THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Dire Consequences & Decisions Leave Adam and Nick in No-Win Situations
In a riveting episode of The Young and the Restless, two major stories played out with dire consequences for those involved. On Friday’s Y&R, it was showdown time for Sharon (Sharon Case) and Nick (Joshua Morrow) vs. Cameron Kirsten (Linden Ashby). Could they save their kidnapped daughter from the clutches of the ex-convict, and delusional Cameron?
Meanwhile, Sally (Courtney Hope) has gone into medical distress and with Nick unreachable as he is trying to save the life of his daughter and Sharon, it leaves Adam (Mark Grossman) to make a heartbreaking decision. Elena (Brytni Sarpy) lets him know that he has to decide and fast or Sally, or the baby she is carrying, will die! If you haven’t seen today’s Y&R and want to watch the episode don’t read any further.
Under the tunnel and in the sewage system of Genoa City, Cameron is making a bomb, while he reveals a bound and gagged Faith (Reylynn Caster) to a fire hydrant. He fills Faith in on his feelings for her mom, and then goes on to say that Sharon is a bitch when all he’s done is love her for all of these years. Cameron continues saying that he made his way back to Sharon, only to have the love of his life lead him on, and dismiss him like a piece of garbage.

Nick and Sharon figure out where Cameron is, with the help of Chance (Conner Floyd). All of a sudden, Cameron is gone once Sharon shows up. It is then that Sharon comes upon her tied-up daughter and sets her free. Nick appears and Sharon hands Faith to him, only to have Cameron grab Sharon from behind with a knife to her throat. Nick fumes at Cameron to let Faith and Sharon go, but Cameron tells him, he has to choose which one to save … his daughter or Sharon? And… if he can’t choose they will both die, then he will kill them both.

Sharon is able to get to the knife strapped to her leg while Cameron is expounding his vitriol at Nick, and slices him in the arm, and then Chance arrives with a gun pointed at Kirsten. Not wanting to live in fear any longer, Sharon stabs Cameron in the heart as he falls to the ground. Problem is … Kirsten strapped a bomb around Faith’s waist and he landed very close to the detonator. Is Cameron still alive to blow up Faith? Stay tuned on Monday.

Back to the hospital room and an unconscious Sally, Adam tells Elena he doesn’t know how he can make this decision. He sits by Sally as Adam agonizes over this impossible decision, in tears, he tells Elena what decision he made, but we don’t see that on camera. Later, following surgery, Adam learns that Sally lost the baby. When Sally begins to come too, she asks Adam about the baby. Meanwhile, Adam is emotionally shook. How he is going to break the news to her? The episode featured excellent and raw performances from bothLinden Ashby and Mark Grossman.

So, what did you think about Sally losing the baby? Sharon stabbing Cameron? Let us know in the comments section below, but first check out the final moments of today’s Y&R, and the preview for Monday’s episode.
Great performance from Mark Grossman these days. The actor brings a lot to the soap. I now hope that Adam will find solace in another woman: Elena? Audrey? Sally has been abusing him for months.
I agree on all counts, David. I’d like to see Adam with Elena as well. I like Sally but it’s hard to see these two ever recovering from this tragedy. Adam will always harbor great guilt over Delia so it’s got to cut him to his core when Sally tells him next week that he’s the reason why her daughter is dead. Nick would have made the same decision Adam did.
Harry,
Nick almost had to make that decision in the sewer when that pig said, Sharon or Faith?
I agree with you Harry.
She shouldn’t blame Adam because the baby was to young to stave and Adam did the right thing and it wasn’t his fault it was all on nick because Sally was worried about nick so why Adam is going threw that’s wrong let nick take his blame
David,
No, sorry not Elena. I’d rather see him and Chelsea back together with their son.
Yes, she has…
As if the original Sharon/Cameron story wasn’t bad enough for daytime soaps, writers did a followup which was just as horrific.. Then if that wasn’t enough, Sally had to lose the baby. Both stories at the same time. If anything I think the writers and ptb should go into therapy. As a relatively new viewer to Y&R I’m going to find better things to do with my time. Y&R isn’t young and restless anymore, if it ever was.
Favorite Soap, have watched it from the beginning !
rose,
I know you won’t like or agree with my view, but this “dark” stuff is what’s kept Y&R the good show it is today. If you read way down below the credits it says NOT FOR WIMPS. Just trying to inject a little levity here. Seriously though, it can be on the dark side with sensitive issues and just not for everyone I guess. Maybe you can just watch the SLs that aren’t so bothersome.
Violet…Thanks for your reply. But it seems there are other commenters who also don’t like this type of storyline, or as one put it “drama.” Add on other stories with “drama” like Phyllissssssss forever, and other less so….Diane/Jack, Victoria/Nate, another sad baby story all bunched together, I will probably take the summer off. And GH and B&B aren’t much better right now for more boring plus baby reasons. I’m in the mood for more happy , romantic and adventure.
That’s why I’m enjoying Diane and Jack’s do over romance. Without Ashley/Trevor foolishness tossed in whenever the four are in the same room. I wish the writers would let Diane and Jack have a mature, evolved romance without the extra. Victor and Nickie are no longer cheating on each other and have evolved as a loving older couple. If Diane is written as trying to fool Jack, I will finally get over my afternoon habit since college in 1983 and start exercising earlier.
I think it’s terrible for Adam. Don’t think it should have been written this way.
Rhonda,
I think it’s terrible and heartbreaking for both men. Adam feels so guilty and sad for having to make his decision and Nick will be devastated because he’ll feel he failed and let Sally down by not being there. I feel so bad for them but maybe it will bring them together as nothing has
I agree give Adam a break he’s my most favorite character and nothing ever goes right for him
I believe Adam will be given a lady later on but his heart is too broken now and he truly loves Sally. I believe the writers are going to change up and concentrate on the brothers coming together to run something that will give Newmsn a fight. Pit Vicky and Nste in their place. But hey they will always being brothers. Have difficulties. I believe Sally will leave fir a while.
Y&R seems to be harkening to their earlier greater days. Yes, this was dark but it was also an intensely written, character driven storylines. I loved that Sharon took charge and it was she, not Nicholas, and not Chance, who rescued Faith and herself. Sharon was her own hero. Adam having to choose the life of Sally over the baby’s was emotionally gut wrenching. There are spoiler scenes of Nicholas embracing his little brother which is good to see.Converesely, I’m sure that viper, Vicky, will use Adam’s vulnerability to strike while the iron’s hot. Anyway, it was good to get a break from the endless Phyllis-pretending-to-be-dead storyline. Again, these stories were evocative of Y&R’s glory days. Now they need to bring back the classical Y&R musical score to underscore and punctuate the drama. I’m not sure why they ever got rid of it in the first place.
If that plays out (Victoria kicking Adam while he’s down), that might be the last straw for Victor and his deranged princess. He’s already suspicious of Nate and Audra’s whisperings. I REALLY want Miss Vicky (wasn’t that Tiny Tim’s wife’s name?) to be brought down a few pegs. I’m half-expecting Nate to bring sexual harassment charges against her.
Soaphound,
Or Elena could sue her for alienation of affections, used to work years ago.
I also think it’s time for Miss Vicky to be brought down a notch!
Hi Harry…But do we want this kind of “dark” in our soap stories…knives, scissors, fists, women and children being abducted, threatened and attacked? And even guns on GH…Ava carries one in her purse, Dex? I don’t care how good the acting is. How many times have commenters mentioned they started watching soaps with their mothers and/or grandmothers. Is this what you want them to be exposed to? The real world news every day is beyond bad enough. Can’t see Adam with anyone but Sally. Who I like. They will have a long way back from the loss of the baby and Adam’s choice. And Certainly not another viper, Audrey. :))
A soap opera is about love,family and drama. This last month has had all of that and I’m glad they went a little dark. Keeps it interesting. Like back when I was first watching with my grandma’s. They try to make it as close to real life as possible. So, yes, there’s weapons and abducted characters. I’ve loved my stories for 45 years. I’m not stopping anytime soon because of some drama.
Tina,
I’m with you, I’ve been watching for over 60 years, with my kids, grandkids and great-grandkids. They weren’t traumatized that I saw but I did send them out of the room a lot. One of the worst was a GL episode of Roger trying to rape Holly. My granddaughter spent just about all day in another room. You just did what you had to do, God forbid you should turn the darn TV off.
rose,
That woman is one world class bitch! Can’t see a man wanting her but for only one thing, she’s worse than Vicki.
Rose, you mention watching soaps with our grandmothers. I know it’s become a cliche but I actually watched AMC with my grandmother while my mother worked. This was in the 70s when Rey( Tad Martin’s father) raped Ruth Martin(Tad’s adopted mother). There was also Billy Clyde Tuggell, who was his battered wife’s pimp. Soaps, especially the ones written by Agnes Nixon, have a tradition of zeroing in on a character’s Shakespearean tragic flaw. The soap genre was really dark but we viewers have acclimated to the temperate climate that has taken over. Y&R had a story from the 80s in which Ashley had an abortion because the father, Victor, was going back to his wife Nikki. Victor was enraged when he found out and Ashley was so guilt ridden and grief stricken she ended up in a mental asylum. I don’t think that storyline would play out in these divisive times we live in. Y&R has become Y&R lite and the recent stories mentioned in the article above seem to be evocative of the stories of yesterday. It’s not often we get to see well written character driven storylines anymore so it was nice to see.
Harry…I guess I got into soap opera “lite” when I started watching. I didn’t have a family member who got me started. But I was in my freshman year at Ohio State U, caught mono the kissing disease, had a very strict doctor when they still made house calls who put me on bed rest for at least a month. There was nothing to do except watch tv and that’s when I became a fan of GH. I must have just missed Luke, who I’ve never been a fan of, raping Laura or I may have changed the channel. And had many more fun years with Felicia/Frisco, Lucy, Anna/Robert, Q shenanigans, out-of-studio locations, etc. Like I said, a bigger diet of fun, romance, mysteries, adventures, combined with not so nice behaviour are more my cup of tea. Not what ran on Y&R recently. Like I said, too much of this kind of mindless, vicious stuff on real news which I think you also follow. Anyway, thank you for your background info. Keep well.
Harry
About what you said about the music. I’m old enough to remember when they played organ music, especially the introduction to each show. I remember the first time I heard Lara’s Theme but my very favorite was the start of ATWT, can still hear it, the original one. They did a second version years later but not the same up and down your spine sensation. I know, I’m crazy!
I’m so pissed off at the writers of this show they killed off Sally’s baby.
Why did the kill her baby im not watching the show for a little while
I totally agree, I was so upset the baby didn’t make it.poor Adam…..
Cameron revenge story really moved quickly. I would have liked some suspense over another month or so. It was tough to really remember and to care. I never cared for this baby story, another baby of dubious parentage between brothers?, but it and revenge story were well acted.
I can thankfully say that I’ve never known this to happen to anyone in real life but with all the movies and TV, I’ve also never seen a husband, etc. tell the Drs. to save the child and let the mother die. When Sally recovers a little, she should be grateful for Adam’s choice and we know Nick or anyone else would do the same.
I didn’t hear Adam make The decIs ion. Elena told him if he could not then the doctors in the OR would. That’s what I thought happened
I was surprised that Sally’s situation was so dire. I thought she would just have a miscarriage. I felt that the story line could not ring true for her to have the baby. Yvonne
I knew that Sally would not have that baby because Sally was nearing the final trimester of her pregnancy and she was still holed up in that cramped hotel
Room. The fact that they couldn’t be bothered to build a home set with a nursery for Sally told me that the there would be no baby for Sally.
I’m heart broken that Sally lost the baby. I really wanted her and the baby to live. Saron stabbing Cameron I think I would have done the same to save myself but not to lose my daughter so I feel that was a decision that she had to think fast on. Hope faith will survive.
I wanted Sally to have the baby and Adam to get back together and get married! Nick will always put Sharon first! Do a story right for once!!
I’m broken Hearted that Sally lost the baby… but know Sharon did what she needed to do. Cameron was an animal who needs to die. He has no good in him.
I’m furious that Sally lost the baby! When is she going to get a break? I’m also very upset that you have broken up Summer and Kyle, and even more furious that you’re hinting about a relationship with Kyle and Audra. This would be the worst pairing ever.
I don’t want Sally to leave but I want her and Adam to get back together and have another baby together
I was thinking this is Adam dream ( not real) I so wanted Adam to have a baby girl name Hope. I agree Adam need I new boo. I can see him with gold digger Audrey and building a company together. Also helping his son out he needs his father.
Adam is dreaming I hope
I am glad Sharon stabbed Cameron. I never thought they where going to let Sally have a baby so know surprise.
I think Sharon and nick are guilty of over acting. However Adam and sally both were excellent. But it’s rarely that choice has to be made. They always try to save not. Plus her baby was so premature it would have had not much chance of to Servive.

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, reps for 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.
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 (Tanner Novlan) 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.
