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.

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!

Oh, Violet—Jack deserves her and worse. He puts up a great facade.
And his grammar sucks—“ between your mother and l”???? It’s “ME”. Jack. Object of the preposition… LOL.
I am so sick of this .
And, Mamie really gets on my nerves.

Phyllis belongs with Ronan—if they would only bring him back!! But, it looks like a triangle is brewing. Phyllis, Danny and Chris.

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

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny and Jason Trade Threats on Each Other

The love affair that once was mobster Sonny (Maurice Benard) and hit man Jason (Steve Burton), and having each others back, is now apparently over! On the Thursday April 25th episode of General Hospital, an increasingly paranoid Sonny is confronted by Jason.

Jason wants to talk to Sonny about a “family matter”, but Sonny says they aren’t family now because he’s working with the Feds. Sonny goes on to say how he cannot trust Carly (Laura Wright) or Jason and he knows about Jason buying back the Metro Court for Carly from Nina (Cynthia Watros).

When the conversation turns to Josslyn (Eden McCoy) and Dex (Evan Hofer), Jason informs Sonny that Kristina (Kate Mansi) knows Sonny ordered a hit. Jason is worried about Dex’s safety. He tells Sonny that if he does something to Dex, Kristina will figure out that he is responsible.

Sonny goes on to say how much he loves his kids and how he will protect them. He then tears into Jason for abandoning his sons, Danny and Jake, for two years and how he has no right to stand there to tell him what to do.

Jason warns Sonny again to leave Dex alone or he’ll personally stop him. Sonny snaps at Jason, countering, “You’ll die trying!” And at that point, Jason walks out and Sonny slams the door behind him.

What do you think about this split in the longstanding relationship of Jason and Sonny? Do you like Jason and Sonny at odds? Will Kristina be the person to ultimately figure out what is happening to Sonny, or it might it be Nina, who knows Ava (Maura West) is up to no good? Share your thoughts in the comment section, but first watch this clip from part of the Sonny/Jason scenes below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Brook Lynn and Chase Have Their Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties

On General Hospital, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) both were treated to Bachelorette and Bachelor parties to shake off any of those pre-wedding jitters. At The Savoy, the ladies have a touching and fun time with Brook Lynn.

The bride-to-be gives a speech to thank everyone for coming, while Lois lets everyone know to try the signature cocktail the “Brooklynn Chaser”, which gets everybody eventually and mostly, drunk.

When Tracy (Jane Elliot) questions Lois (Rena Sofer) as to why there is no music for the party, Lois realizes she forgot, and somehow, who does she call to the rescue? Spinelli (Bradford Anderson)! Saving the day, he winds up playing some tunes and later gets on the dance floor to ‘shake it off’ with the gals.

Lois makes a speech as the mother of the bride, and shares how proud she is of the woman Brook Lynn has become. Wedding games begin, including one of “hot potato” with a wedding bouquet.

When it’s time for the “Silly Poses” section of the party, Spinelli has now morphed from DJ to staff photographer taking memorable photos of the ladies to remember the evening by.

The best part of the event, was when Brook Lynn tries to get her grandmother Tracy out on the dance floor, which, at first, she refuses. After several of the guests bust a move, a tipsy Tracy joins the dance party after Joss mentions that if her grandmother Bobbie was here, she would dance. Tracy says “she agrees” and begins to cut a rug on the floor, much to the delight of the other women.

In the final moments, a tipsy Joss and Kristina (Kate Mansi) have a confrontation about Sonny, and Joss lets Kristina in more on Sonny’s behavior, which looks to have clued in Kristina a bit more as to how something is way off about her dad.

Across town at the Hatchett Bar, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and the men with the exception of Anna (Finola Hughes) and Jordan (Tanisha Harper), all attend Chase’s Bachelor Party where throwing hatchets into a dart board for supremacy is the order of the day. Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Ned (Wally Kurth) get into some words over ELQ, while Dante makes a toast to his police partner, Chase.

Suddenly Dex (Evan Hofer) shows up. Chase thanks Dex for coming, but Dex gets some dirty looks from other cops on the force. Dante gives Chase his present, which is a signed baseball by the Boston Red Sox.

Ned (Wally Kurth) makes a speech that although no one is good enough for his daughter, Brook Lynn, Chase has come closer than anyone has, so welcome to the family. Running in at the end is Blaze (Jacqueline Grace Lopez), who just left Brook Lynn’s party, and she toasts her singing partner, Chase, and to the great man that he is.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Nina Confronts Ava for Sabotaging Her Relationship With Sonny and Signs the Divorce Papers

Looks like Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Ava (Maura West) are back to be each other’s sworn enemy number one. By the end of the Monday, April 22nd episode of General Hospital, the women know where they stand with each other after Nina goes in on Ava accusing her of wanting Sonny (Maurice Benard) all to herself, while her marriage has been on the rocks.

In story, at Nina’s office, Ava shows up to see Nina and says she is sorry about what happened with Sonny and that he reacted the way he did, acknowledging that is was over the top, even for Sonny. Ava says she’ll smooth things over, but Nina says she now understands how manipulative and transparent Ava really is.

Given their horrible history, Nina goes in on Ava and how she should never have trusted her. Nina wants to know how long has Ava had this agenda dating all the way back to telling Nina to turn Carly (Laura Wright) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) into the SEC. Ava says she never told her do to that, but Nina wants to know how long Ava has been playing her for a fool.

Ava says she moved in with Sonny to keep Avery safe and she wants to be on good terms with Avery’s father, Sonny. Nina thinks she likes being in Sonny’s inner circle. Ava tells Nina if she goes to him about her advising Nina to call the SEC on Carly and Drew, it won’t work.  Sonny still considers Nina a traitor and he will think she’s lying because she’s so desperate to win him back. Ava says if Nina would stop blaming everyone else that maybe Sonny would respect her.  Nina says “like he does you?” Ava says Sonny not only respects her, but he also counts on her.

From there, Ava launches into why she and Sonny understand each other, after all, Sonny is a powerful, turbulent, and sometimes violent man. She goes so far to say if Nina wanted someone to just sit by the fire with and play with their grandchildren, she’s got the wrong guy.  Ava then talks about Mike from Nixon Falls (Sonny with amnesia) and how Sonny hid the darkest parts of himself from Nina back then, whereas with Ava they are the same similar creatures, so he doesn’t have to hide anything.

Nina wants to know just what Ava wants with Sonny? What is her end game? Ava responds that they understand each other, in ways she can’t with Sonny. Nina tells Ava she can go ahead and have it all and signs Sonny’s divorce papers. Ava walks out with the documents, while Nina in tears at her desk, takes off her wedding rings and has her assistant come in so she can messenger the rings back to Sonny’s address.

The episode and these scenes featured great performances by Cynthia Watros and Maura West. You can check some of the scenes below.

Now, let us know, what is Ava’s next move? Is she going to become Mrs. Sonny Corinthos? Do you like Ava and Nina as enemies? Comment below.
