On episode 1173 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 headlines and storylines. 

The Articulettes take the stage on Beyond the Gates and deliver show-stopping performances. There's more than a little off stage drama too. However, why did the climatic episode for Anita's main storyline  have such abrupt scene editing and why did BTG cut from the amazing concert scenes to the most boring scenes ever of a fireman, nurse and fridge triangle? What is behind Kat's regret about having sex with Tomas? The DC co-hosts discuss multiple potential explanations. 

Luna is ALIVE on The Bold and the Beautiful. We're happy because it means the talented Lisa Yamada will be on our screens, but can B&B come up with a good storyline for her? 

Al Calderon is leaving Days of Our Lives. Why can't the Peacock soap lock down the talented young actors/actresses it casts? Susan returns to Salem and Stacy Haiduk has the co-hosts enjoying every moment. Johnny's trial kicks off with EJ vs. Belle as attorneys.

The aftermath of Drew and Willow's botched wedding has been soapy goodness on General Hospital. Jason uncovers new information about Britt and goes to Anna. Erica Slezak teases the new character she'll introduce to Port Charles. 

What is going on at The Young and the Restless storylines? Who would have thought that the France storyline would be more interesting than the post-France storyline? Amy finds out her don is dead. What is going on with this Daniel and Tessa chem-testing. Bryton James will cross over to BTG, bringing Beyond the Gates into the same universe as B&B and Y&R.
