THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Aunt Jordan Escapes Through a Vent

By Michael Fairman

Wednesday’s November 29th episode of The Young and the Restless, served to set-up story for months to come and revealed its ultimate purpose for fans of the long-running daytime drama series.

In the end, the takeaway was: Aunt Jordan (Colleen Zenk) lives to see another day and will come back to terrorize the Newmans (Giving viewers Sheila Carter-vibes, who gets away with everything), Claire (Hayley Erin) is left unraveled and misguided, which upon investigation could lead her to be forgiven by Victoria (Amelia Heinle), Cole (J. Eddie Peck) and the rest of the family and eventually welcomed into the family as “Eve”, and puts Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott), the way many viewers like to see her … battling the bottle.

To get to those points, here’s what went down: After Jordan slashed Nick (Joshua Morrow) with a knife, and he tumbles down the stairs, he is bleeding out and Cole and Victoria try to help him through being poisoned along with Victor (Eric Braeden) and Nick.

Upstairs, Victor who had found Nikki, sees Jordan with a bloody knife.  He shouts at her to put the knife down. Jordan fires back, “Put the knife down? You’re giving me orders, Victor Newman, after what you did to my sister?!” Victor argues that her sister tried to kill Nikki!

Going on about Claire and raising her, Jordan seethes “I loved her. I gave her guidance. I gave her purpose.” Victor says, “You turned that girl into a monster.” Jordan gloats as the poison is taking effect and Victor will die shortly.

Downstairs, Claire is shocked and panicked. Victoria pleads with her to help them. Claire laments how this, “wasn’t supposed to be this way,” and how her goal was to hurt them emotionally as she waited 20 years for Victoria to admit how she left her as a child and never looked backed. Claire did all this with Aunt Jordan to hear Victoria say that she’s sorry.

Victoria says that she is sorry. She is sorry for the lies Jordan told her and the ways she was raised with so much hate. A gut-wrenched Victoria says, that she and Cole loved their baby, and when she died they were devastated.

Victor makes his move on Jordan as he and Nikki escape the upstairs bedroom and lock Jordan in it.  Victoria cries when Victor brings Nikki downstairs. Claire asks where her Aunt Jordan is.  And in the line of the episode, Victor says, “Who cares about that bitch!” Victoria pleads with Claire to turn this situation around for herself, and to save everyone, and she will help her. Cole promises that as well.

Claire walks to the drawer containing their phone, and pulls out vials containing the antidotes to the poison they drank. Nick struggles to get to his phone and calls 911.

A confused Cole ask Victoria if their baby Eve is dead. She confirms, “Our baby, Eve, is dead.”  Claire just sits and cries. Eventually, the paramedics arrive where they handcuff Claire. When the Newmans ask if the cops located Aunt Jordan, they tell them they searched the house and she is nowhere to be found.

As Claire’s is being led out by the cops, she says she doesn’t really know who she is anymore and, “I’m sorry.”  Victor says she’s nuts likes her aunt. As everyone is being led out of the house, the camera pans up to an air vent revealing Aunt Jordan’s eye glaring and watching. We fade to black.

So, what did you think of this episode? Will Claire be confirmed to be Eve? Will Jordan devise another plot to destroy the Newmans given we know Colleen Zenk is still taping at Y&R? Will Nikki drink herself into a stupor very shortly? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

This all-too-brief-storyline in OR was so wack-o! It got me to watch this otherwise boring show again after so many years away. Colleen Zenk was delicious! If she’s going to continue on this show, then I’m back as well.

Agree with everything you said. Back to the usual boring Y&R today, BTW

I thought the show was the most exciting , since that creep came after Sharon a while ago.

Storyline is wild for sure Coleen Zenk was great to watch look forward to her return

It’s wild how this show can be so exciting and drama-filled one day, and so dreadfully boring the next. Colleen Zenk has said that she’s been filming for several weeks, so Jordan will certainly be back. As for Claire, I think she will turn out to be Victoria and Cole’s daughter after all. Otherwise, what’s the point of this story? And hopefully Jordan won’t meet a similar end as Ashland Lock and Jeremy Starke – killing them off was a mistake, as they would have made excellent long-term villains.

It’s November Sweeps, not meant to be a long term story line.Some things you claim may turn out to be true but a don’t see a ” future” for Ms.Zenk, she came, she saw, she conquered, just what she was supposed to do and possibly provide a way for Claire to become a Newman. On the other hand, I hope they get rid of Tucker and he doesn’t become one of what you call a ” long-term villain”. I hate this guy, poisons everything he touches. I just hope Jack doesn’t wind up killing him for what he’s doing to his family.

I noticed that Victoria was giving some bottled liquid ‘things’ to Victor, Nick and Nikki.
What the heck was that?

If you had really been watching , you’ld have seen Claire give the bottles of antidotes to Victoria to give everyone., except Nicki because she wasn’t poisoned, just given alcohol in a drip.

Oh ok. Thx 🙂

Late as usual. Glad this section is somewhat over. Nikki was incredible. The whole thing was too off the mark for me. I must keep remembering that this is a “Soap.” My way of viewing can’t even keep track of everyone’s name.

Some people call things boring. Perhaps. However, I would like to see a few real live issues dealt with.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Has Dylan’s Mystery Caller/Stalker Been Revealed to Be an Alive Luna Nozawa?

Published

We have another scream machine on her hands at The Bold and the Beautiful after the dramatic ending of the May 1 episode, and that would be Dylan (Sydney Bullock)!

B&B is finally making some headway on just who was the person behind the mystery call that Dylan received telling her they have some “unfinished business.” At the time of the mysterious call, it was clear that the voice was altered to disguise the true identify of the person on the the other line.

On today’s show, after Dylan and Electra (Laneya Grace) exchange words in the wardrobe room about Dylan wanting to rebuild their trust and friendship and how Electra has issues stemming from way back trusting anyone after what Remy (Christian Weissmanm) did to her by befriending her and then plastering deep fake nude photos of her across social media.

The timing of Electra bringing up Remy is also interesting to us, as we had previously reported now that Christian Weissmann is back and on on contract with The Bold and the Beautiful, he’s already teased that Remy has another connection to someone on the canvas, which many are still believing its Dylan.

At the end of the episode, after Electra leaves the room, Dylan hears noises coming from behind the dress rack. She asks, “Jamie” is that with you? After no answer and a bit more hangar and dress ruffling, a figure steps out behind it, while Dylan is looking down at her tablet trying to get back to work.

When Dylan looks up, she lets out a scream that could be heard to Nebraska, as viewers see partial view of what looks to be a woman with long dark hair from the back. Dylan in shock, says, “It’s you!” We fade to black.

So, what’s going on here? Is the reason the caller said to her that we have “unfinished business” because on Monday, it will be revealed to actually be an alive and well, Luna (Lisa Yamada)? Did the two strikes some sort of deal, that allowed Dylan to help Luna escape after Luna supposedly died after Dylan ran her down with her car, which was all off-screen? Another theory, is the mystery caller is Remy and he is doing some sort of Luna fakeout on Dylan for a yet to be revealed reason.

What do you think is going on? Did Lisa Yamada just make an on-screen return to The Bold and the Beautiful? Share your thoughts and theories below, but first check out our recent interview from back in March on the Michael Fairman Channel when Lisa who attended the BBTV app launch party.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Nick Confesses His Drug Problem to Victor; Joshua Morrow, Mark Grossman, Eric Braeden Bring the Newman Bond

Published

When The Young and the Restless can deliver an emotional side to their stories and their family dynamics, it usually makes for some great scenes delivered by their A-list cast.

Such was the case on the Friday, May 1 episode when Adam (Mark Grossman) and Nick (Joshua Morrow) returned to Genoa City and gave their father, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), an update on what had gone down with Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) in Las Vegas.

As Victor questioned, “What the hell happened?” Nick piped up, “We both made mistakes along the way, but we’re here now and we’re sorry for giving you so much worry on top of everything else that you’re dealing with,” which was in reference to Victor trying to reclaim his company Newman Enterprises et al.

NICK’S CONFESSION

Next, Nick, explains one of the ways he messed up while trying to go after Matt Clark, when he admitted to this father with tears in his eyes, “That’s one of the ways I messed up … I took Fentanyl willingly. Some of it was because of Matt, but most of it was on me. I was in a lot of pain, dad, after my accident, I was burning through my prescription meds really quickly after I left the hospital. I could see that it was becoming a problem. But honestly, I thought that I could manage it.  I was wrong. I was out in LA and Matt had taken Noah (Lucas Adams) and Sienna (Tamara Braun) and he gave me this bag of pills and said I could use it to trade for information. When I went out to that drug warehouse, he was trying to convince me and Sharon (Sharon Case) that Noah was a drug addict. I just put the pills in my pocket of my jacket and I came back to Genoa City and I was in a lot of pain, dad, and I was wearing that jacket. I put my hands in the pocket and the pills were there.”

Nick sadly added, “I was desperate. I couldn’t get anymore prescription meds, so I took the fentanyl  I’m deeply ashamed that I was so weak, but all I can do is stand here and tell you the truth that I’m going to make this right and I’ll get better.”

BROTHER TO BROTHER

Adam stood up for his brother and reconfirmed to Victor the plan for help Nick through his pill addiction, “Nick is already on his way to doing that. Sharon has set up an appointment with an outpatient facility. He’s going to do the meetings and he’s going to push through this better than ever.”

Courtesy/CBS

“You should also know that the only reason I’m standing here is because of Adam,” Nick confessed to Victor. “Every time I fell, you were there to pick me up. You risked your life to save me, and that’s not something I will ever forget.”

In the climatic and emotional ending of the scene, Nick in tears admits his shame to his dad, who comes in to give him hug. Nick says, “I’m so sorry. I know that this is the last thing you or this family needs.”

All three actors, Joshua Morrow, Mark Grossman and Eric Braeden, were excellent in this exchange in their scenes, but at its epicenter continues to be the Emmy-worthy performances by Y&R MVP, Joshua Morrow. Nick’s heartbreaking journey and fall from grace with his pill addiction problem has finally shown the clinks in the armor of the man who is always on the ready to help others … now he needs to let others help him through this. Can we do it?

So, what did you think of the scenes between the Newman man featuring Joshua, Mark and Eric on the Friday episode of Y&R? And though who watched also know that at the very end, Matt Clark who clearly has been injured wakes up from being conked out, so there is more revenge to come on the Newman clan. Share your thoughts below, but take a look at these scenes from a Canadian viewers who saw them air yesterday.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Sophia Seemingly Plans to End Her Life, But Not Before Setting Fire to Johnny’s Apartment With Him Trapped Inside

Published

By

The final few moments of the Thursday, April 30 episode of Days of our Lives, will pave the way, to what just may be the end of Sophia Choi’s (Rachel Boyd) life, but not as you may think!

After an unhinged Sophia paid a visit to Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), maced him in the eyes, knocked him out and then tied up to a chair, now conscious, she lets him know that she holds him responsible for all the trouble and trauma she has gone through from adopting her child, and her being sent to a mental institution.

So instead of the unregistered gun Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) gave her to finish off Johnny, Sophia sets up a plan to light candle, use nail polish remover and turn on the gas on the stove to ultimately create a mass explosion, which although Johnny pleaded to her not to that to all the innocent people inside his apartment building, she doesn’t seem to care.

FIERY FACE OFF

The plan was supposed to be, after she takes care of Johnny she will toss the gun in the Salem River, then focus on payback to Holly Jonas before leaving town to start a new life.

Now, Sophia makes her exit, leaving Johnny to be a few moments away from an explosion or gas inhalation, when Chanel (Raven Bowens) comes home after awaiting the results of her mammogram. She sees Johnny tied up, as he panics and tells her to put out the flame on the candle, things go awry, and a fire has begun and everything may go up in flames with Johnny and Chanel inside.

A BROKEN SOPHIA

Back in her room, Sophia breaks down after reading the social media comments about her, she planted, and then starts writing a suicide or farewell note which says. “I’m tired of begging for forgiveness for my mistakes. All I wanted was to move forward, to be loved and understood. But it’s clear that I was never going to get that. Holly Jonas said that I was dead to her. So, as her former BFF, I’m going to make her dream a reality.”

A DEADLY TRAP

Now, the fate of Johnny, Chanel and Sophia will be revealed on tomorrow’s May 1st cliffhanger, which may be the end of Sophia when she crosses paths with Kirsten at the bridge near the river. We do know Rachel Boyd is no longer appearing in the show credits section and is now off contract with the soap.

So, what did you think of the climatic final moments of DAYS? What did you think of the performance of Rachel Boyd as Sophia Choi? Let us know via the comment section.
