Who needs a boardroom when you have the drama of a daytime dynasty?

**The Bold and the Beautiful** - In the couture-filled corridors of Forrester Creations, today promises another day of unbridled passion and eye-watering betrayals.

**General Hospital** - Port Charles, where everyone is someone’s uncle’s cousin by marriage (don’t ask!), offers a medley of medical mysteries and mafioso machinations today. The truth lurking in the corridors of this vaunted establishment might just put ER to shame. Viewers can, high-heel-clicking in anticipation, hope for revelations about that dark secret from the past literal and metaphorical locked-in the basement. Meanwhile, another character’s bloodline is more twisted than a double helix, leaving everyone questioning what’s truly in their genes.
