Spencer and Trina reunited and it felt so good! Trina saw Spencer limping around the corner, ran, and flew off of the ground only to land perfectly into Spencer’s arms. The two embraced, smiled at one another, and kissed passionately as Spencer held her up oh so effortlessly.
Diane gives Robert an ultimatum….call me when you’re 100% available and over your ex wife Holly!
Since Liesl is back, Willow is being prepped for her transplant.
Everyone thinks Ned called the SEC on Carly and Drew, and Drew punched him as a result, but what will they do once they find out Nina is the true snitch?

YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS:

All of the late great Neil Winters’ loved ones gathered at his new Jazz Club to honor his memory. I always admired Victor’s appreciation and kind words whenever he spoke about Neil.

Everything went well and all remembered Neil and the great impact he had and still has on the residents of Genoa City.
Elena updated Audra on what happened with Nate, and packed her things, left her key on the stand and moved out.
Meanwhile, Victoria fills her mom in on what happened, and tells Nick to stay out of her business as she promised to stay out of his.

May 1, 2023-May 5, 2023

GENERAL HOSPITAL:

Spencer didn’t kill his Uncle Victor; however, he knocked a little bit of much needed sense into him instead (at least we hope).
Trina told Curtis and Laura the redirected drones were a very bad idea since Spencer is on the Haunted Star!
Willow asked to see Nina just to tell her to stay away from Carly and make piece. But once, and if, they find out she put the plan in motion for the SEC to arrest Carly and Drew, this entire situation will get worse, especially and unfortunately with her and Sonny.

YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS:

Loyalty was put to the test, and some passed, but some failed. Nate and Victoria sealed their attraction for one another with a little more than a kiss…….
Elena arrived just in time to catch Nate and Victoria getting cozy in their after glow at a table on the patio of a cafe and she broke up with him shortly after throwing water in his face and giving her a piece of her mind.
Daniel hasn’t told anyone that Phyllis is actually alive from what Summer told him, but he made very valid points about keeping this information low key. How long will he be able to keep this secret?
Everyone began to gather at the Genoa City Jazz Club in honor of the late great Neil Winters (Kristoff St. John), and there were a couple of surprise visitors…..MALCOLM (Shemar Moore), and Harmony Hamilton!

DAYS OF OUR LIVES:

EJ pulled all the punches on Eric this week because he had enough of Eric sort of rubbing it in his face that he and Nicole slept together (thanks to the drugged biscuits), and indirectly reminding him that they will ALWAYS have a connection, chemistry, and now………a baby maybe? Kayla told Nicole she’s pregnant!
Steve gave Harris (Steve Burton) a hard time because of him withholding the fact that Bo was alive (for only what….five seconds, right)? Needless to say, Chad made him realize that Harris is a navy seal and that he’s their best chance to help them find Kate, who’s busy chopping up fish and…..fingers?
Jada and Rafe are trying extra hard to abide by the laws stating they can’t date each other no matter how attracted they are to one another….even if they did admit they have feelings for each other beyond work.
Colin now wants Talia to seduce Chanel and then dump her. Talia doesn’t feel like she’s up for the task because she’s not into girls, and she doesn’t want to break Chanel’s heart.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL:

There was a new wine connoisseur (none other than the DYNOMITE Jimmie Walker) in town wanting to make a deal with Deacon at Il Giardino. He and his grandson made a pitch that Deacon may or may not take.
Thomas is doing great in working on himself and focusing on Douglas, and his work for Hope for the Future. Hope, on the other hand, isn’t doing great because she’s trying to keep her cool from wanting to jump Thomas’ bones but there’s just something that keeps pulling her towards Thomas and she can’t stop flirting with him in a sense.
Steffy sees the overkill flirty behavior Hope is laying on thick with Thomas and gives Hope a warning not to push Thomas back into a downward spiral since he’s doing so good and asks her once and for all if she has feelings for her brother.
Bill is determined to win Katie back; however, she is determined to continue seeing where it goes with her and Carter since they agreed and admitted that they made love, and that it was just that……love.
