The Young and the Restless seems to be toying with a potential romance between amnesiac Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) and Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford).  Now, on all-new episodes of the top-rated soap opera, the official Y&R Preview for the week of June 22-26, shows a moment where Matt attempts to ask Phyllis out on a date!

The two are sitting at the GCAC having drinks. Suddenly, Matt says. “Once upon a time, there was a man who had no memory. And he met a woman. And then he asks her out on a date.” Phyllis looks at first confused, but then inquisitive? Would Phyllis even dare go out with Matt given what he has done to the former love of her life and father to her daughter, Summer, the one and only Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow)?

If Y&R head writer, Josh Griffith does plan to go there, does Phyllis somehow fall in love with this guy, because she did see him come to the rescue of Nick when he OD’d? But, would Phyllis date Sharon’s (Sharon Case) rapist?

GENERAL HOSPITAL’S FRANCO AND NINA

This isn’t the first time that Daytime Emmy winners, Roger Howarth and Michelle Stafford have appeared on a soap as a romantic pairing? Look no further than then January of 2016  when both appeared on ABC’s General Hospital, when after months of dancing around their sexual tension, Franco Baldwin and Nina Reeves had sex.  The two characters had quite the unstable past which drew them together.

After the sex scene aired on GH, and the series moved the relationship between the duo (known on social media as #nico) forward, Michelle Stafford spoke to Michael Fairman TV where she shared on working with Howarth.

At that time, Stafford expressed, “What woman doesn’t want to see Roger Howarth on-screen?  He’s super sexy, and that is just that! (Laughs) With Roger, I am going to get a really great actor to work with, who likes to play, and really can act. I appreciate that about him. I am just really interested to see what the writers are ultimately going to do with these two characters.”

When addressing, why it took so long for Franco and Nina to hit the sheets, Stafford acknowledged, “You have to address it, because the audience is going to go, ‘Why are these two hot characters not ‘doing’ it’ These are two adults. It doesn’t make sense.  They are so in love, and they are not consummating anything.  So, when they made Nina so insecure about it, and being able to communicate to Franco how she felt, I thought, ‘OK, this works.’  She was scared, and that’s true. We are all scared when we sleep with someone we love for the first time.  There is not one person who does not feel that way.  I loved that about her.  The woman in the audience really responded to that. They loved that there was a character who was afraid to hop in bed.  It was refreshing to them, and that was the consensus.”

Y&R’s MATT AND PHYLLIS STAND A GHOST OF A CHANCE AT ROMANCE?

Take a look at the Y&R video preview for next week below.

Someone has to be kidding, right? I don’t think that Roger Howarth’s character is the only one in Genoa City with amnesia. Glad I no longer waste my time on this nonsense. Griffith is still killing this once great show.

He learns nothing GH twisted theirselves in Knots to keep RH on. If you wanted him so badly why write him in as a character that we saw die on screen and is that all he can do is play a rapist. Nick makes me vomit he raped the mother of your children and I know your father does not care but you should.

They made both Baldwin men good guys it’s nothing new but I’m in this climate of what is going on just tired of it . You could have brought Roger on to the show as anybody but why a rapist he has been one on OLTL and GH now Y&R. Trying to figure out our country and I discovered I can’t stand politicians or actors . Let us have some peace let us talk to our maker and leave us alone . We pray every nite that our country will find peace . God is patient he has been with me hope he sweeps in and answers our prayers start living each orher

In other words she gets to see him every day the man who raped her twice like I said if you wanted the actor you should have made him another character

Let’s hope ABC gets Roger back soon

That’s not likely. Three strikes, he’s out.

In retrospect, the smart move would have been to make him “Austin” the first time around. OLTL characters never belonged on General Hospital, and literally NOBODY asked for a Franco recast, much less a neutering of the character, attempting to whitewash a serial killer terrorist with a “brain tumor” and some “magic DVDs”. “Frodd Baldwin the family man & child art therapist” was NEVER going to be a viable character

A doctor with ties to the Quartermaine family would have been a viable character in 2012. Might have even been one when they finally went that route, except then they threw him under the bus with that whole “Pawtuck Mafia” stupidity, which was made even dumber with the Skinhead Mason cousin, and the fact that they talked about a female relative being their boss for months, until one day Cyrus the Virus was running the show and the unnamed woman was never mentioned again.

You really think a 4th character would be the answer?

To play what – a 4th character? ABC told Frank that he could not bring back Todd.

No. I still hold a tiny bit of hope for OLTL v3, and would like him to play Todd Manning again.

We have judges politicians who seem to have no problem putting people back out on the street that have done horrible crimes you need to snap out of it I now pack a gun yes I’m legal because I’m frightened and we should not live in a country that we are scared to walk out of our home.

I hate the Matt and Phyllis pairing. It’s so ick. Please end his story arc and put him in jail. I can’t stand when he is on the canvas. His core is evil and he does not deserve to be a permanent resident of Genoa City. Please put him in jail and end his storyline.

General Hospital

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, everything points to Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) emerging from the water able to talk (which we already know he can after Friday’s cliffhanger) and walk, but will it come to fruition?

According to the just released ABC promo for the week of July 27-July 31, several women in Port Charles are in for a shock, but is it Drew coming for payback to Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Willow (Katelyn MacMullen)?

First, in the video preview, after pushing a wheelchair-bound Drew into the lake at the Quartermaine boathouse, Nina looks mortified for what she’s done. She apparently goes to her new beau Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) for help. We hear Jack say to Nina, “You pushed Drew’s wheelchair into the lake?” A freaked out Nina begs Jack to. “help me cover this up!”

Suddenly, we see a moment of a stunned Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) at the hospital, Trina (Tabyana Ali) on edge at the Metro Court pool, and Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) coming to her grandmother Alexis Davis’ (Nancy Lee Grahn) house and standing tn the doorway stunned, calling out, “Dad!”

Last and certainly not least, Willow is down on the floor of the Cain living room in the dark and is startled, As she turns what seems most likely towards the door, what does she see? Is Drew back in action? Stay tuned.

Take a look at the official GH spoilers for the week below.

Britt and Jason reunite. Willow is horrified. Ava comes clean with Ethan. Nina turns to Jack for help. Valentin makes a trade.

This week on all-new episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful, viewers will learn the upshot of the relationship between Will (Crew Morrow) and Electra (Laneya Grace) and Will and Dylan (Sydney Bullock). Last Friday’s cliffhanger saw Will giving in to Dylan’s seduction as she tries to “comfort” him from his latest break-up with Electra, thanks to the Forresters, no less.

Now in The Bold and the Beautiful video spoilers for the week of July 27-31, Dylan wakes up next to Will on the couch and she says, “Good morning.” But what actually happened? Did they have sex? According to the official B&B spoilers below, Electra will draw a firm line over Dylan’s relationship with Will.

Meanwhile, Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) is becoming more obsessed with trying to process why Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is blocking her from being in her son and grandson’s life. Clearly, she’s not remembering all the terror she brought to Steffy. But by the end of the week, will Finn (Tanner Novlan) have once again softened towards his mother as much as he told Steffy he would stand firm and keep her away from their family?

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS Preview: Phyllis Helps Matt to Freedom, Nick Has a Setback, Cane Gets His Shot at Love with Lily

Published

Phyllis, Matt, Nick and Cane

Next week on The Young and the Restless spoilers indicate that: Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) tries to deal with her seeming new reality of being blind, when things take yet another unexpected turn. Will Nikki get her sight back in full and it was only temporary blindness post-procedure? Can she and Victor (Eric Braeden) finally put everything behind them and be happy with each other once again? Stay tuned.

Meanwhile, Nick (Joshua Morrow) is itching for pills as his addiction is not under control, and after seeing Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) and Matt (Roger Howarth) kissing, it sent him over the edge. Can he control his dependency? Doesn’t look like it especially by the end of next week.

Speaking of Phyllis and Matt, in the Y&R video teaser for the action on episodes airing July 27 – July 31, Phyllis has somehow pulled the ankle monitor off of Matt’s ankle. “We did it. We got it off. You’re free as a bird,” proclaims Phyllis.

PHYLLIS KNOWS HOW NICK FEELS ABOUT MATT, BUT IT SEEMS SHE WON’T PUT ON THE BRAKES

Now comes the question; without having Victor’s monitoring system in place, will Matt hightail it out of Genoa City… or stay put and continue to test this potential romance with Phyllis,? If so, Matt could certainly, amnesia or no amneisa, get under Nick’s skin in the worst and most lethal way.

Elsewhere, Cane (Billy Flynn) is feeling the renewed interest from his ex-wife Lily Winters (Christel Khalil). In the Y&R video teaser, he says to her, “You made me CEO of Chancellor, and now you’ve invited me over. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you were starting to like me.” Lily coyly gives a smile, but clearly a potential rendezvous may be forthcoming. Is a “Lane” reunion in the works … finally?

Then, Abby is back when Melissa Ordway makes a return to the CBS soap opera. Daniel (Michael Graziadei) comes upon Abby and says, “You look like you could use a friend. Settle for me?” Recently, Devon’s (Bryton James) mood swings have caused trouble in her relationship and she breaks down in tears. Abby and Daniel once were an item. If Devon found out that Daniel was there to comfort Abby, would he have another mood swing and take it out on Abby or Daniel?

Take a look at the official Y&R spoilers for the week of July 27-31 below.

Monday, July 27
Victor holds Adam and Chelsea accountable for actions, Billy and Sally keep secrets from each other, and Audra celebrates a win.

Tuesday, July 28

Now weigh-in: What do you think will happen with the state of Nikki’s eyesight and her relationship with Victor? Do you want Cane and Lily back together? Are you down with Phyllis and Matt as a couple, or do you want them to end now, especially because Phyllis seems to have no respect for her past with Nick in this instance.
