HOLLYWOOD—Get ready daytime soap lovers because May sweeps are upon us and some of your favorite soaps are about to unleash some epic secrets and storylines to keep tails wagging. “ General Hospital,” “The Young and the Restless,” “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “Days of Our Lives” are upping the ante.

The truth about the Cassie (Camryn Grimes) look alike has exploded in an epic way. Nick (Joshua Newman) discovered the elusive party spying on Sharon (Sharon Case) at Abby’s engagement party. The scary twist is that the Cassie lookalike has a connection to Ian Ward. That cannot be a good, I’m intrigued about what secrets this duo shares and just what Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) will do when he discovers the truth. This devious plot has Victor being shunned by Nicki (Melody Thomas Scott), Nick, Sharon, Victoria and so many more in town.

Speaking of Victoria, her life is in turmoil thanks to the back and forth between Stitch and Billy. So which guy will ultimately win her heart? Stitch is keeping a major secret, which Kelly continues to use against him. Billy is onto the cover-up, it’s just a matter of time before the truth surfaces. Other happenings inGenoa City include the upcoming nuptials between Tyler and Abby, but a stalker is planning to make their lives a living hell; we’ve yet to see that face, until this week when it was revealed that Tyler’s ex, Mariah is none other than the Cassie lookalike! That twist I did not see coming a mile away. Whoa!

Over in Salem, the mystery involving Sami (Alison Sweeney), Gabi (Camilla Banus) and Kate (Lauren Koslow) and Nick (Blake Berris) is reaching a fever pitch. It’s unlike Sami and Kate to condone such violent tactics and threats to be used against them. This forces me to suspect an impending death is coming to Salem and its going to be a big one. Speaking of Sami, she’s on a whirlwind thanks to the revelation that she learned that her hubby EJ has been secretly hooking up behind her back with Abigail. If there is one thing audiences know best about Sami Brady is she ALWAYS gets what she wants no matter who gets hurt in the process.

 

In Port Charles, Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Ava (Maura West) consumed with grief over AJ’s demise, gave into temptation. It wasn’t the best choice, as Morgan (Bryan Craig) realized what his father and girlfriend had just done and revealed the truth to Olivia. Looks like Morgan is getting closer to Kiki (Kristen Alderson) thanks to her current situation involving Luke. We all know Luke is not himself, but exactly who is he? He’s been doing some heinous things: threatening little kids, putting the life of Sabrina (Teresa Castillo), Patrick (Jason Thompson) and Emma in jeopardy.

 

To make matters worse, Carlos and the rest of the town suspects that Ava had a hand in the accident. I can only imagine what fury she’ll unleash when she discovers the truth. Carly (Laura Right) and Franco (Roger Howarth) are working close to uncover the truth that Ava murdered Connie and framed it on AJ. The biggest event of the month will be the Nurses Ball, where I’m sure secrets involving Dr. Obrecht and Madeline (Donna Mills) will surface. Just what are these two devious ladies up to? Well Madeline dropped a bomb on Nathan revealing that his supposedly dead sister, Nina, is very much alive! Cue the fireworks for Silas (Michael Easton) and Sam (Kelly Monaco).

 

Gorgeous people have big problems, as “The Bold and the Beautiful” is bringing deception front and center. No one could have expected Taylor (Hunter Tylo) to return to the canvas. Not only does this put a snag in Brooke’s (Katherine Kelly Lang) plan to take down her sister Katie (Heather Tom), but her quest to get Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) back.  Katie and Brooke are indeed going after one another. They have to remember they are blood, but I suspects things will get quite dicey before a reunion takes place. Firecracker Ally has been tamed thanks to heartthrob Oliver who has caught her eye. Unfortunately, Maya is well aware of Oliver’s duplicity and plans to make things crystal clear to Ally is falling heads over heels for the guy.

 

Seems like some of that advice that she dished to her cousin Hope, she should be taking herself. Speaking of Hope, she is still caught in a twisted love triangle between Wyatt and Liam. This seems to have been going on for years now, this girl needs to choose. Who owns your heart once and for all? They’ve both done horrible things to her; it’s just a question who she thinks about when she sleeps at night.

 

These are just a few teases as to what is currently transpiring on your favorite soaps, as with any sweeps month, big surprises are always unleashed to audiences, so I expect some major surprises on “GH,” “Y&R,” “B&B” and “Days.”
