Soap Preview for the Week of June 9-13, 2025: A Jaw-Dropping Reveal, Two Devastating Goodbyes and a Murderous Match Made in Hell

Andre and Dani have chemistry to burn. But even a card-carrying player like him has to arch an eyebrow over his lover’s obvious concern about her former husband. Is Bill, of all people, about to stick a fork in Andre and Dani’s sizzling affair — and without even trying?!? Is Andre that jealous and insecure?

It seems like Lucky only just returned to Port Charles. But in the wake of his proposal to Elizabeth — and her resounding no — he’s packing up and moving on yet again. Before he does so, though, he’s gotta try to find the words to say goodbye to sis Lulu. May we recommend that he not use “See ya in another decade!”

Nope. We are in no way, shape or form ready to tune into the funeral of John Black. But we’ll be doing so, anyway, as all those who loved him pay their respects. Read the cast’s memories of the late, great Drake Hogestyn.

Sounds like Thursday, June 12, is going to be the day that it finally comes out that Willow’s mother had a tawdry affair with the sleaze who is now (groan) the love of Willow’s life. After Sasha’s already given birth in the courtroom, what else could cause the “shockwaves” that the show says rips through it?

It will soon be a lot easier for Daniel to smile like he means it as opposed to… you know… like this. Dad Danny and Christine are back in Genoa City. “Do I have to get on some kind of VIP list,” Daniel cracks, “to find out my favorite rock star’s in town?” On an unrelated subject, has the show forgotten that it said he was going to take a walk on the emotional wild side? Did we miss it?

We suppose we have to give her props for determination, if nothing else. “I am going to make the most out of my freedom,” Luna tells Poppy the week of June 9, “and nothing is going to stop me.” Sigh. If only the double murderer making the most of her freedom didn’t mean that she was going to go for a hat track by killing Steffy next!

Dante and Brook Lynn may want nothing more than to clear the air and bond with their newfound son, Gio. But he’s not looking for anything more than the sun over his head and the Metro Court pool at his feet. “I have everything I need,” he’ll soon insist. Wonder how long till he at least gets curious about what his parents have to say…

Chelsea’s taken a big gamble on Madison — and it might actually pay off the week of June 9. The doc supports her as her father works his way toward recovery and even challenges her emotionally. Which, we know, sounds like a bad thing. But it’s the people that push us that ultimately understand us the best, no?

Tessa thinks that she is prepared to hear whatever Mariah admits she did while out of town. But is Tessa just kidding herself? We won’t find out, because the redhead continues to refuse to spill the beans. “There is nothing safe in telling you what I did,” she says. “There is nothing safe at all.” Maybe during November sweeps?

Especially in the wake of John’s passing, Bo and Hope are making the most of every second they get. But his new lease on life may be a short one. He just got off the endangered list, and already, he’s going to defy doctor’s orders. Once a rebel, always a rebel, we suppose.

A dyed-in-the-wool conniver, Audra should know better than to scheme with Victor — or, for that matter, anyone — where they can be heard. So she has no one to blame but herself when Holden eavesdrops on the tycoon telling her that it’s incumbent upon her to get Kyle to attend Aristotle Dumas’ party.

Cue Carly’s shocked look because the news that Michael has to share with his mother on Wednesday, June 11, is destined to leave her jaw on the floor. Also, maybe it’s time she switched to decaf. Life in Port Charles is enough to jangle anyone’s nerves.

As you can see, Poppy and Li haven’t always been what you’d call close. But when Luna’s mother starts to fears that the menace to society is coming ungled, it’s her older sibling to whom she turns. Will Li be moved to unleash her “Nozawa power” once again on Luna? (Side note: Shouldn’t Poppy have come to this conclusion when her daughter killed two dudes and framed her for the murders?)

All things considered, Eva has been doing amazingly well considering how completely her life has been turned upside-down. But will she be able to remain on an even keel when newfound father Ted makes her an offer she didn’t see coming? At this point, maybe she’ll be like, “Whatevs. What’s one more surprise? Bring it on!”

As the custody hearing gets even uglier — and believe it or not, that is possible — Drew stoops to a new low. And yes, that, too, is possible even though we’d have sworn that by now he’d hit rock bottom. As for Willow, when push comes to shove, Michael’s estranged wife holds her ground.

Is “Shelle” going to reunite? It sure sounds like it. Not only does Shawn comfort Belle as she grieves her father’s passing, but he later issues an apology to Jada… just as his former wife is dropping a truth bomb on EJ.

Trina’s always known that Ava has her back. So there’s no one better to whom she could turn when she needs to open up. Will Ava have sage advice to offer her protegé as her relationship with Kai continues to intensity? 

Damian and Holden are as close as brothers. But that could be changing, and fast, as their bond is put to the kind of test that only Genoa City can tee up. Will they manage to hug it out in the week ahead… or decide to shake hands and go their separate ways?

Can you imagine a more nightmarish pair to run into at the shooting range? On one hand, you’ve got Electra’s crazed stalker. On the other, you’ve got Finn’s daughter the homicidal maniac. Nothing good can possibly come of Remy and Luna running into each other — and armed, no less!

Not just Fairmont Crest but hell must be freezing over in the week ahead as Hayley and Dani rally around Bill in his hour of need. Though, if you ask us, what he really needs is less attention; that man’s ego is the size of a tractor trailer, and it’s only getting bigger!

Before Anna reflects on her past in the Friday, June 13, episode, you can revisit her whole history in our massive photo gallery that goes back even further than portrayer Finola Hughes’ life in Port Charles.

Not sure that we’d pick Tate as the first person in whom we’d confide if we were looking to impart a secret as juicy as the one Ari is keeping — that she slept with Doug. Nonetheless, Gabi’s daughter drops a bombshell on Tate and urges him to keep his lips zipped.

Somebody needs to tell Victor that it’s OK sometimes to make a request instead of give an order. This week, he attempts to put son Adam in checkmate by issuing an ultimatum — no doubt as part of his endless vendetta against Billy Boy. When will Victor learn that if he’d just leave the guy alone, he’d shoot himself in the foot soon enough!

With Luna on the loose, Finn and Liam share a singular priority: keeping Steffy and the kids safe. In particular, Steffy, since she’s whom Luna blames for… well, everything from her banishment to climate change. “How do we make sure Steffy’s protected?” Liam is about to ask Finn. “We have to protect her!” Maybe Forrester could put out a line of Kevlar fashions?

As if there weren’t already going to be a river’s worth of tears shed as Salem salutes John, Jack takes advantage of the opportunity to pay his respects to his and Jennifer’s late daughter, Abigail. That is, if she’s really dead.

If anybody is going to be able to broker peace, it’s going to be natural born problem-solver Maxie. But who is she trying to convince to kiss and make up? Is she hoping to get Dante to forgive Chase, Lulu and Cody? Is Maxie aiming to mend the rift between Brook Lynn and Lois? We hope she isn’t trying to cool off Michael and Willow, because that ship done sailed!

This sounds a little bit like a kid setting a trap for a wild animal; it can’t possibly go well for the kid. Yet Kat nonetheless risks her neck by endeavoring to get Dana/Leslie/whatever right where she wants the madwoman. Perhaps if Eva saves Kat, the fashionista will finally cut her half sister at least a little slack?

Given that the week begins with Kristina being struck by inspiration, we can well imagine why Alexis winds up having cause for alarm. The last time Kristina was “inspired,” she tried to murder Ava and came thisclose to making roadkill of Ric and Elizabeth instead.

Are Chanel and Johnny going to wind up adopting Tate and Sophia’s baby after all? First, Chanel asks the father-to-be about it, then Johnny shares his fears his with his wife. You know what they say: It ain’t over till it’s over.

Liam hasn’t exactly been dealing with his diagnosis in a bubble, what with Steffy, Hope, Finn and Grace all being in the know. But Hope thinks that it’s time her former husband bit the bullet and shared what he’s going through with, you know, everyone else.

Drew may not have liked the eyeful that he got of Willow with Michael and the kids, but was it anything more than a moment of chill between the former spouses as they ooh’d and aah’d over baby Daisy? Here’s what Rory Gibson has to say about the woman Michael wants to be with.

Since the week includes Friday the 13th — aka the date of Dumas’ eagerly anticipated party — it stands to reason that we’ll finally find out who he is. That is, if we haven’t already figured it out. Check out our analysis of the evidence and see if you agree that Dumas is really [Spoiler].
