The Steve Wilkos Show, Week of January 20, 2025

Daytime TV thrives on drama, and The Steve Wilkos Show rarely disappoints. This week looks to be no different, with a lineup packed with paternity disputes, accusations of infidelity, and struggles with addiction. If your taste runs toward messy relationship entanglements and the occasional lie detector test, well, you’re in luck.

Monday kicks off with Lakeisha’s paternity quest. With three potential fathers in the mix — her ex Cedric, his nephew Romeroe, and her baby daddy Jeremiah — Lakeisha’s search for answers is bound to be a bumpy ride. We’ll also get an update from Amanda, who previously confronted her fiancé and best friend about a suspected secret family. One can only hope for a resolution, but let’s be realistic, this is Wilkos we’re talking about.

Tuesday shifts gears, focusing on Steve Wilkos’ background in assisting victims of sex crimes. While details are scarce, the episode aims to shed light on this important aspect of his career.

Wednesday brings a double dose of relationship woes. First up, Lynchel’s family and friends point fingers at Christopher for alleged infidelity. Then, Shaneida accuses Margo of having an affair with her cousin. It’s a classic Wilkos one-two punch of broken trust and heated accusations.

Thursday sees Derrick confronting Yorel about her supposed alcohol-fueled outbursts, while she counters with accusations of him drugging her. Add in Chelsea’s struggles with her boyfriend Blake’s infidelity and meth addiction, and Thursday looks to be a particularly heavy day.

Finally, Friday wraps up the week with a focus on social media feuds that escalated to the point of requiring Steve’s trusty lie detector. Because in the world of daytime TV, nothing settles a score quite like a polygraph.
