The gathering includes Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Finn (Tanner Novlan) with their children, Kelly and Hayes, and others like Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire).

As Christmas approaches, Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) and her children, Katie and Johnny, pay a visit to Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) and Sally at their home. Sally teaches the kids how to make vintage-style decorations, leading to a heartfelt conversation between Sally and Victoria about their pasts and Billy's recent changes. Y&R spoilers reveal Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), also known as "The Mustache", surprises his wife, Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott), with a lavish gift, a ruby and diamond necklace once owned by Marie Antoinette's mother. In return, Nikki gifts Victor a journal of a well-known German philosopher. This exchange does not change Nikki's stance on Victor's actions against Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman). Spoilers for Young and Restless suggest Jack, meanwhile, shares a romantic Christmas Eve with Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters), exchanging gifts and declarations of love.

Click to Subscribe: https://bit.ly/Youtube-Subscribe-SoapDirt Young and the Restless spoilers suggest Phyllis Summers, portrayed by Michelle Stafford, is gearing up to reclaim the AI from Victor Newman, played by Eric Braeden. However, the plot thickens as Phyllis, known for her treacherous schemes, might ditch the Abbotts to pursue her own interests. Phyllis had earlier struck a deal with Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) to retrieve the AI from Victor on the condition that the Abbotts sign over Marchetti to Summer Newman (Allison Lanier). However, she now seems to have ulterior motives for the AI, planning to use it against Victor to seize control of Newman Enterprises.  Y&R spoilers reveal Phyllis also attempts to ally with Cane Ashby, nicknamed Dumas (Billy Flynn). Although skeptical, Cane is intrigued by the prospect of running Newman Enterprises and is enticed by Phyllis's flattery and proposition. However, a shock awaits him when Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) walks in on Phyllis kissing Cane. This unexpected turn of events could potentially disrupt their alliance, depending on Lily's reaction and Cane's response. Spoilers for Young and Restless suggest Phyllis's vendetta against Victor is no secret, and with this new plan, she might finally get the opportunity to deliver a crushing blow to Victor and Newman Enterprises. Although Billy and Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) are aware of Phyllis's unreliability, the prospect of Victor losing control might just be too satisfying to pass up.  More Young and Restless spoilers indicate the future seems uncertain for Victor Newman as he grapples with Nikki Newman's (Melody Thomas Scott) ultimatum and Phyllis's possible betrayal. Whether he concedes to Nikki's demand or faces the wrath of Phyllis, it's evident that Victor's empire is teetering on the brink of destruction.   You are listening to Belynda from Soap Dirt.

Click to Subscribe: https://bit.ly/Youtube-Subscribe-SoapDirt Bold and the Beautiful spoilers suggest Katie Logan (Heather Tom) stirs up the scene at Forrester Creations. In an unexpected move, Katie departs Forrester Creations to start her own fashion house, potentially pulling some FC employees with her and causing friction with Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye). This storyline might also see the return of the recast RJ Forrester (Joshua Hoffman) to fill some gaps.  B&B spoilers indicate pressure mounts for Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) who's dealing with the emotional aftermath of firing her brother Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone), and the challenge of working with Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) and Zende Forrester Dominguez (Delon de Metz). Fans speculate that Hope could be looking for an escape route, possibly joining Katie's new fashion venture.  Spoilers for Bold and Beautiful hint Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) seems to have forgotten Katie's past CEO role at Forrester Creations, questioning her industry experience. This, coupled with an upset Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) and a worried Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton), adds further tension. Intriguingly, Eric Forrester (John McCook), recently forced into retirement by Ridge, might offer advice to Katie, potentially leading to a more significant role in her new fashion house. Such a move would certainly ruffle feathers at Forrester Creations. Furthermore, Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) may leave FC, possibly joining his mother at her new company.  More spoilers for Bold and Beautiful see peculation is also rife about a potential RJ Forrester recast, with actor Brian Nicoletti spotted at the Bold and Beautiful holiday party alongside John McCook and Thorsten Kaye. However, this remains unconfirmed.  The Soap Dirt podcast has made the Top 100 List for Apple Podcasts in the Entertainment News Category.

Click to Subscribe: https://bit.ly/Youtube-Subscribe-SoapDirt A General Hospital LEAK suggests a thrilling turn of events with expected departures and unexpected funerals. Reliable sources have leaked information about the death of WSB bureau chief Jack Brennan, played by Chris McKenna, which was previously slated for the end of the year but has now been postponed to 2026. The character's death seems imminent as Carly Corinthos, played by Laura Wright, and Valentin Cassadine, played by James Patrick Stuart, have teamed up against him.  The upcoming GH episodes will also address the real-life deaths of actors Denise Alexander and Tristan Rogers. Alexander, who played Leslie Weber, Laura Spencer's mother, passed away in March 2025, and the show is expected to address her character's death by spring 2026. Tristan Rogers, known for his role as Robert Scorpio, passed away in August 2025 after a battle with lung cancer. His character's death will also be addressed in the spring of 2026.  More General Hospital also rumors hint of a possible exit of a female character. However, the details remain unclear and it is uncertain if this means a death, recasting, or simply a departure from the storyline. Fans eagerly await the return of the Nurse's Ball event in May 2026. The show will also pay tribute to Anthony Geary, who played Luke Spencer, by airing a rerun of his last episode on New Year's Day.  This episode was hosted by Belynda Gates-Turner for Soap Dirt.

Peter Blake (Dan Gauthier), Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk), Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn), Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis), EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel), and Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews) are all at the center of the drama. It's revealed that Peter is the kidnapper who has thrown his family into the crypt and he even fakes his own kidnapping. Kristen's fever spikes while she continues to dig for an escape, causing EJ to worry for her. Peter, however, accuses EJ of being the kidnapper, causing tensions to escalate. DOOL spoilers suggest Peter's cruel intentions are then revealed, and the group deduces that Peter is the one who drugged and kidnapped them. When Theo demands Peter to empty his pockets, a brawl ensues, causing Theo to hit his head and fall unconscious. The crypt crew, including a sick Kristen and injured Theo, are then threatened by Peter with a vial of sarin gas, a lethal nerve gas. Spoilers for Days of Our Lives indicate a life or death struggle in the crypt, with Theo and Kristen's health deteriorating, and the rest of the group facing the threat of the nerve gas. By Christmas, the family members are back home, but suffer injuries from their ordeal. Theo ends up in the hospital, potentially with a traumatic brain injury, while Kristen is treated for a severe infection. The episode ends with Kristen confronting Peter at the hospital, hinting at a possible confrontation in the future. Soap Dirt has grown to the most subscribed to YouTube soap opera channel.

Kia ora e te whānau. The path to success is seldom simple. It's often multiple overlays of experience, each building upon the other until the goal is reached, be that setting course records at 200-mile events like the Wild Horse or becoming an expert pastry chef and deli owner. Damian Watson is someone with overlays of experience. Andrew McDowall travelled out to Muriwai Beach on Auckland's rugged West Coast to meet up with Watson at the Deli he co-owns with the Steel brothers for a run and yarn about what it takes to compete at the highest level in 100-mile plus racing, how his past as a New Zealand Ice Hockey representative influenced his running, his love of travel, and just what his mother talked to the ODT about when he set the course record at the Wild Horse.

WhoRyan Brown, Director of Golf & Ski at The Mountaintop at Grand Geneva, WisconsinRecorded onJune 17, 2025About the Mountaintop at Grand GenevaClick here for a mountain stats overviewOwned by: Marcus HotelsLocated in: Lake Geneva, WisconsinYear founded: 1968Pass affiliations: NoneClosest neighboring U.S. ski areas: Alpine Valley (:23), Wilmot Mountain (:29), Crystal Ridge (:48), Alpine Hills Adventure Park (1:04)Base elevation: 847 feetSummit elevation: 962 feetVertical drop: 115 feetSkiable acres: 30Average annual snowfall: 34 inchesTrail count: 21 (41% beginner, 41% intermediate, 18% advanced)Lift count: 6 (3 doubles, 1 ropetow, 2 carpets)Why I interviewed himOf America's various mega-regions, the Midwest is the quietest about its history. It lacks the quaint-town Colonialism and Revolutionary pride of the self-satisfied East, the cowboy wildness and adobe earthiness of the West, the defiant resentment of the Lost Glory South. Our seventh-grade Michigan History class stapled together the state's timeline mostly as a series of French explorers passing through on their way to somewhere more interesting. They were followed by a wave of industrial loggers who mowed the primeval forests into pancakes. Then the factories showed up. And so the state's legacy was framed not as one of political or cultural or military primacy, but of brand, the place that stamped out Chevys and Fords by the tens of millions.To understand the Midwest, then, we must look for what's permanent. The land itself won't do. It's mostly soil, mostly flat. Great for farming, bad for vistas. Dirt doesn't speak to the soul like rock, like mountains. What humans built doesn't tell us a much better story. Everything in the Midwest feels too new to conceal ghosts. The largest cities rose late, were destroyed in turn by fires and freeways, eventually recharged with arenas and glass-walled buildings that fail to echo or honor the past. Nothing lasts: the Detroit Pistons built the Palace of Auburn Hills in 1988 and developers demolished it 32 years later; the Detroit Lions (and, for a time, the Pistons) played at the Pontiac Silverdome, a titanic, 82,600-spectator stadium that opened in 1976 and came down in 2013 (37 years old). History seemed to bypass the region, corralling the major wars to the east and shooing the natural disasters to the west and south. Even shipwrecks lose their doubloons-and-antique-cannons romance in the Midwest: the Great Lakes most famous downed vessel, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, sank into Lake Superior in 1975. Her cargo was 26,535 tons of taconite ore pellets. A sad story, but not exactly the sinking of the Titanic.Our Midwest ancestors did leave us one legacy that no one has yet demolished: names. Place names are perhaps the best cultural relics of the various peoples who occupied this land since the glaciers retreated 12,000-ish years ago. Thousands of Midwest cities, towns, and counties carry Native American names. “Michigan” is derived from the Algonquin “Mishigamaw,” meaning “big lake”; “Minnesota” from the Sioux word meaning “cloudy water.” The legacies of French explorers and missionaries live on in “Detroit” (French for “strait”), “Marquette” (17th century French missionary Jacques Marquette), and “Eau Claire” (“clear water”).But one global immigration funnel dominated what became the modern Midwest: 50 percent of Wisconsin's population descends from German, Nordic, or Scandinavian countries, who arrived in waves from the Colonial era through the early 1900s. The surnames are everywhere: Schmitz and Meyer and Webber and Schultz and Olson and Hanson. But these Old-Worlders came a bit late to name the cities and towns. So they named what they built instead. And they built a lot of ski areas. Ten of Wisconsin's 34 ski areas carry names evocative of Europe's cold regions, Scandinavia and the Alps:I wonder what it must have been like, in 18-something-or-other, to leave a place where the Alps stood high on the horizon, where your family had lived in the same stone house for centuries, and sail for God knows how many weeks or months across an ocean, and slow roll overland by oxen cart or whatever they moved about in back then, and at the end of this great journey find yourself in… Wisconsin? They would have likely been unprepared for the landscape aesthetic. Tourism is a modern invention. “The elite of ancient Egypt spent their fortunes building pyramids and having their corpses mummified, but none of them thought of going shopping in Babylon or taking a skiing holiday in Phoenicia [partly in present-day Lebanon, which is home to as many as seven ski areas],” Yuval Noah Harari writes in Sapiens his 2015 “brief history of humankind.” Imagine old Friedrich, who had never left Bavaria, reconstituting his world in the hillocks and flats of the Midwest.Nothing against Wisconsin, but fast-forward 200 years, when the robots can give us a side-by-side of the upper Midwest and the European Alps, and it's pretty clear why one is a global tourist destination and the other is known mostly as a place that makes a lot of cheese. And well you can imagine why Friedrich might want to summon a little bit of the old country to the texture of his life in the form of a ski area name. That these two worlds - the glorious Alps and humble Wisconsin skiing - overlap, even in a handful of place names, suggests a yearning for a life abandoned, a natural act of pining by a species that was not built to move their life across timezones.This is not a perfect analysis. Most – perhaps none – of these ski areas was founded by actual immigrants, but by their descendants. The Germanic languages spoken by these immigrant waves did not survive assimilation. But these little cultural tokens did. The aura of ancestral place endured when even language fell away. These little ski areas honor that.And by injecting grandiosity into the everyday, they do something else. In coloring some of the world's most compact ski centers with the aura of some of its most iconic, their founders left us a message: these ski areas, humble as they are, matter. They fuse us to the past and they fuse us to the majesty of the up-high, prove to us that skiing is worth doing anywhere that it can be done, ensure that the ability to move like that and to feel the things that movement makes you feel are not exclusive realms fenced into the clouds, somewhere beyond means and imagination.Which brings us to Grand Geneva, a ski area name that evokes the great Swiss gateway city to the Alps. Too bad reality rarely matches up with the easiest narrative. The resort draws its name from the nearby town of Lake Geneva, which a 19th-century surveyor named not after the Swiss city, but after Geneva, New York, a city (that is apparently named after Geneva, Switzerland), on the shores of Seneca Lake, the largest of the state's 11 finger lakes. Regardless, the lofty name was the fifth choice for a ski area originally called “Indian Knob.” That lasted three years, until the ski area shuttered and re-opened as the venerable Playboy Ski Area in 1968. More regrettable names followed – Americana Resort from 1982 to '93, Hotdog Mountain from 1992 to '94 – before going with the most obvious and least-questionable name, though its official moniker, “The Mountaintop at Grand Geneva” is one of the more awkward names in American skiing.None of which explains the principal question of this sector: why I interviewed Mr. Brown. Well, I skied a bunch of Milwaukee bumps on my drive up to Bohemia from Chicago last year, this was one of them, and I thought it was a cute little place. I also wondered how, with its small-even-for-Wisconsin vertical drop and antique lift collection, the place had endured in a state littered with abandoned ski areas. Consider it another entry into my ongoing investigation into why the ski areas that you would not always expect to make it are often the ones that do.What we talked aboutFighting the backyard effect – “our customer base – they don't really know” that the ski areas are making snow; a Chicago-Milwaukee-Madison bullseye; competing against the Vail-owned mountain to the south and the high-speed-laced ski area to the north; a golf resort with a ski area tacked on; “you don't need a big hill to have a great park”; brutal Midwest winters and the escape of skiing; I attempt to talk about golf again and we're probably done with that for a while; Boyne Resorts as a “top golf destination”; why Grand Geneva moved its terrain park; whether the backside park could re-open; “we've got some major snowmaking in the works”; potential lift upgrades; no bars on the lifts; the ever-tradeoff between terrain parks and beginner terrain; the ski area's history as a Playboy Club and how the ski hill survived into the modern era; how the resort moves skiers to the hill with hundreds of rooms and none of them on the trails; thoughts on Indy Pass; and Lake Geneva lake life.What I got wrongWe recorded this conversation prior to Sunburst's joining Indy Pass, so I didn't mention the resort when discussing Wisconsin ski areas on the product.Podcast NotesOn the worst season in the history of the MidwestI just covered this in the article that accompanied the podcast on Treetops, Michigan, but I'll summarize it this way: the 2023-24 ski season almost broke the Midwest. Fortunately, last winter was better, and this year is off to a banging start.On steep terrain beneath lift AI just thought this was a really unexpected and cool angle for such a little hill. On the Playboy ClubFrom SKI magazine, December 1969:It is always interesting when giants merge. Last winter Playboy magazine (5.5 million readers) and the Playboy Club (19 swinging nightclubs from Hawaii to New York to Jamaica, with 100,000 card-carrying members) in effect joined the sport of skiing, which is also a large, but less formal, structure of 3.5 million lift-ticket-carrying members. The resulting conglomerate was the Lake Geneva Playboy Club-Hotel, Playboy's ski resort on the rolling plains of Wisconsin.The Playboy Club people must have borrowed the idea of their costumed Bunny Waitress from the snow bunny of skiing fame, and since Playboy and skiing both manifestly devote themselves to the pleasures of the body, some sort of merger was inevitable. Out of this union, obviously, issued the Ultimate Ski Bunny – one able to ski as well as sport the scanty Bunny costume to lustrous perfection.That's a bit different from how the resort positions its ski facilities today:Enjoy southern Wisconsin's gem - our skiing and snow resort in the countryside of Lake Geneva, with the best ski hills in Wisconsin. The Mountain Top at Grand Geneva Resort & Spa boasts 20 downhill ski runs and terrain designed for all ages, groups and abilities, making us one of the best ski resorts in Wisconsin. Just an hour from Milwaukee and Chicago, our ski resort in Lake Geneva is close enough to home for convenience, but far enough for you and your family to have an adventure.
