<p><em>Bold & Beautiful</em> fans knew almost from the moment that Steffy stabbed Sheila that the villainess was only “dead.” When at last she is returned to the land of the living, expect Deacon to waste no time making an honest woman of her and Finn to insist to his wife that she can’t keep him away from Mommie Dearest.</p>

<p>If we were <em>Days of Our Lives</em>, we’d wait years before letting Nicole find out that Jude is really her son. But since we’re not <em>Days of Our Lives</em>, the soap will almost certainly serve Sloan her just desserts and plop the tyke back in his actual mother’s arms before May calls it a day.</p>

<p>Now that we know that <em>General Hospital</em> won’t be raising Spencer from his watery grave (<a href="https://soaps.sheknows.com/general-hospital/comings-and-goings/727335/nicholas-chavez-not-returning-as-spencer/" target="_blank">here’s why</a>), it’s time for Trina to move on. Maybe she’ll be more understanding of the impossible predicament into which Sonny dropped Dex than his now-ex Josslyn was?</p>

<p>When Daniel’s lawsuit puts the entire future of Chancellor-Winters in jeopardy, <em>Young & Restless</em>’ Jill elects to settle out of court — and pink-slip Lily, whose spiteful move landed the company in such hot water in the first place. Thinking on his feet, Billy curries favor with Nate to seize ultimate control.</p>

<p>Obviously, <em>Bold & Beautiful</em> isn’t going to let Special-Mintsgate keep R.J. and Luna apart for good. And this being <em>Bold & Beautiful</em>, we’d wager that Ridge’s son will celebrate their reunion by getting down on one knee and popping the question.</p>

<p><em>Days of Our Lives</em> already hinted that it had <a href="https://soaps.sheknows.com/days-of-our-lives/comings-and-goings/725178/recast-gabi-who-is-cherie-jimenez-playing-al-calderon/" target="_blank">recast Camila Banus as Gabi</a>. So perhaps we’ll finally get to see her returned to Stefan’s arms so that they can figure out who made Li a casualty of the ultimate backstab. (That is, <a href="https://soaps.sheknows.com/days-of-our-lives/news/725296/remington-hoffman-return-li-shin-alive/" target="_blank">if you believe that he’s really dead</a>.)</p>

<p>Joining the ranks of the <a href="https://soaps.sheknows.com/gallery/general-hospital-villains-redeemed-photos-sonny-sam-carly/" target="_blank"><em>General Hospital</em> characters who have been redeemed</a>, Ava is sure to do right by Sonny and reveal that something is amiss with his bipolar pills. After playing a starring role in Morgan’s death, no way would she want a repeat of the heartache and ostracism that followed.</p>

<p>As <em>Young & Restless</em>’ Harrison continues to suffer the aftereffects of his “stay” with Jordan, it will be Claire who is able to make the youngster understand that she was so far off her rocker, she was actually on the couch. As a result, even Summer won’t be able to hold the grudge against Claire that she’s dying to!</p>

<p><em>Bold & Beautiful</em> could become <em>Sneaky & Avaricious</em> if Poppy finally tires of being seen as an irresponsible druggy and makes it her mission to become Mrs. Bill Spencer. If she can’t earn Li’s respect, dang it, she’ll marry up and freaking <em>buy</em> it!</p>

<p>We’ll finally find out whether <em>Days of Our Lives</em>’ Everett is lying about not remembering who Bobby is when the truth comes out that he’s got a split personality. The caddish half of him was hitched to Jada, and the Mr. Nice Guy half wined and dined Stephanie.</p>

<p>Although <em>General Hospital</em> will finally let Anna in on the secret that Valentin is the brains behind Pikeman, she’ll find that bringing her ex to justice will be easier said than done. Could she fall for Brennan’s charms as she uses him to get the ammo to blow Valentin out of the water?</p>

<p>Tequila shots all around! <em>Young & Restless</em>’ <span style="text-decoration: line-through">Blanche Devereaux</span> Ashley will make a play for <a href="https://soaps.sheknows.com/the-young-and-the-restless/comings-and-goings/726044/ashley-doctor-alan-laurent/#:~:text=Ashley's%20Doctor%20Alan%20Laurent%20on,All%20You%20Need%20to%20Know" target="_blank">her shrink, Alan</a>. But we’re hoping that he’ll be smart enough to see that his friend isn’t herself and get her head screwed on straight before starting any kind of romance with her.</p>

<p><em>Bold & Beautiful</em> isn’t just <a href="https://soaps.sheknows.com/the-bold-and-the-beautiful/news/727164/when-why-does-ivy-return/" target="_blank">bringing back Ivy</a> to add some “beautiful” to the show. She’s sure to mark a new beginning for Liam, who you may have noticed lately has been realizing what a fickle fella he’s been over the years.</p>

<p>For better or worse, we expect that <em>Days of Our Lives</em> will rush Chanel and Johnny onto the parent track. But when they have difficulty conceiving, they’ll receive an assist from, of all people, Allie. Do we even need to hazard a guess that complications will ensue?</p>

<p><em>General Hospital</em> fans can be sure of two things where the nuptials of Chase and Brook Lynn are concerned. 1. It’s gonna be a wedding to remember. 2. It’s gonna be as chaotic as it is touching. Good luck, you crazy kids, you!</p>

<p>When <em>Young & Restless</em>’ Nikki learns that Victor lied about Jordan’s “death,” her drinking will worsen so much that she takes to frequenting dive bars. In one, a bad decision (“Kamikaze, please!”) leads to a worse one (a flirtation with a <a href="https://soaps.sheknows.com/the-young-and-the-restless/news/727172/best-new-character/" target="_blank">stranger who has an axe to grind</a> with The Mustache).</p>

<p>When <em>Bold & Beautiful</em> brings Thomas back to L.A., Hope may be surprised to see how well his broken heart has healed. Maybe his attitude of “no hard feelings” will have something to do with the <a href="https://soaps.sheknows.com/the-bold-and-the-beautiful/news/725171/thomas-returns-with-amber/" target="_blank">blast from the past who comes back</a> to the City of Angels with him?</p>

<p>The <em>Days of Our Lives</em> reveal that Xander, not Alex, is really Victor’s heir won’t be all cause for celebration. Sure, Xander will have piles of money with which to dry his tears, but he’ll also have to wrap his brain around the fact that <a href="https://soaps.sheknows.com/days-of-our-lives/news/723293/paul-telfer-xander-father-konstantin/" target="_blank">his father lied to him his entire life</a>!</p>

<p>… love the one you’re with. What that’s likely to mean on <em>General Hospital</em> is that Carly will act on impulse and hook up with John, while Jason rendezvouses with his secret lover. Could he have been sleeping with another of Sonny’s exes while he was “away”? (<a href="https://soaps.sheknows.com/general-hospital/news/722088/jason-love/" target="_blank">Find out which one here.</a>)</p>

<p>We’ve all seen it coming. <em>Young & Restless</em>’ Victoria and Cole are about to give a relationship the old college try again. But have they really learned in all their years apart enough to make a redo more successful than their first marriage?</p>
