Listeners, pull up a velvet chaise and pour something sparkling, because daytime in America’s soap palaces is serving caviar-level chaos.

Over in Los Angeles on The Bold and the Beautiful, Soap Hub and TVMusic Network say the Forrester-adjacent set is still buzzing from that double wedding shocker at the Spencer mansion. Hope and Liam just remarried in a swirl of romance, only for Bill to whip out a surprise proposal and marry Katie on the spot, turning a sweet vow renewal into a two-for-one couture commitment ceremony. Now Brooke is sashaying over to Ridge to drop the bomb that “more than one couple” tied the knot, and you just know Ridge’s eyebrows are going higher than a Forrester price tag as Brooke serves him marital tea hotter than a Malibu sunrise.

Katie, never one to let a billionaire be the only one handing out surprises, is said by Soap Opera News to be gifting Bill with something “very special.” The couple has reunited, she’s moved back in, the family is finally on track—so whatever she unwraps for Dollar Bill today? Expect it to be more emotional than any stock portfolio and possibly life‑changing.

Meanwhile, in the shadows, Sheila Carter is giving full thriller energy. According to Soap Hub, her behavior has Taylor and Deacon officially on edge. Sheila keeps insisting she’s a reformed queen, but the little things she says and does are raising red flags like it’s Fashion Week. Taylor, ever the ethical therapist, is worried her patient may be inching back toward her villain era, and Deacon is caught between love, loyalty, and the terrifying realization that when Sheila spirals, everyone in L.A. needs hazard pay.

Jumping coasts to Salem on Days of Our Lives, Primetimer reports the DiMera empire is slipping into full Gothic mystery. EJ DiMera has vanished, and his son Johnny is spiraling, clutching his nerves while Chanel tries to calm him down with that bakery‑sweet compassion and a side of steely resolve. Her mother Paulina isn’t having any illusions—she warns Chanel that with DiMeras disappearing like limited‑edition handbags, she and Johnny could be next on the kidnap list.

The drama doesn’t stop there: Javi Hernandez uncovers that Gabi has been tangled up in the DiMeras’ takeover of Titan. When he learns Tony dangled the CEO seat in front of her, Javi’s fury reportedly explodes, and Salem’s latest power couple teeters on the edge of a very public implosion. And while all that erupts, Leo Stark thinks he’s about to score the scoop of a lifetime on the DiMera disappearances—until Gwen slinks in, all menace and stilettos, and threatens to ruin his fiancé Javi if Leo dares to publish. That, listeners, is blackmail with a designer bow on top.

And for those craving fresh wealth‑porn drama, Soap Hub teases that Beyond the Gates is turning Fairmont Crest into the new zip code of scandal. Vanessa, the widowed real‑estate maven juggling an escort service and a money‑laundering side hustle, drops an “emotional bombshell” on lover Joey at the country club, testing a relationship already hanging by a silk thread. Queen Bee Anita is hiding a possibly health‑related secret from her family right after pulling off a flawless WinterFest, while Dani catches someone snooping in her luxe home, and Kat refuses to play power‑couple dress‑up by moving in with Tomas just to boost his partner‑track image. That’s right: ambition, insecurity, and intimacy are all clashing harder than patterns at a charity gala.

Listeners, today in soaps the rich are remarried, the powerful are disappearing, the dangerous are pretending to be redeemed, and love is one bad decision away from disaster—just the way you like it.
