Get ready for tomorrow’s August 10 episode of The Young and the Restless when it looks as though Joshua Morrow will be front and center stage in a standalone episode where Nick is going to hit close to rock bottom. Viewers can expect another riveting performance by Morrow is on tap in what could be a harrowing wake-up call for Nick.

The story of Nick’s drug addiction, which occurred after he got into a car accident and broke his leg (thanks to Matt Clark as played by Roger Howarth), and got hooked on Fentanyl pills, also (thanks to Matt Clark), was the perfect storm for the always stand up guy of the Newman family to fall into a drug dependency that has unspooled for months.

It was back in May when Nick and Adam (Mark Grossman) returned from Las Vegas to hunt Matt Clark down, and then came to see their father, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) to update him on the situation.

Sadly, that was also the moment that Nick had to admit to his dad that he is addicted to Fentanyl. In the scenes, a guilt-ridden and ashamed Nick looked at the father he idolized and broke down. At the end of the scene, Victor got up from his chair and called Nick, “My boy,” and went over to hug him, devastated about Nick’s condition.

During Eric Braeden’s recent interview on the Michael Fairman Channel, he recalled the taping of that scene. “It touched me deeply and it was one of those moments that a father and son don’t want,” explained Braeden. “They’re horrified by that. I think Joshua made an enormous leap in acting in that scene. He showed what he is capable of.”

Braeden was deeply-affected by the moment as well. “It was a very, very touching scene. We had some scenes after that, again, about the same thing,” said Eric. “Now, there’s a whole deeper connection between father and son. Any father would almost have a breakdown knowing that his son is on drugs or his daughter. It was a very well-written scene. I’ll never forget it. ”

Morrow had told us during his livestream interview alongside TV brother, Mark Grossman also on the Michael Fairman Channel, that having to say the dialog to Braeden who is like a second father to him in real life proved difficult. He shared he could barely get the words out of his mouth.

Eric confirmed that he and Joshua, along with Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki Newman) are all so close, making the moment all the more heartbreaking to play. “It’s very, very, very true,” shared Braeden, “and the offshoot of those scenes have been equally as good. Joshua’s been wonderful … fantastic.”

Now with Josh Griffith’s (ex-head writer, Y&R) material wrapping up on-screen over the next several weeks, and newly planted Y&R co-head writers Jamey Giddens and Dan O’Connor having started their new gig with the number one daytime drama last week, it will be intriguing to see what the scribes do with Nick, and of course, everyone else on the Genoa City canvas!

So, do you remember the scene where Nick admitted to Victor he has a drug problem? Did it break your heart as well? What did you think of Eric Braeden’s thoughts on Joshua getting a chance to shine? Looking forward to tomorrow’s episode to see what Joshua does in the scenes? Let us know in the comment section.

B&B’s Crew Morrow Featured in Courtroom Thriller ‘Wildcards’ Set for Theatrical Release and Tour

Published

The Bold and the Beautiful’s Crew Morrow (Will Spencer) will be seen later this month in Wes Miller’s highly-anticipated courtroom thriller, Wildcards, now set for theatrical release nationwide on August 27, but with a twist. Wildcards recently won the Best Narrative Feature at the Essence Film Festival.

According to Variety, BLacklight and Dark Star Pictures are using the release date to reimagine a theatrical rollout by pairing a screening in select markets (seven cities, seven nights) with a moderated discussion featuring members of the cast and creative team, and in some cities, local community leaders, artists and cultural voices.

As previously reported, Wildcards, follows the trial of Theodore Sterling (Morrow), a privileged young man accused of sexually assaulting a young Black woman. As jurors from different backgrounds clash over the evidence, tensions escalate between determined state prosecutor James Jones and veteran defense attorney Greg Sims.

TOUR STOPS, A CULTURAL EVENT AND MOVIE PREMIERE

The case takes a turn with the arrival of a mysterious “wildcard” witness who claims to know the truth about the night in question. Her connection to the accused raises unsettling questions of bias, credibility and justice.

The ensemble cast features Crew Morrow, plus Leon, Elise Neal, Aries Spears, Stakiah Lynn Washington, Courtney Grace, Samantha Walkes and Robert Catrini.

Each tour stop is designed to be a shared cultural event, with organizers calling it an “evening of storytelling, reflection and audience engagement that extends beyond the final credits.”

In a statement, Wes Miller shared on the upcoming film release and tour stop (cities and dates to be announced): “I’m excited to bring this film and share the stellar performances of the cast. ‘Wildcards’ represents everything I’m passionate about as a filmmaker — creating authentic and meaningful genre entertainment for the culture. For me, this theatrical tour is about taking that directly to our communities, city-by-city, and creating the kind of theatrical experience that reminds people why cinema matters.”

Crew Morrow debuted on The Bold and the Beautiful back in August of 2024. Since that time, he has been front and center in a young love story between his character of Will Spencer and Electra Forrester played by Laneya Grace.

Currently, the duo have broken-up on-screen, but such is the case of star-crossed lovers on the soaps. Morrow is the real-life son of The Young and the Restless long-running cast member Joshua Morrow (Nick Newman).

So, excited to see Crew in the motion picture Wildcards? Do you hope the tour stops in your city, so you can attend a Q&A? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

Finn Carr, Kayden Brenna Tokarski

Finn Carr, who delivered powerful performances on General Hospital, when Rocco shot WSB director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) and its aftermath, may be headed for his first on-screen love story on the ABC soap opera.

Ever since it was announced that the long-running daytime drama decided to age-up Scout Cain, and in a few recent scenes between Rocco and Scout, it’s clear these two share similar interests and like each other.

Scout is now played by Kayden Brenna Tokarski, who made her GH debut back on July 20 as the daughter of Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) and the late Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco).

In a newly-released virtual segment with ABC11 North Carolina’s GH virtual insider, Dearon Smith, both Finn Carr and Asher Antonyzyn talked about working on a soap opera, while finishing high school, and teasing what’s ahead for Danny and Rocco. While Finn and Asher couldn’t give too much away, Smith asked Finn Carr if there is something brewing between Scout and Rocco?

WHAT’S NEXT FOR ROCCO AND DANNY?

Carr responded, “That’s an interesting question. Kaden is great to work with, and I love working with her. There definitely is some great stuff coming up that people are going to want to watch. It’s good stuff and really fun.”

Apparently, Danny and Rocco will also find themselves once again in some trouble, but as Finn tells it looks like this time, Danny will take the brunt of it. “We get into a lot of trouble … well, Danny gets into a lot of trouble … but I do a lot though.” Very cryptic indeed!

You can check out the full conversation with Finn and Asher with ABC11 below.

Now, let us know, would you like to see Rocco have a girlfriend, and that it would be Scout? Do you think Finn and Kayden work well together on-screen? Share your thoughts via the comment section.

Published

Laura Wright

While there have been plenty of on-screen newcomers in recent weeks on General Hospital, no need to worry about one of its mainstays, with the news from Daytime Emmy winner, Laura Wright, herself. Wright who plays Carly Spencer on the ABC soap opera has revealed on X, that she just re-signed a new deal with the soap opera to remain in Port Charles.

Wright is the fourth actress to play Carly, following in the footsteps of the OG Carly, Sarah Brown, Tamara Brown, and Jennifer Bransford. In fact, Laura left her major role on Guiding Light as Cassie Layne Winslow to take over the role of Bobbie Spencer’s (the late Jackie Zeman) complex daughter in November of 2005. Now almost 21 years later, Laura has made Carly her own and has delivered memorable performance after memorable performance throughout her run.

When a fans commented on X, “Can I just say if you ever leave General Hospital as Carly I will stop watching the show. I honestly have loved you and think that you are the best person to play Carly,” Laura Wright jumped in to the thread and assured her and other GH fans, that she has no plans to go anywhere else.

LAURA WRIGHT STAYING PUT AT GENERAL HOSPITAL AND FANS ARE HAPPY SHE’S STICKING AROUND

Laura expressed, “I’m not going anywhere, just signed a new contract!!!” Since she made her public statement, many GH fans were thrilled with the news with comments such as: I would’ve been devastated if you weren’t sticking around. You’ve truly made Carly your own after so many years, ” and Happy to hear this, I always enjoy #GH more when Carly is on,” plus “So glad you’re sticking around as Carly. Love Carly and can’t wait for more #Caradine and #Jarly”

One fans hopes Laura will be on for years to come a la Jane Elliot’s tenure as Tracy Quartermaine saying, “Awesome. It’s so fun getting to see the full life of a character. Hope you stick around for many more years. I think Carly will be a hoot in her Tracy Quartermaine era.”

Laura Wright’s road to General Hospital started back on ABC’s Loving when she first played  Allison “Ally” Rescott on Loving (1991 to 1995) and then its spinoff The City (1995 to 1997). She later joined Guiding Light as Cassie, who was revealed to be the sister of Reva Shayne played by Kim Zimmer. She played the part from 1997-2005. From then on its been all GH scoring a Lead Actress Daytime Emmy win in 2011, along with eight total nominations throughout her daytime career.

Currently, Carly is involved in a romance with Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), but it’s on shaky ground with Anna Devane back in the picture not so happy to see the two canoodling, and Carly having been warned by Sonny that Valentin is not trustworthy.

However, after seeing Laura’s post that she has signed on to stay at GH, James Patrick Stuart commented on X  reacted by stating, “Phew!”

So, happy to hear Laura has re-signed with General Hospital and will continue her role as Carly Spencer? Let us know via the comment section below.
