Soap fans are eager for their favorite programs to return to the air. They desire the networks to bring them fresh new episodes and long for details of when this will begin. It's going to be a while longer than originally projected for ABC and CBS programs, but there is some good news. The one remaining daytime drama on NBC will run out of new episodes later than originally thought. Earlier reports indicated that Days of Our Lives had enough episodes taped to last until mid August, but that now seems to have been incorrect. The most recent information given from Soaps.com is that the soap opera can go until October before running out of new material. Viewers are hoping this won't happen considering CBS announced last week that it's two remaining afternoon soaps will more than likely resume taping new episodes in June.

It takes about a month and a half for taped episodes to show up on the television screen so fans of The Bold and the Beautiful and The Young and the Restless can expect to see new programming possibly in August. ABC has given no updates regarding when General Hospital will start taping again but it's likely that all the shows will be back in action around the same time. This indicates that soap fans will go through most of the summer watching reruns. General Hospital just finished a week of episodes related to past Nurses Balls Soaps She Knows indicates that next week will be more highlights from the annual event. Fans will see the gala from from May of 2016, 2017, and 2018. Get ready to relive the Chupacabra caper and great acting from the kids. Spencer, Jake, Charlotte, and Emma will be featured.

The Young and the Restless will continue with theme week and during June 1-5 the Abbott family will be featured. On Monday, of next week, viewers will see the marriage of Brad Carlton and Traci Abbott from 1991. If Brad looks familiar it's because he was portrayed by Don Diamont, who is currently on The Bold and the Beautiful as Dollar Bill Spencer. On Tuesday, Victor Newman and Ashley Abbott make up after a breakup, while John and Jack Abbott have issues with each other regarding Jabot. This episode is from September 1999. Wednesday's show is from September 2001 when Jack proposes to Phyllis.

Thursday's program comes from August 2006, when Michael and Kevin help their mother fight for her place in the Abbott family. Longtime viewers will recall that Gloria was once married to John Abbott and was stepmom to the Abbott children. On Friday, fans get to see a more recent episode that had many viewers in tears. This is during Christmas in December 2019 where Dina is featured for the last time having a moment of clarity. As Traci sings Oh Come All Ye Faithful, her mother joins in on the chorus, loudly singing the words "Christ the Lord," as she waves her hands in the air.

On The Bold and the Beautiful, the original Sally Spectra will be featured on Monday as she battles with Stephanie and ends up in the pool. On Tuesday, the demented Sheila Carter returns and tries to kill Stephanie so she can have Eric. This was a crossover episode where Lauren Fenmore from The Young and the Restless shows up. Wednesday will give fans a look at one of the classic fights between Brooke and Taylor. This one was during the 2018 wedding between Liam and Hope. By the end of the program Steffy and Hope get into the fracas between their mothers and they all go back to the wedding party covered in cake. Thursday is a confrontation between Stephanie and Brooke at big bear cabin. On Friday fans get to see Liam and Thomas face off over Hope.

On Days of Our Lives, viewers will still see new episodes next week and here is what will take place. On Monday, Lani deals with the thoughts of a possible pregnancy. On Tuesday Jake comes clean with Ben and this should be interesting. On Wednesday Claire begs Marlena to get her released early from Bayview. On Thursday, Hope helps Rafe in his fight for custody of Zoey. On Friday Jake tells Ciara and Ben that Gabby has been kidnapped and a drunken Steve reveals the truth to Kayla. Stay tuned for updates regarding the soaps when they become available and keep watching each weekday afternoon.
