THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Lily's Confession To Cane … She Slept With Joe!
Courtesy/CBS
On Tuesday’s episode of CBS’ The Young and the Restless, the marriage of LANE took a major hit, when Lily (Christel Khalil) admitted to Cane (Daniel Goddard) that she slept with none other than Joe Clark (Scott Elrod)!
At first, Cane was actually understanding thinking that Lily just kissed Joe, since he also was caught kissing Lauren (Tracey E. Bregman), and the two agreed to go through couples counseling. But then a guilt-ridden Lily admitted it went further than a kiss, and she slept with Joe. Cane was visibly upset. So upset that he later said to Lily, “You want me to forgive you? I will forgive you when hell freezes over!”
After Cane kissed Lauren and Lily slept with Joe, and Cane tried everything to make it right with Lily after his lip-lock with Lauren, where does this duo go from here? What did you think of the performances of Daniel Goddard and Christel Khalil in the key scenes?
Watch the moment where Lily confesses to Cane after the jump, and then share your thoughts on the future of LANE!
Oh please, after all the crap Lily has forgiven him for he can’t muster up any understanding to forgive her one half drunken slip—not excusing cheating, but honestly saying he will never forgive her, which is when hell will freeze over is a bit extreme. Of course, all this happened for one reason, I think poor Joe Clark is going to get whacked, and they need to fill out the suspect list, right now we have Avery, Dylan, Cane, perhaps Lily, Sharon, because Sharon is always a suspect in any murder in town and I’m sure there will be more before it happens–
If there were a like button in here, I would click it for Mary’s comment.
The Sharon comment really made me laugh.
PS. I LOVE that Sharon seems to be in redemptive mode now.
PSS Hey Mary. When Cricket was speaking of her own rape, I thought she was referring to the time Paul raped her. But she mentioned another man, Derrick someone. I do recall this, albeit vaguely.
I guess Cricket was raped two times but I clearly remember when Paul raped her. I am wondering if they are hoping we forgot?
Ok now I’m confused. Didn’t Michael Baldwin rape Christine at one point? Mary where are you? Your the one with the great memory.
Cricket was date raped by Derek who later committed suicide then Michael Baldwin stalked her dug his way into her apt thru a closet was attempting rape and Danny & Paul saved her. The storyline with Paul forcing sex on her because he wanted her back was controversial on whether or not they thought it was rape. Michael went away to prison later came back etc. this was during Bill Bell days of course and his daughter was involved in almost every major headline story of the day. I have my doubts that it is Joe who raped her this is Pratt and Phelps it will probably turn out to be her Doctor that is what they did on Santa Barbara years ago with the character of Eden. A graphic rape scene that is why I find it amusing that some people say oh what Pratt was going to do with the character of Avery other actresses have played much more intense scenes then this storyline.
As for Lilly this was just a fast plot of Pratt’s to break up a couple he finds boring now Cane can hop in the sack with Lauren. Yawn!
So Cricket was the Summer of her time? You know, involved in EVERY story line!
Oh my GOSH! I completely forgot about that storyline where Paul forced himself on Christine!!!!!!
Thank you , Kay. I was pretty sure Michael Baldwin was found guilty of sexual harassment, or at least charged with such.
After Paul forced sex onto Christine, they both acted so freaked out that it sure did appear to be a case of rape. To me, it was definitely rape and totally out of character for Paul.
I think they’d like us to forget it.
Sharon and Adam are my favorite couple. I dont get them anymore so I have not been happy. Chelsea is and was a drive by when Adam was upset Nick forced Sharon to choose between Faith and Adam
Spot on, Mary. That line “when hell freezes over” was so lame. I’m not a fan of Lily’s but Cane acted like he was under the spell of a siren when Lauren kept crying on his shoulder and it is clear from that KISS that it was not a little peck – it was a full-on passionate kiss.
Again, we have a storyline where a male character cheats by kissing (Billy-Victoria-Chelsea and Cane-Lauren-Lily) and then the female character reacts by having sex with someone else. In both cases, the female character is treated like she should be stoned to death (Billy’s slut-shaming of Chelsea at the altar, if you can call a step at the Athletic Club an altar) and Cane’s hell freezing over line to Lily. I”m not saying Cane should forgive her right away or that what Lily did was right, but this archetype of revenge sex as done by the woman and as being WORSE than the cheating done by the man who is suddenly absolved of everything he has done to step out of the relationship, is tiresome and overly simplistic.
Lily and Cane are too saccharine for me and all they have done lately is have sex in different rooms at the Athletic Club; but like Lauren and Michael, they have a history together that is very human and personal, and it’s been treated in such a wishy washy, generic way that makes it hard for me to be sympathetic with any of them.
Great post!
I totally agree.
Lucia,
I just posted a reply to your post, and forgot
to add YES, Cane’s comment about hell freezing
over did seem lame and over the top jerky of him.
I get that he just found out, but still. And so Lily made
a mistake. She didnt have to come clean, yet she did,
immediately, too.
I had wanted Lane to stay together, but now I don’t care.
Cane can go jump.
I’m not crazy about either character, but they did a helluva job with their scenes yesterday.
Cane isn’t too forgiving!!!
We need more happy couples.
Sharon and Adam please again
I hope that in time Cane will forgive Lily. He needs to own his part in all of this. His lies of the past and his recent lying for Devon led her to distrust him. Then he was always putting Lauren before her. How many late nights working, broken dinners, holding Lauren’s hand and then finally as kiss. A kiss that Lauren AND Cane initially told her to just “get over” Lily asked him to back away from her and he wouldn’t . Lily was very, very wrong for breaking her vows but she didn’t act in a vacuum. Lastly, after all Lily has forgiven, I hope in time he will be able to forgive her.
Awwww, Heidi. I really appreciate your sentiments. But, I could never be so forgiving. The trust would be gone. Trust is so important in a relationship.cane, or anyone, would always be wondering, no?
There is never a good reason for cheating. I do not like Cane…never did. So, I really don’t want to give the impression that he did no wrong. He did put Lily through the wringer. But, did he cheat? I don’t remember. Even if he did, she should not turn around and repay him in kind. Where is her dignity? It was revenge sex, pure and simple. Easy-come-easy-go sex is rampant everywhere, I get it. What I don’t get is…”Oh, I love you….forgive me?” I do not like it when those three little words are spoken in vain. I guess, it’s just moi?
We shall see what happens.
They forgive in the church’s but in real life if someone cheats, yes, you may forgive him or her but how could you ever trust them again?
I agree Heidi. I think “once a cheater, always a cheater”, but that applies to Cane as much as it does to Lily. It seems that so many people are quick to point the finger at Lily because she slept with Joe, but if Lauren and Cane were in a hallway at the Athletic Club when they had that hot and heavy kiss, don’t tell me that they wouldn’t have found a room to rip each other’s clothes off. Ever since then they have acted like Lily is crazy for getting upset about the kiss – which makes her more crazy – and they have been giving each other these long, lusty looks from across the room at the Athletic Club. It is only a matter of time before they get together and Cane now has the authority to sit on his high horse because Lily beat him to the punch. It seems bizarre that the expectation is that a kiss should be forgiven and forgotten because it was “just a kiss”.
Christel and Daniel were so amazing yesterday. The scenes were heartbreaking, but I don’t doubt that Lane will find their way back to each other. They just belong together.
Lily feels guilty? Awwww, poor thing. Where was the guilt when she spread her legs and hung on Joe like a monkey?
My ideals are too antiquated for someone my age, I know, so, I am certainly not the right person, nor am I qualified to give any advice. But, I do have an observation….I could never understand how a woman, whose mindset is so starkly different from a man’s, concerning affairs of the heart, falls into bed with someone she does not love. It defies the definition of love. So, it is lust over mind. I can’t stand people who fall prey to stupidity. Oh, I get passion, I get lust, I get how the power of desire can suffocate….but, with someone who holds one’s heart.
This is not within the realm of what love is to me. Foreign concept……how does a woman, who is in love with her mate, cheat on him? Am I so naive? Or are my moral standards too high? Oh, yes, I know this happens all the time…I just do not understand the psychology.
This loose behavior falls under the category of wh%&€. This, from the woman who passed judgment on Lauren?
I suppose this is the direction TPTB want the story to go. Will Cane end up with Lauren, afterall?
As far as Avery? Again, why are all PDs on soaps so inept? They all look like fools….And, whether Joe did it or not (I do not think he did), Neanderthal Dylan does not have the right to hold Joe hostage. What does Paul do? Keeps a blind eye. I would consider that police corruption. Watch out citizens of Genoa City, the real Sasquatch is amongst you!!
This is how they treat rape? Obviously someone raped Avery….look elsewhere, not just Joe…especially if forensics is refutable. Yes, this inability to put two and two together is leading Avery to shoot Joe….will she kill Joe and run off into oblivion? Will this be her exit?
Oh CeeCee, thank you! I was glad I wasnt the only one that noticed Lilly mounting Joe like a long legged ape like creature! It was gross! Some men cheat because they only see women as objects. They get bored. They get drunk and have to stick their chests out and exhume their dominance! As for women, maybe someone can explain that better than I, ie, a woman. I have been single for a while. I’m not a player. I will not get into a relationship until it feels like love. I want to trust who I am with, period. If this is possible, sign me up!
Dearest Timmm.
I have known my husband practically all my life. I was only sixteen when my father finally allowed us to go to a movie. He was twenty, but my parents and his were long-time friends, otherwise, my dad would have never approved.
He was my first and only boyfriend. We have been married seven years; together for thirteen. There has never been any cheating. I do not live in a sheltered world, thus I cannot say my future will be hunky-dory. So far so good. But, I can guarantee that if my husband ever cheated on me? I will not tolerate it….no excuses. It would be an automatic divorce.
So, Timmm. It depends on the woman and your love for each other. I do believe in destiny. If it’s meant to be, it will happen. We cannot base our private life on soaps, albeit they mostly mimic life. I think the writers should be a little more mindful, though….the idea that teens and young adults do not watch soaps is a fallacy. I have nieces, and a seventeen year old sister…they love soaps. My son, who is six, watches with me, and constantly asks me questions about what’s going on…. But, this is what they see…lying and cheating.
I am like you, in that, I cannot even think of doing it with another man. I am so into my husband, it’s scary. Of course, I admire hot guys ( I have one myself) but who does not admire beauty….like a piece of art, yes? LOL. it’s ok to look, I say.
So, for what it’s worth, Timmm. You will meet the woman of your dreams. She’s out there, I promise. Sadly, I’m already taken.LOL.
Tim and Cee Cee, I did see Lily as the aggressor too.
And honestly, she has been acting like the shrew who could never be tamed since Cane married her.
Cane GETS to be angry after Lily’s constant scrutiny of his actions. I do not feel he would have ever kissed Lauren in the park had Lily not gone off on the both of them in public when neither one of them had done anything wrong. It was a case of self fulfilling prophesy.
I’m not a fan of Lily’s but if I had to guess based on what we’ve watched so far, I would say, she is lonely. I wouldn’t call her a whore. I would say she was irresponsible, disrespectful of her husband, children, and herself. Women, just like men, make certain choices and sometimes they make bad choices. Men get away with “being men” and women get branded whores. Lily had been through a lot and had her fairy tale ending even after Cane lied about his mob connections and continually put her and their children in harm’s way. Lily watched her father battle alcoholism, learned that she was the biological child of her uncle Malcolm, not of her beloved Neil, and struggled with trust in her own marriage. Then she watched as an unknown person, who then was revealed to be Hilary, tried to ruin her family through posts on GC Buzz (granted, that storyline was super lame). Then she had to accept that that woman married her father, and then that her beloved brother broke their father’s heart by having an affair with Hilary. And that her husband, whom she queried about it always, knew all along and lied by omission. She has no friends, no mother figure, two kids she never sees…look, none of this absolves her of cheating on Cane. But I think calling her a whore is a bit harsh. That’s all.
Lucia, yes, Lily does seem to be lonely.
I just reread this thread and I did not see where anyone called her a “whore.” I don’t care for that type of language and I honestly don’t think Lily has been very prolific with her sexual escapades.
I did say that she had been acting like a shrew.
As far as Cane being so unforgiving? Well, he’s only known for two hot minutes–the man needs time. Studies show that men have a lot more trouble overcoming their spouse’s infidelity than their female counterparts do. Men are more prone to dwell on the visual aspects of extramarital tryst and look at it as a reflection of their own, ahem, shortcomings (word play not intended).
Moreover, Cane is an Aussie! They tend to be a little macho.
@Harry.
I was the one to call Lily a whore, Harry. Lucia read it correctly. I am sorry if the language offends you. I could have used a more delicate word, but the meaning/intention would be the same. I need not be berated by Lucia, I am not a child. I called it as I saw it. It is a good thing we live in this century, isn’t it, Harry? There was a time women were stoned for having committed adultery. We came a long way, baby!
I would like to point out that I was speaking from my point of view having very antiquated ideals. A thief will be a thief no matter the dollar amount of the theft.
This is how I see women who step out, especially women with with children. The same applies to men. I see no difference. Whether Cane had lust on his mind, he did not sleep with Lauren. This is not a game here ….beat him to the punch? Really? There is a vast difference between a lustful kiss than having sex. Lily is not so pure of mind or heart as everyone seems to think. Have we all forgotten Tyler? She hit the roof about the kiss between Cane and Lauren, rightly so,…..but, what excuse did she have for kissing Tyler?
Lily started pretty young….her affair with Kevin, remember that? He gave her an STD. But, TPTB want us to forget that.
I do not like either of these characters. I used to love Lily, but the writers do not do her justice.
She barely knew Joe. And, he is a friend of Cane’s. She acted irresponsibly…she, being a mother…disgusto!!. I do not care how many men women sleep with…just don’t lose your integrity and dignity by cheating on your spouse. And, to be fair, I have no respect for men who do the same thing.
I am sorry you and Lucia feel this way, but I have described Lily as I see her. Soon enough she will step into Lauren’s trashy shoes. Just my opinion.
When did Cane try to make it right? Only ONE day last week and one day this week thanks to Pratt! He, along with Lauren, belittled Lily for over a month, dismissed her, told her to “get over it” and then presto! Pratt reintroduced the REAL Cane for a couple of days! Not buying it nor am I buying his Baby it wasn’t me act! He lies repeatedly about an old woman he kissed, then kissed Lily the woman he supposedly loves, shows no remorse and doesn’t tell her–very immature for a middle age man! And THEN when confronted with footage of the woman going into his hotel room, the woman who would hump a rock, he gets mad because his wife, per his history, recent and past, doesn’t BELIEVE him? Is he insane? Thank God viewers are not! Cane started it and based upon everything he has done to Lily, the ONS she was woman enough to ADMIT to was nothing considering everything he has done and lied about! He loves Lily? PROVE IT and man up, mature–STOP LYING CANE; FOCUS ON YOUR WIFE! All problems in LANE’s marriage lead back to Cane….and his lies! He should crawl over cut glass to get Lily to trust him.
One more thing; Cane is NOT the victim; Lily is, especially in view of his emotional affair and when he was so cruel he tried to drive her crazy. Lily has forgiven time and time again. Question is can Cane AND own his part in the breakdown of LANE’s marriage this time starting with repeatedly lying about her brother and her step mother for months, despite the fact he promised and Lily begged? His 19 year old child bride has grown up; it is way past time for him to do the same!
Wouldn’t it be great if Daniel came back? Lily was such a different girl with him. She has become an insecure shrew. I do blame Cane for that. However, it does not excuse her cheating. And, Joe definitely crossed the line. With friends like that…….well, you know the rest.
Yeah, it would be great..If Lauren just have to have some guy, then she can have him…
You are right; Lily was a different GIRL, with GIRL being the word! Teenage marriages do not work, especially when his mother kills her mother. Let it go! Daniel belongs with another guy, Kevin maybe? Why do you people keep trying to downgrade Lily back to teen status? She is a grown woman, with two children; a cancer survivor, a romantic lead! Deal with it; if you think Daniel R is so great, put him with Chelsea.
@ Bettina.
I beg you not to refer to me as ‘you people’. I find that very disrespectful. Are you not taking this a bit far into space? It’s a soap. And, this is a site where we exchange thoughts and opinions. I keep repeating the same chant. If you cannot handle the opinions and critiques, then , you get over it!
You have picked the wrong person with whom to spar. As I often say, I bite.
I was speaking in the abstract when mentioning Daniel. He is not on the show anymore, remember? And, if you want to get down to the nitty-gritty, no one knows what happened to Dru. That door was left open. Exactly what are you inferring when you say Daniel should be coupled with Kevin? Measure your words. Sometimes words are too heavy!!
So, Lily’s marriage is an adult one, right? Why doesn’t she act like one? She cheated on her husband. Even teens know the meaning of fidelity.
Please, next time you want to voice an opinion, do it with some respect.
Read Timmm’s post, below. It sums it all up nicely for you. Because she is older and a mother, Lily should not have acted as mindlessly allowing her dignity to be compromised.
Lilly WAS the victim. Now that she cheated she is no better because she is a mother and her actions could some day be a reflection on her children.
What CeeCee said, Really, Bettina, your comment was odd, slightly rude, and stuck an incongruous note with what was stated.
How is wishing Danial back a wish to send Lily back to adolescent land? Danial was a great character. Also, your odd comment that he should be coupled with Kevin is really out of line. Honestly, we want Danial back because he was a great character played by a pretty terrific actor. I also want Danial back to be possibly romantically linked up with another great character, Mariah.
cant believe im actually going to give kudo s to christel for carrying the scene but lily s been on fire lately. Daniel was pretty flat and overall the scene was anticlimatic and not really dramatic.
im tired of lily and co. treating the gcac likes its there personal living room to air their dirty laundry. Each time lily s admitted to ‘wanting to get drunk’ but instead screwing joe, i cringe a lil because it proves the writings amateur with respect to lily knowing better since her fathers a recovering alcholic and as well living through a affair that divided a family. ( hilary/ devon)
Pratt again missed the mark in which it wouldve been much more intresting if the affair secret dragged on and somehow hilary uncovered it
overall the situation is a step up from the boring lily , cane wedded bliss shit but im really still hoping for the sexy and gorgeous redaric williams to return as tyler for lily, i thought they were hot together!!
Damien….I do not follow your first sentence. Can you elaborate? Daniel was flat? Daniel is not on the show anymore. Did you mean Cane? If so, yup; I definitely agree with you. He has taken Lily’s youth from her….and, her spark.
The acting was decent and Lane needed some angst but I don’t want Lauren in the middle of this Lane mess. It still irritates me that Y&R used prostate cancer to break up Likey and turn Michael into a jerk to his beloved Lauren.
Lauren is in it, she’s kind of one of the problems…Whether you want her to be in it or not, she is….
Daniel Goddard and Christel Khalil did a fabulous job with those scenes..we need to see more of them..
That was just one scene. But, this couple was wrong from the beginning.
No, she should not have chested, but, if Joe is to remain on the show….I think he and a Lily makes a much more titillating couple than Lane.
They will get back together there is no one else to hook them up with.
two months of love gone wrong drama and they will be back together..
I don’t care for either one of these two people but a happy couple don’t make it on a soap so I guess he’ll end up with Lauren, but what happens when Michael is completely better and his mojo is working again? Good grief he’ll want her back. I do hope after all the dirt she through at Hilary & Devon they throw it back at her.
I agree with you, Nikki, of course.
But, the difference between Lily’s and Hilary’s peccadillo Is the fact that Hilary cheated on her husband with her husband’s “son”…..that’s a REAL BIGGIE, I think, no?
I totally agree but I don’t think anyone in Genoa City is squeaky clean. I can’t think of anyone who hasn’t had an affair. If I recall correctly didn’t Hilary start to fall for Devon before she married Neil & Devon didn’t want to be Neil’s best man because he was already in love with her. I don’t think either one of them should be let off the hook but look around at the rest of them.
Hillary and Devon deserved everything they got and more…And Hillary deserved to be slapped into the next century for drugging Lily’s husband and trying to ruin the life of someone she never even knew existed…and until that witch apologizes to Lily for the crap she did, she deserves whatever comes her way and more…
Hillary and Devon should be the last ones to throw stones at anyone, esp Hillary, sleeping with father and son at the same time, sleeping with the DA to get said husband off of a charge of something, and Devon should be slapped for even thinking of being with that woman again…
It has been thought by some viewers I know that Pratt might do a serial rapist storyline and have Michael be found out to be the culprit? With Pratt anything is possible he likes to shock that’s for sure.
Slapped into the next century! No I don’t believe in being abusive. You also must have missed an episode Hilary has already apologized to Lily for what she did to Cane as well as her dad.
I agree with you to the letter, Barbara!!!!
ohh want to say–
JOE IS INNOCENT !!
and Pratt will make sure poor Joe has his revenge ..
It could get really nasty bad! (goodie! .. 😉
Nikki… Hillary has never apologized to Lily, please direct me to where she did..she apologized to everyone except Lily….
ohh geez !
Sharon to Avery.. ”I was raped too!
Christine to Avery.. ”I was raped too!
They should throw Avery in a room with all the raped women of Y&R.. a counseling thing..
Now, that would be interesting..
General Hospital
Kelly Sullivan Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’s’ Maura West Recalling When Ava Shot Connie (Exclusive)
It was just over 13 years ago on General Hospital when Ava Jerome (Maura West) shot and killed Kate Howard/Connie Falconeri (Kelly Sullivan) in an effort to keep her quiet from revealing that Derek Wells was actually Ava’s back-from-the-dead brother, Julian Jerome (William deVry). It’s a crime that somehow Ava never has quite paid for either.
The episode back aired on August 13, 2013 and viewers had to say goodbye to Kelly Sullivan who played Kate and her alter, Connie. In the story, just before she died, Kate/Connie scrawled the letters AJ in her own blood, initially making the PCPD and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) think that it was AJ Quatermaine (Sean Kanan) who did the deed.
Now, Sullivan recalled sharing scenes with the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning West, during a live conversation on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel. Kelly was the special guest talking about her recent return to the soaps in her new role as The Bold and the Beautiful’s Darcy Dylan.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF MAURA WEST
Speaking of her final GH scenes and working with Maura West, Sullivan gave her then GH co-star major props. “If you’re going to be shot by somebody (on the soaps), you want to be shot by Maura West, c’mon!”
Maura West debuted back in May 2013 as Ava, and Sullivan remembered when the As the World Turns favorite began on GH. “I remember when Maura West first arrived at GH. She walked in with this cute little bob (hairdo) and she’s just delicious,” shared Sullivan.
A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
Kelly revealed more about Maura, adding “I think she’s amazing! I remember right before I left the show, someone suggested, and I would still love to do this with her, if she ever want to, but someone suggested that they wanted to direct the stage play A Streetcar Named Desire with Maura and I, where I would play Stella and she would play Blanche! Wouldn’t that be great?”
Speaking of the Ava/Connie showdown scenes, Sullivan expressed, “On television and on General Hospital specifically, Maura West is able to play a character who does the most horrendous things and you still care about her and that’s the mark of a really great actor. In other words, you’re able to be liked in the midst of the most horrendous things, and as a performer not shying away from that, and to just have the courage to do what’s on the page (in the script).”

KELLY SULLIVAN PARTING THOUGHTS AS SHE LEFT GENERAL HOSPITAL
Kelly also shared her sentiments when she walked off the set of General Hospital after her run back in August of 2013. “I really was honored. Every day I would go to work and I would say a little prayer, which is I want to do justice for my character, explained Kelly. “It’s between me and my character. I get to walk this path with her and to leave the show on that note, which is, I left every out there. I just gave it my all and again what an honor it was to play Kate/Connie.”
You can catch the full conversation with Kelly where she talks about her time on General Hospital, The Young and the Restless where she played Sage Warner and now The Bold and the Beautiful below.
So, do you remember the Ava and Connie scenes where Ava shot and killed her? What did you think of Kelly Sullivan’s sentiments about Maura West? Share your thoughts via the comment section. But first, watch the reveal where Ava recalls murdering Connie below!
The question of will Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) stay awhile at General Hospital after his recent extended hiatus from the show earlier this year, has reportedly been answered.
TMZ via court documents obtained in Burton’s ongoing legal battle with his ex-wife Sheree Gustin, shared that Steve actually inked a new three year deal with the ABC soap opera back in June.
That is significant because it was June when Burton returned back to work as Jason. In addition, the court filing confirmed that Burton had already moved back to California from Tennessee.

STEVE’S HIATUS AND HIS RETURN TO PORT CHARLES
GH fans will recall, it was back in February of 2026, that Burton announced via his Instagram that he was stepping away from his role of Jason Morgan for short break and pointed to wanting to spend quality time with his new wife, Michelle Lundstrom Burton with whom he tied the knot back on May 17, 2025.
Steve expressed at that time, “I’m newly married and looking forward to spending some quality time with my family.” It was back on March 25 that viewers saw Jason carted away by the WSB after taking the fall for Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) who shot then WSB Director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).
Burton returned to work on June 1, and due to General Hospital taping roughly six weeks ahead of air, made his on-screen comeback on the July 13 episode.
GOING FOR GOLD AT THE UPCOMING DAYTIME EMMYS
Then, Steve and his enduring fans got an extra special treat on the same day, when it was revealed on Extra that he was nominated for the upcoming 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Daytime Drama Series category.
Steve previously won in the Supporting Actor category for his work as General Hospital’s Jason in 1998 and as The Young and the Restless’ Dylan McAvoy in 2018.
Now with Jason and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship seemingly hitting the skids, plus Jason’s commitment to staying out of mob life to focus on being present for his son Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn), what does the future hold for the fan favorite character? Stay tuned.
So, happy to hear that Steve Burton signed a new three year deal with General Hospital? Knowing that, what storyline would you like to see Jason get involved and with who? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.
The Young and the Restless enduring favorite and two-time Daytime Emmy-winning actress, Jess Walton (Jill Foster Abbott) is set to release her memoir!
Kensington Publishing has revealed on their website that Walton’s book The Young and the Rest of Us is now available for pre-order while listing an April 27, 2027 release date. In addition, in June of 2027, Walton will mark her 40th anniversary with The Young and the Restless and her debut as Jill.
The official log lines for the memoir share, “Emmy Award-winning actress Jess Walton, known to millions as the iconic Jill Abbott on the #1 soap opera The Young and the Restless, shares her extraordinary journey to stardom, sobriety, true love, and self-discovery in this startingly candid, intimate, and star-studded memoir.”

CAKE FIGHTS AND CORPORATE INTRIGUE
The book description for The Young and the Rest of Us adds, “In June 1987, Jess Walton walked through the artists’ entrance at CBS for her first day on The Young and the Restless,where she had just been hired to play the recast role of Jill Abbott. Two Emmy awards, four decades, and countless onscreen affairs, marriages, corporate takeovers, and cake fights later, she’s a beloved icon with an astonishing tale to tell.”
“In her refreshingly candid style, Jess shares her journey as a young actress from Toronto theaters to Los Angeles, where she found herself at the center of a Laurel Canyon circle that included the likes of Neil Young, David Geffen, Laura Nyro, and Joni Mitchell. Landing a Universal contract and a steady stream of guest starring roles, Jess embraced everything 1970s L.A. had to offer—including Hollywood parties fueled by limitless booze and drugs, and trysts with stars. She recounts with candor and gratitude the surprising path that eventually led her to sobriety, true love—and ultimately, to fictional Genoa City, Wisconsin, and the role of a lifetime.”
“Brimming with behind-the-scenes drama and celebrity cameos to delight fans, The Young and the Rest of Us is also rich in personal, relatable truths about marriage, motherhood, empty-nesting, self-discovery, and finding the courage to start over—as often as it takes. In a voice as fearless and frank as Jill’s, but with, humor and grace all her own, Jess Walton looks back on a life as unpredictable, and adventure filled as anything she has portrayed on screen.”
