THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Amanda Walks Out On Devon, Chance Walks Out On Abby
After walking in on Devon (Bryton James) and Abby (Melissa Ordway) quite cozy, making out, and naked on the couch, Amanda (Mishael Morgan) and Chance (Conner Floyd) react to seeing the betrayal by their significant others!
Chance walks out on the scene, as Abby goes chasing after him, while Amanda demands answers from Devon.
“Really, Devon? That’s what you want? The tall blonde? … Amanda goes off, while Devon can only say that he didn’t plan this, it just happened. Devon says he didn’t know Amanda was returning to genoa City. Next, Amanda tells Devon to put on the rest of his clothes as she throws them at him.
Devon inquires as to why Amanda came home early. After taking a drink to calm her nerves, she asks, “What does that matter?” Amanda informs Devon that Naya regained consciousness, but her recovery from the stroke is going much slower than doctors hoped. Devon says he is sorry, to which Amanda snaps back, “Is that why you were running around naked with Abby.” She adds that she is sorry too, because she’ll be spending a lot more time in Virginia. Amanda admits she came back to tell Devon in-person, because she felt she owed him that. Seething with betrayal, Amanda snipes to Devon, “Because you have been so incredibly patient!”
Meanwhile, Abby tracks down Chance at the Chancellor Mansion and tells him she doesn’t understand how this happened with Devon. Chase says he does. He has seen the bond between Abby and Devon for months. Chance adds, “This didn’t come out of nowhere … this was all oddly inevitable.” Knowing that Devon is Dominic’s biological father, just makes matters worse between the couple.
Abby adds that Devon is always there for her and Dominic and never tells her that work matters more. Chance told Abby he phoned her and left a message, which she realized she never listened to because she was making out with Devon. In it, he told her he wanted to make his marriage work. A disappointed and disillusioned Chance, shares that he wants to: make somebody happy, be able to be himself, and have that be enough for someone. Chance admits to Abby, “That’s not what we have. I think it’s time we face that reality.” A crushed Abby realizes Chance may be right, and before he leaves, he asks her to give him time and to respect that.
Back at the penthouse, as she gets ready to leave, Amanda tells Devon she has family who needs her now and it’s very clear he does not need her at all. She informs Devon she’ll send for the rest of her things. Devon professes his love her, but then Dominic starts crying. Amanda and Devon hear it on the walkie-talkie. Amanda tells him to go to his son and with that she storms out of Devon’s life for what might be forever.
Throughout the scenes, Mishael Morgan certainly reminded us all why she is a powerhouse and a Daytime Emmy-winner. This story also paved the way for another exit, since she has gone on recurring status with the show.
So, what did you think of the Chance/Abby, Devon/Amanda break-up scenes? Do you think these relationships are repairable? Would you be down for Devon and Abby as the end game? Let us know in the comment section. But first, check out Amanda’s goodbye to Devon below.
This Chance has never worked. No chemistry with anyone.
I don’t know, Shari. I mean, Abby had no chemistry with Stitch either. She’s not the warmest character. I agree Chance is on the dull side but he’s so cute and seems like a likeable fellow. I’m going to give him another chance (wow, how corny is that?) with someone new. I just hope it’s someone less emasculating than Abby. Imagine being interrogated by your partner for stopping for coffee after a long day at work…but, I’m glad that the paragon of virtue known as Devon has been exposed. Nate was right about him. He had the same “control” issues with his cousin (?) Anna when she was managing Fenmore’s brief singing career. How the mighty have fallen.
Devon was exposed alright!!!
I really like Conner Floyd s Chance. He seems cool and calm . The only good thing about the hook up was Amanda and Chance walking in on it and hopefully dumping those two duds on the couch. Hopefully Abby and Devon leave together, unbelievable how boring and basic those two are. Bryton and Melissa keep getting stories but the two are just a complete bore! After they were exposed I ffwd all the Abby and Devon scenes. It’s like torture
Agreed.
This Chance has grown on me, but it took a while as I think Abby had real chemistry with Donny Boaz – loved them together.
I’ve also liked Chance better recently when he’s been ‘out and about’ doing his job or interacting with other characters.
This seems to be a pattern with Devon. Not a smart move! Does he think he will be able to make Abby happy?? HA!!! I will.miss Mishael Morgan. They finally give her something to bite her teeth into – AT HER EXIT!!
I agree, Lew, particularly after her great scenes this week with Phyllis. It’s such a thrill seeing two great actresses at the top of their game creating such memorable scenes. I got the same charge watching the great Nicola Walker & Sarah Lancashire in LAST TANGO IN HALIFAX. Regarding Devon…I don’t know where the legend of his great moral purity got started but it’s as phony as that doll playing Dominic. He betrayed Neil with Hilary and constantly humiliated Anna when she was managing Fenmore. That’s why she left town. Then he got the ball rolling that sent Lily to prison for what was clearly an accident. St. Devon needs to be brought down a few pegs.
Lee, I was thinking the same thing about MM. I loved when she yelled at the hapless Devon, clad in his tiny, black briefs, “ Tall and blonde!!! Is that what you want!!!?” Boy, Devon sure knows how to trade down. Princess is a spoiled brat. In her so called apology speech to Chance, she sniveled and whined and basically blamed him for making her cheat on him. So to unwind after a hard day of work, he had the unmitigated gall to unwind in a coffee shop instead of rushing home to bow down at the alter of the princess and Little Lord Fauntleroy? The nerve.
Not true. Morgan won her Emmy on a Front Burner storyline. She is choosing to leave. The writers had to break them up. And at the end if the day, this tryst has been the most drama in quite some time. I hope Morgan will come back but she can do so much more. I wish her much success.
I disagree.This is the first time Morgan has had her own storyline as Amanda. Prior to this, she was either weeping about her mother, a woman viewers didn’t know or care about, or offering Devon support with his idiotic, egotistical custody fight. I’m glad she was given an exit storyline worthy of her acting chops.
Agreed, John—Abby and Devon are my least favorite characters. But, at least, the tedium was somewhat shaken. There has not been any stimulating scene, sexual or otherwise, on this show since forever, as boring as eating polenta.
Nonetheless, if it had been any other character combination, other than these two—-such as Chance and Phyllis? Ohh, Boy!! I do believe Phyllis would have awakened every dead nerve cell in his body.
I agree with many of the above comments—Abby is always complaining about something ( I’ve said this a few weeks ago)— a never satisfied kvetch —not very inspiring—and, nuChance doesn’t have a chance( sorry Soaphound—couldn’t help myself LOL) in Hades opposite Abby. She’s just an inconsolable crybaby, who has nothing else to worry about except what dress to wear.
Devon? The Great Pretender’s already dented halo is now in smithereens.
Wow’ is it just me, or is Victoria turning into a real cow? Watching the episode where she kicked Sally out of her office, I was disgustedwith what a nasty piece of work she’s become!
Yes she is
Victoria has never had to struggle to get where she is as her daddy fed her the CEO position with a silver spoon. She’s never had to scramble to make ends meet the way Sally has. She just casually fires both Sally and Chloe with nary a flickering of empathy and then becomes irate that Sally is still in her office packing up her belongings. I keep waiting for Victoria to receive her comeuppance but I don’t see that ever happening.
Oh Steven, she’s not just a cow but the bull as well. At least Victor would have a valid reason to fire someone. Victoria is just a vengeful shrew. And what’s worse, she has no valid axe to grind with Sally. And what about kicking Chloe to the curb when Kevin has helped Newman Enterprises on many occasions? Insider trading? “I’ll take my chances”, she purrs. No conscience, either! And on top of that, we’re continually told what a great mom she is. Please! She couldn’t keep a Venus fly trap alive. Now she’s making googoo eyes at Nate…more inappropriate behavior. I used to really like and admire her but now I dread every time she opens her trap.
Victoria is definitely the Ice Queen.
You obviously did not watch the original adult Victoria as played by Heather Tom. Her version of Victoria was just a surly, hostile, entitled b*tch, often for no reason at all. Granted, that is also how the character was written.
But Amelia Heinle is the longest running Victoria, and her natural warmth, grace and heart permeate the character even when she is not being nice. She shows the reasons for her actions often just with a look or with body language.
Her being tough in business is out of necessity … It is not just her being a b*tch. She has spent her life as a female in a male dominated business world. She has to be tough to survive. It is a tactic and a mechanism.
JJ
You know the saying.Fools Rush In, well here goes. You and Soaphound are both right in many ways. I remember Heather Tom as the totaly spoiled brat, Victoria who now lives to please daddy. She has more of something, lacking in a lot of men, but I think she is only admirable to a man. She actually reminds me of a much younger Jill, who did whatever it took to get what she wanted, but didn’t have a daddy for props. Victoria goes after what she wants with a vengeance and as Soaphound said, no conscience. It’s like the worst she does, the better she feels. Wait until she finds out what Billy’s been doing to help Chelsea, you know there will be no sympathy or empathy offered there, just some hurtful, sarcastic remark.
JJ — 2 things: (1) Yes I did see Heather Tom’s Victoria since I’ve been a viewer since 1973. So the condescension is misplaced on me. (2) I don’t use or attach the “b” word to anyone; my whole point is that being “tough” is not my issue with Victoria. It’s her being unfair, judgmental, and too easily swayed when HER feelings are involved. There’s no defensible reason to fire Sally or Chloe other than a personal dislike and/or vendetta. That’s poor behavior for ANY CEO. If I were Sally, I’d bring a harassment suit on Newman and wrongful termination, assuming she was past her probationary period. They never even MENTIONED a severance package…That’s not tough…it’s just petty and mean. But I agree Amelia is wonderful in the role and she’s always praiseworthy.
Soaphound I will say it, Victoria is a bitch! She hasn’t been somewhat bearable, since she fell.in love with Ashland, while played by Richard Burgi. She will use Nate, until she has no further use of him. The job comes with a price!!
Be that as it may, JJ, the character ( Victoria/Heinle) has made a complete reversal. This is not the Victoria I remember. Y&R has always been my No.1 soap and I was so glad Heather left. Amelia was a breath of fresh air—I would run up to my dorm between classes just to watch the show….I wasn’t going to wait to watch the recording, LOL.
My point is–Victoria has changed drastically and dramatically. Being tough is one thing; becoming manipulative and devious by using under-the-counter tactics is not what I would have expected. She’s become so cold and unfeeling towards others. Her machinations turn me off. Methinks, the town idiot, Nate, will be caught within Black Widow’s web. He will become her henchman—–she now operates without regrets or qualms. As I said earlier, she is now the female replica of her father’s “kingly” treacherous and controlling persona—–“Ice Ice Baby”—The Ice Princess!!
Yes—Heinle’s acting skills are phenominal. The show needed this new twist—we’re talking about it—it’s a good thing.
Heinly came a long way from playing Mia on AMC–I can’t remember the exact year, but I was still in High School at the time.
Yup. Steven Ryan—I think we all saw this transformation coming—-now that Daddy Dear is aging and possibly retiring ( both the character and the actor), someone must inherit the reins. Obviously, Nick is simply too meek, for lack of a better word—-not aggressive or devious enough to walk in Satan’s shoes—or does the Devil wear boots?
I think that besides what I just opined, Victoria has become jaded—perhaps the impenetrable, harsh façade she seems to display, is in her genes—-Or, due to several marital hardships she has had to endure.
I’m not liking this side of her—she will soon start walking with her nose way up there, in the air, like her mother, who, btw, comes from the street ( pun not intended).
Dear Celia, some of my best YR memories are about Miss Nikki’s “origins”, which I wouldn’t care about except for her increasingly obnoxious haughtiness. I’ll always treasure these tropes from Victor: “You were nothing but a pole strippah! I picked you up from the guttah! Dancing for men on a pole. Now I can’t stahnd you!” Good times.
Yes, I’ve heard all about Nikki’s early days on Y&R from my grandmother–“Cheeky” is what she called her.. LOL
I love your style of writing—it reminds me of Shay—always to the point. I wish….I go on and on—I remember being told by my English teacher to be concise—She kept assigning short stories where I would have to write one précis after another.
Ciao bella…
Abby has NO chemistry with any male character…Keep Chance in town and have Abby leave she can go to her home in Paris
Devon Is sooooooo boring
Could never figure out what beautiful Amanda ever saw in him.
General Hospital
Could Kristen Vaganos and Josh Kelly Be Exiting ‘General Hospital?’

General Hospital fans took to social media following the airing of the Wednesday, October 21 episode of the ABC daytime drama series. In story, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) reveals to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) that she has received an offer to join the top law firm in Chicago that practices civil law. She says it’s her dream job.
The problem Molly says is relocating from Port Charles and uprooting her life and being away from her mother, Scout and boyfriend Cody Bell (Josh Kelly). Wistful that she may lose another daughter to a long-distance situation (Kristina left a few months back to go to medical school in California), Alexis urged Molly to get Cody to go with her.
Molly still seemed concerned and has trouble committing to the idea. Alexis tells her to talk it over with Cody. Meanwhile, Cody asked Tracy (Jane Elliot) is he can have Thanksgiving off because he and Molly planned to spend Thanksgiving together with their families. After initially balking, Tracy agrees.

WILL MOLLY AND CODY HEAD TO CHI-TOWN?
Later, Cody shows up at Miller & Davis and the conversation turned to Thanksgiving dinner that Alexis is hosting. Molly and Cody asked her not to cook anything. Cody hugged Molly reassuring Alexis that he and Molly would take care of whatever was needed on Turkey Day.
So, this raises the question, why out of nowhere are we learning that Molly received an amazing law offer in Chicago, if the character was not being written out? If Molly leaves the canvas, would the character of Cody make his exit too?
Kristen Vaganos joined GH as a recast Molly Lansing-Davis back in September of 2023 and went on contract in August of 2024. Josh Kelly began playing Cody Bell back in June of 2022. Initial reports were that Kelly joined the show on contract and then as of June 2025 went on recurring status with the show per his choice.
Do you see a world where GH is writing out Molly and Cody? Would you be sad to see Kristen and Josh exit the soap opera? If this is not what is going on, is this just a plot point for some other story that is upcoming? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Adam Delivers Sally’s Baby as Billy Reels from Jill’s Health Crisis in Tearjerker Episode

The Tuesday, October 20 episode saw The Young and the Restless deliver some deeply-poignant moments in the aftermath of Billy (Jason Thompson) and Sally’s (Courtney Hope) wedding.
The scenes which will be talked about for some time to come, because of how they can impact longterm story, had Adam (Mark Grossman) being the one to deliver Billy and Sally’s baby, while Billy was gut-punched by a phone call from Snapper Foster that Jill had suffered a heart attack in London.
In story, while up in Sally’s room at the GCAC, wishing his ex all the happiness, (because Adam and Billy have no love lost, and he didn’t want to cause waves), Sally’s water broke. In true soapy fashion, all phones were dead. Sally’s phone was missing because it was with Audra (Zuleyka Silver), Adam’s battery ran out etc. Prior to that, Adam did try to call Billy, but Billy did not pick up his calls, as he was with Cane (Billy Flynn) coming to terms with the news on Jill.

TORN BETWEEN RUNNING TO HIS MOTHER OR HIS NEW WIFE AND BABY
Now in the perfect storm of circumstances, Adam is the one to help Sally deliver her baby when she begged him to stay with er screaming, “Please don’t make me do this alone!” Adam reminded Sally that he’d already delivered a baby twice before. She assured him that it will be OK, and not to be scared, because this isn’t the same set of circumstances when she lost their daughter, Ava, during childbirth.
Downstairs, Billy is in tears over his mother. So too is Cane. Cane speaks to Jill on the phone when Snapper holds the phone to her while at her hospital bed. He tells her he loves her. Billy cannot bring himself to talk to his mom.
Cane decides he will go to London. Billy doesn’t know what to do with a new wife and a baby on the way. It’s clear how much losing Jill would devastate Billy. Cane tells Lily (Christel Khalil) what has happened to Jill, and Billy informs Jack (Peter Bergman) before he tries to find his bride who is upstairs in her room.

A NEW ABBOTT
Back in Sally’s room, eventually Adam asks Sally (who is deep in labor), if she thought she was having a girl or boy, and she said a boy. But then, Adam introduced her to her “beautiful, perfect baby girl.” It was a moment laced with so much history for Adam and Sally and Adam and Billy, when you think of the deaths of Ava and Deliah.
As Sally cradled her newborn little bundle of joy, Adam went to go get Billy at her request, and as he made his way to the door, Billy was standing there. Billy is stunned to see his rival standing, but then Sally tells Billy to meet his daughter!
Billy rushes to the bedside to be my his new wife and daughter, with the heartbreaking final shot of Adam emotionally overcome thinking of the baby he has lost with Sally. and how he wishes things could have turned out differently in a bittersweet moment.

EMOTIONAL PERFORMANCES
The episode was laced with hankie-inducing moments from Jason Thompson, Courtney Hope, Mark Grossman and Billy Flynn, who each delivered, to bring this story so much heart and history. There is plenty of Emmy material within for next year for these four.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Finn Blows a Gasket After Steffy Reveals She’s Gone Ahead and Become Carter and Daphne’s Surrogate

On the Monday, October 19 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, after Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) stammering around and trying to find a way to couch her lie to her husband, Finn (Tanner Novlan), she finally admits what she has been dreading telling him.
But not before, Finn and Steffy rehash Monaco, Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown), and how it was turning point in their lives (that’s an understatement) with Finn reiterating, “Our marriage is precious. What we have is pure and true.”
Finn promises Sheila is out of their lives for good, and Steffy chokes back tears saying how she wished she hadn’t removed her ring and hightailed it out of Monaco. She says she wishes she could take that back, but she can’t.

Courtesy/CBS
Steffy tells Finn she has a lot to say. Finn tells her there is nothing they can’t overcome. Steffy says she made a significant decision while he was away. She goes to to say what a great friend Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) has been to her. Finn asks if Daphne and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) are still interviewing to find a surrogate? Steffy says they found someone and the process has begun, and its “me.”
Finn gulps, “What do you mean it’s you?” Steffy eeks out of her mouth, “I agreed to be Daphne and Carter’s surrogate.” Finn, who is a doctor no less says, “I don’t understand!” He explains he knows there is a list of medical and legal hurdles someone has to go through before a woman can become a surrogate for a couple. He also tells Steffy he knows she could never carry a child and give it up.
Next, Finn tells Steffy she’s wonderful for considering to do this for Carter and Daphne, but she’ll have to tell them no. Steffy says it’s too late. That while he was out of town they went ahead with the procedure. Finn asks, “What procedure?” Steffy responds, “The fertilization of the eggs.” Finn learns they used Steffy’s frozen eggs and did the implantation and loses it!
“I can’t believe you went and did that! This isn’t something a wife does when their husband is out of town on a business trip,” hollers Finn. He cannot believe what he is hearing and that his wife just went and did this without him! He pushes back on Steffy. demanding answers, “There’s more going on here. What is it? Steffy? Tell me!” We fade to black.
You can check out the pivotal scene between Finn and Steffy below.
Now weigh-in: are you glad Finn is as of now not being a doofus? That he is pushy back on Steffy? Do you think Steffy will continue with this lie or admit she slept with Carter and became pregnant? Either way, would Finn stay with his wife while she became a surrogate for Carter and Daphne? Let us know in the comment section.
