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: Has Dylan’s Mystery Caller/Stalker Been Revealed to Be an Alive Luna Nozawa?
We have another scream machine on her hands at The Bold and the Beautiful after the dramatic ending of the May 1 episode, and that would be Dylan (Sydney Bullock)!
B&B is finally making some headway on just who was the person behind the mystery call that Dylan received telling her they have some “unfinished business.” At the time of the mysterious call, it was clear that the voice was altered to disguise the true identify of the person on the the other line.
On today’s show, after Dylan and Electra (Laneya Grace) exchange words in the wardrobe room about Dylan wanting to rebuild their trust and friendship and how Electra has issues stemming from way back trusting anyone after what Remy (Christian Weissmanm) did to her by befriending her and then plastering deep fake nude photos of her across social media.

The timing of Electra bringing up Remy is also interesting to us, as we had previously reported now that Christian Weissmann is back and on on contract with The Bold and the Beautiful, he’s already teased that Remy has another connection to someone on the canvas, which many are still believing its Dylan.
At the end of the episode, after Electra leaves the room, Dylan hears noises coming from behind the dress rack. She asks, “Jamie” is that with you? After no answer and a bit more hangar and dress ruffling, a figure steps out behind it, while Dylan is looking down at her tablet trying to get back to work.
When Dylan looks up, she lets out a scream that could be heard to Nebraska, as viewers see partial view of what looks to be a woman with long dark hair from the back. Dylan in shock, says, “It’s you!” We fade to black.
So, what’s going on here? Is the reason the caller said to her that we have “unfinished business” because on Monday, it will be revealed to actually be an alive and well, Luna (Lisa Yamada)? Did the two strikes some sort of deal, that allowed Dylan to help Luna escape after Luna supposedly died after Dylan ran her down with her car, which was all off-screen? Another theory, is the mystery caller is Remy and he is doing some sort of Luna fakeout on Dylan for a yet to be revealed reason.
What do you think is going on? Did Lisa Yamada just make an on-screen return to The Bold and the Beautiful? Share your thoughts and theories below, but first check out our recent interview from back in March on the Michael Fairman Channel when Lisa who attended the BBTV app launch party.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Nick Confesses His Drug Problem to Victor; Joshua Morrow, Mark Grossman, Eric Braeden Bring the Newman Bond
When The Young and the Restless can deliver an emotional side to their stories and their family dynamics, it usually makes for some great scenes delivered by their A-list cast.
Such was the case on the Friday, May 1 episode when Adam (Mark Grossman) and Nick (Joshua Morrow) returned to Genoa City and gave their father, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), an update on what had gone down with Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) in Las Vegas.
As Victor questioned, “What the hell happened?” Nick piped up, “We both made mistakes along the way, but we’re here now and we’re sorry for giving you so much worry on top of everything else that you’re dealing with,” which was in reference to Victor trying to reclaim his company Newman Enterprises et al.

NICK’S CONFESSION
Next, Nick, explains one of the ways he messed up while trying to go after Matt Clark, when he admitted to this father with tears in his eyes, “That’s one of the ways I messed up … I took Fentanyl willingly. Some of it was because of Matt, but most of it was on me. I was in a lot of pain, dad, after my accident, I was burning through my prescription meds really quickly after I left the hospital. I could see that it was becoming a problem. But honestly, I thought that I could manage it. I was wrong. I was out in LA and Matt had taken Noah (Lucas Adams) and Sienna (Tamara Braun) and he gave me this bag of pills and said I could use it to trade for information. When I went out to that drug warehouse, he was trying to convince me and Sharon (Sharon Case) that Noah was a drug addict. I just put the pills in my pocket of my jacket and I came back to Genoa City and I was in a lot of pain, dad, and I was wearing that jacket. I put my hands in the pocket and the pills were there.”
Nick sadly added, “I was desperate. I couldn’t get anymore prescription meds, so I took the fentanyl I’m deeply ashamed that I was so weak, but all I can do is stand here and tell you the truth that I’m going to make this right and I’ll get better.”
BROTHER TO BROTHER
Adam stood up for his brother and reconfirmed to Victor the plan for help Nick through his pill addiction, “Nick is already on his way to doing that. Sharon has set up an appointment with an outpatient facility. He’s going to do the meetings and he’s going to push through this better than ever.”

Courtesy/CBS
“You should also know that the only reason I’m standing here is because of Adam,” Nick confessed to Victor. “Every time I fell, you were there to pick me up. You risked your life to save me, and that’s not something I will ever forget.”
In the climatic and emotional ending of the scene, Nick in tears admits his shame to his dad, who comes in to give him hug. Nick says, “I’m so sorry. I know that this is the last thing you or this family needs.”
All three actors, Joshua Morrow, Mark Grossman and Eric Braeden, were excellent in this exchange in their scenes, but at its epicenter continues to be the Emmy-worthy performances by Y&R MVP, Joshua Morrow. Nick’s heartbreaking journey and fall from grace with his pill addiction problem has finally shown the clinks in the armor of the man who is always on the ready to help others … now he needs to let others help him through this. Can we do it?
So, what did you think of the scenes between the Newman man featuring Joshua, Mark and Eric on the Friday episode of Y&R? And though who watched also know that at the very end, Matt Clark who clearly has been injured wakes up from being conked out, so there is more revenge to come on the Newman clan. Share your thoughts below, but take a look at these scenes from a Canadian viewers who saw them air yesterday.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Sophia Seemingly Plans to End Her Life, But Not Before Setting Fire to Johnny’s Apartment With Him Trapped Inside
The final few moments of the Thursday, April 30 episode of Days of our Lives, will pave the way, to what just may be the end of Sophia Choi’s (Rachel Boyd) life, but not as you may think!
After an unhinged Sophia paid a visit to Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), maced him in the eyes, knocked him out and then tied up to a chair, now conscious, she lets him know that she holds him responsible for all the trouble and trauma she has gone through from adopting her child, and her being sent to a mental institution.
So instead of the unregistered gun Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) gave her to finish off Johnny, Sophia sets up a plan to light candle, use nail polish remover and turn on the gas on the stove to ultimately create a mass explosion, which although Johnny pleaded to her not to that to all the innocent people inside his apartment building, she doesn’t seem to care.

FIERY FACE OFF
The plan was supposed to be, after she takes care of Johnny she will toss the gun in the Salem River, then focus on payback to Holly Jonas before leaving town to start a new life.
Now, Sophia makes her exit, leaving Johnny to be a few moments away from an explosion or gas inhalation, when Chanel (Raven Bowens) comes home after awaiting the results of her mammogram. She sees Johnny tied up, as he panics and tells her to put out the flame on the candle, things go awry, and a fire has begun and everything may go up in flames with Johnny and Chanel inside.

A BROKEN SOPHIA
Back in her room, Sophia breaks down after reading the social media comments about her, she planted, and then starts writing a suicide or farewell note which says. “I’m tired of begging for forgiveness for my mistakes. All I wanted was to move forward, to be loved and understood. But it’s clear that I was never going to get that. Holly Jonas said that I was dead to her. So, as her former BFF, I’m going to make her dream a reality.”

A DEADLY TRAP
Now, the fate of Johnny, Chanel and Sophia will be revealed on tomorrow’s May 1st cliffhanger, which may be the end of Sophia when she crosses paths with Kirsten at the bridge near the river. We do know Rachel Boyd is no longer appearing in the show credits section and is now off contract with the soap.
So, what did you think of the climatic final moments of DAYS? What did you think of the performance of Rachel Boyd as Sophia Choi? Let us know via the comment section.
