss gets an earful of information from Dex, when he admits that he was in Cyrus’s hospital room to kill him on orders from Sonny (Maurice Benard).
According to Soap Opera Digest, Eden McCoy shared, ” I think what’s different about this situation, and what pushes her over the edge, is that it wasn’t, like, a self-defense situation. It wasn’t at a shoot-out. He wasn’t protecting Sonny. Cyrus wasn’t doing anything! And I think that really scares her, to see him in the light of voluntarily killing someone in their sleep. That is very different from, like, shooting someone that’s shooting at Sonny. She is just in shock, like she can’t actually believe it.” As told by McCoy, “At that point, Josslyn says.’I can’t do this anymore,’ and makes her exit.”
Take a look below at the rest of the official teasers for the week.
MONDAY, MARCH 18
Dex makes a confession to Josslyn. Tracy shares a moment with Sonny. Diane offers encouragement to Alexis. Kevin explains what might have led to Marshall’s misdiagnosis. Stella has an unlikely encounter.
TUESDAY, MARCH 19
Josslyn opens up to Carly. Dex confides in Anna. Sonny offers Natalia some valuable insights. Jason gets a visitor. Brook Lynn lays into John.
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20
Tracy sees a new side of Cody. Alexis informs Molly about her plans. Natalia has a revelation. Anna makes an admission to John over drinks.
THURSDAY, MARCH 21
Drew has a proposition for Nina. A photo shoot at Deception goes wrong. Laura and Heather find some common ground. Willow is worried by her actions.
FRIDAY, MARCH 22
Jason reaches out to Diane for help. Maxie calls Lucy out. Cody and Olivia comfort each other. Sasha makes a huge decision. Chase and Brook Lynn are stunned.
Now below, watch this week’s promo for the action in Port Charles.

The Young and the Restless Previews: Jordan Still Has a Trick Up Her Sleeve, Ashley’s Troubling Alter, Connor’s OCD
Teasers for The Young and the Restless for the week of March 18-22nd have been revealed, and it should be noted, it will be a shortened week of episodes, because on Thursday, March 21st and Friday, March 22nd, Y&R will be preempted for CBS’ coverage of the 2024 March Madness College Basketball tournament.
That being said, a few stories will bring the drama for a fresh new set of episodes airing early next week.
In the “what to look for”, while Victor (Eric Braeden) with the help of Nick (Joshua Morrow), have Jordan (Colleen Zenk) held captive in a warehouse, things look to go awry, when Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott), Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and Claire (Hayley Erin) help convince Victor that they need to confront Jordan, in part, to help Nikki move on from the trauma she has received from Jordan including getting her back on the bottle.
According to Amelia Heinle, who spoke to Soap Opera Digest of the upcoming ‘meeting’: “The last people that Jordan was expecting to see while in captivity were Nikki, Victoria, and Claire, but Jordan cannot resist the urge to take on her rivals with one trick up her sleeve that no one will see coming.”
Meanwhile, Billy (Jason Thompson) is taken aback by his talk with Ashley (Eileen Davidson). Will he figure out, as Tucker (Trevor St. John) has beginning to do, that something is off and concerning about Ashley’s behavior? How long do you think it will take for someone to figure out she has had a personality break and now has an alter controlling her life, or trying to?
Adam (Mark Grossman) and Chelsea’s (Melissa Claire Egan) son, Connor (Judah Mackey) had been diagnosed with OCD and now Chelsea feels very guilty. Will Connor’s OCD bring about continued thoughts as he presented to his parents, that he is hating himself? Stay tuned.
Below are the official Y&R teasers for next week:
Monday, March 18
Victor receives a shocking request from Nikki , Billy has a troubling encounter with Ashley, and Summer challenges Claire.
Tuesday, March 19
Victor tests Nick and Summer’s loyalty, Chelsea blames herself for Connor’s issues, and Nikki’s plan for revenge against Jordan backfires.
Wednesday, March 20
The Newmans support Claire as she struggles to connect with her new family.
Are you ready for Jordan to be caught once and for all and pay for her crimes against the Newman family, or do you want her to escape from her captivity so she can continue to torment the clan? What do you think of Ashley’s alter? Do you hope Y&R tells Connor’s OCD story with depth and humanity? Comment below.
