Since the departure of Jackie (Jack Wagner) in 2012 after Down’s contract was not renewed, fans have been wondering what the redheaded Brit is up to. Could she ever come back to Los Angeles? After all, she has plenty of history with many people on the canvas, including her ex Deacon (Sean Kanan). In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Down made clear her stance on a potential return to B&B.

The actress told the entertainment news outlet:

I’d say to them, ‘Well, you’re going to have to call up Linda Gray.' Why would you even think I would go back and do that?”

Dallas diva Linda Gray appeared on B&B in 2004-2005 as Priscilla Kelly. When remembering her time on the soap, Down did fondly remember some of her hunky love interests. She mused:

I got to kiss two of the world’s really most charming, loveliest men, Sean Kanan and Brandon Beamer, who were gorgeous and both of them 30, 40 years younger than me.

Kanan quote-tweeted the article on X and said:

I have to admit I’m disappointed that Lesley wouldn’t come back. Working with her is one of the highlights of my time in the show. I absolutely adore her.

Read his reply below.

I have to admit I’m disappointed that Lesley wouldn’t come back. Working with her is one of the highlights of my time in the show. I absolutely adore her. Had the honor of working with her very talented husband Don who was a DP on Cobra Kai. Wishing both of them all the best. https://t.co/zml5L9nXJ7

To begin with, the Salem-set sudser will keep legacy characters and tradition at its core. Corday said:

Sixty-one years! The anniversary episodes this year include a few of the show’s legacy characters and seed future stories. Thaao [Penghlis, Tony] and Leann [Hunley, Anna] came back and of course have scenes with our new Dominic [Kyle Pryor] and the rest of the DiMeras.

Corday added that the show’s traditions, such as major wedding anniversaries and, of course, the presence of the beloved Horton Christmas tree, aren’t going anywhere. At the same time, DAYS will stay current with the times.

The DAYS head honcho teased love triangles, reunions, and new loves, too. He also hinted at an exciting new female character, saying:

I’m particularly excited about a brand-new character who brings some levity to the canvas and gets herself involved with almost everyone in Salem. She’ll debut in the spring. Stay tuned!

What do you think of Corday’s Salem preview? Let us know in the comments!

Maitland’s reel featured Traci’s romance with Martin/Alan Laurent (Christopher Cousins) and the discovery that she was actually in love with the evil twin. Yet again, Traci was left with her heartbroken. The actress opened up about her alter ego’s less-than-successful love life:

Traci needs love; the good kind. Traci needs story. Aunt Traci is who everybody comes to for their problems and advice, and I feel like there's a lot of story to tell. Traci's got a lot to say lef.

While Traci’s love life could use some help, she isn’t lacking in the love department at all. The character is beloved among her Abbott family and the citizens of Genoa City. Not to mention the fans have adored Traci since 1982. What has it been like for Traci going from always needing help to helping others? Maitland revealed:

She was kind of a trauma victim when we started out, wasn't she? We've kind of grown to be, like you say, the matriarch, but more the heart. I like to think more the heart of the Abbotts but also of Genoa City. There's really not another character like that everyone can come to. She doesn't judge them. She doesn't criticize. She just wants to help, and have them be the best person they can be.

You’ll get no disagreements here, Beth. Congratulations on your well-deserved Emmy win!

Check out the full interview below where she also shares what the new Young and the Restless writers Jamey Giddens and Dan O’Connor told her!

She stated that, even when website algorithms serve her up clips of The View, she can’t watch them. Trixie Mattel said:

The universe never shows me a nice, normal clip on The View. The universe shows me the crazy s***. o be fair, you all are talking about hot-button topics, from the heart, off the cuff, live.

Collins agreed, replying:

It's a minefield. It's a show that is genuinely begging people to ruin your lives. And I have so much respect for every host who's ever been on that show because no matter who you are, it's a dangerous show to be on.

Trixie added that having to get so raw on TV was a lot:

It's funny, You laugh at, LOL, reality TV, but these cameras are like in their house in their house, up their p****, basically.

Collins remembered she felt out of her depth, saying:

Oh, I was on the season with all the child stars. This is a show about politics. By the way, I had no business talking about it, either. It's not like I'm sitting here like... You know, I was an art history major; they brought us in to hopefully be pop culture, make it more fun, this and that. And something shifted right before the season started because of [Donald] Trump and everything and suddenly everywhere, all of a sudden, we were talking politics. and so you have Candace Cameron [Bure] and Raven-Symoné, God bless, you know, I mean, like The McLaughlin Group. I mean, it's sort of genius in many ways now that I'm thinking about it, looking at it from the outside in. It's kind of incredible. And I had no business being there to begin with. I'm glad I was.

Sarah reacts and starts to leave when Xander pulls her back, reminding her of their conversation. She apologizes for any overreaction and mentions the encounter with the disgruntled patient. Xander says they have George’s laptop which will make the lawsuit mess go away soon. Those words do not seem to comfort Sarah in the slightest.

The actress joined the cast of General Hospital as a long-awaited recast for legacy character Serena Baldwin. Serena is the daughter of Scotty Baldwin (Kin Shriner) and Dominique Stanton Baldwin (Shell Danielson). Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) gave birth to Serena as a surrogate. Sadly, Dominique passed away before Serena was born. Serena left screen shortly after birth, but popped back up as a child on General Hospital spin-off Port Charles. She was a pre-teen when the show ended.

While viewers were treated to a one-time visit by an adult Serena (Carly Schroeder) in 2017 when her grandfather Lee Baldwin (Peter Hansen) passed away, the character has mostly been off the canvas. Kruger’s portrayal is the first time the show has featured Serena as an adult full-time.

Kruger let me know on the Daytime Emmy red carpet she felt a familiarity when joining General Hospital! She beamed:

It's like coming home, right? I started in daytime, but coming to General Hospital, particularly, is extra special.

So, what is it like getting to work with General Hospital legend Lynn Herring AKA Lucy Coe? Kruger glowed as she responded:

Unbelievable! From the first second we met, it was like we were connected for life. She took me under her wing. She made me comfortable. She gave me like pep talks, because I was off for a few years. So, just being thrown back in, she's been like such a support for me.

Watch Kruger in the full interview below give her thoughts on working with Rory Gibson (Michael Corinthos), Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) and what’s coming up next for Serena!

However, it hasn’t always been rainbows and butterflies for the couple. Dani can’t completely let go of her ex-husband, Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett)! Not to mention, she hooked up with her ex during a tornado while Andre was fighting for his life. Andre is still in the dark about that one. Andre has been more than understanding, but lately he’s been forced to speak up!

Freeman stopped by to chat with Daytime Confidential on the 53rd Annual Daytime Emmy Red Carpet. The actor gave his thoughts on Andre losing his patience with Dani!

I was very proud of Andre Richardson. Okay, he put his foot down, but in a loving way. Just said what he felt. You know, I think it was time for that.

He’s caught between former lovers Bill and Dani while also dealing with his own former flame ,Heather (Ashley Jones). Heather wants Andre back, but Andre has her at arm’s length. Heather has quite the dark side and Andre has been running from her for years. Is his time up? Freeman gave a warning when it comes Heather and Andre:

We're gonna be in each other's orbit a little while longer, but when it happens, it happens. Boom!

Nicole says sometimes bitches get loose and cause chaos (Ha!). She asks Martin and Smitty to call them immediately if something happens and Ted assures them, they will continue to protect each other as a family.

Sonny Uses Ric to Connect With Jude on General Hospital

Brook Lynn visits Sonny to discuss Jude. She says the biological father signed the papers and sealed the adoption. She is upset she didn’t push harder to know who the father was. Brook Lynn says Jude might have a legitimate claim to Phoebe as he has documents.

Sonny says Jerry is terrible and wonders how much money Jude is asking for. Brook Lynn says Jude hasn’t asked for anything yet and if he doesn’t get a court order, the adoption stands. Sonny promises to help her out and later, calls Ric to have him set up a meeting with Jude.  

Joe wants information and details about the bracelet, but Carly continues to insist it’s not hers. She says Jack gave her lots of gifts, and she must have lost track of this one after they broke up. Carly says it’s a very popular style and they won’t be able to prove the one found is the same as the one she no longer has. She insists she’s not the killer.  

Josslyn stops by to see Carly and knows she didn’t kill Brennan but wonders what she’s hiding. Carly admits she’s protecting someone but won’t say anything else. Joss tells her about Jude, which is news to Carly. Joss says she only found out about him a few years ago when she was living with her father.  

Josslyn says she’s been keeping her distance but has HR looking into any records of him and a PI looking into his history. Carly warns her to be careful and protect herself. Joss says Jude is also claiming to be Phoebe’s biological father.

Willow and Tristan Clash!

Willow shows up and says she has an assignment for Tristan and is pulling him out of the hospital for a couple of hours. Tristan points out she doesn’t have authority over him, but she says she cleared it with Homeland Security and the WSB. Lucas and Willow get into it and Tristan breaks it up.  

Willow thinks Tristan is cooperating, but he says he’d rather be in a dark site hole than cooperate with her. Willow says Tristan has been assigned but he says he doesn’t take orders from either the WSB or Homeland Security and she can’t force him to do anything.

Willow changes tactics and says Nina needs his help and explains she’s being held by the WSB. Willow says she wants Nina to be seen by a doctor, but it can only be someone with WSB clearance, which is why she’s asking Tristan. He still turns her down, but she begs for his help. He says she needs to ask nicely and not be such a giant biatch. Willow pleads for him to check on Nina.  

Joe stops by to see Lucas, apologizing for Carly’s arrest but Lucas knows the WSB did a crappy job and doesn’t blame him. Lucas swears Carly didn’t kill Jack, but Joe says there is evidence against her. Lucas mentions something in the autopsy report but swears he didn’t go near the body in the morgue.  

Previous General Hospital (GH) recap: Will Carly Take The Fall For Charlotte and Danny?

Joe still thinks Carly pushed Brennan into the pool and Valentin held him down, but Lucas mentions how Jack had a high level of alcohol in his system as well as a sleeping pill. Lucas theorizes someone gave Jack the pill without his knowledge.  

Nina questions Baines, on whether he’s been investigating Willow, but he says Jack’s body has been found. Nina gets upset, saying Jack was a decent man and blames the WSB for killing him and scapegoating her. Baines tells her that his body was recovered in the nature preserve and that the PCPD has arrested Carly and Valentin.

Nina figures that’s how the wallet got into her car, that Carly put it there because she hates her. Baines brings up Valentin, but Nina says Carly roped him in with her. Tristan shows up and Nina asks if Willow is ok. He examines Nina while she goes on about the greatness that is Willow.  

Ava tells Drew the police have found Jack’s body. Drew calls a reporter friend to find out the details and get back to him. Ava is hoping this means Nina can get out, but Drew says if she finds out what they did, she’ll come after them.  

Drew’s source calls back and he tells Ava that Carly and Valentin were arrested. Ava says Drew should have framed Carly instead of Nina, since she’s innocent but Drew doesn’t see Nina in the same light. Willow interrupts to tell Ava that Nina has been transferred to a facility in town and how the police are looking at Carly and Valentin. She is hopeful Nina will be released as soon as possible, which thrills Ava but annoys Drew.

Her character, Katherine “Kat” Richardson, has the ability to breathe life into every scene she graces. While she fiercely protects her family, there is one relative who always seems to overcook her grits! It’s none other than her sister, Eva Thomas (Ambyr Michelle). The siblings have a touchy relationship at best. Even though Kat donated her liver to save Eva’s life, that wasn’t enough to mend the fences between the ladies.

What is it like for the two actors whose characters are always at each other’s throats? Nixon beamed:

I don't know if I consider myself super fiery, and Kat is really fiery. So, being able to play that has been such a dream. Being able to play it with Ambyr Michelle, and I also have to give a shout out to Trisha Mann-Grant (Dana Leslie Thomas) because I will spar with her too. It makes it easy. It's just easy, because we just play off of each other so well. They're both so talented that I'm just so lucky to work with them. I love it.

Check out her thoughts on the soap opera pace, Eva’s boyfriend Isaiah (Lami), and what’s coming up next for Kat in the full interview below!

Hendrickson spoke with Daytime Confidential about her big career change. She shared:

It's been a wild ride. I started training about two years ago. I've been on the team for a year. I am learning so much, and being on the other side of the camera has been just the most beautiful, most wild ride. I'm still having like a little bit of a pinch me moment, but I'm just so lucky.

Additionally, she mentioned how different directing can be:

It's challenging me to a point that I didn't know I really needed in this point in my life. I'm really leaning into that.

Hendrickson also revealed whether Chloe would still make appearances in Genoa City! Be sure to watch to the full interview below to find out!

RELATED: It’s a Boy: Days of Our Lives Casts Kyle Pryor as Marlena’s Son!

Pryor told TV Insider that he’s having fun learning more not just about Salem, but also his mysterious character. How would he describe Dominic? He said:

I feel like he’s quite a conflicted guy. He’s grown up to believe a particular thing, and I feel like that’s his operating system. But there’s another level to him that I don’t think has been revealed yet. He’s quite multifaceted. He’s been programmed to be a certain way, but there’s more to him than meets the eye. I think there’s some nuance there that is really nice to play with and bring out in the character.

What can fans expect in terms of Dominic-related storylines? Pryor teased:

A lot of manipulation. Obviously drama, but some heartfelt moments as well. I think that will surprise people. He is a billionaire, and he’s a very established businessman. He has a lot of fingers in a lot of different pies, and he’s somewhat of a puppet master. So, he’s dipping in and out of other people’s storylines, and he has a different methodology with different people based on how they operate. I hope people enjoy that element of the character. I mean, the chess set is the obvious analogy: He’s just moving the pieces around in the right order and is a bit of a chess master. Unlike me personally, I can’t play chess to save my life.

Are you looking forward to seeing Dominic shake up DAYS? Let us know in the comments!

In a TikTok, she revealed she was fired on Jan. 2 after five years as baker/actress Chanel. She added:

I had just signed a new contract that was for nine months, but every three months, your contract cannot be renewed or picked up. It's, like, eight o'clock in the morning and I am completely blindsided. I just remember being in bed; my sister was in town and she was laying next to me and I got this call and I was like, 'Why would my producer be calling me on Jan. 2? We don't go back to work for a week. Something is going on. I think I'm getting fired.' I was just like, 'No, no, no,' and I answered that call and that is what that call was.

Bowens was informed that DAYS didn’t have a storyline for Chanel at the moment and so they’d be scripting an exit for the popular character when her current storyline wrapped. She said that such things do happen in show business, but noted that:

it was a really hard reality. I was going to work every day for five years; I got comfortable. That was like my second home.

Because DAYS films so far in advance of when it airs, Chanel is still on screen at the moment. Watch Bowens open up below.

Anna sees Heather and questions why she’s back in town. Heather says she’s in town to spend time with family and was about to head over to Laura’s to see Ace. Anna tells her that they’re all in Ireland and asks where she’s staying. Heather says she bought Spoon Island and is certain it’s’ the perfect place for Ace to visit until he’s old enough to take over.

Anna asks how she could afford it and Heather says she got a huge settlement for the cobalt poisoning. Anna thinks it would be best for Ace if Heather didn’t live in town, but she says she also wants to connect with Liz. Heather says she has to confront her past and won’t hide out in Arizona anymore.

Heather feels the responsibility of the deaths she caused and wants to make amends. She admits she saw Trina last night when she bought the gig at the lounge but that Trina wants nothing to do with her. Anna says Ace will eventually hear how crazy his grandmother is, but Heather wants him to know who she is now. Anna still thinks Heather would have a better relationship if she put down roots elsewhere and just saw him occasionally.

Alexis Asks Ava to Contact Ethan

Alexis summons Ava and asks to help her get in touch with Ethan. Ava says he pretended to be interested in her and then took off. She says there is no way to reach him but Alexis insists she needs to find him. She explains to Ava about Jude’s claims that he’s the father and needs Ethan to come forward and prove he’s lying.

Ava says it’s probably better not to find Ethan because they may not get the answer they want. Before she leaves, Alexis tells Ava that Jack’s body was found last night but doesn’t know if the sleeping pill Ava gave him was the cause of death.

Jossly Provides Brook Lynn a DNA Sample on General Hospital

Will Carly Take The Fall For Charlotte and Danny?

Jason gets to the station where Carly is being questioned by Joe and Molly regarding the bracelet. Dante tells him Carly and Valentin were found near Brennan’s body but Jason says Carly didn’t kill him but can’t prove it yet. Dante asks if Carly could be covering for Valentin and wants Jason to convince her to talk to them.

Carly looks at the photo of the bracelet and remembers giving it to Charlotte months ago.  When Valentin asks about it, Carly tells him that it was a gift from Jack, but she was never going to wear it and she and Charlotte share the same initial. Carly tells Joe the bracelet is not hers.

Molly tells Dante that Carly denies the bracelet even though it was obvious she recognized it. Dante wonders if Carly is covering for Valentin. Joe says he has the preliminary autopsy that shows drowning as Jack’s cause of death. He says there was no defensive wounds, so no fighting before death.  

The trio figures Jack was drowned at the hotel pool and then the body moved. Dante mentions the security cameras being down that night. Joe wonders if Carly turned off the cameras so she could kill Jack. Molly and Dante both say Carly would have needed help to move the body which is where Valentin could have come in.  

Jason tells Carly that he knows the truth from Danny. Carly tells him about the bracelet and how they think it’s hers and the evidence is piling up. She tells him the bracelet has the letter C on it and hypothetically says if Jack had given it to her she would have given it to someone else with that initial.  

Joe comes back and says they found a receipt for the bracelet in Jack’s possession. Carly tries to pass it off as something he bought for someone else. Joe shows her a social media photo of her wearing the bracelet earlier this year.  (Boom!!  I did not have that on my Bingo card for today. Though I’m guessing Carly will take the fall to protect Danny and Charlotte

Joy goes off with fake tears saying Stephanie has no clue what it’s like to be a mother which means she would never do anything so twisted as to fake her own paralysis.

Brooke Warns Katie She’s Set to Lose Everything

Katie and Brooke are in the Forrester main office with the broken window. Brooke thinks Katie’s outrage is misdirected as she and Bill were only trying to protect her (For the love…). Katie says outrage is a very minimal word for what she is feeling at the moment. Brooke mentions how her rage brought her there to destroy a Forrester window (Just like Brooke did when she threw a stapler at Katie’s head, breaking the Logan screen). Brooke says Katie is so wrapped up in her success which is all fueled by her hatred for her. Katie giggles and notes how Brooke brings EVERYTHING back to her.

Brooke, and her lack of self-awareness, can’t stop and leads her to say how she gets that Katie might be a little triggered by her connection with Bill (Does she even hear herself?) but says they were only meeting out of concern for her. Brooke gets down to it and says Katie is going to lose and destroy everything she cares about if she doesn’t stop this madness (Will someone please help me understand the madness of which Brooke speaks? I. AM. CONFUSION.).

Heather says she’s there to apologize but they question why she would come back to town. She says the judge ruled she wasn’t responsible for the murders because of her poisoning. She says she’s back in town because she wants to put down roots near her family, Liz and Ace.  

Heather says she bought Spoon Island and offers to have Trina perform there. Trina gets upset Heather is ignoring the fact she killed people, but she says she has to find a way to make it better. Heather just wants to make amends and move forward together in peace.

Chase says the bio father submitted for the DNA test. Brook Lynn wants Alexis to tell them who it was. Alexis says the records are sealed and she’d have to get a court order to tell them who the father is. Brook Lynn says they need to protect the baby from Jude, so Alexis promises to contact the father and tell him. Chase asks what happens if it turns out the father was lying and Alexis says Jude would have a claim to the baby. Alexis says Jude would need a court mandated DNA test to prove he’s the father. Brook Lynn says they’re going to make sure he never gets it.

Britt runs into Jude at the bar. He says he’s decided to stay in town for specific reasons and wants to introduce himself, but Britt stops him. She says there might be things they don’t want to know about each other so they should have one more night together first. Jude admits he took a chance he’d run into her, which is fine with Britt and the two kiss. As they’re leaving, Joss and Hudson arrive and Jude recognizes his cousin.

Josslyn tells him that he needs to leave town as he doesn’t belong here and won’t get what he wants. Jude gets in her personal space and warns she can’t tell him what to do. Hudson gets between them and tells Jude to back off.  

Josslyn says he’s not family, but Jude says he’s as much a Jacks as she is and entitled to everything she has. Britt starts to drag him away, but Joss warns her to be careful because he’s dangerous. Britt doesn’t appreciate the advice.

Now, Stephanie is on to Joy’s deception. She told Salem her suspicions, but Alex isn’t sure she’s on the right path. This fracture could make things between the two even worse!

Klein told Soaps.com that, if Stephanie and Alex stuck together as long as her parents, Steve (Stephen Nichols) and Kayla (Mary Beth Evans), they might have a shot at happily-ever-after. However, Klein is imagining it harder and harder to envision such a future for her character and her on-screen hubby.

Klein mused:

I know that Stephanie always wanted that, but the longer that she and Alex are together and the longer that they experience these big bumps in the road, I think that she’s kind of — I don’t want to say becoming skeptical, but I don’t think that she’s thinking about a fairy tale anymore. She just wants to be with somebody who fights for her, and somebody who chooses her.

Could another guy be that person for Steph? What do you think? Let us know in the comments!

Last time she was in town, it was revealed that minerals Heather’s hip replacement could have filtered into her blood. She won a monetary settlement, claiming that had caused her descent into serial killer-dom, and then left down. Now that she’s returned, though, is it possible that Heather might really be a good character after all?

Emmy winner Mills told TV Insider that things are totally different for Heather; after all, her overturned criminal conviction gave her a new lease on life. She said:

My version of Heather’s life [is that] she was in prison the whole time, so all Alley has ever known about Heather is prison.And now, she comes back, and she’s really rich, and that’s been totally fun. As far as Heather is concerned, she’s cured. When she broke her hip and had that hip replacement, that’s when things started getting really muddled and dark in her mind. But now, she would never hurt anybody. She just has to convince everybody else of that.

And even if Heather (notably played by Robin Mattsson on and off from 1980 to 2016) is happy to greet people like Trina (Tabyana Ali), next to nobody’s happy to see her. Mills said:

“Every day, somebody new tells her how horrible she i. It’s been an uphill battle, and she just hopes that people will understand and forgive her. But with the wonderful voice of [co-head writers] Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte, she just has so much spunk. I love the way they write her. She doesn’t really have a ton of boundaries and social awareness and softness. But she just won’t let people get her down. She’s like one of those dolls outside the gas station. You throw them down, and they pop back up. I feel like Heather is kind of like that now, but in Gucci.

SAG is kicking out hundreds of members today because the union charges actors dues that are based on how much you earn acting.

Little continued:

Right now, I owe about $2000. And as a working class actor in LA after COVID and two strikes and now the imminent threat of AI replacing everybody's jobs, there are no auditions. There are no parts There is nothing filming in L.A; it's really bleak.

Little then decided to make a big career choice, explaining:

And after a lot of introspection, I've just decided to pull back. I've decided not to pay my dues. And it does feel like a huge betrayal to myself and to this dream that I've poured so much into but unless the right opportunity comes along, I'm going to prioritize myself for now, and I encourage you to do the same.

Nicole Throws a ChelseaKat Party!

Nicole is trying to talk down Dani, who is horrified at the notion of her children being saddled with a bastard sibling with Hayley for a mother.

Just then, Anita calls them to attention saying they will not be wrecking Chelsea and Kat’s celebration with talk of this mess. With that, Madison takes the stage and offers up a toast to all the Dupree women.

Dani continues to drink when Nicole takes over and says their girls are on the way stardom and already representing Black excellence. Anita says Chelsea and Kat must hold themselves to a certain standard because of the family and mentions how Vernon is thrilled with their company’s name based on his nickname for them back in the day. Naomi notes the duo were always more like sisters than cousins. They all giggle when Kat and Chelsea agree there is no one, they would rather be in business with than each other.

Anita and Dani watch as he begins to strip before realizing they are not alone. Anita and Dani get gone before Nicole asks what is happening with him and his presentation.

Kial is embarrassed saying he will never be able to engage with Anita again. Nicole thinks his costume was either the worst or best thing she’s ever seen. He wonders if she wants him to walk the plank but Nicole has a better idea…

Hayley says when he realizes she is actually pregnant with his “big ass baby” he will be forced to deal with her. Just then, Eva and Izaiah arrive on the scene.

Eva goes off for a minute before Leslie informs her daughter Hayley is pregnant. Eva fears for this child as she knows how having an attempted murderer for a mother is not so easy. As they talk, Hayley undresses a bit in an attempt to attract Izaiah. She prances around him as he struggles to speak. As she continues, Leslie and Hayley saunter up. Eva and Izaiah get gone before Leslie stops her “bestie” in her tracks. She tells Eva not to EVER flirt with her daughter’s boyfriend again.

Leslie goes off on Hayley telling her not to play that delicate pregnancy bullsh** on her. Hayley pushy back when Leslie calls her a heifer as she knows exactly what game her “bestie” is playing. She says she took her under her wing when EVERYBODY shunned her, and she is now flirting it up with her daughter’s boyfriend. Leslie pushes back and tells Hayley any threat to her daughter will bring out the beast in her. Hayley faces Leslie as she points out, she is more lethal than Hayley ever thought about being. If she wants to remain her “bestie”, she will back off and back down! With that, she tells Hayley to move and walks away… in the background Naomi and Ashley are clearly impressed by the interaction.

They go back and forth a bit when Leslie threatens to pull back the rights to the use of her mama’s voice.

Later…

Hayley returns to her room at The Bowman to find Randy awaiting her return. They go back and forth about everything before Hayley assures her cousin her plan is working perfectly.

Bill and Dani continue their conversation about the maybe baby. Bill says he was a child who wasn’t wanted and can’t deal with bringing a child into the world who feels the same. He draws Dani’s concern to the surface when he says he will support his child up and down but will have nothing to do with raising it.
