GEORGE DICKIE ZAP2IT ( This column represents on-air summaries for the week of Aug. 14-18.)
The Bold and the Beautiful: Stricken with guilt, Caroline told Bill she wanted to come clean with Thomas. Eric called Sheila with an update on his marriage and advised her about her future in Los Angeles. Sheila ran into a testy Quinn when she went to the Forrester mansion to return a misplaced item, and an epic argument between the two women ensued. When Eric found Sheila unconscious, he freaked out, but after Sheila came around, Quinn accused her of exaggerating her injury. Justin tried to talk Dollar Bill out of his plan to acquire the Spectra building. Bill made an extremely lucrative offer to CJ. Sally and Shirley were convinced Bill is out to destroy them. After he interrupted a moment between Brooke and Bill, Liam realized she didn't know how obsessed Bill was with securing the Spectra building. Sally tried to persuade CJ to give Spectra another chance. Much to Quinn’s horror, Sheila moved into the Forrester guest house. Bill sent Liam to interview Sally, but expected the story to reflect his biased opinion of her. Liam tried to charm Sally by confessing that his father didn't approve of him. Later, Bill told Steffy he worried about Liam’s loyalty to him and his company.
Days of Our Lives: Marlena finally connected with John and begged for his help, while Brady made a surprising discovery while ransacking Eric’s room. Eric, meanwhile, wasn't sure what to make of things when he interrupted Bonnie and Hattie’s party. Sonny recalled an important memory from the night Deimos was murdered. Kayla was shocked when Tripp offered her an apology for everything he has done. Steve and Roman discussed Joey's apparent need to somehow atone for killing Ava. Hope, Rafe and Raines were incredibly frustrated that they couldn't identify Dario’s partner. Abe confronted Theo about his willingness to break the law for the DiMeras. Hope and Rafe made a startling arrest, while Claire saw an upsetting image on her tablet. Kayla pleaded with Joey not to turn himself in for Ava’s murder. Chloe had some strong words with Brady about his boozing. Bonnie was attracted to Lucas. Adrienne frantically tried to convince everyone at the prison that she wasn’t Bonnie. Hattie posed as Marlena in a bid to win over Roman. Nicole had an intense confrontation with Brady. Chloe wondered whether Eric was still carrying a torch for Nicole.
General Hospital: Finn received some absolutely horrible news, while Sonny was lost in his own thoughts. Dante couldn't shake the strong sense that he had been duped. Monica’s day went from bad to worse, but Julian felt pretty good about his own situation. While Dante put some questions to Nelle, Jason took matters into his own hands. Carly’s suspicions began to mount. Joss had a date with Oscar, while Griffin surprised Ava, who was fantasizing about what life would be like without her scars. Dr. Obrecht became consumed by curiosity, and Liz virtually put her life on hold. Finn expressed his gratitude to Curtis, while Kristina took some time out to reminisce. Dr. Obrecht came to rue her own gloating when it backfired spectacularly on her. Finn lucked out and got the help he needed. Nathan brought Amy up to date on the “Man Landers” situation. Ava got lost in her fantasy world, while Kiki had some advice to offer someone. Liz tried to encourage Griffin. Nina drew up a list of demands.
The Young and the Restless: Nikki told Victor she had left the Newman ranch and moved into a local hotel. An argument ensued, with Victor telling Nikki she and Nick would regret crossing him. After she left, Victor admitted to Abby that he and Nikki officially had separated. As Dina prepared for her first day at Jabot, Graham tried to convince her not to take the job, but her mind was made up. At work, Dina tried to move into Jack’s office, but he insisted he needed privacy, so they couldn’t share a space. Dina’s mood didn’t improve when Nikki arrived and Jack admitted that the two of them had taken things to the next level. At the athletic club, Billy ran into Benjamin Hochman and accused him of dating Victoria as a way to get his hands on Brash & Sassy, but Benjamin shot back a nasty crack about Phyllis. When Cane came home later, he caught Reed and Mattie making out, so he threw Reed out. Lily accused Hilary of stealing her commercial and ruining her marriage. Scott went undercover as a client of the prostitution ring and questioned Natalia, one of the escorts, who admitted to knowing Crystal, but added she was sent away for misbehaving.
