THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Christine and Paul Call It Quits; Is it time to Rekindle a Romance with Danny?
On Wednesday’s episode of The Young and the Restless, the top-rated soap opera finally dealt with one of the elephants in the room. What to do about Christine (Lauralee Bell) and Paul’s marriage, when the character of Paul and his longtime portrayer, Doug Davidson are no longer with the show.
Viewers learned in key scenes between Danny (Michael Damian) and Christine that her marriage to Paul has fallen apart, for good. Christine had gone to Portugal to meet Paul and attempt to salvage their marriage.
She tells Danny the two has been going through some problems, but none of which she thought were insurmountable. When Paul retired, things took a turn. Together for the first time in a long time, Christine shared that when Paul reached out to her to come to Portugal she looked at it as a positive sign.

An emotional Christine said that the two talked and talked and tried to figure out if there was any hope for their marriage. In the end, Christine had to admit to Danny that Paul was pulling away from her and that he’s just not in love with her anymore. When Danny questions her that there is really no hope, she shares there is no way back for them, expressing, “We just don’t work together anymore. We both saw it so clearly. ”
Danny asks what comes next for her? She says she will figure it out and he says he knows she will. With Paul out of the picture, this frees up Christine to revisit her relationship and past love for Danny, After all, the two had been married before back in 1990. The marriage fell apart due to Phyllis (Michelle Stafford). Thus, setting the stage for this potential triangle to reignite in 2023.
Next week on November 2nd, with Christine at the crossroads, Y&R is set to dedicate a special episode on her journey, which also serves to mark Lauralee’s 40th anniversary with the series.

Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in their latest issue, Bell shared on the standalone episode, “This one is tinged with a little sadness because Paul and Christine have mutually decided to divorce, so it’s taken time for Christine to adjust to where she is now. When people get to a certain age, they are wondering, ‘Should I have tried that?’ She’s not unhappy, she’s trying to figure out what direction her life should take, and it’s a roller coaster of emotions.”
While the episode will feature very specific flashbacks, it will also feature the return of Christine’s best friend, Nina Webster (Tricia Cast). Bell shared “It makes sense that she would come at this point because Nina is the one person Christine will listen to.”
Will Y&R bring us Christine and Danny 2.0? Would you like to see them rekindle their love? How do you feel Y&R wrote the exit of Paul Williams to free up Christine in this next phase of her life? Let us know in the comment section below.
I’m very excited to see Lauralee’s Anniversary that will show past clips! I’ve been there since day 1. I’m most excited about Danny and Cricket reuniting once for all. It would bring their story full circle. I didn’t agree with Paul falling out of love. They could’ve left it with they just don’t work anymore. Reunite the Romalotti’s.
Second that!
Danny and Cricket were the first y n r couple I really rooted back when I was old enough to become invested! Can’t wait to revisit all the history and especially liking Phyllis out of the tired Diane Tucker crap.
Happy also to see Nina, hope she has scenes with Chance and I think it’s also time since Danny and Daniel are reunited to bring back Gina like Esther. She could be the manager at the GCAC. The show needs some heart now that Mamies back too
It’s extremely frustrating what Y&R has done with Paul. So much disrespect shown towards Doug Davidson, who’s been part of the show for 40 years. And for what? There’s no logical reason why Paul shouldn’t be a core part of the show. The explanation for why he and Christine are breaking up was lazy and forced, and so implausible considering all of the “problems” they supposedly went through happened OFF screen. A complete waste of storyline potential, and such a shame for longtime viewers.
Agreed!
I agree with Jimmy, lazy writing and makes no sense for this couple. I could care less whether Christine and Danny get together or not, but I wouldn’t mind seeing them ride off into the sunset never to be seen in GC again. Never liked Christine and no need for Danny to be in GC really. I certainly do not want to see any involvement of Phyllis – my girl deserves better.
Phyllis and Danny????? No chemistry what so ever!!!!
After everything she did to ruin his life, if he doesn’t know better after all these years, he’s a glutton for punishment.
They still have so much chemistry it’s so nice to see them and can’t wait to throw Phyllis in the mix! And can’t wait to see Nina! If they were smart they would make Nina a bitch again and put her up against Jill it would be fabulous!!!!!
I remember Cricket when she first appeared on the program. Knew she was related to one of the producers or something, but she appeared very comfortably into her role. When seeing her recently with Danny it felt so natural. She, although not seen for quite a while, was delightful and it felt real. I always was fond of Paul and heard through the grapevine it was politics that took him away. We are so divided in this nation maybe it would be a nice gesture to bring him back. Think he saved Nikki (spell) from some kind of cult. I enjoy seeing the people who were around years ago; some not for so long. This Mamy (spell) thing is wrong, in my opinion.
I happen to like Danny and Cricket together. They were so in love years ago when the red- headed bitch came a spoiled everything. I don’t know how Danny can even stand looking at her after the way she ruined their lives, had Daniel and just proceeded to ruin his, right after he was born and through his whoe life.She destroys everything she touches.
I hate it…no more Danny & Christine! Bring Paul back!
Somewhere, somehow Doug/Paul got the shaft. We will probably never know the whole truth but he was great as Paul and a darnn good actor, I’ll miss him. Why couldn’t they have dumped Phyllis, that witch makes me sick to my stomach, especially when she smiles,yuk!

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Steffy is Shaken to the Core, ‘Oh My God! I’m Pregnant!’

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.

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?
