New spoilers for Days of Our Lives, The Bold and the Beautiful, The Young and the Restless, and General Hospital tease intense storylines including custody battles, escapes, kidnappings, and family crises.

Days of Our Lives Key Plot Points
In Days of Our Lives, Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) confronts a devastating custody loss over his children Thomas and Charlotte amid tensions with Jennifer Horton (Cady McClain). Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) faces a bombshell accusation from Javi Hernandez (Al Calderon), while Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) is kidnapped from prison. Other developments include Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) comforting his daughter Rachel amid Marlena Evans' (Deidre Hall) health crisis, and Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) signing divorce papers with Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey). Actor changes are noted: Billy Flynn exits in early 2026, replaced by Connor Floyd as Chad, with Christopher Cary recast as Thomas.
The Bold and the Beautiful Exit Speculation
The Bold and the Beautiful explores Luna Nozawa's (Lisa Yamada) potential jaw-dropping exit following her escape from prison. Possible outcomes include recapture and long-term imprisonment, a tragic end in Malibu, presumed death with a later return, or a clean escape leading to future drama. Concerns arise over her pregnancy with Will Spencer's (Crew Morrow) child, with family members like Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda) and Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) involved in the search. Speculation includes intervention by attorney Jack Finnegan (Ted King) for exoneration or a reduced sentence, drawing parallels to past character leniencies.
The Young and the Restless Interpersonal Drama
The Young and the Restless features Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) on a ruthless rampage and a sinister snatch by Matt Clark (Roger Howarth). Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) and Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin) clear the air post-Los Angeles encounter, while Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) defends Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) against Newman schemes. Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) aids Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) remotely, and Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) flirts intensely with Cane. A kidnapping targets Sharon Newman (Sharon Case), with Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) in peril. Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian) and Christine Williams (Lauralee Bell)'s wedding includes special guests like Gina Roma (Patty Weaver). Thanksgiving preemptions limit episodes to three new ones.
General Hospital Investigations and Crises
General Hospital highlights Jen Sidwell's (Carlo Rota) fiery breakdown and Harrison Chase's (Josh Swickard) epic victory in cracking a case. Rocco Falceroni's (Finn Frances Carr) arrest stems from a lab break-in, sparking conflicts between Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) and Emma Scorpio-Drake (Brayden Bruner). Election drama unfolds for Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) against Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove), with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) lashing out at DA Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor). Chase pursues Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson)'s alibi involving Jacinda Bracken (Paige Herschell). Ned Quartermaine (Wally Kurth) faces a heart crisis, affecting Quartermaine holiday plans. Only three new episodes air during Thanksgiving week due to preemptions.
