original release date: Friday, June 5, 2026 | writers: Sara A. Bibel, Jazmen Darnell Brown | director: Sonia Blangiardo-Goins Thoughts: Well, here comes the introduction of Victor Newman. Martin knew Kyle back in New York? That is interesting and fun. Hopefully it will be a fun reunion. Not turning the casino into a fortress. I doubt Randy has the willpower to do that. That's hilarious. Yes, Vanessa, your man is meeting with the Impaler. And I hope you read him to filth for it. Ashley, please allow Grayson to at least begin to repair what's happened between you. He is not the one you should be mad at. He did not knowingly lead Derek to the warehouse. Makes me happy that Victor has been beyond the Dupree family dating back to Vernon's earlier days in the political world, and it shows a strong alliance for him to align with Martin now. Naomi is right: Derek made a choice, and the choice was his to make. No way Jacob could have known what Derek was going to do. This is the one time he does need to listen to his wife. I know his anger and grief are driving him right now. I know Grayson has pure intentions but he really needs to give Ashley some much-needed distance while she mourns and deals with Derek's death. Not the reverse psychology on Ashley from Naomi. She spoke some hard-to-swallow truths. Anita did well putting on a brave face in her phone call to Anastasia Belleclaire to get her presence to happen at the upcoming event. Joey, you are playing an awfully dangerous game right now. I hope you know what it is you are doing. I do think that Vernon's concerned about the event with Kenny coming to light, but Martin also brings up a solid point: there are so many hands at play that are at stake of being outed and losing it all. Randy followed Vanessa home? Oh, he is just a watchdog. I am glad that Vanessa brought up Douglas' past with Randy, and I hope it does hit home for him. Damn, Joey, how many guns do you really need during this meeting? Insanity. Oh sh*t. What a way to conclude this week! WOWZA! So Joey knows the Impaler. How interesting! BUCKLING UP FOR NEXT WEEK! YES! LET'S F**KING GO!!!! Notes: Bibel was the perfect choice for today's breakdown, especially with her history at The Young and the Restless. And Brown really did some outstanding script work. Well, it looks like Victor is comfortably settled back into his office at Newman, redressed and all. I appreciate that topics of grief are being handled a bit more realistically on Beyond the Gates. Not everything needs to be wrapped up within one or two episodes. Grief is not linear or as easy as it is often misrepresented as. So refreshing. I love getting these montage-type scenes, with one character overriding it with a dialogue piece. A great way to wrap up things, especially at the conclusion of a Friday episode.

Brook is insufferable. Katie did not steal Eric; she did not steal the Logan name (also HER name, more so than Brooke), and she is not tearing the family apart. Brooke's insufferability and self-centred nature are what have always torn the family apart. First with her affair with Bill and now this. She thinks she's God's gift to the world and she is not. She really thinks the world revolves around her and now that Katie is branching out on her own, she cannot handle that because she is not included or in control of it. Teaching Katie a lesson? Logan is doomed no matter what? Steffy is as insufferable as Ridge. I'm surprised Brooke and Steffy don't get along more. It's clear that Ridge's influence is fully embodied in them both. This delusion that Eric was "stolen" and manipulated to join Logan is laughable. It was Ridge who forced his retirement onto him. FORCED. Without discussion or a choice. Eric did not want to go, but no, we cannot blame Ridge and his cult of followers for that, because that would be a Forrester doing something wrong. It's laughably pathetic. And advocating tirelessly for Hope and her line? That's hilarious. Absolutely hilarious. CALL HER OUT, KATIE! CALL HER OUT! It's about time someone called the Slut from the Valley out on her contempt and her clear preference for Ridge Forrester. Sorry Brooke, but at least Katie never slept with her children's partners. "That's all I need, Brooke. Just a little Hope." DAMN! Heather Tom is a monster! She dominated those scenes, and Katherine Kelly Lang was struggling to keep up.

Newman Enterprises returning so easily to the Newmans lacked such impact. I try not to compare to storylines of the past, but I am reminded of Jack returning Jabot to John and how much impact that had. Simple dialogue but still held some impact. This missed all of that. Every single beat was missed. A build-up to just drop off. I'm sorry but not once in Wednesday or Thursday episodes did Phyllis ever make it about how Daniel and Summer would react. It was about her being backed into a corner, with no other option, and having the charges against her dropped. I'm glad Daniel is calling her out on that, too. It's so disingenuous. And with charges dropped against Phyllis, why hasn't Christine gone to Cane and told him the news, which would allow him to travel to New York with Lily to see Malcolm? I am genuinely hoping that Charlie and Maddie referring to Cane as "dad" is a sign of positive things to come and that returns are going to happen in the next six to eight months. I would never have wanted this, but thanks to the chemistry between Billy Flynn and Christel Khalil, I am all in for this to happen. The outdoor Chancellor Park Café set is cute. It's nice for more intimate scenes like these. Hoping, at some point, we do get to see some more of the interior, because from the hints we do get, it looks very comfortable. And if I am being honest, Audra and Holden show more promise to me than Claire and Holden ever have. They should be the pair that's put together. Joshua Morrow's subtle acting, in holding Nick's knee and being antsy, is a great way of showing us that Nicholas is struggling with withdrawals from the pills without having to say he is struggling in text. Once again, I am asking: why are we not turning Matt Clark in to the police while his memory is lapsed? Or why hasn't Victor dropped him into the cell that he kept/is still keeping Jordan Howard? And allowing him to clean up? Cmon now. I am genuinely excited to see the Shadow Room being used in Genoa City. It's a classic Y&R set and it looks authentic.

week of June 8, 2026 Monday, June 8, 2026 (Episode #15395) EJ's offer is refused. Philip threatens Xander. Rolf examines Lexie. Sarah asks Brady for help. Tuesday, June 9, 2026 (Episode #15396) EJ warns Gwen. Javi asks Gabi for a favour. Joy comes between Alex and Stephanie. Kristen and Xander bond. Wednesday, June 10, 2026 (Episode #15397) Alex tries to defuse the situation between Joy and Stephanie. Amy opens up to Melinda. Jada and Shawn grow closer. Leo pleads for Gwen to be careful. Tate and Holly enjoy some romance. Thursday, June 11, 2026 (Episode #15398) EJ and Xander spar. Kate comes clean to Roman. Paulina takes extreme action for Chanel. Sarah surprises Holly and Ari with a special gift. Theo supports Johnny. Friday, June 12, 2026 (Episode #15399) Alex tries to reason with Joy. Cat lies to EJ. Chad and Belle take Thomas and Charlotte to a baseball game. Jada and Shawn address their growing feelings for each other. Steve and Kayla support Stephanie.

Once again, we play "let's review things that happened for Lexie", and it's more a replay of the same things we've discussed. Chanel's and Johnny's scenes really did not hit the way they needed to. Her having cancer while pregnant is not landing simply because it does not feel like any research was done to ensure things were told more fluidly beyond "hey we're going to tell this story because we're a soap opera!" There is no intent to it, and that's irritating to me as a viewer. I really enjoyed the scenes between Cat and Rafe. But we do need some movement to happen sooner rather than later. But I did thoroughly enjoy their scenes together. Movement is happening. But it just needs to be kicked up a pace or two.

double post.

About to watch... can't wait to see how HORRIBLE it is because of Cwikly and Ford... and if Lio isn't in it, omg, it's why we're not in the top ten, right? Because that's how we measure how good the show is? And yes, I spell names wrong because it shows how much I can as an online bully.

It's about respect. Some have it. Some don't. You are one of the ones that does have respect, and that makes you a better individual.

A great decision to put Ryan Quan back in as co-head writer. He deserved a better chance than working with Dena Higley.
