That was fast! Justin Hartley’s (ex-Y&R, Passions) hit drama Tracker has completed its freshman season with an emotional episode that aired on Sunday, May 20th and was a ratings winner.

Hartley brought in former This Is Us love interest Jennifer Morrison as guest star in an episode entitled The Storm.

According to The Wrap, The Tracker season finale brought in 7.36 million viewers, making it Sunday night’s most-watched broadcast program, according to Nielsen live-plus-same-day Fast National data.

In story, Colter Shaw (Hartley) investigates the disappearance of two amateur storm chasers, one of whom is the daughter of an old family friend (Morrison), that the local police have written off as an accidental drowning. Colter’s expert tracking skills lead him to uncover the seedy underbelly of a small town resort.

Tracker’s freshman season started off with a bang, when Hartley’s new show premiered right after the Super Bowl in February and brought in 18.4 million viewers. Even though nothing matched those impressive numbers, the series continued to bring in week-to-week major numbers for CBS and streaming on Paramount+.

All I know is I’m loving it, with the exception that I’d like to see some guest stars that we know and recognize. I don’t think I’ve seen one guest star that I could say, oh, that’s so and so , etc.

got to be honest i have watched him on everything from passions to this is us i give him credit but sorry i just cannot connect to this show i don’t know what it is but i have tried and no

Maybe he’s too good to be true, never fails to find the lost person. Another good show is Will Trent. Any fellow viewers out there?

This time, it’s Y&R’s Christine and Danny, played by Lauralee Bell and Michael Damian who depart Genoa City and head to Los Angeles. According to US Weekly, it will be a two-day appearance and the duo are actually taping their scenes today on June 27th.

In the story tease which will air on the CBS soap on August 13th and 14th, “Danny and Christine are invited to the Forrester Estate for a party celebrating the success of the relaunch of Brooke Logan’s (Katherine Kelly Lang) ‘Brooke’s Bedroom’ fashion line … or so they think.”

However, there is more to it than that. Brooke and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) have invited them to pitch a new business venture. And then, be on the lookout for Danny to perform for the partygoers in a surprise moment.

The genesis of this crossover came from Lauralee’s real-life brother, The Bold and the Beautiful’s executive producer and head writer, Brad Bell. The discussion involved seeing Danny is his element. Lauralee confirmed, “Of course he would have a concert in L.A. and that’s how the idea came about.”

This is not the first time for Lauralee dropping into The Bold and the Beautiful. She previously appeared on the show back in 2007 when she appeared on-screen for a court case, since Christine is a lawyer.

In current story on Y&R, Christine and Danny reunited, and she is accompanying him on his tour, Bell shares you will see Christine in a “very rockstar’s girlfriend” outfit at the ‘Brooke’s Bedroom’ launch party.

Bell and Damian’s B&B appearances also coincides with the 40th anniversary of the romance of Christine and Danny. Lauralee teased, that in honor of it, “We’re doing a remix of a big song from before, but you’ll have to wait and see what it is!”

However, Michael Damian revealed on his Instagram Story that there is a brand new remixed version of “Rock On” available, which is his signature number one tune in real-life. You can check out a preview below and listen on Spotify and all music streaming platforms.

Y&R’s Joshua Morrow Shares Heartfelt Message on His 30-Year Anniversary: “Thanks for Sticking with Me and Your Boy Nick”

Last Friday, June 21st marked Joshua Morrow’s 30th anniversary with The Young and the Restless as Nick Newman. The show honored Morrow with a special episode filled with flashbacks of his time in Genoa City from a teenager to an adult, and moments from his Nick’s love story with Sharon, his children, and the Newman family.

On Monday, June 24th, Morrow, who is very reclusive when it comes to social media posts, took a moment to share his heartfelt thanks to everyone who wished him well for his three decades portraying good guy, Nick.

Back in 1994, Morrow was cast in the role of Victor (Eric Braeden) and Nikki’s (Melody Thomas Scott) son, after the producers remembered him from auditioning for the role of Dylan on The Bold and the Beautiful. Throughout his time on The Young and the Restless, Morrow has been nominated for five Daytime Emmy Awards.

Recently, Joshua spoke with TV Insider on his long-running role and shared, “I mean, could you imagine a better situation to have your career? To have my parents be Eric Braeden and Melody Thomas Scott is almost unfair. They’re icons and they’re like family to me and I just love them so much. I respect them so much. They’ve been a very big part of my journey and I’m very grateful to them for who they are as people and actors on the show.”

So, what do you hope happens for Nick on Y&R in the next 5 to 10 years? Do you want him back with Sharon? Comment below.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Nick Reflects on His Love Story with Sharon, Being Victor and Nikki’s Son, in Joshua Morrow’s 30-Year Milestone Episode

On Friday’s June 21st episode of The Young and the Restless, the top-rated soap delivered Joshua Morrow’s 30th anniversary episode as Nick Newman.

The show utilized plenty of clips from the past (as had been promoted) as a look back from the teenage Nick who grew into the man he is today. At the epicenter of the storytelling vehicle, the show decided to tell most of it through the ups and downs of Nick’s love story with Sharon (Sharon Case).

In the present, the two are together getting ready to welcome home their daughter, Faith (Reylynn Caster), who has been abroad. When she returns, she breaks down in tears. She informs her parents that Moses broke-up with her. Faith says she plans on never falling in love again and is impressed that her parents still get along after splitting up “a zillion times.”

Nick chimes in it wasn’t all bad, there were some good times too. Cue the clips and we go to a young Sharon and Nick about to go skinny-dipping on a tropical island.  All of sudden, Mariah (Camryn Grimes) and Tessa (Cait Fairbanks) arrive and then sit down and join the trip down memory lane, wanting to hear all about Sharon and Nick’s past.

From there, we get moments from the Matt Clark (Eddie Cibrian) story and murder, Sharon sleeping with Diego, and Nick sleeping with Grace and then Sharon asking for a divorce, how Cassie came into their lives, and how Nick accepted her as his own daughter.

In two pivotal moments, Nick reflects back at Cassie’s death and how Victoria (Amelia Heinle) came to try to comfort him, but he could not cope with the loss and turned to Phyllis (Michelle Stafford). Later, there is the confrontation scene where Sharon tells Nick she knows he has been having an affair with her arch enemy.

Eventually, Sharon tells Faith, Tessa and Mariah, how before Cassie died, she had the premonition that she and Nick would have another little girl, and that turned out to be Faith. Sharon and Nick recall their ‘almost wedding, where she slapped him at the altar. Even through all of this, they explain to the young woman that they still share a lot of love between them.

At the end of the episode, Nick comes by to see his parents, Victor and Nikki. At first, he comes upon a photo of his sister, Victoria. Nick remembers seeing her again and welcoming her back to Genoa City (and when Amelia Heinle took over the role), and when Nick and Victoria shared a classic sibling moment before her wedding to Billy.

Next, Nick’s parents, Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) and Victor (Eric Braeden) walk-in. They sit down and Nick says there is something he needs to say to them. It is then where it felt to us, that Joshua was speaking to Melody and Eric, just as Nick wouspeak to Nikki and Victor.

With tears in his eyes, Nick says that he wants them both to know how much he loves them and how indebted he is for the life they’ve given him. Nikki asks where is all this coming from? Nick reveals that he and Sharon told Faith the good and bad of their relationship and it reminded him of some of the mistakes he’s made.

Reflective, Nick says he hopes he has become wiser in the process. In the touching final moments, Nick tells his parents that he couldn’t have asked for better role models. Victor says they couldn’t have asked for a better son as Nikki holds Nick’s hand tightly. The camera pans up to a few photos of Nick through the years that are with his parents.
