Nikki Jack & Katherine win there half a billion dollar lawsuit against Victor Finally he gets some payback for being such an a$$hole

Katherie decides its time to retire after her mini stroke and makes Jill the head of Chancellor Industries. and you aint gonna believe this one makes Nikki the head of Jabot. She offers Amber a job and the idiot rejects the offer I mean how stupid can Amber be. I can hear Victor & Jack now when they hear the news about Jill & & Nikki's promotions KATHERINE HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND LOL




I also read online that a new female is coming into Victors life as a new love interest

Is anyone else tired of seeing soap opera weddings? I mean, we all know they are going to get divorced for one reason or another(infidelity, lying, infidelity, money, infidelity, etc). Yet, the multiply-divorced guests sit there watching the wedding, all teary-eyed and with that "this is so nice" look on their faces.
I really don't know why weddings are so important and held in such high regard in soap opera land.

Oh well, at least this one came up and was over pretty quickly. Usually it takes a couple of months just preparing for the ceremony. It seemed like in this one, Victoria came out of her coma and "boom!" There was the wedding. It kind of surprised me they actually got it over with in one episode.:D

Well Sterling its basically this my friend soap opera's were designed yrs ago for females mostly for moms /housewives who are their main audience and you know most women love that romantic sentimental wedding stuff they eat it up. See guys like ourselves have gotten more into the soaps over the past I say 20 yrs. But soaps were designed for stay at home moms / housewives and in my opinion thats why there are so many weddings on soaps. I have to admit sometimes if its a character I really like or couple I really like I enjoy seeing a big fancy wedding but thats just my opinion hope it helps

How come you never see a baptist or methodist character on Y&R everyone is Catholic except for Brad & his family who are of the Jewish faith

Yeah, I pretty much figured that, teddybare.:lol: My post was basically just a rant as to all the weddings they have. Thanks for the reply, though.

It just seems like whenever they are lacking for a storyline(for some characters), they have a wedding or someone is in the hospital in a coma.;)
Like a cheap tactic they fall back on.

How come you never see a baptist or methodist character on Y&R everyone is Catholic except for Brad & his family who are of the Jewish faith
More importantly, how come they never go to church(you don't really have to answer that one because I think I know;)), except maybe to pop in the hospital chapel for a quick prayer when someone is in the hospital in a coma.;)

How does everyone feel about the Hope situation? I don't really enjoy it. I mean, there's characters who only pop up every once in a while, but it's still nice to see them. I think they could have thought up a better way of bringing Victor, Jr. back without killing off Hope.

I agree totally with you they could have done a different bringing Victor Jr. in storyline without having to kill off hope. They even got the original hope to come back too not that other one that played the role awhile back. if they were gonna kill hope off dont bring in the original hope that everybody loves. kill off the other hope that nobody liked

Rumored to be leaving:

Vail Bloom (Heather) - with possible recast
Tammy Lauren (Maggie)


Rumored to be returning:

Lauralee Bell (Christine)
Michael Damian (Danny)

Victoria Rowell (Dru) has also said that she is open to returning.

Well I say Im glad to see Heather leave But i hope they dont recast Maggie I like her I've wathed Tammy Lauren on tv ever since she was a kid.

As for Dru coming back I dont like the idea Victoria Rowell left so high & mighty and she had all these better than y&r acting offers and now since her career away from y&r didnt work out she suddenly would like to return. If

I was y&r I wouldnt bring her back because for one thing how in the hell could you bring her back in the storyline with Neil & Karen. I mean his dead wife suddenly appears alive what would you say would be her explanation. and Then is Neil just supposed to dump Karen who he loves very much & she loves him too.

I wouldnt mind seeing Cricket & Danny come back they havent been on the show in a long time and Daniel definitely needs his dad now with all the stuff going on with him and Amber

Victoria Rowell never claimed she had acting offers, but she did leave with an attitude. I think it had to do with the fact that she was not nominated for an Emmy. A lot of fans have been writing in recently wanting her back, so she said she is open to it. They purposely never found Dru's body, because they wanted to leave it open for a possible return, and at the time they were thinking of a recast.

Well I stand corrected on the offers and granted she was good in the role but I like Neil and Karen together I think they are a really great couple on the show. But as I stated earlier How are they gonna have her come back that makes any sense. I mean is she gonna rise from the dead the way Hunter Tylo did as Taylor on Bold & the Beautiful

As far as leaving for not getting nominatedfor a daytime emmy I think thats being very petty/prima donna

She also left to go promote her book, which she did for several months. Since that's over, maybe that's another reason why she wants to come back. I also really like Neil and Karen together, and I don't want to see them split up, either. I think Nia Peeples was an excellent addition to the cast, and I'd like to see her stick around for a while.

I like Nia Peeples too didnt she used to do movies and wasnt she a singer too. Kristoff St.John aka Neil Winters he likes the latina ladies in real life too he was married for several yrs to the sexy lady boxer who posed for playboy not sure what her maiden name but she went by Mia St.John

I hope they get someone a little more mature to play Heather. I never did buy a girl who looked like she was straight out of high school as assistant D.A.

It will be good to see Cricket and Danny again.

I agree. Actually she came straight out of Maxim. :lol:

I sure hope that spy camera jack & sharon put in the house will catch those 2 Jeff and his bitch wife Gloria so jack can throw them out on there ass

Actually she came straight out of Maxim. :lol:
I wouldn't know about that. I've only seen her with a lot of clothes on. I must have missed that episode.;)

About today's episode:

Is there only one restaurant in Genoa City? Surely Victor could have just taken that chick somewhere else to eat, after he saw Nick, Nikki, Victoria, etc. there.

Ah, I see, said the blind man.


Though I think that would look better with another head attached to it. I never thought that those Cocoa Puffs on people's lips were very sexy.:D

It's great to see Danny Romalotti SR back.And I'm glad he and his son have managed to settle their differences.:)

I'm sure I'm not the only one here who is getting so annoyed with Chloe.:mad: Can she be any more critical?I don't know how Lily can stand it.There's no way I would tolerate a person like that.Forgive me for my choice of words,but,Chloe really needs to get her head out of her ass.

Right now this is still in the rumor stages, but apparently Y&R is trying to get Adrianne Leon back as Colleen. I SO hope this happens. She was so wrongly let go, and was by far the best Colleen, in my opinion. I have tried, but I have not been able to enjoy Tammin Sursok in the role at all. I think she was a terrible recast, especially every now and then when her Australian accent slips out.

I sure hope its true she was by far the ultimate Colleen. She was pretty & a good actress and I dont mind saying I had a crush on her. As far as the imaginary weight problem which to this day never thouht she had Jill is alot heavier looking than Colleen.Who wants a show with a bunch of bean pole thin actresses who cant act anyway

I hate to say it, but I haven't watched Y&R since well before Christmas, and I've been a faithful viewer of the show for more than fifteen years, since I was a kid. The show isn't what it used to be with repetitive storylines and wasted characters, and I don't miss watching it all all... :(

I know, I thought Adrianne looked awesome, and there was absolutely NO weight issue. She did gain some weight, but apparently it was at the request of Y&R to make her appear more like a normal person. Then they ditch her! Like many fans, I was very displeased with the changes Lynn Marie Lathan brought to the show, and I was VERY pleased to learn she was fired. I look forward to the new writing under Maria Arena Bell and Josh Griffith, and have high hopes for some future changes!

In some ways I agree and some ways I disagree I totally disagree with the way they suddenly get rid of characters like Jerry Douglas who played John abbott then bring him back as a Ghost that only Jack can see & worries him to death and now have Jerry Douglas playing the scotish actor allistair as John Abbott.

But there have been good additions also I think Nia Peeples who plays Karen as Neils new Girlfriend is a good addition and so are the french actress who plays Victoria's friend sorry forgot her name and the guy who plays Victors son Adam is another good addition

I so look forward to the new days ahead for Y&R! With a new writing team, I think things will start looking up. A couple Y&R actors spoke anonymously in the past about their displeasure for Lynn Marie Latham, and the direction she was taking the show in, but now here Eric Braeden comes forward:


Braeden Says He Nearly Left Y&R During Latham's Reign
by Elizabeth Albanese and Dan J Kroll


Fans who were unhappy with Y&R's direction in 2007 are not alone. Emmy winner Eric Braeden (Victor Newman) admits to nearly walking away from the show. The actor says he was unhappy with what was done to his character and other veteran performers.


By now, most fan of The Young and the Restless have heard gossip and third-and-forth-hand tales of how chaotic and tense things were behind the scenes last year. Now, one of the show's biggest names is stepping forward to confirm that things were bad… really bad.


Eric Braeden
In a stunning admission, Eric Braeden (Victor Newman) revealed in a recent interview that he almost quit the top-rated CBS soap last year. According to the actor, the reason for his almost-departure was because he was not only disgusted with the direction his character's storyline, but he was also unhappy with the storylines of the other veteran characters. Braeden sat down with then-executive producer Lynn Marie Latham to discuss the problems, but was frustrated and baffled by what he viewed as the lack of reciprocal concern.


To put the timeline into better perspective, the meeting came just after Latham had hired a brand new team of writers, some of whom had no previous experience with writing soap operas. It was under this regime's reign that Braeden said he felt that Victor Newman had become a weak and diminished character, forced to sit on the sidelines while an array of "new, younger characters" took over.


"I will always rail against this chasing of the mythical, young demographic, (that) leads to the dumbing down of television," Braeden told the National Ledger. "It's the bane of a lot of writers, directors and actors in this town."


Braeden inched closer and closer to walking out, but soon saw a brief glimmer of hope and realized that if he hung in there a little while longer, his problem might be taken care of. As 2007 wound down, there were reports that Latham would be ousted from the show. The combined effects of increasing pressure on Latham and the failure of her pivotal November Sweeps story weakened her position with the show. Her decision to leave her cell phone behind and go on vacation during the strike by the Writers Guild of America instead of fulfilling her contract as executive producer marked the end of her tenure with the show. Latham was replaced in February 2008.


The show recently elevated Maria Arena Bell, daughter-in-law of Y&R co-creators Lee Phillip Bell and her late husband William, to the head writer position. Braeden couldn't be happier.


"This is the happiest I've been on the show in a long time," he gushed. "The emphasis is again where it belongs, with the established characters on the show."


This week, The Young and the Restless marks its 35th year on the air. Eric Braeden has played Victor Newman for 28 of those years. Last year, the Emmy-winning actor received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Wow, you know it's bad when even the actor's think it is bad!:lol:

Well, maybe there's hope for the show yet... at least there is a glimmer on the horizon that things will get back to the way they used to be, when Y&R was the best soap on television...

I long for the day when someone gives Cloe a verbal shot of her own medicine.
:mad: :mad: :mad: She just makes me wanna scream!

She is quite annoying, isn't she?!
And I haven't even been watching the show that often, but the little snippets I see of her in it, she is just irritating.

I am once again annoyed at the Emmy nominations this year. Even though Y&R got the most nods, they excluded some deserving candidates. This was definitely the year of Nikki, and somehow Melody Thomas Scott doesn't get one?! I'm also shocked that Judith Chapman (Gloria) did not receive one. Not to mention Vail Bloom (Heather) and Tammin Sursok (Colleen) getting nods over Christel Khalil (Lily)?!

Melody Thomas-Scott gets over-looked all the time. She definitely should have been nominated for her wonderful work over the past year...

Maybe they are trying to get another "leading-lady-with-no-Emmys" run going with Melody like they had with Susan Lucci.;)

David Chow asks Nikki for a divorce

Hmmm. Maybe he has a conscience, because he knows he is still a problem gambler and is sick of lying to her, perhaps?!
If that is the reason, that could only help him, because it would show her that he really does love her.

I doubt if its his conscience he just wants to take Nikki's money

So, Nikki's going to have another mental breakdown over her role in Sabrina's death and Victor is on the war path, yet again? (I don't have to watch the show anymore to know what's going on!) :lol:

Does any know if kb/ Kimberlin Brown will return to Y&R? Last time we saw her was jan, 2006.

Does any know if kb/ Kimberlin Brown will return to Y&R? Last time we saw her was jan, 2006.

Well I dont think there is anyway possible to bring the Sheila Carter Character back she was definitely dead the last time and Kimberlin didnt come back to play her either. But never say never in soap world they brought Taylor back from the grave on B&B,

Who the hell does this little twerp think he is taking over NE. Firing Neil and doing whatever the hell he pleases and Victor is not dead we know that.

I wish Neil would have knocked the hell outta him when he started bossing him around. Im so glad Karen quit too.

Boy I would hate to be in Adam's shoes when Victor gets back he will throw him out so fast it will make his head spin. Hopefully Adam will lose it all the creepy little worm.

Hard to believe, but Christian LeBlanc (Michael) turned 50 the other day! He looks great for his age.

You mean nobody is really mad about the little worm Adam getting everything in the will? What about Nikki finding Victor I knew once she stayed by herself in Mexico she would find Victor or Victor find her. They wont be in love right off but I would say IMO they will get fall in love & married again not sure when but it will happen.

Hard to believe, but Christian LeBlanc (Michael) turned 50 the other day! He looks great for his age.


He does look great for 50 from what I uderstand he is big into staying in shape works out regularly

Hard to believe, but Christian LeBlanc (Michael) turned 50 the other day! He looks great for his age.

Fifty!!! I didn't know that. He does look great! :eek:

September 4th 2008 will be a great day in Y&R history the little backstabbing weasel Adam. Get's caught with his girlfriend on the couch by Victor Newman. He Gets not just fired he will get the angry Victor Newman YOUR FIRED!!!! and thrown off the ranch

Hard to believe, but Christian LeBlanc (Michael) turned 50 the other day! He looks great for his age.
No Way!!!:eek:

Yeah, he definitely doesn't look 50. Criminy! I didn't even think he looked 40.:lol:

You mean nobody is really mad about the little worm Adam getting everything in the will?
Well, you can add me to the list of people who don't like Adam. While Victor was missing, Nick, Victoria and Nikki were worried about finding him, while all Adam was worried about was being in power. Slimebucket.

But that's just water under the bridge now since Victor rightly fired him and kicked him out.:clap

Jill: Well, working on your resume?
Brad: I recognize that charming voice anywhere. Good morning, Jill.
Jill: By the way, be sure to include your recent tenure at Newman Enterprises. What was it, all of five minutes? Quite an achievement.

:rofl:

Can't believe nobody has any comments on Victor Newman turning into a crazy billionaire like Howard Hughes. I hate they way they have his character now this whole Victor/Howard Hughes storyline sucks.

Another thing like him or hate him Jack was right about restless style magazie spicy tell all stories sell. The only one that doesnt see it is Nick. If he doesnt stop trying to do the artsy fartsy type magazine restless style will go under. I would hate to be in Sharon's shoes when Jack finds out she is the reason he lost the magazine

But that's just water under the bridge now since Victor rightly fired him and kicked him out.:clap

Im no fan of Adam either but with Jack Adam and possibly Brad Carlton going in together to get revenge against Victor is headed for something really bad in his life

Finally thay slimey snake got what he deserved arrested for all his evilness. Just seeing him led away in handcuffs after he was planning to leave the country to get away from the feds made my day.

Dont do the crime if you cant do the time Bradley hope they keep him there for a long time :clap:

Ex-cast member Tricia Cast (Nina) has been spotted in a couple recent photos with the cast. Rumor has it that she will be returning for

"Katherine's" funeral.

If it's true, and even if she's just back briefly, it will be great to see her again! She is one of the characters who I wish would return full time.

Where did you hear they were going to kill off Katherine Chancellor? I mean right now she's in a major storyline with her twin marge back and the memory loses etc.,

I just cant see Jeanne Cooper leaving the show now but she recently turned 80 may want to retire been on show since day 1

I don't know how it will play out exactly, but I said "Katherine," because it will most likely be Marge. Jeanne Cooper actually just turned 80 the other day.

That makes since Marge has just about drank herself to death by now. Jeanne looks like she's in good health and loves acting at 80 God Bless Her I love all the older classy ladies in daytime Like Jeanne & Susan Flannery/Stephanie Forrester B&B both are strong smart women andc even devious when they have to be LOL

Well, I started watching the show again! :) I love it when soaps mine their histories and bring back a great storyline from the past, and it would appear the Marge/Kay story is going to be a great one. I would love to see Tricia Cast (Nina) on the show again, even if it is just temporary. Plus, the show went on location to Paris... remember when soaps did on-location shoots at exotic locations all the time? I guess tight budgets ended those days (along with hiring quality writers, for the most part...) Looking forward to seeing the European adventure starting next week, even if it is to search for old Victor! :lol:

The role of Eden is being recast. I can't say this is very disappointing news. I never really enjoyed the performances of the current actress playing her. Her acting is so over the top when she's mad.

Wow... the show has been sparkling the past week, so I'm back to watching my fave soap ever full-time again after almost a year away. Ashley and Victor reunited in Paris, Nick and Sharon (with Phyllis seeing them... wonder if this means crazy Phyllis will be returning, too!) and of course, Katherine's "death" scene, with lots of emotion from Nikki and Jill. Kudos to the writers for bringing Y&R back to the top once again! :clap:

I have always watched Y & R and now my husband is even hooked! I have always wanted Nick and Sharon to get back together and this week has really made my day. Of course my hubby likes Victor especially when he tells it like it is! Anyway, I really would like to see Nick & Sharon reunite. I like Phyllis but just not with Nick! She is practically old enough to be his mother (or should be any way).

I so loved seeing all of the former cast members today! It was one big reunion. I especially enjoyed seeing Tricia Cast, and I REALLY wish they would bring back Nina. She looked great. It's a shame they couldn't have gotten Lauralee Bell, it would have been awesome to see a Nina/Cricket reunion.

I agree... what a treat to see Nina and Danny again. I really do miss Nina and I wish she would make a return to the show. It was also good to see Brock return to mourn his "Duchess", even though MacKenzie couldn't be there... only bad spot was Ol' Vic returning to hog up the spotlight of Katherine's "death", just like the inconsiderate, pompous jack@$$ he is... :lol:

Nikki: Jill, I hope you don't mind that Katherine gave me her jewelry.
Jill: Nikki, your life's in such a mess. How could I?

:lol:

You gotta love when the bitchy side of Jill really shines.

Don Diamont (Brad) has been let go. I do enjoy Don's acting, and he's been part of the show for so long now, but his character has been unlikeable and wasted for so long now.

I hadn't heard that Don Diamont has been let go... hard to believe, as he's been on the show for over twenty years now... :eek:

This is just a rumor for now, but seems kinda likely going by how recent articles are being written about it:

Brad will allegedly end up dead, which will bring on a murder mystery.

I also hear Brad may be killed off.

I have a question about yesterday's show,where Kevin visited Jeffrey in the hospital.I was away from the TV at the moment,when I heard Jeffrey yell in pain,and Kevin say"You think that hurts?".Exactly what was it that made Jeffrey yell like that?:confused:

Thank you HuntingtonM15.

What is with Amber?:confused:
She has this idea about Kevin that just won't quit.I think her thinking is way off,and she's gone too far by saying Kevin killed Katherine.On the contrary,so far Kevin and Gloria are the only two people who believe that Katherine is who she claims to be.

For some reason Kevin and Amber have always had this sense of hostillity toward eachother.

How many agree that,inspite of Kevin's past,Amber's thinking is downright crazy?

Amber is a crazy nut job dont you know who her mama was Sheila Carter who tried to kill her yrs ago when Amber was on Bold & the Beautiful. Wonder how she reacts when she sees Kay alive and well. I think Lauren & Michael will believe she is Kay Chancellor too.

Why in the world did they grow Abby from like 7 or 8 to 15 or 16 in high school and make her like Eden said a blonde air head and I might add a little preppie stuck on herself bitch

The role of Eden is being recast.
Thank you to whoever did that.
She was downright irritating. Although I think some of that is her character. But if that is the case why did they have to make the character so annoying?!

I dont agree I liked both Edens I thought both were good young actresses. Why doesnt Y&R just stick with one and let her gow into the character

How about that good for nothing scoundrel Lowell Baldwin now impersonating a priest to get money out of ppl. Looks like somebody wants the hell express

I've currently missed one episode.It appears that Clint is now the only one holding Kevin hostage.What happened to Clint's two companions?:confused:

Your talking about Annie the redgead nurse played by comedian Marcia Wallace who was Bob Newharts receptionist on his 70's sitcom. and Roger Wilkes the bigomist conman played by comnedian David Leisure who was on the 80's sitcom Empty Nest. & did those funny Joe Isuzu car ads. Well I think they just left they didnt want anything else to do with Clint.

Victor is gonna get Adan out of prison when he finds out Adam is going blind.
How much longer is it gonna take for Katherine to get her full memory back and convince Jill Nikki and everyone else shes alive.

Gina need a good ass kicking for saying what she said about poor Kevin who has done nothing wrong

^I know... it makes me angry the way Kevin in being victimized and made to look like he's guilty, when all he's guilty of doing is trying to save Kay's life and bring her back to her life & family...

Yesterday Kay convinced Nikki who she is.

^I know... it makes me angry the way Kevin in being victimized and made to look like he's guilty, when all he's guilty of doing is trying to save Kay's life and bring her back to her life & family...


Well after Fridays episode when Kay won Nikki back she will start winning everybody back. Even Jill couldnt say Marge would have known about Victor putting make up on Nikki in the hospital

Gina need a good ass kicking for saying what she said about poor Kevin who has done nothing wrong

I feel bad for Kevin, but I can't really blame her. He did burn her restaurant to the ground. That can't be easy to get over.

Speaking of that, does anyone else miss Gina's? The Athletic Club just isn't the same.

IMO Gina Roma is the most boring useless character on the show. She has may be 20 lines of dialogue a year on Y&R. Why they keep her around beats me. Even Traci & Olivia who dont even live in Genoa City have more lines when there on the show. I dont like Gloria but she more interesting than Gina

Most likely because she's a familiar face, a staple to the restaurant scene on the show, and I can't imagine Patty Weaver as an actress is all that expensive to keep around. Since she is such a side character, I don't really have an issue with her being on the show. It's not like she's a burden.

But why kill off Brad Carlton a major character and keep her who's hardly ever seen on the show. I bet ppl who havent been watching Y&R very long may not know anything about her or even who she is.

I see David Chow is tearing it up again on ABC Soap AMC Or OLTL not sure which one it is

That's exactly the reason. She isn't costly to pay, and he was. There was talk that it was between him and Doug Davidson (Paul), and in the end they decided to keep Doug over him.

I think they probably kept Doug Davidson because he's been on the show longer.

AMC


It you want to see his best work, you should have seen him when he was on GL, first as Lujack then as his long lost twin brother Nick. It was one of the few times, the long lost twin storyline worked.

Shocking news.

Friday news came out that Y&R called for an immediate casting call for the role of Jill. No one knew what this meant, but apparently the latest rumor is that Jess Walton walked off the set after being asked to take a pay cut. I hope this isn't true, and if it is, I hope they work something out! I can't imagine them re-casting Jill.

That is shocking especially for Jess Walton from all I have ever heard of her in public life she is a very nice sweet person. I sure hope we dont get a new Jill and I think its stupid now after the yrs of her being Kay lost daughter she suddenly isnt then who is her real birth mom

Oh, no... shocking news, indeed. Jess Walton is Jill as far as I'm concerned and any recasts won't live up to her standard. Her amazing chemistry with Jeanne Cooper and Daniel Goddard is so powerful, and her relationship with the character of Kay is one of the driving forces behind the entire show! It's a shame that the bad economy and eroding ratings are taking such a savage toll on the soaps... :(

It's especially upsetting since Jill was bought to the forefront again over the past year. I'd prefer them to write Jill out than to re-cast her.

Sad to say, but I agree with you. I would rather that Jess Walton come back and finish out the character than for it to be recast as well...

GREAT NEWS!

Soapoperadigest.com is now reporting that Jess Walton re-signed and will continue playing Jill.

Other news that came out yesterday is that Tricia Cast (Nina) is supposed to be moving back to Genoa City on a more permanent basis! I've been waiting for her return to the show for years.

Glad to hear Tricia Cast will be returning as Nina.Why is Y&R being so tight on money Its the #1 soap it should make big money

It should be interesting to see how Nina would fit with the Katherine and Jill story.

I'm delighted to hear that Jess has re-signed! It's also great to hear the character of Nina might be brought back to the canvas as well! :clap:

I haven't watched Y&R in awhile until today. I see Sharon is still being a slut LOL. I can't believe she's had sex with Billy a couple of times. Now it seems like Nick can't stay away from her. Phyllis might as well kiss her marriage goodbye LOL. What's been happening between Neil and the black girl Eva Pigford? I forgot her character's name. I saw her kiss Neil once when Karen walked in on them but Karen didn't say anything. Then i heard that Karen and Eva had some words and i missed seeing that. What happened on that episode when Karen and Eva were arguing? Did Eva get caught by the police for kidnapping that black girl who's supposed to be Neil's adopted son's sister? Do ya'll think Neil is gonna break up with Karen to be with Eva? I'd rather see Neil with Eva. Eva is hot.

Well, Nia Peeples was recently let go from the show, so it will only be a matter of time before Karen is on her way out. It's too bad, I really enjoy Karen, and cannot stand Tyra (Eva). Stupid move on the show's part. The majority of the fans dislike Tyra as well. In soapcentral.com's annual Dankie awards, Tyra was named least favorite character with 51% of the votes.

Loved the wedding cake throwing between Jill & Kay today! I guess it's back to those two being at each other's throats all the time yet again. History certainly does repeat itself. It was equally funny to see Nicki with cake on her face as well!!! :lol:

Sharon (to security): She burst in here, I didn't invite her, she started going through my things--
Phyllis: That's not true. I didn't burst in here, but I'll tell you what is true. She's a thief. So you might want to talk to room service, and have them, I don't know, count their silverware before the end of the day, because she'll rob you blind.

:rofl:

Phyllis and Sharon fights are always a riot. They are just as good as the Phyllis and Dru fights that used to happen. And Phyllis always gets the best lines during them. I love when Michelle Stafford brings out her comedic side.

I tell ya one thing Phyllis is bigger and much meaner than Sharon she better not get into a fight with her Phyllis would mess her up big time

Was that the real Mac that popped into the wedding didnt hardly recognize her with the short red hair and she has filled out more. Whoever is playing Mac sorry Chloe is way prettier and sexier than u

That's Cybill Shephard's daughter Clementine playing the "new" Mac. I've only seen her in a few scenes, so no thoughts yet on how she'll do, but now that it's been revealed that Jill & Kay aren't related, that means Billy and Mac aren't related either, so I have a feeling they might renew their relationship, in spite of Billy's "marriage" to Chloe...

Why was Nia Peebles let go from the show? She's a good actress. I liked her on Walker Texas Ranger tv show. Well i guess Tyra and Neil can get together now. Who's gonna get custody of that black girl that Tyra was taking care of? Yeah Sharon shouldn't try to fight Phyllis because Phyllis will kick her ass LOL. I was laughing yesterday when Phyllis got in Nick's face and she told him to get a grip because he's the one that had sex with Sharon LOL. On the previews for what's gonna happen Monday, they showed Nick standing outside of Sharon's hotel room and Phyllis caught him. Phyllis said i can't believe you're leaving from her hotel room again LOL.

David Lago will be briefly reprising his role as Raul late this month or next month. It will be good to see another familiar face. I'd love it if they also brought back Lauren Woodland as Brittany, and get that gang going again. The teen years on Y&R were the best with the "Glow by Jabot kids." Not to mention JT has been such a boring character since marrying Victoria.

Nia Peeples sounds off on her time at Y&R

Ousted Y&R actress Nia Peeples has given an explosive interview, in which she blasts her co-stars as unprepared and lashes out at show executives who don't seem to care if their stories are flawed. The actress also contacted soapcentral.com to share a heartfelt message to her fans and fans of the show.


Nia Peeples (Karen Taylor) has broken her silence about her recent firing from The Young and the Restless. The actress has leveled some pretty serious allegations against show brass. The actress also braved the waters of Internet message boards to see what fans thought of her work on the show. She was surprised by the response, and took time out to post a message to soapcentral.com readers.


In a chat on Brandon's Buzz, a program on the Internet radio station, BlogTalkRadio, Peeples revealed that she almost skipped her audition for The Young and the Restless. Her agent had contacted her to go in and read for the part of a "23-year-old Black woman." Peeples says she laughed, and replied that she was neither 23 nor African-American. More than that, Peeples says that she "never really cared for soap operas."


This is not the first time that Peeples was let go by The Young and the Restless. Last year, the show attempted to cut her loose, but upon reviewing her contract, the actress learned that she could not be fired. According to Peeples, the show can release any actor from their contract after 26 weeks. However, the show must notify the performer six weeks prior to the end of that contract cycle. Because she had already started work on her next 26-week cycle, Peeples couldn't be let go.


Subsequently, the show was forced to weave Peeples' character into storyline in order to have a purpose for Karen. When the actress' next contract cycle ended, she was shown the door.


During her time at The Young and the Restless, Peeples states that she had to deal with a lot of issues that made her somewhat uncomfortable. The first, she claims, was a "lack of communication between the creative powers that be and the show's talent." Peeples states that she had asked head writer Maria Arena Bell for help in understanding more about Karen's drive and thought process to make her portrayal more believable. Surprisingly, according to Peeples, Bell never returned her phone calls. Peeples adds that you "can't ask questions" in daytime because of the sheer volume of material that is being produced by the writers. If you start asking questions, she asserts, you can find holes in story -- and show executives don't want to think about that.


Next on Peeples' list of difficulties was the apparent unpreparedness of her co-stars.


"Kristoff [St. John (Neil Winters)] is good on his feet. He comes in and he's not prepared a lot," Peeples reveals. "He won't remember dialogue and he'll mess that up sometimes, but I push him to listen to me and he can respond appropriately."


Though she never mentioned her name, Peeples also fires off at Eva Marcille (Tyra Hamilton) for "not listening" to her.


"I had a scene with... someone... and it was dramatic," Peeples recounts. "I had already come to a place where I was livid and was ready to rip her heart out. Had there not been a table between us, she probably would have been taken down to the floor. [Marcille] didnt have very much to say, but she wasn't receiving what I was saying or what I was feeling. So the director actually stopped it and the producer chimed in over the intercom and said, 'You gotta get in the scene. You're acting like nothing is going on.'"


Peeples goes on to say that she didn't have great story during her time on The Young and the Restless, and hints that she can count her memorable material on one hand.


"I've only had about a handful of really good scenes," Peeples said in reviewing her 18 months on The Young and the Restless.


As for her farewell, Peeples says that she wasn't told when she'd be taping her final scenes. Peeples states that she had been told that she'd be dropped to recurring, with the possibility of more appearances in the future. When she arrived to tape those scenes, Peeples says that she found out in the script that her character was leaving Genoa City for good.


Now that the actress has left daytime, she says that she recently gathered up the nerve to see what fans thought about her work on the soapcentral.com message boards.


"I just wanted to take the time to thank all you Y&R fans for sending your messages of appreciation and best wishes as well as for your dedication and insight," Peeples says in a post on soapcentral.com's Y&R message board. "I don’t usually read message boards and blogs and such as they can be pretty tough to get through on a personal level. Having been in the public eye for over 25 years you’d think one would get used to the overly passionate expressions of both dislike and admiration. But honestly no one’s skin is that tough. We all crack once in a while. But [my webmaster] encouraged me to have a look. So when my last episode aired I gathered up my nerve and had a peek. After preparing myself for the worst, I had a good long read and I must say I was overwhelmed by the response."


"You, the Y&R fans, should be given a ton of credit. Rather than merely stating your likes and dislikes of the characters and storyline, you all are so devoted that you actually distinguish between executive producers, writers, and show runners," the actress continues. "You recognize the difference between an actor’s performance and the material he or she has been given. You know the storylines and history better then we do and YOU CARE. That takes intelligence and absolute devotion. Hats off to you the fans. Y&R, or any soap for that matter is nothing without you. Never again will I feel frustration over having not been given a driving storyline. And I am so glad I chose to squeeze as much as I could out of each and every moment that I was given. It was my absolute pleasure to give everything I had in the portrayal of Karen. You are worth the effort."


Peeples last aired on April 20.

Wow


I kinda liked Karen with Neil myself.

Wow, that is a shocking interview with Nia. We'll probably here more & more of these type stories, as the soaps are forced to continue cutting expenses as their ratings points erode.

Phyllis and Sharon fights are always a riot. They are just as good as the Phyllis and Dru fights that used to happen. And Phyllis always gets the best lines during them. I love when Michelle Stafford brings out her comedic side.

I know, I miss those Phyllis/Dru fights, but Sharon always managed to be dragged into the middle of those fights, too, so they are just carrying on with the tradition. Michelle Stafford is quite simply the most amazing actress, and there isn't anything she can't carry off.

When will ppl especially Jill at her age after all Victor has done to ppl learn not to get involved with him. Jack told her so yet she went ahead and now is broke. Im not sorry for her she made her bed now she has to lay in it. Maybe she can go back to working at a beauty parlor.

I hope that no good Adam goes back to Jail and loses Heather after all this fake blindness crap to go as far as to inject your eyes to appear blind thats sick

From what I saw today it looks like Adam is the one who is behind what is going on with Ashley.

That Adam sure is a piece of #$%@! He really is looking for trouble trying to take down Victor... again! :eek:

Pretty shocking end to yesterday's show! :eek:

So, Cane is a fraud? And was that the real Philip he was talking to on the phone (Thom Bierdz, the original Philip)? Wow, didn't see that one coming!!! :eek:

When Cane first came on Y&R I thought he was a bad dude something just wasnt right and I was right. I thought Ninas husband Philip died in a car wreck when he was drunk many yurs ago. I heard that Ninas son Philip is gonna return and play the role as Rafe the gay lawyers boyfriend. Why does Adam hate Ashley soo much to do all these awful things to her. But when Victor catches him he will kill Adam.

Whoa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Philip Chancellor is alive, and Cane is a fake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


If I had known that went down, I would have watched it. I cant wait to read the recap.

Thom Bierdz has apparently signed a one-year contract with the show.

Both Lily & Ashley dont deserve this kinda treatment and i hope both go to prison for this crap.

Chris Engen quits Y&R in reported gay story protest

The Young and the Restless is dealing with the sudden departure of yet another of its stars. In the latest surprise exit, Chris Engen has allegedly walked out in protest over an upcoming same-sex storyline. The actor joined the cast of Y&R just over a year ago.


The cast and crew of The Young and the Restless is reeling over the walkout of yet another of its stars. Chris Engen (Adam Wilson) made the sudden decision to quit the show in protest over an upcoming storyline… a storyline that involves a same-sex kiss.


Engen is said to have picked up the latest show script and learned through reviewing his lines that his character was going to be getting intimate with attorney Rafe Torres (Yani Gellman). Months of frustration over the direction of his storyline and lack of airtime exploded in a confrontation between Engen and the show's production team. According to sources, Engen has long felt that the writing for Adam was going in the wrong direction.


Setside sources told TVGuide Canada, "Chris hasn't been happy for a while. He doesn't like the dark direction his character is taking. He's called in sick a lot recently and has been taking a slew of meetings with Y&R's [executives] to discuss his future on the show."


Although Engen is well-known for keeping his personal life separate from his career, some are wondering if his personal beliefs may conflict with his character's storyline. The 29-year-old Engen is a graduate of Bishop Montgomery High School, a Catholic school in his hometown of Torrance, California. The school's mission statement reads, in part, "We serve the needs of the Church and the larger community by providing intellectually mature persons who have learned to integrate world knowledge with Catholic beliefs and values."


"Chris is still under contract," sources continue, and the show is mulling the pros and cons of taking legal action against the actor.


Engen made his first on-screen appearance on February 12. Meanwhile, TVGuide.com reports that Michael Muhney, of Veronica Mars fame, will take over the role of Adam Wilson. Muhney's first air date is Thursday, June 25.

^Well, that's just great... just when the Adam gaslighting Ashley storyline was starting to get interesting. Why would the writers have decided to give Adam a same sex storyline, I wonder?

That seems odd. Adam seems to be straight, he wouldnt turn homosexual overnight.

What a great ending today! First the whole thing with Raul & Mac, and then Phyllis overhearing Sharon & Nick. This is what Friday endings are supposed to be like! I love how so much of the old cast is returning. Rumor has it that Lauralee Bell (Christine) will be the next to return. I wish they would get back Lauren Woodland as Brittany.

I hope Lauralee comes back and I would also like to see Brittany back. I have to give Chris Rngen my support for standing up for his beliefs agaibnst homosexuality on Y&R I think they have made Adam too evil and dark doing all these terrible things trying to drive Ashley Insane to loses her baby I dont think Adam would do that. I sure hope Y&R decides to drop the same sex storyline I think the show definitely doesnt need it and it will turn off the majority of its fans imo.

I think it will be interesting to see how the gay storyline plays out. I mean it is 2009, I can't see a ton of people being offended by it, especially in the Soap world. I'm pretty sure that the character of Adam is NOT going to be gay. I actually enjoy the dark side of Adam. I found him to be quite boring before this current storyline.

A little dark is ok but there making Adam into this totally uncaring monster to the point of trying to make ashley have a mental breakdown and lose her baby. I applaud him for taking a stand for what he believes

I agree that Chris Engen is definitely allowed to have a say in the matter, and has the right to say when he's not comfortable with something. I just think he could have handled it a bit better than quitting, especially since he is under contract and there could be legal repercussions.

Contract talks break down, Y&R writes out Nikki
Posted Friday, June 05, 2009 5:33:03 PM
by Dan J Kroll


Have The Young and the Restless viewers seen the last of Melody Thomas Scott? Is the show planning to bring in a new actress to play the role of Nikki Newman? These are just two of the unanswered questions surrounding the announcement that contract talks between Scott and the show have hit a roadblock.


The Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki Newman) era at The Young and the Restless has officially ended... at least for now. Several sources tell soapcentral.com that Scott's alter ego has officially been written out of the show because contract talks between the actress and show executives have hit an impasse.


As reported last month, Scott, like most daytime stars in this current economic climate, was told that she'd have to take a reduced salary in her new contract. Scott refused. Show execs countered with an offer to have Scott appear on a recurring basis. The move, it would seem, would allow for both sides to benefit, while at the same time making mutual sacrifices. Scott also balked at being taken off contract.


Now, both sides have reached a stalemate. To complicate matters, the show's writing team is now crafting storylines that will be filmed after the expiration of Scott's current contract. Since it is not yet known if Scott and show brass will reach a deal, Nikki has been written out of the show.


The show could easily have put out a casting call to find a new actress to take over the role. That's the scenario that played out in early May when Scott's co-star, Jess Walton (Jill Abbott), initially refused to take a slashed paycheck. Walton, however, backed down from her demands and signed a new contract with the show. It is widely believed that Y&R execs do not want to recast Nikki and are hoping that Scott will return to the bargaining table and, eventually, sign her name to a new contract.


"I’m not sure if Mel and [husband and former Y&R executive producer] Ed [Scott] can afford not to be working right now,” a close friend told TVGuide Canada.


If the scenario rings familiar, it's because Scott has been in a similar situation before. In 2001, contract talks between Scott and show executives also went down to the wire. During those talks, Scott was said to have cleaned out her dressing room and walked off into the sunset. A few weeks later, CBS denied that Scott had left and reports surfaced that Scott had cleaned out her things because her dressing room was being renovated.

Yikes

Soaps are getting hit so hard these days.

I hope both parties can come to a mutual agreement. If I were an actor in soaps today, I'd definitely think twice before walking out of my contract, seeing that soaps are a dying breed and prime time television is a junk repository for reality entertainment. Acting jobs are growing more and more scarce... :eek:

I agree. I'm pretty sure that's what happened with Jess Walton. She finally came to her senses and realized she wouldn't find any work. I hope Melody will finally agree to come back as well. She might get a couple low budget, straight to DVD movies, but that would do nothing for her.

As far as Melody Thomas Scott situation goes she is coming ioff as a bit of a drama queen bitch IMO.

Back when her hiusband was one of TPTB at Y&R she had some pull and leverage but he's not there anymore. Im Not saying she's too old to get another major role on another show like her role of Nikki on Y&R.

But she needs to think this over before shooting her mouth off about what she will and wont do. She could get labeled as tempermental high maintenance and if that happens nobody will hire her.

Times are tough all around financially even at the top rated Y&R. Just look at Victoria Rowell who was Drucilla Winters. She shot her mouth off about how bad she was treated at Y&R and that there was racism at Y&R.

As far as I know she hasnt worked on any Soap or any other tv show regularly in quite some time.

Well, without knowing the full behind the scenes story, I think calling her a bitch is going a bit far. But yeah, she really does need to reconsider, because she will not get work elsewhere. Victoria Rowell was just a big cry baby. She first left the show because the cast didn't give her enough votes to get pre-nomination Emmy consideration. Then a year later she wanted to come back to the show so she acted all fake nice towards them. When they refused to take her back she started bashing some of the actors, Michelle Stafford being one of them.

That also explains her interest in Jack Abbott. After all they were once married.

Wow... I thought Mary Jane was going to turn out to be Jack's psychotic ex-lover Mary Jo, the one who shot Victor! Don't know anything about this other character, though. It does explain while the nutcase was looking at a picture of Paul and talking to her stuffed cat, she said something like "Oh, I can't make you my enemy..." :eek:

Here's a brief background on the character:

^Thanks for the background info on the character, Huntington! :)

No problem. The site is really good with backgrounds on most of the characters.

For those who enjoy reading, I thought I'd mention Eileen Davidson's novels. I just finished reading her first one, and I thought it was quite good. I was surprised at the quality of it. It's a great book for soap fans, because with the lead character being a soap star, it gives a good behind the scenes look.

Her second novel, Dial Emmy for Murder was released this month.

The show has really turned dark & dangerous lately. If Josh Morrow (Nick) doesn't receive an Emmy nomination from yesterday's moving scene at the hospital chapel with Victor, he will definitely have been robbed! He broke my heart in that scene and his emotions were so real and honest, with the background of Cassie's death hovering over Summer's condition. Michelle Stafford (Phyllis) proves yet again that she's quite simply the best and most compellingly believable actress in all of television. Watching the train wreck that is Mary Jo/Patty is also fascinating in a macabre way! :eek: That she would deliberately try to harm/kill an innocent child shows how dangerous she is, and of course this is all Victor's fault for bringing her back to Genoa City and manipulating her due to his bloodlust for revenge against Jack. He always gets away with everything, now doesn't he? :mad: Revisiting the Jill/Catharine love/hate relationship proves how a show can mine more than thirty years out of one storyline! :lol: And having Tricia Cast as Nina back on the show is a real treat to longtime fans, as the mystery of Phillip's "death" and Cane's true identity deepens! Not to mention that shocking scene between Adam & Rafe and all I can say is :clap

I am LOVING having her back. Nina was always one of my favorites, and I was really disappointed when Tricia left the show. I hope they keep her around for a while.

I like having Nina back too and hope she stays wonder how long it will be before Cricket returns. Cane sure proved me ight I said all along something wont right about him. Why in the world did they wait this long to bring Philip back from the grave. Cane lost it all and Im glad he was a real a$$hole playing them all like that. Im anxious to see what kinda game Philip played on them

Melody Thomas Scott, Y&R reach a deal

Melody Thomas Scott has signed a new contract with The Young and the Restless. Unfortunately, it wasn't in time to prevent the actress' alter ego, Nikki Neman, from being written off the show. The actress tells fans her exit is one that "is not to be missed."


Y&R fans can breath a sigh of relief: Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki Newman) and executives with The Young and the Restless have reached a deal on a new contract.


Scott recently sat down for an exclusive interview with TVGuide Magazine's Michael Logan to explain why she was willing to walk away from a show she's called home for more than 30 years. She also discussed what brought about her return, while carefully dodging questions about how her character will be written off the canvas -- albeit temporarily.


As previously reported by soapcentral.com, contract talks between Scott and Y&R executives broke off last month. But as the old adage says, the show must go on -- and it did. The daily process of putting together a show continued both on-camera and behind-the-scenes, where the writing team was developing story that would air after the expiration of Scott's then-current contract. Unsure if the two sides would reach a deal, the writers were forced to ink a story that would take Nikki off the canvas. Exactly what that story involves is a closely guarded secret.


However, a recent "tweet" by actor Kevin Schmidt (Noah Newman) revealed that his character would be attending a funeral. Schmidt did not reveal whose Y&R alter ego had died, but speculation immediately turned to his character's grandmother, Nikki. Since that time, the show has issued a memo prohibiting such communication by its stars.


Scott remained coy when Logan pressed her if it was possible that Nikki would be killed off.


"I really have to hand it to the writers. Nobody knew how this [contract situation] was going to end so they very cleverly figured out a way to get me off the show," Scott teased. "I never say stuff like this, but I have been so knocked out, so impressed with the writing of the episodes that air the first week of August. Please put this in your article: That week is not to be missed."


Logan also prodded Scott about the similarities between her most recent contract stalemate and one in 2001 that had the actress clearing out her dressing room. Of her previous impasse, Scott stated that "[w]hen things get to the point where you know you might never enter that building again [..] you pack ‘em up while you have the chance!"


Scott stated that she'll be off-screen for "a short amount of time" and that she has "not been given [an] exact date" of her on-screen return. reveals.


The terms of Scott's new contract are being kept under wraps. The actress states that her current contract -- as well as those in the past -- includes a non-disclosure clause that prohibits her from discussing the terms.


Melody Thomas Scott celebrated her 30th anniversary with the Young and the Restless on February 27, 2009.

Thats good news, I kinda figured they would work something out.

Anyhow the show is getting good.

Hooray... so glad she signed on again and can't wait to see what the upcoming storyline brings!!! :eek:

This is fantastic news give Melody a brief vacation then she can come back rested and invigorated again. Wonder how many yrs she signed for? As for her syoryline written out then comes back LOL TPTB at Y&R and B&B are famous for resurrecting dead characters. If Nikki is killed I feel like it will either be Adam or Mary Jane Benson.

Anyone have any invisible box spoilers about the upcoming storyline involving Nikki, Adam, Mary Jane, Victor & Ashley? ;)

I read that Mary Jane kills Victors dog Zappato that damn bitch. Nikki is supposed to die this month or thought to be dead and comes back because she re signed her contract after they had started to kill her off in the storyline.

I hope Ashley dumps Victor for all that crap he has pulled with Jill on her and I hope that they catch Adam and they kill him he is very very evil and Ashley doesnt deserve the way she is being treated

double post

Wow, thanks for the info. That Mary Jane/Patty sure is a nutcase, but Victor is responsible for unleashing her onto the population of Genoa City, not that he will ever have to pay for it, seeing as he gets away with everything and never alters his deranged, controlling, abusive behavior or learns any lessons at all from history repeating itself over and over and over... :mad: After everything comes out into the open, he will handily go off to one of his monastic retreats to ask forgiveness and come back one hundred percent the exact same evil...

Sorry for the double post, I was trying to edit my previous one...

I've heard that Jeanne Cooper & Christian Le Blanc (Catharine and Michael from The Young & The Restless) will be making an appearance on one of the last episodes of Guiding Light. Could it be that they will be taking one or more characters from Springfield to Genoa City after the soap comes to an end? My bet would be Reva or Josh or one or more members of the Spaulding clan might end up on Y&R! That would be really wonderful!

Did you guys catch the teaser trailer for the September 17th episode? It's going to be a definite heart-pounder, and directly involves the fates of Victor, Jack, Patty/Mary Jane and Colleen. Here's the teaser video on YouTube in case you missed it...

Its going to be a good week. Hopefully I can catch some of it.

Get Alan Spaulding over to Y@R I say,mind you its hard to have three big wigs in one soap.

That would be great, if only GL didn't kill the character of Alan off in the last week of the show! Not that a dead character from a different soap couldn't be resurrected on Y&R! :lol: If the show really is going to write the character of Victor off the canvas, they will definitely need another uber-villain to spice things up on the show! :eek:

Apparently, Kimberlin Brown will be returning as Sheila at the end of this month/beginning of Feb.

Im thrilled to hear Kimberlin is coming back to play the role of psycho Sheila Carter that she played so well on both Y&R and B&B. Nothing against Michelle Stafford she is very good at playing Phyllis Newman but she just wasnt Sheila Carter. My question s how do they explain why she isc alive because Sheila supposedly died in that jail cell Paul & Michael kept her in.

Another thing why has Eric Braeden/Victor Newman been off the show so long now? Did he take a vacation or did he have another project lined up like a movie to do. As much as I hate to say it I miss Victor being o Y&R.

"Sheila" died when she was shot by Lauren. However, it's most likely going to turn out that it was Sugar, and not Sheila who was shot by Lauren. Sugar was the woman who Sheila had get plastic surgery to look like her.

Eric Braeden left the show due to contract differences a few months ago. About a month later it was announced that he would be returning. His first air date is sometime mid-month.

Damn Sheila must be part cat cause I think she hasd 9 lives I mean she has been supposedly dead twice on Y&R. Y&R without Eric Braeden as Victor Newman would really hurt the show thank goodness he re-signed

BTW I read om the Y&R forum spoilers for this week Victor returns

I knew that Wicked Sheila would have to be returning! Is Daisy supposed to be Sheila's daughter? What connection does Ryder have to all of this? :eek:

It's rumored that both Daisy and Ryder are Sheila's children, but I guess we'll have to see.

If its true, this will make a great storyline.

I seem to remember that up until the tragic loss of Cassie,Sharon and Phyllis got along and seemed to like eachother.
That all changed when Daniel and Cassie got into that tragic car accident that cost Cassie her life.
Now it's as if Phyllis and Sharon were meant to be enemies.

Do I remember the first part correctly?

I see Stephen Nichols showed up as Tucker. I still say this is a great coup for Y&R.

Was anybody else really fooled as much as I was by Victor & Adam performance at the Athletic Club? They really pulled one over on me I really thought Victor had disowned Adam they were very believable. Can't wait to see Ashley chew him out about lying to her on 2-2-2010/ Wonder when they cooked up such a good plan because I feel it will work to beat Mccall for Katherine and Victor will get Jabot instead of the Abots

Yep, they both did well with that scene. Considering their past, it wasn't too hard to believe that they hated each other that much.

Is anyone else annoyed by the whole "Mama Bear" storyline? It was all set up for Kimberlin Brown to return as Sheila, who everyone assumed was Mama Bear, but they scrapped that idea.

It's VERY obvious that Mama Bear is being played by Tracey Bregman

I just really hope they don't make her Sheila.

Yeah the mama bear story is starting to get boring.


I hear this week someone is supposed to get killed.


I am guessing Adam but we'll see.

I was hoping Kimberlin Brown would be returning... this storyline isn't making much sense if Daisy & Ryder aren't Sheila's brats! :eek:

I'm really hoping Mama Bear isn't going to be Sheila with yet another face (Lauren's).

I am sick and tired of this whole Daisy, Rhyder&Mama Bear storyline. Like was stated earlier everyone thought MB would have been Sheila Carter back from the grave and Kimberlin Brown playin the role she played so well.

Tracey Bergman as good Lauren & Evil MB aint gonna work for me its gonna be so stupid!!! Lauren being evil and mean to herself and ppl close to Lauren thats a joke nobody is gonna believe that. These new Y&R writers really need help.

Another thing that needs to end is this whole Adam Wilson deal how in the hell can an almost totally blind man keep getting away from ppl like he has 20/20 vision. He needs to be caught and given the death penalty along with Daisy & Mama Bear. I actually think Rhyder could with therapy become a good guy on the show.


Daisy, Mama Bear & Adam should all imo die
Rhyder if he tells on Daisy & Mama Bear gets some jail time with psychological help

Has Emily lost her mind just because Jack didnt know that Patty was not her and that she was locked up at the nuthouse she is gonna end they're relationship saying he never really loved her which is bullcrap Jack loves Emily to death always has. Emily needs to realize Jack is a great catch and she isn't that pretty IMO. So she needs to think about what she is losing if she ends her relationship with Jack.

Also I think Adam is still alive, and set this whole thing up to frame Nick.

Isn't that pretty? Wow...

Nice!

Nice!

Thanks. I mean, obviously they are making up the character these days to look horribly exhausted and the blonde doesn't really work for her, but Stacy Haiduk is far from a homely woman.

Isn't that pretty? Wow...

I only knew her as Emily on the show and she looks really pretty in her publicity photo and much younger than her character Emily. But Jack still is one hell of a catch money, looks, & power she is still nuts if she dumps Jack.

Though, she was also just locked in a padded room for a few months. It would take quite a bit of adjusting to get back to life. She would definitely need some intense therapy.

What is pissing me off is Emily is blaming Jack for everything that psycho patty did to her. if he really loved her he would have known all along patty wasn't her and thats why she is ending thy're relationship.


Yes Adam is alive and well from what I have heard he is doing some sort of movie and when its over he will be back.

For all Y&R fans who are worried that Lily is gonna die from cancer she is not going to die. Christel Khalil who plays Liliy Winters is pregnant in real life and is going on maternity leave and will be back sometime after she has her baby.

I loved the soap until the changes in writing and storylines. Everyone is either going to prison, killing someone, or stabbing each other in the back. I don't mind that type of story every now and then, but it's getting a little old to have it every day.

She actually already had the baby and is back from her short maternity leave.

Okay anyone else sick of Skye.

Okay anyone else sick of Skye.

I'm indifferent about her at this point. They could potentially use her well, but knowing them, she will probably be wasted.

I've been reading reports that John Driscoll (Chance) and Wilson Bethel (Ryder) have both been let go from the show!

^

wow I didnt hear that. On the CBS webpage they are saying Deacon is supposed to be returning real soon.

Okay anyone else sick of Skye.

SO VERY SICK OF HER BUT IT'S GOING TO BE WONDERFUL NOW THAT CHLOE KNOWS. LOVE TO SEE CHLOE GET ANGRY IT SHOULD BE VERY GOOD

Is it me,or does Billy and Victoria's new house look a lot like the set of the 1950s sitcom "Father Knows Best"?

Is it me,or does Billy and Victoria's new house look a lot like the set of the 1950s sitcom "Father Knows Best"?

Is this a Joke? Thats the main reason they bought it. Didn't you see awhile back when Victoria bought over the Father Knows Best DVDs and they watched them and found out hat they both liked the how especially Victoria. She wanted the house as soon as Gloria told them that the previous owner loved Father Knows Best and made the House a complete replica of the Andersons house.

I am so happy Billy finally grew up today and did the right thing got on one knee and asked her to marry him that was very sweet segment

How many of Y&R fan wanna kill that bitch Meggie trying to steal Victor from Nikki by giving her booze & getting her back drinking again. I tell you one thing when Victor finds out what Meggie is doing she is really gonna get it then

What the hell is wrong with Phyllis after she & Nick finally divorced she has become a super psycho bitch from hell

I don't like Meggie, however, I am for anything that could potentially bring Melody Thomas Scott front and center for a bit. She needs a solid storyline.

I think a lot of fans forget who Phyllis is. She has always been a nasty person. For whatever reason, the writers have sugar coated her over the past several years, attempting to give her some redeeming qualities. Michelle Stafford knows how to play the bitch role well, and I'm personally loving it.

I know she was the queen of mean on Y&R awhile back. But this jumping on anyone and everyone when she doesn;t have all the facts. She keeps blogging abou everybody in GC somebody will sue her.

See here is something on Y&R that really pisses me off about TPTB at Y&R. They are a bunch of hypocrites. Look at how many just a little chubby like Nina Chancellor to really fat women like Trazi Abbott & Sofia are on Y&R. When they fired the lovely girl Adrienne Frantz who was the Collen Carlton before the one that played her when the character was killed off the show just for being a chubby. Adrienne Frantz.

Nina, Traci, and especially Sofia are much fatter than Adrienne Frantz was. Adrienne Frantz was better looking than all three of them put together yet Adrienne Frantz was fired. Thats why I say TPTB at Y&R are a bunch of hypocrites

I really loved the all female episode the other day. It was different and really entertaining to me. I loved the cattiness of it. I'm just glad that Phyllis and Nick are no more. I hope they keep it that way. I always found them awkward as a couple.

While I wouldn't call Beth Maitland or the woman who plays Sophia "really" fat, yes, they are overweight. And you make a really good point. You meant Adrianne Leon (Adrienne Frantz played Amber). I loved Adrianne as Colleen and it was incredibly ridiculous that they let her go, especially since they wanted more weight on her to begin with. Though, I'm pretty sure that happened when the horrendous nutcase Lynn Marie Latham was in charge. Now that Maria Arena Bell is co-head writer, things are quite different as far as characters go. She's bringing back a bunch of older characters for nostalgia, which I love. I'm so glad that Nina is back, and I hope she stays with the show in some form or another permanently. I hated when she left. It was so nice to see Lauralee Bell back, and I wish it wasn't just a temporary "visit." I enjoy how Y&R incorporates characters with extra weight on them, because it's more true to real life since not everyone is stick thin and looking like they belong on the cover of a magazine.

No I honestly missed the part about what Gloria told them.You don't have to get agressive with me.

I can't believe Chance is dead.:eek:
Christine is so pathetic.How could she do this to her best friend?She depresses me.In the past she was a poor helpless victim.But this time she's really done it.Even Jill's upset with her now.(It seems to me that Chris was one of few people Jill actually liked from the start.)Honestly how does she get through life?I can imagine that Phyllis will eventually put in her two cents worth about her.:mad:
I definetly feel for Nena.:(

Such great acting by Tricia Cast. It's too bad the Emmy's are too stupid to care.

I think Billy needs to take a tire iron or a 2 by 4 and just beat the holy hell out of his egomaniac of a bastard father in law Victor. Victor went way way over the line having his own pregnant daughter jailed on her wedding day really pissing off everybody. and If Nikki marries his sorry ass after this she's nuts.

She oughto tell him to go sraight to hell I will never ever marry you again. Let him marry that bar slut Meggie that wants him at any cost.

I hope everyone especially Victoria never forgives him. I hope Victoria turns his ass in for asll the crooked stuff he has done puts his sorry ass in prison too.

Thursday Dec 23 episode was the best Y&R of 2010. imo one of the best ever. Eric Braeden acting was outstanding. The Christmas eve episode was very good too.

I concur

What did Victor have for Jack in that white package? Im hoping all the money he screwed Jack out of when he pulled his money out of the Newman fund early. The its a wonderful life episode with Michael was great too. I love it when mean Lauren told that mom & son theres a reason Fenmores doesn't have a Childrens section sticky fingers LOL



Spoler alert
Victor wirneses a tragedy this week. Any thought on what it might be?

I am furious with the writers at Y&R. Why in the hell kill off Cane Ashby he was one of the most interesting and likeable characters on the whole show.

I have no idea.

There has been nothing about Daniel Goddard leaving the show so I'd be shocked if his death doesn't end up being fake.

I hadn't heard anything about Daniel leaving the show either, so I'm hoping Cane's death was indeed a hoax!

Emily O'Brien (Jana) has been let go. No word on a final airdate yet. They really wrote her character into the ground over the past year.

Just bumped this thread in case any Y&R fans would like to continue daily discussions.

Kristoff St. John’s TV family is remembering the late actor in a special way.

On Friday, May 28, The Young and The Restless will celebrate St. John and his beloved character, Neil Winters, with an emotional episode.

In the episode, Neil’s children, Lily (Christel Khalil), Devon (Bryton James), and Moses (Jacob Aaron Gaines), plan a walking tour in Genoa City featuring sights and sounds from Neil’s past. The episode will also feature flashbacks from Kristoff St. John’s nearly three decade run at Y&R.

Today was such a dumb episode, but what’s new, I guess. Most of the other characters’s airtime was pushed to the side for the “big” DNA paternity test moment. First of all, why does Kyle’s dumbass make announcements and makes claims on Harrison before even opening the results? Just shut up, open it, and get it over with. And then, can we give a round of applause to Michael Mealor for winning Worst Y&R Actor Of The Week Awards? The way he paused was so cringy and forced with no effort put into it. And I just can’t believe Jack is still rooting for Kyle the way he is. If anything, he should be disappointed, he shouldn’t CONDONE this travesty. Kyle is a grown man, Jack should teach him responsibility and accountability and how to act like a grown man instead of learning how to get spoiled by Sugar Daddy here. Kyle is not a little boy anymore. And the way Jack waved the paternity tests in Ashland’s face as if it was something to be proud of. Give the man a break, you’d think he’d be compassionate and relate after the whole Victor/Jack/Diane sperm situation that went on back in the day. And poor Summer, she’s such a little devil, but this storyline is so bad that I’m actually rooting for her. The way she walked in and watched the whole thing unfold, her face said “I’m tired of this crap”. And then to see Kyle rush over to Tara’s side to defend her from “the big, bad” Locke was painful to see. I don’t trust that bitch Tara at all, never have from day one. She is definitely not a reliable, loyal, dedicated housewife, that’s for sure. She is nothing but a disgusting, insecure, conniving opportunist. She doesn’t want Kyle, she just can’t stand to see him happy with Summer, that’s the only reason why she’s residing in The Abbott Mansion. Not for the sake of her son. I’ll admit, this is karma for Summer after the whole Kyle/Lola/Summer mess, but this is just disgusting. The aftermath with Harrison was disappointing and painful to watch as well. Jack is lower than I thought for accepting this mess and kissing Kyle’s ass, and now he’s encouraging Harrison into the family, not within even a week of getting to know him? He needs to mind his own business and find a woman instead of meddling in Ashland/Kyle/Tara’s business. And Tara is upset and angry with Ashland for wanting to see his son? I swear, the woman is looney tunes. Hell yeah, I would want to see my son, or who I thought was my son after this bull. The worst part of the Harrison situation was when Tara and Kyle “admitted” to a THREE YEAR OLD, may I remind you a THREE YEAR OLD about him having “two dads” in so many words. And then, Harrison just accepts it and is willing to leave behind his father, his REAL father, Ashland, who he knew as dad for years and live the good life in Abbott Mansion with no objections, and in fact called Kyle “daddy”, right off the bat, without getting to properly know him. Too dumb. And Summer is a fool for believing that Kyle is going to stay loyal to her without at least having the temptation of getting with Tara AGAIN. If Ashland is not the father, then why did they hype and build up this whole storyline like this and even had a cliffhanger on Monday’s episode? I’m still not convinced that Kyle is the father. If he is, this was one sucky, disappointing storyline.

I don't like Tara either. She is definitely up to something no good. I haven't seen the most recent episode. I'll watch it with my brunch later. I saw in the previous episode how Kyle told Ashland that he's not the father even before he opened the envelope with the results. Yes, Kyle is one major dumbass. I loathed him even before he married Lola. I thought he was such a submissive, kiss-ass, prissy-pot even back then. Summer could do a whole lot better.

The way Tara walked in like she owned the place and told Summer “maybe I’ll be staying in Genoa City, in The Abbott Mansion permanently” I was like, “bitch, ain’t no way in hell you gonna look in Summer’s face with a straight face and tell her that crap”. Tara is definitely a sick, demented woman, that’s for sure. How Ashland put up with her all those years is beyond me. And I’m still disappointed in Jack, who I might as well refer to as JackAss. He should mind his own business and find a woman instead of inserting himself in Ashland/Tara/Kyle’s business. He’s setting a bad example for Kyle, how is he supposed to be responsible, and for that matter a grown man when Sugar Daddy’s giving him a pat on the back, a lollipop, and protecting him from the “scawy monsta” Locke. I wish Ashland would punch the HELL outta Jack and Kyle, just once. And it seems as if he’s actually PROUD of the outcome of the paternity tests, acting all high and mighty and waving the tests in Ashland’s face and welcoming Harrison in the family like that. This storyline is such a joke. How is Kyle supposed to father Harrison, as young and inexperienced he is and he’s practically just a big baby himself? It makes no sense. And now Summer is just supposed to sit here and watch Tara drool over Kyle as if he’s some kinda dessert and watch the whole Abbott family kiss Kyle and Tara’s ass and welcome Harrison into the family and la dee da? I think not. Don’t blame Summer for being skeptical and annoyed with this bull. I never thought I’d be saying this, but for the first time, Summer actually DESERVES better than Kyle. Michael Mealor is hands down, the WORST Kyle. Even the previous Kyle recast was better than him.

The way Tara walked in like she owned the place and told Summer “maybe I’ll be staying in Genoa City, in The Abbott Mansion permanently” I was like, “bitch, ain’t no way in hell you gonna look in Summer’s face with a straight face and tell her that crap”. Tara is definitely a sick, demented woman, that’s for sure. How Ashland put up with her all those years is beyond me. And I’m still disappointed in Jack, who I might as well refer to as JackAss. He should mind his own business and find a woman instead of inserting himself in Ashland/Tara/Kyle’s business.

I detest this Kyle. He's so prissy and clueless. Tara is a lying, manipulative hag. I actually feel bad for Ashland, that he has been lied to and led to love who he thought was his son for three years. That's just evil of Tara to let him believe that lie.
I agree about Jack. He should have a little compassion for a man who has been lied to for years about the paternity of a child.

Michael Mealor is such a crappy actor. I don’t remember seeing him in anything else before The Young and The Restless, so this must be one of his first acting gigs. He plays Kyle like such a dumb, immature, wimp ass idiot.

Tara, who I’ll now refer to as The Bag Lady, is so disgusting. Leading on the man that was head over hills in love with her and having him believe that Harrison was his all those years. Now she’s living it up in Abbott Mansion, with Harrison, living the good life, with Kyle. After all the deceitful, nasty, vicious, sick things she’s done, she’s furious at Ashland for wanting to see his son? Her mindset is so disturbing and senile like. If she was doing anything for Harrison’s own good, he would be staying with his REAL father, Ashland, not living in Abbott Mansion while his mother, Tara, is trying to get some from Kyle and run Summer away. I’m sorry, but for the very first time, I’m Team Summer.

JackAss is such a douche for giving Ashland the third class treatment, while his wife, The Bag Lady is enjoying the view with the pilot. So insensitive and cruel. Josh Griffith is making Jack into such a sociopath. Last time I checked, Kyle’s mother was Diane Jenkins. Need I say more?

Yes, Jack needs to remember Diane Jenkins and then put himself in Ashland's shoes. I agree with you about the bag lady. I think she is an opportunist and a gold digger. She's so gross and you're right about her wanting Summer out of the picture. I am also on team Summer and I am on team Ashland too. I wish he could wipe that smug, cocky look off Kyle's face.

And look where Diane is now. They treated Diane too harshly and they’re treating the bag lady here like she’s the Katherine Chancellor of Genoa City. Kyle himself is an example of a disaster, so why would he in return take in another one? The bag lady is no innocent in this mess. She thinks she’s gonna be happily married to Kyle one day and her, Harrison, and Kyle are gonna be a happy family. She doesn’t want Kyle. She wants attention and to see Kyle suffer and if that means driving a wedge between Kyle and Summer and getting Summer out of the picture and forcing Harrison on Kyle, to her, it’s worth it. While her “honey”, Ashland was at work, making the money, Tara was probably “making dessert” with someone else too while Harrison was put away in another room. The bag lady needs to be put down and locked up like Chelsea.

I just watched the most recent episode. Now I detest Tara, (bag lady) even more. She is so cruel and evil for lying to Ashland for over three years about Harrison. Ashland looked so crushed when he read the paternity results. Tara totally turned his life upside down. And I think the opportunist, gold digging bag lady is looking for a lot more than attention. She wants some of the Abbott fortune. Summer seems to be the only one who is suspicious of Tara. I don't know why everyone else in town treats her like she's royalty. She's a rotten snake.
Glad to see Mishael Morgan back. Karla Mosley was making me nauseous.

And just imagine what went on while Ashland was at work. The bag lady was probably having a good ol’ time, juggling both Kyle and some other guy as well. I doubt Kyle was the only one. Now that Ashland made the smart decision of dumping The Bag Lady, you’re right, she probably needs some money to get back on her feet again and she’s probably chasing after the Abbott fortune too. But I think her main motive is pawning Harrison on Kyle to get back at him for being with Summer and getting Summer out of the picture so she won’t feel bad about herself. While she’s at it, she needs to get off her lazy, sick ass and find a job, although no one with half a brain would hire her though. Now that the paternity tests are out, I’m even more convinced that Ashland is the true father instead of Kyle. I think somehow The Bag Lady got involved with the development of the paternity tests and tampered with them, like Sharon did with Summer’s paternity tests a couple years ago to get back at Ashland for dumping her. The Bag Lady here is obviously delusional and sick and guilty and deceitful and revenge obsessed as ever and is playing mind games.

Thank god Phyllis called Jack out on the bull. Of all people, it might’ve been hypocritical, but at least she told the truth for once in her life.

Does anyone else but me think that the Abby surrogacy story is so horrendous and out of place? It would’ve been at least neutral if Chance was here, but there is nothing redeemable whatsoever about the storyline. I’d rather watch paint dry than watch and endure this pathetic, disgusting excuse for a storyline. It just developed out of nowhere with no build up. Melissa Ordway is a mediocre actress as it is, but this storyline is defeating her whole time as an actress. It looks as if Abby and Mariah are gonna stop and make love to each other at any time now, you see way more Abby and Mariah scenes than you ever see Mariah and Tessa. I’m so sick of hearing Abby boasting and whining about her “babyuh” being on the way. Another thing I’m sick of is the “vids” they make for the baby, so cringy and a waste of time. Monday’s Abby/Devon/Mariah/Tessa scenes were so ridiculously boring. I think all that came out of it was Mariah falling down at Chancellor Park and apparently hurting her wrist, and boy, how that was so dramatic and suspenseful, and Abby making some kind of high pitched noise over the “oh, so stressful” situation, I don’t know if she was whining, choking, laughing, screaming or what, but I’m tired of hearing her voice, period. And did Mariah really give Kyle advice on how to raise Harrison on today’s episode? Of all people. Last time I checked, she’s never had a child before and the closest she’s ever gotten to taking in one is babysitting Faith, and she’s no baby, so she’s in no position to give advice on that subject. I really wish Chance would come back already and dump Abby and get it over with. These dumb writers really wasted Tricia Cast’s time with this dumbass storyline. She’s probably thinking, “why did I even sign up for this?”

I really hate that Nina is being wasted in this dumb Abby/Mariah/Devon/baby storyline. So I guess the baby will be biologically related to Chance in some way. Devon is Katherine's grandson and Chance is also a grandson? Is that right? Are Chance and Devon cousins or something?

Nina had Chance with Phillip Chancellor III, Jill’s son who she had with Phillip Chancellor II, Katherine’s husband who died in a car crash with Katherine behind the wheel. There’s some scenes of that on YouTube. But since Katherine raised and took in Chance’s father, Katherine was a grandmother figure to Chance. Devon was the result of an affair between Katherine Chancellor’s long lost biological son, Tucker McCall and Yolanda “Harmony” Hamilton. Neil and Drucilla took in and adopted Devon, so that’s why he’s considered a part of the Hamilton-Winters family.

Yes, Tricia Cast’s time and potential is wasted here over this dumb crap. I really liked Tricia Cast’s last stint as Nina from 2009-2014, especially when she was with Paul and discovering that her husband, Phillip Chancellor III had really faked his death the whole time. Now seeing Nina appear on the canvas is equivalent to getting a headache.

Oh, Okay... I thought Chance and Devon were like second cousins or something but now I see they are actually not related at all. Devon is biologically related to Katherine, but Chance is not.

Jill needs to return soon, but I don’t think Jess Walton is up to it, with her husband being sick and all. She needs to set Billy and Lily straight and catch up on what’s going on with Newman Media in the development and The Abbotts.

I saw Jess Walton in an old episode of Kojak from the '70s. I think she was in her early twenties. She looked fabulous!
Anyway, I would love for her to come back as Jill.
I wonder if Danny Romalotti will ever return. Maybe he can come back and it will mess with Phyllis' head so Nick dumps her. :lol: Actually, I don't mind Phyllis and Nick this time around.

Wow! I bet it was fun spotting Jill!

About Danny, I would LOVE for him to return. He needs to come back, along with his sister, Gina and his “son”, Daniel. There were rumors of him returning a while back but nothing came of it. How about a Danny/Nina/Traci love triangle? I would really like that. And now that you mentioned it, Phyllis and Nick aren’t so annoying this time around. Not as aggravating as the last few times, but it still baffles me how Nick is still with Phyllis after last time, when he found out that Phyllis ratted out Nikki/Victoria/Sharon. I still miss Jack and Phyllis though.

Oh, please. Please spare the torture of cringe. Remember at the end of yesterday’s episode where Kyle couldn’t find Tara and Harrison. Well, turns out they were just at the park. :rolleyes: Just fire Josh Griffith already.

I haven't seen the most recent episode yet. I'll get to it in a few hours, but it sounds ridiculous. Kyle panicking over nothing? Figures... I guess he thought Ashland abducted Tara and Harrison. :rolleyes: I feel bad for Ashland and I want Tara to receive some sort of backlash for lying to him for years about Harrison's paternity.

Oh, believe me, it WAS ridiculous. Kyle called Jack, who was at The Grand Phoenix and asked him if he saw Tara and Jack said not recently. So after that, I guess the “GENIUS” idea dawned on Kyle to look where he’d “least” suspect, Chancellor Park, and there The Bag Lady was, with Harrison. I eventually turned it to another channel for a minute after Kyle and The Bag Lady started making goo goo eyes at each other.

I’m getting sick of the rouge wearing Sally. Watching her carry over scenes is like dying of a slow, painful death. I thought her storyline with Flo was bad on The Bold and The Beautiful, but that’s nothing compared to The Young and The Restless. She has so much potential moving on to new horizons and letting loose and having fun plotting and scheming like her late aunt, Sally Spectra I, but instead she’s being used a doormat and is being stuck with The Abbotts/Kyle/Summer. Jack and Sally? puke: Oh my god, what are these dumb writers thinking? Why hasn’t CBS fired Josh Griffith yet?

With them, their motto is “as long as the checks keep rollling, everyone will be alright.” They don’t care how bad or harsh or cringy the writing is.

Oh my god. First it was Chelsea, now it’s Tara with the wearing of the same clothes day after day. Are they ever gonna change her outfit?

If her and Ashland battle in court and she goes to court wearing that.

:lol::mad::eek::barf:

Today’s Kyle/Summer/Harrison scenes were better than the lousy Kyle/Harrison/ Bag Lady scenes but they were still hard to sit through. I can’t believe Kyle and Summer are going through with Round 3 of the wedding fiasco. Are the writers this desperate? Just break the trainwreck up and get it over with. What’s gonna happen this time? Tara’s gonna kidnap Summer and take her place as the bride? Or are the valid DNA tests gonna finally come in? And Meddling Mariah needs to mind her own business and tend to the baby instead of being the Katherine Chancellor of Genoa City and kissing The Bag Lady’s ass. All that stress over one damn person isn’t good on the baby. Another bad episode. How does CBS not see the damage Josh Griffith is doing to Y&R and how does Josh Griffith think his atrocious, appalling handiwork is Nobel Peace Prize worthy?

Did anybody else LOL at the way The Bag Lady looked in disbelief when Kyle announced that him and Bummer were “getting married again”. She played it off at first and congratulated Kyle and as soon as he left the room, she made the “That damn Summer!” look. The bitch knows she’s gonna be thrown to the side momentarily for Summer. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely HATE Kyle and Summer, no chemistry whatsoever, but the way The Bag Lady walked in on their engagement party at Society throwing Harrison in Kyle’s face, I wanted to smack the hell out of her through the TV. I’m most certain she has a screw loose or something. I can’t wait for the ACTUAL, not the fraud DNA tests to come back revealing that Ashland is the father, but the way things are going now, we’ll never know who’s the ACTUAL biological father. This stupid crap pisses me off.

BTW: The Bag Lady finally changed her outfit. Now I can rest at night.

Mariah was being a big nosy-body today, but that was nothing compared to how much I wanted to slap Bag Lady today.
Little Harrison is so adorable, but his Bag Lady mama needs to get him a haircut.
Yes, Bag Lady changed her outfit today! It's about damn time!
Elena seemed really jealous that Nate was chatting it up with Imani today.

Mariah needs to mind her business. I’m so damn tired of seeing her intrude and getting into people’s business. Isn’t she pregnant? This is so dumb. She can get a bitch slap big time too.

You’re right about Harrison, the poor boy probably doesn’t exactly know what’s going on, but it’s time to take it to the barber. This storyline is so forced and far fetched in favor of The Abbotts to the point where it makes no sense.

I also agree with you about Elena. She’s infatuated with Devon but at the same time she wants Nate so bad, even more now that Imani ran into him at the coffee house. This seems to be going somewhere, but with Josh Griffith you never know. By next week, Elena might be in Devon’s pants again.

Based on the way The Bag Lady looked after Kyle left the room, she’s up to something, and if things continue the way they are, her sick, evil, devious plan is about to unfold. Hopefully this means the REAL DNA tests are about to come out or Kyle and his sugar daddy, JackAss are about to throw The Bag Lady out and give her a taste of her own medicine. The evil bitch needs to be put down. It bothers me that Chelsea is locked up while The Bag Lady is roaming around free.

Bag Lady is definitely using that poor little boy as part of her sick plan. No doubt she is gold digging seeing as how the Abbotts are just as rich as Ashland. She definitely has a wicked plot in the works. I could sense the wheels turning in her mind when Kyle left the room.
I am wondering if Naya has something to do with Amanda's father (Richard's) death. Why else would Sutton be so resistant to a strategy that could help him? Could he be protecting Naya?

I’m gonna make a safe bet and agree with you that Naya is somehow involved with Richard’s death although I’m not paying that much attention to the storyline, although it is nice to see Thelma Hopkins again.

Yes, Telma Hopkins still looks great since her days as Aunt Rachel on Family Matters and as Addy Wilson on Gimme A Break. She was also on an episode of The Nanny. I like her a lot.

She seems like she’s a very nice woman. I recently watched an interview with her and Bryton James, who plays Devon, and she revealed that she’s a big fan of Y&R.
