SOAP OPERA REVIEW
BOLD AND
BEAUTIFUL
As Brooke tried to get
Katie to take an interest in
mothering her baby, Katie
recalled advice she had
been given by Taylor, and
stunned Bill with a
shocking declaration.
Thomas grew increasingly
angry when Caroline
ignored his attempts to
win her back. Caroline was
shaken when Rick
confessed his role in
keeping Hope and Liam
apart.
DAYS OF OUR LIVES
After swearing to John
that she’s not in Salem to
cause trouble, but wants to
make amends, Kristen
offered to help EJ get
Sami. Much to Sami’s
frustration, Kristen is now
her boss. Nicole agreed not
to press charges against
Jennifer in return for
going away with Daniel,
but damning evidence
remained hidden at the
hospital. With Hope’s
blessing, Bo accompanied
Caroline to a treatment
program in California.
EMILY OWENS, M.D.
Emily’s bad reputation
with the nurses led to her
being handed a specific
case as revenge. With a
patient’s life on the line,
Emily weighed using the
secret she knows about the
chief of surgery to get a
procedure approved. To
avoid more awkwardness
with Will, Emily lied that
she’s interested in
someone else. Micah was
surprised to find someone
new making his mom’s
chemo treatments more
bearable.
GENERAL
HOSPITAL
Dante comforted Lulu,
who was stricken to learn
that she can’t have
children. Wanting to get
the real DNA test results
to Sam without
implicating himself, Todd
believed that the key lay
with Heather. Sonny
discovered that Joe Jr. is
at large and had
threatened Starr, who
pleaded with Trey to do the
right thing. Maxie
renewed her quest to land
Spinelli. Duke insisted to
Anna that all he wants is
to prove himself to her.
GOSSIP GIRL
Pressured to make her
Waldorf Designs fashion
show a success, Blair got
unlikely help, but still
faced a scandal on the
runway. Sage’s trickery
forced Serena to postpone
handling her issues with
Blair. When Nate
published Dan’s first
serialized article, it
produced a serious threat.
Chuck examined the clues
Amira left him to uncover
about what Bart is hiding.
NASHVILLE
As Rayna became
more involved in her
children’s lives and her
husband’s mayoral
campaign, she was taken
aback to learn that she and
Teddy face financial ruin.
Juliette offered Deacon an
exclusive contract to write
and tour with her.
Juliette’s troubled mother,
Jolene, made a dramatic
re-entry into her
daughter’s life. Scarlett
and Gunnar’s big break
with Watty was
threatened.
90210
Posing as a wealthy
investor, Naomi invited
Alec to her yacht, leading
to a kiss, which Naomi
rebuffed. Unaware that
Alec planted the kiss as
blackmail, Naomi told
Max. Liam learned that he
needs Vanessa’s approval
to finalize his video game
contract. Later, a detective
questioned Liam about
Vanessa’s whereabouts.
Riley insisted that Dixon
needs an attitude change
to recover. Silver worried
about losing her looks.
ONCE UPON A TIME
Regina continued to
restrain herself from
using magic in order to
win back Henry’s love,
but began seeing what
she believed is a ghost
from her past. When
Mary Margaret and
Emma discovered a
survivor from the ogre
massacre, Emma
wondered whether he
was telling the truth. In
the fairytale land that
was, Regina failed to
learn the dark arts
because her past is
preventing her from
using magic for evil.
PRETTY LITTLE
LIARS
On this special
Halloween broadcast, the
girls hoped to enjoy the
holiday and leave the
trauma with Nate in the
past. However, the
Rosewood Ghost Train
held more than tricks
and treats for its unwary
passengers. “A” was
clearly on the loose, and
amid the unexpected
guests was at least one
person who could make
the Halloween party
fatally memorable.
REVENGE
The arrival of people
from the past to the
Hamptons held special
significance for Victoria
and Emily. Victoria
would have to face the
one person whose advice
permanently changed
the course of her life.
Jack’s sense of duty was
uppermost with the
baby’s arrival. Padma’s
actions could have a
major effect on Nolcorp.
666 PARK AVENUE
Jane was menaced
by the spirit from the
suitcase. Gavin received
anonymous texts that
threatened Olivia’s
safety. Henry met with a
media consultant
interested in taking his
political career to a new
level. Brian showed his
jealousy when he grilled
Louise about her
rendezvous with Dr.
Evans while she was
recovering from the
elevator “accident.”
SWITCHED AT
BIRTH
On the season finale,
Bay’s parents tried to
persuade her to return
home, but instead Bay
and Zarra made a
decision that led to a
terrible result. The trial
against the hospital
reached a shocking
conclusion that had
consequences for many
people. Daphne met the
restaurant owner, not
under the best of
circumstances, as her
relationship with Jeff
went public.
VAMPIRE DIARIES
Dr. Fell helped
Damon and Klaus to
question Connor, which
led to a violent outcome.
Rebekah’s arrival at
Mystic Falls High led
Elena to learn that
confronting an old
vampire could be very
dangerous. Tyler was
visited by Hayley, a
werewolf who helped him
break his sire-bond to
Klaus. Stefan sought
advice from Caroline
about the hard time
Elena is having trying to
act normal.
YOUNG AND
RESTLESS
Adam confirmed to a
confused Sharon that she
set the fire at the
Newman ranch and
promised to make sure
that no one suspects her.
Nikki agreed to remarry
Victor and rebuild the
ranch for their wedding
reception. Phyllis told
Ronan she can’t have him
and a troubled Summer
in her life at the same
time. Jack suffered a
sharp pain in his back.

Your Week Ahead Horoscope
Oct. 19, 2012 - Oct. 25, 2012
by Lasha Seniuk
ARIES (March 21-
April 19): Don’t keep
secrets. Avoid
unnecessary suspicions
by being open and
transparent in all your
activities in the week to
come. You can have it
your way, but just
remember that others
need their way too.
TAURUS (April 20-
May 20): Don’t stray off
the charted course. All
that’s going on around
you may distract you
from fulfilling your
responsibilities. Stay
focused. You may spend
money foolishly this
week and regret it later.
GEMINI (May 21-
June 20): Recharge the
batteries. This week,
you could face projects
that will require intense
effort. Schedule some
down time to rejuvenate
and you’ll be ready for
the heavy work as the
workweek begins.
CANCER (June 21-
July 22): Take things
as they come. You don’t
have to stick to the
program. You’ll find
that you derive the most
satisfaction this week
by
acting
spontaneously; enjoy
whatever is started at
the spur of the moment.
LEO (July 23-Aug.
22): Rome wasn’t built
in a day. While you may
long for greatness in the
week ahead, patience
and hard work are
required to make these
dreams a reality. No one
starts at the top; work
your way upward.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-
Sept. 22): Read
between the lines. The
answers you seek are all
right in front of you this
week; it will be how you
interpret them that
makes all the
difference. Make plans
now and turn plans into
reality later.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
22): Go your own way.
Concentrate on doing
what you want in the
week to come and don’t
let the needs of others

derail your plans. It may
sound selfish, but you

you please yourself.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-
Nov. 21): With age comes
wisdom. This week, what
you may perceive to be
criticism from an elder
may actually be quite
helpful. You can’t change
certain situations, but you
can change how you react
to them.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
22-Dec. 21): Don’t answer
questions that no one
asked. You may consider
yourself an authority on
certain subjects, but that
doesn’t mean you should
always add your two cents
during the upcoming
week.
CAPRICORN (Dec.
22-Jan. 19): Say it like
you mean it. Don’t back
down from convictions -
even when pressured to
change your mind. In the
week to come, you can
enhance your reputation
by being honest and
sticking to principles.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-
Feb. 18): Not every day
has to be a march down
the road to success.
Sometimes, it’s better just
to kick back and enjoy the
simpler things in life.
Keep your schedule open
for adventures in the
week ahead.
PISCES (Feb. 19-
March 20): Don’t let
miscommunication lead
you astray. You may be
perfectly clear about your
intentions - but this week
people might be listening
to the tone you use rather
than what you are
actually saying.
