The Week of March 16, 2026
On BTG, it’s well known that Nicole (Daphnée Duplaix) is dating two men. Look for both of them to reprise their roles on Monday, March 16. Robert Christopher Riley’s Carlton will lock horns with Greg Vaughan’s Kial…again. Vaughan will also appear on Wednesday, March 18, when Kial makes a surprising move.
Meanwhile, the spoilers suggest that wedding drama starts to kick in on Monday. Since Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantlla) and Madison are the ones getting married, it could mean Kenjah will again appear. And keep an eye out for guest star Shaquita Smith, who will be on hand to play a wedding event planner named Bijou.

Smith is best known for starring in the supernatural drama Wicked City, which is currently streaming on AllBlk and AMC+. Her TV credits also include Survivor’s Remorse, NCIS: New Orleans, and New Amsterdam.
On Tuesday, March 17, Kat (Colby Muhammad) doles out some warnings to Lami’s Izaiah. And a relative of Ernestine Johnson’s, Shanice, returns: it’s the supervising nurse’s favorite aunt, Monica. Iona Morris Jackson, who once played Tamara Tunie’s sister on As the World Turns, is back as the Houston-based oncologist who recently grilled Ted (Keith D. Robinson) to see if he was good enough for her niece.
