On episode 1187 of Daytime Confidential, Luke Kerr, Jillian Bowe and Joshua Baldwin dish the latest Beyond the Gates, The Bold and the Beautiful, Days of Our Lives, General Hospital and The Young and the Restless headlines and storylines.

BEYOND THE GATES

Eva and Kat go head-to-head, and neither blinks. Leslie stirs the pot at the club and enjoys every second. Hayley eyes both Bill and Izaiah. The panel floats theories about Hayley's angle and how Izaiah might catch on. Andre and Dani's relationship continues to evolve.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL

Luna pulls off a jailbreak and the guards are written like fools. The discussion hits the contraband phone, the laundry-through-the-bars mess and the beach house lacking security. Bill's new zen phase gets mocked as temporary at best.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES

Days of Our Lives kicks off its 60th anniversary with flashbacks and Horton family history. Holly and Tate's film assignment ties into the celebration. The gala mixes nostalgia with confrontations. Jennifer and Chad face off over his children. Sami returns, clashes with EJ and Belle and reveals a sudden engagement. Marlena's health deteriorates and more DiMeras go missing while Rolf resurfaces.

GENERAL HOSPITAL

Rocco's arrest turns into a full adult court case because New York tries 16-year-olds as adults. The remand gets called absurd even under the law. Laura can't pull strings during the election. Danny wants to take the blame. Trina returns and puts Jordan on notice.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS

Matt Clark continues to gaslight Sharon as she unravels. Audra and Holden's past comes up again with questions about money and what he actually did. Cane's company collapses after Victor turns the program against him. Phyllis gives Victor the tool used on Cane. Lily's approach frustrates the panel, and Y&R needs to rebuild its teen scene.
