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.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Steffy Tells Carter She’s Pregnant, But He Has a Way ‘Out of This Situation For All of Us’
After taking a second pregnancy test on the Friday, September 12 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) freaks out ever more when it come back positive, too. Leading her to shriek, multiple times over, “Oh my God! Oh my God! I’m pregnant!”
As previously reported, CBS and The Bold and the Beautiful have already confirmed that in the story, the baby Steffy is carrying is Carter’s (Lawrence Saint-Victor) which kicks-off their 40th season of storytelling. However, could there be a twist down the line that it’s really Finn’s (Tanner Novlan)?
On Friday’s episode, Carter gets a text from his wife, Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) telling him she wants to talk more about surrogacy later, since she cannot carry Carter’s child, and the couple was exploring ways for them to have a baby. Suddenly, Carter flashes back to waking up next to Steffy on the couch in the office after they had sex the night before in their drunken stupor.

CARTER DEVISES A PLAN
Then, Steffy comes whirling into the office demanding to talk to Carter right away. Steffy is informing Carter that she has to tell Finn about their night together more than ever! A confused Carter asked her what changed, when they agreed to keep their one night together a secret? Carter tells her if she reveals what happened between them, it will tear about all of their lives.
Carter thinks nothing will come of their “mistake” if they keep their mouth shut. Steffy responds, “You’re wrong.” She goes on to explain that she’s pregnant! That declaration stuns Carter and we fade to black.
However, it was the preview for the action next week on The Bold and the Beautiful, that aired at the end of Friday’s episode and is now all over B&B’s social media that is the real tell-tale sign of where this story is heading.
B&B SPOILERS
In a scene airing next week, Carter says to Steffy, “I have a way out of the situation for all of us!” This comes on the heels of Daphne telling Carter she wishes she knew someone who would be their surrogate. So, putting two and two together, it looks like Carter will come up with the idea to pass Steffy and his baby off as the surrogate child of Carter and Daphne.
Look no further than the official B&B spoilers for episodes airing Monday, September 14- Friday, September 18 and the teaser lines of the Steffy/Carter baby drama to back that up below.
Monday, September 14, Steffy’s news complicates things even more with Carter, while on Tuesday, September 15, 2026 Daphne is hopeful she and Carter will be able to find a surrogate and Carter rushes to stop Steffy. On Wednesday, September 16, Carter makes a passionate plea. and by Thursday, September 17, Daphne can’t believe Carter’s suggestion. Then come Cliffhanger Friday, September 18, Steffy is caught off guard.
So, what do you think how it look to be Carter who originated plan to keep the truth from ever coming out, that he and Steffy had sex, and the best way to do this is for Steffy to be the surrogate for Carter and Daphne’s child? How complicated will the cover-up eventually get? Will Steffy fall in love with the baby making this whole thing untenable for her? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section, but first check out B&B’s video teaser for next week’e episodes below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Reach an Impasse; Is This the End of Their Relationship?
On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.
Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.
However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON
Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.
He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.
Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”
General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”
So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.
On today’s Thursday, September 10 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) discovers she’s pregnant, after taking a home pregnancy test, that will launch a new story arc that will remain front and center for the show in the months ahead.
The life-changing story kicks off the B&B’s 40th season which officially began on September 8. In it, Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) is the biological father of Steffy’s unborn child from their drunken night together when both endured turbulent times in their marriages.
Previously, Carter had trouble with Daphne (Murielle Hilaire), when she initially walked out on him, because she could not carrying his child. Meanwhile, Steffy broke up with Finn (Tanner Novlan) while in Monaco over Finn’s mother Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) showing up, who once tried to kill her.
Courtesy/CBS
Fast-forward, Carter and Steffy made a pact that no one will ever need to know about their drunken night together, but now with Steffy becoming pregnant it changes everything. Making matters all the worse, Daphne views Steffy as her best friend, in fact, Daphne and Carter have been talking about having a child via surrogacy. While Finn had showed the couple how to start the process of finding a surrogate, Daphne felt just choosing a random person to carry Carter’s child is so impersonal. She would rather have it be someone she knows.
It does not take a scientist to predict … that somehow Steffy will carry the baby pretending to be the surrogate, when she its biological mother, and along the way, the questions become, does she keep the whole thing somehow a secret to herself? Doe Carter find out at some point? Stay tuned to see how this story reveals itself.
At its root, this is a major storyline for Wood, who has already won three Daytime Emmy Lead Actress Awards in her 18 years with The Bold and the Beautiful. In that time, her character of Steffy has experienced multiple pregnancies, given birth to two children, Kelly with Liam (Scott Clifton) as the father, and Hayes with Finn as the father, and endured a miscarriage.
So, what did you think of Steffy getting confirmation she is pregnant and looking mortified when she found out? What will she do next? Will she tell Carter? Will Daphne come to Steffy to ask her to be her surrogate, which Steffy may think will be the answers to her prayers, only for the truth to come out later, or falling in love with the baby since its hers to be begin with? Share your thoughts and theories for this major story for Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, via the comment section.
