THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Are The Santoris Behind The Kidnapping Of Adam Newman?
Courtesy/CBS
This week after Victor (Eric Braeden) sent Adam (Justin Hartley) overseas on an urgent business matter, he ends up kidnapped and thrown in an elevator right outside his own penthouse!
Late, Victor learns Adam did not get on the Newman jet or check into his desigated hotel in Spain.
Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) is unglued and believes something terrible had happened to Adam! All signs look that Adam’s disappearance may be tied to the Santoris and that Luca (Miles Gaston Villenueva) has double-crossed the Newmans. But Luca may actually not have known, or did he?
Is this an all out power struggle between the waring Santori and Newman clans … or, is something else going on here? After the jump, watch next week’s promo from CBS Daytime and then weigh-in via the comment section below!

‘General Hospital’s’ Steve Burton Shares Reaction to His Lead Actor Daytime Emmy Nomination, ‘It Was to Honor Leslie Charleson’
The 53rd Annual Daytime Emmy Award nominations kicked-off on Monday with the announcements of four major categories including, Outstanding Lead Performer in a Daytime Drama Series — Actor, and among the nominees is General Hospital’s Steve Burton (Jason Morgan).
Burton is already a two-time Daytime Emmy winner in the Supporting Actor category for his roles as GH’s Jason and his turn as Dylan McAvoy on Y&R. However, Steve is yet to win in the Lead Actor category and he has received 11 nominations along the way in his daytime career.
Following the reveal that he is a 2026 Daytime Emmy nominee, he and his GH co-star, podcast co-host and comedy show partner, Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) taped a special edition of their That’s Awesome podcast just featuring Burton’s reaction to the news.

FOR LESLIE CHARLESON
Steve expressed, “I know it’s such a cliche to say, ‘I’m just so honored to be nominated.’ But truly, I’m so grateful to be nominated, so grateful to just be on the show off and on for 30 plus years and to be nominated with the guys in my category. Just to get the opportunity. Frank (Valentini, executive producer, GH) texted me right away. I was just like, ‘Thank you for the opportunity to get to do what I do.'”
Taking in the moment, Burton thanked those who helped him select the material for his nominated reel. “Unless you win, you don’t get to say things. So. I’m going just say a few things: Elizabeth Korte (co-head writer, GH) helped me a lot with the material, (as did) Michelle Henry, who’s a producer on the show, Laura Wright (Carly, GH), and then my wife Michelle (Lundstrom). I believe it was Jill Phelps who told me that when A Martinez felt like he had a great show or great scenes, he would mark it down. So, when Emmy time comes, you have all the show numbers written down, and you don’t have to think about it, because that’s half the battle (finding the material).
Burton explained how meaningful this nomination is for him, because of playing the scenes of Jason losing Monica, and his closeness with the late, great Leslie Charleson.
“The nomination’s an amazing thing, and it’s beautiful, but really it’s to honor Leslie Charleson. A lot of my material was because of her, and how I started on the show as a Quartermaine, it just means a ton,” shared Burton. “Maurice Benard (Sonny, GH) has obviously has been instrumental, and I’ve said it from day one and I’ll shout it from the rooftops. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be here, and to be working with the people that we work with is incredible.”

SHOULD JOHN OLIVER BE NAMED HOST OF THE DAYTIME EMMYS?
During the end of his conversation with Anderson, Steve suggested that the host of the Daytime Emmy should be Last Week Tonight’s John Oliver, who recently guest starred as the head of the WSB named Z on General Hospital, and is soon to show up on Days of Our Lives in a mystery role in August.
Thus far, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has not revealed their host for the upcoming ceremony to be held on October 30 in a venue to be named in Hollywood, California.
You can watch Steve sharing his reaction to receiving his 2026 Lead Actor Daytime Emmy nomination below on a special segment on the That’s Awesome podcast.
Now let us know, are you glad that Steve chose scenes surrounding Jason mourning the loss of the woman that raised him, Monica Quartermaine for his Emmy reel? What do you think of John Oliver as a suggestion to host the Daytime Emmys? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
Monday on Entertainment Tonight, the second set of nominations for the 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards were announced which included the highly-coveted Outstanding Lead Performance in a Daytime Drama Series – Actress and Outstanding Daytime Talk Series.
ET followed suit after Extra announced the nominees, as previously reported, in the Outstanding Lead Performance in a Daytime Drama Series – Actor and Outstanding Daytime Talk Host.
Now, five leading ladies of the soaps are vying for the gold for Lead Actress and the category marked the first-ever nominations for CBS daytime’s Beyond the Gates when two actresses made the final cut. Only General Hospital is not represented among the actresses this year after Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) took home the trophy last year.

‘General Hospital’ Marks Unprecedented 16,000th Episode Milestone with New Cast Photo
Today’s Monday, July 13 episode of General Hospital marks it 16,000 episode to air on the ABC television network. It is a remarkable milestone. The previous television record was held by Guiding Light which clocked in at 15,762 episodes before it went off the air on CBS in 2009.
To mark the occasion, the cast, crew and creative team of General Hospital celebrated with a cake-cutting ceremony on the Prospect Studios lot in Los Angeles back on Monday, June 1, 2026.
In addition, GH has released a new cast photo taken the day of the on set celebration. Pictured in the photo are front row: Rory Gibson, Finn Carr, Kayden Brenna Tokarski, Asher Antonyzyn, Giovanni Mazza, Braedyn Bruner, Dean Geyer and Nathan Dean.
Featured in the back row are: Tabyana Ali, Eden McCoy, Josh Swickard, Kristen Vaganos, Rebecca Herbst, Dominic Zamprogna, Alexa Havins, Cameron Mathison, Brooke Kerr, Cynthia Watros, Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Jane Elliot, Maurice Benard, Laura Wright, Maura West, Donnell Turner, Nancy Lee Grahn, Tanisha Harper, Kelly Thiebaud, Kristina Wagner, Lynn Herring, Chris McKenna, Katelyn MacMullen and Sawandi Wilson.
In addition, the official GH social media handles shared these sentiments along with some other photos from the cake cutting: “Today’s episode of General Hospital is the 16,000th produced since the show’s inception in 1963. It’s a milestone we couldn’t let pass by without taking some time to celebrate as a family (and, of course… eating some cake). 🍰 We hope you enjoy watching it as much as we did making it.”
WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON THE 16,000th Episode?
The 16,000th episode will feature Jason Morgan returning to the town of Port Charles, Anna and Valentin (James Patrick Stewart) reuniting, and a new surgeon, Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) joining the staff of ‘General Hospital.’
GENERAL HOSPITAL HOLDS SEVERAL RECORDS
Now in its 64th year, Emmy Award-winning daytime drama General Hospital is currently both the longest-running scripted American drama and the longest-running American soap opera currently in production.
General Hospital holds the record for the most Outstanding Daytime Drama award wins, taking home the prestigious Daytime Emmy Award a record 18 times. Will they do it again and make it 19 in 2026? Stay tuned for the 53rd annual Daytime Emmy nominations tomorrow on Tuesday, July 14 to find out if GH will be going for gold in the category, once again.
The ABC daytime drama series was created by Frank and Doris Hursley and premiered back on April 1, 1963. Frank Valentini is the current executive producer with Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten are the show’s co-head writers.
General Hospital airs weekdays on ABC and streams on Hulu.
What do you think of the new cast photo marking General Hospital’s 16000th episode? What do you think of the accomplishment to have that many episodes of a television show and its still thriving and kicking? Share your thoughts and congrats for everyone in front of the camera and behind the scenes on this milestone airing.

I love the show. I think the new recasts combined with the current cast has upped the game in talent and the feel of the show.
But I don’t get the menacing aspects of the characters. IAN was a cartoon and never did anything from the get go to make him an evil being. Nor was Joe Clark even in the end (a lot of who joe was perceived as was based on Dylan – someone who was the same – and averys lie.
Even Marco never came close to evil incarnate that has been victor. Now Luca Santori is suppose to be evil along with his never seen or heard from father?
My point is I just don’t care.
And I hope that when Jack hears that Adam was kidnapped he says “my family is right here. Sorry, Chelsea, Adam is not part of that anymore. He chose victor instead of being a man.”
So you “love the show” but “just don’t care” about the pointless direction the show has been in since last year??
Totally agree! Just not feeling the Santori clan since Day 1. They are a hot mess with Marisa seemingly switching loyalties constantly. They should have introduced some real competition for Victor & Company and let it develop so we could care about what is going on. Luca is good looking but his acting skills are not strong, Marisa is a snooze and the old man, unless they pull off something /someone really outrageously
great, can’t be too much a threat.
They need to pull a Dallas dream sequence here (well, actually they should have done that with the Marco thing, but I digress) and have it all be a bad dream of, say Chelsea’s. Have her (or whomever selected) wake up, and move on. Then if you want a family to threaten Victor & Co., wait a bit and then try something. The sky is the limit with casting here! Just make it interesting, make us care about what is going on, and cast with dynamic actors!
That is simply not true. When Adam & Chelsea got back together Adam did not want to have anything to do with his father (Victor). They had actually almost bought a house in Paris France when Jack called Adam and needed help because of Victor & Ian. When they got back it was only suppose to be for a short time and Victor refused to let Chelsea’s 2:1 designs leave Genoa City. By the time everything was ok again, Victor found out that Sage’s baby was Adam’s and blackmailed him. If Adam leaves Newman Victor will tell Chelsea for that matter it will also upset Sage because although she had a blood test done she never got to read it, Nick took it and said it was his baby. So imagine all the upset people if Victor opens his mouth and everyone knows that old mean goat always wins.
Sorry it was not only Chelsea’s 2:0 Victor was also claiming Grandfather right to their son( as in not allowing them to take the child out of the country)
what show have you been watching? all these people have done something evil or close to it
What is the moral of this Soap, then , Pjc? One does not have to be a murderer to be evil? You got it! Victor Newman is the devil incarnate. He gets away with everything. It’s fiction, of course. But, do people such as he……..of his ilk, exist in reality? I think so. I can name a few, but it would not be the thing.
Victor is the most irreverent, heartless beast, using his professed love for his family as leverage; for personal gain, to justify the degenerate means to a warped end. He actually wanted Billy to die. And, I doubt it had anything to do with compassion, but everything to do with the left-handed, crooked deal he made with Kevin.
Obviously Billy lives; so, does the verbal agreement he made with Kevin still stand? Is that a worry for Victor?
Jack is the last man to throw aspersions on anyone. His hands aren’t so clean. And, I want to scream from the Bell Tower if I have to look at fake Phyllis again. Pathetic. Give Gina a dose of deviltry laced with jusuuuust a bit of honey. Ugh!! Give her a dose of Phyllis. When was she ever so lovey do ey with the Abbotts? With Jill? With Billy? With Victoria? With Nikki? Golly Gee.
Marco is not dead. I don’t know what’s going on, but I trust Adam’s instincts; and, whether this kidnapping was a Santori doing? Well, finally we get to see what’s behind the wall. I already know I won’t like any of them. I still do not grasp the reason for having Spaniards involved in a conglomerate of Newman’s caliber. Spain? Really? I also think Marco is in league with these “Spaniards”, with an Italian name…..I know I keep saying it. The kidnapping is a double edged sword.
CeeCee, my dear…as always, Y-O-U are the VOICE OF REASON!!!!! Thank You. Take care, my friend.
Peace.
@jaybird369.
Thai you, Jay, my friend.
jack will be mad because adam got kidnapped by someone
If this brings Nick and Adam together as brothers then I am all for it. It has been a long time coming. This would show some much needed maturity on Nick’s part – finally forgiving his brother and working with him instead of against him.
If Victor is to be the evil incarnate for the duration of the character’s life (let’s face it, he will NEVER change), then can we at least have the Newman children put on their big boy and girl panties, grow up and be united as one? Please!
i hope nick is with his brother adam not against , i want nick to forgive adam ,
When are Luca and Marisa checking out of Genoa City? They have overstayed their welcome.
yeah luca did
They sure have. Marisa in is the opening credits, so I doubt she’s leaving anytime soon.
Every freakin’ soap cliche has been chucked at us since Pratt took over as Head Writer – nothing but retreaded, regurgitated, plot-driven garbage!!
Something stinks and it’s the current state of “Y & R” – a steaming pile of shizz!!
100% agree! Pratt doesn’t know how to write well, he just repeats one bad story line after another, and does it so poorly.
You bet, Joe. I try so hard not to carp. I have the nagging suspicion that Victor is at the helm, as always,…..I hope he really is not involved in his own son’s kidnapping. My gosh, he is the lowest of the low, if he is….despicable.
Furthermore….here we go again; Sharon has fallen overboard again…we are at round one million. I think dear Dr. Anderson has prescribed a placebo for Sharon. It’s a repeat, all right, Joe….she will end up in the mental hospital again within the nutso doctor’s clutches. These people are supposedly so affluent; so smart; Dylan, now a solid, on-the-ball cop, why not investigate Dr. Anderson? Look into her past and her credentials. It is that simple.
Forgive my tirade, but it also seems that Devon and Abby are going to get involved? Another repeat of lost love, with the birth of another triangle. Later.
I dont care about the Santori storyline and wish Luca and Marisa would hop
the nearest jet out of Genoa City and never come back. And I wanted Chelsea
and Adam and Connor just happy for awhile, jeez, before more dangerous
drama for them.
Adam is always in the middle of trouble because victor put his son adam in the middle of it , adam always help victor win aganist his enemies
I’ll be disappointed if Adam was kidnapped by the Santoris …
Because-
It is too expected too transparent too usual, if it were the Santoris ..
I hope Pratt has an ace up the sleeve on this one offering us a shocker..
((I desperately need a shocker, haven’t had one since RC left))
I like the way you think, su. Hmmmmm. A shocker!! Let’s see….Luca is really Victor’s son? Or Marissa his daughter? I think the biggest shocker of all would be if Phyllis were pregnant with Marco’s baby. Too much time has passed? Yeah; too bad the writers didn’t think of that.
Finally, Adam and Chelsea arrived in a good place; why could ‘they’ just not have given it a rest? Adam barely got his feet in the door and off he goes…kidnapping, no less.
I have no interest in the Santoris, nor Marissa’s fluctuation between Noah and Luca. What a warped relationship…..’nite, su.
I thought the same thing Cee. Adam and Chelsea JUST got comfortable and now he is tied up and she is fit to be tied! And speaking of the Santori’s, not only is their nationality wrong but both of them have dropped their accents!
Maybe its Marco who grabbed him?
Hey, Timmm.
As it usually happens on any soap, I don’t think the writers have ‘invented’ the story behind Adam’s kidnapping. We’re just going for the ride. I had finally come to enjoy Adam and Chelsea together. The couple gave brought much needed ‘familial’ comfort to an otherwise demoralizing Genoa City. Now this.
I hadn’t even noticed Luca dropping the ‘unspaniard’ accent….mostly because he is such an irritant to me, I hardly pay attention to him. However, Marissa ( beautiful, exotic-looking woman) , who I do like, albeit she is excess baggage, I think; lost her accent a week into her first appearance on stage. I had mentioned it, but I thought I had imagined the accent due to the fact it didn’t last long. Does anyone really care she has disappeared?
I am actually waiting to see what’s in store for Abby and Devon. Another loser. Poor Abby. Later, my Timmm.
marco has been killed
@Alexis Bean. Yeah, Victor said Marco is dead. I dont believe him for one minute!
i will be mad at Luca santoris because he help adam
Marco is alive and kicking. No way does he just disappear without having a hand in this, alexis. Too easy. I gather you are a Victor fan?
i don’t think the santori’s had anything to do with adam being missing – i believe that the other sponsors/backers that kevin’s partner is involved with has adam…………..
another stupid storyline because first of all kevin would have taken the money from jack before getting involved with victor – where are tptb/writers getting these ideas from??????
That’s a good premise, elm. It’s ‘The Girl’, they want! What girl? Marissa or Kevin’s partner ( forgot her name which means she’s not important to me, lol). So, why does Victor tell Luca that his father wants Marissa? Could Victor have misunderstood? Or, is he being his usual wily-as-a-fox self? Could the other backers and the Santoris be one and the same? I just cannot get into this story, at all! More romance and less adventure, please. I am not captivated. I find more pleasure watching Sage holding her baby son….another stupid travesty. Later.
Of course the Santories are behind it. Agree with Pjc-a big who cares.
Everyone lies (Sharon – again!), everyone is distrusting (Lily and Cane),
except of people they don’t know like Dr Anderson (why would anyone trust her?! – only Sage sees this unprofessional intrusion on their lives and of course theyll say she’s delusional due to loss of Christian – Sharon trusts her with her meds against her better judgement – Nick confides and listened to her!),
Everyone hides the truth for fear of repercussions (blown opportunity for Noah to step up , do the right thing and have story come from there, Neil character totally destroyed) , or
Everyone plays games with their loved ones to make them jealous (Neil/Devon/Hillary and now Nikki, the matriarch of the show has been reduced to a high school game and Victor would never believe it anyway. Certainly wouldn’t be jealous. ).
Infantile, paranoid and negative behavior is the common denominator in Genoa City.
Ben sets a horrible example for his son by choosing him over Abbey when the reality would be they would try to work through it together (there are other ways to test Abbey and see her step up)
Victoria bringing her children in to say goodbye to their daddy is self serving and very out of character – seeing all those tubes, machines etc could be traumatic. and Vicky knows that. Certainly Nikki would.
Victors and Adam are great together but their re no surprises, no growth.
Characters are being compromised left and right. and the message is horrible.
How characters handle life is either self flagellating or deceitful -not inspiring at all
Bill Bell individuated his characters and wrote great stories.
Pratt is a character rat, chewing away in the name of story. ..recycled stories.
Billys story will probably be another revenge story, get back at Victor and Kevin. Victoria and Billy will get back together because Jason Thompson and Amelia Heinle will be on fire, and Victor will try to break them up. Nothing new there.
Adam and Chelsea are a super couple being underplayed and as always he lies and she suspects. Where is Summer?
Where is Summer??? WHO CARES! The only thing going well out of all this is Summer isn’t on every day being shoved down our throats . I agree with you about Amelia & Jason. They will be a hot couple & Victor will always play the devil himself. I wish they would soften him up. I want to see Adam tell Chelsea about Sage & blow Victor’s blackmail out of the water.
Hey, Nikki…to me, you know what would be EVEN BETTER…N-O SUMMER, PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!! Just an idea………..
Later.
But its a soap. If the characters were all goody two shoes, we’d be watching this on a religious channel. Soaps are constantly building people up which ever way and tearing them down only to redeem them. Even Victor gets a dose of realism from time to time and loses his memory or leaves town to search for his soul. [He is overdue!] I am entertained and thankful these people are not really in my own life. Well except for Abby!
Your right on Tim and I love Abby too as well as Mariah but Summer is just too much. It’s not that she’s a goody-two-shoes, she just really irritates me. Her voice is like scraping a dish with a fork and she has a lisp not to mention always pouting. Im kinda hoping they send her & Kyle back to College for awhile (lifetime would be nice). What a thought a hour hour without a squeak from the mouse.
Abby’s married, Timmm. LOL.
Seriously, I get it. I love my soaps…but, just once I would love for TPTB to treat the viewer with a little more respect. We are intelligent beings and should be offered a certain amount of realism. Considering the world’s economy, why pick Spain? I know I am being repetitious and redundant, but pick a country with a stable economy. What gives?
Victor is Victor. I am continuously complaining about him…..but we gotta give it to the guy…he is that good, as reptilian as he is. You are right, it is these kinds of villains that make the soaps go ’round. But, we also need a buffer once in a while. There is not one storyline which makes me smile or warms the heart. The stolen moments between Sage and Sully, are just that….stolen, borrowed moments. Everyone is miserable for some reason or other…except for Sharon. The poor woman is living in a dream of Anderson’s making…..in a bubble, on Mars. The bubble will burst; she will fall hard; beginning the misery all over again. No respite, Timmm. I want to see a little true, healthy, promising happiness…later, my friend.
It makes far more sense for this to be an Ian Ward act. The Santoris are unlikely to be involved in an anti hacking project. That is totally up Ian’s alley. He knows soon enough Kevin will fill Victor in on the “woman” he will trade for Adam because he knows Kevin was involved in Internet sleuthing for info on the paragon. Time will tell………
I thought Adam’s kidnapping had to do with that geeky computer girl? But anyway, if it is Luca’s family they need to cast his dad. Why not Michael Easton? I would love to see him and Eric Braeden go toe to toe!
Victor is probably Luca’s father, so no need for some one else to play the part…
Aint that the truth!
Oh, my gosh, Hayley!! I just noticed your post. Wow, I thought the same thing!
Hayley…Oh, God, No. As far as I’m concerned, Victor has enough damn children already!!!!! N-o.
Michael Easton is toooo young to be Luca’s father… But he would be a
great addition too Y&R. Bring him in as an FBI agent looking into the
Newman/Santori connection…working along side Paul and Dylan…
Or the Santori’s lawyer looking after their vested interest…
Like yourself ..I thought it had to do with the computer girl who
skipped out on her newly found partners.
I guess your right Fanny about Michael’s age. Yeah, bring him in as FBI and investigate how you go from making Latte’s to flashing a detective’s badge without even watching ONE episode of NCIS!
Good scenario, Fanny. I love it. Michael E would add that special kind of class that only he can bring. The only discordant note for me is working with Dylan. LOL. I can’t get over how easily he slipped into the role of detective. Only in soapland, my lady; only in soapland.
Thanks also to Timmm, for bringing Michael Easton up.
@CeeCee….@Timmm… Perhaps the writers choose to focus on a
Kinder, gentler Father & Son team than what is currently on canvas…
No need to name names….the perps know who they are.
Fed up with the dark side of Young and the Restless; just too much of it. The Kelly/Jack tied up episodes were absolutely nauseating, and that is ignoring the stupidity and lack of resolution. Now the tiresome Mafia chapter is expanding. For me, I just can’t watch this kind of stuff and fast forward. That goes for the Devon, Hillary, and Neil never ending tales.
Apologies for how negative and abrupt these comments are. They just jumped out and don’t infer any criticism of the very fine actors who find ways to work whatever is written for them.
As the previous person mentioned, Ian pulled off a true bit of camp. The new doctor has displayed a bit of that too which was great fun. However, I find myself most grateful for the ability to fast forward when necessary.
AHHHAA AHAAA!
Y&R’s ”darkside” <– ahaa
((Y&R is peaches and cream))
I’m really enjoying Y&R lately, I think it’s smart that they only focus on a few stories at a time.
I have a major crush on the actor that plays Luca so I’m hoping he stays on Y&R for a long time!
the show is horribly written now, and bad acting is starting to seep in.
I’m so sick of another storyline that just covers up more of Victor’s lies and manipulation. He gets away with inserting Marco in Phyllis’s bed, he supposedly “saves” Adam from prison time by blackmailing the judge (by the way – WHERE IS SHE???) and then he blackmails Adam with his omniscient knowledge of Christian’s true paternity. Then he convinces Noah to cover up the fact that he backed his car over Billy – but does he blackmail his grandson? Nooooooo….that’s special sauce treatment for his one black sheep errant child, Adam. And now Adam has been kidnapped because honestly, with the collapsing of the Underground and Newman Towers in LESS THAN TWELVE MONTHS – they need another catastrophe within a nanosecond of everyone saying definitive finale goodbyes to Billy on his deathbed. GOOD LORD. Can we just have a show that doesn’t involve a live/die drama every week?
So Adam has been kidnapped? Great. I don’t think the plot is complicated. It’s the Santori family and they want Kevin’s friend’s big technology…big whoop-dee-do.
Marisa and Luca are beginning to grow on me, especially now that they have dropped their fake accents, but the writing for their storyline is so lame that I can’t get invested in them.
And I can’t get invested in invisible enemies (the Santori family) who according to Marisa when she spoke to Chelsea on Friday, is supposed to make us shiver in our booties, when the real evil is right under our noses: VICTOR. He needs to go away. There is nothing redemptive about him. Send him on a long journey somewhere …maybe Spain?
this show has too many highs and lows…. right now it s a serious low…. the santori s , who technically is A santori…. luca santori , who doesn t seem very sinister, nikki and neil? … totally outrageous, nikki needs to stay in her age group( no offense…its too silly)
kevin, mariah and technerd girl…. who cares?, and new billy #3….nothing sustaining my intrest, this shows so low now im actually looking forward to nick and sharon s baby switch #2 story…. ofcourse i ll watch any storyline that nick and sharon are in together!
Oh, gimme a break already!!!!! Instead of kidnapping Adam, that SO-CALLED Santori family should have kidnapped Noah…who is BEYOND ANNOYING!!!!!
Just saying……….
and he’s a horrible at parking cars too! I bet he cannot parallel park to save his life!!
Thats funny Harry! Thats about the only thing he is good for and he cant even do that! That scene with him, Luca and Victor yesterday, he looked like a school child next to those two!
They should kidnap Noah and give him a decent haircut!
And stop plucking his eyebrows like a girl’s. Noah has really nice eyebrows…such a fine arch.
He’s sooooo cute. How old is he 18???????
@Fanny.
Hi, Fanny, my lady:
Robert/Noah is 30. But, he could pass as 18….truly!!
If MAB was writing this story I would say Adam kidnap himself in order to get hold of Kevin’s project– but this new and gentler Adam who knows— just had to laugh myself silly when Chelsea ends up going to Dylan to find him– Dylan to the rescue again– LOL.
ughhhh…pls no praising mab! she lost all my respect when she married sahron and victor, which was pretty much incestous and rapey! lowest point of y n r ever… sharon case wanted no part of it and eric braedan was full of himself… lost respect for eric braedan too! that plot was disgusting
I wasn’t praising MAB– all I said was under her reign Adam was an evil son of bitch and at that time he would have kidnap himself— that is hardly an endorsement of the woman’s work. ITA some of her work was the lowest point for the show— sorry I brought up a bad memory for you, wasn’t my intent.
That WAS disgusting, damien, definitely. But, not as disgusting as when Adam pretended to be gay and slept with Rafe; who happened to be the best character on Y&R. Such a genuinely nice guy. I loved him. I still remember how hurt he was. And, what does that say for the irreverence used on the gay community? Bah!!
Well Mary I am not watching it enough these days to be on top of it but someone mentioned that whenever they constantly mention a past character they usually show up . Could it be Marco ? Lord knows Pratt seems to think we have to see EB PB and Steve Burton five days a week.
I believe, as I already said, Marco’s hand is in the cookie jar…really deep, Kay. I agree with you.
How RIDICULOUS were yesterday’s scenes when Dylan whipped out his badge? They could at least have had Dylan off screen for a week, saying he was in training/academy, etc., but to just give him a badge and let him go off on his own is so unreal. Of course, so is the police chief personally investigating every crime.
I guess in soap terms it isn’t anymore ridiculous than Abby becoming COO of a major corporation with no training or background in business— at least Dylan can claim his military service was training– I guess we will just have to chalk this one up to another WTH moment on a soap. But if I was Paul I would watch my back because the way it is going Dylan will be the next chief of police in a month– LOL.
what family? it’s two people lol until they start introducing the rest of the family il never take them serious as a threat to the Newman dynasty
It’s obvious that the head of the family will be revealed as Shelia Carter…..when Shelia “died”, she was actually comatosed and taken out the country to Spain where she was looked after by Niklaus Santori, who was an orphan that was raised with Victor in the School of Orphans, and was bullied by Victor/Christian at a young age, and vowed to one day bring down said VicChris…tech girl is Shelia’s daughter, who will later be revealed as Daisy, anywho, they will all converge at the Newman Towers where Lauren and Micheal will just happen to be having dinner and Shelia will be revealed as the mastermind behind everything that’s happened in the last year and will hold everyone in town hostage and at Midnight the Letter “N” from the Newman Tower sign will fall and kill everyone…fade to black screen….just kidding…i haven’t watched this show in over eight months and have no idea what’s going on……I do like Jason Thompson…..and I like the characters of Kevin and Mariah….
Am lost as to what is happening. Opened my recording yesterday and saw Marisa tethered to the bed mirroring how Jack was held by Kelly months ago. For me that is “dark” writing. I saw a picture of Adam tied up. Just can’t watch this type of scene without it being properly developed and concluded.
There are “dark” programs on television which have a central cast seeking justice. The central cast gives viewers comfort. Young and the Restless seems to have become poorly put together vignettes introducing new characters that, like a tossed balloon, are floating around looking for a spot to rest.
I allow a lot of slack for this program because it has been appreciated for so long. I don’t want to be critical, but since the ratings appear to be world wide it almost makes irrelevant any consideration of comments suggesting the need to improve.
Thanks to Michael Fairman’s group for their review.
Love Y&R but lately I am soooooooo sick of Chelsea’s whining.
