Normally, the end of every Friday episode contains the "a Look Ahead" preview for the "next week". That same preview video is also uploaded online separately, and it gets posted on the spoiler threads. Thursday May 8 was preempted, which shifted all following episodes to the next airdate. The "look ahead" preview was attached to the end of episode that would have aired Friday May 9, but that episode was shifted to broadcast on Monday May 12. However, the Monday May 12 episode was accidentally uploaded early to CTV and CBS/paramount, so that's the only reason why the "look ahead" preview was available on Friday May 9 to post on the spoiler thread at the normal Friday time. As you noticed, there was no "look ahead" next week preview attached to the end of the Friday May 16 episode. Instead, the end of Friday May 16 episode had full credits -- including all actors, crew, and staff. The show is still off from the May 8 preemption, because the "look ahead" preview was attached to the end of Monday May 19.

Dull Rory Gibson replacing dull Chad Duell. okay, well at least they're consistent. His scenes on Y&R literally put me to sleep. GH picked the wrong Noah Newman.

I can't stand Andre with Ashley. Sean Freeman acts the scenes well but I just don't like how Andre is being written in his scenes with Ashley. (edit to clarify: the dialogue is stilted) The last few episodes have been same Fairmont day, everyone in same wardrobe. Fyi, I can't detect it from watching but Andre's white shirt is leather https://www.shopyourtv.com/tag/andre-richardson/ specifically goatskin leather: https://shop.mango.com/us/en/p/men/jackets-and-vests/overshirts/100-leather-overshirt-with-pockets_67085137

Oh wait, I got that wrong, I think? Correcting what I said: Chelsea and Bill both assumed that Dani was fake-kissing Pamela. But meanwhile Pamela asked for the reason for the kiss and Dani explained that she was trying to give Pamela something to focus on other than Diego. So now I think that Dani just wanted to help Pamela, but Bill and Chelsea misconstrued (as did I). But then Dani reverted to form and taunted Bill about it. Chelsea would be right if Dani was just kissing Pamela as a ruse to make Bill jealous. But maybe it was really about Pamela and not about Bill.

Really awesome. I think viewers who both like and dislike Dani might appreciate the scene, especially since Chelsea stood firm that it was about herself(Chelsea) and not about Dani.

I remember a couple months ago when Chelsea told Kat about the threesome and her interest in women. Pretty sure Naomi doesn't know because when Allison and Chelsea were on their previous date, Naomi invited her over to her table and some at the table assumed that Allison was in a conventional heterosexual monogamous marriage. Edit, oh I see that Dani didn't know either.

I don't care about a few of the storylines today.. but the Leslie/Eva scenes are well-worth watching. Leslie gaslighting Eva -- Leslie admitting to Eva that she was riding the motorcycle that ran Laura off the road AND admitting to the potassium, and then telling Eva that she'll go to jail too because she knew and didn't say -- Leslie claiming that Eva is an accessory-after-the-fact? The Chelsea/Allison scenes at Uptown, wow. Allison realizes that Chelsea is falling for her, and Allison's heart belongs to her husband, so Allison breaks off their casual fling since Chelsea's feelings aren't casual anymore. And then Chelsea walks into the country club when Dani is fake-kissing Pamela, and explodes at her mother that it's insulting to real women who actually love women.

She saw Bill enter the club with Hayley

Ashley says "I'm not needy" to Andre. Srsly?

Three episodes in a row of Ashley/Derek? Ugh. Thankfully we have Eva and Leslie

https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/21/politics/representative-connolly-dies Democratic Rep. Gerry Connolly of Virginia died on Wed. May 21, 2025, according to a statement from his family. He was 75. Last month, Connolly announced that he would not seek reelection and would soon step down from his leadership position on the powerful House Oversight Committee. Connolly said at the time that his esophageal cancer — a diagnosis he shared in November — had returned. “When I announced my diagnosis six months ago, I promised transparency. After grueling treatments, we’ve learned that the cancer, while initially beaten back, has now returned. I’ll do everything possible to continue to represent you and thank you for your grace,” he said in a statement at the time. https://x.com/GerryConnolly/status/1925166359983358136

Ashley is almost textbook OCPD (not OCD) per this: https://iocdf.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/OCPD-Fact-Sheet.pdf If she's not intentionally written that way, then it's an interesting coincidence -- maybe the writers know people who behave that way without knowing that terminology.

I watched almost all of this, in real time, with no recording devices and nobody in real life to discuss it with. I didn't have soap magazines, so I had no way to fill in any episodes I missed. But most of this is very familiar to me. Hard to believe it's been 49 years! I remember all of this except for Matt McAllister. But I do remember seeing a clip of Matt McAllister in this thread a few months ago. I remember Jenny being a nun but I don't remember anything about her having been a missionary in another country. It would be an exaggeration to say I remember it vividly -- it's tiny bits of memories from decades ago, so it's now quite fuzzy in my mind. But when I was watching, I felt it vividly -- I guess I can say I remember my own vivid emotions that I felt while watching.

I remember the arrival of three Webber siblings, and I liked Terri. (I know the Terry on GH most discussed by viewers was 1980s Brock's daughter, but this was someone else entirely, and a decade earlier). I think I remember Terri as having reddish hair? so I just googled the actress but can't find any color photos from that year. (I don't remember Pat Lambert at all)

I've been rewatching old episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine on ParamountPlus. There are times when Captain Sisko visits his father in New Orleans. Sisko's father runs a restaurant with specific local New Orleans cuisine, and we actually see and hear him recommending specific dishes to the restaurant customers. I can almost smell the aromas. I'd like to see occasional mention of the menu at Orphey Gene's Soul Food Cafe. Someone orders something, or mentions how much they enjoy something. They named Orphey Gene's after MVJ's mother. I want to feel it as a soul food restaurant and not as a generic diner set for conversations. I mean, obviously it will still be used as set for conversations, but give it more specific atmosphere.

LOL @Taoboi and I posted the same thing at the same time. And during the convo between Anita and police chief Elon, we learned that Elon's wife (Jacob's mother) is the police dispatcher and Jacob's brother is another cop. So maybe the reveal will happen after the entire family is shown onscreen?

I think the story with Jacob's partner the shady cop is coming. Remember a while back, we saw Jacob's father the police chief Elon Hawthorne, trying to defend the situation to Jacob. And separately, we saw Chief Elon ask Anita to help with the police event. *Speculation only* that the Articulettes (or Anita solo) will sing at the police event. I think bits and pieces of the cop/mobster storyline are being shown very intermittently, and it will build into a C story, then B, and then more, as the event gets closer. But for now the focus is on reuniting the Articulettes.

Skyy is listed in BTG credits as writers assistant. On May 17, 2025, Michele Val Jean posted a picture with Susan Dansby and Skyy Sandifer. https://www.instagram.com/p/DJx8j4GxegB/ What's currently airing (May 2025) for Days was filmed in September 2024, per the metadata of the JPI photos for week of May 19-23. (But DAYS films lots of things way out of order, so other stuff airing this week might have been filmed in August).

Second promo for week of May 19-23

Thursday May 22 U.S. (Wed. May 21 Canada) ^ source: thumbnail from (youtubetv-menu) for episode #13128 (Season 52, Episode 158)

IMDB credited that episode to Bill Bell and Pat Falken Smith, too, so obviously way off!

Like a 12-year-old

Marquita Goings (Hayley) played a younger version of Debbi Morgan's character in this project: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15364098/ I agree that June sounds like Hayley, and Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan!
