On episode 1179 of Daytime Confidential Luke Kerr, Joshua Baldwin and Melodie Aikels dish the latest Beyond the Gates, The Bold and the Beautiful, Days of Our Lives, General Hospital and The Young and the Restless, including:

Luna wants to be pregnant on The Bold and the Beautiful. Thomas is back, but his relationship is over.

Leslie and Hayley crash the Dupree family's crisis on Beyond the Gates. One of the two had a better reason to be there. Should BTG pursue a Jacob and Kat pairing? Who had canabalism on their 2025 Soap Opera Bingo Card? Not us.

Kristen is sentenced on Days of Our Lives, but not before Brady interrupts and tells the judge to throw the book at Kristen. Did the DAYS writers forget that at their previous child Brady and Kristen were told Rachel would be taken away if anything more happened? Why isn't Rachel being taken away? Gabi is threading the needle between Xander and Philip. DAYS casts a new Theo Carver.

Who Shot Drew is General Hospital's big storyline and the ABC soap has been building to this moment for close to a year. There are so many motives. There are so many suspects. Luke speculates who the shooter might be based on the shadow standing over Drew. We will not be happy if the shooter ends up being a day player like the Jacinda character. Josh needs the Eastern Europe spy storyline to return to Port Charles ASAP. How much longer should Jason, Britt, Josslyn and Vaughan be kept that the nightmairish resort?

Where is The Young and the Restless getting the money to bring on four new actors, two of which are big names like Roger Howarth and Tamara Braun? Who will get cut to make room in the budget for them and Matt Cohen and Lucas Adams? If Y&R had all this money, why didn't they bring Tricia Cast and Jess Walton back for the Chance funeral? Is Y&R laying the groundwork for a Who Shot Cane? We hope not. Cane hasn't been back long enough. Is Y&R trying to take the lesbian out of their lesbian couple?
