THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Kyle and Victoria Ponder the Aftermath of Their Actions: Are You on Team ‘Yay, ‘Yuck’ or ‘Don’t Care?’

One of the hot button topics in soap opera’s this week has been that The Young and the Restless; Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) and Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) took their relationship to a whole other level, after drinking some whiskey … but, of course!
On the Thursday, August 27 episode, as the Kyle and Victoria were in the Jabot offices, teasing each other with the plan to relaunch Vibrante by manufacturing a conflict with Jabot, the two got hot and bothered. Complete with lines of dialog such as Victoria saying, “Kyle, I am so going to love knocking this swagger out of you,” and Kyle whispering to her, “It’s going to make winning that much sweeter.”
Suddenly, Kyle leans in for a passionately charged kiss and we are off to the races as Kyle locks the office door and clothes begin to go flying. In the pick-up later in the episode, Kyle and Victoria are laying on the Jabot office couch covered in rugs err blankets.

FROM WHISKEY TO THE COUCH
In that moment, the two are a bit mortified from their actions and that they let their attraction get this far. After all, she is a Newman and he is an Abbott, and the two waring families don’t mix, plus there is an element of the older woman/younger man drama going on too. But, it appears that this seeming forbidden love, try as the two might, is not going to be a one time thing as much as they protest.
Victoria tells Kyle in the aftermath, “We definitely had too much celebratory whiskey,” and Kyle agreed, and added that they were just so “excited” about their new project and venture together.
Kyle asks if this is a one-time thing. Victoria responds, “definitely.” However, Kyle acknowledges the truth of it saying, “It was pretty great, though.” After they get dressed and prepare to leave the office, Kyle turned back for one more kiss. Victoria swore him to secrecy, as he pronounced that no one will ever know what happened between them.In the end, and as the episode comes to its conclusion, it’s clear, Kyle and Victoria are thinking of each other.
WHAT’S AHEAD NOW FOR KYLE AND VICTORIA?
Speaking with Soap Opera Digest on the romantic story turn between the two characters, Michael Mealor previewed what’s to come, expressing, “What we’ve been doing over the last month or so or however long, it only gets better and it gets more intriguing. And it’s really gonna have the viewers really pick sides.”
However, where the story ultimately goes depends on newly-planted Y&R co-head writers Jamey Giddens and Dan O’Connor, whose stories will not be seen on-air until October. Until then, this was the story laid out by exited head scribe, Josh Griffith.
So, what did you think of Kyle and Victoria having sex? Are you on Team Yay, Yuck or Don’t Care? Let us know where you stand as of now via the comment section below.
Gross. Next….
I agree. Josh has kept Claire and Kyle apart for over 5 months, their chemistry was off the charts as a young pairing who had a lovestory to back it up and could have been the next cornerstone couple. Victoria and Kyle is a waste of time and I find them cringeworthy. Victoria looked so uncomfortable before, during and after that hookup. End it now.
Kyle and Claire were so AWFUL.
Agree
End it now and let’s get some younger couples who has awesome chemistry, like Claire and Kyle, to bring the show to a better place. Nikki/Victor, Jack/Diane and Lauren and Michael need to be retired and replaced with Claire and Kyle, Lily and Cane and maybe even Sally and a new man.
Just get rid of the actors that put Y&R in #1 slot for over 40+ years.Get rid of them you could lose a lot of viewers
That couch is gonna be a running gag now LMFAO
Perhaps when Jack finds out about this (and the sooner the better!) he will throw the couch out the window. Of course, he’s never done such things before, has he? The “fun” begins.
I’m team YAY!! Just another day we will hear Victor blowing a gasket!! I’m here for it all.
This is true soapy goodness!
How many older woman younger man stories are thy going to do? This show needs some new characters quick. Same faces every day, only 12 people live in Genoa City,
Gross & disgusting per her own daughter!
very gross!! yuck!
I am on TEAM YAY with this one. Both Amelia Heinle and Michael Mealor do have some amazing chemistry, and after flubbing J. Eddie Peck’s return, this is a good move to make. Sally McDonald is clearly a hands-in-the-mix kind of producer, which I like. Her instincts were right with this one. Plus, it’s time to flip the table on it always being an older man sleeping with a younger woman. Play both sides of the card to keep it fair.
After all, if it’s good enough for Cher…
Hottest and soapiest affair in years. Bring It On.
Mealor and Heinle have ALL the chemistry. They are hot and wild rolled into one. They have a goldmine on their hands with all the soapy goodness that Jamey and Dan can write in the reveal, especially once their feelings get complicated.
The show needs new 30 something couples to root for. Claire and Kyle were PERFECT for this but Josh just had to destroy them, they truly could become the new Nikki and Victor. And not only did he destroy them but rip them to shreds so he could double down with Holden, his pet, and Claire, a pairing that never worked. Victor/Nikki, Jack/Diane and Lauren/Michael are the top tier of the older supercouples that need to hand the baton to a new group of couples to root for. And every week we see episodes dedicated to how happy the older parings are. Did we need another vow renewal for Victor and Nikki, do I need to seeJack and Diane saying how much they love each other today? Do I need to see Lauren/Michael and Danny and Christine at the Shadow Room? Ugh!
Kyle and Victoria is a waste of time. Hire a great actor to pair up with Victoria! Michael, help!!!! You can get to the new writers!!! LOL!
Kyle and Victoria is one of the soapiest sexiest pairs in ages with the potential to implode the canvas. Cannot wait for more sexcapades.
Team YAY for sure! Too bad I can’t hot “LIKE” on some of these posts that agree with my thinking! The pairing of Victoria with Kyle is soap genius! It creates buzz AND drama! Lovin’ it. Thanks Y&R!
Y and R is so slow moving. I don’t find the storylines very interesting any longer. I’ve been watching forever. The Victor Jack thing is so old and uninteresting. Love all the actors but the stories are so very predictable. And the sets are old and too familiar. I’m not sure what the answer is but something needs to give. The bar scene is old and stale. Who goes to a bar like that when you’re wealthy. Maybe it’s time for some new blood. Nick needs to get out of drugs and take a better part in the story. I thought new writers might make a difference. Not sure how much of the old stories I can take.
Yay! Love them together chemistry is undeniable
Josh Griffith is by far, one of the biggest writing hacks Y&R has ever employed. Good riddance to his BORING wash, rinse, repeat “stories.”
I’m optimistic that the incoming writing team with freshen up / revitalize the #1 soap.
Griffith over-stayed is welcome, big-time.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Heather Webber Makes a Surprise Return Stunning Trina; Alley Mills Weighs-In on Her Comeback

The Friday, October 30 episode of General Hospital came to a conclusion with a one-two cliffhanger. The first, as Trina (Tabyana Ali) and Gio (Giovanni Mazza) finished rehearsing their song at the Cats Eye Lounge, a woman’s feet where seen entering the club.
When the camera panned up it revealed a well-dressed Heather Webber (Alley Mills) applauding and yelling “bravo!” at the two young performers, but with Trina absolutely shocked to see her!
While General Hospital fans knew two-time Daytime Emmy winner was rejoining the show as the supposed reformed “Hook” killer (after cobalt poisoning due to her hip surgery played with her mind), what is Heather’s ‘state of mind’ now?

For months, GH has been teeing up the mystery of who is stalking Trina, with someone adding clippings of Trina to their “obsession” board.
Many viewers have felt that it will wind up being Heather who is seeking revenge on Trina, since Heather’s daughter Esme Prince (Avery Pohl) went overboard a boat and into the Siene in France, and is believed to be dead, after Spencer (last played by Nicholas Alexander Chavez) saved Trina from her.
Speaking with TV Insider about her GH return this fall, Alley Mills shared on her first scenes back: “That was so fun because I love working with Tab, but I’ve never worked with the other kids before. I’ve seen them on TV, but I have never met them before, and they’re really talented, and they definitely got in Heather’s face. And the blessed Shawn Reeves, the wonderful costumer, put me in this fabulous outfit.”

With Heather soon to mix-up with the residents of Port Charles, Mills added that Heather now has some wealth to boot! “It’s been an uphill battle, and she just hopes that people will understand and forgive her,” explains Mills. “But with the wonderful voice of Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte (co-head writers, GH and this year’s Daytime Emmy winners for Outstanding Writing in a Daytime Drama), she just has so much spunk.”
Mills added, “I love the way they write her (Heather). She doesn’t really have a ton of boundaries and social awareness and softness. But she just won’t let people get her down. She’s like one of those dolls outside the gas station. You throw them down, and they pop back up. I feel like Heather is kind of like that now, but in Gucci.”
So, were you stunned to see Heather Webber dressed quite elegantly and showing up at the Cat’s Eye Lounge? Do you think that now more than ever Heather is Trina’s stalker? Let us know via the comment section. But first, you can check out when Heather makes her presence now below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Chase and Brook Lynn Sign Divorce Papers; Are You Glad They Ended Their Marriage or Hoped for a Reconciliation?

Any hopes for a last minute reprieve were dashed when filled with sorrow, Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) and Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) signed their divorce papers in front of a judge in the Dominican Republic on the Monday, October 26 episode of General Hospital.
The judge asked if they really wanted to go through with this, as a teary-eyed Brook Lynn and Chase both hesitated to sign the court documents. They admit that neither of them wants to get divorced, but they both came to the conclusion that too much mistrust has permeated their relationship, and too much has happened between them to stay married.
With that, Brook Lynn decided to put her pen to paper first. She signs the divorce papers. Next, Chase follows suit. They look at each other with tears in their eyes that their marriage is officially over. When the judge went to filing their divorce papers, Chase and Brook Lynn agreed to split custody of baby Phoebe straight down the line 50/50.

THE END OF THE ROAD
Next, the judge returned and gave each a copy of their paperwork. Chase says to Brook Lynn that he thinks that they should each fly back to Port Charles separately, and that he would take another flight home. Chase says goodbye to Brook Lynn and exits. Now alone looking at the empty room, Brook Lynn utters,“Goodbye, Chase.”
Later in the episode, as Brook Lynn flies back home to Port Charles alone, she listens to the message from Tracy (Jane Elliot) telling her she is doing the right thing by divorcing Chase.
Cut to: an emotional Chase who went to the beach. He looked at his wedding ring. Mourning the loss of his marriage, Chase buried his ring in the sand, at the same time Brook Lynn was removing her wedding ring on the airplane.
The drama won’t stop from here for Brook Lynn, because as teased in the GH video spoilers preview for the week, Jude (Wil Traval) will come calling wanting to see his “daughter,” and potentially staking claim to baby Phoebe! As for Chase, now that he is a free man, will he begin a relationship with his ex-wife, Willow Tait (Katelyn McMullen), with whom he has been completely duped? Stay tuned.
So, were you happy that Brook Lynn and Chase actually ended their marriage? Were you hoping that the two would reconcile at the last minute and realize love can conquer all, or do you think they were being adult about the situation that they couldn’t get out of their own way and feelings to make their union work? Share your thoughts in the comment section. But first, check out the scenes from Chase and Brook Lynn’s divorce and its aftermath below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Brook Lynn and Chase Hesitate to Sign Divorce Papers, Elizabeth Reveals Aiden’s Leaving For Paris, Willow Flashes Back to Her Crimes

As the week came to a conclusion on the Friday, October 23 episode of General Hospital, Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) wrestled with becoming an empty-nester, while Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) and Monet (Blythe Howard) conspired to keep Lulu (Alexa Havins) and Ric (Rick Hearst) at legal bay, and Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase’s (Josh Swickard) frozen relationship thawed, but how much?
Let’s take a look! First, in a moment that was written to bring Liz and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) closer, the GH head nurse is wistful over the fact that she just learned that her talented bakery chef son, Aiden, secretly earned his GED and got into a prestigious pastry school in France and to top it off received a scholarship to attend the school.
Liz is concerned that allowing him to go wasn’t the smartest move because of his young age. Dante suggested that maybe it’s her fear of being alone that is causing her to feel hesitant for Aiden to go abroad. He shared a story about the support her received from Olivia when he moved away from home for the first time; that he understood mothers and sons are close, but she needed to let him go build his own life.

After coming to terms with it, she revealed that Aiden is leaving in four days and had to make cupcakes for the Halloween party, Dante offered to help her do the baking. They smile. So, what this means to GH fans? All of Liz sons: Cameron, Jake, Aiden are all now officially off the canvas!
WILLOW VS. LULU
At Miller & Davis, Willow strolls in to meet Monet to go over their strategy in their meeting with Ric and Lulu. While discussing their next move, Willow flashes back to the night she shot Drew (Cameron Mathison) twice in the back, and then later, how she first stuck a needle in his neck to use the paralytic drug that kept him in a locked-in state for months.

When Ric and Lulu arrive, the four end up in a stalemate. Willow refused to drop the lawsuit, and Lulu refused to retract the story on her. Willow’s stance is that Lulu had been manipulated by the Quartermaines, who wanted to take her children away, so Michael can have sole custody of them. Lulu fired back that she was doing her job as an investigative reporter to expose crimes perpetrated by a congresswoman.
Now at an impasse, Ric and Lulu tell Monet and Willow they will see them in court as now a judge will hear the case. Not what Ric wanted that to happen, but now he tells Lulu, they will figure out a way to bring Willow down.
DIVORCE BLUES?
Finally, Chase and Brook Lynn head to the Dominican Republic to get a quickie divorce after how their lawyers dredged up awful things about both of them in Port Charles. While on the plane, the two discuss that they still want each other to be happy.
Once in front of the judge in the Dominican Republic, he asked if the two were mutually consenting to this divorce, but instead, the two sang each others praises.
This left the judge to ask if the two wanted to go through with ending their marriage and he left the room. Later, when he returned with the divorce documents to sign, Chase and Brook Lynn stared at each other hesitating to sign on the dotted line.
So, what do you think will happen next? Will Brook Lynn and Chase end their marriage, or decide to try to make it a go? Is it upsetting to you that all of Elizabeth’s sons are off the canvas? Should the soap recast them all, like they did with Alexis’ daughters and restart the story of these young men? Do you think now will be the time that Willow’s crimes will be publicly exposed, and she will lose her kids and her seat in a congress? Weigh-in via the comment section.
