It’s been months since Mariah (Camryn Grimes) came back to Genoa City with A BIG HONKING SECRET (TM). She told Tessa (Cait Fairbanks) something about a mysterious man (Michael Swan), drinks, a hotel room, and sitting in the dark with a pillow. She said she tried to kill him. Then wouldn’t say anything more.
Mariah left Tessa and Aria to check into a clinic. Tessa needed to know exactly what had happened, so she and Daniel went to Los Angeles, where they discovered something about a mysterious man, drinks, a hotel room, and sitting in the dark with a pillow. It was a very productive trip. By which we mean they learned nothing new whatsoever.
So now Tessa is trying again. By going straight to the source. She wants to confront Mariah and get her to admit exactly what she did and why that’s keeping her from her family. But what if all Mariah wants to talk about is something about a mysterious man, drinks, a hotel room, and sitting in the dark with a pillow? How much longer must Tessa wait? How much longer must we?
I am Woman, Hear Me Roar
Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) is smart. Nikki is strong. Nikki is independent, and Nikki is fierce. Except when it comes to Victor (Eric Braeden). Then it’s, “Yes, darling,” and “No, darling,” and “You are so right, darling,” and “Anything you say, darling.”
Nikki doesn’t like how Victor is treating the man who saved her life, Jack (Peter Bergman, who is a 2025 Daytime Emmy nominee). Nikki doesn’t like how Victor is treating the father of their grandchildren, Billy (Jason Thompson). Heck, Nikki often doesn’t like how Victor treats their own children, Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and Nicholas (Joshua Morrow). She doesn’t do anything about it, naturally. She lets Victor make all her decisions.
But what if even Nikki has finally had enough? What if Nikki is finally ready to do what she thinks is right — no matter what Victor has to say about it?
Some Son’s Secrets
Sharon (Sharon Case) called Nick from LA, hysterical that Noah (Lucas Adams) had been in a car accident. But is there more to their son’s misfortune than just the Newman children’s inability to drive safely?
Noah has gotten himself into a bit of trouble on the West Coast. And Sharon and Nick are about to come face-to-face with it…
