Y&R’s Jack and Diane Renew Their Vows; But How Long Will This Union Last?
On Monday’s episode of The Young and the Restless, Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) and Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) renewed their wedding vows as their son, Kyle (Michael Mealor) officiated over the ceremony.
With everyone gathered at the Abbott estate, Jack and Diane call everyone to attention. Jack shares that because he loves his bride so much, he wants to marry her all over again right now with the help of his son, and in front of all of his family and friends as witnesses. Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott), who gets the ‘best line of the episode’ award, under her breath, utters, “How fun.”
As they stand in front of everyone, Jack tells Diane just how blessed he feels that they have found their way back to each other. He admits he never thought he would feel such joy again and thanks God for Diane and the way she loves him.

An emotional Diane shares that Jack is such a patient and compassionate man. He’s changed her life and she’s grateful for him every day, and for showing her what it means to be a true partner. She promises to always be there for him and to fight for him.
Kyle can’t think of a better place for these vows to have taken place than at their family home. Once Jack and Diane have finished, Kyle says that by the power vested in him by the internet and the state of Wisconsin, that he pronounces them man and wife.

Afterwards, Nikki finds Diane and leaves her with a threat – she will make her life a living hell if she does anything to hurt Jack. Diane assures Nikki that nothing will ever happen. Nikki tells her that she really hope’s that’s true for Jack’s sake … and hers.
Watch Jack and Diane renew their vows in the video below. Then let us know, do you think Jack will eventually be blind-sided by Diane, once again? Should he have married her given thei past? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
Why are these two narcissistic fools renewing their vows when they just got married? I don’t trust overly demonstrative couples anymore than I throw them. It’s like they’re trying to prove something. Plus, these two seemed starved for attention and validation. It’s as if they need convincing themselves.
Thank you, Harry. Those of us who know Jack and Diane, know their inner-selves—-All this show for what? How long before the “walls” crumble again? Viagra must really work.
Then, there’s Audra—what do you call someone who sells her/his body? Quid Pro Quo? Or Femme de la nuit? Or both??LOL.
Does anyone else feel that Diane’s return was completely botched? She’s much better as a villain than “reformed,” and given her last go-around in Genoa City (when Maura West played the role) you’d think she had much more score-settling to do. I was hoping she’d team up with Ashland (remember him?) or Tucker (the hard-edged business man version, not this meek love-sick puppy) or hell, even Cameron Kirsten (if he wasn’t a psycho) and take over the town.
Instead, we got Diane begging for forgiveness, parading around town with no consequences for her actions, and having no real story for the past year… such a waste of potential, but then again, that’s all Y&R seems to be these days.
Jack belongs with Phyllis.
And Nick belongs with Sharon, not Sally!
And Sharon belongs with chance not chance with summer yuck!
Oh please, no man deserves that bitch, well, maybe Tucker!
I totally agree with Harry, Jimmy and Shari’s comments. I’ve always loved Jack/Peter Bergman but the sl with Diane has totally ruined my enjoyment of him. I agree that her return was botched – I’m still living in hope she will screw things up. How Jack could go from his anger at her upon her return to the gushing, simpering fool he’s become beats me; and their constant gushing over each other sickens me.
He does belong with Phyllis – they botched her sl as well, partly to prop up Diane. Jack/Phyllis have far more chemistry and they were so close to getting back together. Jack turned on her for saying/doing far less than Diane has ever said/done. It made no sense when they were so close at the time, and for him to forgive Diane for all she did and for her faking her own death and staying away for so long is totally senseless. I will never be on board with this pairing.
JenW I couldn’t have said it better myself Diane is grating on my last nerve I was always a Jack and Phyllis fan myself It is annoying the way Jack paws and drools all over her On a side note, it was nice to see Diane wearing a color for a change She is always in either black or navy blue. But I agree with Billy I think her true colors are slowly going to start to show We just have to wait and see
Jack is ok but she is utterly insipid/boring/pointless.
I like Diane a lot (the actress) is awesome. Glad she is with Jack! Keep them together, no Jack and Phyllis not unless it was played by the missed Gina T (who played Phyllis very well, very)!
John G needs to be out at YR !
I agree. I actually like Jack and Diane. Now that they are married, hopefully there can be some drama storylines for them, but I am so tired of all of the businesses having more storylines than the actual actors. And yes, Gina was fantastic as Phyllis. I cannot stand Michelle Stafford now. I used to love her and was sad when she originally departed for GH, but since her return, I have not been able to stomach her or any of the storylines, except she did have some chemistry with Jeremy Sparks. And I do miss Allie and Noah. We need some youthful storylines, especially for a show called The YOUNG and the Restless.
Wow! Afraid to write. I have no background on just what it was that Diane did to upset all of Genoa City. I find her, without the background, a superb actor. For a couple of years the scripts for Jack have, for me, presented a character clearly not competent to be the head of such a large company. Gradually he seems to be stepping up on the mental level and finding a rather lovely woman to be his wife. HOWEVER, on any level putting Diane in on the top tier of the company was a disaster. On the other hand, Phyllis is driving me nuts. I do recall her dedication to Jack when he became addicted to something years ago. I would like Jack to regain his intelligence and married life while all of these companies shake out. There should always be something solid in a script. I can’t find it. Then again. I remind myself this is the wonderful world of “SOAPS!
General Hospital
Could Kristen Vaganos and Josh Kelly Be Exiting ‘General Hospital?’

General Hospital fans took to social media following the airing of the Wednesday, October 21 episode of the ABC daytime drama series. In story, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) reveals to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) that she has received an offer to join the top law firm in Chicago that practices civil law. She says it’s her dream job.
The problem Molly says is relocating from Port Charles and uprooting her life and being away from her mother, Scout and boyfriend Cody Bell (Josh Kelly). Wistful that she may lose another daughter to a long-distance situation (Kristina left a few months back to go to medical school in California), Alexis urged Molly to get Cody to go with her.
Molly still seemed concerned and has trouble committing to the idea. Alexis tells her to talk it over with Cody. Meanwhile, Cody asked Tracy (Jane Elliot) is he can have Thanksgiving off because he and Molly planned to spend Thanksgiving together with their families. After initially balking, Tracy agrees.

WILL MOLLY AND CODY HEAD TO CHI-TOWN?
Later, Cody shows up at Miller & Davis and the conversation turned to Thanksgiving dinner that Alexis is hosting. Molly and Cody asked her not to cook anything. Cody hugged Molly reassuring Alexis that he and Molly would take care of whatever was needed on Turkey Day.
So, this raises the question, why out of nowhere are we learning that Molly received an amazing law offer in Chicago, if the character was not being written out? If Molly leaves the canvas, would the character of Cody make his exit too?
Kristen Vaganos joined GH as a recast Molly Lansing-Davis back in September of 2023 and went on contract in August of 2024. Josh Kelly began playing Cody Bell back in June of 2022. Initial reports were that Kelly joined the show on contract and then as of June 2025 went on recurring status with the show per his choice.
Do you see a world where GH is writing out Molly and Cody? Would you be sad to see Kristen and Josh exit the soap opera? If this is not what is going on, is this just a plot point for some other story that is upcoming? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Adam Delivers Sally’s Baby as Billy Reels from Jill’s Health Crisis in Tearjerker Episode

The Tuesday, October 20 episode saw The Young and the Restless deliver some deeply-poignant moments in the aftermath of Billy (Jason Thompson) and Sally’s (Courtney Hope) wedding.
The scenes which will be talked about for some time to come, because of how they can impact longterm story, had Adam (Mark Grossman) being the one to deliver Billy and Sally’s baby, while Billy was gut-punched by a phone call from Snapper Foster that Jill had suffered a heart attack in London.
In story, while up in Sally’s room at the GCAC, wishing his ex all the happiness, (because Adam and Billy have no love lost, and he didn’t want to cause waves), Sally’s water broke. In true soapy fashion, all phones were dead. Sally’s phone was missing because it was with Audra (Zuleyka Silver), Adam’s battery ran out etc. Prior to that, Adam did try to call Billy, but Billy did not pick up his calls, as he was with Cane (Billy Flynn) coming to terms with the news on Jill.

TORN BETWEEN RUNNING TO HIS MOTHER OR HIS NEW WIFE AND BABY
Now in the perfect storm of circumstances, Adam is the one to help Sally deliver her baby when she begged him to stay with er screaming, “Please don’t make me do this alone!” Adam reminded Sally that he’d already delivered a baby twice before. She assured him that it will be OK, and not to be scared, because this isn’t the same set of circumstances when she lost their daughter, Ava, during childbirth.
Downstairs, Billy is in tears over his mother. So too is Cane. Cane speaks to Jill on the phone when Snapper holds the phone to her while at her hospital bed. He tells her he loves her. Billy cannot bring himself to talk to his mom.
Cane decides he will go to London. Billy doesn’t know what to do with a new wife and a baby on the way. It’s clear how much losing Jill would devastate Billy. Cane tells Lily (Christel Khalil) what has happened to Jill, and Billy informs Jack (Peter Bergman) before he tries to find his bride who is upstairs in her room.

A NEW ABBOTT
Back in Sally’s room, eventually Adam asks Sally (who is deep in labor), if she thought she was having a girl or boy, and she said a boy. But then, Adam introduced her to her “beautiful, perfect baby girl.” It was a moment laced with so much history for Adam and Sally and Adam and Billy, when you think of the deaths of Ava and Deliah.
As Sally cradled her newborn little bundle of joy, Adam went to go get Billy at her request, and as he made his way to the door, Billy was standing there. Billy is stunned to see his rival standing, but then Sally tells Billy to meet his daughter!
Billy rushes to the bedside to be my his new wife and daughter, with the heartbreaking final shot of Adam emotionally overcome thinking of the baby he has lost with Sally. and how he wishes things could have turned out differently in a bittersweet moment.

EMOTIONAL PERFORMANCES
The episode was laced with hankie-inducing moments from Jason Thompson, Courtney Hope, Mark Grossman and Billy Flynn, who each delivered, to bring this story so much heart and history. There is plenty of Emmy material within for next year for these four.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Finn Blows a Gasket After Steffy Reveals She’s Gone Ahead and Become Carter and Daphne’s Surrogate

On the Monday, October 19 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, after Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) stammering around and trying to find a way to couch her lie to her husband, Finn (Tanner Novlan), she finally admits what she has been dreading telling him.
But not before, Finn and Steffy rehash Monaco, Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown), and how it was turning point in their lives (that’s an understatement) with Finn reiterating, “Our marriage is precious. What we have is pure and true.”
Finn promises Sheila is out of their lives for good, and Steffy chokes back tears saying how she wished she hadn’t removed her ring and hightailed it out of Monaco. She says she wishes she could take that back, but she can’t.

Steffy tells Finn she has a lot to say. Finn tells her there is nothing they can’t overcome. Steffy says she made a significant decision while he was away. She goes to to say what a great friend Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) has been to her. Finn asks if Daphne and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) are still interviewing to find a surrogate? Steffy says they found someone and the process has begun, and its “me.”
Finn gulps, “What do you mean it’s you?” Steffy eeks out of her mouth, “I agreed to be Daphne and Carter’s surrogate.” Finn, who is a doctor no less says, “I don’t understand!” He explains he knows there is a list of medical and legal hurdles someone has to go through before a woman can become a surrogate for a couple. He also tells Steffy he knows she could never carry a child and give it up.
Next, Finn tells Steffy she’s wonderful for considering to do this for Carter and Daphne, but she’ll have to tell them no. Steffy says it’s too late. That while he was out of town they went ahead with the procedure. Finn asks, “What procedure?” Steffy responds, “The fertilization of the eggs.” Finn learns they used Steffy’s frozen eggs and did the implantation and loses it!
“I can’t believe you went and did that! This isn’t something a wife does when their husband is out of town on a business trip,” hollers Finn. He cannot believe what he is hearing and that his wife just went and did this without him! He pushes back on Steffy. demanding answers, “There’s more going on here. What is it? Steffy? Tell me!” We fade to black.
You can check out the pivotal scene between Finn and Steffy below.
Now weigh-in: are you glad Finn is as of now not being a doofus? That he is pushy back on Steffy? Do you think Steffy will continue with this lie or admit she slept with Carter and became pregnant? Either way, would Finn stay with his wife while she became a surrogate for Carter and Daphne? Let us know in the comment section.
