General Hospital spoilers for Feb 16-20, 2026 have Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) shocked and Jason Morgan exiting as Steve Burton leaves for a bit.

As we always do on early edition day, we start with what’s coming the rest of this week, then we go into what is happening next week.

Jason Morgan’s Warnings and Danny Morgan Drama on GH

On Wednesday, February 11th, we have Jason issuing a warning to someone. It looks like it might be Danny Morgan (Asher Jared Antonyzyn). Jason says he thought that they were working together.

I wonder if this is about Danny being patient to wait and see Scout (Cosette Abinante), or if it’s more about Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke). I don’t know if you guys noticed, but GH is trying really hard to minimize the fact that there is DNA shared by Danny and Charlotte They are second cousins.

By the way, 45 out of our 50 states do allow second cousins to get married. Still, the overwhelming sentiment I’m seeing out of the fandom is that it’s ew.

General Hospital Spoilers: Carly Corinthos’ Apology and Lucas Jones’ Shock

We have Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) stunned on Wednesday. I think it is because Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) has showed up wanting to apologize. Lucas wants to know why Carly has had this sudden change of heart. As we know, she has not. She is doing this to help out Valentine Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart). We’ll see how sincere she can be. I mean, she’s been faking it with Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna), so I guess she can fake it with Lucas.

GH Spoilers: Cold Fusion Schemes and Jack Brennan’s Secrets

Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) tells Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) that somebody may be a problem for them. I think they’re talking about Carly. That assumption might be because they both know she is dating Jack. Jack, of course, has no idea that his boss, Cullum, is conspiring with them on the cold fusion research. So, it’s going to get messy soon.

Charlotte Cassadine’s Dilemma and Sonny Corinthos’ Advice on General Hospital

Charlotte has some thinking to do. It may be about getting to see her dad, Valentin. Maybe it’s about getting to kiss her cousin Danny again. Plus, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) offers some advice. I believe it is to Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) about Sidwell. You know, Lucy’s super jealous. She came over and told Sonny that she wants to see him take Sidwell down. Sonny’s going to give Lucy Coe an answer to her request to go after Sidwell. It sounds like he’s going to refuse.

Sonny can’t go directly at Sidwell because of the whole dead Dalton blackmail photos thing. But Sonny may encourage Lucy to go fight for her man. You know, don’t let Ava Jerome (Maura West) get away with this. Sonny was trying to stir the pot when Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) came back with that information of pitting Lucy Coe and Ava against each other. It looks like it’s working.

GH Spoliers: Trina Robinson’s Questions and Portia Robinson’s DNA Bombshell

Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) wants some answers from Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy). It might be about where exactly Joss was during the big Port Charles blizzard of 2026. Of course, she was hanging out with Cullum out at Wyndemere, just having a very uncomfortable conversation.

Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) tells Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) it’s time to learn the truth and face the consequences. So, I’m assuming Portia Robinson is going to test the baby’s DNA. Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) also tells Jordan that he might have made a tactical error and it may come back to bite him. I think that’s about Portia and pushing for the DNA test.

Curtis Ashford’s Mistake and Alexis Davis’ Legal Advice on GH

What was crazy about that whole thing is when Curtis Ashford went to see Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and was talking about getting a court order to force Portia to have the DNA test.

Alexis advised Curtis not to go that route. Curtis basically went ahead and went that route anyway and was making threats. Yeah, he wasn’t listening. He got good advice and ignored it. Now it’s biting him.

Maxie Jones Awakens: Her General Hospital Return

Thursday, February 12th. Maxie Jones is awake. Kirsten Storms is back in her first General Hospital episode in months. There are a bunch of shockers coming her way, but not all of it is going to happen at once. I’m sure Maxie is going to wake up slowly and want to know what’s going on.

She will want to see James West (Gary James Fuller) and want to see Spinelli (Bradford Anderson), all that. Portia shares some big news. It looks like she might have the DNA test results. Of course, if Portia Robinson says that Isaiah is the dad, we know Curtis won’t believe it. I wouldn’t believe it if it came from Portia either. We all know she doesn’t have the best track record.

Nathan Goes Looking for Lulu on GH

Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) gets a visit from Nathan West (Ryan Paevey). After Lulu talked to Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) and Nathan talked to Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros), they both got good advice and a good perspective.

I think Nathan West is going to tell Lulu Spencer that he doesn’t see a reason why they shouldn’t see each other. Curtis talks to Jordan about the future. We’ll find out if they have a baby in that future thanks to his canoodling with Portia or if it’s off the table. Again, I don’t think Curtis is going to buy the initial test results.

Brook Lynn Gives Advice and Emma Devane’s Crisis

Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) has some advice for Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza ( on Thursday. I’m sure it’s about Emma Scorpio-Drake (Braedyn Bruner) leaving town because of this Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) crisis. I think she’s going to be a good mom and be very supportive.

Valentine’s Surprises, Michael Corinthos Plans Big Date on General Hospital

Friday, February 13th. Jacinda Bracken (Paige Herschell) is in for a big surprise because Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) is arranging a Valentine’s Day date for them. It looks like Valentine’s hits Port Charles on Friday. Lucas opens up to Liz Webber (Rebecca Herbst).

It may be about Carly showing up with this unexpected apology. Spinelli and Felicia Scorpio (Kristina Wagner) make a decision on something. I’m sure it’s about Maxie Jones. It may be about when they’re going to bring her home to Port Charles or if she’s going to stay in Boston a little longer.

Nathan West Stuns Britt and Brooklyn Stands Up to Chase on GH

Plus, Nathan stuns Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud). He may tell her about his feelings for Lulu Spencer. We also are going to see Brook Lynn giving someone a piece of their mind. I think it may be Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) she flips out on.

Chase is very intent on making sure Michael goes down for Drew Cain Quartermaine’s (Cameron Mathison) shooting. We all saw Chase looking at Michael’s keys, stealing them, and going to test them. Now he knows that there is a house key to Drew’s place on Michael’s key ring.

GH Sweeps Week: Jason Morgan Exit, Anna Devane Trouble

The week of February 16th through the 20th is our last full week of February sweeps. The following week we have like three episodes of sweeps, and then it’s done on the 25th.

We’re going to see Steve Burton exiting as Jason He’s going to be gone for a couple of months. He just taped his last episode. We’ll see him on air for the next four to six weeks roughly. A reliable insider told us that he is aiming for a late May, maybe an early June return to filming.

That would put him back on air probably in time for July sweeps. The excuse may be that Jason Morgan needs to go try and help Anna Devane. That could be the cover for it, but I’m wondering how that’s going to be explained given what’s going on with him and Britt.

Valentin Cassadine, Carly Corinthos, Maxie Jones and More GH Spoilers

Valentin and Carly’s friendship deepens. Wiley Quartermaine Corinthos (Viron Weaver) may tattle on Chase since he saw him with Michael’s keys. Anna remains in a dark place. Michael wants something real with Jacinda, but the DA filing charges on him might make things hard.

Sonny, of course, is determined to keep Michael out of prison. Maxie’s family is ecstatic. She’s awake, especially James West. They are not going to be able to keep Nathan’s return from Maxie long because James would absolutely blab it.

Cullum is a real danger to Joss which is what Jack was afraid of. Nathan and Lulu are torn. It looks like they decided to see each other, and now Maxie wakes up, which is more confusing.

Jason keeps trying to figure out a way to get a vial of Britt Westbourne’s meds so he can have Brick (Stephen A. Smith) reverse engineer it. Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) continues to drug and torment Drew. And Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) has to decide if he will take the police commissioner job at the PCPD.

Bold and the Beautiful spoilers for Feb 16-20, 2026 imply that Eric Forrester (John McCook) gets the last laugh and Ivy Forrester (Ashleigh Brewer) is completely unhinged.

As we always do on early edition day, we start with what’s coming the rest of this week, then we’ll dive into what is coming next week. Let’s get to it!

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Early Weekly Preview for February Sweeps

On Wednesday, February 11th, it looks like Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone) is going to keep showing Melissa Dylan (Sydney Bullock) a lot of empathy and kindness. He’s going to get her a job at Il Giardino. It doesn’t look like she’s going to be a server because she’s in a black apron instead of the green server aprons, but maybe working in the kitchen, something like that.

B&B Spoilers: Deke Helps Dylan: Il Giardino Drama Unfolds

Of course, Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) is going to find out this week that Dylan is still in Los Angeles. Deke of course, realizes right away that Dylan’s homeless. I’m sure he’ll be able to convince his dad, Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) to hire Dylan. But I wonder if they’re going to offer her one of the apartments upstairs or if there may not be one available. That may be where Deke is staying since he broke up with Remy Pryce (Christian Weissmann), and that was his roommate. So we’ll find out soon.

Will’s going to be up at Il Giardino very soon, confronting Dylan out by the dumpster. Deke is there too. Will is demanding to know why Dylan lied about having a new job and that she told them she was leaving Los Angeles. She’s going to be very upset about this confrontation.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Ivy’s Blackmail Exposed – Will & Electra’s Relationship Tested

It looks like she may break down and tell Will that Ivy blackmailed her and forced her to lie and say that she was leaving. Dylan’s bottom line is she doesn’t want to cause any problems for him and Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace).

Will’s gonna bring Dylan back to his house. We’ve got a big four-person showdown coming by the end of the week. It could really affect Will and Electra’s future.

Daphne and Carter’s B&B Wedding: Runway Romance at Forrester Creations

Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) and Carter Walton’s (Lawrence Saint-Victor) wedding takes place in the Forrester Creations showroom on Wednesday. They’re going to be up on the runway saying their vows, and Zende Forrester Dominguez (Delon de Metz) is officiating.

Now, this is a fast-track wedding because initially, this was supposed to just be an engagement party that Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) was throwing. But then they’ve decided they don’t want to wait. So, a quickie wedding.

We’re going to have Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis) there with Eric. Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) is there with Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye), and Steffy and John Finn Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) are there. So, it’s a relatively small crowd. Zende officiates and takes Daphne and Carter through it.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Logan Family Tension – Ridge and Eric’s Fashion Rivalry

It’s nice for Carter because he’s always been the officiant, and now he finally gets to be the groom that makes it all the way to man and wife. They are officially hitched. On Thursday, February 12th, Donna may find herself feeling a little guilty at the wedding. Ridge keeps trash-talking Logan, and she knows he’s doing it in front of Eric, who’s the designer. Ridge was just doing it again with Carter this week. He cannot keep his mouth shut about this.

He really wants Katie Logan (Heather Tom) to fail but then also says that he doesn’t want her to fail. But we all know he wants her to fail. If Ridge is dissing Katie’s fashion house while her new lead designer, Eric, is sitting right next to him, I think that’s going to be pretty soapy. I’m sure that’s going to have Eric just wanting to double down on showing up Ridge at the fashion show.

B&B Spoilers: Carter and Daphne Celebrate – Wedding Night Hopes and Baby Plans

By the end of Thursday, we’ve got Carter and Daphne officially declared husband and wife. Then it’s on to a little wedding reception and later right to baby making. Daphne, of course, is hoping that she might already be pregnant.

That’s why she wasn’t having any champagne at her impromptu bachelorette party. I am hoping to see good news for them on that front very soon. We know that Carter’s very intent on being a dad.

Bold Spoilers: Ivy’s Bombshell Leads to Ultimatum for Will

On Friday, February 13th, Electra, Will, and Dylan are all over at Will’s place. Ivy’s there, and she thinks she’s about to drop this big bombshell about Will doing naughty and inappropriate things behind Electra’s back. But her read on the whole thing is just wrong.

Ivy tells Electra she didn’t want her to find out what Will and Dylan have been doing behind her back, but then Ivy says it’s time she heard the truth. Electra is like, “What truth?” Of course, she’s going to believe everything out of her aunt’s mouth.

Ivy’s going to tell her this tiny dancer tale of Dylan being on Will’s lap and that they were about to kiss. I’m sure it’s going to be about how Dylan spent all evening with him and was showing off her body, all this nonsense.

Electra’s Trust Issues: Will, Dylan, and Ivy’s Manipulation

I hope Will speaks up and says that he asked Dylan to dance for him because if anybody overstepped, it’s Will. I agree that him asking Dylan to put on her toe shoes and dance around was inappropriate, but nothing inappropriate happened as a result.

Electra is going to hit Will with an ultimatum. It may be that he can’t see or talk to Dylan ever again or they’re done, something like that. If Will was planning to let Dylan move back in, I’m sure Electra will pitch a fit about that.

I’m guessing she is 100% going to believe Ivy over Will. We know from 2026 B&B spoilers that they are having issues soon. I think Ivy and Electra’s less-than-charitable behavior towards Dylan isn’t going to sit very well with Will.

Plus, Carter and Daphne are husband and wife, and they’re getting frisky. It’s time to celebrate being married, and hopefully, that baby making is successful.

B&B February Sweeps: Ridge, Taylor & Deacon’s Complicated Triangle

The week of February 16th through the 20th is the last full week of February sweeps. The following week, we only have three episodes, and then it’s done on February 25th. Right now, you know, Ridge has pressured Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) into agreeing to stop seeing Deacon. But obviously, Taylor and Deacon are not going to stay apart on Bold and the Beautiful.

Deacon was just telling Deke that he didn’t think he was going to get to see Taylor anymore. But I’m sure Deacon is going to see Taylor again soon. All of her resolve will crumble. I think Deacon is going to have Taylor back in his arms soon.

However, Deacon and Taylor may agree to keep everything hidden from everyone. Especially given the Steffy ultimatum until they see how things work out with him trying to split from his wife.

Sheila’s Suspicion Grows: Deacon’s Secrets on B&B

Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) notices Deacon’s increasing absences. There’s the lack of intimacy, which is unusual because they’ve always been very frisky with each other. Sheila’s going to get more and more suspicious.

I expect snooping to commence soon and for her to be following Deacon around. Dylan is getting help from Deke, which is nice to see. RJ Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti) is likely going to see Dylan up at Il Giardino. I think he may ask her out soon, which may bother Will.

Logan and Forrester Showdown: Katie, Eric & Ridge’s High Stakes on Bold and the Beautiful

Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) continues gleefully plotting Ridge’s public humiliation. Katie and Eric are loving their work at Logan and should announce the fashion show date soon. Will was daydreaming about Dylan dancing this week. You guys saw that.

But it’s hard to tell if Will is just showing concern about her or if he’s got some sort of low-key crush. The flashbacks look to me like a low-key crush. But Brad Bell’s writing is so inconsistent and contradictory that it’s hard to tell exactly what’s happening there.

B&B Relationships: Will & Dylan’s Growing Connection

Electra and Will may continue to have words over Dylan. Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) is going to have a hard time sitting on the secret and not telling Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) that Eric is Katie’s lead designer. Brooke is going to find out soon that Taylor and Deacon are hot for each other.

Electra gets a reply from Will on her ultimatum. Daphne and Carter settle into married life. Hope and Deke may chat about Deacon having to give Taylor up and they want to know why. They may press Deacon to go get his girl but, at the very least, to kick Sheila out of his life. We’ll see what happens.

Internet users are weighing in after Blueface reacted to Pinkydoll asking him to be her Valentine.

Pinkydoll Asks Blueface To Be Her Valentine

Earlier this week, Pinkydoll took to the ‘gram to share a video with her more than 300,000 followers. Furthermore, in the clip, Pinky told viewers she’s shooting her shot.

“Roses are red. Violets are blue. Blueface, baby, would you like to be my Valentine this year?” she asked the camera before throwing her pink sign, which read, “Blueface, would you be my Valentine?” to the side.

Blueface Reacts & Internet Users Are Weighing In

In turn, Blueface slid into Pinky’s comment section with his nod of approval at her request.

Meanwhile, social media users slid into TSR Teens’ comment section, reacting to their back-and-forth.

Before Pinkydoll Asked Him To Be Her Valentine, Blue Was Going Back And Forth With NLE Choppa

Before Pinkydoll asked Blueface to be her valentine, he celebrated his birthday alongside rapper Stunna Girl. As The Shade Room previously reported, NSFW video showed Stunna gifting Blue with cakes for his trip around the sun. Afterward, NLE Choppa and Blue ended up trading words online, with NLE sharing some disheartening words about Chrisean Jr. Ultimately, NLE apologized. Still, his words appeared to leave a negative impression on internet users.

Richard Maurice Colbert, better known as iHeartMemphis for his viral hit ‘Hit The Quan,’ was arrested following a live-streamed standoff with a Miami SWAT team. Many people online have come together to send prayers and support as details continue to unfold, including from Coco Bliss.

 iHeartMemphis Facing Two Charges Following Police Standoff

On Monday night, iHeartMemphis went live for hours, streaming from inside his home. With more than 20,000 viewers tuned in, they watched as the rapper went on a rant while destroying items throughout the house. The live ultimately ended when law enforcement entered the residence. During the encounter, he pleaded with officers, stating that he was not armed. He was later taken into custody at the Broward Sheriff’s Office.

A family member told CBS News Miami that they had been trying to get Colbert help for days prior to the incident. Before the standoff, iHeartMemphis posted a series of cryptic messages online. He also shared footage of Coco Bliss, the mother of his child, appearing to try to help him as officers arrived to conduct a wellness check.

Additionally, authorities say Colbert allegedly told officers that he was God. In another video, he referenced clouds in the sky and claimed he was being spied on. Police confirmed that no injuries were reported. Colbert was transported to a hospital for evaluation and is now facing charges of making written or electronic threats to kill and resisting an officer. The situation remains under investigation.

Coco Speaks Out And Shares An Update On iHeartMemphis’ Mental Health

Following the incident involving iHeartMemphis, Coco Bliss took to Instagram asking for prayers as she shared a photo of Memphis holding their daughter, Lael. She later updated supporters on Snapchat, revealing she was able to speak with him following his arrest. According to Coco, he sounded “normal again” during their call and is willing to get help. She added that she is taking this time to look for a treatment facility for him once he bonds out.

“That’s why you never ever give up on the people you love… mental health is very real.”

Coco also reassured fans that their daughter is safe and that his dog, who was seen in his livestream, is okay as well. She even gave supporters a glimpse inside their home following the police standoff, showing shattered glass, broken furniture, and visible damage. Coco, along with a few friends, began cleaning up the space.

After critics flooded the comments diagnosing Memphis with schizophrenia and questioning why she was helping him, Coco stepped into The Shade Room Teens with a response. She wrote,

“The lease is in my name. I have no choice but to try and clean up as much as I can. The messier it is the more I’m going to have to pay.” She added, “Also Memphis does not have schizophrenia. He is not diagnosed with any mental illness as of now. He is court ordered to go be evaluated by a psychiatrist.”

Online Reactions Continue As Supporters Send Prayers 

Many gathered under The Shade Room Teens as they reacted to the news involving iHeartMemphis. An outpouring of prayers and support flooded the comments, as many expressed they felt it was unjust for authorities to arrest him while he’s battling mental health issues. Others also urged Coco to seek help for herself as well.

Instagram user @yonnsss._ wrote, “He don’t need jail time he needs help!!! | hope he can get thru this storm smh he looks so different.”

Instagram user @fariesxmonet added, “mental health is very serious, praying for him”

Netflix releases thousands of new projects every year, and while some are given the chance to continue beyond one season, others are unfairly cancelled before things get a chance to get going. Platforms cancelling big-budget shows that end on a cliffhanger have become one of the most frustrating streaming trends over the last few years. Netflix isn’t the only one that’s guilty of it, but the streaming Goliath does have something of a cancellation reputation that is getting harder to shake with each new axing. The streamer has cut down on this slightly by marketing many of its new shows as limited series.

One project that received the axe last year, much to the disappointment of fans, was The Abandons. The seven-part Western thrill ride stars Game of Thrones veteran Lena Headey, along with Gillian Anderson, Nick Robinson, and more. The show follows a diverse group of families who must push back against a system that is pushing for coveted land. The Abandons earned scores of 30% from critics and 51% from audiences on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes, which may not be anything to glance at twice. However, many would argue that the show is misunderstood and could have further gained its footing in future seasons.

At the time of writing, The Abandons has officially exited every top 10 streaming list around the world. The series was heading in the right direction until Netflix announced last month that it had been cancelled, which led to many giving up on watching it if it was not going to have another season. TV shows have never felt less like long-term investments than they do now, and this trend is only poised to get worse as more time passes.

What Else Is Streaming on Netflix Right Now?

The most popular show on Netflix right now is Unfamiliar, the German spy thriller starring Felix Kramer and Susanne Wolf. The show has even overtaken the latest seasons of Bridgerton and The Lincoln Lawyer, as well as Sullivan’s Crossing, which is flying high with a new season on the way. The most popular movie on Netflix right now is The Rip, the Miami-set crime thriller starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Glen Powell’s 2024 huge summer blockbuster, Twisters, has also become a massive streaming success.

Be sure to watch all seven episodes of the first and only season of The Abandons on Netflix and stay tuned to Collider for more streaming updates.

Angelina Jolie Is Reportedly Preparing To Relocate

Young and the Restless spoilers for Feb 16-20 suggest Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) is stealing everything, and Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) is going to be raging.

As we always do on early edition day, we start with what’s coming the rest of this week. Then, we’re going to dive into what’s coming next week.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: This Week’s Major Drama

On Wednesday, February 11th, Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) updates Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) that the police know where Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) is. They’ve confirmed Dominic Chancellor (Ethan Ray Clark) is with her, and she is going to be arrested soon.

Tessa tells him that Mariah lost interest in her and their daughter Aria Porter-Copeland (Millie Ingle). Tessa said that after all that, she just decided to stop fighting her feelings for Daniel. In the end, Tessa has no regrets about being with Daniel. He has no regrets either.

Y&R Spoilers: Mariah, Dominic, and the Emotional Standoff

Tessa says that Mariah is facing prison once she’s back and will need support. The question is whether that support will come from her or if she’ll leave that to Sharon Newman (Sharon Case).

Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway), Devon Hamilton Winters (Bryton James), Sharon, and Detective James Burrows (Matt Cohen) are on a private plane. They are heading to stop Mariah from leaving the country with Dominic. And they all agree that Mariah needs help. They just need to get Dominic to safety.

Mariah is in New Mexico. She was heading for the border. They debate how to approach her safely, and in the end, they decide Sharon needs to do it instead of the cops.

Dominic’s Ordeal and the Private Plane Rescue on Young and the Restless

Mariah is driving with Dominic. He’s complaining that he wants his parents. Mariah says they don’t want him right now. Dominic freaks out when Mariah says they are going to their new home. He doesn’t like her calling him Bowie.

He starts yelling at her to stop and call his parents. Dominic unbuckles his seatbelt to grab the phone. Mariah is yelling and crying. Then she rants at Dominic for not appreciating her, and she says sorry. Dominic calls Mariah mean, and she says they can’t go home.

She talks about how she has a more significant bond with him than Abby does because he grew in Mariah’s belly. Dominic nods off as Mariah talks again about being his mommy and Dominic being her son. She has pulled over for this whole confrontation.

Y&R Spoilers: Sharon and Abby Reunite with Dominic

Then, Sharon gets in the car with her and says she brought some special people to see Dominic. The kid wakes up. Abby and Devon are there. Dominic runs to them, and they get him loaded onto the private plane on Young and the Restless.

Dominic tells them Mariah was taking him to Mexico. So, Dominic says that he dreamed his daddy Chance Chancellor (Conner Floyd) was watching over him from heaven. They tell Dominic that the police are going to take Mariah to a doctor because she is really sad.

Devon calls Tessa and lets her know they have Dominic. He is safe, and Mariah has been arrested. Tessa is crying in Daniel’s arms. She says she has to let Mariah go. She is ready to move on with Daniel.

Detective Burrows lets Mariah know that once they’re back in Genoa City, she is going to be charged with kidnapping.

Emotional Fallout for Mariah and Sharon on Young and the Restless

Sharon is there with Mariah. She tells her that moms find their daughters when they’re lost. Sharon tells Mariah she loves her no matter what. They will get through this. Mariah is crying on her mom’s shoulder. She clearly needs help.

On Thursday, February 12th, Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) is stunned when Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) shows up at the Abbott mansion really worked up and upset. I wonder if she’s going to tell Jack about Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) kidnapping.

Big Moves for Jack Abbott and Nikki Newman on Y&R

We know that Nikki is going to tell Jack she’s worried about what Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) is going to do next. She fears he may go too far beyond what she can tolerate. Jack and Nikki are hugging, and he’s comforting her.

Diane walks in and is really irritated to see Nikki in Jack’s arms. Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) spies on Phyllis and Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) plotting. She may overhear Phyllis bragging about chloroforming Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn).

Phyllis, Billy, and Victoria: Plotting and Power Plays

We know that Phyllis is rushing to transfer assets over to them so Victor can’t get them back from Cane. It looks like Newman Enterprises is meant for Phyllis, Chancellor is meant for Billy, and he asked for Newman Media to go to Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope). Phyllis didn’t like that but agreed to it.

I don’t even know if Billy’s girlfriend would accept it. I don’t think she would. Also, Victor realizes something shocking about Cane. On Thursday, we’ll see Victor over at the Cane train. He is in the bedroom when Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) walks in and sees Cane lying there, still as a corpse.

At first, Adam worries that Victor did something to Cane. Of course, we know Phyllis just chloroformed him. Unless they figure it out, they may think Cane’s drunk. They are definitely going to realize he’s unconscious.

Young and the Restless: Adam, Chelsea, and the Valentine’s Day Surprises

On Friday, February 13th, Adam is romancing Chelsea Lawson Newman (Melissa Claire Egan) for Valentine’s Day. I’m sure they are going to try to forget all the Newman drama, at least for the day. Billy is going over the top to try and prove himself to Sally. But I think she will be upset if Billy tries to give her Newman Media for Valentine’s Day.

I don’t think Sally will like Billy trying to give her something that’s stolen. Especially if it’s because Billy’s conspiring with Phyllis. That’s not going to help. Plus, Sally is happy with Abbotcom. If Newman Media is some sort of grand gesture from Billy, I think it’s going to fall flat.

Meanwhile, Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) is working overtime to impress Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) for Valentine’s Day. It looks like he’s not going to accept the breakup. He may head to Los Angeles.

Y&R February Sweeps: What’s Next?

The week of February 16th through the 20th is the last full week of February sweeps. Sweeps wraps on the 25th. The following week we’ll have three more episodes of sweeps. Sharon supports Mariah as she is back in Genoa City facing criminal charges for kidnapping Dominic. Christine Williams (Lauralee Bell) is back soon, likely to represent Mariah.

I have no doubt Christine is going to enter an insanity plea as she should because Mariah is totally unhinged. Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) pain grows. It’s not getting any better. He’s going to be out of his prescription pills soon that he and Sharon got from the doctor. By the end of sweeps, I think Nick’s growing pain and medication crisis is going to move to the front burner.

Returns to Genoa City: Lily, Patty, and Matt Clark

Lily is going to be back on screen in March. Christel Khalil is already back filming after giving birth to baby number three. Stacy Haiduk is returning as Patty Williams. She will also be on air in March. Maybe interacting with Mariah.

I do suspect we may get one last hurrah from Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) by the end of sweeps. There is a spoiler saying, just when you think he’s gone, he’s back. There’s one last big confrontation and conflagration.

Noah and Sienna: Romance on the Edge on Young and the Restless

Noah’s heart is in Sienna’s hands, but I doubt she is going to stay with him. It’s probably going to send him back to Genoa City alone and brokenhearted. Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin) search for dirt on Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) intensifies while she and Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) are in LA. Claire wants to head to that gallery to get some answers. Sienna may give her some more info too.

Diane, Sally, Cane & Phyllis: Who Comes Out on Top?

Diane is just about over Jack being so close and so unreasonably loyal to his ex-wife Nikki. Sally is unsure what to do about Billy. We’ll find out if Cane was knocked out long enough for Phyllis to get everything she wanted.

If so, the big losers are going to be Cane and Victor. If you remember, Cane called Amanda Sinclair (Mishael Morgan) and said, “Destroy the AI and draw up paperwork to transfer the assets back to Victor.” So, I do suspect the AI is destroyed. But with Amanda doing paperwork while Phyllis is moving things electronically, I think she may beat Amanda to the punch.
