On episode 1175 of Daytime Confidential, Luke Kerr, Jillian Bowe, Josha 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, including:

Hayley's fake prengancy ends on Beyond the Gates. Will she get away with her deception now that Naomi knows the truth? When will Bill find out?

What is up with The Bold and the Beautiful's pattern of making black and asian people the villains? It's glaring and not a good look. Brooke takes a spill off a boat in Italy and Ridge dove into the ocean to save her. Who knew he was such a good swimmer?

EJ torches his relationship with Belle as a ploy to save Johnny on Days of Our Lives. A Xander, Gabi and EJ triangle could be extremely hot, but no one on the DC podcast wants to see Sarah and Brady as a couple. Sami returns to Salem to comfort her mother after John's funeral.

Rena Sofer is OUT as Lois at General Hospital. She will be much missed and hopefully can pop in from time-to-time. Anna is kidnapped by Brennan. When will Carly find out that her boyfriend recruited her daughter into the WSB? Obrect faces off opposite Lulu and Dante.

Billy is being written way out of character on The Young and the Restless. No one believes Billy cares more about getting Chancellor back than his family and Jabot. Why was Jill more concerned about Billy not being the one to call her about Chance's murder and why didn't he push back when she laid into him? The Audra, Kyle and Claire storyline is putting us to sleep.

All this and more on the latest Daytime Confidential podcast!
