What is the cryptic message Claire Grace (Hayley Erin) just gave Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott), as she spiked her bosses tea with some unknown substance? That’s the question on viewers of The Young and the Restless following Tuesday’s episode.

Claire’s plan is in full motion. Clearly, she is in cahoots with someone else. So far, she has successfully been able to get Nikki to make a stop in Oregon to visit Claire’s “Aunt Jordan”, who Claire says idolizes Nikki.

When they get to her Aunt’s house, Jordan is nowhere to be found.  However, there is conveniently a note left behind and a teapot with some teacups. Claire tells Nikki her aunt is not home, but Jordan prepared this tea for her guests while she is out.

Engaging in ‘pleasantries’ in a conversation about Claire’s life growing up, Nikki sips more and more tea.  She notices Claire doesn’t take a sip. Claire says she musr confess. She is not a tea drinker.

Suddenly, Nikki is oft-kilter and feeling ill.  She spills the tea all over the floor.  Nikki looks at Clare, and she’s all blurry and distorted. A frightened Nikki says, “I really don’t feel well at all.” An ominous Claire responds. “It’s OK. Soon, everything will be as it should.” Nikki responds, “What do you mean?”

Next, Nikki tries to get up but falls.  She panics and says, “I don’t understand. What is happening?” Claire just glares at her.

Previously, Claire spoke to whoever is working or plotting with her on a call, relating that she understands how important the mission is and she’ll do whatever is necessary. What is the mission?

They move these villain plots along WAY too fast. There is no build up. Ashland left way too soon. Cameron Kirsten was an unfilled plot that could’ve went much longer. Now this Claire Grace girl. And I am sure her revenge reasoning will be WEAK. This show needs a NEW writer.

I have been going nuts trying to figure out why Claire has this mission against Nikki. It’s definitely something connected from Nikki’s past.

I have a strong feeling that this girl.is truly related to the lady who wanted to kill
Nicky all those years ago.when the evil.woman had a thing for Victor his old secretary her niece an the lady wanted an plotted to kill. Nicky on her wedding day to Victor way back when but she never succeeded or pulled it off she killed some one else instead wow please tell me am l right or wrong will see how this planned out

You are absolutely right. I remember that scenario. This is the most logical story line as that is what happened.

My theory is that somehow Claire is related to Nikki’s sister, Casey Reed, who is looking to get revenge on Nikki for something from their past. Or, maybe she is Ian Ward’s daughter?

Does Nick realize that he and Faith would be dead if not for Adam. So sick of Queen Victoria being handed everything on a silver platter by Victor. Also, sick of stripper Nikki looking down at Adam. Adam is the one who has done the work. Wake up Victor !!!!

Yes I’m sick of them too. Victoria wants to be boss.Adam is Victor child he deserves something a position in the Neiman business. With out them rising hell.

Love the actress, hate the storyline. Clair would have been competition for Sally with Adam. Writers “missed the boat” on this one. We really need an equal for Adam !!! As far as Newman kids fighting, Victor is the one who instigated this. Grow up Victor and your children will follow ! They are NOT chess pieces !!!

I do not care for this character. I find her too gushing and over the top/ When Nikki introduced her to Victor, I thought she was going to curtsey LOL She is not believable. I do agree with Richard about Ashland being gone too soon – would have made a great foil for TGVN, as well as the Kirsten sl being so short. This one, however, I would be happy to see the character go sooner rather than later.

It’s about time Nikki get pay back for her crime drunk and driving she probably hit somebody while drunk I hope it’s Billy daughter she hit while driving

Must say I didn’t think of Delia. Regardless of whomever hit the child, Billy is not blameless, he left her alone in the car when he went into the store and she got out to chase the dog they had found. I was thinking it was someone related to Claire and Aunty years ago while Nicki was in on one of her drunken binges. Didn’t Clair say when she was first interviewed by Nicki that her parents were killed in an auto crash, sorry I’ve forgotten?

Nicki didn’t hit Billy’s Daughter

Claire bugs me so it’s easy to hate her.

If I’m not mistaken, when Nikki was a child, she accidentally killed a friend of hers (Joshua Cassen, I believe.) Maybe Claire could be a relative getting revenge?

I hate to mention the elephant in the room… but my worst fear here is that Claire is Nick Reed’s daughter with Casey Reed. Remember, before Nikki killed him, he had raped Casey—per her own admission. She was a doctor, and young in her residency… maybe she ended up going through with the pregnancy and giving the baby up for adoption? That wouldn’t explain Aunt Jordan at all, I realize. This is so disturbing I can’t even stand thinking it. I truly hope I’m wrong.

I remember that SL, but that would be Incest, right? J I thought that pig was both Nicki and Casey’s father?

I remember that SL too.

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

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.
