Christel Khalil Reveals She Almost Quit Acting After ‘That’s So Raven’ Audition, But Then Came ‘The Young and the Restless’
The Young and the Restless fan favorite, Christel Khalil (Lily Winters) is the special guest on this week’s edition of Soapy Hosted by Rebecca Budig and Greg Rikaart which dropped today on Tuesday, June 23rd.
During the interview with Rebecca and Greg, Khalil who had played Lily Winters on-screen since August of 2002, nearly 24 years with the CBS soap, shared how early on her teenage acting career, she was ready to call it quits in show business, after a heartbreaking audition for the lead of a new Disney Channel sitcom, which later turned out to be the hit seres, That’s So Raven, starring Raven-Symoné which ran for four seasons from 2003-2007.
Christel recalled what happened. “I was 14 and I had always auditioned for all these Disney projects. So I auditioned for That’s So Raven, it was between me and Raven-Symoné and it was called at the time Absolutely Psychic,” explained Khalil. “The character was this girl who had psychic ability, but then when Raven got the role, they named the title of the show after her.”

HOW A BROTHERLY TALK CHANGED THE COURSE OF CHRISTEL’S CAREER
Reliving the disappointment to Greg and Rebecca, Christel explained, “I lost that part and I was just so devastated, because for the network call there were 20 people in the room watching me, and I just have always had such performance anxiety. I just completely bombed the audition and it was terrible. So, I was just devastated. I was actually going to quit acting and then I got the final call for The Young and The Restless and I wasn’t going to go.”
It was Khalil’s brother, who actually got her to reconsider, and if he hadn’t, we would not have our Lily Winters in Genoa City! Christel recounted, “I was like, ‘You know what? I’m done. I don’t want to do this anymore. I’m just going to hang out with my friends.’ I was just devastated. My brother, who is seven years older than me, and he had quit acting at the same age that I was at that time. He said to me, ‘I promise you, I actually really regret quitting. Just go on this audition and if you don’t get it, you can quit.'”
Christel’s screen-test for the role of Lily was actually with the late, great, Kristoff St. John who would play her father Neil (Later it was revealed to Lily, that Neil’s brother, Malcolm Winters was her bio-dad).

ACTING WAS EASY WITH THE LATE KRISTOFF ST. JOHN
“So, I went (to test for Lily) and I remember the screen-test was with Kristoff St. John. It was just so easy to act with him because he’s just so there. I remember just being on set, and that was my first time there for a screen-test where you were actually on set. I had never experienced that before. It was my first time being with an actor and having makeup done, which just helps you really be able to do your best work.”
Recalling the screen-test with the St. John, Khalil, “It was where I had to be emotional ( in the scene) and I always had issues being emotional at auditions. But I was there with him, it just came, and it happened. It was natural and I felt so good and it was amazing. It stands out in my mind a lot.”
You can check out the full Soapy conversation with Christel Khalil where she also discusses juggling motherhood, marital life, and the demands of soap operas.

If you have ever tuned-in to the soap opera genre over the last 50 years, and witnessed some of the greatest romances, drama, classic and outlandish storylines of all-time, you would have seen Deidre Hall smack dab in the middle of it as longtime Salem heroine, Dr. Marlena Evans.
It was 50 years on this date, June 21, 1976 that Hall first appeared on DAYS on NBC which was its home for 57 years before it moved to its current streaming platform on Peacock in September of 2022.
In Hall’s first episode she was introduced as a psychiatrist treating Mickey Horton (John Clarke) at Bayview Sanitarium after he suffered a complete mental breakdown. Mickey learned that his brother Bill Horton (Edward Mallory) was the biological son of Mike Horton (Wesley Eure) with his wife Laura (Susan Flannery) and that he had been lied to for years and years. From that moment on, the rest is television and soap opera history. Days of Our Lives put Hall front and center.

There were so many heartbreaking and shocking story twists involving the beloved Marlena. One of the first was the historic crib death of baby DJ (Don Jr.) in 1980, Marlena’s infant son with Don Craig (Jed Allan). The story had never been told on daytime television and Hall’s performances received accolades from TV critics to fans when Deidre received thousands of letters from grieving mothers who had gone through the same thing in their own lives.
DAYS also brought Deidre’s twin sister, Andrea Hall Lovell to the show as her on-screen sister Samantha, who had a grudge and even locked Marlena up in a sanitarium and took her place! Fast-forward and in 1982, DAYS launched the Salem Strangler story where everyone believed Marlena was his next victim, only it turned out to be Samatha. Jake Kositchek (played by Jack Coleman) was revealed to be the actual serial killer.
Later, Deidre would assume the role of Marlena’s look-alike, Hattie Adams in 2004, once played by her sister, Andrea. Over the years, Hattie has come back to Salem and caused trouble giving Hall a chance to play a different type of character, then the always upstanding Marlena.

THE LOVES OF MARLENA
Deidre Hall struck gold with all her leading men: from the late Jed Allan, to Wayne Northrop as Roman Brady, and of course, her enduring love story with the late John Black played by the iconic Drake Hogestyn. In fact, Marlena’s 1986 wedding to John (who was believed to be Roman at the time) remains a favorite of fans to this day.
TOP MARLENA STORYLINES OF ALL-TIME
While the list is long, here are several that were some of the memorable during Deidre’s five decades in Salem!
The Possession (1994- 1995)
Considered one of the most ambiguous, outlandish and unforgettable story arcs in soap opera history, then Days of Our Lives head writer, James Reilly went there! Marlena was possessed by the devil! That included; the demonic eyes, hissing at father John (Black) the priest, morphing into creatures, and the classic levitating in her bed! It became a cultural phenomenon and cemented Deidre Hall’s status as a daytime television legend. Just ask Ryan Gosling!

The Affair with John Black (1993)
John and Marlena’s forbidden love could not be denied and they had passionate affair, while she was still married to the real Roman. Problem was her daughter, Sami (Alison Sweeney) caught her mother having sex with John on a desk that changed Sami forever.
The Salem Stalker Mystery (2003-2004)
In a shocker, Marlena was revealed to be a serial killer who bumped off several Salem favorites residents who were all alive on the island of Melaswen (spelled “New Salem” backward). Turns out, she was manipulated and gaslighted by Andre DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) to do the “killings” and had no memory of her actions.
The Pier Scene (1991)
This remains Michael Fairman TV’s all-time favorite Deidre Hall moment, which featured some of the best acting in the storied careers of both Hall and Drake Hogestyn.
In the story, a presumed-dead Marlena returns after four years. One foggy night on the pier, John is alone, and Marlena steps out of the fog to reveal herself, and is reunited with the love of her life. You can watch it any year, any decade, and in any moment, and it will have you reaching for the hankies again and again. (best music score fo a soap scene of all-time too!)

Kristen’s Secret Room Reveal (1997)
Marlena was caught in Kristen Blake’s (Eileen Davidson) elaborate web of lies, when she was held hostage in a secret wine cellar/room until John managed to track her down, leading to an iconic on-screen reunion. The classic catfight between Hall and Eileen Davidson was one for the ages.
It should be noted that Maison Blanche, Queen of the Night, Possession, Aremid and Lady in a Cage were all a part of classic DAYS storyline and all featured Hall at the epicenter of it from 1993-1996.
THE RECENT YEARS OF MARLENA
In recent years, DAYS brought back the possession 2.0 storyline under then head writer Ron Carlivati in 2021 where the devil leapt back in Marlena after taking advantage of a frail Doug Williams (the late Bill Hayes)
In 2025, viewers watched the end of the love story of John and Marlena, as John succumbed to injuries sustained in an explosion saving a vial of medication needed to bring Bo (Peter Reckell) back to life. Marlena has been a widow on-screen since June of 2025 as Hall as portrayed the good doctor struggling with her grief and to move on with her life since his death.

One story that never goes away is Stefano DiMera’s (the late Joe Mascolo) obsession with Marlena, his “Queen of the Night.” Even in death, Stefano is toying with her from the great beyond with the mysterious chess set and the missing “pawn,” that he had gifted John and Marlena in his will. The mystery is currently unfolding on all-new episodes of Days of Our Lives.
Tune-in to Days of our Lives on the Monday, June 22 episode as Marlena looks back at her 50 years in Salem.
Share your congratulations to Deidre Hall for this incredible 50-year milestone as Dr. Marlena Evans on Days of Our Lives in the comment section. Then let us know, what is your all-time favorite storyline or moment in the life of Marlena over the past 5 decades? And, just for kicks, and to celebrate this amazing milestone, here is Marlena levitating below circa Christmas Eve 1994.

Oh boy (rolling eyes)!
Cane and Lily having another romantic episode. Between their getting a room at the club for some special anniversary or something to making out in the dining room — that’s all this couple does anymore.
I just want Devon and Hilary to explode. So tired of this predictable story line. It has dragged on far too long. They both are disgusting and should be ashamed of themselves. Hilary should just have taken the out that Neil gave her MONTHS ago … before she had carnal knowledge of her son-in-law, but nope, couldn’t do that. She had to go for the big A (adultery that is).
No no I just do not think Chelsea is right for Adam. Adam and Sharon loved each other so very much. I really hate how the writers keep making Sharon be so abused by the Newmans. It is a shame . Sharon is a kind women. Adam loved Sharon and Sharon loved Adam. Nick does not do right by Sharon. Team Shadam 🙂
Cane and Lilly must have excellent birth control!
Timmm, don’t you remember that Saint Lily’s Easter basket is out of eggs?!
You are great Chrystie and your right!
I will throw up is Chelsea is the person these writers put back with Adam!
Justin Hartley as Adam Newman needs Sharon Case as Sharon Newman on The Young and The Restless
Sharon and Adam were the best couple I wish the writers remember the love they had. Its Nick who left Sharon pregnant in a mental hospital while Sharon gave birth and became a victim and lost Faith and had to grieve yet another child all alone yet Nick gets custody ! This sucks !
Adam does not tell Chelsea who he really is because he does not trust her. BUT I know Sharon loves Adam enough to keep him safe and keep his secrete. Now the writers should know that history and know Sharon and Adam are a true super couple . Loved them inj the past and will again team Sharon forever! 🙂 Victor and Nikki are sick as hell. Lock them up with Phyllis
OF COURSE I WANT ADAM N CHELSEA ! AND JOE N AVERY WOULD BE GOOD,
OH PLEASE NO . Chelsea does not belong to Adam. The days of Sharon and Adam were the most romantic steamy loving tender. Nick can have anyone he wants but threatens Sharon by taking Faith away and yet he was the reason Faith was stolen leaving Sharon for Phyllis in a mental hospital and playing with Sharons emotions. Nick doesn’t deserve Sharons love. Why does Victor and Nikki and Phyllis always get free passes to do criminal acts and Sharon is the person who is never allowed to be happy
No! No! No not Sharon he belongs with Chelsea!!! What was romantic
About sleeping with EVERY male in his family? Sharon is a skank!
yeah, I agree…. i’m NOT surprised, any more, at what Victor and Nick get to do… therein no appeal
Sharon and Nikki doormat : i’m still waiting for the day when they get their chance at comeuppance
it’s like Nikki, “i’ve pretty much given up on you”
Sharon, Sharon, Sharon…. Your appeal everlasting : we’re patiently waiting
could this be back to that time… nuAdam and Sharon trigger takeover and reign AGAIN?
Awww..
Yhat was sicking lol
thing is; the couples pf Y&r are not sex not hot, they just aren’t..
Y&R is the most campy soap of them all..
Love triangles, love problems, love betrayals, love gone wrong, but no great sex anything..
Most know how all will end because it the same type of story over and over again..
It is sappy crappy campy of the utmost LOL ..
Of there were a campy award Y&r would get it lol..
There is exciting, thrilling, on the edge campy.. and that is definitely not Y&R
Y&R campy is sappy campy, no thrills no excitement..
The boyfriend or husband is always listening from behind the door or standing behind the cheater while on the phone with lover and hears all ”campy ..
cheating couple just getting into bed, husband with hand on doorknob about to open the door and catch them but not until tuesday LOL..
The cheaters love note falls out of the pocket or purse the husband is the one to find it..
cheating couple arranges a secret rondevu only to have the husband being sent to the sane place to see them kiss.. LOL
blind man watches son and his wife getting on LOL
ex husband and ex wife always reunite just before a wedding..
Girl kiss someones husband and at that very moment his wife is standing behind them in doorway..
Weddings that stopped by the true love who rushed to the altar to rescue his love..LOL
And the bitching women in a fight of.. she did it no she did no she did no she did it wasn’t me was her no not me her campy campy junk..
Y&R camp campiest soap in the world..
((I watch and FF most all but VIctor and his dirty deeds.. )) also have interest in Adam and his deeds and the outcome..
Campoy campy campy sappy campy LOL ..
GEEZ Su0000…pitch a tent and a light a campfire..LOL…but I have to say you really don’t get any sense at all of what’s coming up except a shirtless Adam opening to the door to Chelsea’s goofy looking surprise look…why make these little snippets of nothing?? I don’t get it.
Okaaaayyy,
Dylan and Avery make me sick; regardless with whom they are paired.
Ashley and Stitch is a gross thought to even entertain.
Joe is hot, but Avery is a dead fish.
Victoria has zero sex-appeal, albeit I like the character.
Devon and Hillary are so mismatched, it’s ridiculous. He looks 12. She looks USED.
Chelsea and NuBilly are unbelievably bland without personality. They just don’t have what it takes.
I would love Adam with Sage…she’s walking dynamite, and I sensed a definite hint of sexual tension between them. Please soap gods, let it happen. Chelsea is soooo boring. Sage has sex, sex, sex written all over her. I also see her with Nick. He is so hot, he looks good with anybody. However, he and Sharon had some of the best bedroom scenes ever….as did oldPhyllis with both Nick and Ronan.
Well, you asked for an opinion…you got it.
“Devon and Hillary are so mismatched, it’s ridiculous. He looks 12. She looks USED.”
Kind of like she was road hard and put away wet. I agree. Where is that cute Gwen?! Such a better personality compared to Hillary being so serious and mean looking all the time.
Y-o-u people , so many are too funny
blech and double blech on Devon…. he should not have been the first one/couple featured… it just brang everything down…. spiral
right at the top of the heap tho… gotta tell you…. simmering titillation abound with nuAdam : Justin Hartley
thank you CeeCee for bringing Up the sparks between Adam and Kelly Sullivan’ Sage. I hope for this couple to ignite and leave every one else as they orbit
good lawd… are Cane and Lilly THAT happy? LOL does Cane still potent charm to dance with any one else?
i’ve plugged enough about Stitch… he just rocks it for me… I’m not so sure… with Ashley… she makes him good… he’s the 2nd hottest lead … after nuAdam.
well… make that 3rd hottest… after nuAdam, and Joe
LOL… OK subject to change
have to agree with most…. the premiere of coming attractions just didn’t spark , didn’t move, didn’t go anywhere….
hotness factor… build around these people
Adam
Stitch
Joe
Ashley
Victoria… I wonder if she , the actress can step outside of herself and be animated bubbly joyous commanding… I say this cause I can see it… and i’ll front that Heather Tom isn’t not in Amelia Hienle league… HT’ not that good
kind of embarrassed themselves ?
cat on a hot tin roof : Chelsea
femme fetele : Phyllis
crap shoot toss up…. the show is not itself…. I HOPE for the best with Mr. Pratt
googled thee cast :
who should also be frontburner
Gloria and Ian : and yes, with Ted Shackelford’ Jeffrey Bardwell… in the mix… this is adult drama
ooh la LA : where is he hiding….
1. Chris McKenna : “Mark Harding” he just catapulted to #1
2. Ignacio Sericchio : ” Alex Chavez” he should be driving everyone wild
I LOVE Beth Maitland’ Traci Abbott Connelly…. a gem and always a Keeper
she brings so much nuance, pause and wonderment, I marvel at her work
Nina is always mentioned…. she’s beloved
OK… more trigger
Terrell Tilford : “Barton Shelby”
lastly and drool Lauren cache bumped him UP : Marco Dapper the man upped
LOL..HAHA, Chrystie.
This is the second or third time that Devon ‘gets down’ with one of Neil’s women. I can’t remember her name…but, she was gorgeous. She was Devon’s sister’s guardian who worked at Neil’s club, INDIGO….I think? I vaguely remember…I was still in College. Later.
100 percent agree!
@CeeCee –
I remember them doing it on the couch and then Devon had to beg Roxie to take him back. But yeah, I do not remember too much else.
Like when Alex in MR. MOM, while watching Y&R says “… is a skunk.” And that he “gets all the girls.” Then he says “He sure got Nikki.” Well, in this case, Devon is the skunk and he sure got Hillary.
Although I wanted Colin to be Jill’s knight in shining armor, I did like how Cane turned the tables on him with the Bonaventure business card. But I still don’t think Devon will learn from this. He is going to keep schtupping his mother-in-law.
Probably, Chrystie….that is, if the character Hillary will remain as part of the Y&R cast. I really think her days are numbered…LOL. Later.
I have two things to say–Sage is BLAND and totally has no sex appeal. Let her stay With Nick and FAR FAR away from Adam. He belongs with Chelsea
Hi,
Nice to meet you, Cecilia. Coincidentally, my name is Cecelia (CeeCee). I respect your opinion, albeit nuAdam and Chelsea have not sparked one iota of sexual tension. As I said, oldAdam had great chemistry with Chelsea, but he had better chemistry…rather, he had REMARKABLE chemistry with Sharon. This is a new Adam…the fire between him and Sage is getting hotter by the minute.
I would also like to point out that Justin’s real life girlfriend, CS, is MCE’s (Chelsea) best friend. I know they’re actors and they are playing a part, but it would be so weird for Melissa to be making out, etc. with her best friend’s guy.
Then again, it is a soap….anything can and will happen.
Love to see Adam and Sharon or Sharon and Dylan. Also Stitch and Ashley. Nick and Sage.. Chelsea and Billy. Avery with Joe.
Love to see Adam and Sharon or Sharon and Dylan. Also Stitch and Ashley. Nick and Sage.. Chelsea and Billy. Avery with Joe.
I’d prefer to see Avery paired with a one way ticket out of town — with Joe Clark and the sainted secret cult baby right behind her. The hottest pairing Genoa City could ever hope for would be Edward Scott and Kay Alden returning as executive producer and head writer to get this show back on track.
I’ve been singing this song for awhile now. Kay Alden has been with the show from the 70s and was trained by Bill Bell. Ed Scott added to the mix: you are so right– that is the HOT couple the show needs.
I refuse to comment on super couples on Y and R– you know, “if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.”
From the clip I dont see any mind blowing story arcs for a sweeps period? This is Charles Pratt’s first sweeps period, I hope he makes it a memorable one. If there are no bombs, boat crashes, building collapsing or coffee houses catching fire, here is what I suggest.
Avery: Sleep with Joe. He really wants you and will not bore you!
Ashley: Grab Victor by his arrogant balls and take him down!
Jack: Run for the hills!
NIck: Quit being an ass and let it go!
Sharon: Like NIck, find someone totally different to fall in love with.
Adam: Take up baking and borrow sugar from Chelsea everyday! Make your move and when Billy accuses you of not being who you say you are, tell him thats like the pot calling the kettle black because you are not Billy Miller!
I love all your comments especially the one about Billy Miller, I think General Hospital and Y & R should make a trade, bring Billy Miller back as Billy, and send Dylan back as Jason.
Loved the old Adam and loving the new one too .
So is Phyllis really crazy or is Kelly the crazy one? I think it is Kelly doing a job on Phyllis.
Thank you. Yeah, soaps should be like MLB where they trade players back and forth. I would take Michael Muhney back in a second BUT Justin Hartley is knocking it out of the park! [Sorry, I couldnt resis!]
I think you’re right, Karen. ……unless, the writers want us to think that it is Kelly, to steer us away from the truth? Afterall, her nose is into everything. Kelly seems to be way ahead of everyone else.
Also, she is just too sweet to Jack; offering him comfort for the stress he must be feeling. Blah, blah, blah. I liked her better as Dixie Cooney…LOL.
The writers could be doing a number on us…..
I believe Kelly is so delusional in thinking that Jack really wants her. This notion of hers reinforces my suspicion that she is, indeed, the culprit.
I think I would relish the fact that after all the physical and mental trauma ( let’s not forget emotional) Phyllis has/is experiencing, it would be such poetic justice if Kelly were the one off her rocker. She has been staging everything since she arrived in GC and mainly since Phyllis’s return. We did glean a little of her past…Stitch reminding Kelly of her breakdown in losing both her husband and child. Just a thought!
Its a good story. Kelly has never recovered from her past losses and then theres Jack who gave her hope and now that is gone. Red, she has been in a comma for a year and experimental drugs have brought her back to Jack. So either of these two could be nuts! If I were Jack I would dump them both and I might give Miss Martinez a look see!
I would like to see Dylan get a one way ticket back to Port Charles.
No thanks…i like Billy Miller better as Jason…
Well, it looks like you won. YnR lost with the latest Billy replacement.
Noooooo. Dylan can go straight into obscurity. Please, do not bring his doom and gloom back to PC….lol.
Sorry. You’re right. There’s more than enough doom & gloom there as it is.
@ jonboy. Thanks, but no thanks. I’m a longtime GH viewer/fan, and I don’t want Steve Burton back, I’m very pleased with Billy Miller. 🙂
Doom and gloom in Port Charles? You jest, sir ! LOL.
No, no, no…..we don’t want him back…really. BM is more than magnificent in the role of nuJason, thank you very much! But I’d be ever so grateful if you would reclaim one of your Genoa City strays that has so rudely squatted in Port Charles….that would be your former “Phyllis Summers,” now unfortunately known as “Nina Cray Clay.” Just yesterday we had the chance to see her sent on a permanent one-way trip to drug-induced obscurity, and alas, it didn’t happen. D@## writers…..
Oh, I hear you. Ya know, I enjoyed her for years on YnR and was a bit upset that she left. But, since I was still watching GH I was kind of okay with it bc I would still see her there. Well, I couldn’t get into that character. And I just did not like her in that character (another reason I have given up on GH). Now I totally like her replacement on YnR and don’t care if she ever comes back.
I am more than ready for a Chelsea/Adam reunion.
Avery and Dylan…hmmm, not really feeling them
much anymore. But Avery with Joe? No!
Y&R is very predictable;
Joe and Avery will sleep together and Dylan will go off the deep end..
And–
all the Y&R couple have no chem, no sex appeal, they are not sexy with or without each other, horribly dull couples ..
Deven and Hillery make me wanna barf, they are terrible and not at all sex nor hot..
Cane and Lily are a total bore and way over kill on forcing to be touchy sexy
Jill and collin are ridiculous
Billy has zero sex anything and he and Chelsea are terrible together, watching them trying to be sexy hot together also makes me wanna barf
Neil and Hillary are zero
Summer and Austin have as much sexual chem as my toe nail clippings
Christine and paul are mismatched..
(( My predictions–
Christine will lose the baby and blame Phyllis for it) that is the way Y&R writes.. Predictable..
Summer will be back with Kyle, eventually
Jack will be made a fool of from believing Kelly, the nut case
Neil will have a drink and struggle with his alcoholism
Colin will be found out and ousted from the family
Nikki killed Delia- she was not driving fast and she was not drunk
they will save her by writing that Nikki had a MS spell and does not recall she was simi passed out, or some such thing
Constance somehow is making Victor pay for killing her husband, by proxy, Sage.
Anyways; there is no ”heat” hot or sexy with Y&R couples, they are all sadly bad 🙂
You know, I did draw a blank as far as who are sexy couples lately.
No one I could think of.
Hilary and Devon had potential way back.
But now Hilary just walks around looking constipated,
due to her seemingly never-ending angst about her infidelity.
I do think Adam and Chelsea would be great, if we ever get
to see that. Hurry up!
So yeah, this soap needs to get more chemistry, and soon.
Well, su…Many women lose babies at that age. But, you’re right, Christine will blame Phyllis, albeit she brought it upon herself for the sake of revenge. ……bad karma.
I know we agree with our mutual dislike of certain protagonists, but I love Y&R. It is the first soap i watched. So, it never fails to reel me in….whether I’m bored with it at times or not.
You must admit it has gotten much better these last few months. Later.
“oh, NO!” is Christine pregnant?
Summer should just whither and fade
take victor with
Jack truth be told… looks age appropriate with Kelly than he does with new Phyllis
Neil should imbibe and feature his own act… who comes to his rescue ???? !!!!! CBS get with the program…. Victoria Rowell… returns as Drucilla and moneybags Genoa City…. milks Devon and purse snatches his 2 billion dollars and reigns supreme… Neil is still worth IT… he has SO GROWN in to his OWN
colin needs to go on a rampage…. Lilly is not all that… he’s known for so long now.. its tearing him up inside… fester lewd play GO!
Nikki didn’t kill delia… shes drinking and dusting off Victor and herself… and rotting near the exit
Constance needs to be a featured player… once nuAdam and Sage cement their belong and are with… dynasty regime
@su : going off of your prediction
* I thought Colin was Cane
Lol, Su. You feel about Y&R the way I feel about Sam(GH)….so, you will never have a positive outlook toward the soap…LOL. that’s ok. It’s how you feel. I still like you, su. Really!
Believe me, if I were in charge, the first thing I would do is give them all a bath in bleach……kill all the germs everyone collected over the years by sleeping in every bed in Genoa City. If that doesn’t work, I would fire everyone and start fresh….KIDDING, PEOPLE!!!!!
I am a true fan of Y&R come hail or high water…Honestly!!
Hi, Nanci.
Chelsea may have been the perfect fit for exAdam….unfortunately, not for nuAdam. Justin H. Is perfect for Sage. JMO.
No way-Sage is boring-boring-boring
Hi CeeCee, Ex-Adam will always be, in my opinion, the best
match for Chelsea, but Nu-Adam is great, too. Well, close enough, lol…
Sage? Something is off about her. She can do a mile-wide grin one
moment, then suddenly look harsh and almost sinister, like when threatening
Adam about how he better not screw up her inheritance, etc.
Not liking her at all.
You know, I’m actually starting to enjoy Y&R more and more. Aside from the Devon, Hilary and Neil triangle, I’m enjoying pretty much all of the other stories. I think Gina Tognoni is doing a great job as Phyllis so far, likewise for Justin Hartley who fits the role of Adam so well. I’m still not a fan of Burgess Jenkins at all, so hopefully they find a suitable recast.
As for Dylan/Avery/Joe, at least the writers are adding some interest to a story and characters that were really boring.
Stitch and Victoria are good together but I like Ashley and Stitch more, and I’m hoping that eventually, when Chelsea and Adam find their way back to each other, Vicky and Billy can do the same.
I’m also really pulling for Michael to beat this cancer, losing him would be another devastating blow to the show. Christian LeBlanc is gold, don’t lose him!
I’m also increasingly starting to like Sage and Nick more than Sharon and Nick, even though I’m sure they will always be the endgame, just like Phyllis and Jack always seem to find their way back to each other.
I also like the idea of Jill trying to take back Chancellor from Victor, I never agreed with the merger of Newman/Chancellor.
My hope for February is that Cane and Lily actually get a story that does not involve Devon/Hilary/Neil, and that the triangle be revealed and ended. Let Devon and Hilary leave Genoa City together, and please, bring back Dru for Neil! My dream would be for Victoria Rowell to return because she was FIRE in that role, but even if she can’t Y&R should go ahead and find a recast; they’ve done it before with Phyllis and Adam, and they’ve both been successes, they can do it again with Dru.
When Debbie Morgon was on…she shouldve played a recast Dru…
Do not count on Sharon and Nick being endgame, not with Pratt at the helm..
I’d bet Pratt could give a hoot about the lackluster or worn out characters..
He will shake it up and outside of that I do not know what he can do with the couples..
Y&R plays, the same 9 or 11 characters , daily..
day after day, week after week, month after month, the same 11 characters on screen-
all one can do is kill them off or recycle the couples for the 10th time..
Poor Pratt ..
LOL, Su. I think you’re right. Later.
to suOOO:
dude, if u detest the show and the characters so much , why do you watch? all you do is complain and write how you want the show destroyed! at the very least you certainly post alot for someone who supposedly doesnt enjoy the show.
go watch reruns of the LML days on youtube. thats when the show was at its lowest, i m sure you ll enjoy…
Yeah for Devon giving Jill the money for Chancellor and a double yeah for wanting Colin to have nothing to do with it
I ENJOY, NEIL/ HILARY/ DEVON!!!!
I love its classic soap quality! cant wait for the fallout! i want leslie back in the mix to pick up the pieces of neil s broken heart, and i want to see lily rip hilary a new one! can leslie bring back her bro tyler too!!! i miss them both!
victoria rowell doesnt deserve to come back because behind the scenes she was a shit disturber! leslie or hilary are more than competent replacements!
hi damien..
I do not ‘detest’ Y&R I am ‘disgusted’ with it..
It has become empty of what once made it great..
It has failed the past the year and has become terribly overly campy boring..
I do not dislike all the characters.. Mostly the horrible couples and I FF them..
I like Victor and his dealings and new Adam and Sage the players who have some umph to them and not snorers..
It is Sharon who I can not tolerate and want her killed off and eaten by cannibals..
Pratt will bring some action soon.. I am looking forward to his ideas and putting his stories on my screen.. He will stir things up during the next 3 months..
Is Joe Clark not going to be related to Matt Clark?? I hope they don’t miss this golden opportunity!!! SO much story potential there and to revisit history!!!
Hmmm, Richard. What a great storyline that would make….if these two could be linked to each other. Why else would TPTB re-introduce the name Clark? Coincidence?
I don’t think the current writers even know the Matt Clark storyline from 20 years ago! Nick, Sharon, Matt, Amy (right?) Great story because it was so multi-layered.
I want Gabe/Adam back with Chelsea.
I think Stitich has no chemistry with Victoria, and she and Billy need to get back together for their children, and because they are still in love
Stitch with Ashley are hot.
Let’s get on with Neal’s blindness and let Devon and Hilary get their life started.
Joe is going to sleep with Avery and piss a lot of people off and he will end up dead and there will be a murder mystery around this whole thing with Dylan, Victor, and Avery being the three lead suspects.
As for Stitch, he is a horrible character. He ruins scenes with everyone and if the put him with Ashley it will be a disaster!
Adam wants Chelsea back so for now its not worth getting our hopes up.
Kelly Sullivan as Sage is a powerhouse. GH let her go and she will shine so bright at Y&R. Her and Nick our a good couple but I could see down the road some sort of brotherly triangle between Nick and Adam involving either Sage or Sharon.
Wise and sound scenarios, Timmm, except, I don’t see Adam with Chelsea. As you say, for now, this is his mission…to get her back. But, eventually, Adam will come to the realization that what has kept him together; what has been a loyal devotee’ is Sage… True love…never wavering. What say you? LOL.
CeeCee, once he realizes how much of a pill Chelsea is he may rethink Sage and he may have to go through Nicholas to get her. She is ten times hotter than Chelsea. Sometimes it takes a anvil to hit you in the head to wake up and realize what is best for you has always been right in front of you.
I really want chealse to go back with her suppose to b dead husband.
I think that Joe is a hottie. Sharon needs to hook up with dylan. We need more romance on the show to keep me awake!!!!
ADAM AND CHELSEA FOR.SURE—-STITCH AND VICTORIA—DEVON AND HILLARY
Adam and Chelsea have to bee together—do not care for Sage-she can have Nick—Joe is so sexy and deserves someone that isn’t as upright as Avery.. Oh yeah love Marian and Kevin
So you get in a car crash you grow three inches become buff and have a horrible hair cut! Only in a soap opera!
Hi, k/kay…..you’re back !!!!! Welcome. Hope all is well with you.
My replies are at a standstill…since yesterday. I will wish you welcome back, again, k/kay. Later….hope all is ok .
I loved the song called killing Romeo on Tuesday’s episode. Look it up on YouTube.
Dylan and Avery, Adam and Chelsea, Victoria and Stitch, Devon and Hillary, Jack and Kelly. Ashley needs to go back to DOOL as Kristen, Joe and Billy can just leave town and Neil needs to find himself another woman. That’s it in a nut shell!
Sorry, I forgot about Nick and Sage and Kevin and Mariah.
@Mona. I agree,…Sharon is a skank, having slept with every Newman male. But, don’t all the characters fall under that same category?
Nikki slept with her son-in-law….they all get passed around left and right.
What I find pathetic is that these characters are portrayed as having no morals….no integrity. In other words; how does someone sleep with a man/woman who has slept with your father, your mother, your brother, your sister, your child? That is so icky….so lowest of the low.
The worst was when Adam sold his essence/soul to the devil by pretending to be attracted to Rafe and having sex with him. Not only did he abuse the idea of loving someone, but he disrespected and abased someone as good as Rafe, who fell for Adam’s lies, just to satisfy his sadistic and egotistical aspirations.
I truly hope Justin Hartley’s Adam is represented in a more positive light…..but, not with Chelsea….too much baggage. That’s not to say there is no baggage dragging behind Sage, but I feel a genuine attraction between them. I have been wrong many times before, though…LOL.
None of these players are characterized as people who respect their Basic human ethics; beliefs, or their body.
No harsh responses, friends….it is my opinion. Later.
One more thing I would love to see Sharon with Dylan. Maybe Nick the P—- could go back to the cookie maker.
Yeah, Nick has always been one of my faves. But, I must admit, I’m not liking him very much right now. He needs to come down his high Newman horse. I don’t understand how he could love someone so desperately, and then NOT, in a matter of hours. He should stop thinking about himself and start thinking about his kids.
Then again, he is his father’s son…omnipotent!
Didn’t like you telling Jack that Gabe was Adam and like Dylan the way his character is going and Devon.
Yes I always liked him too but they (writers) have turned Sharon into a wimp and Nick (the dude) into a mini Victor.
I want Chelsea to get back with Adam. The new Adam/Gabriel is so sexy! I’d dump Billy in a minute! haha. Avery should stay with Dylan. I just don’t like Joe.
Yeah, Avery should stay with Dylan…so boring. Besides, I don’t think Joe, the hunk, likes home-baked cookies.
I love the chemistry between adam and sage! I have since the beginning. I don’t want adam and chelsea together. Kelly Sullivan (sage) is way sexier for Justin Hartley (adam) who is also wicked sexy! They are a perfect match!! All of those subtle touches while filming that aren’t suppose to happen. Like for example when sage took adam out into the woods to help nick out of the bear trap and they were walking Justin Hartley (adam) was touching kelly Sullivan’s (sage) back and guiding her through the trees and everything. I loved when they first kissed too! That was amazing!! I hope the writers go with it! Adam will decide sage is a power house and want to be with her. There’s nothing between sage and nick. They are forcing those scenes way too much. Sage and Adam all the way!! (Kelly and Justin’s chemistry has shown since the beginning) like when adam comforted sage when Constance died. So sweet 😉 and how they’ve gone from hating each other to being kind and comforting in one scene. I really hope the writers put them together!! Love kelly and Justin as new editions to the young and the restless!!!
