General Hospital puts Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) and Ava Jerome (Maura West) working together against their enemies. So, they’ve been spending a lot of time together lately and they are getting closer.

And I suspect that those lines may blur soon and then Drew and Ava may become something a little more than just partners in crime. We’re going to talk about how Drew and Ava Jerome might go from being revenge buddies to bed buddies.

General Hospital: Drew & Ava’s Immediate Chemistry

So, from the moment Ava started chatting up Drew up at the Metro Court, I had a distinct feeling that these two were going to end up teaming up together and that manifested. Ava opened up to Drew about how difficult it is co-parenting with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard).

And of course, she has all those worries that he will turn Avery Corinthos (Scarola twins) against her. And Drew told Ava he was pretty much going through the same thing. Drew was worried about Scout when he was locked up because he feared that Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) was filling Scout’s head with negative things about him.

Plus, Ava is probably the only person that seemed happy to see Drew on his feet and fully recovered and genuinely mean it. So Ava and Drew did some bonding and Ava was happy to hear about Drew’s big plans to take down Sonny.

Drew & Ava’s Plan in Motion on GH

That’s something that Ava is totally on board with. The thing is Drew’s got a lot more enemies than just Sonny. And Drew, I think, is going to try and use Ava to help him with all of these. So this week, Drew and Ava’s plans heat up. And we’ve got Drew telling Ava there’s an obstacle he needs removed.

Drew also tells Ava that he needs her to keep Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) busy while he searches his hotel room. So, I’m curious to see if Drew will admit to her what he’s searching for. Viewers know Jack’s got blackmail info, evidence of Drew doing dodgy campaign fraud stuff. And because of what Jack has, Drew can’t get revenge on Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) for shooting him and then drugging him and keeping him locked away all those months.

General Hospital: Drew’s Revenge Mission

And Drew really wants revenge. The General Hospital weekly promo shows what looks like Ava drugging Jack’s drink. And what’s interesting about Ava drugging Jack at this time is that Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) was just raging at Jack for threatening Willow, which is kind of insane because Nina wasn’t happy with Willow.

Nina told Willow to destroy that recording of Jack because Nina’s worried that this will put Willow in danger. But of course, her daughter won’t listen. So Nina went to Jack trying to get him to back down, but he’s actually annoyed at Nina for defending Willow. And Jack warned Nina, “Take a step back from Willow.” Jack has a good read on Willow, who is a constant source of chaos.

But of course, Nina got angry at Jack because she’s incapable of hearing the ugly truth about her daughter, Willow. Instead, Nina demanded that Jack get Willow what she needs, which is evidence against Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson). And Nina said if he doesn’t then Jack will be the one who’s destroyed.

General Hospital: Ava & Drew Start Scheming

And Drew overheard this threat. And so he may assume if Jack realizes he’s been drugged and his room was rifled that he might think it was Willow or maybe even Nina. I expect Drew might think he can fly under the radar and get away with it and hopefully steal the evidence that he needs. Ava’s one concern about playing revenge games with Drew is that she does not want to lose her best friend Nina.

And Ava may worry that Nina would be upset with her for targeting her boyfriend Jack. However, with Nina and Jack arguing and on the outs, Ava may think, “Okay, it’s fine.” She might even think she’s doing Nina a favor by helping Drew with Jack since they seem doomed. Anyway, we also have Ava feeling slighted this week. And it might be these feelings are cropping up with her and Drew.

So, Ava may be upset that Drew wants her to help with Jack instead of them focusing on Sonny. After this week, Drew and Ava get much closer because they will have pulled off their first caper together. Whether it goes well or not, they’ve still done it. They’ll bond over it. And I could absolutely see things turning not romantic, but maybe into something else. Maybe something with sparks and sizzle between Drew and Ava.

Ava & Drew Heat Up on GH

We know Drew was going to need a romantic interest eventually. We even recently did a video on it speculating on who he might end up with. And Ava was one of the top of the list. She’s currently single and has been since her new fling, Ethan Lovett (Christian Howard), ran out of Port Charles. Ava and Ethan slept together, but then he abruptly left the country when Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel) popped up in town because he’s scared of him. And in fact, Ethan was on a date with Ava when he saw Hudson and he ran to Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) and hopped on the first flight out of town and didn’t even call her. So, Ava’s feeling pretty salty about Ethan running.

Meanwhile, Drew is freshly divorced from his murderous little wife, Willow. So I think them teaming up for strategic things could open the door for Drew and Ava to hit the sheets and maybe eventually getting some feelings involved. Plus, let’s be real. Who else would date Drew or Ava? They are both town pariahs without a lot of hot romantic prospects.

You know, for a while, Drew was a really good guy, a Navy Seal, respected and beloved, but ever since he went to prison to protect Carly Spencer (Laura Wright), he’s been a true villain. And on the reverse side, Ava started out a true villain and has gradually gotten to be much less villainous. They’re kind of meeting in the middle where they’re the same amount of villain at this point. And with that in mind, I feel like Drew needs somebody who is as conniving and devious as he is.

General Hospital: Ava & Drew a Perfect Match

And Ava certainly fits that. Drew needs a partner and he is persona non grata with everybody else. So he might be working with Ava because he has no other options, but they still may click. I think there is real potential for Drew and Ava to become a sort of evil power couple in Port Charles. That could be really interesting.

You know, she and Drew could cause some serious damage to anybody who dares to cross them. I mean, Ava and Drew individually are pretty volatile, but together they could be a tangible threat. I’m sure that half of Port Charles would freak if they saw Ava and Drew publicly canoodling.

We know Sonny and Carly would definitely flip their lids if Ava and Drew got together since both are their toxic exes. Plus, Nina may wind up furious with Ava, not necessarily for targeting Jack, but just because of how much Nina hates Drew and hates everything he’s done to Willow.

General Hospital: Nina & Ava’s Friendship at Risk

I mean, this could seriously threaten Ava and Nina’s long-standing friendship. But I don’t even know if that would stop Ava. And honestly, their friendship has faced worst things. Plus, Ava was dating Nina’s ex-husband, Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst), and Nina didn’t seem to mind that too much.

So maybe she actually won’t care if Ava winds up with Drew as long as he’s leaving her and Willow alone. Not that he plans to do that. So Nina, I think would be unbothered up until the point Drew starts targeting Willow.

And this could also, by the way, end the Alexis and Ava truce. So I think Alexis would be furious with Ava if she started canoodling, dating, sleeping with whatever with Drew. And Alexis might just wash her hands of Ava.

So, this week we have Drew and Ava formalizing their wicked partnership when she helps him target Jack. And from there we may see Ava and Drew doing their next batch of scheming in private. And if he is alone with Ava now that Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) has moved out.

I could see her asking if Drew has taken all of his parts for a test drive since he recovered from his ordeal. A couple of martinis and bada bing bada boom. And we’ve got Ava inviting Drew to her bed and from there maybe they’ll catch feelings.

The Bold and the Beautiful fans know Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) does not want Melissa Dylan (Sydney Bullock) anywhere near Will Spencer (Crew Morrow), even though Electra doesn’t want to be with him anymore. And she pretty much wishes Dylan would just disappear. But that’s not going to happen. Not easily anyway.

So, we may see Electra playing really dirty soon. She may take steps to ensure that Dylan never ends up with Will. There’s no chance of a happily ever after. We’re going to talk about Electra taking steps to ensure that Dylan loses any chance to be with Will once and for all.

Bold and the Beautiful: Electra Lashes Out at Dylan

So, not long ago, we saw Electra and Dylan arguing over Will while they were up at work at Forrester Creations. And Electra was accusing Dylan of playing a long game and only becoming her friend so she could get to Will. And she also got real cocky and said, “I’m Electra Forrester. My name is on the building.” She told Dylan, “My family’s name is on the checks you cash.” You know, so Electra said it would be so easy for her to get Dylan fired, but she’s not going to do that.

Electra Wont Fire Dylan on B&B

And Electra even told RJ Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti), she won’t do it because then Dylan will play the victim and go running to Will. Electra even told Dylan to do the right thing and just quit Forrester. But she told Electra that she can’t do that. Dylan told Electra that she wouldn’t be able to make ends meet because working at Bikini is not enough to cover her bills. So then Electra accused Dylan of playing victim so she can run to Will’s arms. But Electra told Dylan she’s never going to let it happen. And Electra vowed to make sure Dylan does not wind up with Will.

Electra’s Devious Plot on Bold and the Beautiful

So, that got my wheels turning and thinking about how exactly can Electra make sure that Dylan never has a real relationship with Will. I’m expecting Electra to sabotage Dylan to make sure that Will is not going to want her. To make it where the Spencer family will hate her. Even though Electra dumped Will again after bossing and bullying him, you know, even though they’re split, Electra is still trying to control Will and control who he can and cannot date. But the big question is, how exactly can Electra ruin Dylan’s chances with Will. So, let’s discuss what she might do.

Electra Uses Remy against Dylan

First off, Electra may use Remy Pryce (Christian Weissmann) against Dylan this week. Katie wants to know the truth about Dylan’s past, but anything she says, you know, Will’s mom’s not going to believe. So, she told Katie and Will that she wasn’t plotting. And Dylan said her cousin helped her get the art camp job, but she never said his name.

So, a reliable source said Katie’s going to ask Dylan about Remy and Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada), is going to confront her about both of them. But how would Katie know about Remy? The only person who knows is Electra. So, I’m wondering if Electra tells Katie that Remy is Dylan’s cousin.

Bold and Beautiful: Electra Spins Lies about Dyla & Remy

You know, Electra might play the victim card and make it like Dylan and her whole family is all bad when it’s just Remy who’s the bad seed. Of course, Katie would latch onto that hook line and sinker. And there’s really no other way Katie would know about it unless Dylan confessed, which would be crazy if she did. Right now, she’s only confessed to Electra, and using Remy can make Dylan look really bad.

Electra might imply that Dylan knew what Remy did to Electra with the deep fakes, and Dylan’s close with Remy, that they’re affectionate family members. None of that’s true. And of course, Dylan had zero idea about the deep fakes. And she came clean to Electra the moment she found out what Remy did to Electra.

Plus, Dylan immediately cut Remy out of her life. Dylan did everything she could. She did it all right, but I’m guessing Electra will make it sound otherwise. And of course, Katie already hates Dylan. So Katie hearing about this, I think, would have Katie trash-talking Dylan to Will all over again. And of course, Dylan will deny it because it’s not true. But then I’m sure Katie will defend Electra and say, “She’s the victim here. She wouldn’t lie.” Blah, blah. And of course Will would hate to hear that Dylan’s related to Remy. I’m sure Katie would say she deliberately hid it from him.

Bold and the Beautiful: Dylan Painted as the Villain

Another thing Electra could do is tell Katie that Dylan targeted Will and targeted the Foresters from the start. Basically the same nonsense Electra spouted to Dylan the other day. According to Electra’s version, Dylan somehow conspired to be held hostage by Luna because that’s what led Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) to offer Dylan that job. She was an art teacher at Hayes summer camp and was taken hostage by Luna. And everything fell apart for Dylan from that point forward.

And that’s when Steffy offered Dylan the job at Forrester Creations because Steffy felt terrible that Dylan got pulled into all that mess. Remember, she ended up running over her. Electra said this crazy stuff already to Dylan and she may repeat it to Katie, but it just makes no sense. It’s just literally not possible. But since Will’s mom already believes the worst of Dylan, Electra might convince her.

Electra Convinces Katie Dylan was Working with Luna on B&B

But how exactly would Dylan have set any of that up? Well, that leads us to the next thing. Electra may tell Katie that she thinks Dylan and Luna were plotting together. Soon, Katie wants to know about Dylan’s past with Luna, according to this same reliable source. So, it could be that Electra says that she’s getting the same vibe from Dylan that she did from Luna.

And Electra may say that Dylan’s got an agenda, that she’s obsessed with Will, just like Luna was. And Electra might even tell Katie that Dylan may be just as dangerous as Luna. Or even crazier, Electra might suggest to Katie that Dylan and Luna might have been secret friends. That maybe Dylan played along and it was a fake hostage situation.

Electra Keeps Lying on Bold

Electra may say that Dylan let Luna tie up and that maybe Dylan was out there to pick Luna up but then accidentally ran over her on the road that night. And Electra may say that’s why Dylan invited Luna to do origami lessons at the art camp because they were conspiring.

Electra basically just keeps making insane stuff up about Dylan that’s not tethered in facts or logic. And she might even tell Katie, “Watch out. Dylan may take a page from Luna’s playbook and deliberately get pregnant by Will.”

Another thing Electra may do is tell Will, right now the two of them can’t be together because of her family. But Electra may tease Will to keep him on the hook and say once things die down and the Foresters chill out, then Electra can reunite with Will. Not now, but down the road.

But Electra can tell Will, “This could happen, but if you get with Dylan, I will never reunite with you, even if my family gets over it.” So Electra could tell Will, “If you ever want a shot to be with me again, you cannot be with Dylan.” Now, very manipulative, very unreasonable, and textbook Electra.

Electra Fires Dylan on Bold and the Beautiful

The last thing is Electra may still go ahead and fire Dylan and then also try to get her fired from Bikini while her mom, Darcy Dylan (Kelly Sullivan), is in town. Electra may think that if Dylan can’t afford to live in LA because she’s got no jobs, or even if she’s just down to the one job that won’t pay her bills, then maybe she will go back home with her mom.

So, with Darcy arriving in LA this week, we could see Electra making sure that Darcy knows that Dylan was homeless and was living out of her car because, if you remember, her parents did not know. So, if Darcy thinks it could happen again because Dylan lost her job, she might tell her daughter, “You got to come home.”

Dolly Parton died Tuesday in Nashville at 80, following a brief battle with cancer. The news landed the way it does for very few public figures — as a genuine, collective gut-punch, with tributes arriving within hours from country royalty, Hollywood A-listers, sitting politicians, and millions of ordinary fans who felt like they’d lost someone they actually knew. President Trump ordered flags lowered to half-staff for a week. Taylor Swift, Reba McEntire, Jane Fonda, Dionne Warwick, Miley Cyrus, and dozens more public figures posted personal remembrances within the day.

But Parton’s reach never stopped at country music or Hollywood. For an entire generation of content creators — women who’ve built careers on refusing to shrink themselves, refusing to apologize for how they look or where they came from — Dolly Parton wasn’t just an entertainer. She was a blueprint. In the wake of her death, several creators shared their own reactions, and the common thread running through all of them wasn’t really about music at all. It was about permission — the permission Parton gave, over six decades in the public eye, to be loud, unusual, self-made, and completely unbothered by anyone’s opinion of you.

“She marched to her own beat” — Brandi Love on Parton’s refusal to shrink

For Brandi Love, the shock of the news gave way almost immediately to something closer to reverence. “I’m just shocked over the news of Dolly Parton’s passing,” she said. “She embodied what it meant to be a super star! Never dimming her light or changing anything about herself for anyone. She marched to her own beat and her individualism will always be something I admire and respect.”

Love pointed specifically to the way Parton weathered a lifetime of commentary about her body and her image without ever bending to it. “Boobs too big? She didn’t care. Waist too small — so what! You dress weird — she wouldn’t change,” Love said. “She represented what I would say was an unapologetically authentic woman. I dug that about her!”

“A trailblazer in every sense of the word” — Taylor Breesey on the standard Parton set for women

Taylor Breesey’s reaction centered on legacy — specifically, the example Parton set for the women who came after her, in and out of entertainment. “Dolly Parton was a trailblazer in every sense of the word,” Breesey said. “She showed generations of women that we didn’t have to fit inside anyone else’s idea of how a woman should look, act, or live in order to be respected, successful, and powerful. Rest easy, Dolly, you will be missed!”

“Fierce, fabulous, fashionable, and completely one of a kind” — Paige Summers on the joy Parton built

Paige Summers’ tribute leaned into everything Parton represented at once — the songwriting, the theme park, the sheer force of personality. “Dolly Parton was such a beautiful reminder to be unapologetically yourself and never fear judgment… no matter what you look like, where you come from, or how big your dreams may be,” Summers said. “From the music she created to the joyful world of Dollywood, which I still hope to visit one day, she was fierce, fabulous, fashionable, and completely one of a kind.”

Summers said she plans to hold onto that joy rather than let the sadness take over. “I’ll keep listening to ‘9 to 5’ and ‘Jolene’ on repeat and try to feel more joy than sadness when I think of her, even though knowing she’s gone truly hurts my heart. I know I’m far from the only person who feels that way,” she said. “Love you, Dolly. Thank you for being such a shining example of what’s possible when you dare to be completely yourself.”

“I’ve only ever read really sweet things about her” — Natasha Nice on a loss that reached even casual fans

Not every tribute came from a lifelong superfan — and that, in its own way, said something about the scale of what Parton meant to people. Natasha Nice was candid that she wouldn’t have called herself deeply invested in Parton’s career, but the news still hit her hard. “Honestly I was really shocked and saddened by it because she seems like such a ‘forever young’ type of person, and I’ve only ever read really sweet things about her from celebrities,” Nice said. “I wouldn’t call myself a crazy big fan though, but that was my reaction.”

It’s a reaction that mirrors what played out across social media in the hours after the announcement: even people who couldn’t name a Parton deep cut still felt the loss, because Parton’s public persona — warm, funny, endlessly generous — had a way of reaching people who’d never bought a ticket to one of her shows.

A legacy bigger than the music

Parton’s death comes a little over a year after she lost her husband of 58 years, Carl Dean, and follows a stretch of health issues she’d spoken about candidly in recent months, including kidney stones and lingering effects on her immune system. Her family’s obituary described “a rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see,” pointing not just to her music and songwriting but to her wit, her warmth, and her decades of philanthropy — including the Imagination Library, which has put free books in the hands of millions of children worldwide.

That combination — the talent, the generosity, and the total refusal to be anyone other than herself — is exactly what came through in every tribute from the creator community this week. Brandi Love’s admiration for a woman who never dimmed her light, Taylor Breesey’s recognition of a trailblazer, Paige Summers’ insistence on choosing joy, Natasha Nice’s simple acknowledgment that the world felt a little different without her — different voices, same throughline. Dolly Parton spent sixty years proving that you could be exactly who you are, at full volume, and the world would love you for it. For a generation of creators built on that same premise, that lesson isn’t going anywhere.

Kim Zolciak’s Teen Son Arrested After Female Classmate Accuses Him of Sexual Assault 

Kim Zolciak’s 15-year-old son, Kroy Biermann Jr., known as “KJ,” was arrested this week in connection with an alleged sexual assault involving a female classmate, according to court documents.

Alpharetta police arrested KJ on Monday on charges of aggravated sodomy and aggravated sexual battery stemming from an alleged April 23 incident inside a changing area at Life Time Fitness. According to Fulton County Juvenile Court documents, the alleged victim told investigators that she was walking with the teenage football player when he began flirting with her and making jokes.

She alleged that KJ then entered one of the changing rooms and said, “hey, look at this,” prompting her to go inside. Once she entered the room, KJ allegedly began grabbing parts of her body and kissing her, according to the documents.

The girl claimed that she repeatedly told him “no” and accused him of forcing oral sex and digitally penetrating her.

“She finally managed to get away from him, and he pulled up his pants and left,” the court documents state. Authorities also allege that KJ did not scan into the gym on the day of the alleged incident, though he was reportedly captured on security footage inside the facility. The alleged victim was taken to a hospital the following day, April 24, for a sexual assault examination. According to the documents, no male DNA was detected in her mouth or vagina at the time of the examination.

KJ is being held without bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 1.

Following news of his arrest, Kim issued a statement strongly defending her son and denying the allegations against him. “The allegations being made against my son are nothing short of reckless and deeply troubling. He categorically denies ever being involved with this woman or engaging in the conduct she has alleged,” Zolciak said in part.

KJ’s attorney, Jason Sheffield, also denied the allegations and maintained his client’s innocence.

“He is not only presumed innocent, but is in fact, innocent,” Sheffield said. “I will work tirelessly to demonstrate to the District Attorney’s office the mean spirited nature of these false allegations and to bring a close to this matter as quickly as possible.” Just days after news of her son’s arrest became public, the former Real Housewives of Atlanta star was photographed stepping out for dinner in Palm Beach, Florida.

Kim, 48, was seen leaving a restaurant Wednesday evening alongside her 14-year-old son, Kash, and her boyfriend, Kyle Mowitz.

The reality star wore a fitted black dress with strappy stiletto heels, while both Kash and Kyle Mowitz were also dressed in black. At one point outside the restaurant, Kim Zolciak appeared to adjust Kash’s collar as the pair spoke. She was also photographed having what appeared to be a serious conversation on her cellphone.

The outing came as the family continues to face intense public attention surrounding the allegations against KJ, which he and his attorney have denied.

Kenya Moore’s Dramatic New Look Has Fans Asking: What Did She Do to Her Face? 

Kenya Moore is turning heads with a noticeably different look — and fans have plenty to say about it.

The former Real Housewives of Atlanta star stepped out in Miami this week to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Miss USA, joining fellow pageant winners and celebrity guests aboard a megayacht for the milestone event. Kenya, 55, who won Miss USA in 1993, also served as a co-host for the Miss USA 75th Diamond Celebration. But while the reality star was dressed to impress, much of the online conversation quickly shifted to her appearance.

On Aug. 26, Kenya shared a glamorous carousel of photos on Instagram showing her posing on a staircase emblazoned with the words “She’s Iconic.” She wore a curve-hugging polka-dot ALAÏA dress and kept her caption short and confident.

“My legacy will always be Iconic,” she wrote.

Almost immediately, followers began flooding the comments with questions about whether Moore had changed her appearance. “Who is that?” one person asked, while another wrote, “Is this Kenya?”

“Kenya, why did you touch your face?” another follower questioned. “This is not the Kenya I know,” one person commented. A third added, “Wow, Kenya, you really touched your face.” Another follower wrote, “I’m disappointed in you, Kenya.”

Some social media users speculated that cosmetic procedures could be behind Moore’s appearance, while others suggested that filters, Photoshop or artificial intelligence may have played a role.

“AI, or did you really get work done?” one person asked.

Another follower wrote, “Kenya, your original face was beautiful.” Other observers pointed to what they described as tighter-looking skin and more defined facial features, leading to additional speculation about a possible facelift, brow lift or other cosmetic work. For some fans, the change appeared dramatic enough that they claimed they barely recognized the longtime reality star. “Unrecognizable,” one social media user wrote.

Another questioned whether Moore had undergone a “mid face and brow lift,” adding, “Kenya, no, your face was perfect.”

The discussion was not limited to Instagram. Fans on X also debated whether Moore had undergone cosmetic work, with one user speculating about a possible “eye lift.” Others remained convinced that editing technology was responsible for the difference in her appearance.

“Kenya, you use AI and Photoshop on your pictures,” one follower wrote.

“Kenya has a Facetune subscription,” another joked.

Some fans even compared Moore’s appearance to model and entrepreneur Kimora Lee Simmons. Kenya Moore has not publicly confirmed undergoing any recent facelift, eye lift or other cosmetic procedure. For now, the conversation surrounding her appearance remains speculation among social media users.

The Young and the Restless reveals things escalate really fast between Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) and Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) as their months of vibing and flirting all come to a head. Kyle and Victoria get frisky on the couch in Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman)’s office, and that leaves them both breathless. But they agree it can never happen again.

But you know what? I bet it keeps on happening. From there, things could end up taking a wild turn. We’re going to talk about whether Victoria Newman might get pregnant by Kyle Abbott and flip Genoa City and their family’s upside down.

Young and the Restless: Victoria’s Rivalry Idea

So, this week, Victoria was up at Jabot pitching this Vibrante rivalry scheme and Kyle promised to consider it, but he refused to tell his parents about it. He told Jack and Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters), “Don’t worry about why Victoria is here. Just focus on your travel plans and go, go, go.” So Kyle’s parents are taking off for Tahiti. And we know Victoria and Kyle were going to kiss at Jabot this week because of the promo, but turns out they do not stop there.

Victoria talks about knocking the swagger out of him after telling Kyle she recalls his birthday suit campaign for Jabot where he not so accidentally wound up wearing only sunscreen and making out turns into Victoria and Kyle ripping off each other’s clothes and then they take Jack’s sofa for a test drive and have sex right there in his office. Thankfully Kyle remembered to lock the door before they got busy. But did Victoria and Kyle remember birth control as well as door locks?

Kyle & Victoria’s Spark Erupts on Y&R

Victoria and Kyle have been heating up for a while and actress Amelia Heinle said she was really surprised that The Young and the Restless decided to go there with Kyle and Victoria. But the actress also said now they’re doing it. She’s excited about the storyline and where it’s going to go from here. And of course, Kyle and Victoria both know that sleeping together once word gets out, if it gets out, would send shock waves through the Newman and Abbott families. But now it’s done and there’s no going back.

However, I do think she and Kyle make this promise about keeping it quiet, not doing it again, but then they’re going to go back for seconds and thirds. I expect a full-blown affair. And if you think Victoria sleeping with Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin)’s ex is too shocking, it’s really not. Not only because it’s a soap, but also this is pretty normal behavior for the Newmans. Remember, Victoria and Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) had lover overlaps.

If you’re a longtime Y&R fan, you may remember they have three men in common. The lovers that Victoria and Nikki have in common are Brad Carlton (Don Diamont), Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan), and Cole Howard. And if I remember correctly, I think Nikki might have been with all three guys first and then Victoria later. Kind of like Claire with Kyle first and Victoria now.

Shared Lovers in Families is Huge on Young and Restless

But we know that of course, Victoria reconnected with Cole after being apart for many years and thinking that their baby girl died and they got another shot at love and parenting, but then Cole died and Victoria hasn’t been in a relationship since. She had a little vibe with Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) again, but it didn’t go anywhere. So, she needs a man.

And while Victoria and Nikki do have a history of sharing a few romantic partners, this would definitely be new territory for Claire. And I don’t think she’s going to feel comfortable with it. But let’s be real, Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow), Adam Newman (Mark Grossman), and Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) have all been with Sharon.

And Victor and Nick were both with Diane, and Nick and Adam were both with Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) and Chelsea Newman (Melissa Claire Egan). So, family overlaps are a big thing on The Young and the Restless. Over on the Abbott side of things. If you remember, of course you remember Victoria was married to Billy and they share kids. So, we’ll also get to see at some point how Kyle’s uncle reacts to this revelation.

Kyle & Victoria Can’t Stay Away on Young and the Restless

So, right now, Kyle and Victoria swear it’s a one-and-done and it’ll never happen again. And they agree that nobody can ever know. But after saying those words, Kyle started making out with her again. And after Victoria left, Kyle happened to find one of her earrings.

So, I suspect when he returns it, these two won’t be able to resist and they’ll be back at it. And I fully suspect the one-time thing with him and Victoria turns into a secret, spicy, ongoing affair. And of course, we know somebody’s going to find out eventually.

Claire finding out is the soapiest option. It would be crazy if she caught Kyle and Victoria in the act. But now that Kyle is sleeping with Victoria, and I assume they’re going to keep at it, I am wondering if Kyle is going to get Victoria pregnant. That would be super wild and very soapy.

Pregnancy a Huge Possibility for Victoria on Y&R

And if you remember, Victoria did briefly have some fertility issues back in the day. If you recall, she had her oldest son, Reed Halstrom, and then her son Johnny was one she adopted from Chelsea because Chelsea had drugged Billy to pull a pregnancy con and she wasn’t in the right place to be a mom.

So, that’s how Victoria got her second son. And then there was some infertility around that time, but then Victoria got pregnant again and she gave birth to Katie Abbott in 2014. And any fertility issues Victoria had were settled by that pregnancy. And she’s got no ongoing infertility we’ve heard about. So, it is absolutely a possibility that Kyle and Victoria could make a baby.

She is older than Kyle, but not too old to get pregnant, especially not on a soap. And if Victoria turned up pregnant, there would be no hiding her and Kyle’s affair. Of course, it would be shocking and unplanned. But Victoria and Kyle both love kids, so I think they would be happy about a baby.

But then everybody would know Victoria and Kyle were sleeping together and lying to everybody. And I think Claire would be pretty horrified since Kyle is her ex-boyfriend and he also could be the father of a new sibling of hers. That would be insane. But never say never on soaps. It could absolutely happen.

Claire Fumes on Young and Restless

Claire already thinks Kyle is using Victoria as a way to get revenge on Victor and the Newmans. So, Claire may suspect that Kyle somehow took advantage of her mom Victoria for sketchy reasons. And once Claire finds out it was totally consensual that Kyle and Victoria were together with no agenda, then Claire may actually be furious with her mom for sleeping with her first love Kyle, the guy who took her virginity.

And then if Victoria added insult to injury by turning up pregnant on top of that, I think Claire’s head might explode. Of course, she’d love to have another sibling, but not with Kyle as the dad. Talk about weird and awkward family dinners. But Claire’s just the tip of the reaction iceberg.

I’m quite certain Victor would be absolutely furious. He thinks it’s bad enough that Victoria had kids with Billy Boy Abbott. And if Victoria goes off and gets pregnant by another Abbott, just wow, Victor might fire her and also disown her. And that would be ironic because Victoria was just joking about that very thing with Kyle and it might turn out to be true.

Kyle & Victoria Can’t Quit Each Other Young and the Restless

We’ll see how long Victoria and Kyle stick to their pledge that it was just a one-time thing because I’m quite certain it’s not going to be. This affair is pretty much confirmed. And with any sneaky affair on a soap opera, pregnancy is always a possibility.

And if Victoria turned up pregnant, then that could have Kyle thinking maybe they should just make things official and lean into this and they even wind up married. It would be a full-blown Romeo and Juliet thing.

They do have really good chemistry. I like Kyle and Victoria’s vibe. And they skipped all the flirting and teasing and just hop straight into ripping each other’s clothes off. So, I expect it to get even spicier from here.

Lance Gross popped out on some “new hair, who dis?” energy, and the internet is going OFF over his latest look. The actor has entered his “do blondes have more fun?” era, but even his mom had something to say about the switch-up. She came through with her unfiltered thoughts, and let’s just say, fans are backing her up, telling Lance he needs to dye it back.

Lance Gross’ mother has fans saying “mom’s know best” after he dropped some flicks on Instagram showing off his fresh new hairstyle.

Lance even shared a text thread from a convo with his mom, where she pleaded with him to change th color back because, in her words, “it looks really horrible.” Her response had fans cuttin’ UP online, but Lance wasn’t fazed. He still dropped a video showing the transformation process of him making the drastic color change.

The Internet Has Some STRONG Feelings About Lance’s Switch-Up

Lance Previously Had The Ladies Thanking Him For A Timeline Treat

Before switching up his look, Lance previously had the ladies going crazy over his suited-up selfie. In July, Lance dropped a photo on Instagram showing himself dressed in a full pink suit for the Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA) Sorority’s 72nd International Boule. While Lance thanked the sorority for inviting him to the event in his caption, the ladies were busy showing him some love in the comments and thanking him for bringing a little extra fineness to their feeds. Peep the flick below.

Days of Our Lives fans, we have got some information from our very reliable leaker about the coming Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) and Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) reunion. They told us this rekindling is coming soon, as well as some huge hints on how it may happen.

This is our same trusty source that leaked to me that Rachel Black (Lorelei Olivia Mote) was the one who shot EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) and lots of other juicy stuff I’ve shared with you guys.

Days of our Lives: Sarah Moving Forward with Brady

So, there’s a lot going on with the Kiriakis house up for sale, with Sarah about to move in with Brady Black (Eric Martsolf), and of course with Xander struggling with his temper. So, let’s get right to it. Our leaker told me quite a while ago that Xander and Sarah would be reuniting this fall, but at the time they didn’t give me a lot of details. And then they also leaked that Xander was going to hook up with Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien), which he did.

Xander had a friends with benefits fling before Gwen found out that Xander was also shagging Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk). And then if you recall, I leaked that Sarah and Brady would have a slow burn romance. And one thing that was leaked to us about that that has not manifested yet is that Brady might possibly propose and that was going to be what inspired Sarah to take a step back and realize Xander is the one for her. So that hasn’t manifested yet. And for now we’re still seeing that slow-burn romance of Brady and Sarah’s that has been ongoing for a while.

That eventually ramped up to Brady making love with Sarah and them getting more serious. And the two recently swapped I love yous. But Brady was the one who said it first and I suspect that he means it more than she does.

Xander Hides His Anger on DOOL

With the Kiriakis mansion about to sell, Sarah’s looking for a place to move into and Xander asked her to move into his building to make co-parenting easier. But Brady invited Sarah and her daughter Victoria to live with him and his kids while Sarah searches for a new place. And as you know, everybody soon needs to evacuate the Kiriakis mansion because a mysterious Italian billionaire made an offer on it and Xander is ready to accept that offer soon.

Now, to his credit, when Sarah told him she’s moving in with Brady, on the surface, at least Xander kept his cool, at least while Sarah was in the room. But once she left, Xander absolutely destroyed a stress ball.

He crushed it, trying to keep from lashing out with all that anger that had boiled up. Xander’s definitely going to need a new stress ball or maybe a whole bucket of them. Regardless, Sarah was impressed that Xander reacted calmly to her announcement. And of course, we know Brady is over the moon excited about his new roommates.

Xander actually offered Sarah could move in at their old apartment with him, but it was a hard no for Sarah. Yet, she said yes to Brady. So, definitely a struggle with the reaction to that. The mansion had plenty enough room where Sarah could stay out of Xander’s way, but the apartment’s a lot smaller.

Days of our Lives: Xander Surprises Sarah

However, our leaker hinted that Sarah is going to see a different side of Xander very soon. The fast approaching father-daughter dance may be the time and place for Sarah’s revelation. She may see something happen between Xander and Victoria, or maybe something that Brady does that convinces Sarah that she and Brady just aren’t meant to be, and it’s been Xander all along. You know, maybe just seeing Xander with Victoria escorting her in style to the dance. I think that’s going to soften up Sarah’s heart, but I think there’s something more coming.

Xander’s got a lot on his mind trying to save Titan and all that, but he’s going to be very focused on Victoria. And of course, he’s been having a wonderful time co-parenting with Sarah while they’re under the same roof. So hopefully Xander can have a stress-free evening with Victoria at the dance. And this is one of three scenarios that our leaker offered us.

One is something to do with Xander and Victoria and this dance which Brady likely is also going to because Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd)’s going with Charlotte. It seems like all the dads with young daughters in Salem will be there. Our trustworthy leakers suggested that if Sarah doesn’t have a change of heart around the time of the dance, then she may see Xander in a different light at Victoria’s birthday party, and that’s coming up very soon.

Victoria’s Birthday a Turning Point on DOOL

So, Sarah may have some flash of revelation and comes to her senses after Victoria’s party. Her birthday is September 8th. We aren’t quite sure how old Victoria is going to be this year because she was born on screen in 2023. And if you recall, Sarah went into labor at Victor Kiriakis (John Aniston)’s funeral. And then Dr. Rex Brady delivered her. But then they sourced Victoria and aged her up and changed her birth year from 2023 back to 2022, which would make her 3 years old at the time.

So, she should be turning four. So, we’ll see if Xander and Sarah are celebrating Victoria’s fourth in a couple of weeks, or if the writers rapidly age the kiddo up again. They just boosted Thomas and Charlotte’s ages a bit with this week’s recast of both of Chad’s kids.

And our leaker said they were waiting on confirmation, but said if Sarah and Xander don’t get back together after the dance or birthday party, that there is another event that could have Sarah seeing the light. The leaker promised they’d fill me in on that if the dance and birthday don’t seal the deal on the reunion, but they said they can’t tell me now.

Sarah & Xander’s Reunion Takes Time On Days

So, the inside source also told me the exes won’t reunite immediately after Sarah ditches Brady if it is the party or the dance thing. So, just as a side note, poor Brady can never catch a break in the romance department. The leaker said Xander and Sarah will have an in-between phase if the dance or birthday party is the catalyst for her to split from Brady.

They said it’ll be a slow-moving thing. Xander and Sarah will co-parent bond and work on their trust issues. But if it’s not the dance or the birthday party and it’s the third mystery event, it’ll be different. And just to clarify why we sometimes get alternate versions is because when people get leaks from the writer room, sometimes it’s when they’re still figuring out which way something’s going to go. So, the Days of our Lives information leaked isn’t always perfect.

The leakers suggested if it takes a third event for Sarah to realize Xander is the one, she’ll dump Brady and quickly reunite with Xander. So, we know that they are remarried likely around the end of the year, Christmas, New Year’s. Maggie Horton (Susanne Rogers) accidentally spilled those beans. She did an interview several months back and I think she was a little confused about what they were taping right then versus what is actually on the air. And she spoke present tense about Xander being her son-in-law and how much Maggie cares about him, which is definitely not the state of things on episodes currently airing.

Days of our Lives: Crisis Changes Everything?

So, I wonder what this third thing might be. Could be Sarah and Xander get close again if Victoria has some sort of accident or illness, just a medical crisis. Doesn’t even have to be anything serious. We saw Sarah softening towards Xander earlier this year when Victoria was hospitalized with pneumonia.

So, we could have that or an external threat that could make Sarah see Xander differently with Titan hanging by a thread. You know, Xander may find a way to save Titan, save the mansion, which would thrill Maggie and all of the other Kiriakis family members.

And there’s also a chance this third event could involve something that Brady does on his side of things. And so, of course, we heard he might propose. If he does, that may rattle Sarah into running right back to Xander. We’ll see how it goes. Watch for a lot more red flags though as this Xander and Sarah reunion gets closer by the day and definitely watch for red flags at the father-daughter dance and then at Victoria’s birthday.
