Bold and the Beautiful 2-Week Spoilers Feb 9-20: Sheila Grows Suspicious While Will Reaches His Limit
Bold and the Beautiful 2-week spoilers for February 9 -20, 2026 suggest Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) is suspicious and Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) is disgusted.
Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Sheila Carter Suspicious
Monday, February 9th, we have Sheila trying to get romantic with Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan). It looks like she has a surprise for him, but I don’t see him getting intimate with Sheila because his heart now belongs to Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig). If Deacon is withholding intimacy when they’ve had such an active bedroom life, Sheila is going to get increasingly suspicious.
Kimberlin Brown did a recent interview and said that what happens when Sheila finds out about Deacon and Taylor is going to be really big. She says fans will not want to change the channel, and I am here for it. Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) orders Deacon to stay away from Taylor.
Although he doesn’t owe him anything, Deacon tries to explain to Ridge that he is deeply in love with Taylor and can’t stop seeing her. Ridge insists that it’s over between them and tells Deacon to stay away. After Deacon takes off, Taylor gets her two cents in with her ex.
She puts Ridge firmly in his place and tells him that after all the disappointment she’s experienced, this is real. They lift each other up, even though Ridge acts like Taylor is being ridiculous.
Taylor tells him she has been asking for and wanting this kind of commitment for years. Ridge is stunned because she now believes she has that with Deacon. She doesn’t care how Ridge feels about it and tells her ex that he doesn’t get to tell her who to love.
B&B Spoilers: Carter Walton’s Best Man and Daphne Rose’s Disco Bachelorette Party
Tuesday, February 10th, Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) asks Ridge if he will be the best man at his wedding. Ridge will likely say yes. This week, we will see Ridge and Carter hanging out and talking in the CEO office at Forrester. This seems to be in lieu of a bachelor party—just the two of them hanging out as best friends. They are also going to be talking in the Forrester Creations showroom, which is where we’re going to see the wedding.
Plus, Taylor and Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) are hosting a surprise disco bridal shower for Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) at the Malibu house. We’re going to see two hunky guys doing disco dancing. Those two are from Dancing with the Stars, by the way. Daphne, Steffy, Taylor, and Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis) are all going to be partying at Daphne’s bachelorette party.
They are all going to be dancing with these guys, who are looking very good. The ladies toast to Daphne and share some sweet moments. Steffy tells Daphne she’s going to make the most beautiful bride, and they prepare for the wedding over at Steffy’s place.
Will Discovers Ivy’s Blackmail and Dylan’s Secret Job on Bold and the Beautiful
On Wednesday, February 11th, Will is in complete shock when he finds out the actual reason Melissa Dylan (Sydney Bullock) moved out of the guest house at his beach house. It turns out Ivy Forrester (Ashleigh Brewer) told her to leave. Meanwhile, Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone) gives Dylan a job at Il Giardino.
Dylan is working and winds up talking to Deke and Will out in the alley by the dumpster. And Dylan is upset when Will confronts her about lying about having a new job and leaving Los Angeles. Dylan was cornered, blackmailed, and trashed by Ivy, which forced her into lying. She’s going to have a breakdown, and I think she’s going to confess everything to Will.
B&B Spoilers: Carter and Daphne’s Runway Wedding at Forrester Creations
Meanwhile, Carter and Daphne’s wedding kicks off at Forrester Creations in the showroom. They are going to walk down the aisle on the runway on Thursday, February 12th. Daphne and Carter say their “I do’s” and are officially hitched. Zende Forrester Dominguez (Delon de Metz) will officiate the wedding, followed by a reception.
After that, it is time for the couple to start their family. Several couples will be there, including Steffy and Finn (Tanner Novlan), Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge, and Donna and Eric Forrester (John McCook). I did not see Taylor in any wedding photos even though she was at the bachelorette party.
Also, Donna may be in a tough spot because Ridge may take some cheap shots at Logan and diss Katie Logan’s (Heather Tom) fashion house while they’re all together. Her lead designer, Eric, is sitting right there. He may have to bite his tongue to keep from spilling the beans that he is Katie’s lead designer if Ridge starts running his mouth again.

Ivy’s Lies Lead to Electra Forrester’s Ultimatum for Will on Bold and the Beautiful
Friday, February 13th, Daphne and Carter are husband and wife. They’re honeymooning, hitting the sheets, and they want to start a family immediately. Ivy, meanwhile, tells Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) what she supposedly saw going on between Will and Dylan. Ivy didn’t actually see what she thought she saw. So, she gives a heavily interpreted version of things.
We’ll see Will, Dylan, and Electra all at Will’s house as Ivy tells her skewed story. She tells Electra she didn’t want her to find out what Will and Dylan are doing. But says it’s time the truth came out. Electra takes this all in hook, line, and sinker. After Ivy tells her tale, Electra hits Will with an ultimatum. She may tell him to stay away from Dylan or their relationship is over.
Will is not going to appreciate their attitudes or their lack of charity. I expect him to be disgusted with the accusations against him. Electra knows Will slept with Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada) while he was drunk, so there is a history of dishonesty, but Will is going to be really bothered by the implication that he’s been unfaithful with Dylan.
Liam Spencer’s Struggles with Eric’s Secret and Sheila’s Growing Suspicion on B&B
The week of February 16th through the 20th, Carter and Daphne settle into married life. We’ll see if they get a honeymoon; they should definitely go to France to visit Daphne’s family. Will is going to reply to Electra’s ultimatum. Ivy and Electra both seem to think they are in charge of what goes on at Will’s house.
I’m interested to see if he turns to his mom, Katie, for advice, as she was supportive of him offering charity to Dylan. We’re also going to see Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) struggling to keep Eric’s secret from Hope Logan (Annika Noelle). Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) was very insistent that Liam can’t tell Hope or Brooke.
To get the most return on investment, they want to make a big splash in the press. The success of the launch hinges on keeping it a secret that Eric is the lead designer. However, I feel like Liam is going to crack and tell Hope. Taylor and Deacon aren’t going to be able to stay away from each other despite Steffy and Ridge clamping down with threats.
Sheila gets increasingly suspicious of Deacon’s actions and starts snooping because he keeps going missing to spend with Taylor for “therapy sessions.” Plus, Will may have harsh words for Ivy for stalking and overblowing things, especially after she blackmailed a homeless girl.
Ridge and Steffy continue to stress over Taylor and Deacon, while Brooke may have a difference of opinion. Eric and Katie remain hard at work at Logan, and Bill keeps plotting against Ridge. Finally, we may see RJ Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti) asking Dylan out soon. The drama’s picking up!

Lady Gaga Thanks Bad Bunny for Super Bowl 2026 Halftime Show Guest Spot
Lady Gaga is expressing her gratitude to Bad Bunny for letting her be part of his record-breaking Super Bowl LX halftime show performance.
“Thank you Benito for including me in this powerful, important, and meaningful performance,” Gaga, 39, wrote via Instagram on Monday, February 9, alongside a photo of the Joker star and Bad Bunny, 31, behind the scenes of Super Bowl 60. “I am so humbled to be a part of this moment.”
The singer continued, “It’s all the more special because it was with you and your beautiful heart and music. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ All my love to Benito, Ricky and the whole cast.”
Gaga (real name Stefani Germanotta) also shared her appreciation for her stylists Chloe Delgadillo and Chenelle Delgadillo, thanking the pair for her “beautiful styling and fashion.”
“All of your talent and love made that beautiful dress come to life,” she added.
Gaga was one of Bad Bunny’s surprise guests during the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday, February 8, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, as the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots faced off in the NFL championship. (The Seahawks walked away Super Bowl champs for the second time in the franchise’s history.)
The Grammy winner joined the rapper on stage to perform a solo version of her and Bruno Mars’ duet “Die With a Smile.” The arrangement was changed to give the song an appropriate salsa flair. The singer also paid homage to Bad Bunny’s Puerto Rican heritage by donning a blue pleated dress with a brooch featuring Puerto Rico’s national flower, the flor de maga.
While on stage, Gaga and Bad Bunny (real name Benito Martínez Ocasio) shared a sweet dance. In addition to Gaga, Ricky Martin sang during the halftime show. Meanwhile, Pedro Pascal, Karol G, Alix Earle, Cardi B and Jessica Alba all made cameos during the La Casita portion of the performance, a recurring symbol in Bad Bunny’s tour and Puerto Rico residency.
Days before their Super Bowl, Gaga and Bad Bunny shared a sweet interaction at the 2026 Grammys. After Bad Bunny won the award for Best Música Urbana Album, Gaga came up to the rapper to speak to him. After the ceremony, Bad Bunny shared details about the pair’s interaction.
“She said, ‘I love you!’ And that’s it,” Bad Bunny told Access Hollywood about crossing paths with Gaga at the awards show. “And I was like, ‘I love you too!’”
Bad Bunny and Gaga’s history dates back way before they shared the Super Bowl LX stage. In 2020, Bad Bunny revealed he was a big fan of Gaga’s music after he was spotted wearing a T-shirt featuring the pop star’s Chromatica cover art.
“That album makes me feel more happy,” Bad Bunny told E! News of his Chromatica fandom at the time. “When she dropped that album, I was in a really good moment, enjoying my life. I love that album.”
Four years later, Gaga shared that she was also a big fan of Bad Bunny and dreamed of working with him one day.
“I’m actually a very big Bad Bunny fan,” she told Despierta América in September 2024. “Yes, I love Bad Bunny. If he wants to [work together], of course. I would love to.”

Candace Cameron Bure Recalls Her Kids’ Reactions To Sex Conversation

The star explained during this week’s episode of her podcast “The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast” that she had a very open conversation with her kids about sex as soon as they got older.
Cameron Bure noted that she may have left them a bit uncomfortable all the time with these discussions, but every chance she got, she spoke about it.
Despite their reaction, the star noted that she enjoyed discussing sex with them because she wanted to pass a message of her being a very safe space with such a sensitive topic.
Cameron Bure stressed that she made these talks as fun as possible, and she was very comfortable discussing them to cushion any feeling of embarrassment or shame in those conversations. In her words:

“I think that shame can start very much with that if we’re not really told about our bodies and how they function, how they work, what they’re made for. How God views them. When there’s a misunderstanding there, that can very much develop our view of shame, and when we feel that way.”

The Actress Was Beyond Excited To Co-Plan Her Only Daughter’s Wedding Last Year
Cameron Bure welcomed three kids with her husband, Valeri Bure, one of whom got married in September, over a year after one of her sons tied the knot in January 2024. The actress had raved to US Weekly about being very hands-on during her daughter’s wedding last September.
According to her, her daughter, Natasha, did not have a wedding coordinator, forcing her to step in and become the person who got to listen to her ideas and actualize them, which she found very fun as they got ready for her big day.
The actress had gushed about her kids and their dating lives a few years back, noting that she feels super great about the dating, because she trusts them enough not to make terrible decisions.

Inside Candace Cameron Bure’s Happy Family Of Five
According to PEOPLE, the latest bride in the family, and Cameron Bure’s oldest child, Natasha Valerievna, was welcomed in August 1998 and quietly tailed behind her mom into stardom by appearing on the 11th season of ‘The Voice’ at age 17.
She was chosen to be mentored by Adam Levine, but unfortunately dropped from the race two performances in. Natasha described her audition as grabbing the opportunity before her while getting a good experience out of the growth.
She has since channeled that energy into appearances in some Hallmark Channel movies, one episode of “Fuller House,” and an “Aurora Teagarden Mysteries” production alongside her mother.
Natasha described her marriage in 2025 as a reminder of how blessed she is to be marrying her best friend, which is also surreal and overwhelming in all the best ways.
The actress welcomed her second child, Lev Valerievich, in 2000 and quickly got involved in the family business, the Bure Family Wines, which was founded in 2006. Cameron Bure revealed in a 2021 interview that he lived in Napa Valley and was a third-year student at Liberty University.
Lev tied the knot with Elliot Dunham in 2024, according to pictures from the actress’s social media account, where she raved about the family gaining a beautiful daughter and a wonderful family to do life with.

Cameron Bure and her husband expanded their family with Maksin Valerievich’s birth in 2002, who attended the Northstar Christian Academy and graduated in May 2021. He also attended Liberty University and played hockey like his dad during his first year.
The Author Revealed How Her First Son Saved Her Nearly Three-Decade-Old Marriage

Last year, the 49-year-old confessed on her podcast that 2020, during the pandemic, was a very trying season for her marriage to Valeri as things went very downhill with their marriage, and she did not think they would make it. Valeri and the Hollywood personality tied the knot in 1996 when she was just 20 years old.
As shared by The Blast, Cameron Bure noted that her first son, Lev, swung in just in time to salvage their dwindling union with a very 45-minute address from his Bible during a session where they talked about faith and marital values.
The media personality stated that her son admitted that, despite his not being married at the time and being super young to give marriage advice, he could still hear the word of God about his parents and their marriage.
Article continues below advertisement
Cameron Bure explained that her son’s maturity and calmness joined forces with the wisdom of his words, and they walked away from the conversation with a fresh perspective to put in more work in their marriage and make things work.
However, Lev did not take the credit alone. He revealed on the podcast with his mother that he, alongside his siblings, actually had a crucial discussion about the whole thing and concluded that they want more than anything for their parents to be together.
Candace Cameron Bure’s Strategy For Dealing With Internet Trolls

The podcaster stated last November that she is no longer about defending herself against internet trolls moving forward, after a lengthy history of being involved in scandals over social issues and politics over the years.
The Blast stated that during her appearance on Madison Prewett’s “Stay True” podcast, she described the few feuds she had gotten into in recent years as just weird.
She emphasized that it is also very rare to see her fight back in the comment section because it gets defensive and also reflects poorly on her integrity. The star announced that the new space she operates in mostly involves leaving her battles for God to fight.

Cameron Bure added that she also leans on her genuine fans to fight her battles because sometimes they help her clear the wrong narrative and set facts straight in the face of lies. Alongside these factors, she also thanked her self-reflection for teaching her to give grace to other people as well.

Tracy Scroggins, Longtime NFL Player, Dead At 56
Tracy Scroggins, who spent all 10 seasons of his career as a member of the Detroit Lions, has died at 56 years old, TMZ Sports has learned.
“It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Tracy Scroggins,” the Scroggins family said in a statement sent to us.
“Tracy was a devoted father, cherished family member, and loyal friend whose life was marked by remarkable strength and perseverance. While many knew him for his career as a professional football player in the NFL, those closest to him knew him as a kind-hearted and generous man who cared deeply for his family and friends.”
The family continued … “Playing in the NFL gave Tracy the opportunity to pursue his lifelong dream and to rise from poverty. However, unfortunately, the NFL was also ultimately the cause of his untimely demise. Tracy spent every moment of retirement courageously battling the devastating effects of CTE. While our hearts are heavy, we find comfort in knowing that he is finally at peace.”
Back in 1992, Scroggins, a linebacker and defensive end, was a 2nd round draft pick out of Tulsa, where he went 53rd overall.
Over the course of his time in the National Football League, he accumulated 321 tackles and 60.5 sacks. He also had one interception.
Scroggins retired from football in 2001 after 142 games played.
In 2016, he filed a lawsuit against the NFL, alleging CTE.
The cause and circumstances surrounding Scroggins’ death aren’t clear.

Netflix’s Intense 2-Part Pure Thriller Series Is the Perfect Weekend Binge
David Fincher’s deal with Netflix has not always yielded the fanfare he was accustomed to with theatrical releases, but some ventures produced the best thrillers of all time. Crime has been a brand that works for the director, going back as far as the ‘90s. Adaptations have been in Fincher’s sweet spot, gaining appreciation for thrillers such as Zodiac and Gone Girl. He reaches even greater heights in the television world.
Fincher used his considerable talents to bring John E. Douglas’ autobiographical book, Mindhunter: Inside the FBI’s Elite Serial Crime Unit, to Netflix. The result was Mindhunter, arguably one of the most celebrated original series from the streaming platform. It was also the series that broke fans’ hearts the most. Typical of Fincher’s style, Mindhunter was visually glossy while emotionally gritty. It had everything going for it, which made it all the more heartbreaking when it was pushed into Netflix limbo after two seasons.
‘Mindhunter’ Was Prestige Television at Its Best
Mindhunter had the unfortunate luck of premiering on Netflix. On any other platform, it may have reached the audience it needed to. Though the crime series has a loyal fan base, the viewership wasn’t enough for the streamer to justify its budget. For two seasons, however, Mindhunter redefined what fans could expect from a true crime series.
The show was a heightened interpretation of John E. Douglas’ book, while also strikingly close to reality. Jonathan Groff stars as Holden Ford, the fictionalized version of Douglas, who was a significant part of creating the psychological profiling department of the FBI. A hostage negotiator for the Bureau, Holden becomes dismayed at how crime in the modern era has become so grim. The rise of serial and spree killers baffles law enforcement, which leads Holden to collaborate with Bill Tench (Holt McCallany) in creating a new way of catching killers. With the help of Dr. Wendy Carr (Anna Torv), the team decides to interview convicted killers to create a psychological profile. The Silence of the Lambs writer, Thomas Harris, used Douglas as inspiration for his FBI director character, Jack Crawford.
Mindhunter takes this a step further and grounds the story in reality. The first season portrays the creation of the FBI profiling program and the real killers they interview. Edmund Kemper, Jerry Brudos, and David Berkowitz were some of the many real-life figures who were brought to life with harrowing accuracy. Holden risks a lot to get close to these killers — closer than anyone ever had before. Mindhunter examines how dangerously close Holden gets to these people, particularly Kemper, who acts as a terrifying foil for the FBI agent.
The series resists sensationalizing true crime as so many series have before. Instead, it focuses on ethical and character-driven dilemmas as the profilers enter a new world of crime that is more intense than it has been before. Mindhunter isn’t about putting killers on a pedestal. It shows them unflinchingly, which doesn’t elevate them but demonstrates what monsters they are. The authentic emotion and hyperrealism made Mindhunter unlike anything before, and it has not been replicated since.

The Iconic, R-Rated 90s Video Game That’s Screaming For A Film Adaptation
By Robert Scucci
| Published

If you grew up in the 90s playing first-person shooters on MS-DOS, you probably have fond memories of sneaking in sessions of Duke Nukem 3D. While we never had gaming consoles in my household, my parents had no qualms about me playing PC games like Doom, Quake, and Wolfenstein. For reasons I will never fully understand, Super Mario Bros. was forbidden fare, but blasting space demons and zombies with rocket launchers and mowing down Nazis with machine guns was considered a perfectly acceptable way to spend a rainy afternoon.
I think the real reason was that my parents did not want to spend money on a console when we already had a perfectly good computer sitting in the family room. In retrospect, I kind of respect that decision. It meant I had access to adventure puzzle games like The Seventh Guest and Myst, along with the above-mentioned shooters that were absolutely not meant for kids my age.

In 1996, Duke Nukem 3D was everywhere, and I remember watching my dad get hooked on it one weekend in his office. I could hear explosions and laughter through the door, which naturally made me curious. That was my introduction to a game that was wildly inappropriate for a kid, but I was lucky enough to have parents who let me watch R-rated action movies as long as we talked about why certain behaviors on screen were not meant to be copied in real life.
That brings me to the real heart of this article. Why, in the year 2026, do we still not have a Duke Nukem movie? The property feels tailor-made for an R-rated action comedy. It is violent, self-aware, and ridiculous. There are strippers and aliens, pigs dressed as cops, lizard troopers, and catchphrases pulled straight from films like Aliens, Dirty Harry, They Live, Jaws, and Pulp Fiction. Duke Nukem 3D is routinely cited as one of the greatest video games ever made, and the franchise reportedly generated well over a billion dollars by the early 2000s. A faithful adaptation would go absolutely gangbusters.
A Simple Yet Effective Action Hero

A movie based on the Duke Nukem character would not be difficult to pull off because the story is intentionally lean. Duke arrives in Los Angeles aboard his space cruiser, ready for a much-needed vacation. His ship gets shot down by aliens who have invaded and taken over the city, and he is understandably irritated about having to clean up their mess. Armed with his Mighty Foot and an arsenal that includes shotguns, triple-barrelled chain guns, grenade launchers, and pipe bombs, Duke tears through Assault Troopers, Pig Cops, Battlelord Sentries, and Enforcers.
What truly sets Duke Nukem 3D apart from its contemporaries is how interactive the environments are. Duke crawls through air vents, blows apart buildings by hitting detonation switches that are just laying around willy-nilly, kicks fire hydrants and drinks from water fountains to power up, and even tips strippers for a quick show before getting back to work. It is juvenile, excessive, and completely unapologetic. When Duke says he is here to kick ass and chew bubblegum, a quote attributed to Roddy Piper in They Live!, he means it.

The amount of controversy the game attracted from special interest groups over its content is exactly why Duke Nukem would thrive as an R-rated action comedy today. With the right creative team attached, the tone does not need to be reinvented or overhauled at all.
Attempts Have Been Made
There has never been a shortage of interest in bringing Duke Nukem to the big screen. As early as 2001, when the franchise was riding high, Threshold Entertainment attempted to get a feature film off the ground, but it never made it out of development. Another effort surfaced in 2008 from Max Payne producer Scott Faye, though that version stalled just as quickly.

The closest we came to a Duke Nukem movie was in 2018, when Paramount Pictures and Platinum Dunes were having discussions with John Cena to take on the lead role. It was a near-perfect casting choice, but the rights were in transition at the time, and the project was quietly shelved.
The most recent development came in 2022, when Legendary Entertainment announced that it had acquired the rights to produce a Duke Nukem film, with Cobra Kai creators Josh Heald and Jon Hurwitz attached. Since then, updates have been scarce, which unfortunately feels par for the course for this franchise.

If it takes another five years for anything concrete to happen, so be it. I just hope Cena is still able to step into the role. Projects like Ricky Stanicky have already proven that his comedic timing is a perfect match for a character like Duke Nukem. The image of him kicking a fire hydrant for health before tossing a pipe bomb into a movie theater and getting frisky with the ladies deserves to exist outside of my imagination.
What this movie needs is simple. Enemies that respawn endlessly, one-liners delivered without restraint, and waves of identical henchmen getting obliterated as Duke reluctantly fights his way back to vacation. This does not need to be high art. It needs to be an ultra-violent alien invasion, solved by the coolest video game character to ever appear on a computer screen.

‘The Rookie’ Season 8 Episode 6 Is Teasing the Dangerous Return of a Chilling Serial Killer
Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for The Rookie Season 8, Episode 6.
The latest episode of ABC’s The Rookie opens up with Celina Juarez (Lisseth Chavez) and Miles Penn (Deric Augustine) heading to a crystal shop a few days before Valentine’s Day. It’s so much fun to see this budding friendship between the new roommates, and the focus on Celina’s mystical beliefs is always entertaining to me. But instead of just stocking up on crystals, Miles accidentally gets a curse placed on him when he stands in front of a disgruntled customer. Celina feels guilty about ducking the spell and allowing the curse to land smack-dab on Miles and the man (who eventually dies in a pretty shocking way), but what makes the episode so captivating is the idea that Miles now has a target on his back, straight from the universe itself. He endures pepper-spraying himself and spider bites (which he’s allergic to), but by the episode’s end, it’s no laughing matter when Miles actually comes close to death.
‘The Rookie’ Presents a Villainous Arsonist, Leading to Serious Danger for Our Crew
While Miles and John Nolan (Nathan Fillion) are on duty, they notice a swan boat on fire in the middle of the lake. Bailey Nune (Jenna Dewan) shows up and identifies that it was a case of arson. This is another time when Bailey somehow inexplicably takes on a new job as an arson investigator and proceeds to tell the cops exactly how to move forward with their investigation. Not only is this incredibly unlikely, but it results in these scenes feeling way more cheesy. The cops also learn that a dry cleaning store has been targeted, leading them to realize that the arson is playing off a theme of Swan Lake. The gang then identifies a possible suspect as Arnold McKenna, but he insists he has an alibi.
Through some detective work, the Mid-Wilshire crew realizes that McKenna actually has a protégé named Mandy Fisk. Firebug Mandy, along with her girlfriend, was setting the fires together as a way to flirt. In a wild escalation, Lucy Chen (Melissa O’Neil) and Celina almost hit a man who runs into their shop. As he walks away, we realize it’s McKenna, and he’s placed an explosive under their vehicle. They park like normal in the station, when suddenly, there’s a humongous explosion. There’s fire everywhere, and multiple injured cops. Celina has a piece of glass in her arm, but she and Lucy are able to rescue as many people as they can, like Nyla Harper (Mekia Cox), who’s trapped under some rubble. Lucy also saves her boyfriend, Tim Bradford (Eric Winter), and Celina rescues Miles, who is almost a goner because of the curse. Luckily, everyone is going to be okay, and McKenna is arrested when he shows up at the hospital. And to everyone’s relief, Celina’s boyfriend, Rodge Bronson (Zander Hawley), pays the crystal shop woman so the curse can be lifted, and everything can go back to normal.
‘The Rookie’s Latest Episode Proves This Character Never Should’ve Left
We never should have let him go.
‘The Rookie’ Season 8, Episode 6 Sets Up Glasser Possibly Being Freed
Last season, we were introduced to one of the creepiest villains ever on The Rookie. Liam Glasser (Seth Gabel) is a tried-and-true serial killer, but it’s looking possible that he might be a free man soon. Nyla is required to sit for a deposition for the case, but from the beginning, Wesley Evers (Shawn Ashmore) warns Nyla that she’ll have to be perfect in order to win against Glasser’s impressive attorney. Nyla’s words end up getting twisted around, so it sounds like she somehow used intimidation and framing techniques while going after Glasser during the initial investigation. By the end of the deposition, Nyla has seemingly done more harm than good. But that’s not the worst part: Wesley admits that it’s mandatory for him to now report Nyla for her less-than-savory police tactics. This causes a conflict between his wife, Angela Lopez (Alyssa Diaz), who wants to defend her friend. But Wesley points out that he might lose at trial because of Nyla’s actions.
At a DA campaign event for Wesley, one of the parents of Glasser’s victims shows up, disappointed that he’s not getting justice for his child. He runs at Wesley with a knife, but is quickly disarmed (showing that Wesley has picked up a thing or two from Angela). On the bright side, a video of Wesley’s takedown goes viral, providing his campaign with a boost. However, it’s not like everyone should be celebrating just yet. The fact that Glasser might walk is incredibly terrifying, especially because he’s one of the most brutal villains The Rookie has had. Plus, he has a major bone to pick with Nyla, since she’s the one who got him locked up. I’m seriously concerned about her safety going forward, but this is setting up an intriguing storyline that I’m excited to see play out.
There Are Lots of Valentine’s Day Shenanigans in This Week’s Episode of ‘The Rookie’
For some more light-hearted fare, The Rookie also gives us a few Valentine’s Day storylines this week. The main plot is Chenford stressing about what gifts to give each other. Tim’s sister, Genny (Peyton List), tries to help both of them, but I was a bit confused about why she shows up in this particular episode. Ultimately, through a lot of struggles, Chenford’s presents to each other are special and continue to allow the couple to move forward in a healthy way. We also see some developments with Celina’s love life. Rodge has finally returned from his music tour, but Celina accidentally sends the wrong signals to the TID agent (Jorge Diaz) from last week’s episode. He thinks that Celina asks him out, but is promptly struck down (after trying to kiss her), when Celina explains that she’s got a boyfriend. I thought that maybe this guy was going to boot Rodge out, but it seems like The Rookie is deciding to keep this romance going for now.
In more happy couple news, by the episode’s end, Bailey and Nolan make up after their serious fight. Bailey says that she’s giving up on the DC idea, apologizes, and states that Nolan is the love of her life. But Nolan knows how much the job would mean to her, and says firmly that she should take the job. I’m still really hoping that Bailey takes the offer, since her character makes no sense lately. But we’ll have to see where the couple’s path heads next.
New episodes of The Rookie air on Monday nights on ABC, with episodes available to stream on Hulu in the U.S.

General Hospital 2-Week Spoilers Feb 9-20: Portia Drops Shocking Baby News & BLQ Unleashes Her Fury
General Hospital 2-week spoilers for February 9 -20, 2026 reveal Portia Robinson‘s (Brook Kerr) baby bombshell and Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) raging about something.
General Hospital Spoilers: Valentin & Carly Plot and Gio Comforts Emma
On Monday, February 9th, we are going to see Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) telling Carly Corinthos Spencer (Laura Wright) that she always knows the right buttons to push. Of course, they’re talking about Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). They’re concerned about a lot of stuff right now.
Emma Scorpio-Drake (Brayden Bruner) gets some comfort from Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) when she’s back from France. Emma tells Gio that she had to leave her grandmother Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) behind, and Emma is very upset. She says she lost the grandmother that she knew, and Gio is there for her. Poor Anna has just been gaslit out of her mind.
Plus, Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) tells Ava Jerome (Maura West) she knows exactly what she’s selling, and it certainly is an art. Lucy and Ava are going to get into it over Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota), which is what Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) was hoping would happen, and it looks like that’s manifesting.
GH Spoilers: Port Charles Police Commissioner Shakeups and Faison’s Return
Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) tells Mac Scorpio (John J. York) and Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) that Anna is not going to be coming back as police commissioner. Dante gets an offer also on Monday, and it may be to make his interim role permanent so that he stays on as police commissioner.
Plus, Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) has reason to be alarmed, and Felicia Scorpio (Kristina Wagner) is going to tell Jason that Anna had a message for him – Cesar Faison (Anders Hove) is alive. This was part of the reason that she’s been on high alert. She and Jason had debated it, and then Anna disappeared for a while.
Something has Jack skeptical while something shocks Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy), and both of these may be about Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) and Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud). Tuesday, February 10th, we have Carly offering Valentin something, and it may be some additional help.
Maybe it’s to stay as long as he needs to since nobody has come looking for him and he’s getting comfortable in her attic. Plus, Danny Morgan (Asher Jared Antonyzyn) gets creative about something, and this may be helping Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke) sneak out again to go see Valentin.
General Hospital Spoilers: Lucy Vows Vengeance and Alexis Reveals Major News for Jason
Plus, Lucy is out for vengeance. I’m sure this is on Ava, who may embarrass Lucy in front of Sidwell. I don’t think Ava’s going to take it well that Lucy basically said she was a hooker. You know, that’s not a very nice comment she was making. Sidwell is about to have his hands full with these two.
Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) has some information for Jason. Alexis may be telling him that right now Scout Cain (Cosette Abinante) is staying with her and Danny can see his sister, which would be a huge step forward.
Plus, Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) helps a very upset Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) see things differently. He’s upset about Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos) and her novel and the way she was talking about the cowboy character. Hopefully, Tracy can convince Cody to calm down, talk to Molly about this, and reconcile with her.
Portia’s Paternity Test Results and Kirsten Storms Returns to GH as Maxie Jones
On Wednesday, February 11th, we’ve got Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) grilling Joss. We could see Trina asking where Josslyn was during the blizzard. I wonder if she’ll try to tell a partial truth and admit that she went out to Wyndemere to see Lucas Jones (Van Hansis), but then he wasn’t there.
Sonny’s giving somebody advice, and I wonder if Dante has told him he’s been offered the police commissioner job. He’s worried about what’s going on with Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson), which of course Sonny’s on top of. He’s going to try to frame somebody else for the shooting.
Plus, Lucas gets a shock. That could be from anybody—his boyfriend Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo), Britt, or Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen). Somebody gets Charlotte thinking, and we’ll see if it’s Danny. Maybe it’s about Valentin. Hopefully, it’s not about Danny and Charlotte kissing again. They’re cousins, second cousins, but still. Ew. And Jason gives somebody a warning. Maybe that’s going to be Britt, Michael, or Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard).
General Hospital Spoilers: Portia Delivers Big News – DNA Results are In!
Thursday, February 12th, we’ve got Portia giving somebody some big news. I wonder if she’s going to go ahead and do the paternity test because she knows Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) isn’t going to stop badgering her until she does it. The question is, of course, who’s the daddy. With big news, that sounds kind of positive, so maybe it’s Dr. Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson).
Meanwhile, Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) and Curtis are discussing their future. I guess we’ll find out soon if a baby is going to be part of it, which is the last thing Portia wants because she does not want Jordan raising any child of hers. Gio gets some advice from Brook Lynn, and this may be about how to support Emma while she’s going through these issues with her grandma Anna.
Plus, Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) goes looking for Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening). I wonder if Nathan is going to tell her that they should move forward and shouldn’t ignore their feelings. We may see more kisses soon. That same day, of course, is when Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) wakes up, which means things are going to get really good from now until the end of sweeps on February 25th. This is Kirsten Storms‘ first episode back to General Hospital.

Willow’s Dark Secret Exposed and Brook Lynn Confronts Harrison Chase on GH
Friday, February 13th, Brook Lynn is not holding back. She goes off on somebody, and I suspect it might be Chase. She may have reached her limit with his constant defense of Willow. And now that Willow’s been acquitted, it’s more than that. Chase is determined to prove that Michael shot Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison).
I wonder if Wiley Quartermaine Corinthos (Viron Weaver) might bust Chase to his wife and say that he saw him with his dad Michael’s keys. Britt is in for a shock from Nathan. I wonder if he’s going to admit his feelings for Lulu, which might make Britt’s head explode. We’ve also not really seen Nathan and Britt alone since he came back.
I wonder if we’re going to get some more hints that she has known about his location and what’s been going on with him for these past seven years. Felicia and Damian Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) make an important decision. I’m sure it’s about Maxie. Maybe it’s to go ahead and bring her back to Port Charles.
It could be to warn her that Nathan is suddenly back from the dead. Plus, Michael surprises Jacinda Bracken (Paige Herschell) with a Valentine’s Day date, and they are definitely going to keep heating up. Plus, Lucas opens up to Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) on Friday, and it may be some concerns about Marco.
General Hospital February Sweeps: Maxie Learns Nathan West Is Alive
The week of February 16th through the 20th, we’re going to have Willow continue to drug a terrified Drew. He is right to be terrified. We do know from a recent interview with Katelyn MacMullen that Willow is going to get busted. Not right away, but we’ll see if it happens by the end of sweeps. The actress said when she’s caught out, it is going to be the worst moment of her life. Now the question is: is she busted for everything at once—shooting Drew, drugging Drew, and setting up Michael—or do things come out a little at a time?
Maxie has to adjust to coming back from this coma and finding out that Nathan is alive. Spinelli is obviously going to be there supporting her, but they do have to warn her because as soon as she sees James West (Gary James Fuller), he’s going to mention that he finally got to meet his dad. Nevertheless, Maxie’s family is thrilled, especially James and Georgie Spinelli (Lily Fisher). We should see more of the kids, and I’m personally really glad to have Kirsten Storms back.
Lulu & Nathan Struggle on General Hospital
Lulu and Nathan are going to struggle with their feelings now that Maxie is awake. But as long as she sticks with Spinelli reasonably, they can move forward. Maxie still might have some feelings about it. Michael proves that he’s all in with Jacinda but the PCPD is investigating him and things could get awkward.
Wiley may rat out Chase, Gio is there to support Emma, and Jason needs a vial of Britt’s meds ASAP for Brick (Stephen A. Smith) to reverse engineer them, but Cullum’s got them under wraps. We’ll see what kind of plan they have to get the medication.
Anna continues to struggle, and it may be a while before she’s back in Port Charles. Joss may be in danger from Cullum. Carly and Valentin’s friendship keeps growing, and Sonny is working overtime to protect Michael.
